OS X V10.7 Lion :: Mail And ICal Hang After 10.7.4. Update?
May 14, 2012
I've update to 10.7.4, and ever since my iCal and Mail get the beach cursor - I've waited an hour and longer and then forced quit them, after that they work for a few minutes (Mail longer, iCal until you create or change an item). I realise that Spotlight is reindexing (since this morning, and still saying "estimating indexing time".
I updated with the latest Lion patch yesterday and since then Entourage has either hung or taken a very long time to update from our 2003 Exchange server (I have MS Office 2011 but as you're probably aware, there are issues integrating with a 2003 Exchange server). how this might be fixed, short of updating both our 2003 Windows Server to Windows Server 2008 x64 and Exchange to 2010 so I (the only Mac user out of 85 staff) can use Outlook 2011?
If I upgrade Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (on a 2009 MacBook 5.2), is the update limited to OS X or can I also expect to see upgrades to free apps like Address Book, Mail and iCal? If the free apps do not change to match the latest versions available, can I expect updates to the free apps soon?
I am running 10.7.4, build 11E53, and running into this problem:
The thing hangs here, like so.
Thinking it might explain something to someone I ran tail -f /var/log/install.log in terminal and got:
Jun 23 23:54:55 EyeToEye-2 diskmanagementd[825]: DM ->T-[DMToolBootPreference recoveryPartitionInfoForVolume:what:dict:]: inHostDiskUDS=0x1058a3c20=disk0s2=Orbit inWhatStr=RecoveryInfoBaseSystemVersion

Long story, but basically I got an "invalid sibling error" on my intel IMac and was told the best fix was to zero the HD and reinstall. I did this and got Leopard running. Now it hangs while I try to update to 5.10.8. I downloaded the combo update from Apple after it failing through system update.
I'm not sure what the issue could be. I've verified the disk, checked it's smart status is ok and run the hardware test from the install disk.
Not quite sure what to do.Installed 10.5.7 on my iMac and my Air with no issues.Was running the update onto one of my mac minis and it hung in the "Running Installer Script" bit. After an hour I decided to power cycle which it had no issues with. When I check the OS now it says it is on 10.5.7. but I'm not sure how to confirm that the update has been completed correctly.
First the specifics: I have a MacPro, Version 10.6.2 for OSX. I did the latest update that showed for Safari. It went to reboot and just sat there and hung. I waited for 10 minutes, then manually restarted the Mac. It came up, but then when I went to open Mail, I got an error that it couldn't open. I then clicked on ok, and tried to open another app, and it wouldn't open. I tried with several apps with the same result. I downloaded the MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.2.dmg and ran it with no problems, and the Apps will still not open?
I had to force it down during the installation cause in hang up. When I tried a restart the grey screen comes up as usually and the small wheel spins underneath. It spins for hrs. I tried the safe mode but it shows that all is good with the HD. Bootcamp works normally as I am writing from that part right now.
Running OS X 10.9.4 and, ever since the last update, I have been encountering several issues with iTunes (hangs up when trying to open, have to force-quit), Safari (pages not loading, long periods with "pinwheel of death"), Youtube Downloader keeps crashing, Apps like iPhoto, App Store, and Mail taking VERY long to open, if at all...
during the system has been actualizing and power down i have close my macbook pro.Since these action the mac mail program and ical don't open. When i click on the icons they are jumping but dont open. system preferences is opening but the subfolders like network, dock, cds&DVDs and so on dosn't open. in the status bar there is shown for example loading network but nothing is going on.
Started the 10.7.4 install, and it halted. Turned my Mac off, started it back up, and apparently the 10.7.4 update didn't install, but it has caused the Mail function to not work AT ALL - I get a long error report that is auto sent to Apple.
I downloaded Lion from the Apple store, but have my Snow Leopard disk. How do I go about re-installing Mail?
Info: Mac Book Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.5), 2.93 GHz Core 2 Duo 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
On my iPhone and iPad mail app, which is sourcing from my Gmail, 'read' mail is changed to read mail (from unread) status on across iPad and iPhone mail application platforms. But not for IMac using Lion.
After "upgrading" to Lion, my MacPro refuses to complete either a Restart or Shut Down cycle. How can I discover what is hanging up the process? System: MacPro1,1; 8GB RAM, OS X 10.7.3, 4x2TB internal drives, all software updates applied.
I have a longish list of bookmarks, which I synchronize to iCloud. When adding new ones or editing existing ones, I find at least 50-75 per cent of the time Safari hangs for a minute or so, spinning beachball and all.
I've downloaded CalDav. It will export from Google Calendar into Ical, but not the other way.Any tips on how to get information onto Google Calendar from Ical?
Software update downloaded and installed a system update. Opened Mail to find that it had duplicated one of my accounts. I now have two accounts with the same email address.
I'd like to delete one of them (no big deal), except that Mail tells me it will delete all messages associated with this address. That would be a lot of messages and messages that I need.
I am running Lion 10.7.3 on a 2.8GHz CoreDuo iMac from 2007 and on a Macbok Air 2.13 GHz Core duo from 2010. The iMac has 4GB of RAM the Macbook has 2 GB RAM.
I run Microsoft Office 2011 on both machines. For the same file the Macbook operates normally on Word and Excel. The iMac is slow at best and when I try a Save As it hangs for up to 15 minutes brfor letting me change the FIle Name. This effectively makes it unusable.
As far as I can tell the set up of Office on both Machines is identical and I have eliminated duplicate Fonts as suggested by some posts but the problem remains. I have checked Activity Monitor and I am not getting any Page Outs so RAM does not appear to be an issue.
Okay, not sure if it's the update, or not. But both Mail, and iCal keep crashing. They'll be running fine, then just crash. I removed the Cache folders for both [I read someplace that takes care of it], but it's still happening. I am connecting to an Exchange 2007 Server, so not sure if that has anything to do with it or not? Should I re-create the accounts? Anyone else have this happen?
use MS Entourage 08 instead of Mail/iCal?I have been a Mac user since 10.3 and have never used Mail and iCal until 2009.Now I bought Office 2008 for word and excel and powerpoint but am unsure If I want to cheat on Mail and iCal with entourage
I am trying to use my Mail and iCal apps but they will not open. When I click on the icon they both will bounce a couple of times like they are opening then they would stop as if I quit. I have tried to update them but my computer will not let me. I have had this computer for less then a year and it has already crashed on me (dont know if that has anything to do with it).
I would actually use these features, but knowing that I would get my MacBook back with a wiped hard drive If I ever have to send it in for repairs, makes me think it would just be a big hassle. Unless there was a way to back up all the info to a thumb drive or CD for later reinstall.
