After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and Note need about five minutes to start.
After starting, Mail answers are very very slow. The same for Note. Instead of, sending mails is only a bit slower than before upgrading.
In Safari, I choose Goggle as starting page in Preferences, but at every restart misses that starting page and the search strip says "Seek Google or instert an address".

Well, I found the solution here in another thread.
i just want to mention that the samw thing was happening also for the notes and the reminders apps!! (they quit unexpectedly!!).
So I found the solution here.
Thank you graphicsluc!!!

Mail for Mac on new hard drive won't import Mail from old hd

I recently installed an additional hard drive (running Tiger), but I kept my old one (running Panther), too, to use as a backup.
After resolving a few snags, the data and apps transferred over OK, but two days ago I (very foolishly) tried to make a change in the name I use as Administrator (or at least that's what I meant to do), and all the apps on my new hard drive forgot their passwords, preferences, etc.
What a pain!
I'll eventually get all the preferences, etc., set; but Mail on the new hd also lost everything--addresses, trash, sent messages; and that's got me baffled.
My old hd still has Mail on it (including addresses, etc.), but I haven't been able to import data from it to Mail on the new hd.
In the new Mail, under the File menu, when I choose "Import Mailboxes" and select the button for Mail for Mac OS X, then navigate to Mail on my old hd, it's faint and can't be selected.
Suggestions of any kind would really be appreciated. (And from now on, I'll just live with my name being misspelled as Administrator!)
Thanks a lot,

Richard,
Welcome to the Discussions.
When trying to import a pre-Tiger mailbox created with Mail, use type "Other", instead of type OSX.
However, if you can replace any copy of the Mail folder on your Tiger drive, and any com.apple.mail.plist in the Preferences folder of your Tiger drive with copies from your Panther drive, Mail will open to say it is ready to import Mailboxes, and will then convert all the mailboxes at once.
However when finished, you will need to check for leftover files, that can become problematic, and to check to see if full conversion took place. See:

Mail for MAC - Unable to handle 2 accounts pointing to the same server

Hi,
I have two accounts on MAIL pointing to the same server.
I am unable to send/receive mails from one of them, since they both point to the same SMTP server.
Is this a restriction on MAIL for MAC?
How does one over come this.
I'd written to Apple support and even made an update suggestion.
But obviously they dont care. It''s been over 8 months since I wrote.
And I am seriously going MAD with this problem!
I've even switched 3 ISP.
Please help.

Hi BobTheFisherman,
Thanks for responding.
So while I understand how mails work on mail servers with UID's and PWD's ...Here's the deal.
When setting up an account, MAIL asks for the SMTP profile setting, (which includes the SMTP mail server). It then creates the SMTP profile.
So if I have two accounts, I set up account 1 with the mail.xxx.com as mail server.
While setting up the second account, I again use mail.xxx.com (as the SMTP server)
So when if I have set up account 1 as the first account with the SMTP server ... while sending mail from the second account, it takes the the settings of account 1, and then the mail reply comes to account 1 instead of account two.
Does this explain my problem?
Do let me know, cause I reall need an solution.
Thanks again.

Converting from Entourage to Mail for Mac on OS 10.5.6

Can anyone give me tips on how to convert from Entourage 2008 for Mac to Mail for Mac. I am on version 10.5.6 OS. Also, I have some files on Outlook (windows PC) that I want to move over to the mail including old emails, addresses, etc.
Any tips with specific instructions and other hints as to what to consider that won't transfer would be appreciated

OK
Scenario 1
(assumes Mobile Me membership)
Set up Apple Mail in your Mac Pro, iMac, ... and set preferences in Mobile Me to include email stuff
Login to MacBook Pro, Air, ... other iMac, other Mac Pro > enter mobile me stuff there and Bongo! Apple Mail on the second machine synchronizes with stuff set in Apple Mail on first machine.
Turn on the iPhone > Bongo! iPhone Mail will show the same email accounts as on the other two machines described above.
One does not need to re-enter stuff for the sake of it. Mobile Me makes it easy.
On the second machine create a new email account or add an existing one to Apple Mail > Bongo! Details updated on the first machine and also on iPhone.
Scenario 2
(assumes preferences set in Mobile Me for calendars and contacts)
Create new contacts in each of the three machines (that is the first machine, the second machine and the iPhone) > Bongo! Details will be synched across all three machines (okay, iPhone calls them contacts and the other machines call it Address Book but ... )
Create appointments in Calendar or iCal in ... well, they are synched as well.
Scenario 3
On a PC, away from each of the three machines detailed above. Need contacts and calendars (yes, iCal and iPhone calendar support multiple calendars with an overview summary of all, yep, ALL calendars.
Fire up Safari on the PC (Safari 4 seems sweet) > go to www.me.com > enter username and password of Mobile Me account > Bongo!
I suppose it may also be a time thing in sense that many people, self included, might recall a time when every calendar needed every detail keying in (other computer operating systems running different applications). Sure there were import/export utilities or thunks bet these tended to be at variance with each other regarding ordering of data fields, field parameters and in my own experience a bad import though swift was less reliable than re-keying in the details.

Is it possible to import MS Outlook Mail for MAC 2011 files into AppleMail?

Is it possible to import MS Outlook Mail for MAC 2011 files into AppleMail?

Yes and no.
Outlook for Windows (or Mac) can save individual emails as .msg format, Apple Mail cannot import these but there is a utility that can convert them to the .eml format supported by Apple Mail.
See http://45rpmsoftware.com/mailraider.php
Outlook for Windows can also export entire folders of emails as PST files, again Apple Mail cannot import these but there are utilities which can convert PST files to the mbox format supported by Apple Mail.

Are there any known conflicts between Mountain Lion and Microsoft Outlook for Mac? After installing, I can't send or receive eMails

Are there any known conflicts between Mountain Lion (10.8.3) and Microsoft Outlook for Mac? After installing, I can't send or receive eMails. Using a Macbook Pro.

Is this a recent problem or has it been going on for some time. If you just updated to ML, you might want to confirm that you've update to the latest MS Office / Outlook patches.

I downloaded Lion and now 3 of my mail addresses are offline and I cannot access or send messages. Any ideas?

I downloaded Lion and now 3 of my mail addresses are offline and I cannot access or send messages. Any ideas?

If it's because you were using Office 2004, the eight year old version of Office that was written when Intel processors were not used in Macs, then there will be no fix. Lion dropped support for PowerPC applications, as has been widely reported since Lion's release last August.
You can upgrade Office 2004 to Office 2008 or Office 2011. You can use iWorks 2009 that can open Microsoft files. You can use a number of free applications that are also capable of working with Microsoft documents. You can go back to Snow Leopard, if you have a backup. Or, if you have an external drive or room to add a partition to your current drive, you can install Snow Leopard on it.
Search these forums for more information. If this is your issue, it's been posted and answered several times a day since August 2011.

Mac pro sometimes taking about 10 minutes to boot up..

hey there.. my mac pro has recently started taking a long time to boot up..
i use split screen and the other screen just goes a plain blue colour until i have to hold the on/off button on the tower until it goes off and then turn it back on again..
when it comes back on the icons are still there but they remain frozen for about 10 minutes..
i was just wondering how to tell if i need more memory or anything..
any help would be massivley appreciated thanks : )

I get exhausted with "how to prevent and repair system" advice, it all boils down to
Disk Warrior - #1 disk repair and maintenance to deal with the above, but a repair is sometimes only as good as to recover files, and you should always be ready to restore from a good backup.
SuperDuper - clone system, while it is good shape; clean install to another drive for emergency; more than one backup set
And your boot drive file system and directory are corrupted by hard power offs same as hard freeze.
Rule out why it takes so long, trial and error, remove cables, devices, insure that the Mac OS X drive volume is selected in Startup Disk control panel (sys prefernces) and that network booting is not by accident or otherwise selected.
Add more backup drives, a maintenance routine you follow, and try cloning your system to make sure yours works as it should - and so in an emergency you aren't doing it for first time.

Remote Desktop Connection for Mac - connection lost after a minute idle

Hi There,
I am trying to connect from a Macbook Pro to my work (XP) machine using the latest Remote Desktop Connection for Mac.
It used to work fine, and recently it has been dropping the connection if I've not been 'active' for a minute or so.
What is confusing is that it is not always like this. Some days, I can leave it inactive for hours over lunch etc, and I'll come back and it will be fine. And just the other day, in the morning it dropped me out ever minute or so I was inactive, and then the afternoon was fine, and the evening was troublsome again.
Our administrators had not changed anything during that time, nor had I changed anything on my XP machine at work, or my Mac at home.
I connect via a wireless connection.
These problems occur when running on battery and when plugged in.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
ThreeIsles

Client reconnection to conventional cluster taking about 9 minutes

Hi,
I've set up a 3 node OpenMq (4.4) conventional cluster and am having trouble with client reconnections when I simulate a halt on a node.
I have two threads within the same process, sending to a pre-configured destination and replying using a temporary queue. Each have a JMS connection to the same home broker. If I bring the home broker down with either the imqcmd command or with a ctrl+c, the goodbye messages are sent and the client connections are immediately reestablished by the connection factory with the next broker. But... if I remove the broker from the cluster by simulating a BSOD, power failure, etc, no goodbye messages are sent (obviously) and the connected clients are left 'connected' to the dead broker and only reconnect to another broker after about 9 minutes.
I read in the docs that the 'imqPingInterval' property can be used to test the client connections but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. After I've cut the power to the broker's virtual machine, I'm seeing the ping messages in the logs, e.g.:
FINEST: Outbound Packet:PING(54):296-127.0.1.1(bd:ea:13:9b:ae:a)-51155-1267024410861;BrokerAddress=10.59.148.9:7676(1082), ConnectionID=4090718717872600064, ReconnectEnabled: true, IsConnectedToHABroker: falseAt this point, telnet cannot connect to 10.59.148.9:7676 so it's definitely gone.
Finally after about 9 minutes, the following shows up in the logs:

Handling a machine failure seems like a pretty standard scenario for a cluster so I'm sure there's something I've mis-configured.
Is there something I can do to fix this?
If not, the only other alternatives I see are to either:
1) Try the HA custer. But I'm not sure this will fix the problem if the client is waiting on a dead socket.
2) Lower the message ack to something like 10 seconds and reconnect to the cluster for a retry every time we get a JMSException. But this is obviously not ideal either.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nigel,
The producer is configured to send messages every 5 seconds and the consumer is sitting with a message listener on the queue.
The producer send is failing each time with the following trace...
