Why does mavericks mail freeze mac while downloading new mail

why does my mac freeze up while new emails are being downloaded ?

Same problems here, too. It started a few days ago. A lot of users seem to have this/these problem(s). Is there still no solution to this from Apple, apart from a complete reset of the iPad? Quite embarrassing issue for Apple - the "settings" are a quite important part of a computer, and one  that shouldn't freeze....
Other forums suggest it is an iCloud problem (which might explain that contacts does not work - and the calendar without sync is meaningless anyway). After MobileMe, with which many users had similar problems, had to be replaced by iCloud, maybe iCloud  has to be replaced, too. MobileMe, iCloud, next is YouLoose, maybe. Hopefully Apple looks at its own wbsite and works on solutions.

    Hello bigboza,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.

  • Why does my Epson printer hang while I have mail open?

    Today I was printing big prints (13x19") and twice it hung up with the iMac refusing to recognize any input I had (magic mouse or magic trackpad) to try and unfreeze the iMac.  I noticed that the only difference in what I had printed before was that I had Mail open and running.  I had to resort to shutting down the iMac (forced quit by holding the power button for multiple seconds) and restarting to resume iMac operation.  Of course that ruined to sheets of expensive 13x19" glossy photo paper.  Later on I closed Mail and opened iPhoto (alone) and it printed fine.  (1) Why does it do this? and (2) Is there any other way I can interrupt the iMac (rather than forcing it to shut off) so that it will recognize the mouse or trackpad?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    I think its a WiFi problem. I have the same intermittent disconnect problem and report with the router channel conflict detected. I found this article helpful. http://www.computerworld.com/article/2476307/mac-os-x/os-x-mavericks--using-appl e-s-hidden-wi-fi-diagnostics-tool.html
    I have been able to temporarily fix it by reinstalling the Wi-Fi connection from the setup menu on my printer, (Epson WF 7510). But it sometimes disconnects after I shut it down and turn back on later. I haven't come up with a permanent solution that I know will work, but this article shows how do do wireless diagnostics. I've just started to try to figure it out. It is currently working so the diagnostic tool says everything is okay. The next time I'm unable to print I will run the diagnostics again and hopefully it will come up with a fix. The article suggests changing the channel of your router. I don't feel confident enough to know that I would make the right choice for a different channel. However if I keep running the diagnostic over time I might be able to figure it out.

  • Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly? I used to search for a name and it would find it in All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?

    Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly?
    I used to search for a name and it would find it in One or All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?

    I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
    Still hoping someone out there can help me.
    thanks,

  • Why does it take so long to download a podcast on Mac as opposed to iPhone?

    Performed a speed test of ISP and results were roughly 40/40. Why does it take 3 hours to download a 22MB podcast on iTunes via Mac?

    I have the exact same problem. I purchased apple tv several years ago, and every time I go to rent or buy a movie it takes anywhere from 3 to 7 hours to download the movie. There is no spur of the moment "hey lets rent a movie tonight" because I know it will take overnight to complete the download. I've checked my internet speed and it spot on. I've noticed other threads with people having the same problem but no one seems to have a solution.

  • TS3367 why does my screen freeze while using face time?

    Why does my screen freeze on my iphone 4 while using face time? I am connected to wi-fi and internet is working fine.

    Is your iPhone storage capacity full or close to it?
    Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release. A reset is similar to computer restart.

  • Why does it take so long to download software like Adobe to a Mac laptop

    I just recently bought a MacBook Pro and I am installing Adobe Reader and it is taking sooooo long to install.  I have been installing since 8:30 pm and its now 10:27 and its only up to 42%.  Why does it taking so long?  Also I have downloading other software and it took forever as well.  Why does it take son long to download software to the Mac?

    Something is obviously wrong.
    Stop the download and take the machine back to Apple as you have 90 days free support.
    They will test the machine to see if it's a hardware issue or a problem with the Mac itself.
    If they say it's fine and it surfs/downloads fast on their connections, then it's likely something wrong with your home network or router.
    Did you by any chance change your DNS settings in Network?
    This could be the problem, delete what you entered and reboot the machine, the ISP's default DNS settings will return.
    To OpenDNS? On the router? Are you using your own router of it someone managing it for you?
    Are you over 21 and can you legally surf for adult sites? If some sort of filtering is on, this could be the cause.
    OpenDNS doesn't have servers everywhere, so it causes certain downloads from Akamai servers to come from a lot farther away than your ISP servers.
    Have you run Internet speed tests? Using other machines on your network are they fast?
    Is your router or modem old? Did you power them off, wait 30 seconds and power them back on?
    It's rather a lot to try to figure out network issues, you may have to call in a local professional.

  • Why does Firefox comsume my computer when in Yahoo Mail

    For the past week, something is effecting Firefox when in Yahoo Mail. It does not happen at any other web site.
    # I do not allow automatic updates of any kind. No changes or additions (unless sneaky stealth attacks?) had been made to Firefox since update to version 12 in May. The only add-on I have is the Mozilla Archive Format, which I've been using for years.
    # Windows and various security applications are up-to-date as of very recently.
    # Several up-to-date anti-malware programs have found nothing on my computer.
    # I tried Chrome and Opera. They do not have this problem, but I don't like either of them.
    # I uninstalled Firefox, deleted everything related I could find, downloaded the current version (13) from Mozilla, installed, and rebuilt all my preferences. I got my bookmarks back by restoring from a bookmark backup. This changed nothing.
    # I tried "Restart With Add-ons Disabled" in Firefox, but that did not help.
    Firefox starts doing something very intensive once in Yahoo Mail. Sometimes it is in this state when it displays the first screen of mail boxes after I sign on. More often I can do a little bit of something, such as open a mail box or a single e-mail therein before the problem starts. From my perspective it starts this aberrant behavior just when I click on the next thing: open another e-mail; open a different mail box; delete an e-mail.
    Normally while in Yahoo Mail, or at any other web site, Task Manager reports CUP usage at from 0% to 5%, occasionally a few percent more for a very brief flash. When this Yahoo Mail thing starts
    # The CPU usage jumps to 25%, with occasional bursts up to 30+%. Task Manger shows it is due to the process firefox.exe*32.
    # The browser will not respond to any controls. I can do nothing with the keyboard or mouse. No menu will open. This has never ended by itself.
    # Task Manager reports the immediate drop of network activity to zero -- nothing going on over the phone line -- or so Windows thinks. Disconnecting the phone line does not release the browser or lower its CPU use.
    # A few times the entire computer has locked. I have only been able to get out of it with the hardware reset button.
    # Sometimes Firefox is totally unresponsive itself but I can cancel it via Task Manager.
    # Sometimes the one and only thing in Firefox that responds is the "X" in the upper right hand corner. The browser screen disappears immediately.
    # BUT, Task Manager shows the process firefox.exe*32 still running at 25% CPU. I can end said process with Task Manager, whereby CPU usage immediately drops to 0%, or somewhere close.
    # Whatever is going on through Firefox prevents me from doing what I want -- and it seems probable that IT is doing something I don't want done, although I have not yet seen symptoms of that.
    Where can I go from here?

    Hi,
    You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
    If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

  • Why does it take 3 hours to download a movie

    Why does it take 3 hours to download a movie on apple tv?  Is there a solution??

    What kind of internet connection speed do you have?
    If you have 3Mbps DSL like I do, and are renting movies on either Apple TV model in HD Format, then it will take quite a while. Actually 3 Hours for an HD Movie would be failry fast here at my home. They are just large files. If I'm going to rent an HD movie, I will usually rent it earlier in the day and watch it when I'm ready.
    If you have an adequate internet connection, and just want to rent movies on the fly and don't care about HD, on the AppleTV v2 you can go to Settings / General / iTunes Store / Video Resolution... and select Standard Definition. With our 3Mbps DSL connection, when we rent a movie it is generally "Ready to Play..." within about 2 minutes at the most (enough time to grab a beer and get comfortable)
    As far as I know, Standard Definition movies still show on the same menu as the HD version with the ATV v1. I preferred that menu format myself because you didn't have to change the option in settings when you wanted to go back and forth.

  • HT1600 Why does it take so long to download movies

    Why does it take so long to download movies

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this atwww.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • Why does my iTunes freeze up?

    Why does my iTunes freeze up every time it is opened.  It only operates for about 10 -15 seconds and then freezes.  I've tried installing it again several times, but with no different results.  Can anyone give me something to try?  Have I downloaded some program that I shouldn't have?  Thank you for any suggestions that you can give me.

    Are you running iTunes 10.5.3?

  • Why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

    why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

    Since you cannot download iTunes on an iPod touch, this would not seem to be the correct forum for this question. I'd suggest you post full details of your problem in either the iTunes for Mac forum or the iTunes for Windows forum, as applicable to your system.
    Regards.

  • Why does the video freeze half way through my movie and the audio keep going?

    Why does my movie freeze half way through and the audio continues?

    Most likely this is due to running out of virtual memory. You can reset virtual memory by restarting your Mac.
    Long term you may want to consider purchasing more memory.
