Mail connection problems after sleep

Hi, since upgrading to new retina macbook pro my mail works although not well, most times it will not connect after sleeping, I need to close mail, sometime it will not close and requires a force close, and sometime not all acounts come back on line and I may need to shut down a second time to achieve this.
I do run 5 different email accounts, POP, IMAP and exchange and have a large amount of mail.
Hope someone can help, thank you..

Hello,
I share the same problems as you do with my MacBook Pro Late 2011.
For me this has happened only since I have upgraded to Mac OS X 10.8
I must say it has got a little better and does now go online fine after coming out of sleep once I applied the 10.8.2 update the other day.
I wonder if this is a bug relating to the different account types. I have a few email accounts running and like you these are, POP, IMAP and MS Exchange. Maybe if it had one account it's fine and that is the reason why not many people have complained about it?

Mail Connection Problems after latest Maverick Update

My macbook pro contains the latest OS Maverick update (12/17/2013) and I am still having mail connection problems.
Several times an hour the mail app is dropping the mail connection on all my accounts. I have to sign in to all my connections each time the connection drops. Does anyone think of a solution to this problem? Anyone else still having this problem with Maverick Mail connections?
Thanks

Same problem here. For a couple of weeks, I've had an error message that my accounts can't log in. I've gone thru the account prefs and made sure all settings are correct and set to Apple's suggested settings. Also getting double messages sometimes. Not all messages, but one or two will be doubled. This happens on my iPhone and Mac's. If I scroll the window the double message disappears.
Also had lots of errors that mail can;t be deleted. I go back and delete the message again and it goes away.
I kinda feel like this is Mavericks related since these issues were not happening under ML.

Mail login problems after sleep (lion/MBP)

Sometimes after sleep, Mail will not load passwords from the keychain. I have to force quit Mail and restart it once or twice -- then it functions normally again. So, I know that the passwords are indeed saved and accessible, it's just that Mail doesn't find them after sleep. Any ideas?? I have an active internet connection at these times, as I start up Safari first which loads any page just fine. Thanks in advance for any input! (This problem started with a new MBP & Lion.

Mail Connections Lost After Sleep - sum up the sollutions?

In https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4268728?tstart=0 9 pages are spend on possible sollutions to this problem.
I had this problem, then it disappeared for quite some time, but now I have it again. I not remember what I did at the time, possible a suggestion from these 9 pages.
- Is there an overview that someone has of all th possible sollutions, I am a bit hesitant in going through all the options.
- it seems, looking at the last page, that there is not one sollution? which ones work best?
Thanks

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application uninstaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Timeouts and connection problems after 5.1(2) upgrade

AIM/chat and some other programs are having timeout/connection problems after upgrade to 5.1(2). I am using S241 also. The connection problems stopped when the IPS was set to bypass. Rebuilt IPS and left sigs at default settings and problem is still happening. I am not seeing any of the IPs that are having the problem in the Event Viewer or on the Events in the IDM.
Any known issues with the 5.1(2) that would cause this type of problem?

I don't know specifically, but I did notice that 5.1(3) was released today.

XE connection problem after using Cisco AnyConnect Client

Hello
I have a rather annoying problem connecting to an XE instance AFTER I have disconnected from a VPN via a Cisco AnyConnect VPN Agent.
Sequence of operations:
- start Oracle XE and work normally
- connect to client's vpn
- do other stuff
- DISCONNECT from Client's VPN
-> unable to connect to XE service any more, unless I reboot
The problem does not happen with other vpn clients like Cisco VPN Service, Juniper, Checkpoint.

Problems after sleep mode with wifi connection

I got my first iMac the other week but i keep having problems after it has gone into Sleep Mode.
Once i log back in to use my iMac again i can't seem to go online =and have lost connectivity with emails etc. Its showing that i'm still connected to my wifi and the only way to fix it is to restart.
I have already connect chat support about this and the made me reset my PRAM and reset the systems management controller (SMC)
Does anyone have any ideas??

Personally I don't let the computer sleep, I set the display to sleep. This has the same net effect and in the 8+ years I have been using OS X I have never had a problem. Set the Computer's sleep setting to Never and set the display sleep to the amount of time you had the computer sleep set at.
However if you want to try with computer sleep instead of display sleep check if the wake for network access box is checked. If it already is they your issue is likely somewhere else.

Pismo Sound Problems after Sleep in Tiger

Hi all. New to the forums and returning to Macs after years of cursing Bill Gates. Picked up a Powerbook Pismo from a friend and have been having some fun with it, but I have one problem I can't solve. I replaced the hard drive (saved the old one) and installed Tiger and 1GB of memory on the machine. All seemed well until I noticed that the sound would not work sometimes after sleeping. The sound will usually return with a reboot, but sometimes I'll have to actually turn the machine off, and clear the PRAM to get the sound to come back. Sometimes, the volume and screen controls will both not work at all (pop up doesn't even appear when the keys are pressed), sometimes it's just that the sound doesn't work, but everything looks right on the screen. I've also had the sound and screen buttons not work only to have pop ups suddenly appear and the adjustments happen several minutes after I pressed the keys. So far I've tried:
Clearing the PRAM
Checked the Pram Battery (ok)
Reinstalled Tiger (Still loses sound)
Downgraded to 10.3 (problem persists, and seems worse)
In system information on Tiger it says "there was an error when retrieving that information" when you click on the sound hardware.
The machine is a 500mhz Pismo with a 48gig drive and 1 gig of Memory (133mhz, would that cause this sort of problem?)
I have not tried going back to OS9 to see if the disappearing sound resolves as I don't currently have an OS9 disk.
This sure seems like a software problem, but I'm starting to wonder. I really like this machine and want to get it to work! Help!

Maxstang, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Did you repair permissions after you installed Tiger? Have you updated Tiger to 10.4.11?
Here's the Sound troubleshooting info in the Pismo Service Manual.
No sound from speaker(s)
1. Verify mute mode is not enabled (F6 on the keyboard).
2. Check the volume setting in the Sound control panel.
3. Verify no external speakers or headphones are plugged in.
4. Reset PRAM.
5. Make sure speaker cable is plugged into sound card.
6. Replace sound card.
7. Replace speakers (part of the top case).
8. Replace I/O logic board
Startup sound is heard, then no sound from speaker(s)
1. Remove sound preferences from System Folder, reset PRAM,
then restart.
2. Perform clean installation of system software.
Had the Pismo previously had OS X installed. There's a firmware update (Boot ROM version 4.1.8) that should be installed prior to installing OS X. However, when I got my Pismo with Tiger installed, the firmware was not updated (have since updated). However, I don't think this could be the cause of your problem, since I had no sound problems when the update was not installed.
The PC133 RAM (which runs at 100MHz) should not be the problem. I have PC133 RAM in my Pismo.
Since you replaced the HD, could you have disturbed the connection to the Sound Card. The Sound Card is located to the upper-right of the HD. Here's a helpful laptop site.

Dial-up connect problem after 10.4.9 update

After installing the 10.4.9 update it has been very difficult to connect to the dial-up internet server. It may take 19 tries clicking "Connect" before it connects and sometimes it connects after four tries. The error messages vary: unable to connect to PPP or no carrier detected are the most frequent messages. Once on-line everything works fine except for being able to send mail. I'm unable to send mail - that error message wants the SMTP server settings and any advanced settings checked.
I called Apple support and the Apple Tech had me reconfigure the Network to dial an "800" number to a PPP Dial-Up Test Site. When that worked succussfully a window displayed a message that the modem, the PPP or Remote Access software, the TCP/IP software is functioning and correctly configured for a PPP connection to this server. The Apple Tech checked the information on the 10.4.9 upgrade and did not find any reason to think it would cause this problem. Apple Tech suggested I contact the dial-up server.
The dial-up server went over all the configurations and they were all correct. During my phone call to them they could hear the computer dial-up sounds and said it sounded like the normal "hand-shake". The dial-up server has had no reports of problems with connecting to their service other than mine.
If anyone knows what could have caused this problem, how to fix it or has the same problem I'd be very interested in hearing from them.
Thanks, AppleProblem

You have been most helpful and we think the problem is solved. After I send this message explaining what has transpired I'll go back and click on the "Solved" button.
Based upon your suggestion to try "Script, like v32" I started experimenting with the four internal modem options we have in our Modem settings. They are v.32, v.34, v.90 and v.92. I tried to connect three different times with each one. The v.32 didn't connect, the v.34 connected all three times, the v.90 connected the first two but not the third or the fourth try. On the fifth attempt the Mac froze up, the mouse/arrow wouldn't work and there was a high speed motor sound. I tried a Force Quit (Option,Command,Escape), I tried a Hard Shut Down (holding the power key) and when these didn't work I pulled the plug. Then, I booted back up and connected on the second try using the v.90. I don't know why the computer froze up and assume it is nothing to be concerned about.
I then called our ISP and found that the two access numbers are both v.90. I suspect that until we did the version upgrade to the 10.4.9 that our computer was accommodating the v.90 eventhough it was a v.92 (!?!). Just a guess.
I also asked the ISP tech why we couldn't send mail. He asked if we had the password set for the outgoing mail. He said if we're using the access number owned by them it didn't require a password but the other access number is not owned by them and is used by other ISPs and it does require a password. We had never set up our Mail Preferences outgoing mail settings to use a password. Before our connect problems we had always used the number owned by them and after the connect problems we started using the other number because we found that we could connect to it with fewer attempts. We put in the necessary information and now have no problem sending mail.
We have also been looking for another ISP and the web site you gave us www.fastermac.net looks very promising. They have one access number in our area and we want to check if it is v.92 or v.90. During our research for an ISP we learned that if it is a v.92 access number (and we use our v.92 modem) we'll be able to answer phone calls and remain online. That will be a real blessing. Thanks!
We really appreciated your brain storming with us and your perseverance. Thanks so much!

Airport connection lost after sleep mode

Hello everbody,
Each time I send my PowerMac G4 MDD Dual 867 to sleep it won't to connect to my (or rather to any) Airport network anymore after waking up, it just seems as if Airport is completely defunct after waking up.
My iBook G4 works without any problems on the same network, by the way.
I know the workaround with restarting IPv4 networking (described here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1122310&#1122310) and I have also created an AppleScript for automatising this process, however I am still wondering, if this issue will ever be addressed by Apple, since it is still present for me in 10.4.6.
Best regards,
Björn Wilmsmann
PowerMac G4 MDD Dual 867 with standard Airport card Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Okay, this might not solve your problem, but I had a similar problem when I switched from WPA2 to WEP on my Airport, therefore also changing the password which again somehow got my Powerbook confused.
I went into System Preferences > Network > Airport and looked at my "Preferred Networks" list (Not "By default, join..." > "Automatic"). Then I edited my airport network in that list (the small "Edit" button) and I saw that the password somehow was corrupted. When I corrected this error my Powerbook began joining automatically after sleeping again. Strangely, this setting has nothing to do with the Keychain Access, even though you can find your base station's password there too...
Oh, and I might add: My airport is on a closed network and is therefore not "visible"...

Wireless Internet connectivity lost after sleep

I've got a problem where I keep losing my wireless network connection after going to sleep.
The situation is that I'm connecting to my university's secure network. I have the credentials saved on my MacBook. When I need to go and leave my computer on my desk, I go back to the login window, and close the lid. When I come back and open it again, I'm instantly asked for the network password, at the login screen. Regardless of whether I enter it or dismiss the dialog, I'm unable to get a connection automatically after I resume my user session. There's an exclamation mark on the network icon and it says that there's no internet connection on the menu. When I click on this warning, I'm asked to repair the network connection and re-connect to it. This works, but I'd much rather that this be done automatically. Is there no way for me to resume connectivity after waking up my MacBook without having to manually re-connect?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The problem's still happening in 10.6.2. I lose my Internet connection when I go back to the login window, then close the lid on my MacBook so that it goes to sleep. When I awake it, and log back in, I'm shown as being connected to the network, but not to the Internet. I have to manually re-connect.
When I just close the lid without exiting to the login window, it appears that my Internet connection is re-established automatically, though, on re-awakening. I'm puzzled as to why this is occurring. It looks like a bug to me.

Safari 2.0.4 problems after sleep

I've searched a bit for problems with Safari 2.0.4 after sleep and can't find much that relates to my specific problems so I'll ask for your help. On my Powerbook G4 15" when Safari is running and it goes into sleep mode I get the following problems:
1. After heavy sleep, when I awaken the computer Safari says that the application has quit.
2. After a short time away from the computer Safari is unresponsive with a spinning beachball and a lot of disk activity. After 3-5 minutes it seems to return to normal.
Is this a known or common problem? Are there any fixes? The issue has been going on for many months, but I thought I might see if there's a cure. Resetting Safari and clearing cache don't appear to help out.
Thanks for your help.

No, everything else appears to work fine. When there is this beachball activity there's a lot of hard disk activity taking place. I have 1.5GB of RAM, but this happens when I have 2 applications open or 5. It just appears that when I leave the computer unattended for 5 minutes or so some sort off background activity is taking place.

WiFi Internet connectivity problems after upgrade to 10.8.4

After upgrading to MacOS 10.8.4 I am facing regular interruptions to my WiFi internet connectivity. Periodically the internet connectivity is lost and the only way to fix the problem is to turn WiFi off and on again. This happens frequently when I am downloading files at using big bandwidth (more than 1.5-2 MB/s). If I use assist me on the Network preferences tab, it displays an ISP error when the connectivity is down, however I am certain that I do nota have any kind of ISP or router issue since at the same time I have WiFi internet connectivity from my iPad mini, iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S3. Therefore it should be a 10.8.4 issue
