My email import hangs...

somewhere in the last month or so, something changed on my mac.. maybe it was an update from apple, i dunno. but now every time i start Mac Mail, it hangs... it says it has to import my mail messages... 22,000 or so of them, though i find it a bit hard to believe there are THAT many.. but after about 400 msgs, it just hangs and the "time to complete" counter goes higher and higher (last time i force quit the app when i saw that the projected import time was 96 hours and still rising, while the count of msgs imported had not budged...
very frustrating. not sure where to go from here.
anyone have this problem? thoughts on how to fix it?
thanks

let it run over night and it completed.

My mail on iMac is not working properly. Click on email, it hangs, showing previous email. Takes forever to load. "No message selected" showing in a blank screen

My mail is not working properly: when I click on an email it hangs, frequently showing the previous email, often for up to a minute. Or it shows "loading" and just sits there showing nothing. OR there is a blank screen saying "no message selected". It's slow to load, and I'm not happy. Recently switched from Windows PC, not impressed so far. Very frustrating.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received. (I upgraded to Mountain LIon, and don't think I had problems before I did so, though I hadn't had the computer for long.)

Hi Sarah,
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

Import hangs when "Do not import duplicates" is selected

I am using iPhoto 6 with a Canon XTi camera. I import pictures directly from the camera via a USB connection. I prefer not to erase photos from the camera's CF card until I need space, as one more way to back up pictures, so when I do an import, I want to select "Do not import duplicates" and to check "apply to all duplicates" to avoid importing the same pictures over and over.
Lately, however, If I select these two options when the first duplicate appears,, the import hangs and nothing happens. After a while I cancel the import and start it again, choosing to import all duplicates. This makes the import work.
Any idea why the import would hang when I choose Do not import duplicates?
Thanks.

This feature is not great in v6 of iPhoto. It will perform better if you first move the files to a folder on the desktop and then import. You can use Image Capture to move the files.
As to your specific query: try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)

Emails imported from windows, must delete going back several years, but I think I have deleted them only to find that they pop up again. How do I delete totally the unwanted emails.

New imac, emails imported from Windows. Emails to delete goiing back to 2008 but no matter what I do to delete them, they are still there. How do I get rid of the ones that are no longer wanted.

Assuming you are using Mail, delete them in mail and then empty the Mail's trash. Also check Mail - Preference - Accounts - Mailbox Behaviors - Trash setting

Lightroom 5.7 import hangs up

I have Lightroom 5.7 running on a PC, 8.1 Windows op system. Lightroom 5 opens and I can get to the library but when I try and import more pictures for a new collection, it hangs up and I get a message: "Adobe Photoshop Lightoom 64 has stopped working. A problem caused teh program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I never hear back (of course) from Windows or Microsoft. Would it help to eliminate all the other collections I have on Lightroom? It seems to be happening more and more that Import hangs up and won't operate. It is longer than just the pause while it looks for sources on my several external drives. Thank you!

Possibility #1: http://members.lightroomqueen.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1137/188/how-do-i- change-my-monitor-profile-to-check-whether-its-corrupted
Possibility #2: you need to delete your preview cache, this is a folder whose name end with Previews.LRDATA. Do not delete the .LRCAT file in the same folder.

Full database import hangs

System:
Windows 2000 SP4
Oracle 8.1.7
Hi,
I am importing a full backup ( export dump file ). It was taken from the
database having the same structure as the database to which I am importing.
It is taking too long in importing data in a particular table and seems to hang
for hours. It says 40542226 rows imported. It seems to hang from here.
I checked the v$session to identify the session serving the import and
v$session_wait to verify the wait events for that session. But I don't see
any wait events for this session. What I see is the session itself.
I did the import using:
imp username/password@sid file'D:\data\fullbkp.dmp' log=D:\log\fullbkpimp.log' full=y
My question is: what are other diagnosis I should perform to help find out the cause and
possibly the solution of this import hang?

Hi,
In addition, when I want to see what's is going on, I usually execute the SQL below in order to monitory the import operation activity...
select substr(sql_text,instr(sql_text,'INTO "'),30) table_name,
rows_processed,
round((sysdate-to_date(first_load_time,'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'))*24*60,1) minutes,
trunc(rows_processed/((sysdate-to_date(first_load_time,'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'))*24*60)) rows_per_min
from sys.v_$sqlarea
where sql_text like 'INSERT %INTO "%' and
command_type = 2 and open_versions > 0; Cheers

Email import adding linebreaks

My email messages have the following header line:
> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
The "format=flowed" modifier of the Content-Type gives specific
instructions on how to deal with linebreaks in the message, as specified
in RFC3676: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3676.txt
Could you please fix the email import to follow these rules? (I wouldn't
mind if you followed the 10 year old version of those rules from RFC
2676, but some people might object that that doesn't guarantee long URLs
don't get wrapped.)

Oracle portal import hangs - no errors

I was trying to Import a newly developed page group into production environment from development environment.
Running Script to Create an Export Dump File - no errors from portal or on
backend.
Running Script on Target System - No errors.
Running imported transport set through The Import Manager on target - doesn't
complete. Doesn't show any errors. It runs repeatedly and doesn't import any
objects.
Please note the same transportset imported on Testing without any errors.
### Steps to Reproduce Problem ###
I created a Test page group in development. Exported and ranthe generated script in export mode on the server. Moved the files to target and ran the script in
import mode. Ran the imported transport set through The Import Manager on
target system.
No errors at any stage and it doesn't import and it hangs there.

Hero,
The import log file indicates that import fails for trigger WWSBR_THAT_BRIUD_TRG while merging of items. This is a known issue.
Please look at bug 3228369.
This is due to a data corruption issue on SOURCE instance wherein there are pending entries in thingattributes table for
non-existing subtypeattributes.
Mentioned below are the steps that needs to be carried out:
i) Run the data cleanup script for 9023 (released via bug 3121103) in REPORT mode on source instance.
ii) The output file Data_Validation.txt will indicate whether there are any data corruptions.
iii) If any corruptions are identified then take a database backup, shutdown 902 Midtier and run the cleanup script in RUN mode on
source instance to get rid of such corruptions.
Then
iv) Export the pagegroups from source instance once again.
v) Remove the unsuccessully imported pagegroups from target instance using force_delete script.
vi) And import the new transport sets.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Pallav

[SOLVED] SSH, email - connection 'hangs'

Hello,
I have a problem with connections at work - it happens only at work, I tried on Arch and also Debian.
I haven't noticed it to affect 'web browsing' - it affects for sure ssh (incl. git) and sending email mesages.
What happens:
About 3/4 of times I try to send an email (google account from thunderbird), or log in to one of our servers with ssh (or pull/push some code from/to github) the connection 'hangs' and nothing happens. If I try ^C and 'redo' few times I finally manage to log in.
Log from ssh (unsuccessfull connection):
ssh bb5 -vvvv
OpenSSH_5.9p1, OpenSSL 1.0.0g 18 Jan 2012

My /etc/ssh/ssh_config on Arch is default (everything commented out)
~/.ssh/config has only few Host, User, entries
On Debian:
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
Host *
SendEnv LANG LC_*
HashKnownHosts yes
GSSAPIAuthentication yes
GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no
Trying to ssh to server's IP doesn't change anything.
Any ideas how could I track where lies the problem? Or maybe I could at least make it 'retry' automatically?
Edit:
After setting timeout in ssh_config I get
Connection timed out during banner exchange
at the end of unsuccessfull connection.

I've set it already in ssh_config file (see my edit). Is there any way to make ssh 'retry' few times because now it gives up after first failure.
I've set ConnectionAttempts 5 but i'm not sure if it works - I'll have to give it another try on tuesday.
mr.MikyMaus wrote:Can it be that your employer does not like encrypted traffic in his network? I could imagine an IPS system trying to decipher the connection... Try moving the server-side ssl service to a non-standard port if you can...
It is possible - however I don't know exactly how is the network 'distributed'. Maybe I'll try to change it at least at one server and give it a try.
Anyway - what about emails for example - this uses port 25 (smtp on gmail) and is experiencing the same problems (message sending lasts until timeout 8 out of 10 times).
I don't know too much about networks - maybe there is some kind of service which doesn't work properly in my network at the office. Any clues what could it be?
Most important for me is to make 'git pull' work - because it's executed automatically on those Debian boxes and if it fails they are not updated.
So solution like 'make it retry 10 times per 5 seconds' will do the job for 90% cases I think.

Import hangs for (very) large file

Hi All,
where importing a file that is converted to a single data column in the beffileimport script.
So i have a flatfile with 250.000 rows but 4 data columns and i convert it to a file with 1.000.000 rows and 1 data column.
In the inbox i can see this process takes about 12 minutes. Which is long but not a problem for us.
After that the FDM web client (11.1.1.3) keeps showing processing, please wait... (even after a day).
We saw that there was no activitiy on the server so closed the web client, logged on againg and the import action was succesfull..
So for some reason because the import step takes so long it doesn't show a success message but keeps hanging.
Any suggestions how to solve this?
thanks in advance,
Marc

The only thing that I would be aware of that would cause this is inserting a timeout Registry key on the workstation as noted in the following microsoft KB. If you have this in place, remove it and reboot and then test the import again.

IMovie 09 import hangs

24" iMac 2.66 intel Core 2 Duo 4GB RAM
I've seen a few archived posts on this with no apparent solution. iMovie 09 is hanging (spinning wheel) during import from a Canon Vixia. It will import a few clips at a time just fine, but if importing more than about 4 clip it will hang.
It's like it stopped talking to the camera. Say I choose 10 clips to import... and say it imports 4... it successfully imports the 4th file, but it doesn't negotiate with the camera to start the 5th (I can tell because the data light on the camera doesn't blink like it normally does between clips).
The workaround I've noticed (annoying) is to import 3 or 4 clips, restart iMovie, import 4 more clips... etc, etc.
Any help for this?

You need an Intel Mac to import AVCHD clips. Are these SD clips?
AppleMan1958: The camera "theanimaster" is referring to is a Standard Definition MPEG2 device.
theanimaster: It seems you already have your answer - just use your MacBook. But if you must use your iMac G5, how about _MPEG Streamclip_ to perform the Camera import & iMovie for the Editing of those clips.

ITunes import hangs

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and I've slowly been importing my CD collection. Most CDs have imported with no issue... except for 3 out of about 200 (so far at least).
These albums hang during import... always on the last track... and always with a few seconds remaining. The CD drive keeps stopping and then loudly ramping up. I have to force quit iTunes and push the eject button on the keyboard.
No matter how many times I try these tracks will not import. The tracks play fine from the CD.
Anybody have the same issue or know of a fix?

Anybody? I had my Macbook at the Apple store for a different reason and I mentioned it to the Genius Bar guy and he replaced the drive, but it's still doing it on occasion.
I'm guessing it's not a hardware issue... perhaps a setting? Any ideas?
