I can send emails on my ipad and iphone but not on my iMac. I can receive them okay.

I am using a @virgin.net email and cannot send emails from my iMac. I can recieve them and have no problem sending them on my ipad and iphone. Why?

It sounds to me like you need to go into Mail, then Preferences, and check your outgoing mail settings for this mail account.  If you're not sure what they need to be, you can probably get most (if not all) of the information you need off of your iPad or iPhone.
I've seen it happen where the settings are correct and things still didn't work.  In that case, usually reentering everything in the Mail settings resolves the issue.

  • When I try to send email from my iPad and iphone it says that I have the incorrect username and/or password, but I know they are correct, can someone help me?

    "Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
    In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
    Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
    In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
    That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

  • We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone.  Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc.  This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

  • I cannot send emails from my IPad and IPhone

    I cannot send emails from my iPad or iPhone, but can receive them.  I can send from my iMac using the same settings and network...  Ideas?

    What is your iOS version? Try deleting the account in Mail and setting it up again. Repeat in second device if successful/necessary.

  • After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
    From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
    I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
    I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

  • My calander and contacts are syncing on ipad and iphone but not my photos.

    my calander and contacts are syncing on ipad and iphone but not my photos.

    Make sure you are entering the contacts and calendar events on your iCloud account.  On your iPad, check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar.  Here make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default, and not something else like On My iPad, Google Calendar, and exchange account calendar, etc.
    Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the contacts section) and make sure you have selected iCloud as your default.  (If you don't see this settings, this isn't the problem).
    If your settings for your calendar is correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new calendar events to your phone, go to icloud.com from your computer and enter any missing calendar events on your iPad that are not on your calendar on icloud.com.  Once your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted, then after a minute or so turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendars back to your phone.  Then enter a new event on your iPad and confirm that it syncs to icloud.com now.
    If your settings for your contacts are correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new contacts to your phone, do the same thing for Contacts (add any missing contacts to icloud.com, turn iCloud syncing off, choose Delete from My iPhone, after a minute turn contact syncing back on, try adding a new contacts to confirm that it syncs).

  • TS3899 can send email from my personal (aol) account but not from my work account. My email works fine on my lap top. I have contacted my IT department. They cant seem to fix it. any suggestions?

  • My Mail application is rejecting my password even though I'm putting it in correctly. Mail is working fine on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac so it must be something to do with the Mail settings on my desktop. My software is up to date.  Can you help?

    I have an iMac, operating system 10.7.4 with up to date software. My mail application is rejecting my password even though I know I am putting it in correctly. I have an ipad and iphone and the mail application is working fine on them. On my desktop however I cannot receive or send mail. I think it must be something to do with the settings but cannot work out what. I have contacted BT who provides my email and internet. As I have another email address with them that is working correctly they believe it is a problem with mail rather than with them. Please can you help?

    OK Vicky, good clues...
    See if this helps...
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • ICal syncs Google calendar with iPad and iPhone but not MacBook Air

    Hi there,
    Sorry to post another thread about syncing issues, but the solutions posted in the ones I looked at didn't quite solve my problem, so I'm wondering if I'm having an issue that's specific to the way I've set things up with my devices?
    I created a Google account for the sole purpose of having a Google calendar that I could share with my Dad. We both access this Google calendar through iCal.
    My Dad generally checks or posts updates using iCal on his iPad and iPhone. Meanwhile, I'm using iCal on my MacBook Air, which FWIW is also running Snow Leopard. (I don't have an iPad or iPhone - this is my only means of accessing the calendar.)
    Any change he makes on the calendar will show up on both of his devices, but not mine. Any change I make will not show up on his devices.
    I logged into the Google account in a web browser (Chrome, FWIW) and checked the calendar through the same browser - all of his changes aren't showing up on it, but mine are.
    I had my Dad reload the same Google calendar in his devices (i.e. delete the account and add it back again) and confirmed he's using the right Google address and password. This doesn't do anything to solve the problem.
    What else am I missing? It's a little frustrating trying to fix this because my Dad's in another state so I don't see him that often, and even though I taught him how to use an iPad and an iPhone, he's still not the most computer literate person, so talking him through this is a little tricky.

    On the MBPro and the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Switch Calendars off then back on.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

  • Shared calendars are showing up on  iPad and iPhone but not on iCloud or her new MacbookAir, any suggestions?

    I just got my wife a Macbook air, and cannot figure out why our shared calendars work with both of our Ipads and Iphones, on my icloud account but not her account or her new air.

    Levi G B ... Also found another thread by Davidfromsurfside on 10/14/11 0703A with the same problem. I responded on his thread "I have the same problem. IOS5 on iPad1, iPad2 and iPhone4S all with iCloud on. Lion 10.7.2 installed on my MacBookPro and iCloud set up/on. Any new iCal entry on either iPad or on the iPhone ends up via iCloud on both iPads and iPhone. BUT NOT ON THE MacBookPro. And iCal entry on the MacBookPro does NOT GET SENT to iCloud.com or to either iPad or the iPhone. This is a huge problem for me because I do all my office scheduling on the iPad or iPhone but rely on the MakeBookPro to print out daily client lists. I REALLY need to get this fixed...it is causing major business issues. " No one so far has had a fix....  :(

  • Contact Photos in iPad and iPhone but not on Outlook 2011

    Hi,
    If I create a contact on my my iPhone or iPad the contact photos are seen in either device but cannot be seen in Outlook 2011 or in the Contacts app (v9) of my mac.
    The opposite is also true: if I create the contact in my computer (Outlook 2011 or Contacts v9), the photos show up only in Outlook or in Contacts v9 but not on my iPhone or iPad. Contact info is OK in all 4 places.
    The contacts are stored in an Exchange server (don't want to use iCloud at this point).
    I'm running IOS 8 on an iPhone 5 and iPad mini. Yosemite runs on a MacBook Air.
    Any idea how can can I fix this?
    Thanks.

    You could also try to remove folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/  to the Desktop.
    This folder is the local copy of the photos in the shared Photo Streams on the Mac from the user library.
    The user library is hidden by default. To open the hidden User Library:
    Use the Finder's "Go" menu.
    Click "Go", then hold down the options key, until you are seeing "Library" in the drop down menu appear and click it.
    In the Finder window that will open navigate to the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/.
    Remove the folder and restart the Mac.   It will take some time, until the folder will populate again. Don't delete the copy you removed, just in case.

  • HT201335 AirPlay Mirroring is working from iPad and iPhone, but not from Macbook Pro.  How to fix?

    I can see and activate AirPlay Mirroring from Macbook but nothing displays on the TV when mirroring is activated (screen changes from Apple TV menu to blank screen only).  I have 3rd generation Apple TV and a brand new Macbook Pro, so AirPlay Mirroring is supported by both devices.  I can display video content on the TV from my MacBook from iTunes by selecting to display on Apple TV instead of my computer, but it does not work for mirroring.
    For reference, when I activate AirPlay Mirroring from iPad or iPhone, it works perfectly and content is displayed on my TV.
    Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

  • HT202786 Shared photos appear on iPad and iPhone but not on Mac

    Hi Everyone:
    I have several albums I share via iCloud. They appear on both my iPhone and iPad, but do not appear in iPhoto on my Mac. The album titles appear, but the photos do not have. Below are screenshots.
    All devices are using the same iCloud account. I have tried turning iCloud Photo Sharing on and off in both System Preferences and iPhoto, but that is not working. 
    iPad:
    iOS 8.1
    Mac
    OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
    MacBook Pro 13-inch (mid-2012)

  • How can change view in mail.receipts from Macy look good in iPad and iPhone, but not readable in mail

    I would like to change from Outlook to mail. I recently got an e-mail with a receipt from Macys. It looks good on my iPhone and on my iPad. It looks good on Outlook, but its ugly on mail. Instead of having one compressed picture, the content is widely distributed. I have installed Maverick.

    The reason I asked is because keying all devices synced is exactly what it is all about.
    FYI, You need to use the Mail application, but you do NOT need to use an @me.com account. It support Gmail and other mail servers.

  • Why does iTunes send music via iCloud to my ipad and iPhone, but not music videos

    When I get music via itunes, icloud pushes them to my ios devices, but music videos do not.

    Were the music videos purchased with a different Apple ID than the one you are using for iTunes Match?  If so, I don't believe they are eligible (same is true if the music video was not purchased from the iTunes Store).
