Someone please help me with this Mac mail nightmare!!!

somewhere between 10.2 and 10.3 my mail settings became all wild and out of control. What I'm talking about is this. When I open my Mac in the morning, or anytime I go online I must first clear out all mail in my .Mac mail account first before proceeding to Mac mail. If I don't delete all mail in .Mac's mail account first, and then open Mac mail, it will freeze up on me immeadiately. Even if I'm using mail and more mail comes into .Mac mail account from the Internet....it will freeze up too. This has become very tiresome!
So, everytime I want to send an email from Mac mail, I must first go .Mac mail account and delete all mail .
Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, do you have a solution?

Verify/repair your disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Now, try the following in order to identify (not solve) the problem:
1. Either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down your Internet connection and open Mail afterwards.
2. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail and disable junk mail filtering.
3. Go online again.
Post back with your observations.

  • Help me with this Mac Mail!

    Hey everyone,
    I am new here and I have a question. I am using Mac Mail and what my problem is is that when I am trying to connect to my ISP, I can see on the screen that it says it is searching for new messages but it never downloads anything. Now, I know this is untrue because I checked my webmail and I have messages on there. Here is what has already been done.
    ** Deleted and remade the curent account and verified all of the settings are correct
    ** Tried moving the PList to the desktop, restarting and creating a new account there
    ** I have went in and deleted all of my old ISPS accounts
    ** Set up an account with OE6 on my home computer and made sure I left a check in leave a copy of mail messages on server
    ** I have no antivirus programs on my computer that are currently turned on
    ** I have nothing else using my connection that woudl interfere with this
    ** Verified my port settings were correct for 110 incoming
    I just do not get it. Why does it send the log in information? Check my mail, check for unseen messages and then come back with nothing to show? Keep in mind, this was working fine at one time. And also this is not just my computer. There have been 10 other friends I have that are having the exact same problem. I give them Apple
    s number at 1-800-SOS-APPLE and apple basically refuses to help them if they do not have the tech support feature. They also refused to help me basically. Does anyone have ANY ideas whatsoever or has anyone had this problem and if so, how do u fix this?

    Hello,
    Is this POP account provided by your ISP? Is there an online link where the ISP provides info about how to set up their email account?
    In Mail, it is necessary to know whether the mail server expects the Username to be the portion of the email address in front of the "@", or the entire email address -- here we are talking about the entry block for Username, and not Email Address. If you are only entering the username portion, try the whole email address -- if you are using the latter, currently, try only the username portion.
    Access of the POP3 mail server, with Mail, uses only the Username and password, so the form of Username is critical.

  • Someone please help me with this sync problem

    Ok here we go. I have had my laptop for a little over two years. Ever since i got my iphone 4 last summer it has been such a pain. I have backed up my phone and synced it multiple times on my computer. Every so often though i plug my iphone into the computer and it recognizes it in itunes but asks me to either set as new iphone or restore from back up. I have tried to restore from back up and it says that the back up has failed even though there is obviously a back up on the computer. I have set as new and it works fine for a day or two and then i got to resync and same problem. I have completly unistalled itunes and all its files and redownloaded it and it worked for a week or so and then same problem. I have also had my computer reset to factory settings (for an unrelated issue) and it worked the first time but then stopped working. I have tried everything i can imagine and am at the end of my rope with this phone. im so ready to call it quits and get something different cause this is so frustrating.

    How do you do what? Plug the iPhone into a USB port directly on your computer, or disconnect other USB devices? To disconnect a USB device unplug it from the computer. If it is a disk drive eject it first using the Eject icon in the System Tray. To plug the iPhone into a USB port directly on the computer insert the USB end of the sync cable into a USB port on the computer.
    If you are using all of the ports on your computer get a hub and plug low power devices into the hub (e.g., keyboard, mouse). Or get a hub with its own power supply and plug your high power devices (disk drives, DVD drive) into it.

  • Can someone please help me with this. Loading problems and error codes.

    I have several problems with itunes on my PC. I use 2 PC's and Iphone for work and I have an IPod nano. For about a week I have been having several problems with Itunes. The first problem is I cannot access the store, I get the loading screen and that is it. This screen lasts forever, nothing ever happens it just loads, and loads, and loads. . . .
    I try to sign in thinking that will help the loading issue and I get error message saying "We could not complete your itunes store request. An unknown error occurred (-50)." This happens on both computers. I also cannot download from my iphone, I get the same error message. Running diagnostics does nothing, itunes says everything is in working order. Uninstalling and reinstalling also does nothing. I have had itunes for years now and up until about 10 days ago had no problems. My itunes is not behind a firewall on either computer. I'm saying all of this because I would prefer not to get obvious answers or links that do not help me. Please someone has to know how to fix this.

I don't have any idea what "NAM" even means!! When I tried to exit that place "Auto NAM Select". The only option was "OK", which made to phone automatically turn off showing "Reset".

  • Please help me with this mac problem

    I bought a mac pro without any applications installer (iPhoto, iMovie etc.) Is it really like that? Or there should be one? Btw, i bought OS X v10.

    Did you purchase this computer from an authorized Apple dealer (or Apple Store) new or did you buy it from an individual?
    Yeah that is my question also.
    If bought Used from a Private person then you need to Register it with Apple on the Apple Website.
    You should also check that it is a Late 2011 model as if it is an early 2011 model it may of originally came with Snow Leopard Pre-Installed and that means that is should not of been sold with Lion installed. As if it is a early 2011 model that did come with SL installed then Lion is regisrted to the original buyer of Lion and not to the serial # of that Mac.

  • Could someone please help me with this

    I've tried everywhere, even technical support but this has been a nightmare. Technical support have been driving me in circles and not getting anywhere.
    I purchased an ebook from amazon.com back in 2004. This was fine but in 2008 I brought a new PC as my old one died out. Now I had backed everything up on CD, loaded it back on new PC.
    Back then, i don't think this Adobe Digital editions existed, anyhow I can't open the ebook now. Firstly, let me say this, I have already contacted Amazon, they are of no help as they no longer do ebooks and no longer provide support on ebooks. I was told to speak to publisher, publisher said its none of their business as I never purchased it off them and told me to go back to amazon. Technical support are running me in circles telling me to install, reinstall Adobe none of which works.
    My question is I have purchased an ebook, why should I not be able to use it?
    One point however, I did use a different email address when i purchased the ebook however when contacted customer services that adobe ID no longer exists on their database and the email address I use for adobe digital editions is a different one as I cant use the old one as there is no password for it now.
    This is the error message I get when trying to open the book:
    Adobe DRM Error
    System: 8
    State: 4
    Class: 65603
    Code: 147
    Message:
    VE error 147
    --- end ---

    If you are using Unix/Linux then to execute an executable file(like output of your C file) you need to run it as ./<output file name>. In your case the to run the specific file name(make-midp-base) you mentioned, you need to type in the terminal ./make-midp-base.
    Hope you are ok with the answer.

  • HT203167 I purchased several songs and the music will download to my home computer and laptop but will not sync into my ipod...can someone please help me with this issue

  • My MacBook Pro iTunes movie purchase is not showing in iTunes store movie purchases nor does it show on my iPad or Apple TV.  Can someone please help me with a solution?  Thanks.

      First of all, I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Sometimes, I use a VPN to search on the web here. I purchased Toy Story 3 on my MacBook Pro 2011 OS/X - Lion through iTunes.  I initially had trouble downloading it which may be due to being on and off the VPN but after a while it finally downloaded and shows up in my iTunes library on my MacBook. 
      Under my Apple ID account (which is the only Apple ID account I have), I look under purchase history and it shows that I paid for Toy Story which is where I got my Order # from.  But if you go to the iTunes Store then to the Quick Links then click on Purchased, under all my Movies, it does NOT show Toy Story 3 as one of my movies.
      Now when I go to my iPad (3rd gen.), Toy Story 3 does not show up under purchased movies (all or not on my iPad).  It does not show up on my Apple TV as well.  If I want to have Toy Story 3 on my iPad or Apple TV, then it says I have to purchase it again.
      I have searched for help via Apple support communities but so far none of their solutions have worked for me.  I have tried logging off iTunes & App Store on iPad and also shutting down the iPad.  I also made sure that under iTunes Preferences>Store that iTunes in the Clouds purchases is checked. Can someone please help me with this?  Your consideration is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items. 

  • Please help me with this SQL query

    I am practicing SQL queries and have come across one involving fetching data from 3 different tables.
    The three tables are as below
    <pre>
    Country
    location_id          country
    loc1          Spain
    loc2          England

    I am trying to write an SQL query - for each country of users, display the average number of posts
    I understand the logic behind this that we first need to group together all the locations and then the users belonging to one country and then find the average of their posts.
    But, i'm having a difficulty in putting this in SQL form. Could someone please help me with this query.
    Thanks.

    select
    country.country,
    count(*) Totalpostspercountry,
    count(distinct post.user_id) Totaldistincuserspercountry,
    count(*)/count(distinct post.user_id) Avgpostsperuserbycountry
    from
    country, muser, post
    where country.location_id = muser.location_id
    and muser.user_id = post.user_id
    group by country.country
    The output is like this for your sample data - hope this is what you were looking for :)

  • HT1338 evr since i put a child lock on my Mac its never been the same .. now i cant even open my yahoo mail without it wanting me to reinstall this can someone please help me work this out

    ever since i put a child lock on my Mac its never been the same .. now i cant even open my yahoo mail without it wanting me to reinstall this, can someone please help me work this out

    What "child lock" are you talking about?
    Do you mean you set up a Managed account (Parental Controls), or some other software?
    For Parental Controls, select the account in Users & Groups and uncheck the "Enable parental controls" checkbox.

  • Please help me with this questions "if I purchased items through mac or windows is it possible to re-download those purchases on Apple TV though iCloud"

    Please help me with this questions "if I purchased items through mac or windows is it possible to re-download those purchases on Apple TV though iCloud"

    It depends on what country you're in and whether or not they're still available in the iTunes Store. Some purchased movies and all rentals won't be available.

  • I'm sure someone can help me with this...

    Please help me with this, I'd like to have it resolved before going away and I need to check my email offsite. If you need any more info just tell me.
    I have several folders where new mail is placed according to rules (i.e. Work, Family). How can I sync Mail so it updates the messages in my .Mac mail account so i can read them online too? Currently, messages that are filtered using Mail do not appear in my .Mac mail account when I am away from my home computer. It's very frustrating. Please help. Thanks.

    Hi Naomi
    Make sure that, when you set up the mailbox in .Mail, you create it as a subfolder of your .Mac account. By default, that will then create the folder on the .Mac servers - not on your computer as I believe is currently the case.
    A mailbox/folder on .Mac (which will be readable in webmail) appears in Mail within a "globe" icon.
    A mailbox/folder on your computer appears as a normal "folder" icon.
    You can move a local folder onto the server by dragging and dropping it on top of the .Mac inbox.
    Hope that helps
    Matt
