My E-mail won't stop updating itself?

Hi, as I said above the E-mail hasn't been able to stop updating itself and it's depleting my battery quicker than usual. I've tried turning off the push option and turned the iPhone off and on several times. It still does the updating on its own. Is this just a bug or is there a problem? Would also appriciate some tips or advise. Thanks in advance.

Change your Fetch schedule to a longer period (Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Fetch New Data).

Mail won't stop checking some accounts

Anyone have this happen before? Mail won't stop checking a couple accounts I have. They are accounts we use every single day, run off our own server. They will check fine on other macs, but not this iMac starting a few hours ago. I have rebuilt the boxes, deleted all mail from the servers and updated to 10.5.4 just in case. Still the same thing.
I have to force quit, then once restarted it will grab new e-mails before it craps out and just sits there spinning on accounts again.
Ideas? Thx.

I'm experiencing the same issue with one of my POP accounts as well.
I've tried the "Rebuild" command in the Mailbox menu as well as rebuilding the Apple Mail Envelope Index, but it's still attempting to sync.
Has anyone found a resolution to this issue?

My iPad won't stop restarting itself since it died and i plugged it in, what's wrong with it?

My iPad died and i plugged it in and now it won't stop restarting itself, it goes apple logo, loading, shut off and then it repeats itself. I thought that maybe the iPad got just enough power to start restarting but then died midway through and that just kept continuously happening.

Try a reset: Hold down the power and Home buttons together until the Apple logo is displayed, then release. No data or settings are lost.

E-mail accts have stopped updating

As of lastTuesday (09/25) e-mail accts have stopped updating and have a continous "updating" comment

Hi Jim,
Start with checking the services to see if tyhe SBO mailer is running. If yes check the definition of the alerts so that they are still defined to send email. ALso chech the outbox in B1 to see if there are mails not sent.
Further, check with your IT guys that the name or IP of the SMTP server has not changed.
I hope it helps,
Jesper

Maybe the following but your descrption of your problem is not clear.:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

E-Mail won't STOP Notifying / Programs won't Update

I've attempted to turn off e-mail notifications and it doesn't care, it'll notify me anyways. I will turn off notifications and set the e-mail sync frequency to never, and somehow it STILL manages to annoy the **bleep** out of me by telling me I have e-mail!
For my updates, ever single day that I wake up, I've noticed that Gmail, Pandora Radio, Bump, Twitter, and Skype Mobile are trying to download some sort of new update. Every. Day. Why will they not finish?

Change your Fetch schedule to a longer period (Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Fetch New Data).

Computer won't stop updating - cannot access start screen

When powering down the other night the system began an automatic update. It reached 100% and then sat there doing its thing with a note to not turn the computer off. The next day I found that the computer had shut itself off and when I tried to start it it again gave the message that it was updating and to not turn the computer off. I sat there for 2 hours watching the little balls going 'round and occasionally touching the screen to keep it from turning itself off.
Does anyone know how I stop this and get to my start screen?

Mail - Won't stop recovering messages!

A couple days ago, I was trying to email some .zip files (they were photos that I put in a .zip) to my friend. However, they were too big so it didn't send. So I ended up just not emailing them at all and quit out of Mail.
Now, whenever I open Mail, there's a new folder called "ON MY MAC" and under it is "Recovered Messages." The messages under the "Recovered Messages" folder is all the emails that I tried to send to my friend a few days ago. I tried deleting these messages from the folder, but they keep coming back! Mail keeps recovering these messages, but I don't need them anymore. I just want to delete them. How do I stop it from automatically recovering these unnecessary messages?
Also, the spinning circle next to my inboxes won't stop spinning. Which I think slows down Mail entirely... I tried going to Window > Activity and tried to stop the activity, but then it would just start up again. So now I usually just get frustrated with Mail lagging all the time and just quit out of it.

Mail has completely stopped updating RSS feeds

I have numerous RSS feeds subscribed to in Mail, and they have all stopped updating (for several days now).
Trying to manually tell them to update does nothing. Also, if I try and add new feeds, it doesn't even grab the articles in the new feeds.
Anyone know how to reset this?

Unfortunately I don't have a great answer for you.
Once I found the folder inside the root level Library/Syndication. Another time I found it inside Users/Library/Syndication. When I had the problem, I trashed this folder, then relaunched Mail.
I still have the problem once in a while, and either Syndication folder has not been re-created. When it happens, I quit and relaunch Mail, and it seems to clear it up.
It's really a pain in the neck. I don't know what's causing it. I don't know what else to suggest if you've already trashed both/either Syndication folders and then quit and restarted Mail.

Mail RSS Feeds Stopped Updating

Hi there,
In the past week, I've noticed that my Mail RSS feeds have stopped updating and I'm also unable to open/subscribe to new RSS feeds.
When I try to click on a new RSS feed in Safari, I get the following error message:
Safari can’t open the page “feed://www.vanilladays.com/feed/”. The error was: “Operation could not be completed. (Mach error 268435460 - (ipc/send) timed out)” (NSMachErrorDomain:268435460) Please choose Report Bugs to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
In parallel to this, I've noticed that Safari is is also taking around 5 minutes to load (the is normal once loaded). I've got a separate topic about this.
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? I was having these problems before I updated OSX yesterday.
Thanks for any help,
Ste

i was able to find this on another website...
CXL: Safari fails to display RSS feeds when CPU is under load or free disk space on system drive is small. That pretty much sums it up. It's annoying, too, because if Time Machine is doing its hourly backup or I'm converting video files, Safari's RSS display repeatedly fails with the same error message: "Mach errore 268451843 - (ipc/rcv) timed out" or "NSMachErrorDomain:268451843". Under the same conditions, Safari fetches and displays normal webpages perfectly fine. Filed: 5610533.
but this doesn't make sense, I have about 4.5 GB free on my startup drive....
i also found this apple thread which is about the same issue, but also has no resolution..

if anyone figures anything out please help! thank you!

When opening Mail, sending mail won't stop searching?

When I open mail App. On my MBP, running Lion mail loads all my accounts fine, but sending mail doesn't stop searching for sbcglobal.net account. Therefor can't send any mail from any accounts.

Maintenance you do before you need it! I do it at least once a month, sometimes more often. The free application Onyx is a great application for this.
It could also be that you don't have enough working RAM. Pages can have problem with memory use when the documents are large in Mb.

Mail won't stop trying to send!

I tried to send a short video and I guess it was not a valid format for mail to send in or it was to big? But now everytime I open up mail it automatically tries to send and send (volleyball spinning) until it stops and abruptly quits the whole program. Of course while the spinning is going on I can't get into the drafts folder, where I believe the vid is, to delete it. I can't move the coursor, can't get into preferences, or into any other app at all untill the spinning stops and the app quits by itself. Because of this I can't use mail so I got so frustrated that I eventually just deleted the whole app and told myself I would just reinstall it. Instead of reinstalling the whole OS I used a shareware program called Pacifist which lets you install specific apps from the DVD. I finally installed mail again and once again to my demise it open up and immediately started to try to send or got caught up on this "bad file" froze and finally quits like always. I've done disc repair, I've gone to my mailboxes on the web and tried to delete this file or whatever it is and it's not on my web mail. Webmail works fine but everytime I open up mail it does the same thing. Basically i can't use it. Is there a way to have mail stop trying to send/recieve/read files so I can delete whatever is keeping the Volleyball spinning or I'll just be fine deleting all of my e-mail and starting all over again with a bare bones mail app? Please help!

Any message that isn't successfully sent remains in the Outbox mailbox and this is why the Mail.app continues to try to send it when re-launched.
With the Mail.app quit and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes > Outbox.mbox.
The Outbox.mbox represents "Out" in the mailboxes drawer and is shared by all accounts.
Delete the Outbox.mbox and empty the Trash. This will delete the problem message.
Launch Mail and a new Outbox.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the Mailboxes folder and this should resolve the problem.
Since you re-installed the Mail.app from your Panther install discs using Pacifist and unless your Panther install discs include 10.3.9, you need to download the 10.3.9 Combo Update and re-install 10.3.9 to get the Mail.app to the current version as of 10.3.9 if your OS version details are accurate.
What was or is the size of this video attachment?
All email attachments must be encoded before the message is sent which increases the size of the pre-encoded file. The Mail.app uses MIME 1.0 for attachment encoding which is the internet standard. As a general rule, MIME encoded binary file attachments are approximately 150% of the size of the original pre-encoded file. If the pre-encoded size of this video file was/is 5 MB, the encoded size will be roughly 7.5 MB or even larger.

IPhoto won't stop updating. It won't let me look at my pictures....

I even re-purchased the program about a month ago hoping it would help, but it hasn't. It just said"Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." Then it updates until it stops responding. Any ideas out there?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Mail won't stop downloading messages... and won't quit either...

It just started a few days ago. It has been working just fine, even after I upgraded to Tiger (which was several months ago, finally). Over the last few days, when I launch Mail.app, it downloads all the same messages that have been on the server since Friday and won't ever complete the download. It just spins and spins. SO, the messages are never officially retrieved and removed from my POP server (which is a setting I have turned on). If I force quit the app. Or even quit the process (which doesn't usually have any effect), I then relaunch Mail.app and it re-downloads all the messages. Now I have about 5 copies of all these messages. And I can't seem to just quit the app.
I read a post that involved trashing the inbox and reimporting it back in. I'm not sure if that is the approach here. OR, if I can infact, just delete a particular cache file or temp file, or something that might get the Mail.app un-stuck.
Any thoughts? Let me know if you need any more specifics.
Thanks!

Mail 1.x used MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded to keep track of which messages had already been downloaded from the server. Mail 2.x uses MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 for the same purpose. It could be that there is something wrong with that file, or with your Inbox, but it could also be that Mail is choking on some troublesome message on the server. Let's try this first:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/.
3. Move the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded files to the Trash.
4. Move INBOX.mbox to the Desktop (don't trash it), to be imported later.
As a result or removing the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded files, Mail will try to download everythng still on the server as if new. You can use the Account Info window first to remove from the server any messages you don't want to be downloaded again. In order to do that, choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailboxes list in the main Mail window -- type "Account Info" in the search field of Mail Help for more information on this feature.
