Problems with sent/sending folder, not able to quit??

I am having issues with my Mail 3.6 application recently.
Basically, Mail works perfectly for a few minutes after being opened (it checks new mail, sends mail, etc). Then, after a few minutes, the "Sent" folder turns into "Sending" with that spinning icon that indicates it is sending an email, when I have not sent anything.
Once this begins, I cannot send or save emails, or get any new ones. Furthermore, I cannot even quit the Mail application, and have been having to use the "force quit" option. Today, however, I have not even been able to get it to force quit all of the time, and have been having to shut down the computer.
This is getting increasingly annoying because every time I want to check for or send mail, I have to force quit or restart my computer.
Furthermore, within the "Sent" folder (before it changes to "Sending" unexpectedly), two recent emails are mixed up-- while the "subject" and "to" fields of sent emails look okay, when I click on them, the actual contents of the emails aren't what I sent, they are emails from 1-2 years ago. These two problem emails have been marked as junk by Mail.
Sorry for the long post, but there are issues with my "sent" folder that are making email exasperating and I do not know what to do! Does anyone know what is wrong with my Mail?

I seem to be having a similar problem.
Mail wont quit, unless by forced quit, and
Mail keeps getting old mail and the spinning wheel keeps turning forever.
did you find an answer?

Problem with wlan sticks module, not able to write to disk any more

Hello everybody,
when I booted my PC today, a strange and some sort of severe problem occurred concerning my wlan stick(s) that I think, I'm not able to solve without your help. I searched for a solution but it didn't seem that somebody else has had a similar problem before.
Here is the description:
I have two wlan sticks (but I do not use both of them nor are they both plugged in at the same time), and both happen to malfunction since today. My "main" stick (used most of the time) is a BigTec Wireless 11N Adapter with a Realtek chipset. My second one (only used to solve problems with the other stick) is a Fritz! WLAN USB Stick (to be used with ndiswrapper).
After bootup, which makes no problems at all, my "main" wlan stick is not able to connect to the network. When I run wicd-curses (I use wicd as network manager), the virtual terminal freezes (when I use urxvt under openbox to run wicd-curses, only the window freezes). After one minute, a message appears that says something about a dbus problem but I am not able to read it because of the screen clears. Then I'm able to use the terminal again, but (and this is the very, very strange about this) when I run any program that tries to write on my disk it stucks, so I can't cancel it with ctrl-c nor can I kill the process. Wicd-curses, ifconfig or iwconfig also crash after entering the command and show the same behavior. At this point, my wlan stick does not show any sign of being plugged in (normally it blinks...).
My second stick makes the computer crash: After a few moments a stacktrace is shown (like when a kernel panic occurs), saying something about "stack being overrun". But I can't find the message in the log files so it is difficult to post it.
When I tried to figure out a solution, I saw in pacman.log, that yesterday udev and hwdetect were updated... But also downgrading all the packages that were updated yesterday did not solve the problem!
I'll post now the last lines of a few logs here (but nothing concerning the ndiswrapper stick, else it would be too disturbing), I hope they help you at helping me!

This seems to be a problem with r8712u on all 3.2.x and 3.3-rc kernels on all distros. I've had it for weeks on Gentoo, Arch, and several other distros.
If you are running a 3.2.x kernel, this is almost definitely the problem. All 3.1 kernels don't do this.
I posted a temporary work-around on the Arch bugzilla, and Larry Finger (kernel dev with wireless) is currently working on it (a patch).
In the meantime, If you compile your own kernels, you can get 3.2.x's to work normally- see my comment here for more details. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27996
Top of page doesn't say r8712u, but it's the same problem, and after the first 2-3 comments it deals with r8712u specifically.
There is also info on the Gentoo forum 3.2 kernel quirks thread, towards the bottom of Page 1: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-901702.html

Licensing problem with UCCX 7, agent not able to login at all

Hi there,
We have UCCX 7 server and CUCM 7.
Problem is that we the agents are not able to login and they are getting maximum license error although not all licenses are used.
We get the following errors when trying to login:
1. "Maximum number of licenses reached. Please notify your System Administrator".
2. When we click "Ok" for the error above, we get the following "A licensing error has occured. Please try again in five minutes. If the problem persists, please see your log file or System Administrator for details.".
I checked the licensing service and it is working fine.
The log for the licensing service is not indicating anything, it shows only the last time there was a failure in this service (this was 6 months ago after a restart). It was working fine until yesterday.
I tried to disable the "IPCC Extension" under the User Configuration in the CUCM and enable it again, but did not solve the problem and got the same error.
It is worth to mention that when I disabled the "IPCC Extension", before I enabled it again, I tried to login using CAD but I got the same exact error.
Any help will be really appreciate, thanks a lot.

Hi
Open a command prompt on your UCCX server (not client) and go to this directory:
C:\Program Files\Cisco\Desktop\bin
Then run:
showlicenseusage.exe
THis will show you the IP addresses that are currently consuming licenses. You can check these PCs to see if they are still logged in - if they are, that's your problem. If they aren't, then you may have a problem with the LRM service or something.
If it has logins listed that aren't really logged in, you might be able to restart the License and Resource Manager service from Control Center to resolve it temporarily.

Entourage problem with sent items folder

I have an "invisible" item in my sent items folder. I keep getting an error that says "The action could not be completed. An unknown error (4362) occurred."
How can I get rid of this invisible file?
I often have to force quit entourage because it seems like it locks up.
Thanks,

Hi Jeremy,
This article should answer your question.

Problem with "sent" mail folder-how do I trash the prefs in Apple Mail?

Since no one has answered my original request for assistance regarding my "Sent Mail" mailbox, I'll move the issue aside and approach it differently: How do I trash the prefs in Apple Mail without trashing my inbox and all the other mailboxes? Trashing the prefs works for most apps, but if I do that to Mail, I'm screwed. My real problem remains: I can no longer see or read the email in my "sent mail" box; I can see the info identifying the entry, but I can't read the contents of the email. It's all there in the Mail folder on my hard drive, but it doesn't show up in the Mail app.
So how can I trash the prefs for "Mail" without trashing my inbox?

Hello b:
I have only had to trash the Mail preference once, and I cannot remember what occurred (except that the application worked OK after that).
Before you trash the preference file, try rebuilding the mailbox(s).

TS3276 Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

Who else has a problem with parental controls enabled not being able to run Firefox on the Mac?

Who else has a problem with parental controls enabled not being able to run Firefox on the Mac? (Any solutions?) (BTW. Chrome doesn't work either)

Although FF4 is so nice I'm almost ready to ditch iGoogle!
Please fix what appears to be an RSS/iGoogle issue with FF4...
Gmail is fine, but titles dont show in most RSS feed gadgets and no stories, strangely, apart from this one:
http://www.google.com.au/ig/directory?hl=en&url=www.google.com/ig/modules/builtin_news_technology.xml
Which if you enter the last part of the url reports that
"<Content type="html">

Any ideas?

LR 4 RC2 ...vexing problem, 3 sessions with support and still not able to find? With all settings reset and running a test catalog a raw image when opened in develop will when imediately going back to library view show a significant color shift in red, orange and purple but only in images with significant content in those colors. at first the culprit appeared to be camera calibration default but not reproducable. The problem exists even when opening older images from months ago? Also if second screen running in loupe mode the image is not shifted.
Any ideas please
Dave

Jim01403, Geoff and others...I'm new here so I'll need a little time The thread is very interesting, populated by serious mature people, how refreshing! It clearly is part of what i'm experiencing and is answered answered here...thank you. My main problem is still the significant color shift between develope and library modules. I'll attach one from each so you and others can see. Unfortunately the library version is the bad one so printing is now very problematic...Note, this occurs in either single or with second monitor on the library version is displayed. I have reset virtually everything and wonder if a cache is not updating or color space is not matching? A symptom/detail worth noting, when switching to library mode, the correct image is displayed for about a second then it jumps to what you see in the examples. As if the library module starts to rendering from develope settings then jumps tback to the original inedited preview??
Maybe just go back to 3.6 and tread water till 4.1 is fixed?

Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file?

Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file? Itunes locks up when i attempt a sync as well as when I transfer my purchases from my phone to Itunes. I'm running Itunes 10.4.1 on iOS 4.3.5. All of this is running on an 8 year old hp pavillian laptop running XP Pro that is fully updated. Could my phone have a bug or a hardware problem. Are there any known problems with iOS 4.3.5? Pretty frustrating problem so I'm hoping that someone has heard of this and can offer some suggestions on a solution. Thanks a bunch.

Did you used to have service and now suddenly you don't?
This happened to me a few years back, and several other iPhone users in my neighborhood, and after a while on the phone with AT&T they figured out that a technician had recently adjusted the receiver/sender on the tower and it was slightly off. They sent them back up and I actually had a better signal after than I did before it went out.
I would call AT&T and explain the issue you are having and see if they can fix it.
If you never had service there then like wjosten said it's probably just a bad zone.
Hope you get it sussed out.

HT1695 My new iPad with Retina Display is not able to connect to the Wi-Fi of my new Time Capsule. It used to connect, but now it just spins and spins and never connects. I've tried rebooting everything many times.

My new iPad with Retina Display is not able to connect to the Wi-Fi of my new Time Capsule. It use to connect, but now it just spins and spins and never connects. I've tried rebooting everything many times.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect to my honda CRV

Don't know if you could consider this an Apple issue. I know you are probably frustrated, and I am not defending Apple here, just saying that the iPhone does not update to support individual automobiles, the automobile manufactures update to support the Bluetooth profiles.The iPhone has the latest Bluetooth stack and supports a number of things. Problems generally revolve around the manufacturer not supporting the lastest Bluetooth version and have to update their systems. Check with Honda, they are probably aware of this, and if you search the forum, you will find a number of posts regarding the CR-V.
