Thunderbird constantly freezes when using google corporate mail services (spinning ball) (Mac OS X)

Howdy
I've worked through the self help guides up to this point on eliminating performance issues in thunderbird.
With google corp e-mail (imap) and many folders/messages, thunderbird literally locks up and spins to high CPU for up to a minute. This even happens when in the middle of composing an e-mail message, which is very disruptive to using thunderbird as a mail client. I went through what was proposed to do with gmail based services, here: http://www.ghacks.net/2013/09/07/fix-gmail-imap-slows-thunderbird-mails-arriving-timely-fashion/
I've also rebuilt the global DB now a few times, but this has not helped. Are there additional things that can be done?
It would be nice if mail message editing was not delayed like this while thunderbird processes new inbound mail in the background (it would make end user not aware of whatever it is thunderbird is spinning over in the background w. IMAP)
Thanks
Todd

first things first. If you have McAfee anti virus that will most likely be the cause (Recent release issue for them)
Most slow downs and script timeouts are a bad interaction with anti virus or other security software. Although a PC that is borderline in the system requirement can also exacerbate the issue.
The size of folders on disk can have an impact (any around 4Gb?)
Have you unsubscribed the all mail folder?
What version of Thunderbird. Older version have issues with reindexing all the time, with gmail

Suggestion: to add the feature to expand the to/cc/bcc windows when using google mail.

when using google mail, at the compose window can you add
the capability to expand the size of the to/cc/bcc/ windows?
Safari allows the expansion of the to/cc/bcc windows so one
may see all the entries at a glance. TIA. wm king

That capability will be added in Firefox 4.
I see you have OS X 10.4 and a PPC Mac, unfortunately you will not be able to install Firefox 4 as it requires an Intel Mac and at least OS X 10.5. There is a third party build of Firefox 4 for the PPC and 10.4 available from http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

My adobe acrobat XI Pro has been constantly freezing when I open documents.

My adobe acrobat XI Pro has been constantly freezing when I open documents. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, changed some settings based on community threads, nothing is working. I have to close the document, open it back up and wait at least 60 seconds before I can do anything. I use Adobe pdfs for everything this is very bad. I am using MS Office 365, and Adobe CC on Windows 8.1.

Hi Kate,
Please refer to this KB doc. for the solution Application, file icons change to Acrobat/Reader icon

Windows 8 freezing when using Firefox

When I'm using Firefox or Chrome browsers the whole entire PC is freezing.
Already posted my issue on the Microsoft Community forum, where you can read the details and the troubleshooting steps I tried:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-networking/windows-8-freezing-when-using-chrome-or-firefox/d6bad301-6c55-4469-96cb-0ec3d43e1113
Also I found another post here on the Mozilla forum, who had the same issue and he did not seem to solve it either: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/975278?esab=a&as=aaq
Please help me to fix this annoying issue! Thx!

Well, the MS site was a bust, wasn't it?
it would help to know how Firefox is configured.
Can you send me your troubleshooting information from the Firefox installation that's having issues? This is a good part in troubleshooting.

*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
Firefox has hardware acceleration set to "on" by default, but it's still young, which means some video cards or drivers might have problems with it. You can try to disable hardware acceleration to see if that alleviates your problems.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps for Firefox version 29.0 and above:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select Options for Windows or Preferences on Mac or Linux. For Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Note that if this issue happens in both Chrome and Firefox that it may be a system issue and not a Firefox related issue,
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.

Lightroom 4 and 5 my program constantly freezes while using the crop and straighten tool

In both Lightroom 4 and 5 my program constantly freezes while using the crop and straighten tool with horizontal images. Im running Lightroom on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac with 32 GB of memory with OS 10.8.4, this problem has gotten worse and worse to the point where the crop tool is unusable. Please help!

Alright,
no replies so far! Anyways, here's some more information which is leading me to the conclusion that the bug causing the effect described above is a combination of Apple's SMB implementation of Mavericks and the way Lightroom is actually using SMB network access:
I did another trial by connecting a USB hard drive to the USB port of my router (Netgear). The connection is quite slow, but moving one of the folders in question (see my 1st post above) to the shared drive connected to the Router made Lightroom on my Windows machine to see the photos again, when I told Lightroom where to find the moved folder!
Everything was working as expected, on the Windows machine again! Moving the folder back again to the Mac Mini fileshare was causing Lightroom on the PC to get blind again for the pictures trying to sync or import. However, accessing and modifying a photo was possible again, like it was before the trial. So it's only the sync and import function having a problem!
I also did some trial in re-building ACLs and access rights on the file server with no luck. So there's got to be a functionality in sync and import of Lightroom which is using a certain SMB feature which is not supported by Apple's SMB implementation!
Any thoughts or hints?
Thanks!

MacBook Pro freezes when using any app other than the web browser.

My MacBook freezes when using any app other than the web browser. I can open up Google Chrome and use it all day with no problem, but if I minimize it and try to browse through photos in my picture folder or do anything that involves the Finder, the computer just freezes up and I get the rainbow wheel. If I put in a CD to play it, the computer freezes with the rainbow wheel. Any suggestions? I would like to use the mac for more things than the internet.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Imac keeps freezing when using safari

my imac keeps freezing when using safari or finder
The beachball appears and I have to wait.
My safari cache is emptied, have run Disk Utility to check permissions.
Rebooted various times.
Sorted out ``the community toolbar not supported" issue and still it's happening.
Anyone any tips on what to do next??
It's a 24 inch iMac - early 2009 version
Processor is 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Software is OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)

I have only been able to read your reply by going online on my phone -
I started up my iMac in safe mode on Saturday morning and reran Disk Utility , no problems.
I shut it down and re started it as normal. Whilst I was able to use my Mail and MS entourage and Safari brower,
the computer was very slow and the beachball appeared briefly each time I used a program.
On Monday , it didn't recognise one of the printers and was continually hanging.
All software is up to date and I have run Disk Utility - repair permissions again.
I shut the computer down yesterday and rebooted in Safe mode this afternoon so that I could try to look in

Contacts constantly freezes when opening an intelligent group

Hi,
my Contacts-App constantly freezes when I try to open an intelligent group (which seems to be emtpty). I've deletet the prefs with no effect…
can anybody help?

Back up all data.
Quit Contacts or Address Book if it’s running. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloudpreference pane.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it, then copy it (command-C) to the Clipboard:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, paste (command-V) into the box that opens, and press return.
A Finder window will open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
Relaunch the application and test. If there’s no improvement, quit and put back the item you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item.

I have a problem when using Google Maps, at some point my computer blanks the window and says there's a problem with display drivers, and it has recovered,but it doesn't. Problem doesn't happen with Int Explorrer, so I do not believe it is the computer

When using google maps through Firefox, after asking for a place which is not the general North America section which routinely comes up, the firefox screen goes white, with a narrow banner at the top. A message appears in the lower right corner which says something about display drivers having had a problem, but now have recovered. However the display doesn't recover and the banner message is that Firefox is not responding. When I go to restart Firefox if I go to the restore point, the page is still frozen out.
I do not believe it is a problem with my computer because it doesn't happen if I use I.E. to go to google maps, then G-maps works normally.
This phenomenon did not happen before the latest upgrade to either Google or Firefox. I have used Fiefox for a number of years and also Google Maps on previous computers and on this one, and not had this before.
This is a relatively young computer (Asus EeSlate 121) less than a year old. I have used Firefox since I bought it and until recently had no problem with Google Maps.

I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
Now all is working.
Thanks,
B.

My iMac freezes when using Firefox

My iMac freezes when using Firefox. We have to restart our computer.

TutorDaddy, if this Mac is still covered by the initial warranty or under AppleCare, take it in and have it looked at. As the old label used to say, there truly are "no user serviceable parts inside." Kernel panics very usually indicate failing hardware.
I have an older iBook G4 that started developing kernel panics and like you, despite reinstalling the OS from a freshly formatted volume, they kept continuing. I looked at the crash log and saw that in each instance of panic, the last bit of code to be accessed had something to do with AirPort. Knowing that the AirPort software was at then current levels, I surmised the problem to be a bad AirPort networking card which, on that particular model of the iBook, was a very small module attached directly to the logic board. Since the computer was out of AppleCare, I broke the machine down myself (I didn't realize that there could be so many barely visible screws in one machine) and removed the offending piece of hardware. My iBook lives but without WiFi, it now sits as a more or less desktop machine needing an ethernet connection to stay connected to a network.
I do not suggest you break into your iMac. First of all, I'm guessing one would need to be able to pull off the glass and have the necessary glue to reattach it, which is not really available to us consumers. If you're feeling adventurous enough to read the crash logs from each panic, you might be able to surmise the hardware component (or badly written application or library; it can happen) that's causing the panic. If it's a software issue, remove the offending software app and see if the panics return. If it's a hardware issue, it's best to let a competent service tech qualified on Apple hardware to handle it.
[edited to add:]
After browsing through related problems in the discussions, I saw this link to a third-party web site being handed out. Perhaps you'll find it useful: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

The numeral part of my keyboard causes my mac mini to freeze when using the 0 - 9 keys

The numeral part of my keyboard causes my mac mini to freeze when using the 0 - 9 keys.. I have to restart to continue.
Does it have to do with the disk utility?
I already did the disc repair job

Open System Preferences - Universal Access and check whether 'Mouse Keys' are activated.
If so, then deactivate them. They could be the cause of your problem.

Firefox crashes when using Google as startpage

Firefox crashes and gives me a general error mesage that it had to close down for certain reasons.
This only happens when I use Google as my startpage.
If I use any other website as startpage all works well and I can go to Google from there and everything works.
In short: FF crashes at start-up only when using Google as starpage, I see the Google page very briefly and then FF crashes.
I would realy like any solution because I have always used Google as startpage and want to keep it that way without having to start with i.e. altavista and go to google from there.

A possible workaround for now is to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
