Hi there,
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". Any suggestions for a cure?
Thanks,
Emanuel

Getting the probs any help?
No, so far no help on this issue. I reinstalled the Combo-Update as that seemed to solve some people's issues with the update - but to no avail.
Well I would recommend this solution if you have the following enabled.
As I had this issue with a client of mine.
The situation was the same as described, upon opening mail it took a long time for the program to respond and the colored wheel span for a while and then after a few moments the mail app started to responed.
Solution:
If you use iCloud and you have backed up data, backed to icloud you will need to disable it.
after canceling icloud from the system mail started to respond right away upon launch.
If you find this helpful please replay.
Thanks hope this helps.
Thanks for the hint. As I do not have iCloud services activated, it did not solve my problem. Any other ideas?
Spotlight keeps reindexing, not able to estimate the remaining time, and over a number of nights, and iCal just goes spinning. Mail is extremely slow and at times unresponsive but sometimes works. As of recently, Dropbox is also "indexing" and not active.
I would really appreciate some helpful advice!!
Thanks in advance, folks,
Emanuel
Mail and iCal hang after 10.7.4. update
