Sending mail with "sent" is fast, but copying the sent mail is very slow, sometimes takes a minute; can it be speeded up?

After hitting "send", a screen comes up showing a moving bar "copying the mail to the sent folder", the bar goes fully right on
the screen but then I must wait, sometimes a minute for the copying process to complete. Then I always get a screen message
next that says in effect could not copy, so I close that screen and then go to my sent folder and the email I sent shows up. So,
the copy process is very slow and then I get a message could not copy, but in fact a copy does appear in sent folder????
Thank you

You do not mention how big is the Sent folder.
I would first try to archive a load of old sent emails. This will reduce the file size. Maybe the delay is due to a large file.
Set up Archive Options:
* https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/archived-messages
choose to archive by month and year and keep folder structure.
Archive anything older than a month.

Sending mail is very slow

Recently sending mail from my pop account mailbox seems to be taking ages, even for short messages. It has always been pretty quick until just recently, when the rotating cog keeps rotating for about a minute or two for one small message. Is this something I can fix on my computer or is it the server? Linda

This sounds like the same thing that's happening here at my job. Just in the past few weeks everyone has noticed that when they send an email it takes several minutes for the email to actually be sent.
An like the other poster said, there doesn't seem to be any problems when using webmail. I tested it out and sent a message from my account on webmail and I was watching the mail queue on the server. As soon as I sent it from webmail it was in the queue. When I send a message using the Mail App it doesn't appear in the server queue until it is actually sent from the Mail App, which can take over a minute for me, and I've heard other people say it's taking up to 2 hours from their computers!
I hope there's some sort of fix for this. I'm willing to bet it's not just us having this problem...

TS1702 The default Camera application is not responding, it comes with black screen. Functions on the screen are unresponsive, very slow.

Dear community,
The default camera application became un-usable in my iPhone5. Cannot operate camera at all. It comes with a blank/black screen, camera controls are unresponsive, front-back camera toggle switch takes couple of minutes to response but with a blank/black screen both front and back.
I searched solutions and applied but none seems to work. I reset my phone, started as blank, with no user account, still camera is acting same (or rather not acting). Other apps that use camera give error when try to access the camera such as whatsap and skype. Facetime comes with a very blurred view. Couple of screen shots are attached.
I think need to erase and reload the camera program but I could not find how to do it. Is it possible? or is there any other suggestions?

Hello hakanid,
The following article provides some useful troubleshooting steps that can help get your iPhone's camera working.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Just got off the phone with apple support. If the photo book completes the assembly process but fails during the upload process the problem is in their overloaded servers.They just started a free shipping promotion for the holidays which has increased the traffic dramatically. I bought a calendar a week ago and it went right through. I'm going to try again during less peak times.
Happy Holidays

When I upgrade to yosemite, when I have to send and receive mail is very slow

When I upgrade to yosemite, when I have to send and receive mail is very slow. Mails take a long time to be send and receive, and the mail boxes disconnect frequently. I am using the yosemite mail server and don't have this issue with user with Maverick.
Many Thanks

So let me see if I understood it right... In Mavericks you didn't had this issue, this only happens in Yosemite and you are using Apple Mail, not another mail client. Have you tried in System Preferences > Internet Accounts unchecking and rechecking the email checkbox on your account?? If that doesn't works try deleting and adding your account.
Sorry for the bad English

Send Mail is very... very slow!!!

Over the past week I have noticed that when I go to send a message or reply to a message... it is very slow. It is almost similar to when you send a large attachment... the only problem... I am not sending anything except the email.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I just did a fresh OSX install and it is still the same. Very slow. I have a 15/2 internet connection... I have tested that and it is good.
Thanks,
Ronnie

Same problem and found that the a feature in leopard mail accounts caused the problem .. I work from several places and to make it easier to send mail rather than selecting new from everytime I changed the account to allow other servers to be used .. it was slow to send all the time .....then today 4-5 weeks later I decided to change the setting back to this server only. voila.... speed again..
go to mail preferences accounts and tick the outgoing server to use only this server....
I made the change when i got my new Macbook pro....(should have left alone)

The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
BTW, this is the iPod touch forum

I have unlocked my iPhone 3G with Vodafone via iTunes, but now the downloaded apps crash immediately when opened. I've tried a Restore, but this didn't help. I've also tried removing all apps and re-installing them, but they still don't work. Any ideas?

yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
open itunes on my computer
click on my device on the left
go to the device summary
click restore
it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

I installed Lion OS, after restart it gives the startup screen with my user id but no window for password entry, no matter what I do I can't get past the opening screen.

Iphone4 getting lots of mails is very slow

Hi Everybody.
I am using an Iphone4 with 4.3.2 iOS.
I have two email addresses, both of them are private (so not mobileme, gmail, yahoo etc..)
When i receive 1-5 mail mail app is respond very fast, (as fast as a usual app does on Iphone 4)
but when i got 15- or more emails it takes 5 minutes to load! (i do not have problems with the download!). I see all the (let say) 20 mails in the mailbox and i would like to delete them. I have a button on the upper right corner "Edit" and after that i can select which mail to delete.
Usually (1-5 mail) it takes within a second, to select and earese them. When I have a bit more like 15- or more it takes 5 minutes!!!!!! I push the Edit button and after I will wait 2 minutes when the application response me. Sometime it looks like it was frozen, so I hit home button and open mail again. but nothing happend if i would like to delete them I will have to wait so long.
If anybody had/has something like this, or solution for my problem, please share with me.
(The mails are simply text mail, not html with big picture, no attachment, nothing just simply text!)
Thank you very much.

My emails on both of my Macs send very slow. And I don't use signed email. I've searched this forum for answers and no one has answered the question.

Synchronized my iPhone 3G 8G to copy the contacts and calendars from Outlook, I wonder if I can do the same synchronization to copy the same data from Gmail

Synchronized my iPhone 3G 8G to copy the contacts and calendars from Outlook, I wonder if I can do the same synchronization to copy the same data from Gmail ?

Right, I finally managed to get it sorted out.
iCloud only accept version 3.0 vcards, and the one I was using were version 2.1 so that's why it wasn't picking it up. So the easy way to get that sorted out is, use a gmail account.
I know you don't wanna do it because you think it's too much hassle and stuff, but trust me it only takes 5 minutes and that's it.
1. Create a Gmail Account.
2. Export your Old VCard files to the Gmail Account.
3. Now Import them from Gmail to your PC again.
And, that's it, that's just makes the new imported version in 1 file contains your all contacts in version 3.0. Now you can just upload that on icloud and then sync it with your iphone.
That's what I did and it worked, and I am sure if you wanna replace this file in the Contacts folder under your User Account in Windows and then try to sync Contacts in Tunes, it should work, but as I said, I did it with iCloud and it worked for me. So aye, that's pretty much it. Phewwww..
Been searching for it for the whole day and it took 5 minutes in the end, badass...
Anyway, don't lose hope and always Google for everything!

Updated to iOS 7, but only the first page of my app buttons stayed. How can I get them back?

I just updated to iOS 7, but only the first page of my app buttons stayed. How can I get them back? And how do I show the Apple Music and Weather app- I can find them in spotlight, but there isn't an app button for them.

Are you sure you don't see them when you swipe to the left?
I actually had only one icon showing on the second page .... and then all of the rest showed up on pages 3, 4, etc.
The Apple Music app is a red box with a white note
Weather app is a blue box with a white cloud and yellow sun
Did you try resetting or restarting the device?

I found out that I have some lost contacts on my iphone 5s, they dont appear when I search but if the contact calls me I see their name. How can I get those contacts to be on the list?

You could check settings > mail contacts and calandars and see if there are any accounts (like icloud gmail yahoo) listed and if they have contacts on. Its possible if contacts were synced to one of these accounts that turning them back on will recover the missing contacts.
