Upgraded the software on my MacBook Mid 2009 to OS X Lion 10.7.2 and since then experiencing problems with the computer hanging whilst in the middle of something, generally Mail. Can this MacBook support this upgraded software? This problem didn't happen before the upgrade.

I thought this best belonged in OS X Lion discussions even though Mail is affected. I think it may be OS related as the same thing ins happening with my Keychain app.Â
Basically when I open Mail or Keychain Access the app hangs for a long time - about 2-3 minutes before becoming responsive.Â
Mail is not as bad as Keychain. Mail is pretty much fine after the initial delay but Keychain hangs pretty much every time i try to navigate the UI making it unusable.Â

I updated to Lion, but now my mail looks like outlook I want it to look like it did before I updated with the list of messages above which can be sorted easily by date/subject/sender etc.....simply by clicking on header above. Now my messages are on the left and it looks just like the outlook mail account I hate at work? how to make it look like it did before I updated?

My wife has an oldish Mac laptop we bought about 7-8 years ago. Everytime we start is up it tries to open MSNMessenger and fails. This hasn't been a problem in the past but today the computer just hangs when trying to open. I get a couple of error messages that disappear almost too quickly to read. One says something about "DevDetectListner" and another something about "Shared library errors.. Carbon". I can't force quit MSNMessenger from the menu strip at the bottom. If I try to use the ctrl open apple esc command it just restarts and the same problem occurs. If I try to open other applications they quit and an error message appears.

I have 2 x 2Tb external hard drives (Hitachi Touro Desk Pro), both of which have been formatted. I am using one of them for my entire iTunes Library, whilst the other one is being used as a Time Machine back-up for the first external plus the MacBook HD.Â
All is fine with both drives until I go to use Time Machine. The external with the iTunes Library will just lose connection and I get an error message saying that "the disk has not been ejected properly and may result in damge...etc..." - just like the USB cable has been yanked out (which it hasn't). I then have to unplug it from the Mac and unplug it from the power supply, then re-conect it all for it to be able to mount again.Â
Not sure why this is happening and am getting worried that this behaviour is going to damage the drive which has all my iTunes music, TV shows & movies on it, before I get a chance to back it up.Â
Could this be an external drive issue, a cable issue or a Time Machine issue??Â

Recentlly I removed my OpticDrive and installed a Crucial m4 SSD. I activated TRIM for it and formated it into Mac OS X Plus (Journaled). Then I downloaded Lion from the App Store and proceeded to install it into the SSD. After al the process I booted from the SSD, selected that as my default boot drive, and waited for Spotlight to index all the files.
When it finished, I restarted. Then I ran software update and got everything updated; installed JRE and after that restarted again.The problem is that since I installed the OS, apps hang out all the time; the spinning beach ball appears as If I had a 5 years-old mac and 1Gb ram; I check Activity Monitor and it shows that from time to time the apps are hanging out and the they return to functionality; this happens with Safari, Mail, Finder, even Launch Pad and Spotlight.
When I check the disk usage, it shows that on those moments when apps hang, it stops showing read/write data. Then when apps stat to work it shows again the reading and writing. I have booted from my "main" Snow Leopard HDD, erased the SSD and repeated the process of installing and all the previous stuff, and the problem lasts. When I restart sometimes it takes 10-15 seconds, but in other cases it takes almost 60 seconds.

I have a mid 2007 white 17" iMac, a mid 2007 mac mini, a late 2007 20" Aluminum iMac, and a late 2009 13.3" MBP. How can I tell if all of these computers have the latest firmware updates on them? If I simply do the software updates will that update the firmware?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have just updated my iMac G5 to 10.5.6. When I restart, it hangs on the blue screen before log in. I have restarted in Safe Mode (no problem there) and removed the APE files in the library folder, as suggested on support.apple.com. I have also repaired permissions and verified the drive. Still no luck.
Is it really possible that the computer needs hours to restart after the update? And would it be better for me to restore using Time Machine or do an Archive & Install with the Leopard discs? The computer was acting a little funky before I updated to 10.5.6 (iTunes was sluggish), but I never had a problem rebooting.
I just recently updated my Safari, to have it up to date.Now all of a sudden it will not play any video in Safari.How can I get my videos to play again?

So i have just installed Microsoft Flight Simulator X on the bootcamp partition on the very latest white macbook before the uni-body ones were released and i am amazed!
The games works far better than on any genuine desktop or laptop PC i have ever played it on. The graphics are smoother with better FPS and the game is generally a lot faster and generally better. My mac just keeps impressing me!
I was just wondering if anybody else on here is a Flight Simulator X fan and if you're playing it on a mac? If you are, let me know!
Recently Snow Leopard has become one slow ass OS, and I originally though it was because I was going low on HDD Space I was at 11GB free, went and deleted a lot of stuff and it was still slow, currently on 13GB, but it doesn't seem to of been that. I am now thinking it may have something to do with deleting the preference files for Spotlight because it wasn't working correctly (but that made it worse, won't find Apps).
But I am not sure if that is it either, CPU is not really used much either, and all that is happening is Beach Balls 24/7 so is there anything I can do to find the root cause of the issue before doing a fresh install of Snow Leopard (which will take hell of a lot of time as I need to ask my parents to send it back, so would rather there is a fix without reinstallation).
Is there a way around this. I wish to download a lot of my music from iCloud , like 40gb worth but I don't want to keep the MacBook "awake" does it download when it's sleeping?The same with system and app updates, it seems to stop when it goes to sleep, is there a way around this?Because the download is so big I will have to leave it open and turn the energy setting off so it doesn't go to the auto sleep...

I would like to end up with a clean install except for mail. Is that possible with migration assistant or is there another way such as importing archieves for each mailbox folder. Is there a pst file that contains the rules, and account info?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSince upgrading on Tuesday night, My mail has been crashing every time I try and compose, and/or, send an email. Also, the hard drive is running continuously, almost as if Time Machine was running or it was defragging. And, some programs, i.e. Second Life, just freeze on start-up.

My last Backup was on May 9th, about the time we recieved our Software Update. Since then it gets to a certain point in the Backup, and just hangs for hours and hours. For example, it will get to 17.22 out of 20.6 GB on the backup. I leave it be, and come back two hours later...and it's still at 17.22 out of 20.6 GB of the bckup. I have no idea what's causing it. I think it's one particular file it won't backup. First off, how do I find out which one, and second, has this been happening to anyone else since the update?

View 12 Replies View Relatedso after my friend got his gmail account hacked I decided it was time for a new password. Updated it in gmail, on my iphone and iPad and no problems. However friggin' Mac Mail refuses to accept the new password. I even wrote it out in Text Edit and pasted it into both the gmail web interface and mac mail. Gmail web interface works just fine but Mac Mail refuses to accept the new password.
Is there any way I can fix this save for deleting my gmail account and recreating it(something I am want to do since I have a metric ton of messages).
Oy, Apple ignoring these tiny bugs is getting quite annoying....
For what its worth I'm on 10.6.4 and everything else is up to date.
Update, now I'm getting "The server returned the error: Web login required. (Failure)"
but it doesn't clear when I log into the web mail....
I operate a small business, and need to keep an archive of all email on my computer for at least one year (not on the cloud, as I live on a small island and our internet service is sporadic). I prefer to manually delete all email after 12 or 13 months. It seems like Apple Mail no longer allows this?

The problem is it keeps getting stuck at the same point every time. I've tried it over and over, including restarts, and it always stops at the same point. Here is a screenshot.
