Yosemite and mail - BIG problems with memory leak

Our small company has had significant problems since upgrading (?) to Yosemite, which by all we could glean from Apple would be a relatively bug free install. At random times, usually while composing an e-mail, the mail program will just spike in memory consumption, going from a couple hundred Mb of RAM consumption to over 70 Gb in just 3-5 minutes. This obviously causes the entire machine to come to a standstill and the mail process needs to be killed. A cascading problem is that when this happens any other programs will also become non-responsive, and they also will need to be killed, often at the loss of work. I've talked with the support people at Apple and disappointingly they seem to be unaware that this is an issue, or more likely they are aware of it (I mean, just do a search of "Yosemite mail memory" and see what you get) and want to downplay that the release has been a HUGE failure for MANY people. After about 20 of these application memory events since upgrading over this past weekend at our company I would like to see where Apple is on fixing this. BTW Apple, your user base is fairly sophisticated with computing, and having your online assistants continue to try and point the problem at the users - who are all having the EXACT SAME ISSUE - is alienating your user base. I've been using Apple for over 20 years and this is the worst release you've ever had. I think you're well on your way to becoming Microsoft in 1994, we need the old Apple company back.

I have the same problem and after a few days I am thinking seriously about abandoning Apple mail and .... going back to Outlook, I do not like MS, but may not have another option. Any suggestions.
I am amazed that Apple does not give any information about the problem. It does look like they are loosing their touch and appear to be following the Microsoft and Blackberry path.
Within a small company like mine, another few days of this and it will be impossible to keep it.
Hate to say it, but for the first timewith Apple I miss the old OS, it did not look as good but at least it worked..

  • Yosemite and Mail sort problem

    Hi,
    I typically have a few-hundred items in my Mail inbox. Prior to upgrading to Yosemite, when I had an email highlighted and clicked either "From" or "Subject" Mail would sort all of the email by that corresponding field and jump down to all of the messages that fit that criteria.
    After the upgrade, I can still obviously sort, but for example, if I sort by name, the view doesn't "jump", meaning all the A's come to the top and I have to scroll down to find the highlighted message.
    This is a bit annoying and slows me down quite a bit in terms of productivity, ie reading all the messages from a particular person or from a particular chain.
    Does anyone know how to toggle this back?

    Have you gotten any replies, help, hints on this?  I have this problem, too, and it is really getting annoying.  I have professional mail folders with hundreds of messages and I used to heavily rely on the "sort but stay on this message" feature.  I just assumed that that's how every mail program works and how every mail program should work.

  • There appear to be big problems with Mavericks Mail, particularly if it's used for Gmail. Have other users noticed that it slows to a crawl and can't reload the contents of a folder instantly....Is there a fix coming?

    There is a large thread relating to Gmail, but nothing that sounds like that.
    Nobody here knows what Apple is going to do.
    You might try removing the Gmail account and then add it back in.

  • MSI 645Ultra and problem with memory.

    Hello.
    I have big problem with my mobo. I can't run 645Ultra mobo (MSI 6547) with other memory than installed actually. Now I have Samsung DDR333 128MB (one-sided), and everything works well. But I tried to install another modules (2 pieces - 256MB DDR266 double-sided). After install one of those modules, my comp doesn't start. Mobo only beeps and there has no signal on my monitor. With installed two modules - my memory (ddr333) and one of those 256MB ddr266, computer runs, but POST shows me only 128MB :(.
    What is going on? Does this mobo supports memory other than ddr333 (user manual says - YES, but now I'm not sure).

    Hi
    I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
    The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
    This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
    What can I do?
    thank you a lot.

    There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
    - Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
    - Adobe Reader (free)
    Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

    What you need to do is boot into Safe Mode. Then delete the VGA Drivers.
    After that boot normally and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
    Take Care,

  • Big problem with Airport Extreme and Vivax Provider in Brazil

    Hello guys.
    I live in Brazil and I bought my Airport Extreme in a recent trip to USA.
    For some years I was a client of Telefonica and had an ADSL link, I had a D'Link G604T to do both the modem and router operation in the same box. I was happy with my connection of 1Mbps.
    In a recent promotion of Vivax I switched to a cable connection to have both TV and Internet at the same operator, my link now has 3Mbps.
    With this pack I also received free one RCA cable modem model DCM425B, it was installed fine in one computer only. Everything was fine my connection was faster the old one.
    So I went to install the Airport Extreme to make things even better.
    After I installed I went to see the web status of my modem, all parts were looking fine, but the modem could not see the computer. Bad sign.
    I talked to Vivax support people and apparently it was a problem with their network setup and they manage to make it right. My model now sees my computer.
    After that problem was solved I could not make AE to work with the modem, it had the green light and the setup looked fine, but I could not open any site. I tried to turn off my modem and AE, waited some minutes and turned on first my modem and after it was up I turned on AE. All lights looked fine but again no connection to any site.
    I called again the Vivax support center and they tried to help me but the don't know AE and they could not help me with all the details but said there was 2 10.x.x.x coming from my side. So I tried to use in bridge mode. I also selected the 192.x.x.x range instead of 10.x.x.x as default.
    After many setups and turn off and on again my connection is working but I have a big problem with wireless. If I turn it on I loose my connection, it seems that AE sends 2 equal ethernet address to Vivax and their network don't like it cutting me off.
    So my connection setup is like this:
    RCA Cable modem model DCM425B at 3Mbps using a 200.x.x.x ip
    Airport Extreme connected to a Mac and a Windows PC by wire using the 192.x.x.x range ip
    Wireless is off
    Bridge mode is on
    This the only way I could make it work.

    After a firmware update it worked fine.

  • Very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and

    I have discovered a very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and java instruction "request.getParameterNames()".
    Suppose you have something like this, to render some datas form a Java Beans :
    <h:dataTable value="#{TablesDb2Bean.myDataDb2ListSelection}" var="current" border="2" width="50%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="text-align: center">
    <h:column>
    <f:facet name="header">
    <h:outputText value="Name"/>
    </f:facet>
    <h:outputText id="nameTableDb2" value="#{current.db2_name_table}"/>
    </h:column>
    </h:dataTable>
    Everything works fine...
    Suppose you want to get the name/value pairs for id="nameTableDb2" and #{current.db2_name_table} to process them in a servlet. Here is the HTML generated :
    <td><span <span class="attribute-name">id=<span class="attribute-value">"j_id_jsp_1715189495_22:0:nameTableDb2">my-table-db2-xxxxx</span></td>
    You think you can use the java instructions :
    Enumeration NamesParam = request.getParameterNames();
    while (NomsParam.hasMoreElements()) {
    String NameParam = (String) NamesParam.nextElement();
    out.println("<h4>"++NameParam+ "+</h4>);
    YOU ARE WRONG : request.getParameterNames() wants the syntax *name="nameTableDb2" but JSF must use id="nameTableDb2" for "<h:outputText"... So, you can't process datas in a FORM generated with JSF in a Servlet ! Perhaps I have made an error, but really, I wonder which ?

    While I certainly appreciate ejb's helpful responses, this thread shows up a difference in perspective between how I read the forum and how others do. Author ejb is correct in advising you to stay inside JSF for form processing if form processing is what you want to do.
    However, I detect another aspect to this post which reminds me of something Marc Andreesen once said when he was trying to get Netscape off the ground: "there's no such thing as bad HTML."
    In this case, I interpret ungar's request as a new feature request. Can I phrase it like this?
    "Wouldn't it be nice if I could render my nice form with JSF but, in certain cases, when I REALLY know what I'm doing" just post out to a separate servlet? I know that in this case I'll be missing out on all the nice validation, conversion, l10n, i18n, ajax, portlet and other features provided by JSF".
    If this is the case, because it really misses the point of JSF, we don't allow it, but we do have an issue filed for it
    https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=127
    If you can't wait for it to be fixed, you could decorate the FormRenderer to fix what you want.
    I have an example in my JSF book that shows how to do this decoration. http://bit.ly/edburnsjsf2

    If I've understood you correctly then the ALLEXCEPT function may be what you're after and it could be applied in a similar way to the following...
    =
    RANKX(
    ALL(Table1),
    CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS(table1),
    ALLEXCEPT(Table1, Table1[ContactReason])
    DENSE
    If this has missed the mark, would it be possible to clarify the requirement further?

    Hello community I have a big problem with my iphone 4s as precent problem with wifi and ios7. my phone was a champ when actualize this, eh degrade searched everything but I can not because I get the error 3194. I want a solution please

    This support document http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451 relates to the 3194 error. Generally this error has to do with trying to install an iOS that is not the most current. Maybe you tried to jailbreak the phone, or downgrade iOS? Any of this apply to you?

    got big problem with my iphone4 , its not charging as it did before i updated (5.0.1) Now its charging very slowly and it doesnt show the charging sign on screen..

    How do you know its charging very very slowly? Is the screen back on?
    Once a month you should charge your phone to 100% then drain it, then charge it back up to 100%.
    Just leave the phone in and do what is said above.
    How long do you think it will take to charge to 100%?

  • VERY BIG PROBLEMS WITH MY ZEN MICRO AND MEDIASOURCE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! PLEASE RESPOND

    Ok so a while back I had to give up my computer because it wasn't working.
    I thought that with my new computer I'd be able to transfer all of my music from my zen micro onto my new computer.
    Now my new computer is set up and I have installed creative mediasource and everything. I started to transfer my music from my zen onto my computer. My first 2 songs transfered successfully onto my computer. On the third song, I get this message:
    "Unable to read file, file may be in use, missing, or corrupted."
    I thought that maybe it was just that one song so I shrugged it off. But then it says the same thing for every single other song that i have! Only my first 2 songs out of my entire music library on my zen will transfer!!!
    Please i really need your help!!!
    And say that there is no hope in getting the rest of my songs to transfer and i have to download 094 songs from limewire? I'll surely be arrested for downloading that much! What should i do if i must download all of them?
    And one more problem with my zen: Some of my Jump Little Children songs are doing something weird. The song will be fine and then a clip from another song will play during it! And then press next and it just keeps playing all of my Jump songs in order even though my player is on shuffle and they do the same thing with the clip from another song interupting it. Whats going on?
    Most importantly though, i really need the questions answered about transfering from my zen to my computer because i'll be getting a new player soon. But this is my entire music library at stake!! PLEASE RESPOND!!!

  • Having big problems with Creative Zen Micro Photo!! I need much urgent help!

    Hi. I am having a big problem with my MP3 Creative Zen Micro Photo device at the computer.Here is the thing:Before I bought this I had the regular Zen Micro & having fun with it. I had no problems with that when I used the Media Explorer to transfer songs. So I bought the Zen Micro Photo & installed it my computer. As normal I used the Media Explorer to transfer songs & pictures.So I reinstalled Windows XP at my computer, and when I installed the CD that followed to transfer new songs, the Windows said that it's an unknown thing I have connected in the USB.So I installed Service Pack & 2. I have tried to install drivers from the cd but it seems that there are no drivers on the cd! The big problem is that when I connect the MP3 to the computer, it doesn't read it's a Zen Micro, it's just unknown! So the Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer program doesn't work & I can't transfer songs or picture on it! And it just happened after I re-installed Windows on my computer. The same thing happened on my brother's computer after he re-installed windows. And when I connect the MP3 to the USB, it says that it's not a USB 2.0, but .! And I am sure it is 2.0 because it has always been like that before I re-installed windows. Also the MP3 does not re-charge when I put it my computer! The battery is just the same, it tries to do it but it doesn't. So I am using my sisters computer to charge the MP3 & transfer songs. I have tried everything but I can't seem to understand what the problem is? I have never experienced something like this before, and I really hope you can help me with this! To be honest I think what I am missing is the driver. So can someone PLEASE provide me the link for the driver? I have downloaded all those 3 on www.creative.com, but they are none of them! Also that playforsure firmawre thingy does not work because it sais that I have to connect my MP3, and it is connected already!Please reply as quick as possible! Thanks a lot for you kind help!
    I have also sent this mail to creative support! But please help me I have had this problem for almost 2 months now! =(Message Edited by anakwalajinn on 05-0-2006 08:47 PM
