It takes minutes to delete each message

I can only with great difficulty - very slow - read each message. If I want to delete it afterwards it may take minutes to be moved to the trash folder. This is happening since a few days ago I opened an attachment which was not from a friend but from Argentina.

Why are you opening attachments from strangers? You probably got some kind of malware from doing that.

I unchecked the ask first before compacting, now it takes 20 to 30 secounds to delete each messages i want to turn the ask first feature back on

i unchecked the ask first before compacting, now it takes 20 to 30 secounds to delete each messages i want to turn the ask first feature back on, I hate the thunderbird email when any button is pushed for whatever feature the software goes haywire, plus when using a virus protection is also goes haywire what is up

Compacting occurs when a set amount of disk space is recovered. The only way that could occur on every delete is if you have the threshold and your message size set the same
Tools menu (alt+T) > options > Advanced > disk space and set the limit to 100Mb and compacting should happen very rarely
If things go haywire every time you change a setting like your describing, you have far more serious issues than you are seeing. I change setting almost daily to replicate what people here tell me is happening. Usually I can not replicate their problem, let alone make things go haywire.
If I can untangle User Agent strings, It look like your using windows 7 with internet explorer and no anti virus. You provably need to remove a virus or two before anything will work correctly.

Trouble deleting text messages from Extravert 2

My daughter and I both recently got the LG Extravert 2 and have both had the same problem. I was the first to have the problem with not being able to delete messages, but I was able to solve it after turning my phone off and removing the battery for 30 secs. But I can't seem to get my daughters phone to do the same. I've made sure the messages aren't locked (I've even locked them and then unlocked them), I've checked all the settings, I've tried to delete all messages in the inbox, all messages from an individual, and deleting each message one at a time; none of which have actually worked. It always tells me that it has worked, but then it returns to the inbox and all the same messages are there. I don't get any kind of error message, or anything saying it can't complete the action. It's getting really frustrating because this phone doesn't seem to have that much of a memory for storing text messages, and once it's full, wont accept any new messages. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

That's about when I started having the same problem with mine. I actually just had to get a new one sent to me because the first one completely froze up on me and wouldn't turn back on. So far, no problem with the new one, but I haven't tried to delete anything. While on the phone with the tech person for that problem, I asked about the software update that Z1234 referred to, but she knew nothing about it. She recommended that I call LG directly and ask about it. I haven't done that yet, but will try this week.
I did manage to figure out a slight loophole. If you go to the main screen (press the lock button, slide or drag lock screen.. now you're at the main screen. Sorry, I have no idea about technical terms here! lol ) then slide to the right, it should come up with all your texts listed in order of when they were sent/received. Then open each one individually and then erase. Such a pain it the butt, but I was able to delete most of them. Had a lot of them still stuck though.
Anyway, glad to know that it's not just us, but sorry you're having the same problem. I know how frustrating it is! If I find out something new on the update, I'll try to post. We're leaving for a week long camping trip on saturday, so I'm pretty busy this week! But I know my daughter is going to be itching to get her hands on her phone again (just dropped her at camp today and phones aren't allowed!) so I'd like to get it figured out before we pick her up!

I keep getting message "mozila Firefox not responding." It takes minutes to down load a site - some times it just gets in a loop and never down loads. Then when I try to click on it again screen goes opaque and i get the same message.

Then when I try to click on the screen again the screen goes opaque and I get the same message re " Mozilla Firefox not responding" - and it is minutes before I can get back in to close down screen.
I have downloaded Fire fox version 4 and this is still happening.

Why does it take one minute to delete a photo?

Most times, but not all, it takes about a minute to delete a photo. I get the colorful spinning ball, freezing up Aperture for that amount of time, before it's free again. This also happens doing other odd tasks, such as cropping, making adjustments, etc.
This is beyond just "needing more RAM" or "cleaning out the hard drive". I have 4GB on a brand new 15" MBP, and I have at least 20% of my drive free, so I'm set up for if not optimal performance, then at least passable.
Something is going terribly wrong here. The thing is, this happend on my old MBP (3 years old) and now again on this one (brand new). I'm wondering if something might be wrong with my Aperture LIBRARY.
Thoughts?

If you think there might be a problem with your library the safest course of action for you to take is to one make sure you have a good working backup of your library and then to run the library first aid procedures show at Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
As far as your system setup goes, 4gb is the bare minimum that will give reasonable performance, moving up to 8gb will most likely improve performance. You can check this out by running Activity Monitor and monitoring the swap/page outs stats.
Is the deletes that hang deleting both the master and version or only the version? Where is the library and masters stored, internal HD, external, referenced managed, etc.
Try to narrow down the circumstances that cause this to happen.

I rarely check my email on my iPad mini. But when I do hundreds of unread messages are downloaded, all of which I've read on my computer. Then I have to select each message to delete it, or all selected as a batch. How do I see recents only?

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

Is there a way to display a checkbox beside each message for moving or deleting more than 1 message at once?

Embarqs' (now centurylink) mail website has an empty check-box beside each message to make it easier to sort and delete multiple messages at once, instead of moving or deleting them one at a time. Does thunderbird have the same, or a similar option, if so, how can I activate, or display it?
Thanks,
Tom S.

You simply highlight the messages using the standard Windows selection keys. (I assume you're using Windows.)
To select contiguous messages, select the first one by clicking on it. Scroll to the last message you want to select and click on it while holding down the SHIFT key. All messages between the two will be selected.
To select non-contiguous messages. Click on each one while holding down the CONTROL (CTRL) key.
Once the messages are highlighted you can use most operations (such as delete or move) on the lot.

How to delete multiple messages in the same mailbox all at once? Unity Connection

I just was assigned the task of administrating three Unity Connection servers that are networked. The Operator mailboxes on each system have been taking messages since 2010 and have over 5 thousand messages in them (nearly 3 mega bytes). I've corrected the set up so the mailboxes no longer are taking messages, but would like to delete all the new messages in order free up memory resources, and I don't want to undo all the Call Handler relationships in order to delete the mailboxes and then recreate them, etc. I used the PCA tool to clean up the Operator MBX on a standalone Unity Connection that had nearly 1800 messages, but it took nearly 30 minutes for the PCA tool to load and another 4.5 hours to delete one message at a time (major carpal tunnel afterwards!). For these mailboxes with 5-6K messages, the PCA tool was not loaded after 3 hours!   Is there a faster, more efficient tool for deleting all new messages in a single mailbox? (i.e., Message Hunter?)

Hi There,
+5 to heath for his good notes!
One nice way with Unity Connection is with the use of this excellent tool from the great suite of Unity Tools (use the ** reset" feature **).
Unity Connection Bulk User Delete
For resetting users you have the option of emptying the mailbox, resetting greetings, deleting voice names, resetting passwords, removing private lists and a number of other options you may choose.   For installations where the user base “changes over” frequently such as schools this may be a nicer option. This option is also allowed for CoRes installations since it does not involve the removal of user objects from the Connection database.

Why cant i delete text messages

I used to be able to delete these, but now when I hit the edit button, the red - sign shows up in front of each text message, but when I select a specific one to edit, the delete button shows up and goes away very quickly, not allowing me to delete these messages. VEry maddening.

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Deleting multiple messages

I have a Macbook Pro, I now have Mountain Lion. Previously with Snow Leopard to delete from mail a group of messages from one source, you just scrolled down all the messages - it to a couple of seconds - and then press delete - easy! Why now do you have to click on every message - it is cumbersome and takes time and I am therefore not erasing my emails - and keep getting messages that my inbox is full!
Please can someone give me a simple explanation of how I can multi delete - and if not can someone from Apple explain why they took this simple but useful task away when they created Mountain Lion. In fact I find the whole Mountain Lion mail display system over complicated and having used it now for several months I still hate it and still dont understand it. It may be great for people who are computer savy but for the likes of me it is awful.
Thanks!

Many thanks for your swift reply, however clicking on every message is what I want to avoid it is far too time consuming. Is there not a way that I can scroll down (as with Leopard) highlighting all the messages (sometimes there are up to 20) rather than clicking each one individually. If there is not why did Apple choose to remove this? It was obviously used a lot, as many people are now asking how they can delete multiple messages.

How do I delete my Messages picture?

I would like to completely delete my Messages picture. I have a picture setup for when I login to my Mac, but I do not want anything showing for when I message people.
I already turned off the picture from showing via Gmail settings so that when I chat via Google Hangouts on Jabber the picture will not show to the other person, but one of the default pictures is still showed (to me) when I message someone. This same picture (a default picture) is shown when I use iMessage.
I do not want a default picture and I do not want a custom picture. I just want no picture. Where is the Messages picture stored? When I go to Preferences > Change Picture, there is NO way to just select "no picture."
Thanks.

Hi,
When setting up the Mac for the First Time you get to select a Login Pic.
As you progress through you are asked for an Email and your Full name which creates the My Card in the Address Book/Contacts App.
This will pull the Login pic by Default.
You then start up iChat or Messages and this will take the Pic from the Contacts app (Address Book) by default.
In iChat the Buddy Lists are then on Display and you can click the current Buddy Pic and change it.
In Messages if you only have the iMessages Account it will take the default picture.
In this case Enable the Bonjour Account then go to the Window Menu and select the Buddies item.
I have heard that a Right or Control Click will allow you to remove a Pic but have not found this to work.
Clicking the current Buddy Pic allows access to Defaults (Login Pics). Recents (those last 16 or so you have tried), Faces (From iPhoto) and Camera (Snapshots)
In Recents is a Head and Shoulders "Blank" icon. Select that.
The Login Pic can be changed in System Preferences > User and Groups > Your account
The Contacts one can be Changed in Contacts App > My Card
The Messages one can be changed as you describe (Menu option) and by the method I described (Buddy List)
They can be changed in these places independent of each other.

How to delete email messages all at once?

Please let me know how to delete all my email messanges from my pnone. I know how to delete 1 art a time, but this way would take me forever.

You can only select all and delete all from the trash folder.
You may already know this, but to save a little time deleting each one, you can swipe left from the list of messages and delete, instead of opening each one and selecting the trash can.

How to delete text messages?

Pdf take minutes to open inside of an extracted zip file

I received a zip file in an email. I extracted it and there were 3 pdfs inside. I cliked on one and the hour glass would just appear and at the top of the pdf it would say "not responding". It finally will open but it takes minutes. Same issue for the other 2.
What is preventing this from opening? I have checked Control Panel and deleted all other pdf applications. Ran Registry Cleaner and cleared Temporary internet and Windows Files from my Norton Security Suite
I do not have any problem opening individual pdfs that I receive or create from insurance company pdf creators inside of their software.
I am running Adobe Reader 10.1.1 on Windows Vista. I have a friend who also seems to have the same problem who is also running Windows Vista.
I have a new laptop running Windows 7 64 bit but there is no issue opening the pdf in that same zip file received.
Thank you.

Hi Michael.
I went back to the zip folder, right cliked on it and cliked on extract all. Then tried opening each one and it just hangs. It still hasn't opened and it is now at least 5 minutes.
