Slow/fast mail

Hi
Can anyone help, Mail is sending out at a speed of between 1.1kbp/s and 35 kbp/s, is this normal my connection speed is 500 kbp/s?
Thanks
George

It doesn't matter if you have a 500kbps or 5000kbps connection. The effective speed is the maximum speed of the slowest machine involved. This means, if there is any bottleneck on the way to the mailserver or if the mailservers connection is highly utilized, you can't get faster as the bottleneck or mailservers connection allows. You can only get the full speed of your connection if all components on the way to the destination have at least the same free bandwith for you.

Slow/Fast/Reverse DOES NOT WORK

I have read other posts on this issue. When I attempt to apply this effect, it does not work. This is a new project in iMovie HD 6. Clips will not take this effect. It shows up in the preview fine but will not apply. Below is what I sent Apple. Any and all help (solutions) appreciated. Is anyone else using this effect successfully in HD 6?
I select a clip (it is selected), click on the Editing tab, then click on the Video FX tab, and then select the fast/slow/reverse option. I am correctly using the slider to slow the clip down just one tick past the default position. The effect shows up in preview but will not apply. The red progress line (that indicates the effect is being rendered) shows up for about a tenth of a second and then stops. I am using the latest version of iMovie (6.0.3). I have a Dual 2 Ghz G5 Tower. I have 1.5 GB of ram. I am using OSX 10.4 8. All my software is up to date.
The camera I am using is a Sony VX2000. Never had a problem with iMovie 4 and 5. I have two internal drives. I have an external drive that is for backups only. All three are Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) format. The drive i am capturing to is the original drive that came with with my computer. It is 160 GB. 147 GB is free. I keep this drive clean and only for current projects.
I did have some plugins installed for iMovie from GeeThree. They are the updated versions for Intel and PowerPC running OSX 10.4.8. Again, all software is up to date. I did remove those plugins from the plugin folder. Also, I have ran Disk Utility and permissions are fine. I have not removed the preference files yet (plist) because I wasn't sure which ones to remove.
A third thing I did was to create a new project (after unstalling the plugins, restarting, using Disk Utility), reimport some footage and see if the slow/fast/reverse effect would work then. It did not work. I then saved all my current work and saved to tape. I NEED THIS EFFECT TO WORK! Please who can solve my problem? Dinner is on me!! LOL!

SLOW, FAST, TURBO, ULTRA TURBO

Hey Guys
Nice forum....Just have to get used to it. I find the searching isnt as good as the lats one but look gr8.
Anyways I have just got 1024MB Corsair PC3200 2-2-2-5 RAM. Its amazing made my PC so much faster and timings have made it so responsive.
Anyways I have a 875P motherboard like you can see below but in the BIOS I can select different options (Performance Options)
SLOW -> FAST -> TURBO -> ULTRA TURBO.
What exactly do these do? On my last generic RAM I had it on FAST and not have it on TURBO. Is it worth goin onto ULTRA TURBO? Also how kinda effect with these setting have on the life of the PC.
Cheers guys

Here is a review, there is also a lot there to take in but,
http://www.gruntville.com/reviews/memory/corsair_twinx3200xl/page3.php
The settings you are referring to are associated with PAT.
There are different levels of PAT, if you choose slow, is it off in CPUZ?
FAST
TURBO
ULTRA TURBO
CPUZ will report PAT to be enabled on all of these settings but it may not be fully enabled.
ULTRA TURBO = FULLY enabled PAT mode.
Run this program to tell you the level of PAT
ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/ctiaw.zip
Extract it to a folder, run the lowercase version.
See what PAT level it is running at.
Then change modes and run the program again.
What it does, going back to the INTEL link,
The setting adjust the memory/chipset timings to achieve higher system performance.
It should not be a problem if you have good memory.
Now is this starting to make sense

Neo Bios 1.6 and Slow/Fast/Turbo/Ultra Modes

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the Slow/Fast/Turbo/Ultra modes in Bios 1.6 on the Neo boards?
The only mode I can get to work is the Slow mode. On all the rest, Win XP boots OK, but when I would run programs, the screen would lock for a few seconds, then come back in low resolution stating I had an unspecified "device failure", and I had to restart my computer for it to work properly.
In any case, I have no clue what the difference is between modes. I was able to complete a 3dMark test while in Turbo mode, and compared it with one run in Slow mode, and the differences were minimal.
Can anyone enlighten me?

No OC, Timings = by SPD, DRAM Frequency = Auto (200/400)

Timings 2.0,4,4,6 2.0,3,3,6 2.0,2,3,6 2.0,2,2,6
"Slow" disables PAT/MAT and reduces the chipset bus frequency to 66Mhz (quad pumped)
"Fast/Turbo/Ultra-Turbo" Overclock your video card!!!
If you set your memory timings manualy or use a ratio other than 1:1 there will be no difference between Fast/Turbo/Ultra-turbo (only difference being "by SPD" memory timings) -as far as i can tell
There maybe other differences but not found them ....yet

Slow/fast/reverse in video effects

Hi I've just got the new iMac with iMovie 08. Does anyone know how I can get into the video effects and the slow/fast/reverse function?

I've just got the new iMac with iMovie 08. Does anyone know how I can get into the video effects and the slow/fast/reverse function?
Download and used the complementary copy of iMovie HD v6.0.4 if you want special effects/third-party plug-ins. iMovie '08 has no command structure for the threading of delayed third-party rendering modules. If you must use iMovie '08, create your special effects as either pre- or post-edits.

Question about "slow" "fast" "turbo" "ultra turbo"

Ok, on the 875P Neo board, what does "slow" "fast" "turbo" "ultra turbo" do to the settings in the bios? Ok "slow" is probably default (shouldnt they just call it "default"?)... but what will the rest SPECIFICALLY do to my system?

No one knows for sure, MAT is enabled in 1.6 on turbo and ultra turbo, it also seems to use more agressive memory timings - the sisoft sandra scores at turbo and ultra turbo are excellent.

Mac 10.6.8 slow outbox mail

Have exprienced for the first time slow outgoing mail. do you have a solution...
Have spoken with my internet provider and runned tests without results.
All my settings seem to be correct.

There seems to be a login item "com.logmein.logmeinguiagentatlogin" (which I can't identify) that is giving you a problem at login?
Go to: Apple > System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items and see what programs that you have set to open at login.
Example:
First try removing one or two that seem suspect from the list and see if that helps. Then if that doesn't help, remove them all.
Also keep in mind that some may reappear on there own at the next startup, if they do please let us know what they are.

Video FX slow/fast/reverse

Hi again,
I am having trouble with the slow /fast setting in FX.
When setting the speed if I try to change it there seems to be no way to do this without returning to the original state.
I am sure this was possible in past I movie versions, you could just change the speed at any time during the editing stage.
Am I missing something?

if your project is located on some external harddrive, it has to be formatted to "MacOsExtended" with Disk Utility, otherwise strrrange things coudl happen..

Slow outgoing mail DNS question

Outgoing mail is very slow for me in Leopard 10.5.2 (about 30 seconds). Other threads here have suggested I enter my ISP's DNS server number in System Preferences/Network. But there are DNS numbers already there, automatically supplied by my ISP (Charter). When I go to Advanced options, I see 4 DNS numbers, but they are greyed out and cannot be deleted (although I can add DNS numbers).
I just want my outgoing mail to get back to it's usual fast speed, but I can't figure this one out...
Thanks for any ideas!

I am not using port 25. I have an IMAP account to my college, and under advanced mail preferences it says port 993 with SSL checked (I think this is the correct setting). My son also has an IMAP account with his school, port 143, SSL unchecked. Sending from either is very slow (30 seconds or more). My ISP is Charter (outgoing mail server is mail.charter.net).
It's a consistent problem anyway. Every message sent out for a long time now is very slow going.
Thanks for your help

Since adding over 600 tags my computer is slow and Mail shows wrong emails in previously working intelligent folders... What to do?

Hi,
this is my situation: I have a MacBook Pro 15'' with 2,8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running on Mavericks. The transition to Mavericks a week ago was smooth, and I was happy to find out that my many OpenMeta tags (I've been tagging my files for over 7 years now) were easily converted into Mavericks tags using Leap (Ironic Software). I did notice, though, that even though Mavericks recognized all my existing tags, only those that I had entered "per hand" in Mavericks, were candidates for auto-completion in the entering/tagging process, while the others needed to be written out completely if I wanted to use them on a new file. So after a while I decided to look for a solution (I didn't want to risk creating similar tags to some already existing) and I had the idea to copy all my existing tags in one go from the Tags Window in Leap (685 in total) and paste them into the Mavericks tag window for one experimental file.
It worked. Now all my tags are shown in the Mavericks tags list and are auto-completed when prompted.
BUT since then my computer has been acting strange:
It has slowed down somewhat.
When I try to scroll down the complete list of my tags in the Mavericks tagging window Finder crashes.
And my intelligent mailboxes in Mail are now buggy. For ex. an intelligent folder programmed to show me all emails received today, will now show all of today's emails plus about 20 others from years past (dating as far back as 2009) many of them with "empty" senders, recipients and subject lines.
I have to add that all of this happened a few hours ago and that it seems as if the contents of the intelligent folders are getting updated as I write (but not necessarily in a good way)... Does that mean that my mac is rebuilding some indexes somewhere or anything of that kind?
So should I just wait and hope things will get better? Or is there anything I can do to correct the problems?
Thanks in advance.

No problem with versions not matching.
In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail and find one account folder (will begin with POP if POP account, etc). Open the account folder and locate the INBOX.mbox folder (or INBOX.imapmbox if using IMAP), and then tell me if there is a Messages folder within, and if so open that and observe the number of files it contains?

Extremely slow Safari, Mail, Firefox,etc.

I have been experiencing an extremely slow computer. Safari, Apple Mail, Firefox, Apple App store, iTunes store, any app the requires the internet. Sometimes it takes Google.com 30 seconds to load. Apple Mail routinely times out. After loading a web page and then selecting the back button, it takes over 30 seconds to reload the previous page. I have turned off iCloud.
I contacted my ISP, two service calls to check the line and they replaced the cable modem. The results from Speedtest.net were +25Mbps download so their advice was to call Apple.
I have been getting a Recoverd files folder in the trash when I start up the compter. Activity monitor only shows, activity in Finder, Firefox, and Acitvity Monitor, so nothing else is running in the background.
Any suggestions? Have I missed something?
Should I do a Clean Install?
iMac, 27 inch, 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7, 8GB memory, Mac OS 10.8.2
Thank you.

Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results.

Video/mp4 attachments incredibly slow in Mail

When I receive an email with an mp4 attachment (from my remote camera), it appears mail is trying to preview the attachment and it locks up mail for 5-10 seconds. I get the spinning rainbow and I can't do anything else until it completes. The video attachments are about 1MB, so not huge. A 10MB non-video attachment is fast.
Note, my mail server is gmail and I "Keep copies of messages and attachments for offline viewing". I'm running Lion 10.7.2, same experience in Lion prior version.

Figured it out (or at least found a fix). The folder was marked as shared, but somehow filesharing had gotten turned off during the upgrade. I reenabled filesharing, set the folder back to shared, and everything works perfectly again.

Suddenly my text entry is lagging/very slow in Mail

This only happens entering text in Mail, not in text edit (or here). I'm using 10.5.8. Cause?

That could be caused by many things including being low on RAM or a cache. You can do a simple restart or to reset some of the caches restart in Safe Mode. To check to see if you're low on RAM when you notice the system slowing open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and check the System Memory tab. If the FREE RAM is 500MB or lower you could probably benefit by a RAM upgrade.

Slow/fast motion?

I am a super beginner with imovie but im getting pretty good at it and im almost done with my movie but all i have left to do is make something in slowmotion and something in fast motion. does any one know how to do that and can explain 2 me how?

That is not possible within iMovie '08. Here is one way of doing it:
- Select just the section of the video you want to slow down, and export it as a Quicktime movie.
- Download and install iMovie '06 from Apple. It's a free download for iMovie '08 owners.
- Create a new project, import the clip, add it to the timeline.
- Find the slow motion effect, adjust the speed of your clip.
- Export result back out.
- Import edited clip back into iMovie '08.
- Splice it into your iMovie '08 project.
There will be some quality loss as you will go through some format conversions along the way.

Slow Fast Forward or stalls - streaming over wifi.

To anyone who is interested,
I was having problems trying to fast forward an HD film over my Wifi(g) network. For some reason, apple tv stalls if the fast forwarding out paces your buffering speed. In a nutshell, my network is fast enough to watch hd over but too slow to fast forward faster than X2.
Does anyone know how to improve this setting? Apart from opting for a new router, wired and removing other wireless devices?
For a short term solution for anyone out there, the remote feature on the iphone allows you to simply drag along the length of the film, similar to that of a film, and play from where you stop. EXTREMELY USEFUL when compared to the response-less rubbish that is the white remote!

I have that problem all the time with synced HD video. If I fast forward or rewind, the video will start sputtering after that. I don't think it's your network, it's probably a glitch in the ATV.
In any case, if you're streaming from a Mac via wifi, make sure you turn Time Capsule off. If it starts running while you're streaming, it will definitely degrade performance.
