Mail tries to download hundreds of non existing mail then freezes

when Mail opens it Mail Activity shows 600 mails (which dont exist) and shows it downloaded 72 mails (which it did not) and then keeps trying to download but nothing happens.
Nothing works thereafter in Mail, force quit is only option.
Please help !

Hi Alan.
Verify/repair your disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and assuming this is a POP account, proceed as follows:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/.
3. Locate INBOX.mbox and move it to the Desktop.
4. Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it however you wish, e.g. Inbox (without the .mbox suffix).
5. Ctrl-Click on INBOX.mbox and choose Show Package Contents from the contextual popup menu that appears.
6. Copy the files mbox and Incoming_Mail from INBOX.mbox to the newly created Inbox folder. mbox is the most important. Incoming_Mail may or may not be present. Copy these files rather than just moving them, so that you keep the original mailbox intact, just in case.
7. Open Mail. A new empty INBOX.mbox will automatically be created within the account folder, and this will let you continue using Mail normally.
8. Do File > Import Mailboxes. I'm not sure what the import options available in Mail 1.3 are, but you should choose Other / Standard mbox, or something like that. Follow the instructions to import the Inbox folder created on the Desktop that contains a copy of the mbox and Incoming_Mail files.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

Transport request trying to import itself into non existing client.

Hi,
We are trying to import one transport request ( Source client of transport request 101 ) but it trying to import itself into the client 135. This 135 client has been deleted long time back.
I checked , there are no references in transport configuration to this client.
Error we got during import:-client 135 does not exist. Choose another client.
Can someone pl. let me know what could be the reason.
Best Regards,
Tushar.

Hi Markus,
We did not give target client while importing. We left it blank. But source client of transport request is 001. But in log
600 ( default login client )------> selection for import
135 -
> Selection for Import.
600 is ok but why this 135 is selected for import. That is the problem.
Best Regards,
Tushar.

Trying to connect to a non-existent Time Capsule

I'm on vacation, and my MacBook is trying to connect to my Time Capsule at home. Error messages is popping up all the time which says: Problems connecting to the server "Time Capsule". Is there something I can do to get rid of these messages?
Thanks!
- Daniel

You should only be using the Mac for Time Machine backups. If Time Machine is turned off, then there is no attempted connection between the Mac and the Time Capsule.
If you have any other items on the Time Capsule like an iTunes library or iPhoto library, then the application is trying to find the library....which is not there, because the Time Capsule is not there.

Mac keeps trying to connect to a non-existing server

Title pretty much says it all. Some time ago I accessed a Windows-Share using my MacBookPro (10.6.1).
Since then an error message along the lines of "Connection failed. Can't connect to the server AFOREMENTIONEDWINDOWSSERVER."pops up irregularly. Sometimes every 5 seconds, sometimes once in a hour.
Things I tried:
Repairing permissions
deleting com.apple.finder.plist
loggin in with a different account - no problems then!
emptying the "recent servers" list in GoTo -> Connect to Server...
I'm kind of stumped at the moment, especially as I can't find any log-file entries for this error.
You guys got any additional ideas?

Now it's getting screwy, and looks like some sort of corruption. I recently had a issue with one of my iMac's and it's network settings. All browsers were having problems going to some sites. I went through all the motions, including user account testing, reinstalling and updating SL, etc.
Ran Onyx and cleaned every cache setting known to Mac.
Finally determined problem happened when network location set to Static IP, but not when Location set for dynamic IP. Don't know why, but other computers were able to use the same static IP's fine. The problem machine was using a Static IP for many months, but I changed the IP number to another Static, it worked, then changed the IP number back to the original Static, it continued to work...
So, even though I reinstalled the OS, some sort of networking preference must have been reused in the new installation. Changing the setting reset it or caused a new preferences file to be built.
One thing, I cloned my drive and worked over the clone pretty well. You can get pretty drastic if you've got nothing to loose. With a clone you can mess with the system preferences the same way you did with the user prefs, without causing any new problems on your work drive. You could also play with setting up a new user account and importing parts of the old account to see if you can get a good working account without endangering your data.

Tried clearing 'download history' to fix hanging, but then it hangs

Running 6.0 on Vista. Firefox was hanging, so tried all the debug options on Mozilla website. Seemed to be a DownloadHistory issue, but when I try to clear the history, Firefox hangs again, every time.

That is usually a problem with using Clear Recent History to clear the cookies.

Firefox tries to clear the cookies created by plugins as well by opening a plugin-container process for each and waiting for a response. If that takes too much time then you get that error.

Non-Technical Person Having Horrible Difficulty Trying To Download New Flash Player

I no very little about computer support and have little knowledge of attempting to navigate around the computer trying to correct errors.
I switched from IE 9 to Fire Fox, and now I cannot use videos, because I keep getting alert that I need to upgrade to new Adobe Flash Player. I have tried doing this all day. I get to the download, and confirm to download the new Flash Player upgrade. A prompt comes up to SAVE the file which I do. Sometimes it says Fire Fox not responding, and other times it seems to work. Then I get a prompt to RUN the new program via the download. It does not download. When I hit RUN again, it says that two consecutive downloads are now occurring. It is not running and completing the upgrade.
I searched trobuleshooting tips and it said to uninstall any prior Flash Player programs. I believe I did that.
The whole process of downloading starts over and still nothing.
At one point, something to download. I think it is when I tried to download from the Adobe site. Then it said that the Plug-In could not be found Fire Fox.
I am getting out of my league as to what to do next and how to fix this issue.
Thanks for nay help or advice. Oh, and if you do have advice or direction, please try and communicate it in steps, because as stated previously, I am almost totally clueless on how to correct issues or even take the necessary steps when it comes to resolving computer issues.

This is turning into a mess for troubleshooting.
I click on the link to see what version I have and this appears:
Windows
Internet Explorer (and other browsers that support Internet Explorer ActiveX controls and plug-ins)
10.3.183.10
Windows
Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, Opera (and other plugin-based browsers)
10.3.183.10
Is this my version?
What's the next step?
Somebody should know the correct procedures to follow. The step-by-step listings for troubleshooting keep leading me into a circle of download and SAVE....double-click and RN....and then nothing.
Need help here.

Non-existent uid show as members of group

I'm thinking this might be a manual process, but I'll pose the question anyway.
I have a GroupOfNames - cn=group, ou=mygroups, dc=mydomain, dc=com
This group has many uniqueMembers and is forever changing - additions, deletions happen every day.
My question is: When I delete a user account from the LDAP, there is really nothing within that record to indicate that the user is a member of a group. So, I could have potentially hundreds of non-existent users listed as members of a group, with no way other than a manual process to go in and clean things up.
Is this the dumbest question of all time? or do I have a valid concern?
TIA
Rick

Your concern is quite valid and this plugin handles it for you. Play with it on a test instance and make sure the indexes are done correctly as it causes a lot of problems if misconfigured.

I put an app onto my phone via my comp when there wasn't space on my phone originally to download it directly. Now however, everytime I visit the app store on my phone it tries to download the same app that's already there. How can I stop it doing this?

My phone didn't have space on it when I originally tried downloading a large app (Infinity Blade), so I downloaded the app on my computer to save time and removed apps from my phone to make space for it.
I then connected my phone to my computer and transferred the app across onto my phone and it works fine.
However, everytime I visit the App Store on my phone it starts downloading this same app until it tells me there isn't enough space for it at which point the app goes back to its normal already downloaded self and I can carry on playing the same game.
How can I stop it from trying to re-download everytime I visit the app store?

If it's still trying to download the app to your phone, then it thinks the app is not on the device.
A reset or restart would be a good starting point to clear up the attempts to redownload the app.

MY ITUNES KEEPS CRASHING WHEN IT TRIES TO DOWNLOAD SONGS TO MY COMPUTER. HOW DO I FIX THIS???

Are you using a proxy? I find that when I'm at office network, which forces the use of proxy, my iTunes crash a lot of times, particularly when it's tryng to connect over the internet. But at home or other public wifi thet doesn't use proxy, it'll run just fine.
