Why is mail so slow and uses all of system resources?
I want to use Mail on my Macbook Air 2010. I use it on my iPhone with no problems at all. I have several gmail accounts and me.com accounts. I have tried even just using only my main account in Mail. I am now using a system resource monitor and can see that Mail takes up 100% of resources while appearing to do nothing. When I click on Sent or Drafts, it often shows nothing when I know that there should be stuff there. I have tried "rebuild" which did not seem to do anything. Also, it takes forever to quit.
I cannot understand why this program does not work for me. I have not done anything out the ordinary that I am aware of. Does it not work well with gmail accounts? If so, why does the iPhone version handle gmail so well?
I will try that, just using my iCloud account only. I just want to make sure that when I mail a link from safari or a photo from iPhoto, that it actually goes out and goes in a reasonable amount of time.
Mail for me is a system resource hog. I am afraid to open it.
I stopped all processes and deleted all accounts and started over with the gmail account. This time, I chose the option to not store anything locally. It warned me that I would not be able to read email offline. When I clicked "save" from preferences, it froze for about an hour with CPU maxed out. I am going to force quit mail, delete the account again and just go with my fresh iCloud account. I can set my gmail account to forward messages and then I can freely delete them from the iCloud account knowing that they are still there in gmail. I guess this will work ok. I just won't be able to send out from my gmail account from Mail which will confuse some recipients and then lead to people sending mail to the wrong account.
I wish there was an option in Mail to "act like iOS Mail." I believe that would solve my problem.

Yosemite slow and using all memory
Hi, Mavs was working great on my mid 2010 MB Pro 13", but after upgrading to Yosemite, it's slower than molasses in January. It's old and has a lot of software. Any tips to tune this baby up?

You can go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > your account > Login Items and click the "-" button. This won't delete anything. It only keeps the application from launching right away when you log onto your machine. Later, you can put a few of them back just as easily.
The other items will be harder. You must track down the vendor-provided uninstallers or uninstallation instructions. Maybe those "[Support]" links will help. Don't try to remove those kinds of files manually. There is no way to tell where they all might be. If you only delete some of them, you could leave your system worse off than it is. -
I've been having a problem with FireFox on any machine/OS I use it on ever since v3.3. When it crashes, it will remain running in the task manager eating full resources which is often in excess of 1gb memory consumed. When I close the browser manually, it will remain running in the task manager, also eating full resources, about 90% of the time. This happens on at least 4 different computers I use on a weekly basis and it's extremely frustrating. I'm no computer expert, but what in the world could it be doing in the background when I have closed it that required over a gig of memory? Is this a normal problem? Is FireFox using people's computers/bandwidth for some sort of Grid computing project without the users being made aware of it? I love FireFox, but I'm no longer recommending it to anyone until this issue is resolved. I've spoken to several other people who've noticed the same thing, so this is not an isolated problem.

Why the video is slow and stutter on the viewer clip?
Why the video is slow and stutter when I drag the mouse on the cursor to check from left to right?
I just upgraded to imac 20" and I had never had this problem with my old mac. The old mac seemed to be smoother than this one.
The only difference was my 1 TB external hardrive is linkup using USB 2.0 this time round since I've not purchased the Firewire 800 yet. Does using USB 2.0 cause this problem?I noticed something from my previous iMac. When I drag the cursor from left to right, there is no sound when I'm dragging. Thus, that makes me think that the absence of audio produce smoother flow. How do I disable the audio while I'm working on the viewer then?

Why is Mail so slow on 10.8.2?
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Why is Mail so slow on both macbook and my imac?
I'm not very competant in email technology. I started to use Mail when I got my iMac, but I find it is always very slow and I have to routinely chase it up-same problem with my Macbook. I find I end up using live.com.au cos it's always there for me. I'm happy to accept it's pilot error, but tell me what i do wrong:)
Do you mean Mail is slow at starting or at showing you that you've got new mail? Because if it's the latter then you can change the frequency it checks if you've got new mail. For me the default was 'every 5 minutes', so you can change it to like 'every minute' or something. Does that solve the problem maybe?

Early 2013 13" MacBook Pro runs slow and uses a lot of RAM, why and what can be done?
Problem description:
My computer is using a lot of RAM. Wondering if there’s a hardware issue, or a software issue, or something else. I currently have no programs open in the Doc, besides EntreCheck. and the RAM is showing about 75% used. I’m looking for suggestions on what I can do to speed it up and make it more functional, and efficient for doing design work. I recently upgraded from the original 4GB RAM (2x2GB), and from the original HD to a 512 GB SSD drive, and upgraded to Yosemite. Perhaps that was too much for this machine? Please help with anything that I can do to make it better! Thanks in advance!
I have a recent back-up, I'm open to saving user files and starting from scratch with the current hardware, etc... but would need some direction on how to do this. I did upgrade myself using Apple provided instructions.
Here are the EntreCheck results:

Here's the new EtreCheck that I just ran. At a glance, it seems I may have missed deleting some things or they are stored in an additional location? I haven't jumped into anything yet to really test if there's a difference in performance for me. Once I do I will post that information.

Mail acting weird and lost all emails yesterday
I live in Australia using the Telstra Bigpond internet services. Bigpond is a POP server (POP3 I think) and is in the process of migrating customers to the IMAP system. I am on the POP system.
I successfully, I thought, installed the Mavericks update and all seemed well until I noticed that when I went to collect my mail from the Bigpond server I would see the progress bar (for the incoming messages) flash quickly across the screen saying "10 of 10" but no messages were in my 'IN BOX'. I checked the Bigpond server and there were none sitting on the server and all had been delivered to my in box - supposedly!.
I thought I would test the outgoing and incoming by sending a test message and 3 of 3 were sent (I only sent one). When the message come back it came back in a flash as 6 of 6 but was not in my inbox at all.
I contacted Apple support (still working with them on this problem) and we made some changes to my junk mail settings and removed all 'Rules' and now the emails are coming in - I have lost a full days emails and don't know if I can get them back so far I can't. The mail program is still stating 3 of 3 incoming when just one message comes in or 4 of 4 when one is sent (the numbers being sent and received bear no relationship to the numbers coming in nor being sent and are completely, it seems, random.
I also have a 'flagged' message inidicated in the flagged box under the 'Inbox' but no message is there at all and I cannot remove the flag.
I have not done any changes to my mail program at all to create this problem that did not exist before I installed Mavericks and I have not attempted to try anything with iCloud mail before I can see a resolution to my laptop mail problems.
For information my 15" macbook pro is compatible with the Mavericks upgrade and I have no other obvious problems at this point that I can identify - Photoshop CS5 seems to be working OK and I have had no problems with the Windows 7 partition (bootcamp) after installing Mavericks. Just Mail at the moment.
Any thoughts on how I can remove the 'flag' for a non existant message and get the incoming and outgoing 'counter' to read accurately?
ThanksHi Tuttle,
I'm glad you are not experiencing the problem. However, there is NO confusion here - the numbers are random and do NOT represent the incoming or the outgoing numbers of messages as you would normally expect. This morning I got 195 of 195 and got no messages coming in at all! I have been using Macs for more than a decade and this has never happened before. This has only happened for the first time when I changed to Mavericks and is happening on both of my laptops (macbook air and Macbook Pro 15inch) - it is NOT the computer.
"To my eyes, the numbers we see in the Activity pane increase in increments of 1 with each message that is sent or received by a given mail account, starting with "1 of 1" after Mail is launched in any given session" - of course this is what you would expect to happen.
If the problem doesn't exist for you then your comments, as well intended as they are, are not really going to help - it is a bit like me telling you it is raining outside but you are in a railway tunnel - what rain? I am grateful for your contribution and interest so please don't take offence. The issue is known to Apple Techs - they tell me that they can see the same thing happening on their computers - and their explanation of why it is happening is somewhat frustrating and definitely not sitting well with me.
I suppose at the end of the day, if I get my emails I should not be too concerned but for those having this experience it is still a bit lame.

ICloud Mail is slow and unresponsive
For the past week iCloud mail has been very slow and unresponsive. I've checked the iCloud mail server status and everything is okay according to Apple. If I use mail in iCloud in my browser, it is often very slow and sometimes unresponsive in the middle of my typing. I have to wait 20-30 seconds for it to respond so I can continue typing.
When using iCloud mail on my iPhone, it is very slow. Sometimes it does not load images in email or takes a very long time to do so. Other times it just doesn't update after I read my emails. I can pull down the list to refresh but it doesn't update and says I still have unread messages when I don't. A couple of minutes later it will refresh the unread number.
This has all just started happening for me in the last week. How can I report this to apple? It seems as all I can do is go through support and call them or have them call me. I don't have the time to do this when all I want to do is report that something is down or not working properly so they can look into it.Hello Scott,
as Apple states on the Apple System Status site (http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/): "If you are experiencing an issue not listed here, contact support."
This is the only way I could think of to report an issue. -
HT1338 Is there a Mac System Clean-up? My computer is running very slow and freeze all the times
I don't know why my computer is running very slow and keeps freezing all the times. It would take at least 2-3 min to load up after the not using it for 5 min. For instance when I type my paper or doing anything on the computer and leave for a fews min after come back it would not start and the icon keeps on spinning.
ThanksPretty much all "clean-up" utilities will just make things worse.
You need to determine what it is that is causing the problem.
How much RAM do you have?
For the following, report what you get when the system is running slow and beachballing.
Open Activity Monitor (Utilities folder) and click on System Memory tab at the bottom of the screen. What does it say for Page Outs?
Also, at the top of the window, select All Processes. Click on the %CPU header until the arrow points down. Anything pop up at the top of the list that is using a very high percentage of CPU?
What you describe can be caused by incompatible third-party software. Boot into Safe mode and see if the problems still exist. Safe mode will be a little slower than normal, but you shouldn't see the system freeze up.

Why can't I make Lightroom use all the CPU-Power (all cores) available for generating Previews?
Dear Lightroom Team,
I've been a Lightroom user since the very first Beta, and I am truly happy with the work you deliver. It changed my way of editing forever, and you guys keep improving it.
Yet there is that one question that bothers me, and that i'm looking for an answer for.
My Workflow has the generate Previews checkbox checked by standard. I usually import between 150 and 2000 photos at once, on occaions it can be up to 5000 photos. Generating Previews always takes a significant amount of time, and Lightroom is only using 25% of my CPU Power while doing so. (using a MacBook Pro 8,2)
I understand the concept, that only using 25% CPU enables me to use the computer while waiting for the Previews. But most of the time I just grab myself a cup of coffee, do the dishes or other stuff, while waiting for the Previews. Usually I rund out of things to do, because it takes ages to Process all the photos. So I would really love to make Lightroom use ALL the cpu power possible.
I'm sure you guys have spent a lot of thoughts while coding this and have a very good answer handy. Looking forward reading it!
all the best,

On my four-year old Windows 7 i7-860 system LR4.4.1 takes ~0.5 sec. per Canon 5D MKII 21Mp raw image to render 'Standard-Sized' previews with LR Catalog Settings 'Standard Preview Size' set to '2048' pixels. I consider that pretty fast!
I usually build 1:1 full-size previews on import, which takes ~5.0 sec. per image. Processor utilization varies between 15-50% for Standard-Sized previews and 15-65% for 1:1 previews. I consider this pretty slow, but it doesn't stop me from working on the images inside LR's Library and Develop modules.
I wait until 'Copy and import photos' has completed and can see Preview Building has started. LR doesn't slow-down much even with the 1:1 preview building going on in the background. Have you tried working in LR during the preview building (i.e. sorting, rating, keywording, and Develop adjustments)? -
Searching Gmail messages in Apple Mail 8.0 and hiding All Mail
As recommended by several tech sites, I enabled All Mail from my Gmail account to show in IMAP, and Apple Mail 8.0 created a new archive under the Trash icon named "All Mail (Google)". It took several hours to downloaded all my 63000 messages and they are now all stored there (based on the mailbox size in Library>Mail) but still show (as aliases I guess) in the respective mailboxes that I originally assigned them to.
Now, when I search for a message in Apple Mail, it finds it but shows its location as in "All Mail" instead of the mailbox (or label) that I had assigned it to. Is there a way to hide the All Mail archive so that the search function does not look there first?
I used to have All Mail disabled in IMAP, and the search worked as I wanted, but the issue was that all my 100 mailboxes had to be synchronized every time a message arrived, was deleted, or was moved from any Gmail mailbox. This means that it constantly cycled in the background through my mailboxes and new mail sound notifications were delayed until all mailboxes had been synced.
Enabling All Mail to show in IMAP has solved the issue of constant syncing to all mailboxes, but it has introduced the problem with searching my mailbox. It has also meant that every new message that arrives is displayed both in the Inbox and in the All Mail, and I don't need the latter.
I opened a ticket a year ago about the syncing issues to all mailboxes with bugreport at Apple, and nothing has been solved. Thanks for any help on how to hide the All Mail Google archive without disabling All Mail in IMAP, or any other workaround to search messages by mailbox without having syncing issues.Still having this issue and accidentally hit solved.

Why is clone brush slowing and lagging?
Before I explain my Lightroom issue, I want to describe my hardware platform because it may be relevant to solving my problem.
Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0 mghz cpu
8 gigs Corsair ram
New Invidia EGVA GeForce 750 Ti with 2 gigs (video card)
Corsair 520 watt power supply
4 internal hard drives, all running at 7200 rpm
1 Samsung 250 gig SSD (sold state drive)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, Svc pak 1
Lightroom 5.7
For the last several months I have been working with scanned 35mm slides. These, in some cases, are more than 60 years old. Time and dust have taken their toll and in doing so have provided me with many hours of Lightroom work. Typically, I am rebalancing color casts, exposures, tonal aberrations, noise induced by a careless scanning company, i.e. the usual types of edits one would perform in LR. Additionally, because of dust spots and emulsion abrasions on the slides, I am also making significant use of the Spot Healing Brush, which I use in the clone mode. This is a mighty fine and powerful tool which has allowed me to resurrect many a damaged image.
The scanned slides were returned to me as JPGs, which I have turned into TIF files to help them survive multiple edits and saves. The TIF files I am working with are mostly in the range of 40-45 mbytes.
Here’s my problem. About two weeks ago I began to notice that the more edits I performed on an individual file, the slower and more erratic the clone spotting brush became. This slowdown progressed from a near instantaneous selection and application of a clone patch to a crawling 3 to 4 seconds for the system to select a clone patch with up to 5 or 6 seconds for the patch to be applied to the defect area. Also, when I call the brush erratic, I mean that it jumps around somewhat not allowing me to position it accurately until the previous clone has been applied. Given the amount of work I still have to do on over 1000 slides, this is a state of affairs that is tough to tolerate.
Some of the slides have more than 60 or 70 edits showing in the History window. The vast majority of those edits on a given slide (I estimate 85% or more) represent individually cloned spots. The slowing typically begins at about 15-20 of these cloning edits and gets progressively worse as they accumulate.
So far I have taken the following steps to try to improve the situation. I have cleared the only LR caches I know about, those being the RAW cache and the video cache, neither of which would seem relevant given their names. I have deleted the History steps of images. I have moved my catalogs to the SSD drive. None of this has had a noticeable effect on the situation.
My question is: What’s going on here?
Are clone edits different from other edits in the way they are stored/written/cached?
Are edits typically written immediately to the catalog, or are they cached in ram or in the cpu cache?
What else could be happening to cause this behavior?
I am willing to upgrade my hardware. In fact I have ordered an Intel i7 cpu and appropriate motherboard and 16 gigs of ram. However, before I open these boxes I need more assurance that this upgrade will actually help the condition I am describing and that it is not some kind of hard limitation of Lightroom itself that will remain unrelieved by the upgrade.
I would welcome responses from anyone who could really explain what’s happening, particularly from Adobe staff. Thanks in advance for your help.
Bill GordonHere’s my problem. About two weeks ago I began to notice that the more edits I performed on an individual file, the slower and more erratic the clone spotting brush became.
This is a known issue with Lightroom. Lots of cloning or brushing will cause Lightroom to slow down.
There really isn't much to do about this. You could either:
Get a faster CPU, which should speed things up (whether or not it speeds up enough is unknown)
Do the cloning and brushing in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, where there should be no speed issues in performing these tasks -
Why is my macbook Slow and fan always running
I recently upgraded to Mavericks, and since then my computer has been slow and lagging a lot. I see the perpetual spinning beach ball more than I would like. I have done everything I can think of within my knowledge to rectify the problem but it still seems slow to me. I have unistalled apps, cleared caches, run an antivirus, run onyx and cleanmymac applications. I don't know what else I can do. I also find that my fan is running constantly and when I look at the activity monitor nothing is eating my CPU, in fact it is always below 10%. Here is my most recent Etrescheck. PLEASE HELP!! I'm open to all and any suggestions. Thank YOu
