Mail hangs after a few seconds

Just this evening, about an hour after I downloaded the MobileMe update, my Mail app started hanging after about 4 seconds. Totally unresponsive, beachball of doom etc requiring a force quit. I've tried most of the suggestions I can find here (deleting To-do lists, turning off synching, moving plists, repairing drives etc) but nothing seems to work.
Logic points to the MobileMe update (I have a new 3G iPhone that seems to be working and synching ok), but I'm kind of stuck with no mail on my main machine and was wondering if there was anything else I could do rather than sit in and wait for an Apple update (providing there will be one).
Many thanks in advance (and apologies if I've pasted the wrong part of the report here -I had no idea what to post)

First of all, don't be trying random solutions unless you know what you're doing and why; you'll create a lot of trouble for yourself, and often it can't be fixed without a radical, time-consuming solution.
You seem to have httpmail running as a Bundle for Mail; disable it and then try starting Mail again to see if that resolves the problem. If so, that means you'll have to delete it, since it is conflicting with Mail and will cause it to hang or crash.

Firefox hangs after a few seconds

When I open a site like Youtube or some livestreams, Firefox quits working after a few seconds. I can only close it with Task Manager.
I've tried all possibilities from Firefox help, nothing works. The problem seems not to depend on any configurations, Add-Ons or Plugins.
I've deleted Malware and also tried de-installation and new installation, but the problem is still on board.
I hope anyone can help me :-(

i have the same problem..... and i still waiting for an answer...

My multiclip preview pane hangs after a few seconds

Uh oh.
This is my first time editing a multiclip with 6 HD streams, and playback hangs after just a few seconds. If i pause and give it a moment to catch up, it will play for a few seconds more.
On the RT button on the Timeline, I have selected: Safe RT, play base layer only (doesn't seem to matter) Video Quality Poor (Dynamic isn't any better), Frame Rate Quarter, and of course Multiclip playback is checked.
I'm working with ingested AVCHD footage in ProRes LT. I already shut down, waited a minute, and restarted the machine, no other programs running besides browser and mail.
I'm wondering if there are any other adjustments I can make so that I can see the multiclip view to do live switching thru this footage.
I'm working with an eSata external drive with an eSata card in the expansion slot. It's the fastest drive I've got.
Thanks for any suggestions (besides buying the Thunderbolt drive) I'd be grateful!

It is highly unlikely your disk system can handle playing back 6 steams of ProResLT.
A serious multi drive RAID run through esata should handle this. A single drive will probably choke.
First set your RT playback to Dynamic - not safe.
Beyond that there are at least three ways to deal with this ...
1. Use ProRes Proxy (or DV) in an offline-online process.
2. Figure out if you REALLY need all six angles. Choose which 4 to use for the main cut (or three if that's all your drive can handle), then output that sequence as a new file using "current settings, self contained". Bring that new file in and make a second multiclip adding in the other two (or three) streams.
3. Acquire a RAID that can push out 400-500 MB/s.

Mail crashes after a few seconds

Hi I have a problem where mail will crash after 10 seconds. It does not say why it just closes. Due to problems that I have been having with the machine anyway the whole system was rebuild a few weeks ago and and the 10.4.8 combo update was installed at the end of Jan. Since then I have had no problems until friday. I have removed the permissions for mail and also verified and repaired the disc permission but am still having no joy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have seen that people have suggested re-installing the 10.4.8 update which I have downloaded and done this morning but that has not changed anything.
Powerbook 1Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Spoonski
Hi I have a problem where mail will crash after 10
seconds. It does not say why it just closes.
Have a look at console.log and system.log with /Applications/Utilities/Console.app and post possibly related entries here. Best thing is to start Console.app, then Mail.app and see those messages coming in.
Due to
problems that I have been having with the machine
anyway the whole system was rebuild a few weeks ago
and and the 10.4.8 combo update was installed at the
end of Jan. Since then I have had no problems until
friday.
What did you do on friday?
I have removed the permissions for mail
Please elaborate on this one. I don't understand what you mean by removing permissions.
also verified and repaired the disc permission but am
still having no joy.
This doesn't touch files in your home folder, only Applications and System folders. So no joy as expected.
Any help would be greatly
appreciated. I have seen that people have suggested
re-installing the 10.4.8 update which I have
downloaded and done this morning but that has not
changed anything.
I don't think this has anything to do with your system, but either with your settings you use to check your mailbox or with your mailbox itself.
What do you use to connect to your mailbox? IMAP, POP?
Are you sure you understand all the settings in Mail.apps Accounts Preferences? Here's the place to ask.
Regards
Gregor

Mail crashes in a few seconds

Why does the mail crash after a few seconds?

Note the date and time the problem occurred, then go to Applications/Utilities/Console and copy the log starting at the time of the crash. Paste the log in a reply. Please do not use a screen shot as they can be hard to read. If there are repeated runs of the same messages, please post only one run. Be selective about what you post and don’t post huge amounts. Make sure there is no personal data visible. Information learned from Linc Davis.

My mail app quits a few seconds after launching. I get a blank screen and then it goes back to the starter screen

THe mail app on my ipad 2 quits right after launching. This happened as I was forwarding an email with a long attachment. Now I get a blank screen with just the icons, no mail mailboxes etc. after a few seconds that blank screen disappears and we go back to the starter screen. I tried rebooting, relaunching but no luck so far. Can somebody help me? Thanks
Hans V

Have you tried removing the email account from the app through settings? I would try removing it, rebooting, opening the email app to see if it still crashes, & then adding it back your email account.
If you're leary about causing more issues while you're not home, you could always try using a third party mail app (there are many), accessing your email through it...not a fix for your problem but a way to deal with the situation until you can get it worked out.
Resetting all settings on the iPad (not deleting content) is a good way to clear many errors as it can remove leftover cache files & files that have become corrupt.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck & let us know if you get it working.

"Mail" application "closes unexpectedly" after a few seconds.

“Mail” application "closes unexpectedly" after a few seconds.
I use "Mail 1.3.11" to hnadle my e-mail. It works fine.
This weekend, due to a problem with an address, the server of my University has delivered more than 1000 messages to my account.
When I have opened "Mail 1.3.11" those messages have begun to enter into the "in" mail box. I have stoped it but anyway a good quantity of them have entered.
I have already solved the server issue but now that I want to empty those messages from "Mail 1.3.11" I cannot since the application "closes unexpectedly" a few seconds after opening it without letting me do anything.
How could I open and kept open my "Mail 1.3.11" until I am able to clean it?
Thank you,

Mail.app Search "Clearing" After a few Seconds

When I go to search for something inside Mail, I can usually find something just fine, but after a few seconds, Mail's search filter "clears" and the mailbox view goes back to unfiltered list. This is especially aggravating when reading a message thread in the filtered results, as it will take you from your view of the thread while reading. I am about at my wits end...
Has anyone seen this before? Any tips on how I might resolve this?

This started happening to me only recently. Same hardware, no OS update - most obvious thing I'd changed recently is that I'd gone from having one (enabled) mail account to two. Previously it was just one Exchange account, and the new account is a Google IMAP account. I'm going to test to see if the problem goes away when I disable *either* of them (suggesting the problem is in how Mail.app handles multiple enabled accounts) or if I must specifically disable the Google IMAP account (suggesting the problem is specifically in how Mail.app handles Google and/or IMAP).

Searching in Mail.app: results lost after a few seconds

Mail.app (Version 7.3 (1878.2))
Anyone finding that sometimes searching in Mail.app loses the results after a few seconds?
Suppose I'm in my Inbox and I want to search. I type in a search term, the results will appear as expected, but then after a few seconds – without doing anything – the search results are replaced by my Inbox again.
The work around is simply to retype the search term.
(I've already reindexed my hard disk.)
Best wishes, Jon

Mail Hangs after 10.5.6 update

After installing the 10.5.6 update via Software Update Mail started to Hang. Odd, it worked for about a day then turned south, very south. I have no 3rd party add-ons. Simple set up to SBC global DSL via yahoo. I can't even create a new account because Mail hangs within 5-10 seconds of launch-beach ball and force quit. I have restored a pre update version of mail.app via Time Machine, but that does not change a thing. Kept both versions. I don't know what other elements could/should be restored from Time Machine to regain pre update functionality. Please, any suggestions.

After losing hours of my life trying to find an answer, I tried mucking around myself. Found that Time Machine can indeed restore Mail, or at least it did repair my problem. Rather than replacing Mail.app and main library files, which did nothing, I restored my 'User' Mail LIbrary ( 'damaged user Account' >Library>Mail ) to Sunday before the 10.5.6 update. Be sure to Import mailboxes from the splash screen Welcome to Mail Window that will appear when you relaunch Mail after TM restore, this will restore all the mail boxes as they were, otherwise everything is empty. I now will be archiving my mail diligently, I promise, even before the new year. Seems the 10.5.6 upgrade has caused many many problems in many many areas, Mail just being the one I was blessed with. Good Luck. Time Machine is Wonderful when it is on an external HD.

Firefox hangs for a few seconds when trying to pause videos or skip ads on Youtube.

Hello all!
My problem is that YouTube sort of hangs for a few seconds when I try to pause a video or skip ahead or skip ads. The video freezes while the audio keeps playing until, after say 5 seconds, youtube finally does what I tell it to do.
This doesn't happen if the video is embedded on a different website, nor does it happen on Vimeo, Dailymotion etc. I can play YouTube videos perfectly while using Chrome, IE and a Windows 8 Youtube app I have.
After the initial freeze all commands start working very well, at least until I open a new video.
I noticed that a lot of people are having trouble with youtube while using firefox and I've tried a few things:
- uninstalling and reinstalling flash and java
- starting Firefox in safe mode
- using different antivirus software
- reinstalling Firefox
I read that this might be a problem caused by the whole Google being all buddy-buddy with Adobe thing, but I'm skeptical.
So, is there any way to get YouTube to work properly?
Thanks!

FF 30.0 hangs for a few seconds when opening new window

It seems like
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/984193
It did not start with 30.0 but I upgraded in the hope that it would solve the situation.
Every time I open a new window FF hangs for a few seconds. It does not hang opening a new tab!
I tried the steps described in the above topic but they did not work.
if I open the console and type
gSnippetsMap.clear()
the result is
undefined.
If I type
localStorage['snippets-last-update'] = 0
the result is
[Exception... "Component is not available" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: debugger eval code :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1" data: no]
There is no difference if I use "Show a blank page" or "Show my home page" where home page is set to "about:blank" for "When Firefox starts".
BTW, I am using Windows 8.1

Short addition:
After the new window is opened I can type a few characters (max 5) into the searchbar. Only from then the hang begins.

InDesign CS6 hangs for a few seconds when transforming group (OSX 10.8)

I'm testing InDesign CS6 under OS X 10.8. Seems to work without problems - except one thing which I noticed several times while working on a document (that I was working on under 10.7 as well, without problems):
I transform a group of objects (mostly placed Illustrator EPS) by dragging one corner of the group (with one or more modifier keys). After a few moments InDesign gets unresponsive (it freezes, cursore won't move, although you can change apps via Alt+Tab). Activity monitor shows 100% CPU usage (for one CPU core, at least). After a few seconds, everything goes back to normal.
Process analysis looks sth like that (it goes on and on like this):
This might be a problem related to this very document. On the other hand, this worked flawlessly under 10.7. So maybe someone at Adobe wants to look into that?

Thanks, I'll try that.
In the meanwhile, I opened another document that contains the same group of objects. No hangs here. So this might indeed be a problem related to the document itself.

IChat disconnects after a few seconds and starts to blink the whole screen

iChat disconnects after a few seconds and starts to blink the whole screen
this started since I installed Leopard; if I go back to 10.4 it works OK. I got rid of all the plist and it still hangs up. How can I uninstall this. On my laptop it works OK but I installed it with complete erase on laptop; on my desktop I stalled it over the old system.
error message AIM time out An AIM service error occurred.
Error: Serv:RequestTimeout
and you have attemptedto log too often in a short period of time. wait a few minutes before trying to login in again.
EVEN THOUGH I ONLY TRIED ONCE TO LOG IN.

If you Archived and Installed then check iChat launches from the Applications Folder.
If it does that Drag the current (iChat 3) icon off the DOCK and drag iChat 4 to the DOCK.

Anything that I copy on my desktop gets deleted automatically after a few seconds. Any idea what is going on ?

I have a problem with my MBP.
One day something weird started happening. Every time I would copy / save / download something on my desktop it got deleted automatically after a few seconds. On very very rare occasions this would not happen.
This has been going on for 3 months now and I haven't found any sollution. The last option is to format and reinstall Lion but I hope there is a faster/better solution than that.
I have a 2011 15-inch MBP with the up-to-date Mac OS X Lion.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are four lines of text in monospaced type, which are UNIX shell commands. They’re harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of running these commands, search this site for other discussions in which they’ve been used without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. A text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk ' !/com\.apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
Step 4
ls -1A {,/}Library/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Sta}* 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, change it to something like “[email protected]” before posting.
Remember, steps 1-4 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
You can then quit Terminal.
