New computer = slow internet and email
A few months ago my Dell laptop motherboard died and since it was still on warranty Dell sent me a new laptop. I also use a wireless router. This computer has way more capacity and memory than my previous computer and so far so good. Except: When I try to delete emails in Outlook that come from a website, it takes FOREVER. It sits there and spins and sometimes I get the "not responding" message. I'm attaching some messages I occasionally get in Outlook. I also have that slow problem when I'm browsing web sites (Firefox). It's intermittent but especially toward the end of the day it slows down and sometimes just doesn't respond to anything. If I shut down my browser and restart immediately the problem goes away. Yes, my virus scan is working; I regularly clear my browser history and use a cleaner to remove useless files. I'm trying to give you pertinent information since I just am not technologically smart enough to even know where to look for the cause of this problem so please keep any responses as non-techie as possible. Can anyone help? It is so aggravating!! Thanks!!
Are these the settings you have set for Outlook? Do check each one.
Incoming Server: IMAP.comcast.net
Outgoing Server: SMTP.comcast.net
Incoming: IMAP
Incoming Port 993 with SSL ON
Outing going Port 465 with SSL ON
SERVER: This server requires Authentication must be checked
Do NOT check SPA ( Secure Password Aithentication)
have you you tried a different browser such as Internet Explorer to see if the issue is specific to Firefox?
Have you cleared your browser cache?

Very slow internet and email designated an "Apple" problem by my server
I have had my mac mini for about 15 months and recently it has become unbearably slow especially on the internet. I have DSL and only have one computer. Most of the time I am not able to send emails before it times out.
My provider, AT&T, yesterday did several tests and told me that their services are working fine as is my DSL box. The lights on the box also indicate that it is working fine. During yesterday's test with AT&T they had me go to another website to get the speed of my sending and receiving. Sending was 295.1 kbps and receiving was 373.1 kbps. The tech said this was extremely slow and was puzzled that it was so slow, but gave no help other than that the problem must lie with my mac. I don't know what to do. I am now using the local library's computer in hopes that someone will be able to give me more assistance.
As further information, last week when I first noticed problems I was having trouble shutting down the computer. It would take several times of initiating the shut down process before it would finally shut down. It appeared at that time that a program called "mirroragent" was my problem. It was causing the shut down to be terminated. However, I have been able to get very little information about mirroragent other than it is part of the idisk or .mac programs. I tried stopping all automization of idisk sychronization, but that failed to help.It sounds like you have plenty of free disc space.
The processes by root are important, there are many things that run in the background on the machine even before any user logs in.
You can sort the process list based on CPU usage, to see what is currently active and using up the most CPU power when the computer seems to be running slowly for no reason. Launch and quit an application and watch what happens to the CPU usage, does it go down to low usage when you have quit all other applications, or is something running pegging the CPU meter when you expect the machine to be idle?
Also, there is an internet/network activity panel that should indicate if there is any active upload/download activity on your computer that you might not be aware of.
ClamXav is a free file-scanning virus utility, not sure it can detect and stop an active virus running in your system, but you can scan previously downloaded files and documents to see if it finds anything, it's more of a preventative tool. I kind of doubt that is your problem though.

When I plug a LaCie external hard drive to work with Time Machine into my new Mac mini, [OS 10.9.1] it drastically effects the performance of the internet and email, turn off Time Machine, unplug the hard drive, internet and email go back to normal. Why?

BB 8703 OS4.5 internet and email stop, phone and sms still work
Just about every day, at seemingly random times, my internet and email quit working, with no warning. Everything looks fine, and the phone and sms still send and receive, but no internet or email. I first noticed no email past a point, say 10am that day, and then I tried intenet and it would not connect. But phone calls in and out and sms worked. So, I turned it off and back on, and I suddenly got all the queued up email, and the internet worked.
Any ideas? Seems the network loses my internet and email, but still maintains my phone connection.
SteveOK give those a try...it may also be that you have many apps running that are causing conflicts. Check this:
There are three types of potential memory on a BB: 1) Application Memory, 2) Device Memory, and 3) Media/SD Card Memory
Application Memory -- This is the most crucial; it is the protected (not user accessible), dedicated, and fixed (in size) space that is available as the destination for the installation of applications (plus some application storage, overhead and such). You cannot touch AppMemory. You cannot improve the maximum AppMemory that your BB has. It is what it is. Applications can only install here...there is no option.
Device Memory -- This is space on your BB that you can touch to store files, pictures, media, etc. Typically, it is not terribly large, but it is available to you.
SD/Media Card Memory -- This is what it says...your SD card, for you to store files, media, pictures, etc. It can be as large as your BB OS can support...see this KB:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB05461
On some devices/OS levels, Device Memory and Application Memory are combined into "File Free"...these are, IMO, a little harder to administer as you really can't see well just how much AppMemory you have. Nevertheless, here are some guidelines to use:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15345
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14320
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14213
Lastly, it is always important to properly close applications when you are done with them. Using the Back or the Red key will not do this -- those leave it to the app to decide what to do...and some will leave themselves resident in memory, consuming resources on your BB, slowing the overall performance. Rather, to close an app, press the BBKey and select "Close" or "Exit"...that will force the application to be closed, freeing up for your new use the resources it was consuming. Some apps will always remain running (typically -- BBMessenger, Browser, Homescreen, Phone, and Messages)...but, you should still close them properly - especially the Browser...if it is left on an active web page, it will not only consume extra resources but battery power as well.
Good luck!

My BBM, INTERNET AND EMAILS are DOWN !! HELP ME!
I have the Curve 8530 for Sprint, My BBM, Internet and Emails are down. My son must have pressed something, HELP ME ! Its probaby something simple. I removed the Batterey , and did the Advance Option, and Hosting Routing Table. If it sends an email to recieve it ....I havent recieved it. Nothing , Nada..
Hi there!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
1) Register HRT
Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then also check, inside of Manage Connections, that your Data Services are active and connected to your carrier data network (upper case GSM, GPRS, 1XEV, 3G, or whatever it normallly shows...plus, in some cases, the symbol in the same area).
Good luck and let us know!

How come I can't put music on my ipod? I already have a fair amount of music on my ipod but I have enough space for more. I am using a new computer with itunes and it is telling me if I wasnt to put the new music on my ipd i need to erase my ipod HELP!
Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:

I have a new computer at work and all my song are on the server-when I try to change the folder location under preferences to the server, it still won't show my songs in Itunes?? please help!
Howdy carpetjim,
When you change the folder location like that, it changes where new songs and media are stored. To actually load the library you need to do this:
Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
If you are using the Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
You should see one of the following screens:
Additional information
If you do not see one of the screens above, then you did not hold the correct key at the correct time. You may want to try again. Note that if you pinned iTunes to the Start menu programs, and open it that way, it may not work.

I just Synced My iPhone 6 which had close to 2000 photos to a new computer (windows PC) and synced with iTunes.Now all my previous photos have been deleted which were there on my phone. Please suggest a way to recover those Photos . Thanks
P.S -I have not taken any backup of those photos. So please suggest any software or any other method.If those photos were part of the camera roll, they were part of the backup as well and you can restore from the latest backup you made on the old computer. After that transfer the photos to the new PC, follow this article: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Then sync again to the new one, which will erase the phone again.
You can also try to copy the backup folder from the old computer to the new one and see if the old backups get recognized, check this article to find the location on your PC:
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
If the photos were not taken with the phone, your data is gone, photos you sync from iTunes to the phone are not included in the backup. -
[Solved]Computer slow down and freeze during data transfer syncing
Hello,
Everytime I make a data transfer, my computer slow down, and sometimes freeze during a few seconds, work for a fraction of seconds and freeze again. I don"t understand why.
As an example, here is a bench of files i transfered during a syncing with Grsync
It took about 12h to sync 64Gb.
I've read a lot of topics talking about this problem but nothing works. I tried to switch off the SWAP and setting the vm.dirty_ratio and vm.background_dirty_ratio but nothing works.
I'm making the trasfer between two Western Digital USB 2.0 external hard drive in NTFS.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance
Last edited by Neldar (2015-03-04 15:54:29)It seems it was beacause one of my external hard drive was about to die. I performed the same operation with 2 Western Digital external hard drive 1To USB3 and it works perfectly.

New computer, download premiere and there is no playback after importing files. Any ideas what's happening?
'JohnTSmith' Thanks for the links. I'll be sure to add more details for future requests!
The computer is an iMac late 2013
Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M 1024 MB
The video file was a .mov file from a Canon 7D. Essentially I downloaded Adobe Premiere CC 2014, downloaded the update because I tried to open up an older project and then imported one movie file.
Playback from all windows didn't work. But after I tried to change settings in the preferences as 'RoninEdits' suggested but I ended up just searching around and didn't change anything. I stepped away for a second to check on my cookies in the oven and when I came back press play and the video now works. Any idea what happen?
I'm not sure what happen but I'll continue monitoring this issue. I'll touch base if I run into the problem again.
Thanks for the help everyone. -
New computer save iPad and iPhone data?
Hi! I have had the same PC for over five years and am planning on getting a MacBook for college, but I'm worried about losing all my data. I'm not worried about music, but I do use my iPad extensively for notes and documents, on Pages for instance, and also for pictures. Is there a way to have those apps protected even if I sync my devices to a new computer? Please and thank you!
