Cannot make Mail work with new iMac

I have been using Mail 2.1.3 with a G5 iMac and OS X 10.4.11.
Now using iMac G5 with OS X 10.5.8 and Mail 3.6.
I cannot persuade Mail to work on the later computer. I am using the same settings as on the other computer except that I allowed the computer to set the number of the ports.
I use two email accounts in Mail. I retained my old email address when moving suppliers, so for the main one that I use most, I use the incoming server belonging to that account, but use my new supplier to send email. This works fine on the old computer. On the newer one, I can neither send nor receive.
I can of course access my email using a browser, but I much prefer using Mail.

I missed your posting til now, asked the same question here:

OS or Mini? Keyboard not fully usable (Kinesis Ergo MPC)
at
Mac OS » Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger » Tiger Forums » Installation&Setup, Sep 10, 2007
It seems it's an OSX 10.4 problem. It was fine for years (still is fine) on my G3 "Pismo" with OSX 10.3.9.
I'll add to my topic if I find anything. I've found people writing about hacking Apple's keyboard files, but am still trying to figure out if anyone's solved this.

  • Logitech Pro 4000 not working with new Imac 24"

    Just migrated from a G4 to the new Imac 24"
    Cannot get the Logitech Pro 4000 to work with new mac.
    Contacted Logitech and they said
    "please note that the QuickCam Pro 4000 currently only supports up to Mac OS X 10.2.6"
    However,the cam DID work ,even under 10.4.8 with the old G4...
    Any ideas people..
    Thanks!

    Your nwe iMac is Intel based, which is why the old driver failed/ You could try the driver from IOXperts. They do not mention Intel support, but they do list your camera, and have a free trial.

  • Can't get HP DeskJet 3940 to work with new iMac

    I have an iBook G4 and a brand new iMac sitting next to each other. The iBook has no difficulty seeing and printing to an HP DeskJet 3940 printer in another room via an Aiport Express module. When I turn Airport OFF on the iBook and turn it ON on the iMac, the same printer is visible to the iMac but when I go to Add it into Bonjour I get an "error -9672 Unable to connect to printer" message. The new Intel iMac apparently comes with knowledge of the HP 3000 series but to no avail. So I downloaded and reinstalled all "universal" software and drivers available from HP online regarding this printer and the same error message occurs. I Spotlighted '-9672' and it pointed to a header file in Xcode that defined the error as an XML problem but I'm not sure if it relates to my problem or is merely coincidental. I tried using the Airport Express module with someone else's Epson printer and it worked fine so that module is not the problem. I hate when this sort of thing happens...

    According to the list of printer drivers included with Mac OS X Tiger Intel there were drivers included for two models of the HP DJ 3940 printer. It was version 3.3, but I see that is also what you probably downloaded and installed from the HP website, so no issue there.
    These instructions from Mac Help in the Finder Help menu are what you have tried? Have you tried connecting the printer directly to you new iMac first and solving any direct printing problems before printing through your LAN with the AP Express?
    Connecting a USB printer to an AirPort base station
    If you have an AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express base station, you can share a USB printer with other computers on your network, whether they connect to the network wirelessly or with a cable. The other computers must use Mac OS X v10.2.3 or later.
    Follow the directions that came with your printer to set it up and install the necessary software on your computer.
    Connect the printer to the USB port on your computer, and then print a test page. If you need help, click the link below.
    Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort base station.
    If you're setting up an AirPort Express for the first time, connect the printer to the >AirPort Express before setting up the base station.
    Open a document to print, and then choose File > Print.
    In the Printer pop-up menu, choose Bonjour and then choose your printer.
    If you don't find your printer, choose Add Printer from the Printer pop-up menu, and then click More Printers. Select your printer and then click Add.
    When you select your printer in the More Printers dialog, Mac OS X finds the printer's driver and adds the printer to the Printer pop-up menu. If Mac OS X cannot find the printer driver, "Driver not Installed" or "Gimp-print" appears in the model pop-up menu.
    Usually, your computer can detect whether a printer has special accessories installed, such as additional paper trays, extra memory, or a duplex unit. If it can't, a dialog appears that lets you specify them. Make sure the settings in that dialog accurately reflect your printer's installed accessories so you can take full advantage of them.
    You may not see error or status messages when using a printer connected to an AirPort base station. For example, you may not see messages like “Out of Paper” or “Printer Busy."
    To use the printer utilities that came with your printer, check the status of ink cartridges, or set the printer's resolution, disconnect the printer's USB cable from the AirPort base station and connect it to your computer.

  • Isub not working with new imac

    the help menu is telling me to make sure that the isub is plugged in, and then to make certain it is selected under sound preferences... the only problem is that the imac is not picking up that the usb is even plugged in- there is no isub option that comes up on the sound preferences.
    the isub works fine on my older mac, but just is not being read on the new one. any guesses other than my old isub is obsolete with my new imac?
    thanks
    -pd

    The iSub is sweet! It's the best sub I've ever had! There's no reason for it to NOT work with the new Macs. It's a bummer. I still have my iSub, maybe they'll start supporting it again someday.

  • 1st Generation iPod (5GB) not working with new iMac

    Hi,
    i have the Problem, that my 1st generation iPod is not detected by my new imac (20'' 2,4 Ghz). When i plug in the firewire cable, nothing happens. DiscUtility sees no disc at all.
    But when i plug in the iPod "behind" another Firewire disc (acting as a fw-hub), the iPod ist detected within a second, and everything works fine.
    I just wanted to know if someone else is having this Problem, or if someone else has a working iPod 1.Gen on the new iMac.
    Thanks
    Joerg

    Hi JvdL,
    I am one with a 1st gen iPod (Windows, 10GB).
    But I have no problems with it and I also don't have a last gen. iMac.
    However, in the iPod Forum http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=151 and in the iTunes Forum http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=149&start=0#threads there are quite some threads with similar problems.
    Sorry

  • IPod no longer works with Older iMac (works with new iMac)

    Hi all:
    First off sorry about the cross post but I got no response to this question in the other forum. Hoping for help from this group. Thanks!!!!
    I have an iMac Duo (20" 2.0Ghz) running 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.1 which recognizes my 5g (and my wife's 4g) no problem. However when I attach either of them to my G3 (G3 500 MHz) running 10.2.8 (iTunes 6.0.5) they are not recognized.
    I believe that the 5G won't work because the G3 does not have USB 2. However, I do not understand why the 4G does not work.
    The 4G worked with the G3 for about 2 years. I have not tried to attach it to the G3 since we bought new computers (iMac for me, MacBook Pro for her) until today. I wanted to use it to transfer some files from the G3 to the new iMac.
    I have tried forcing the 4G into disk mode and connecting it to the G3 but that did not help (I tried this with the 5G also).
    I am using a USB cable with the 5G and a firewire cable with the 4G.
    According to software update all of the computers are 100% current.
    Thanks for any and all help!
    Gary

    I'm no geek but I can say that my 5G video iPod works just fine with my B&W G3 (450Mhz processor), which I am pretty sure only has USB 1. My G3 is running iTunes 7 and OS 10.4.5. Updating may solve your problem.

  • External DVI monitor not working with new iMac 27"

    I recently purchases a 27" iMac and i'm trying to get it working with a 3rd party DVI external monitor. I got the Apple mini display port (thunderbolt) to DVI adapter and connected everything via a new DVI-D cable. The iMac detects there is a monitor and even shows the display as it should.. however, the monitor has a large amount of static/snow/noise (red coloured), so much so that the monitor is unusable. There is also a considerable amount of flickering.
    The monitor works fine when connected to a Mac Mini with the Mini DVI - DVI adapter, (old set up) so I know the monitor's connection is not faulty.
    Also, the monitor connects fine to the iMac when using a mini display - VGA adapter. The problem really seems to be with the combonation of DVI cable and adapter.
    Has anyone had any experiences with DVI monitors connected to new iMacs via the thunderbolt port?
    (System: iMac 27" 2011, 3.4GHz i7, 16GB RAM, Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB. All system updates installed, running OSX 10.7.2)

    I think that your assessment is right, the ATI must be on for DVI to work (so far I've only tested with an older T61p and the Quadro graphics are always running).  Can't you set the machine so that when docked the ATI is used, but on battery the internal video is used? That would be what I would try.

  • Lightroom not working with new iMac

    I just got a new iMac and I imported everything from my old computer using time machine but now lightroom does not work at all. Does anybody know what has gone wrong? All that comes up when I open the program is a grey screen and it does not respond with anything I click, including selecting a catalog.

    You need to actually install LR, not let Time Machine transfer it.
    If you purchased the regular (non-CC) version of LR, then download the LR 5.3 update from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
    If you have a PS+LR subscription, then click on the Lr icon after logging in at http://creative.adobe.com/products/  If CC thinks you have LR already installed, then you may need to install the www.adobe.com version, uninstall it, log out of CC, reboot, log back into CC, and then try downloading Lr from CC, again.

  • Can't get Epson NX510 to work with new iMac

    I am new to Mac, and I apologize if this is the wrong forum to this question, but...
    Apple threw in an NX510 scanner/printer/copy/fax when I bought my new iMac a couple of months ago. Printer/copy functions works great. But I cannot get the scanner function to work.
    Can anyone help me figure this out? Thanks in advance.

  • Can't get old scanner to work with new iMAC

    I have an old scanner, Epson Perfection 4870 Photo that I can't get my new iMAC to install in PSE6 like I've had in my older computers. I've installed all the software (plus I used my old laptop to transfer files/information when I initially started the new iMAC. When I go into PSE6 it is not under the import area that it used to be. Do I need to go manually drag the file in the hard drive to another folder? Thank you.

    Most likely the problem is with the driver. I have the same scanner at work and this is what I had to do to get it to work. Because you are running PSE6 which is a Universal Application on an Intel Mac, in order for the plugin to load within PSE it must also be a Universal plugin which it's not. Epson claims these drivers that were released in 2006 are Intel and 10.5 compatible. What you have to do to get it to work is Open up Epson Scan Utility in order to scan because the Scan Utility will run as a PPC Application. You can call Epson to confirm but if they try and tell you how to run PSE in Rosetta that is not a good solution.

  • Can iPod Classic work with new iMac USB3 port?

    I want to purchase a new iMac20 as my six years old one is starting 'to go', but wonder if my Classic will work with the USB 3 ports.

    Hi there philipfromjennings,
    The short answer is "it should." Take a look at the article below for more information.
    Using USB 3 devices on Mac computers FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5172
    What happens if I plug my USB 3 device into a USB 2 port?
    Your device should be backwards-compatible with USB 2 ports. However, you won't get USB 3 speed and power may be limited to 500mA.

  • How can I make Mail work with iCloud in 10.6?

    I was really comfortable with the Mac Mail application on my computer.  I was forced to move my email to iCloud.  Now I have to do all mail business on the iCloud website.  What a hassle.  I cannot upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion because my bread and butter relies on programs that work best in Snow Leopard.  I heard there was a way to make the Mail application continue to work in 10.6 with the new iCloud mail.  Does anyone know how?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    This step-by-step illustrated guide from Roger Wilmut is what I used as a guide to install iCloud mail in Apple Mail 4.5 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

  • Option Key for Boot Camp not working with New iMac Keyboard

    Hi, I own a early 2006 Intel iMac. Recently, my wife complained that the keyboard was getting dirty. Basically I think she liked the new keyboard on the new Aluminum iMac better. We purchased it back in August and everything worked great. Oh I also had the beta version of Boot Camp installed. Everything worked great, hold Option down on boot and could choose which OS to go into.
    Fast forward to now, purchased Leopard and love it! Decided to wipe the system and do a fresh install. Everything is installed (Leopard, Boot Camp, Windows XP) and working great, that is except when I press and hold the Option key at start up. If I have the new keyboard installed, the Option key does not bring up the boot manager. However if I plug the original keyboard in and hold Option, it works!!!
    Ok I could see a problem if the new keyboard was NOT an Apple product. But it is and frustraiting as I can use the control panel to choose. This is a long round about method and does not make a happy wife with me. HELP!
    Jhan Jensen

    Thanks for the info! I was about to call myself and I may still do so. I am hoping if Apple gets enough of these calls then maybe it will spur them on to get it done sooner. (Apple are you listening) I will do the same with the KB swapping, she will be happy at least she can still use the new keyboard. She types a lot and has be really happy with the new keyboard and its response.
    Thanks again for the help!!!
