Why does it take too long to open attachments from email account?

It takes forever to download attachments from my email account. I have tried to do the following tasks explained on the vista forum :http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/6b046ae9-1434-4423-9303-400ff6fe686b1033.mspx#ESD but none of the possible fixes work.
After clicking open on the pop up box asking whether i want to open or save the attachement It takes too long to download it. The transfer window stays open showing that it is ready to download but stays at that bhox window. I press cancel and try to open again, if lucky it opens that file, otherwise it takes forever forceing me to cancel. The files very small files most of the time, usually between 50kb so should take seconds.
I have even tried to save the files but again same process. The transfer box stays open but does not download.
Any one any ideas.
Thanx in advance.

Hello
It is not easy to say what happen exactly but it must be something with email account provider and their page. For me this case is not some typical Vista problem but you can try to find solution on Microsoft Vista IT Pro forum.
By the way: do you have alternative mail address by some other provider? Is there the same situation?

Why does it take so long to upload pictures from iphote to AppleTV

Why does it take so long to upload pictures from iphoto to AppleTV? It takes hours to see a folder created in iPhoto to finally display on AppleTV.

Do you mean that you are importing music from an audio CD into iTunes? If so, the most likely causes of slow speeds are limitations of the CD drive you are using and/or the CD being dirty or damaged. If you turn on error correction within iTunes this can slow down the import process if it is repeatedly re-reading the same data before it gets a repeatable result (though it is a good idea to always have error connection enabled as the alternative is audible errors in the results). Depending on which system I'm using typical CD reading speeds vary between 5x and 12x (so a nominal 74 min CD imports in 6-15 min).
Importing a CD has nothing to do with your internet connection (which is only used to look up the song titles, etc. before you start importing).
However, if you are downloading music from the iTunes store or another internet retailer such as Amazon, I'd expect an album's worth of m4a/mp3 files to download in 1-2 minutes on a typical broadband connection. If this is what you're doing, and its taking an hour to complete, then there's a problem with the broadband connection itself or with how your PC is set up to use it.

Why does it take so long to open emails?

It can take a minute to open each email message on my iPad2 ( 1st generation). I use Yahoo email. The mail opens in a flash on my iPhone 4S. I am using wifi with a NETGEAR router. I have no problem open the emails on my iMac computer. The problem exists only on my iPad.

Hello, Chairwalker.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try forcing all applications to close and power cycle the device. Once this is done test the functionality of mail on your iPad.
iOS: Force an app to close

Why does it take so long to start recording from my external drive?

I know the question its a bit long, I just wanna know why does it happen, or better what can I do so it stop happening...
I mean when Im recording using the drive from my macbook, it would not delay to start recording, but when Im working with the external drive and put it to record it takes like 40 seconds before its starts recording...
Im still learning so, please someone reply this concern ...
thanks

+Im working with the external drive+
Are you 100% sure that your external drive is formatted to Mac OSX Extended, with journaling off? (NOT FAT32 or NTFS) Select the disk and press command-I to find out.
If not, _back up all the data on the drive_, and reformat it using your Disk Utility (Utilities folder).

Why does it take so long to stream movies from itunes with Apple TV?

Every time I try to rent a movie from iTunes, it says it will take minimum 40 minutes to load. Just now it said 5 hours and 30 minutes!!
What is the deal?

This is likely due to your network.
Check www.speedtest.net
6mbps is required for instant HD
Check for interference (check www.istumbler.net for mac or netstumbler for windows)
Make sure you're using your IsPs DNS

Why does it take so long to download movies from my apple TV?

It has been taking 6 hours to download all the movies I have rented since I purchased it in July. Is this the normal amount of time it takes?? My internet connection is fine and my iTunes is up-to-date.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

On my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

on my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

It depends on the size of the attachment and the speed of your internet connection.
Next time you send an email with an attachment do these two things:
In Apple Mail (I assume you are using Apple Mail), under the Window menu select Activity. Arrange the Activity window so you can see it.
Then open the separate application located in the Utilities folder called "Activity Monitor" and arrange it so you can see it at the same time as the Activity window in Mail.
In Activity Monitor program, select the tab labeled "Network." Watch the "Data sent/sec" portion. Then send your email, while watching the Mail Activity window and also the Activity Monitor program window Data sent/sec area.
You should see the mail being sent with a progress bar in the Mail Activity window and also you should be able to see how many bytes/sec or KB/sec or MB/sec your internet connection is giving you in the Activity Monitor window.
Example: my internet provider gives me about 20 Megabits per second download and 5 Megabits per second upload. To convert these to Megabytes per second (Activity Monitor shows things in bytes, not bits), simply divide by 10 (not the exact thing to do, but close enough). So I get 0.5 Megabytes per second upload speed. When I send a file that is 5 Megabytes in size, it takes about 10 seconds if I am getting the full upload bandwidth. If I am getting less than that (which sometimes happens), it will take proportionately more time. Either way, you can see what is happening with these two windows.
If your internet provider is supposed to give you, say, 5 Megabits/sec upload (0.5 Megabytes/sec), but you see only say, 5 KB/sec (=0.005 Megabytes/sec), sent in Activity Monitor, then your emails are taking a long time because you are getting only abut 1/100 the speed you should be. You might want to check with your internet provider about that.

Why does it take so long to delivery?!

Ordered my Macbook pro today. Dispatch date for the whole order is 1-3 business days. Delivery estimate is 19th - 23rd January (today is the 31st December!!) so why does it take so long for the courier to deliver?? That's over 3 weeks away and a long time between dispatch and delivery!

I'm lucky enough there is one in Southampton where I live and there are two in Bristol where I study so I could easily go and pick one up! Infact I think there is a store within an hours drive of anyone in the UK now, plus there are official Apple stalls (with Apple staff and Genius bar) in most electronic superstores. So not too hard to find!
However, the issue is that I'll be paying for my Pro through finance (Barclays in the UK) so I don't really want to have to cancel that as they do a credit check on you and I'm afraid applying for finance again would affect my rating so I'm not too keen on doing that.
And before any of you suggest it, my finance has already been approved and Barclays will credit Apple within one business day (Tuesday, after the New Year public holiday on Monday) so this is not a reason for the delivery to be slowed up.
Out of interest I went onto the store again and added all my items to the basket. I ordered a MacBook Pro (standard 2.4 GHz 500GB model), Microsoft Office for Mac and Apple Care under university pricing and the delivery estimate was for the 4th January. So I'm wondering what could have possibly delayed my order!!

Why does it take so long to convert my PDF to word.docx? It has been going for more than 30 minutes.

Why does it take so long to convert my PDF to word.docx? It has been going for more than 30 minutes.

There could be several reasons. It may be that Acrobat spent that time trying and ran into too many bottlenecks. As a test you might print the PDF to a new PDF and try the conversion on the new PDF. It might be there is a problem with the original PDF that the print process would fix..

Why does it take so long to access older messages on this site?

Just curious, but why does it take so long to access the older messages
(and related responses) on this site?
When I do a search, the list of results comes up immediately, but when
I click on an entry to see the full message I run into problems. If
the entry is relatively new (say less than six months old), the full
message and related responses displays within seconds, but if it is
old than that, it can take up to 15 minutes or more to display
everything.
I have tried different browser, different operating systems, with and
without proxies and firewalls, on T1, on DSL, on dial-up, and the same
thing always happens.
Anyone know what is causing this, and a way I can fix it?
Thanks

Hey that happens to me too....I think they are archived a different way then the new post, so it takes longer to retrieve them.

Why does Sync take soo long?

I am trying to sync up a website on a new install of
Dreamweaver. The total volume of the entire website is just a
little over 100 MB. At DSL speed, I could simply download the
entire site with an FTP program like CuteFTP and it would come down
completely in about 30-40 minutes.
Dreamweaver has been chugging along for 12 hours now and I
haven't a clue when it will be finished if ever. Many times when I
check it, there is a dialog that says something like a file xxx.htm
could not be downloaded from the server, Skip, Cancel, will
automatically skip in xx seconds.
I am not for sure why this message keeps popping up. Is this
why the download is taking so long?
I have seen long download times before and never noticed
those error messages before. I wish there was a setting to make it
skip all files with errors.
Why does Dreamweaver take exponentially longer than Cute FTP
to synchronize my files?
Kirk

Adobe's FTP code in DW is sorely lacking. I too found it
painfully slow. I
have since gone to a dedicated FTP program and live much
happier.

Why Does It Take So Long To Detect Proxy Settings?

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with all patches
Internet Explorer 10 with all patches
The first time I start Internet Explorer after booting it takes a very long time (>30 seconds) to detect proxy settings. There is nothing else running on this machine. I have this problem if IE is the first thing I open after booting.
