More and more mail problems

What a disaster. I've written about my mail problems before with mail before and I know what I managed to do this time is my fault, its something "I" don't understand about mail. But man am I screwed.
I use my imac 98% of the time and I get 100% of my email on it (mobileme, concast, gmail). All works fine.
A week ago I have an emergency appendix surgery and am doing rather poorly so I'm in bed on my macbook air. I need to get my email on that computer. I enable the email accounts so I can get all my "new" mail. Ugh, it starts syncing and bingo 2 weeks worth of mail on my imac is gone. No where to be found. Tons of work mail, important mail, lordy this is a mess.
I know it had something to do with syncing.. the only account that is imap is my mobileme but I lost a ton of mail in that and its not on either computer or on the mobile me page either. It's just gone. And so is the gmail on the imac and again that isn't imap its a pop account and it was mail that was not in my inbox, I had received it weeks ago and put it in other mail boxes I created (like the work folder). And it just is all gone.
IF anyone can shed some light on what I did and how to avoid this, I'd love that. Should I have just gone to the websites to check the mail (gmail site, comcast.net, mobileme site?)
I am really in trouble with this email thing I lost stuff that I can't recreate. What a huge huge mess.
thanks for any insight,
Susan

The issue....just resolved itself! I have not a clue how this happened...

Mail slowly eats more and more Real Memory until it's super sluggish

My Mail had been giving me lots of problems.
Basically it is fine when I open it and starts to become more and more slow and unresponsive the longer I have it open. I ultimately have to quit, and it always has to be a force quite because it just gets jammed.
I started looking at Activity Monitor and have noticed that when I first run it, it uses about 150 megs of Real Memory. (I have 4gigs). Over the course of 2 hours, the Real Memory used creeps upwards and upwards, until it's over a GIG. The performance just gets worse and worse. The MB Pro's fans start whizzing away.
Anyone know why this might be happening and what I can do to stop it?
Thanks so much
Scott

Found a post in another Forum which (so far) seems to have fixed my problem:
"I spent some time on the phone with Apple tech support today. They were very helpful and appeared to have solved the problem. They had me go to iSync in the applications directory, go the Preferences and then click on Reset Sync History. First they had me log out of MobileMe, but not sure that was important. I logged back in to MobileMe. I have now been using my Mac for an hour now with no recurrance of the safarisyncclient".
Here's hoping.

The system doesn’t recognize or capitalize the word (I) or the first word of every sentence. Another really annoying thing about the integrated mail on your Mac computers is the fact that the system learns the word as you type it more and more instead of highlighting it as incorrectly is this is a word that’s being misspelled. Can Apple fix this bug to make it user friendly as if you were using Office or a Word Document?

You hit the target CT.
It’s only fair that if Apple is going to integrate Mail into Mac PCs, it would be nice if the system does it for you like Office or perhaps Outlook. I just don’t to use Outlook although I have it installed and ready to use, but instead use Mail which comes with Mac OS already.
I hope to make some sense here.

Did you try rebooting?

Why do i pay more and more money yet the service gets worse and worse -- all the way around.

First of all, someone need to repair this site, because now, for the last thee times I've tried to log in, I have gotten a message that my password and user name aren't matching or some such nonesense. Mind you, I have it written down, and log in once a month to ipay the bill.
No more. They'll get it in the mail.
This is on verizon's end. At first I had no problems but for the life of me, I cannot log into my main account, which I only do to pay the bill.
THAT is going to stop.
Next, I want everyone to realize here that my cellphone is still on hold, and it's been a ONE HOUR, AND TEN MINUTES AND I ENDED THE CALL. This is inexcuseable. Unacceptable. I won't pay more money for that crap, quite frankly.
I'm sure now I've been routed to a black hole, because when I called in, I was -- AND THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS -- routed five tims, five times, five times back to the beginning cue. It is outrageous. There are customer service issues and I'll bet there are even laws against this tyupe of fraud. I call, I expect to punch in the correct info, which I do, then get routed to the proper place. Instead five times I got booted back to the cue.
Hey, if it were so easy as they claim this 'IN HOUSE AGENT" AND THIS LIVE CHAT -- WHICH I WAITED 15 MINUTES FOR SOMEONE NAMED ALEX WHO CUT ME OFF, IT MIGHT BE A WAY TO DO. BUT NOT WHEN THE WAIT IS JUST AS LONG, THE PERSON ON THE END IS JUST AS RUDE, THE SERVICE STINKS SO BAD, AND YOU BET I WANT TO TALK TO SOMEONE,...
MY VOD DOESN'T WORK.
WITH THE BILL I PAY FOR FIOS TV AND INTERNET, IT BETTER WORK. I KNOW THEY ARE ENGAGING IN THROTTLING -- THAT'S BAD ENOUGH. BUT VOD NOT WORKING? BAD, BUT NOT REACHING SOMMEONE ON THE PHONE? WORSE.
I FAIL TO SEE WHY ANYONE SHOUDL CONTINUE TO PAY MORE AND MORE MONEY AND GET THIS CRAP SERVICE, AND THAT'S WHAT IT IS LET'S NOT HEAR FRON ANY SYCOPHANTS.
BUT I SEE THEY TAKE MY MONEY EACH MONEY. THEY SURE TO TAKE IT.
WHAT GIVES WITHT HE WEBSITE AND ME CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHANGE MY PASSWORD? DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IT THE ISSUE WITH THAT? BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE AGGRAVATED, AND YOU SAY OK, LET'S SEE IF THIS WEBSITE HELP IS ANY GOOD -- HYOU WANT TO BLOODY WELL LOG IN WITHOUT HAVING TO CREATE ANOTHER PASSWORD.
THEN YOU WANT TO GET SONEONE HWO HELPS, NOT AN **bleep**, OBVIOUSL,Y VERIZON ISN'T [PAYING MUCH YOU CAN'T GET ANYONE TO WORK NIGHTS.
I WILL CALL BILLING TOMORROW. i WANT MY MONEY BACK FOR THIS MONTH'S PAYMENT.
THIS IS THE WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. AT LEAST BRIGHTHOSUE IS HERE I TAMPA.

What type of phone do you have? Is it a newer, 4G phone? Those phones are NOT available with one of the pre-paid plans.
Do you have a Family plan, or only an individual plan? Family plans are not an option on pre-paid plans. You would have to manage each line separately, keeping a pool of money available in each plan to be paid when the plan renews each month.
Several people have posted on these forums when they have forgotten to "fund" their pre-paid account and have lost their number and have to begin service again from scratch. There are also those on these forums who have forgotten the funds in their pre-paid account "expire" after a period of time and money in your account can be lost in this manner. Yes, there are upsides, but there ARE downsides to having a pre-paid account. You would have to balance the pros and cons to see which would be the best fit for you.
Of course, pre-paid is an option, one which everyone must make for themselves. Not everyone will be happy with a pre-paid, but if price is the deciding factor in your choice, it may be the correct choice in your case.

HT2500 Sometimes after I read an email and leave it in my Inbox, I then can't open it again. I can reply to it, but I can't open it again. This is happening more and more often.

I see you are on 10.6.8. There have been a few Mail problems of late, particularly I notice, since the last security update.
Suggest you run the Snow Leopard combo update Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (again) even if you have previously done it. Won't do any harm.
Then check software update and try again with mail. You should be on mail 4.6. (1085)

Optical drive on iMac at work, barely one year old, won't read CD's....disc utilities shows disc unavailable! Rarely used and out of warranty, what a rip off!! I have been on MACS since the 80's and things are getting more and more difficult

Optical drive on iMac at work, barely one year old, won't read CD's....disc utilities shows disc unavailable! Rarely used and out of warranty, what a rip off!! I have been on MACS since the 80's and things are getting more and more difficult to deal with. Why did it quit after barely being used? Any help from Apple?

It depends on what you mean by "barely one year old". If the iMac is only a couple of days out of warranty, Apple's been known to make exceptions and extend the warranty, though it's by no means guaranteed. If it's several days or more out of warranty, then Apple will fix it, if it's a hardware problem, but the repair won't be free. This is no different now then it would have been with a Mac purchased back in the 80s.
Why the drive failed, if indeed it has, is impossible to say. Could have been a static shock, a weak component that failed when power was applied, or a mechanical fault in one of the tiny parts used in optical drives and hard drives that finally broke.

Why are companies getting more and more difficult to contact via phone?

I recently had a problem with Fandango, then Roxio, and now Adobe and tried to call someone in the USA with no luck. I am tired of getting some guy in India (or anyone anywhere else) helping me with products I purchased from a US company with US dollars, to be used in the US! This crap to save money has GOT to end! Now, when I ask to be transferred to someone in the Us, they say they cannot do so. I hang up! Sirius radio is even worse regarding this by the way! I also tried emailing these idiots with no response. Does ANYONE know how to contact a US customer service rep? This country is going down the toilet, just like George Carlin said it would!
Thanks!

This is something that has been bothering me more and more as time moves forward.
The two biggest companies that I call for support, VMware and SonicWALL, have transitioned to this model. While it has been going on for a while, the time "wasted" waiting for call backs, not being able to move away from my desk for hours on end, and not being able to get a definitive time for the call backs is hampering my ability to do my job. I can't even start another support call with another vendor in fear of missing a call back.
Anyone else notice this trend with other vendors?

[SOLVED] Losing more and more space everyday

Hello,
During around 2 weeks I have a really strange problem: I'm loosing more and more free space everyday, and I can't figure what cause that.
The system is installed on a 12GB ext4 partition. My home is on it but as I move data to another partition something else tooks the free space; I used to have 4GB of data inside home, including all hidden folders, now it's only 1.5GB and the next big folder is the "windows" folder of wine.
What should I use to monitor if a file is increasing or all write operations of my applications?
Thanks.
Edit: my cache folder is empty and I removed the .thumbnails folder.

I have a iPad, 32g, and for no apparent reason, the screen goes black and whatever app I am using is closed on me. It seems to be happening more and more frequently, especially when loading apps, or trying to watch a YouTube video. I try to open safari or youtube again and it will often crash several times before it may or may not decide to load for me. It is extremely annoying and getting to the point where I can not use it

Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows:
Power the iPad off and on.
An iPad reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.
If no change after the last step, your iPad has a hardware problem.

Why is Safari failing to work on more and more websites?

From unresponsive form boxes, to failure to respond to search requests, to working with 1Password extension, the Apple browser has stopped being effective and unresponsive on more and more websites.
I switch to Firefox and all is well. What gives?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Phone growing more and more lethargic and sluggish

Over the last two weeks my 3G iPhone has grown more and more sluggish.
Simply opening any built-in app now takes forever.
Some apps are so slow to respond that they overlap each other when switch between them or if I get a call or a text message.
I removed most third party apps, cleared caches, restored software, etc, but I'm still finding the phone is creeping along.
Could this be a hardware issue?

I've now made a habit of rebooting once a day to ensure snappy performance.
If you have to do this, perhaps you should visit the apple store. Its not normal, its not supposed to help, and you are not supposed to have to do this. Given the number of people reporting sim not registered problems after a reboot i'd be a little leery of doing this dail
My phone takes a 5 count (1001, 1002, 1003...) to show anything on the settings screen after I select it from the main screen. Does this if I reboot the phone or not.

EMU 0202 USB ASIO more and more crackle until complete drop out after approx. 5 mins

Hi!
The subject already pretty much wraps up my issue. I have an EMU USB 0202 which I am using in ASIO mode. Indepedently of the software that is used to playback something (e.g. Fruity Loops, Ableton Live, or Virtual DJ), I get crackles in the sound after approx 5 minutes (give or take a minute). If I leave things running like this, the sound quality degrades more and more for approx another minute, up to complete silence.
Interesting fact: This can be fixed, by simply having the software "close/release" the device. E.g. by switching to Direct Sound and back to ASIO. Pretty much everyting, that causes the software to reinitialize the ASIO driver, will fix this - for the next 5 minutes.
I have probably already tried whatever piece of advice I could find. I have checked my system settings, incl. the stuff that one of the moderators listed here in the board (http://forums.creative.com/t5/Profes...USB-and-0202-U...).
I have used the DPL Latency checker tool. I don't see any sparks here. The only thing I noticed is, that as sound degrades, the latency slowly rises. But we are talking of "peaks" of 500µs when the sound starts to degrade.
I also used this PCI Latency Checker tool, but everything is set to either 0 or 64 - from what I've read, PCI latency could only be a problem if I were to see values like e.g. 128 or even max of 255.
I don't see any load peaks on the system either - neither disk activity or anything. Though the DAWs and the VSTs can cause some pretty heavy system load, the system is pretty much idle when playing songs back with VirtualDJ. And still as said before, after a few minutes things go from good, to bad, to worse, to silence. Searching though the net, it seems like everybody else is having some kind of general USB audio problem, where they have instant/permant crackling. I have not yet found anybody else with such a gradual decrease. The only person so far which also reports a similar issue is this:
http://forums.creative.com/t5/Profes...;jsessionid=6A...
But seems like he also did only get the standard "try this" - text block answer. As I said, I already tried all these.
So, what else can I do? This is really frustrating....
Any suggestions?
EDIT: It's too obvious (too me at least) that I forgot to mention: This happens independently of the buffer settings. I can go with 6ms or 50ms... problem is still the same. Also the "timing" of the problem is not affected by this.

Places you need to look are are your IDE bus and PCI bus.
Verify that the chipset drivers are up to date.
Also verify that your USB host is not sharing with any devices like WIFI or SATA controllers.
Have you sent a support ticket to E-MU support? You may want to for an issue like this.

Our Imac becomes more and more slow

Our Imac becomes more and more slow ("rainbow wheel" appearing most of the time. We suspect some kind of internet pollution. Dors anybody know where hidden big files could have been stored and should be deleted?
Thanks

There are lots of reasons why a computer might slow down but the most common are 1) too little RAM, 2) the hard drive is too full, and 3) a 'rogue' program is using lots of CPU cycles. The first step to dealing with this problem is not to try 'cleaning' the computer.
How much hard drive space is free on your computer? Programs need to create temporary files so the computer should have some empty space for them. You should keep something like 10%-15% free. There's a tool in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder called Activity Monitor. Drag it to your Dock so it hand, then reboot your computer and start Activity Monitor.
The activity Monitor will let you look at what your computer is doing and you'll want to keep your eye on two things: Click on the CPU tab and you can see all the programs your computer is running. In the list you can click on the CPU column to get the list sorted by CPU usage. This is useful because it lets you see if a program is using lots of CPU cycles. If you have an application that is consistently running at 50% or higher, that is probably not good. The second thing you want to watch is RAM. Click on the System Memory tab and you can see all the programs and how much RAM each one is using. But the really important information is next to the pie chart. You'll see VM, Page ins, Page outs, etc. The Page ins number is important - a high number is not good.
I suggested that you reboot your computer before you started the Activity Monitor. This will have reset Page Ins to 0. Now over the course of an hour, keep referring to the Page ins. If that number remains 0, you have plenty of RAM. The higher it gets, the more you need a Memory upgrade. When you restarted the computer also deleted all the temporary files, so take a look at the free space too. At this point you should see at least 10% free. If not, your drive might be too full.

I have an almost 3 yr old Mac Book Pro and have noticed the colorwheel pop up more and more to process anything applications I use or websites I browse. Do I need to add more RAM? Is it possible to add more RAM?

I have an almost 3 yr olf MacBook Pro and have noticed that my color wheel pops up more and more. I can't open a simple document sometimes w/o it popping up and spinning before it opens. Same goes for when I'm on the web browsing different sites. Can I do something to rectify this?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. What approximate values are shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.
