HT1338 My Apple mail is operating extremely, frustratingly SLOW.

My Apple Mail is operating extremely slow. Incredibly frustrating. Slow to load/open messages, delayed when typing messages, painfully slow scrolling through messages. Please Help!

I have been using Apple TV since it came out. While Christmas shopping I saw a great new little Apple TV and thought what a great Christmas present, they are so small now. I bought 4 - yes Apple FOUR.
What I can now tell you is the new one does not compare to the old one in terms of speed. Firstly, when I rent a HD movie on my new Apple TV (tonight for example) the TIME it displays for the download to complete is over 4 hours. Yes, FOUR hours. It also seems that this new Apple TV wants to download the entire movie before I can watch, quite unlike the old apple TV. After 2 hours of downloading, it displayed an error and stopped the download. I then fire up my OLD Apple TV and within 3 minutes (I am not joking come to my house and check it out yourself!) the SAME movie. Even though I had to rent it AGAIN (more money down the drain). I have checked with the three family members I also bought a new apple TV for and they have the exact same issues.
Apple, can you please swap 4 NEW Apple TV's for 4 Old Series please?

How to Migrate Apple Mail to Opera Mail?

I'm trying to migrate all my mail from Apple Mail to Opera Mail. Opera allows for this but you have to give it the file/directory. I used their initial suggestions to get ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail and that got the most recent inbox things, but didn't move things in my folders or any of the sent mail.
Has anyone done this? If so, can you please share how you accomplished it?
Thanks,
kork

Actually I did find a way to do this. While tedious and laborious it works like a champ.
Step 1. In Apple Mail, for every folder you want to save in Opera, you highlight that folder, then right click and choose "Archive Mailbox" then save it to your desktop or whatever. Rename that desktop folder to whatever you want to import as. Repeat this for each mail folder you want to migrate.
Step 2. Go to Opera and select File->Import and Export->Import Mail. From the next dialog, choose Import generic mbox file and click Next.
Then click the "Add Folder" button and select a folder from the exported mail you selected in step 1. Repeat the add folder and selection for the folders you are importing. For "import into" you can either choose a "new account" (in which case it will attach the messages to an already existing account you have) or you can choose "new account" which will attach them to "localhost". If you do import most than once, be sure to select the right account each time. If you select new account every time it will just create another account and you won't be able to change it.
That's it. As I said, it's laborious, but its the only way I could find to do this without using some third party program.
Cheers,
Kork

TS3276 20GB gmail IMAP account in Apple Mail 4.5 is very slow

I have several users with large Gmail IMAP accounts (10GB - 20GB). these accounts work fine from web browser, but one user (87% of 25GB gmail account) experiences frequent slow downs and delays both sending, receiving and worse filing mail in Apple Mail 4.5
I assume this was to do with volume of mail, but other users are fine. I have repared permissions and rebuilt the index, which has made no difference, any ideas what could be causing this?
All users are running recent Imacs with snow leopard sufficient disk space and memory.

Hi, I am striking out in getting to the bottom of this issue and need advice.
I have a macbook (08) running mail 3.6 and have no problem w/ my gmail/aol/att accounts.. but with my wifes new macbook 10.6.4 (4.3 mail) Gmail constantly reloads all mail I delete and I can not receive any new emails. Mail is setting up automatically as IMAP settings even though I have my other email as POP and have no issues. I can not find any help via Apple and searching the internet seems just as bad. I have also tried ports 465 / 993 / 995 none seem to work. I have tried the unlock method as well. I will have to try this auto setup to POP as I can't get IMAP to work.. but it seems like I have tried almost everything! I have seen your responses in a number of areas to this issue but thought I could ask directly. Please help.

Apple mail is making my computer slow

Hi everyone,
Just require some assistance. My apple mail version 5.3 has become really slow lately, and slowing down my whole computer when open and I am working in other apps.
Should I delete the mailboxes and start again?
I currently have 9 different emails coming through, but up until 2weeks ago they have all been running smoothly
Any thoughts and suggestions would be kindly appreciated
Cheers James

I have been having a similar problem. Mail runs very slowly, with halting typing and lots of beach ball time. Through a process of elimination it looks like the problem is actually the "Contacts". When I quite this all seems fine. I suspect it is something to do with the Cloud because if I disable the Wifi it is also fine. Perhaps teething problems with iCloud. Am running Mountain Lion on a MacBook Pro.
While I am here I note that, in what seems to be a separate problem, Evernote seems to have a similar effect on my browsers (lots of beach ball time and very slow). I'll keep multi-tasking to a minimum until the engineers have the Cloud a little better under control I think... Oh and Trusteer Rapport seems to be a disaster as well. Still "security" software has a bad history of mucking everything up, so no surprises there I guess.

Yosemite Apple Mail prints too small

After Yosemite upgrade the body of text in Apple Mail messages prints extremely small. 2 Printers tested - HP Laserjet 5100tn and a Konica Minolta 5500 with a Fiery controller. Printing to a PDF file first is OK.
This only seems to occur when I print messages that I've sent or when I print a message where someone has replied to a message that I sent previously. Only the body of the messages that I sent prints too small. The From, Subject, Date, To, My signature, and anything from messages that have been sent to me from someone else are all OK. In messages that were replies to me from messages that I sent to others, everything is OK except the body of the message that I originally sent to that individual.

I have had this issue as well and have not really been able to resolve it. Yosemite Mail app doesn't seem to have the option that previous OS did where you could choose "Scale Message to Fit," "Rewrap Message to Fit," etc.
Am I missing something here or did they disable this option? I know I can change font or increase font size in preferences, but I don't really need to increase font size for display, only for printing, which seems to be very tiny no matter what I try to do.

How do I stop Apple Mail from defaulting to Oldest Msg at Top?

AppleCare on my iMac just ended. There are many bugs in Apple Mail but the most frustrating one is that Sort By Date at the top of the mail screen ALWAYS defaults to Old Msg at the Top when I have always had the NEWEST Msg at the Top. "Organize By Conversation" also did the same thing but now seems to stay off, which is what I want. I have even restarted after my daily selection of Newest Msg at the Top from the pop-down and while I worked it changed back to Oldest Msg at the Top. There HAS to be a way to fix this, and AppleCare didn't seem to care about it anyway.

TS2972 Music played through Apple TV the streaming is really slow & jumpy

I have just installed a new Apple TV & have my music library loaded in iTunes library on a new MacBook Pro. However, when I try to play music track through Apple TV the streaming is frustratingly slow and track often jams after a few seconds and/or become really jumpy etc. The wireless connection appears to be strong enough - showing full bars in the wireless icon on laptop. But the apple TV signal only shows 2/3 bars out of 5.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix? Do I need to compress the music files (from downloaded CD's) into a smaller file size or different format? I notice that music that I've downloaded from iTunes store seem to stream & play without any problem.
Meanwhile the photo library loading is also painfully slow through Apple TV - assume this is due the same problem?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You need to get your network working better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

HT6154 My Apple account password has been reset on the count that it says it's incorrect. I just made a new one after making a previous new one, and now it says the new one is incorrect after trying to log in to download an app. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED & C

My Apple account password has been reset a couple times due to Apple telling me my passwords are incorrect. I know they aren't because I have already had to change the password three times, and I keep record of my password. Yet, it continuously tells me my password is incorrect. I have just changed it, again, and now I cannot log into the itunes store to download an app because it's telling me my new password is incorrect.
I just bought the new iphone 5s today, so does this have anything to do with it? Please help, this is extremely frustrating.

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

Apple Mail Frustrations

My wife and I are pulling our hair out trying to operate within Apple Mail. We are recent switchers and for some reason, the Mail program is causing the most trouble. Below are a few of our problems:
1. Her Address Book decides to delete all of the entries. She loses everything except for the Apple card and her personal card. We must revert to a backup.
2. When people view her emails and they have extra question marks throughout the entire message that were not typed. I've read about this in the forums but I haven't found a definitive fix for it. I can't even find an Apple acknowledgement for it.
3. This is a big one - sending emails using iPhoto 6.
If she is in iPhoto and wants to send a picture, she chooses the picture and clicks the "Send via email" (or whatever the button is). It creates a new message in Apple Mail. The picture displays within the body if the email and she is able to scale it down using the functions within Apple Mail. She is able to add text to the body of the email, etc. All is good.
She sends the email to me at work. I use MS Outlook XP on a Windows machine. When I receive the email, the picture comes as an attachment and not within the body of the email. Also, the comments she added to the email as well as her signature appear as attachements with a "ATTxxxxxxx.txt" type of file name. There are about 4 of them. One has the email text, another has the same text only with font information within it like:
<fontfamily><param>Lucida Grande</param>
</fontfamily><fontfamily><param>Helvetica</param>
</fontfamily>
It's ugly!
Now, as a test, within Apple Mail, she creates a new email. She clicks the add attachment button and navigates to where the picture resides and attaches it. Again, it appears within the body of the email and she can scale it. She can also add text to the body, etc. She sends that to me at work again. This time, the picture displays within the body of the email as expected, her signature displays correctly within the email, there are no extra attachments or any "ATTxxxxxxx.txt" attachments.
Why are we having so many problems using Apple Mail? These little things are causing us the most problems. They are very frustrating. We just want to use the email program and send photos, etc without thinking about it. It shouldn't be this difficult.
I'm just tired of my wife calling me at work crying because she can't get email to work right, and her Address Book decides it delete all of the entries from her address book and she has to start over (or revert to a backup).
Thank you for listening and helping.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I have been performing the daily/weekly/monthly maintenance.
The address book losing data is somewhat of a less concern for me. I always have backups. I'm just trying to get a good setup for my wife so she can send any kind of email she needs to and have it display reliably on whichever platform/client the receipient happens to be on. Yes, most of her contacts are Windows users who are probably using Outlook or Outlook Express, but there are a few Mac users as well.
I have run a number of tests using my Outlook at work and various web-based clients (Gmail and the web interface to my POP email) and Outlook is definitely the odd ball of the group -- surprise.
Some emails will display with pictures as attachments while others display with the picture embedded in the email. There is also an issue when you can type text at the top of an email, the embed a picture in the middle and type more text below the picture. When Outlook displays it, the text at the top displays in the body of the email, the picture shows as an attachment, and the text typed below the picture also displays as an attachment with an ATTxxxxxxx.txt file name. The contents only shows what you typed below the picture.
There's something with the attachment and the way Outlook displays it that's causing the problem. I even have it more narrowed down that this....
If the email is RTF with some sort of formatting in the message (colored text, etc) the entire message will display correctly in Outlook. The text at the top displays correctly, the picture shows as an embedded image, and the text below the picture correctly. However, if the email is Plain Text, it shows the extra attachments as described above with the ATTxxxxxxx.txt files.
I have also been switching between Text Encodings to try and figure this out. I saw a number of posts saying to use UTF-8 encoding. I have sent test emails using both Automatic as well as UTF-8 and I get the same results. I have also tried "Windows Friendly Attachments" and depending of the email, it still displays incorrectly.
There is also something strange with sending emails using iPhoto rather than attaching a photo through Finder. The email "Content-Type" is different between the two and both display differently in Outlook. If you attach through iPhoto, you get the extra TXT attachments, no matter the message format. If you attach via the Finder, if the message is RTF with formatting, it will display correctly. Strange!!
There's definintely an opportunity for improvements here. Problem is, I have no idea where to start. Hopefully someone has this figured out and may have some ideas.
Thanks!

How long does it typically take to update new apple products? I'm speaking in terms of software/firmware updates. My new Apple TV and iPad 3 are glitchy, which is extremely frustrating considering I have the last gen of each sitting there working great.

How long does it typically take to update new apple products? I'm speaking in terms of software/firmware updates. My new Apple TV and iPad 3 are glitchy, which is extremely frustrating considering I have the last gen of each sitting there working flawlessly.

I appreciate the responses, however my initial post was too vague. I apologize and will explain. The specific issues are the window closes occasionally when loading something large, that has ceased in the last day or two. My battery life is no where near the second gens, is that the extra hardware at work? I thought that had been accounted for? One of the frustrating, albeit humorous occurrences is when I placed the second and third gen within 1 foot of each other, turned off LTE, and streamed a video. From every location the second gen out ran the new model on 3G signal, lol. Not a huge deal since I have wi-fi or LTE pretty much everywhere I am, but disappointing none the less.
The new apple tv is great, except for the same thing everyone is posting about. HD iTunes library streaming taking overly extended load times. I don't expect it will take too long for apple to address that issue. I'm new to apple, last 6 months, but they seem to have excellent support! It is definetly highly rated.
