Mail accessing the internet all the time and hangs when closing or deleting

Why is it every time I look at my DSL modem when Mail is open there is activity and when I close Mail it stops? It's only set to get the mail every 5 min but it's constantly accessing the internet. The other problem is that it seems to hang when closing and sometimes it takes several mins before it will delete an email that I wanted it to delete. Any ideas? I'm running 10.4.4 with a FRESH install, not an upgrade. I only have .Mac mail accounts so there is no other active accounts that Mail has to access to get mail.
This has only been going on since I upgraded to 10.4+ so I tried to reload the 10.4 several times without any change.
Thanks, Jason

Okay I used the Activity Monitor to check out mail while it was using the DSL connection. It was using 1.20% CPU and receiving 7 packets/sec. It's memory usage was slowly but steadily climbing until I shut it down. Then all the network activity stopped. As I said before this seems to start after mail has been open but not used for about 20-30 min and doesn't stop until I close mail.
Any ideas. Initially I was worried that there was an exploit in the new mail and someone was using it to access my mac. Is this something worth worrying about or is this a Mail quirk that will be patched later? Anyone else having this issue. I'm not even sure it's a problem but I don't see why Mail would be constantly downloading packets????

  • WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none receive

    Hi,
    WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none received"... Help
    I have tried network diagnostics which doesnt help... The only other ting is, when I woke the computer up it said tat another device was using my IP... My wife had plugged her phone into the computer to charge etc but even when i turn wifi off on the phone there is no change... also in settings on the phone the IP address is different...

    The answer to your question is - neither!
    Your PC should to configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically, from the Airport Express. This is the way Windows (and Macs for that matter) are configued by default, and that is the way most people have their computers set up. If you manually configured your PC's IP address to be the same as your wife's Mac, it certainly explains why your PC is not able to access the internet.

  • Why does my computer not upload any updates, crash the internet all the time and give me the grey screen telling me to restart my computer more than it should?

    I can't do anything without fear that it will ask for me to restart or simply crash. I dont know what's wrong. Update load then say there is an error right before finishing, but it does this with most things. Every internet browser I have tried gives me the "(insert browser name) had crashed" and then asks for me to send a useless report to apple. Its only a year and a half old and this started about 10 months into me buying it, i tried to just ignore it but i've lost important things.

    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
    to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
    updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
    Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

  • Hello I need to have my photoshop on my screen home other app from adobe is already on my screen but for photoshop i have to go to Creative Cloud which I am not happy about it because I have to access to internet all the time can someone help me with it ?

    need help about this problem

    You just need to put a shortcut on your screen (Windows) or add Photoshop to the Dock (Mac). You can accomplish this in Windows by clicking Start, All Programs, and navigating to Adobe Photoshop, which may be a standalone program near the top of the list, or may be in a folder under Adobe or Adobe Photoshop; when you find it, click and hold with the right mouse button and drag to the desktop, then release and select create shortcut.  For the Mac, you will need to open Finder, navigate to Applications and on to Adobe Photoshop, then drag the icon to the Dock.

  • Why does my Sony XBR49X850B Bravia TV disconnect from the internet all the time.

    OK sony, I have jumped through all your ******ing hoops to register on your community site, since you have no direct line to support which is absolutly riddiculous, now please answer my question. Ever since I purchased this 1500 dollar TV, Brand New from best buy, I would be sitting and watching internet TV, either Netflix or Amazon, the problem exists with both, and it will just freeze. I would go back to the home screen and it would tell me that wifi is connected but there is no internet. I would have to wait for it to come back or go through the network setup on the TV once or twice. Other Details:This happens every other day almost.I have a Desktop PC running off wifi also, right under my TV, it stays connected without a problem.I do a speed test to on my PC to see how fast my bandwidth is at that time, and it is always 40 mbit - 60 mbit, which is plenty of bandwidth to stream anything.I have tried both wired and wifi connections.I have tried the Google DNS' and assigning a static local ip address.I have updated the firmware.I have updated internet content.I have owned the TV for about 6 months.I have Xfinity as an internet service provider.Tried resetting to factory settings. I am all out of ideas. I will never have the amount of money that I paid for this TV again, I just want it to work correctly.

    Hi midknightsurfer, 
    Welcome to the Sony Community! 
    Please try the following troubleshooting steps.
    Check for a firmware update for your router. 
    Make sure the router is broadcasting the Service Set Identifier < SSID >.
    Please try other device/s. Connect them to your network (wired/wireless) then test those units.

  • Premiere Pro CC gradually slows down, then crashes, but won't quit all the way. Corrupts project, and hangs when trying to open it.

    Working on a project, updated to newest Premiere last night. This morning my project had terrible performance on playback, and eventually the viewer froze on one frame (though audio continued to play back). Every time I try to open it now, it freezes. Really screwing me over, as this project is one a time line. Any suggestion for trouble shooting?

  • Time Capsule only allows one Macbook be on the internet at a time!

    So far no one even at Apple Care has been able to solve this problem.
    My wife and i have brand new Macbooks. Mine, the latest 2.4Ghz black model bought in the UK and her's the 2.1Ghz bought in the US.
    We both used the Orange livebox as our wireless router and it worked seamlessly (albeit only when security was turned off) until i purchased a 1TB Time Capsule.
    I managed to get the TC up as our wireless router with the Livebox as the modem, but, bizarrely, it will only allow ONE computer to be on the internet at a time - and giving preference to mine. Basically, the second i turn my airport on - she loses connection! It's like my computer ***** the internet away from hers.
    If hers is the only computer on in the house then it works perfectly.
    I have spent hours on the phone to Apple Care and changed a number of the settings within Airport Utility, but the longest we got both computer running on the internet together was for about 20 minutes when i switched to Radio Mode 802.11n only (5 Ghz). For a moment we thought the problem was solved until i put the phone down and low an behold, she lost her connection once more.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Don't know what an Orange livebox is, but I will treat it as a DSL modem and assume the ISP uses a DHCP server. Make sure you have connected the modem to the TC WAN port.
    Open AirPort Utility, select the TC, click on Manual Setup, click on the Internet tab.
    - is 'Connect Using:' set to 'Ethernet' - set to this if not.
    - is 'Configure IPv4:' set to 'Using DHCP' - set to this if not.
    - is 'Ethernet WAN Port:' set to 'Automatic (Default)' - set to this if not.
    - is 'Connection Sharing:' set to 'Share a public IP address' - set to this if not (if set to Bridge Mode then only one computer will be able to use the internet).
    Click 'Update and wait for TC to restart.
    Check the network settings on the client computers. Go to System Preferences/Network/AirPort:
    - click on the 'Network Name:' roll-button, select 'Join Other Network...', enter 'Network Name and select the security type you are using, and finally, enter your Password and click 'Join'.
    If ISP uses DHCP:
    - click on 'Advanced', TCP/IP and confirm that 'Configure IPv4:' is set to 'Using DHCP', click 'OK'.
    - click the 'Apply' button and exit System Preferences.
    May also be wise to Repair Permissions using Disk Utility and to reboot your network hardware:
    1. Turn power off to ISP modem and the TC, and shutdown computer - leave power off for 10 minutes.
    2. Turn on modem and wait for it to complete its test cycle. Then turn on the TC.
    3. Turn on computer and check your internet connection.

  • HT1178 What the difference is between WPA and WPA2 and how are these settings affecting the access of other computers to the internet through my Time Capsule

    I have a Time Capsule of the 4th generation and I am pretty impressed since I just had a fried harddrive on my 3 month old Imac and Time Capsule restored it fully including all programs etc. without having me to put in all serial numbers etc. for that I give it an A+. However what I find very frustrating is the very short and incomplete user manual and setup instructions. I give those a D-. It does not explain the consequences of certain choices to a normel non computer gig user like me:
    I do not understand what the consequences and difference is between the security setting WPA/WPA2 and WPA2 when setting it up. It would be helpful if the manual would explain something like: If you set it onto WPA2 then computers older than XXX years will not able to hook up to the internet through your router...or the likes, since I slowly supect this may be the reason for some of my troubles.
    I also have a 5 year old PC with vista connected to the Time Capsule. It can wireless connect to the Time Capsule and access the printer (I have managed that after some painful hours...) but it cannot access the internet with that PC through the timecapsule wireless, only if I hook it up with a cable. Why? Does that have to do with the fact that I have set the TIme Capsule to WPA2?
    Our PS3 can connect wireless, no problem. However, I friend of mine tried it with a quite new Toshiba Notebook and he could see the Time Capsule but again it shows the line from the Time Capsule to the internet blocked. All other computers linked with data cable to the Time Capsule are connected to the internet no problem. What have we done wrong? Should I change the security setting to WPA/WPA2?
    I tried the latter, but then another problem does come up, which was there from beginning on: When I change the settings for my Time Capsule my Imac suddenly cannot find the Timne Capsule anymore, even so I am only 3feet away from it. When I set it up for the first time 3 month ago it drove me crazy. The very first time it found the Time Capsule right away. But when I discuverd a mistake in my initial setup and I went through the settings again to change stuff it suddenly could not find the Time Capsule anymore. Only after frustrating 20 times or so with turning wi-fi on and off several times inbetween did it suddenly find the Time Capsule in the set up menu. However, when I tried changing my security setting to WPA/WPA2 today to see whether this solves my other problems again it could not find the Time Capsule when I was finished with the settings and I had to give up/cancel. Why is that???
    I would really appreciate some help here. But please I am not a computer gig and normally always had assistance with these things. On the other hand I am not all stupid either (even so these manuals assuming we all grew up sleeping on a computer make me feel stupid).....
    Thank you all in advance

    Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
    - To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
    The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
    - They are two kinds of internet connection.
    WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
    If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
    I am sure that they can help you with that.
    I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

  • How can I use a wireless printer and the internet at the same time?

    Hi there, I just installed a wireless printer but to use it I have to click on the Airport icon and select the printer in the 'devices' list. This deselects my connection to my wireless modem. Is there any way I can print and look at the internet at the same time? This does not seem right to me, I print a lot of info from the net and don't want to spend time selecting and waiting for connection back and forth all the time.

    I have a Linksys WAG54G2 wireless G router. This router has a Wireless Protected Setup button which I understood would initiate a search for wireless devices and aid setup but it seems to do nothing. I made the mistake of tryig to use the linksys installation disk to access a setup wizard and that just reset my entire network back to factory settings and it took me 4 hours to reconfig my system. Won't be touching that again. It all seems odd, the printer is compatible with the router as far as I can see but I don't know how to get the router to recognise the printer.

  • I receive a not connected to the internet message several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via cable modem.. When I input my password to enter network preferences, the connection re-establishes.

    I receive a "not connected to the internet message" several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via a cable modem. Software/firmware is up to date on the iMac (OSX 10.6.8)  and Tme Capsule(7.5.2). Browser is Safari 5.1.
    When I input my password at the prompt to enter network preferences, all the lights go green (ie... ethernet, ISP etc.) and the connection re-establishes immediately and states "the connection appears to be working normally".
    It more of a nuisance than anything and seems to have started ocurring over the past couple of months. I also have a windows XP box also connected to the same cable modem that I never have internet connectivity issues with. I've verified all the physical aspects of the connections and can't see any evidence of any actual drops in the modem logs. I suspect it is just an intermittent communication loss between the Imac and the Time Capsule, but I am not very familiar with Mac equipment yet.
    Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem and what you did (if anything) to resolve it?
    Thanks.

    The AirPort Express will connect to your existing wireless network if the network is using WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security settings.
    So, it can join the network as a client and then provide an Ethernet signal to your Time Capsule.
    Be sure to configure the Time Capsule to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will be operating on the same network.

  • I don't have a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet ... just a mobile WiFi (there is no cable available at our house). How do I connect my Time Capsule to the Internet via the mobile WiFi?

    I don't have a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet ... just a mobile WiFi (there is no cable available at our house and the mobile WiFi is our only option). How do I connect my Time Capsule to the Internet via the mobile WiFi?

    LOL!!
    I am in Australia and the ISP... I think both the main ones would fit your description to a T.. big T in particular.
    Your router is really unsuitable.. if it is only wireless and no ethernet.. just buy an ethernet one.
    Do a search on ebay.. 3g router.
    But you can get the TC to join a wireless network.
    It is a non-standard setup that Apple will not support.. the option is hidden.
    If you are on Lion download the 5.6 utility. Go to the wireless set up page and hold down the option key whilst selecting wireless mode.. a new option, join will appear. You can then put in the ssid and passkey of the 3g router.
    But please note the end result of this setup..
    very slow speed. The TC is now a second wireless hop from your clients.. this will halve the speed.
    In this mode the ethernet are deactived.. for reasons only Apple know, they decided you should not use ethernet when doing this.

    is there anything apple could do if i took it to one of their main shops???

    Sounds like a hardware failure.
    Make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to look at. It will probably need to be replaced.

  • How can I turn off access to the internet at scheduled times?

    how can I turn off access to the internet at scheduled times? I use an Airport extreme and several units to extend the range. Kids have multiple devices that I don't want on the network at certain hours. On the other hand, ideally, my wife and I would like to be able to access the internet with our devices after the kid's bedtime and during their school study time.

  • So I have an iPad 2 for two years. Has never been dropped or in water or damaged in any way....now the volume is distorted and I get booted off the web all the time. Plus it shows and no service in top left corner. Any one have these issues?

    So I got is iPad as a gift and the same issues I had with my iPhone 4S is also happening with my iPad. Will Apple cover the problem as it lies within there updates or something. All I know I have taken perfect care of both products and volume is distorted. Can't listen to music, I get booted off the web all the time, I can't even chat with Apple icare it won't work and no service shows on top left corner. What is wrong with Apple products? I'm thinking it's time to switch! I've had to change my iPhone twice now......first time for mic not working and then camera shutter kept sticking. Same on my iPad........ I don't want to pay to get this fixed as it's not my fault this is happening...... It's software apparently?

    This really is starting to feel like a hardware issue than a software one.
    Especially if hearing noises when you connecting up your iPad for charging.
    Something happened to your iPad that has nothing to do with a software update.
    This is why I recommend that
    I can't help you any farther.
    It sounds as if you really need to take this iPad in for a repair.
    Since you are reluctant to do this, there is nothing more I can suggest to you.
    Good Luck on whatever you decide to do.
