Mail very slow to get new mail after Lion upgrade

After I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion my Mail application has become very sluggish. It takes ages to show new mail from my Gmail account. It seems to spend ages downloaded messages. If I access my Gmail via Safari it is virtually instant.
Any advice most welcome!

I had a similar problem and it was related to my wireless network settings.  The Lion upgrade had created a second wireless network setup named Apple 888.b1 on my airport/time capsule.  I deleted that second phantom one so it was just back to the one that I had setup and everything is fine again.
So if your broadband connction is wireless you might check the wireless settings and see if a second network setup was created.

  • Very slow to open new window

    How to fix very slow opening window. I have vista 64. Since the last foxfire update it is very slow to open new windows. It can take some windows opening over a minute to open. (yes minutes not seconds)
    Once a window is open I can open in new tab with no problem, but not with new window. (I like to have many windows open at a time)
    When l click to open a new window either from a link or new window, it seems that nothing is happening. Then clicking to open another one which seems to open faster. Then all of a sudden the first window decides to open after about a minute or so. Sometime it seems to hang longer than other times.

    I did try the safe mode and didn't work. I did make iexplorer my default and then back again to foxfire and it somewhat worked. It was work not bad (but not as good as before) until I rebooted and it seemed the more I used it the better it became. Go figure :)
    Well I just did another firefox update to 4 and it works perfect and maybe even better than before. (or I got use to how slow it was :) )
    Thank You for you quick reply and I'm very happy for the new update... So far so good.

    Answering my own question here. It's fixed! Another user recommended I switch to another wireless network then back to mine. And it worked! Mail is sending again with no problem.

  • Kate always open files in a new window after kde upgrade

    kate always open files in a new window, instead of the existing window as a new document after kde upgrade to 3.5. someone else have the same experience and have a solution for that ?
    cheers,
    notz

    The problem is solved!
    Apparently the Content Disposition: Attachment in the BLOB Download Format Mask does the trick.
    For some reason I have to logout and login again in the application to see the change.
    I tried changing the Content Disposition to Inline and then back to Attachment, and the file keeps opening in the same window unless I start a new session.
    Is there any explanation why it is working that way?
    Thanks!

    For the rare few, such as myself, who have some Office 2004 or older documents that fail to translate well in Office 2011, another option is to run Office 2004 in Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) installed in Parallels:

    I brought a new iMac after Lion is released. I notice that it has no the Lion formatting disk. Do I need to pay for that additionally?

    There are no disks. I would suggest a full backup, preferably a bootable clone. And, Lion should include the hidden (invisible) recovery partition which can be accessed by pressing Command + R while restarting in order to run a hard disk repair if necessary and/or to assist in downloading/installing a fresh copy of Lion if required.

  • After lion upgrade time capsule no longer backs up

    Time capsule no longer will back up after lion upgrade is anyone else having this problem?

    The Time Machine application is part of the Lion operating system, so you will likely get a faster and more informed response if you post in the Lion support area for Time Machine. There are a number of posts there with issues similar to yours.
    Mac OS X v10.7 Lion
    Click on the Refine This List button under the Lion and then click on Time Machine to get to the support area.

  • Time Machine lost all backups after Lion upgrade

    After Lion upgrade TM asked me to perform a 13 hours backup; I've agreed but now the oldest backup is 3 days ago. What is happened?
    Please can somebody help me?
    Thanks

    I can't help here, but before I upgraded my old G5 (OS 10.5.8) TM popped up a message saying that old files had just been deleted. That was what TM does when its HD is getting full. But this was strange because I knew that I had lots of TM space, and since the last use of the conputer (about 2 hours before) I certainly had not saved to the internal HD several GB of files. To my astonishment, all but the last 4 weeks of files had been deleted, back to Jan 2010! GetInfo said that the space left was about the same as before the incident, whereas it should have shown a huge amount of free space.
    I deleted all the remaining backup files and started again. It shook my confidence in TM's ability ot provide a reliable backup system. Now I regard it as a useful source of recovering old versions of files (eg., text, images etc.), rather than as a means to restore the system hard drive. Fortunately, I have been using Carbon Copy Cloner for years to make bootable backups of the whole system HD which can then be used, by simply cloning back to the system HD, to get back to work using the state of the HD when I last cloned. Alternately, the clone on the backup disc can be simply examined in the Finder to recover individual files.

  • I DVD Soft Frame template issue after Lion upgrade.

    Hello, I've just updated my os to Lion but the Soft Frame template in iDVD, (7.1.2) is no longer working correctly. The light coloured background which covers the right hand side of the frame is missing and has been replaced with black. This issue effects sub menus as well. Existiting and new projects using Soft Frame suffer from this problem... Any ideas would be gratefully received! I have tried re installing iDVD but this had no effect.

    OK I fixed it, sort of. The .tif file which provides the background image had disappeared. Even deleting IDVD and its themes and re-installing didn't work. So here's what I did:
    1) Make a new background. This can be any graduated colour field which you can make on any paint programme such as GIMP. However I grabbed the background from the `Forever' theme which is beige and adjusted the hue to turn it from brown to the blue which was close to the old 'Soft Frame' backing.
    Here's how to find the 'Forever' background:
    Go to your hard disk and look for Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Forever-Main.theme
    CTRL click on it and select `Show Package Contents'
    Expand the contents folder and then the resources folder and look for the .tif file marked Forever-Background.tif
    Drag this into your photo editing programme and change the colour to what you want.
    Save the new file as tpt.tif on your desktop (there is a reason for this filename)
    2) Replace the defective backgounds in the `Soft Frame' themes
    Go to your hard disk and look for Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Softframe-Chapters.theme
    CTRL click on it and select `Show Package Contents'
    Expand the contents folder then the resources folder and look for the file marked tpt.tif and delete it
    Drag the tpt.tif file you saved to your desktop into the Resources folder
    Now do the same thing in Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Softframe-Extras.theme
    And do the same thing in Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Softframe-Main.theme
    Next time you launch iDVD it will pick up the new backgrounds.
    It took me about 10 minutes.
    Now I've found where the backgrounds are stored (if you select Project...project info in the iDVD menu the media pane lists the full path) I realise it is easy to put your own backgrounds into any of the existing projects.
    I hope this helps.

  • TS3938 after lion upgrade, i need to upgrade to Office 2011 or iWork (Pages)..my desktop is from 2007. which should i try?

    after lion upgrade, i need to upgrade to Office 2011 or iWork (Pages)..my desktop is from 2007. which should i try?

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

  • IMac freezes after lion upgrade

    Upgraded imac from SL to lion, and now the computer freezes when waking from sleep or switching accounts. I have no issues during the process of using the computer. I have installed new RAM (4gigs), reinstalled the OS, erased the HD (securely) and rebuilt from back-up, pram, disk utilities, disk warrior. Read in one post that this may be the logic board and that Apple may be replacing these in certain modles. I never had the computer freeze when I was running SL, and I am a school IT guy with over 100 macs running SL and this does not happen at school. I have heard from others of the same thing once they go to Lion but the Apple Store says they have not heard of it!  Do not see how this could be a hardware thing since it looks to happen after Lion upgrade.
    Any ideas

    I did do the above as I read that may work too, I also made it so the HD never sleeps.  Did not help for me, computer still freezes when switching accounts, not all the time, on average every other day I need to do a hard restart.
    Still looking for the answer

  • After Lion upgrade, MacBookPro has trouble wake from sleep.

    After Lion upgrade, my Macbook Pro now sometimes will not wake from sleep.  If I close the lid the pulsating light pulsates. Open the lid and the pulsating light goes out and the keyboard backlight activate, screen blank and no keyboard response.

    I've been looking for answers, since upgrading to lion, my problem is more of a nusance, when I close the lid on my macbook pro (15" 2.66 i7, 8GB RAM) and it goes into sleep mode, when I reopen the screen the screen backlight comes up momentarily, then goes black (screen image there, just no backlighting) nothing gets it to come out (reclose/open, clicking trackpad, any keys, etc.) except the F1 key.  Pushing the F1 "wakes" the backlighting, then I just hit the F2 to brighten it back up, I don't have any further issues until I close it again.  Granted not that big of a deal given all the issues everyone else is having with this, but still a nusance I would like to fix.  Don't know if this will work for you, but it's been working for me.
    I have the same problem with my MBP 17"
    Would have been nice if Apple had taken the time to respond.

  • Preview issue. Send to iPhoto option is grayed out after Lion upgrade

    Preview issue. Send to iPhoto option is greyed out after Lion upgrade.
    In Snow Leopard it was an option to send pics from Preview to iPhoto, but now it is greyed out if I right-click on the pic. I have searced and tried everything, but I cannot fix it, so does anyone have a fix for it? Please :-)

    I can offer no help but would also like to see this issue resolved.  Firstly, it would be useful to know if this problem is seen by everyone.  When viewing photos in Preview, with thumbnails in the sidebar, right-clicking on any of the thumbnails results in this:
    Prior to the upgrade to Lion, "Send to iPhoto" was not greyed out and worked as expected.

  • Safari Crashes on Opening after Lion upgrade!

    I just upgraded to Lion, and I try to open Safari, but it crashes before it loads my homepage!
    I had recently set my default browser to Chrome in Snow Leopard the other day pre-upgrade, could that have something to do with it?

    I'm using SL and found the perfect solution. 1) Follow oh_okay 's instructions, 2) download and reinstall Lastpass, 3) Restart Safari 5.1 and all should work fine. With this lastest update to Safari Lastpass functions a bit differently, having it's own tool bar with the option to hide. You have to click on the grey star, which stays grey, when logged in. There may be a tweek for that, which I haven't gotten to yet.

    I've actually just found a solution.
    As it turns out, LastPass was causing my crashes, too.
    I had to find my SIMBL folder (~Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/LastPass.bundle) and remove the LastPass plugin.
    After that, all was well. Not sure if I need to reinstall LastPass now or just pay for (what I've heard is the far superior) 1Password.
