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?

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.

Back button only works about 50% of the time. Have to hit it twice, sometimes three times before it works. Problem is intermittent. Firefox 3.6.10 on Mac OS 10.6.4 (same on both MacBook and iMac machines).

Why cant my imessages sync across both iphone and ipad

why cant my imessages sync across both iphone and ipad same with face time

I looked into your question and believe I may have a solution for you.
Your iMessages likely aren't syncing because of a bug in iOS 5. Syncing iMessages between iOS devices is supposed to happen automatically, but sometimes it does not.
You could likely manually activate syncing by navigating to Setttings --> Messages --> Receive At --> Caller ID on both your iPad and iPhone and selecting your Apple ID.

How can I make my Apple tv remote stop interacting with my MacBook and my iMac? Everytime I press the reote, the sound will go up or down on my computers or they will wake up.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences/Security/General)
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

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.

Why is my Internet connection hanging on both MacBook and Mac mini, but not PCs, Xbox, or iOS devices?

I have a MacBook pro and Mac mini both running the latest version of lion. I've had this issue with my MacBook for sometime now, but just dealt with it and figured it was isolated, but now I am finding its not.
Essentially, I will open up safari, or Chrome, and the first few pages will load fine. Sometimes I will get lucky and be able to browse normally, but after awhile, safari just hangs there and stops loading. I can close the window, and open a few more pages before it does it again. Both my mini and MacBook do this, but only on my home network. My MacBook runs perfectly fine on my work wi if, and other wi fis, so I definitely know its my home modem. If I wait it out I can surf the Internet again, but this dead time is absolutely killing me. It just randomly stalls, on both computers.
I current have time Warner cable roadrunner, with a cable modem gateway. The issue was happening on a straight connection. I had hoped getting a time capsule and connecting to that network would solve things, but it didn't. Interestingly enough, my Pcs, Xbox,and all 4 of my iPads and iPhones work just fine on the wifi, so there has to be a communication issues with the MacBook and mini with the cable router.
I've tried messing with lions network DNS servers and tried opendns ones, but those didn't work. Sometimes I can fix the problem for a few hours by power cycling the modem and router, but I shouldn't have to do that over and over every time it's an issue. I've also tried removing and adding the wi if connections, but that.works for a minute or two and then the problem resumes.
Now, I have my time capsule connected to the gateway, and tuned the time Warner modem wireless off, which didn't help of course, but at least I'm properly backed up.
I'm not sure what the issue is. I've even tried typing an ip address of apple during a dead time to see if that worked and didn't.
Does anyone have any other ideas? I'm pretty much at my wits end in this, any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

Why do I get "Invalid URL" / "404 - Not Found" notifications on both MacBook and iPhone?

This happens only on my home wifi network, and only to selective sites--usually Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Flickr, Instagram, and, most recently and most annoyingly, Google. It happens on both Chrome and Firefox on my computer, as well as Safari on my iPhone and the apps for those sites.
This happens to all my family's Mac devices. Our network is unsecured (very stupid, I know--it's a long story involving my very tech-unsavvy and stubborn parents).
Restarting my computer, clearing my cache, using secure connections doesn't help at all. The strangest result is sometimes it won't just give me an error message, I'll be directed to another site in entirely--usually MySpace, Yahoo!, and sometimes some weird Swedish fashion blog.
Please help, this is very very very frustrating as sometimes I am blocked from a certain site for hours at a time.
Thanks!

Mail is Slow between Exchange 2010 and 2013 During Co-Existance Transition

Hello,
I recently migrated from a single Exchange 2003 server to a single Exchange 2010 server
I am now trying to Migrate from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
I have a test user on Exchange 2013, and Internet Mail works fine and quickly both inbound and outbound.
However, when I try and send between a 2010 user to my 2013 user, delivery takes around 10 minutes.
On the 2013 server I see health check messages, and my 2010 user's message stuck in retry status. The messages eventually clear and the mail is delivered. Any ideas what is causing this delay?
In terms of connectors I have all the defaults. And I created 1 for internal relays from devices. Which works fine.
I have two Exchange 2013 servers configured in a DAG, but I don't have a load balance in place as of yet. So only server 1 is being accessed as the CAS.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, the mail flow is slow only between Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013 server. If I misunderstand your meaning, please feel free to let me know.
If yes, I’d like to confirm if there are multiple NICs on your Exchange servers. And you can refer to the following thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/66f0629f-21fb-444b-b3f1-99ed8a4f52b2/slow-mail-flow?forum=exchangesvrsecuremessaging
We have ONLY 1 network adapter, but if we select "All network adapters" instead of Hyper-V, we will get delays.
Thanks,

Install on both Macbook and iPad

Hi everyone,
I would like to know if is is possible to buy an application only once and then install it on both my iPad and my Macbook ?
(the app exists on both "stores" and as it is expensive I don't want to buy it twice)
Thanks!!

As Csound1 stated they aren't the same, but from looking at their website the functionality may be the same or very similar. http://applications.3d4medical.com/essential_anatomy_5/
You may want to contact them directly regarding functionality differences: http://applications.3d4medical.com/contact/

If I buy the iPad/iPhone version can I download for free on my Mac?
Unfortunately no. Separate apps will have to be purchased if you'd like to use on your iPad/iPhone and Mac. The reason for this is that each app runs on a different operating system -- iPad/iPhone on iOS and Mac on OSX. Because of this, apps for each platform have to be developed from the ground up and are sold separately through the Mac and iTunes App Stores. We'd love the ability to offer discounts if customers purchased apps for both platforms, however, Apple does not provide a vehicle for us to do so.
Also note that in addition to the original cost there are In App Purchases that may further increase the cost (at least for the iPad version). The following quote is from https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/essential-anatomy-5/id596684220?mt=8
IN APP PURCHASES:
In-app purchases allow additional muscle and skeletal content to be downloaded and accessed from within the app. These boosts add muscle insertion and origin points, skeletal bone parts and surfaces and 100s of animations detailing movements for each articulation.

My iTunes downloads are really slow on both Windows and iPhone 5

I've been experiencing slow download speed on both Windows and my iPhone 5.
I've done a few things like reset my phone network settings, enabled iTunes through my Windows firewall, changed the DNS but none has actually worked out! I really need your help because I'm starting to get really ****** off with how Apple renders its services. On a side note, I've unlimited quota so the speed won't be throttled down. Thank you.

Unlimited quota does not mean unlimited speed.
What is the actual download speed from your ISP? Test it using a site like http://www.speedtest.net
