Safari gets hung-up sometimes.

Most often everything works just fine. Occassionally when I click on a link or a bookmark Safari will begin to load but gets hung-up (i.e. freezes in the URL viewer). I click 'stop loading' and then 'reload' and then the page downloads effortlessly. Any good reason for this? Only happens once or twice a day and doesn't seem to be any particular webpage.
Thank you.

Could be a bottleneck at the server: too many people accessing at the same time.
Could be your caches are getting full(er).
Sometimes deleting your History, after a few hours of surfing, can relieve the pressure.
To generally speed up Safari, try this:
The following usually works on both Tiger and Leopard:
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl.)
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070416000657464
Many, including me, have also followed the advice given by others here to add DNS codes to their Network Settings, with good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.

Safari gets "hung up"

Hello. I am running Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3) on an intel iMac ( OSX 10.4.10).
When loading webpages Safari seems to get "hung up" right before finishing loading the webpage. The bottom of the screen will show something like "41 of 42 items completed" It always seems to just hang there waiting for the last item to load. This also causes some webpages to just sit there and you have to reload them to get Safari moving along.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm having the same problem on my Macbook Pro. But I don't think it is limited to Safari. Seems to be everything program to access the internet will hang for 30-45 seconds including Firefox and Widgets. It doesn't happen on my PPC Mac Mini with same version of Safari. Only difference I can think of is that the mini is hardwired to the router and the MacBook is on WIFI. I don't think it is my service or WIFI router, because I am not having problems on my Dell laptop via WIFI. I've tried watching the Console during these seisures, but no messages appear. I'm going to try finding a cord long enough to connect into my MacBook to see if the problems go away. Any other ideas?

Since Maverick, safari gets hung up

I updated my late 2009 IMac with Maverick in late December. It continues to get hung up in Safari after 2-3 webpages. I have used Glims Unistall over and over again as suggested in numerous posts to no avail I continue to get a frozen page in Safari. I shut down, empty caches, reset Safari and nothing seems to work. Wondering if Apple is going to have a permanent fix for this problem. I don't think I am the only one. I've also gone through the step process(new user, safe mode and normal) and posted the results. (Continues to get hung up at all steps along with 4-5 pages (pop ups) opening in the background when in safe mode). If anyone has come across a fix, since it doesn't looks like Apple is(this is enough to consider going to PC...yuchhhh). I had to write this on my IPad....Safari stalls on first page now!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) on the advice of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

TS2296 Safari (Version 7.0.1 (9537.73.11)) gets hung with Yahoo

Frequently Safari (Version 7.0.1 (9537.73.11)) gets hung while trying to load a section of the Yahoo home page. It never recovers spontaniously. Using Quit from the File menu closes the window, but the icon in the dock shows that it is still running. Using Force Quit, the Safari icon in the dock returns to normal. Shut Down also hangs, and the only way to turn off the MacBook Pro is to hold down the start button.

TS1545 I have downloaded 10.5.8 combo several times and cannot get it to install because the disc won't mount or the installation gets hung up after restart. My current os is 10.5.1, and I am trying to upgrade to snow leopard. This is on a dual core macbo

I have downloaded 10.5.8 combo several times and cannot get it to install because the disc won't mount or the installation gets hung up after restart. My current os is 10.5.1, and I am trying to upgrade to snow leopard. This is on a dual core macbook pro.

You don't need to update to Leopard 10.5.8 unless you want to keep Leopard. Upgrading to Snow Leopard requires that your purchase the retail install disk.
The following covers Leopard:
Some general advice on updating:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious! In fact a second restart can be recommended.
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their websites for updates.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
[b]If you are updating Safari (or just have):[/b]
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
/Library/InputManagers
~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Before you try to configure the settings on your Router, first thing which you need to do is, Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
Connect the Modem to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port and then connect your computer to the Linksys router on the LAN Port 1. On your Computer click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok... Now in the Command Prompt window type "ipconfig" and hit enter and note down the "IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway" , Now again in the Command Prompt window type "ping default gateway IP" and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies, If yes then you can login to the setup page of the configure all the settings on it from scratch.

Lightroom (4.1 and now 4.2) getting hung up opening catalogs

Ever since I upgraded to 4.1, Lightroom has been often unable to get past opening up a catalog. I use Windows 7 64 bit and have 12 GB RAM and several TB of HDD space. While I never had the lag time issues others complained of until recently, getting Lightroom 4 to work well has been a horendous chore. I can start 4.1 in a reasonable amount of time while in safemode, but back in full Windows mode, with all appropriate drivers running, Lightroom will open a catalog and essentially get stuck. I have to resort to shutting down, restarting in safe node, starting up a catalog in LR, optimizing it, and try again when I return to normal window
I've figured that it was a driver using resources, and when I paused a process being run for my OKI printer, (a new network printer and the last one added before the software became constipated), and voila, the program is back to its reliable and fast starting self. Since I only use that printer rarely from this computer, I've decided to live with this work aroud. I use StartEd Pro to alter my startup and system processes, so its not that difficult to do. I hopedthat I've truly found the glitch., but no.
Using task manager and looking at the wait chain, i.e., what lightroom is waiting for and getting hung upon is SVCHOST.exe (RPCSS).
As before, safe mode allows me to open Lightroom properly and open the catalog. I also tried siagnostic startup and selective startup to no avail. I did get Lightroom to work briefly and was ableto update from 4.1 to 4.2, hoping that this would alleviate the problem - but of course, it hasn't.
Lightroom is critical to my whale and seal photo-id work and I need to get it up and running again. Please help!

Ian,
Thanks, I'll look into thagt. In the meantime I tried something a bit different. I started a new catalog as a test and it opened fine. I then imported one of my previous catalogs (a small one) and it imported fine, will all metadata intact, and opened fine as well.
I tried this again with my large catalog (26000+ images) and got an error message stating that the catalog hadn't been closed properly or was being used... UGH. I went back to safe mode and opened that catalog, optimized it, backed it up and will try again later, particulartly if I can't fix the SVCHost issue.
Right now, it's back to being a professor and grading student papers (alsmost as distrurbing sometimes as having to fiddle with Lightroom).

Classic getting hung-up

Also when I am writing a text message and I need infor from someplace else eg: the calandar or the internet and I go through the browser, I sae the text so I can come back to it, but when I do it gets hung-up and freezes. It sometimes takes 3 to 5 min and will unfreeze, other times it gives me the "failed to save message" error and i have to do it all again.
Thanks again

I'm having same problem
My beloved ipod classic was stolen last month. Just replaced it with a new (used) ipod 7th gen 160G. I'm on a MBP, latest version of Itunes (mistake). Music syncs fine. Some of the podcasts (my favorites) are not even showing up in the summary, so that I could attempt to sync them, but they are still there in itunes.
Any suggestions .. thank you!

URGENT: Spinning Beachball...several apps getting "hung up"?

I was doing some tidying up last week and removed 2 gig worth of uneeded files to backup. Since doing that, I have had several applications get hung up. It started with Mail not opening, then Safari will start to load the home page and just spin, now Help and System Prefs are doing it also. I ran Disk Utlity and TechTool and neither found anything. Help me, you're my only hope.

Hi Josh
Don't know if you've fixed this yet, but I have a similar problem. Seems to be with some Mac-native apps such as address book, mail and safari. I discovered that by logging off of your account then logging back on it cleared. I know it's not a fix, but it might help.

Menu gets hung up

In the attached file, for some reason, when the menus drop down, they frequently get hung up. (stay down, slow to move back up into the hidden position, etc.)
I really need to correct this as this will be the main website for our school district and I need it to look professional.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Ooops, i was looking at the end of the timeline, didn't know i could scroll left to see frame 1. I'm not sure exactly to as why the Mouse out event listener is slow on capturing a mouse out event. If you do a slow mouse out it works while doing it fast it cannot capture sometimes. I revised your code to use the ENTER_FRAME instead and do a check if the mouse goes beyond the Rect area a mouse out and it yields perfect results.
Replace frame 1 with this code instead:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.Regular;
import fl.transitions.easing.Elastic;
Menu_Cont.District_Rect.alpha = 0;
Menu_Cont.District_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, DistrictRollOver);
Menu_Cont.School_Board_Rect.alpha = 0;
Menu_Cont.School_Board_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, SchoolBoardRollOver);
Menu_Cont.Parents_Rect.alpha = 0;
Menu_Cont.Parents_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, ParentsRollOver);
function DistrictRollOver(event:MouseEvent):void
var DistrictMenuTween:Tween = new Tween(Menu_Cont.District_Menu, "y", Regular.easeOut, Menu_Cont.District_Menu.y, 45, .5, true);
Menu_Cont.District_Rect.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkDistrictRectIfRollOut);
function SchoolBoardRollOver(event:MouseEvent):void
var SchoolBoardMenuTween:Tween = new Tween(Menu_Cont.School_Board_Menu, "y", Regular.easeOut, Menu_Cont.School_Board_Menu.y, 45, .5, true);
Menu_Cont.School_Board_Rect.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkSchoolboardRectIfRollOut);
function ParentsRollOver(event:MouseEvent):void
var ParentsMenuTween:Tween = new Tween(Menu_Cont.Parents_Menu, "y", Regular.easeOut, Menu_Cont.Parents_Menu.y, 45, .5, true);
Menu_Cont.Parents_Rect.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkParentsIfRollOut);
function checkDistrictRectIfRollOut(oEvent:Event):void
   var mcRect:MovieClip = Menu_Cont.District_Rect;
   if(mcRect.mouseX > mcRect.width ||
   mcRect.mouseX < 0 ||
   mcRect.mouseY < 0 ||
   mcRect.mouseY > mcRect.height)
       mcRect.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkDistrictRectIfRollOut);
   MenuMouseOut(mcRect);
function checkSchoolboardRectIfRollOut(oEvent:Event):void
   var mcRect:MovieClip = Menu_Cont.School_Board_Rect;
   if(mcRect.mouseX > mcRect.width ||
   mcRect.mouseX < 0 ||
   mcRect.mouseY < 0 ||
   mcRect.mouseY > mcRect.height)
       mcRect.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkSchoolboardRectIfRollOut);
   MenuMouseOut(mcRect);
function checkParentsIfRollOut(oEvent:Event):void
   var mcRect:MovieClip = Menu_Cont.Parents_Rect;
   if(mcRect.mouseX > mcRect.width ||
   mcRect.mouseX < 0 ||
   mcRect.mouseY < 0 ||
   mcRect.mouseY > mcRect.height)
       mcRect.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkParentsIfRollOut);
   MenuMouseOut(mcRect);
function MenuMouseOut(mcRect:MovieClip):void
    var mcMenu:MovieClip;
    if(mcRect == Menu_Cont.District_Rect) mcMenu = Menu_Cont.District_Menu;
    else if(mcRect == Menu_Cont.School_Board_Rect) mcMenu = Menu_Cont.School_Board_Menu;
    else mcMenu = Menu_Cont.Parents_Menu;
    var cTween:Tween = new Tween(mcMenu, "y", Regular.easeOut, mcMenu.y, -62, .5, true);

TM Gets hung up while backing up

Hi.
My TM keeps getting hung up while backing up. It's been more than a week and sometimes I get to 11KB and sometimes I get to 6.6MB. But every time it gets hung up and won't finish. I try stopping the back-up but that won't work. I have to eject the backup disk to get it to stop. TM pref pane says Failed. I ran disk utility on the disk, but it's fine with no errors. I checked the COnsole to look for error messages but there are none pertaining to TM.
What do I do?

It's a FireWire LaCie Porsche 250 GB external HD, which I think is a very decent disk. In fact, I've had no problems with it whatsoever until this past week.
Maybe, but they're all mechanical contraptions . . .
Now, something else I've seen is that when I turn off TM and then turn it back on (the actual switch in the pref pane) I am asked to choose a disk to use for backup. When I select "Macbook Pro Backup" it asks me if I want to back on the same disk that my original data is on. That seems weird to me. In fact in my list of disks, I have the external HD (2 partitions) and my Windows partition HD but no "Macintosh HD" start-up disk.
That sounds like the message you get when you want to back-up to a different partition on the same drive. It will let you do that, but warns you first that it may not be a great idea.
And you should only get the "Choose a disk" prompt if there isn't one already selected.
TM should list any volume with TM backups on it (from any Mac) in the excluded list, but in gray, so you can't remove it.
It's a long shot, but it might be worth a try to do a complete reset:
Stop TM, de-select your TM drive (select "none"), note your exclusions, then quit System Preferences.
Delete the top-level (not in your home folder) file: /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
Re-select your TM drive, re-enter any exclusions, try a +Back Up Now+.

My facebook get hung and could not be returned. what to do?

my facebook get hung in my ipad 2 and could not be returned. there is no provision to return facebook home screen. what to do?

Are you accessing Facebook via Safari or one of the Facebook apps ? Have you tried closing the app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Safari/the Facebook app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Sent email is getting hung up in my outbox

sent email is getting hung up in my outbox on my imac

I have the same issue with my iphont5 on IOS6.
I just traded my iphone 4s and got an iphone5.
I have my work email (exchange) and my gmail account set up on my phone. As soon as I updated to IOS 6, I started to have these problems:
When I send emails out, they get stuck in my outbox.
When sending picture msgs, they just stay in sending status.
A problem with Internet links not opening on safari.
I did everything that you can think of, restarted the phone, reset network settings, restored to factory settings and setup as NEW iphone, checked all email and exchange settings (all are correct) and they way they worked on my 4S, deleted my exchange profile on the work server.
I did all that you can think of and nothing was a permanent fix.
Apple Geniuses, please help us get this resolved. Other co-works are having the same problems.
I made an appointment to go to the apple stores, drove 30 min to get to the apple store, and they blamed it on the bad reception that only happens at their store....
He reset my phone, to reset the firm ware and the problem is still there....
I was told to call Sprint to see if there is a network issue, then I can go back to the Apple store..
I told the guy that I has Sprint before, I even had an Iphone 4s, and this never happened...
He said to check with Sprint....
I have never hated a phone that I have bought... I am starting to with this iphone5.

Upgraded to tiger, mail gets hung up on importing old messages.

I had my pwrbk tuned up and upgraded to Tiger. All files were swept onto a dvd for back up and just plopped back on again after the install. When I click on mail to 'mail' it wants to import my "existing Mail messages into the new version"... so I 'continue' as it requests and (sighhh) it procedes to import (sighhh) my 4500 or so (who's counting) messages. It gets hung up on #1363 (which I believe is in the 'sent' folder) and the time remaining keeps increasing...- I mean - I gave it a chance - the battery (brand spank me new) ran all the way down AND we plugged it in too ... it happens every time. How to bypass this import without deleting all my old emails and just excise the offending hanger-upper?

The conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Even if Mail didn’t freeze while importing, there is no guarantee that it would import the old mailboxes successfully. Take a look at the following thread for an example:
Just upgraded, Most of my old Inbox is gone!
You could apply the procedure described there to the mailboxes that Mail appears to be choking on. Alternatively, you could move the entire account folder out of ~/Library/Mail/ (to the Desktop) and manually import its mailboxes afterwards as Other.
