![]() I have considered disconnecting them to see if the problems continue. The differences between the two setups are that I have two EHDs, one for Time Machine and one for iPhoto and iMovie storage. Īs far as your other questions I will need to get back to you on that.īy the way, my wife also has an iMac on 10.6.8 and she has the asking for password problem but not (so far) the kernel panic shut down problem. Even then I am not optimistic that would solve my various problems. I need to determine what other upgrades I would need to make (Office and Elements) and the costs of those. They then recommend upgrading first to El Capitan and then to Sierra (don't know if that is also free). Following it through it appears that the upgrade to El Capitan is free. That is erasing your HD and freshly installing the new OS but to do this, a robust and verifiable backup is essential. So my "opinion " as you asked for it - let's say it was me - I'd get the latest OS compatible with your Mac and do a clean install. But as you say you have upgraded before, that might not be necessary. In addition to that cost, I'm almost certain that to upgrade, you will have to purchase Lion from the Apple online store, download it and install and then get the free upgrades from there. You will know, I'm sure, that there are new versions of Office and Elements that work with even the latest OS, Sierra - but you do have to pay for them. It seems you did try an upgrade before from you say. I have a belief, not necessarily based on reason or science, that upgrading with a known problem rarely solves that problem unless it is directly related to incompatibilities between apps and the OS or between an OS and an iOS. You said that "most recently " this problem had started can you recall when? Has anything changed on your Mac? Any new software or any other additions? So if we leave the thorny issue of out-of-date OS, let's see if there is a solution. It didn't register with me.Īlthough almost everyone on the planet would advise you to upgrade - and I'm kind of that view - what you describe shouldn't happen no matter what OS you have. At my home it only takes seconds to download all that spam, but at my family’s ranch that only has 0.75 mbps DSL it takes forever.I have followed your previous threads so perhaps I should have known that your OS was Snow Leopard-10.6.8. At this point, I’m more than happy to sacrifice any of those possible false-positive emails just to stop downloading all that spam. It should be the user’s choice to take the risk of having some false-positive email deleted that has erroneously been placed in that folder. I agree with you as well, that Apple needs to supply a setting on to just delete all items they’ve placed in the Junk folder. The best I’ve been able to do is have the Junk folder deleted “when quitting Mail”, which often delays quitting by up to half a minute while it tries to coordinate with iCloud to delete all the spam. They’re seemingly just ignored, so I deleted them. Rules I’ve set up in Apple Mail simply don’t work at all, as you stated. I’ve also tried to set up automatic junk deletion but settings don’t offer any rules that would be helpful and they won’t let you actually create rules from scratch. ![]() ![]() I used to get maybe two or three spam emails a day and now I’m getting literally 200 to 300, in batches of 50 to 70 at a time. No suggestions, just a “me too” of the issue and timing of the issue. If the junk classification wasn’t accurate, I wouldn’t want the automatic delete - but it hardly ever misses (though it occasionally puts LinkedIn messages in the junk folder). (I buy wine from a wine store in Southern California and their email was blocked for quite a while - all their customers using Apple Mail had the mail blocked - so I know Apple can do this. ![]() Given that Apple can detect these types of email (all pretty obvious), I’m not sure why Apple doesn’t block them on the front-end - but they don’t. I did some searches on the Apple help forums and this seems to be a common complaint with no solution provided. The rule is If Message is junk mail then delete message. I was getting tired of that so I set up a “Delete Spam” Rule which I assumed would automatically delete junk mail when it arrived. Apple Mail catches almost all of this junk and puts it into the junk mail folder. Starting last fall, the volume of junk mail I receive increased in volume significantly.
