Is mail ever going to be fixed?

Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, my macmail has been difficult - slow to load new emails, jumbled up sender listings, just generally a problem.  Is there ever going to be an update to get it back to normal?

My Mail works fine. Thus I suspect the problems you describe are related to software problems with your own OSX installation. And a software update is not the issue.
To troubleshoot your software problem, you could try a few things, roughly in this order:
If you have any third-party mail related software, uninstall it.
Try a safe boot (restart, hold down shift until you see the Apple logo). This does some diagnostic testing and then starts up without third-party added on software. If this eliminates the problems with Mail, then you know the problem is with some third-party software. A safe boot doesn't fix anything, but it tells you where the problem is. Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? If the safe boot does indeed eliminate the problems with Mail, then you can try to eliminate the third party software that is causing the problem.
try a test user account: create a new user account. Recreate your mail accounts in that new account and see how Mail runs. If the problems are gone, then you know the problems are in your old user account.
Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
sometimes there is a problem with OSX that Disk Utility can't fix, and the solution is to reinstall OSX over your current installation. That usually works for OSX problems.

  • Is quicktime ever going to be fixed... it's been rubbish for years.

    I have a large number of audiobooks, I join the mp3 files into one big one then convert them to m4b in Itunes or MP3 to Ipod audiobook converter. These always played perfectly on my iPod classic, many of them won't play now I have a touch, they won't play on iPhone or iPad either. I'm guessing that IOS devices use quicktime as a media player as they wont play on quicktime either. (Error -2014: the movie contains an incorrect duration). If I try to play the original MP3 files they report incorrect times and do not play correctly either.
    All of my MP3 files pass an MP3 check. All of MP3 and m4b files play perfectly on any Nano or Classic player, or any MP3 player I have tried.(lots) and will all play perfectly with iTunes, Media player, Zune, VLC etc. etc. it is ONLY ios devices and quicktime that have a problem.
    I have seen this problem reported before, it has been around many years and Apple don't appear to have the ability or inclination to fix it...
    I guess it is down to the fact that they hate windows users, it is similar to the USB problem that occurred at ios 5 release, you have to plug it into a motherboard (not hubs even though every other USB device works ONLY the touch doesn't) USB port or the device is no longer recognised.
    Apple are well aware of the problem, they just don't care (100 odd billion in the bank they can afford the arrogance).
    Would love to know if anyone has found a fix for the audiobook problem...

  • Is the Burning Speed Issue Ever Going To Be Fixed?

    Used to burn a CD in 3 minutes, now 18-20 minutes. Like a lot of people, it will now only burn at 4X speed. Have seen a lot of posts on this, but never a response on what is going on. Don't have the burner or music on external, so it eliminates that issue. Somehow something forces the speed down, and I have tried all kinds of different cd's and they all behave the same. Has anyone been able to pinpoint or fix this problem?

    The difference between USB 2 and USB 3 is mainly one of supported data transfer rates, the basics of the protocol (identifying devices, bus arbitration, etc) are the same.  The differences don't impact a keyboard at all, since the fastest data rate a keyboard is capable of generating under normal use (~150 words per minute by a phenomenally skilled typist) is many orders of magnitude slower than the average USB data transfer rate - probably quite literally a million times slower.
    Most keyboards actually negotiate the port they are using down to USB 1.1 mode, as they make best use of that particular data transfer scenario (less data more often with less latency on the initial packet of a transfer).
    Generally, when people ask about a keyboard being "updated" to USB 3, they mean they want the additional USB ports on the keyboard to support USB 3, not that teh keyboard itself use USB 3.
    In any case, your situation sounds more like a bad keyboard to me...have you tried using a different Apple Extended Keyboard with the iMac?

  • Firefox still does not remember some passwords. Is this ever going to be fixed? I've had to switch to Chrome because of it.

    I never had problems with earlier versions of Firefox, but starting several versions ago (I don't remember which one now), it started forgetting some of them. The worst problems have been with Facebook, which is the one I visit most often except for my ISP's spam filetered mail. That site has not had any problems. I'm using Windows 7 with the latest updates. Firefox 12.0, Norton AV (2012), Windows 7 firewall. I can't think of anything else that might affect the browswer, and Chrome has had no problems with the passwords. I have IE and Opera, neither of which I use enough to have noticed problems.

    Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
    There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.<br />
    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
    If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.

  • Home Sharing - ever going to be fixed?

    I seem to be having progressively more trouble with Home Sharing; for something that should work so simply, it fails much too regularly.
    My iTunes library is hosted from an always on machine wired directly into the main network router (Draytek Vigor 2830n). Two iPhones, an iPad and an Apple TV access it wirelessly. (The iPhones & iPad acces directly through the Draytek's built in wireless n broadcast; the Apple TV had trouble with this, so I have an alternative B/G access point connected for devices incapable of Wireless N).
    The first problem is the speed - when I select the library it takes a very long time (I'm talking 3+ minutes) before I can browse the shared library, and then thumbnails take an age to load. Once loaded, however, music/video can be started streaming very quickly.
    The next issue is the way media is arranged (particularly video) within the Home Sharing environment. TV Shows are arranged by Season rather than by show, and I can find no way to change this. Everything is just called 'Season 1', 'Season 2' etc; so the only way to choose what to watch is to wait for the thumbnails to load.
    Then there is the problem when trying to watch a video in iTunes running on a different computer. While SD streams reasonably (still slow to load), the moment you try to watch an HD film, you get the audio track with a string of still frames that change periodically like a slideshow. This despite both PCs being wired directly into the Draytek on Gigabit connections.
    And then, of course, there's the fact that Home Sharing just stops working altogether for no apparent reason - almost every day. Just about every time you come to use it, you have to restart the device, close & reopen iTunes, turn off HS and back on again and reboot your PC. Any or all of these can be absolutely necessary just to get to watch a single movie /TV episode, or to put some music on. Yet AirPlay is often unaffected (although not always).
    So come on, Apple. I bought an Apple TV to make use of this wonderful idea and save myself £100s on building HTPCs. I've also invested hours & hours converting my media library to MP4 (M4V) , but so far I'm seriously underwhemled.
    Unless, of course, anybody has any solutions?

  • Are you ever going to fix the "You've been signed out" problem?

    I've gone through forums and your trouble shooting page and I've found a lot of angry customers over thus Creative Cloud "You've been signed out" problem. Fortunately for me, I'm not a customer. I installed it so I could download a trial or premiere with the intention to buy, but now I don't need the trial because this is issue has made up my mind. But I am still curious if you're ever going to fix it?

  • No mail since over 36 hours, when is this going to be fixed???

    My family and I haven't been able to use mail in the last 36 hours.  The status message on Apple support site remains the same, when is this going to be fixed?

    So Firefox is leaving you in "the lurch" because you installed a POS toolbar which is supported by freecause.com which doesn't have its' act together enough to make sure that their security certificate is up-to-date??
    Firefox is doing its' job by alerting you to the out-of-date certificate! You need to figure out what extension you have installed which is causing that message, and disable that extension until the certificate is replaced by a current certificate.

  • Sometimes PDF mails are going without an attachment.

    Hi,
    I have 3 output types and the 3 custom programs.
    When the background job scheduled, the standard RSNAST00 will call the custom programs,
    1)      The logic which added in the custom programs is once adobe form gets generated for output types, I have converted the adobe form into PDF attachment and send the E-mail to distribution list when the Transmission medium is u20185u2019.
    2)      In the program Function Module u2018SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARYu2019 used to convert adobe form into PDF file and class CL_BCS used to send it as a mail attachment.
    3) for the  other custom program,  once script gets generated for the output type I have converted the SCRIPT into PDF attachment and send the E-mail to distribution list when the Transmission medium is u20185u2019 .
    4) In the program function Module u2018CONVERT_OTFu2019 used to convert script to OTF file & CLASS METHOD xstring_to_solix Converts OTF to PDF and class CL_BCS used to send it as mail attachment to the mail id.
    Issue: Sometimes mails are going without an attachment. When we retrigger the output type mails are sent with attachment successfully. This is happening monthly once or twice,even that time also when one output type send the attachment mail then remaining two not send the attachment and vice versa.
    Any clues on this issue.
    Thanks
    Kiran

    I am on the way debugging into it .. to see the escape thing .. looks to me we double escape it ..
    usually, you should NOT have to set anything more, this misbehaviour of incostent read is fixed by 10.1.3 - the escaping, I'll have to check ..

  • What is wrong with icloud mail  and how do I fix it?

    What is wrong with icloud mail and how do I fix it?
    I put the icloud mail login address in the browser, it brings up the login screen.
    I put the login details in correctly, it says icloud has stopped responding, I always send to Apple.
    It restarts and  I get the right screen, below, but all of the icons are blurred out. If you hover over them they sometimes indicate what they are but won’t let me launch them.
    I am using an Advent Laptop with a Celeron processor with Windows 7 and the browser is Internet Explorer  11 for Windows 7.  (I know I am expecting  a lot of it). All of my software is up to date.
    Any ideas? I a not very techy but I'm not afraid to have a go...it communit question. Thanks fr your help.

  • HT204365 The new IBook version for iPad is not opening PDF files. Is it going to be fixed?

    The new iBook 2.1.1 version for iPad is not opening PDF files. is it going to be fixed?

    It is not broken. It works for me and it has always worked for me - every version of iBooks in every version of the iOS that I have ever run on my iPad. Therefore - I do not think that it is broken - or it would not work for me - and for countess others using iBooks and the current iOS version 5.1.1.
    What have you done or tried to this point in order to get rectify the situation with iBooks? Have you restarted your iPad, quit iBooks completely and then tried again? Rebooted the device? Uninstalled and reinstalled iBooks?
    Anything at all?

  • Is Cisco ever going to address the fact the E1200 does not support Wireless-N speeds at all!

    When is Cisco ever going to address despite the touted speeds on their product packaging and what they claim wherever they sell the product that the E1200 with latest or earlier firmwares do not support Wireless-N speeds and usually gets under 1Mbps which is ridiculous?
    Why is Cisco still selling this inferior product if they know it doesn't work and they have not patched it?

    http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Facebook-Support/E1200-Slow-connection/td-p/466164

    Extremely high volumes of connections can affect the speed of your own Internet connection. Did you already verify the connection straight to the modem? If that is working fine, then I firmly believed router is the issue here. Well there is lot of factors affecting slow speed with the router, that maybe cause by a corrupted firmware. BTW, what’s the version number of this router? If it’s already on the latest firmware, what I can suggest is to reset and reconfigure this device. You might as well disable WMM (it’s recommended for version 2 having this issue). My friend and I fix her problem with version when we disable WMM.

  • Mail keeps going off line

    Ever since I got my iPhone my regular mail keeps going off line. I click to put it back online but that doesn't work. The only way I can get it back up is to restart my computer. Anyone else have this problem?

    Hi Brenda,
    Not much to go on so far, but let's start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    How do you connect to the Internet, and do Browsers quit working at the same time Mail does?
