Macbook spinning wheel
When doing anything with Hotmail on my Macbook, I get the dreaded multi coloured spinning wheel. It happens mainly when I attempt to open or download attachments like invoices, price lists and suchlike. Doesn't happen with anything other than Hotmail.
When it occurs, I have to keep refreshing the page and eventually I can do the task but it is very annoying and time consuming. Started out of the blue around 3 weeks ago.
Any suggestions but please remember that I am a complete computer numpty.

Changing to iCloud would be a good move. I realise that a change of address has its problems but iCloud is 100% reliable. Given that Hotmail is a Microsoft thing, maybe it's the old animosity coming outOriginally Posted by hifi_dave
You've dumped Windoze, why not go the whole hog? With iCloud, being a cloud sceptic, I keep all my mail locally and don't let Apple keep it 'safe' for me. That's why I have a back up disk.
How to fix it as it is.... not a clue!!

I can't swap to another e-mail as hotmail is my business address.
It has been the past 3 weeks or so and not just today. Hotmail is performing OK on my Windows laptop and also my Wife's Macbook and 2 x i-pads. Just my Macbook giving grief.
I have no idea what RAM is but as I only use the Macbook for a bit of forum posting and e-mailing, I doubt anything is full. My Wife's Macbook is in use constantly, playing films, BBC i-player, e-mails, pics etc, etc but her one does Hotmail without a hitch.

If you use it from a browser then clear browser cache. Might solve it

Try running this program (just click on the link) and delete all websites that appear (which will be slowing things up), and then see if that cures your problem: http://www.macromedia.com/support/do...07.html#117717

Thanks lads for the suggestions.
I have done a clean up and hopefully that will help. I will find out next time I need to download from Hotmail.

Hi Dave,
Have you tried to retreive your mails from the hotmail / webmail page (http://www.hotmail.com) ? If the attachment downloads from there work then at least you know it is not the hotmail account per se.
Note hotmail has been discontinued by MS$ see this article here from 2013 which also has instructions on how to set up a hotmail IMAP (versus POP) account for theApple mail app. It still seems to work though.
Hope this helps.
