Slow response when typing and/or pulling up new message

I do not have any Add-ons or extensions, so that is not the issue. I have a new computer running Windows 7, so I don't believe that is the issue either. But I have a lot of "hour-glass" time when typing and when clicking on emails to open the message. Is just seems to be responding slow. Is it Thunderbird ... or my computer?

As for Thunderbird, the only relation I could see is in line spell checking. Could you please check your Thunderbird preferences, Composition, Spelling. Does it help to uncheck 'Enable spell check as you type'?
If not, I could imagine this to be related to a virus scanner, or a display driver that is not up to date. You might be able to get an update from it from the manufacturer of your video adapter.

Slow responsiveness when typing in mail

Hi all -
I'm having a weird responsiveness problem when typing new messages (or replies) in Mail on Mountain Lion. The app will often freeze temporally when typing, and then several words of recently typed text appears at once. Freezes last 2-5 seconds. This seems to happen most frequently on my business accounts on Google (meaning gmail service, although the account is not @gmail).
I have tens of thousands of emails , so perhaps it's an indexing delay? Is there a limit on emails?
FYI, I'm on a 2009 15" MacBookPro with 8MB of Ram. My wife has experienced a similar problem on her McBook Air.
Ay ideas? Very annoying problem when you're trying to crank through emails.

Please follow these instructions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Quit Mail.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the box that opens, then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

Very slow response when I click on a link, but almost instant response if I go back and click a second time.

I often get very slow response when I click on a link, any link. But if I go back and click on the link again, then the page will open almost immediately. I discovered this by accident and noticed that this happens every time. It would be nice if I got fast response on the first click without having to do this silly procedure and it seems to me that there's a simple fix. I would appreciate it if you could help. I'm open to any and all ideas. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Al

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Random users getting very slow response when opening messages/attachments or sending email

I have a small number of users, mostly very senior management of course, who are experiencing slow response when trying to open email messages and attachments or send messages.
They see the spinning wheel and sit there until it decides to open or send. If the message is opened and closed again you would expect it to be quick reopening the same message, no, it does the same thing again.
These users are all using Outlook 2010 and their mail accounts are on Exchange 2013. It does not seem to make a difference if they use a physical machine or log into a VDI.
I do not have the same issue generally, though I have experienced this when using VDI and this has been seen using a number of different machine pools so it is not a specific pool.
This is not specifically a VDI issue, as the 3rd paragraph says, the issues are seen on both physical and virtual machines.
none of the mailboxes are particularly large, most are at around 60% of quota limit, and the same limit applies to almost all mailboxes across the organization. They also do not appear to have a huge number of messages stored, other users without issues
have larger mailboxes and higher item counts. Any ideas what I need to look at to address this?

Hi,
How about OWA?
If OWA works well, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
Please try to run Outlook under safe mode and re-create profile for testing.
Any related error/warning/information message left in App Log?
Also consider the network Bandwidth.
Thanks

Slow response when entering data to an empty cell?

Hey there...
I have this issue that when I start entering data into an empty cell or owerwriting one, the response is slow; when I press a button on the keyboard it takes roughly 1 second before anything visual happens in the cell, but when the data "makes it way through" the response is normal when hitting the keyboard.
Is anyone else experince a slow response when entering data to an empty cell in Number 09 or when overwriting one?/ Anyone familar with a similar issue, and is there anybody who knows how to fix this, or is it just normal for Numbers 09 to be a bit sluggish in the beginning when entering data?
I've recently swithced from Excel 2007 to Numbers 09, so sorry if the terminology is incorrect.

Question asked and answered several times.
Numbers was not coded by brains but by feet so, it behave sadly when the AutoSave Lion feature apply.
I posted a script getting rid of that.
Start from a template or duplicate the existing document just after opening it then close the original and work on the duplicate.
As it was never saved, AutoSave doesn't apply to it;
From time to time (say at least every ten minutes) call my script.
It wil duplicate the doc in progress and save it with a date_time stamped name.
this way, you will continue to enter datas in a never saved document.
Search for the string Auto_Save in the existing threads.
It's late and I'm too tired to search for you.

Slight latency when typing and scrolling is Safari

Something is wrong my Safari. There is a slight delay when typing and when I scroll really long webpages that are fully loaded into the browser. I created a new system profile and verified this problem is NOT happening there. It's very annoying and I don't know what is causing this. It only happens in Safari and no other program that requires typing and scrolling. Can someone help?
Thanks!

I created a new system profile and verified this problem is NOT happening there.
It only happens in Safari and no other program that requires typing and scrolling.
Since it's a user specific issue and only Safari, more then likely a third party Safari add on that's causing this.
Go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Deselect: Enable plug-ins
Quit then relaunch Safari.l
If you notice a difference when typing and the scrolling issue disappeared, follow the instructions here > Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

After an update or installation, your MBP may take some time to index its files. Give it some time - but if you don't see any improvement, post here - you'll get an answer!

I am unable to control my iPad 2. It is generating random letters when typing and when I try to delete it generates more letters unless I go slowly! Any advice?

Start with this and see how it goes. Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I "reply"ed to an e-mail message. The next time when I chose to write a new message and type the first letter of the person I replied to earlier, that name and e-mail address appears as a choice included in a pop up list of my contacts.

The Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have an option to clear previous recipients. You can learn to live with it. But if you want to get rid of it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is restoring the iPhone/iPod Touch as a new phone/iPod. If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

When I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts

I have followed the instructions to setup Messages, I can send messages to the email addresses that I have memorized, but when I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts when I type in the search field for a person that has an iPad or iPhone.
This sems out of sorts for an Apple product. Their stuff normally just works.
For some reason, My Mac Mini with Mountain Lion doesn't recognize my contact names, or it isn't synched with my contacts...
Anybody else want to weigh in, please?
Thank you!

Hi,
I would point out that I did say...
Of course the Contacts List has to have people listed in it.
The Error seems to be that you have not even got an My Card.
The OS when the computer is brand new and you set up the first Admin Account should create at least once Card entry for the Address Book/Contacts which has the Head and Shoulders icon (the My Card)
The does presume the the first account on the Mac doers have a person's First name and Last name to work with.
Of course not everyone sets things up this way.
Anyhow
To Check the Contacts List open the app.
Go to the Preferences.
Go to the Accounts section.
This should list at least two "accounts
One is for Syncing with iCloud and the other is for storing the Info on the Mac itself
In System Preferences > iCloud you can only set up one Apple ID to be the iCloud ID.
If you do or have changed this you may have extra accounts in the Contacts > Preferences > Accounts

When I want to write a "NEW" message the e-mail address won't appear in the To: bar.

When I want to write a "new" message the e-mail address to whom I'm writing will not come up in the "To" bar or it won't let me type in the address either. I can reply to a message but I can't send a "New" message or "Forward" a message.

It should be an attachment. Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message. A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

Why does iMessage bounce when I don't have a new message?

I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2012, 13inch non retina), and for some reason my iMessage dock icon repeatedly bounces even when I do not have a new message.
Thoughts?

The Alerts icon is confusing. You have to click on the little up and down arrows next to the "Event" box - it wasn't obvious to me that there are a jillion separate events you have to tediously click and set separately. It was the less obvious events that were causing the iMessage icon in the Mac dock to bounce up and down. Like when someone came online or left online.
Also if you actually get a REAL message, the icon should display a number on it.
