Please Help! Problems with Mail on Mac

Whenever I open my Mail on my Mac I am always faced with the below window:
My password is correct as I can log in to Yahoo from the website. I do still get mail sent to my iPhone and can, on occasion, retreive on my Mac.
No-one seems to be able to help, as soon as I put my password in and press 'OK' this window just re-appears!
PLEASE HELP!!!! :-)
Thanks all.
Kindest regards,
Les

Please Help-Problem with Optical Drive, it's a Mystery...

Well I'm a fairly big Imogen Heap fan, and her new CD came out the 25th. So I went to Best Buy and I bought the deluxe version which includes a seperate disc with instrumentals. I got home, put it in, and my Mac made a "scratching" kind of noise, then it spit out the disc. I figured there was a problem with it, I went back to Best Buy, got a new one, and it did the exact same thing.
HOWEVER, both of the instrumental discs worked just fine, and imported just fine. The normal audio disc also works on my Ubuntu computer, Windows computer, and my other Early 2009 Macbook Pro. I also restarted my Mac, cleaned the disc, and that did nothing.
So, what's the problem do you think?
(Also I went to Apple but there were no appointments available, and they were too busy to just look at it without an appointment )

Hi Mate,
I didn't do an OS install, I took it to an apple store and made a Genius Bar appointemnt. Explained the proble and after 15min conversation, they diagnosed it as teh following;
The felt/rubber where you put the CD/DVD had gone hard and the friction is causing the CD/DVD to get stuck and be loaded. They tried to tell me that I need to replace the top case (£140+VAT) as its in-built into it or I can use a £3 spudger to push the CD's in......needles to say the Spudger works fine.....Shame I wasted £100 on the new optical drive ;o( Maybe sell teh spare on eBay....Happy days!

Please HELP / problem with Mac to PC migration

Good afternoon,
I have a 1TB WD mybook external HD to which I would like to copy large files like movies, music and pictures from my Mac and then connect it to my wife's PC and place it on her internal HD. With the HD being formated on my mac, I'm unable to migrate the files to her PC. I was wondering how to format the drive so that it would be able to read/write on both the Mac and PC. I have looked for answers on this discussion but I didn't find anything that applies directly to me.
Much thanks in advance for your help

What is the problem with Mail on macs? attachments specifically

I have had problems forever with mac mail and its compatibility with PCs, but never majorly, i expected it to get better as macs progressed over the years, became more mainstream etc etc, but it appears, to me atleast, to actually be worse now on my new imac with mavericks...
Now one thing with Mac Mail i have always noticed, but not quite understood is the way when attaching images etc, they appear in the message rather than as a seperate attachment to be opened or downloaded, while i can see advantages to this i have always found it a bit strange.
When sending these messages it was only a hand full of people who probably had no computer knowledge who seemed to struggle with finding/downlaoding and opening the image.
Now with the new Imac and mavericks, pretty much everyone i send an attachmed image (usually aslways a jpg) to emails me back to tell me one of the following:
a) you have not attached the image
b) can you send an image file (or jpg) please
c) can you please re-send it as an attachment rather than in the main email.
Now I work in a media office so am sending a high volume of images to a large variety of people of varying degrees of computer literacy, and whilst i cant see what they are seeing, I just cannot fathom how pretty much EVERY person i now send images to seems to have problems getting the attachment.
ive checked the 'windows friendly' option and tried to make the image appear as an icon by right clicking it to see if that helps, but needless to say it seems to make no difference.
Anyone else having these issues or know a fix?

I discovered a simple work-around that is successful (at this point in time anyways) on my IMAC/Maverick when sending attachments (not inline or embedded) to PC users.
There are several threads in here on why attachments embed in mac mail when sending to PCs, and I have had similar issues. Not sure where the fault lies, but other than purchasing an additional program to make mac mail work as other mail programs work when it comes to attachments, I found no real solution that worked for my business PC folks. I did all the right things - sent my attachments in mac mail "windows friendly," "plain text," and "attachments at the end" and still got complaints when sending to my pc workmates using Outlook. I tried another suggestion I found here - zipping the files and sending the zipped file, but my workmates did not like that either and still asked why?
By trial and error I discovered that when I attach any pdf to the email as well as the questionable jpgs, the attachments arrive in their PC inbox as attachments that can be used as needed. I don't know why this works, but it has made sending attachments a happier task for my business group.
I would be interested to see if this works for others.

Please help - Problem with loading swf's (running very slowly)

Hi
I have posted this problem up in the last few days so I built a quick demo of my problem. Can somebody please download it and take a look at it and see what I'm doing wrong?
You can download it here at:
http://www.bounceworld.ie/download/Demo_Test.zip
The external swf's when loaded.....run very very slow; sometimes unresponsive as if there is a script running in the background. I'm using keyboard commands to navigate through the screens - eg:
on (keyPress "<Space>") {
gotoAndStop("scene02", "firstframeLabel");
Thank you for your help!!!!

Can anyone help me with Mail for Mac passwords?

I have been using Mail (on my MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.2) quit happliy for some time. I have several accounts for good reason. Recently two of the accounts started asking me to enter my password (see screen shot below). Having done so too many time, my account became locked and I had to go through Yahoo mail to reset it (with help from BT). In the end I had to change three passwords. While two of them are now being accepted by Mail, the third is not. Can anyone help?

I should also say, that I have now upgraded to 10.8.3 and following the advice elsewhere, the password saved in my keychain access is the correct one.

Please Help: Problems with erratic mouse

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.7 and just recently started experience erratic behaviour from my magic mouse. I have read countless forums that document this issue - its a known thing. It honestly drove me insane to the point that I completely formatted my 27" iMac and got back up to 10.6.7 - after installing the magic mouse software again, the SAME behaviour happened. I tried changing the channels at which my airport extreme broadcasts my wireless signal throughout the house - no luck.
I even switched over to my wired keyboard and Mighty Mouse - and you wouldn't believe it, but I am also experience this subtle jerkiness with the mouse - the cursor will get laggy when dragging from side to side, or up and down - definitely noticeable since I have been using mac's for 6 years now. I am absolutely blown away by this sudden phenomenon and have no explanation for it. My desk surface is fine (since it worked for years before hand). Both lenses on the mice have been blown out by a dust blower, they are clean.
I am about to lose my mind. Any ideas?

I am having the same problem. It started about 2 weeks ago and it drives my completely nuts. Even my wired mouse does have a noticeable lag. I use a lot of Photoshop and jerkiness is very annoying and it slows me down.
Anybody has an idea why this is happening?

Please Help: problems with 2nd internal SATA drive on G5

Hello everyone,
I was transferring and deleting very large files from my main drive, a 2nd 250GB SATA internal drive, and an external 250GB FW800 drive recently (about 50GB worth of data transfered), and decided to run disk warrior and repair my permissions/verify disk in disk utilities once completed.
Everything seemed fine until I verified my 2nd internal drive upon which I received the following error: "First Aid Failed" citing "Invalid node structure" and that the volume needs to be repaired. I attempted to Repair disk, though the process stops and I get the same error "Volume could not be repaired because of an error."
This 2nd SATA drive only holds data (I'm a musician so it only holds sample data for streaming in Logic) but it contains allot of information (185GB used of 233GB) which according to my math comes out to about 80% used. This should be acceptable amount, correct? The drive also has Journaling enabled, though I'm not sure if its relevant or not.
What should I do? The drive itself seems to be working fine, but why would disk utility have a problem reading/repairing it if its indeed fine. Should I be worried? The drive is probably no more than 2 years old, so it cant be drive failure yet, can it?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Update: I tried to graph the problem drive again in diskwarrior, and this time an error occurred! This obviously did not happen the first time I used diskwarrior to graph and build a new directory, so something must have happened recently. What could have happened? What should I do?

Yes, that's fine.
The drive also has Journaling enabled, though I'm not
sure if its relevant or not.
Hmm, I think I once had a drive with a directory problem that couldn't be fixed with DiskWarrior without journaling being (temporarily) disabled. After disabling journaling, I used DiskWarrior to Rebuild the drive's directory, then I reenabled journaling.
What should I do? The drive itself seems to be
working fine, but why would disk utility have a
problem reading/repairing it if its indeed fine.

can it?
I'm afraid it could be, I've had drives fail at any time between half a year after purchase up to 3 or more years after. Though often one hears the drive "die", or notices very slow performance due to bad blocks being weeded out, and the S.M.A.R.T. status - visible in Disk Utility (only for internal drives) in the bottom right, when you select a drive (not volume) is an indicator of a harddisk's health as well (though not the most complete, see this hint, or S.M.A.R.T. Guard).
Update: I tried to graph the problem drive again in
diskwarrior, and this time an error occurred! This
obviously did not happen the first time I used
diskwarrior to graph and build a new directory, so
something must have happened recently.
Did you try to repair anything with Disk Utility in the meantime?
What could
have happened? What should I do?
So did the Repair with DiskWarrior not finish? What kind of error was it?
In my experience, DiskWarrior mostly fixed any directory trouble. For more serious cases, see this thread.

Problems with mail and Mac App Store, can't reinstall mavericks.

I have a 2012 Macbook Air. A while ago, I started getting this message when I tried to open mail.
Also, when I try to open the mac app store, it looks like this regardless of the tab I choose.
First, I tried backing everything up through time machine and restoring my mac, but that did nothing. Next, I tried repairing the disk through recovery mode, but it said everything was ok. Lastly, I tried reinstalling Mavericks through recovery mode, but I got a message saying "OS X Mavericks failed to download. Use purchases page to try again." Of course, I can't use the purchases page because it won't load . The nearest Apple store is 2 hours away, so I'd really like to avoid visiting one, if possible. I would be grateful beyond words for any help. Thanks in advance.

Just to confirm, you can boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
When you select to reinstall OS X, what happens?
Fix for missing MAS
It's possible #1 will do the trick, but you might need to do the additional steps in Keychain access.
1. Delete the files /var/db/crls/crlcache.db and /var/db/crls/ocspcache.db. These can be found using Finder’s Go >; Go To Folder menu (Cmd + Shift + G). This resets the cache of accepted certificates in the system. It doesn’t remove them, it just forces the system to rebuild the caches upon restart.
2. Open Keychain Access (/Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access). Select Certificates in the Category picker on the left side. In the search bar, type in the word Class. Look through that list, and find any certificates that have a blue + symbol over their icon. These are the ones you need to modify.
Select one that has a blue +, and hit Command + I. Click the disclosure triangle beside the “Trust” list to show the list of permissions. Now, what we need to do is to set this certificate to use the system defaults. However, for some reason, when you select it, it doesn’t save. So what you need to do is this. Under “Trust”, where it says “Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)”, change the dropdown menu to say “No Value Specified”. Then, close the window. It will ask for your administrator permissions. Then, open the info pane for that certificate again. Under “Trust” again, now set the dropdown that says “When using this certificate:” to say “Use System Defaults”. You can then close out of the info pane, and enter your password again. Do this for any of the certificates that have a blue + on their icon. There should only be one or two at most.
(Note: I had to toggle the settings before it would stick)
Restart your system.

Can someone help, please?

When you click on 'Edit Page' (top right hand corner) you should be able to edit both sets of tabs there and each individual tab properties.

Someone PLEASE Help Me With Mail App!!

even though i get emails, it does not give me red bubbled notification with numbers on it on the mail app logo..why is this and what should i do??

If you haven’t found a solution yet, try the following to determine the scope of the problem:
1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts and create a new user account for testing purposes.
2. Either log out of your main user account or just quit Mail so that it does not interfere with the other user account.
3. Log in as the newly created user and set up Mail anew there.
4. For spam-related security reasons, go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
5. If you set up a POP account, go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced and disable Remove copy from server after retrieving a message if it’s enabled, to avoid messages being accidentally removed from the server while testing.
6. Check whether the problem also happens when logged in as another user.
BTW, I don’t understand why Mail would show a “Removing message attachments” activity while downloading the messages...

PLEASE HELP - Problem with 2 column fixed template in Dreamweaver CS3

I am trying to create a website using the 2 column fixed, right sidebar, header and footer html template in Dreamweaver CS3. I tried putting a picture in the right side bar as well as with in the main content or left portion of the page, and neither picture is showing up when I view it in any of the browsers I'm using.
I've made some minor changes in colors and sizing, but other than that no other changes. The pic I put in for the header is showing up just fine though.
Any help or advice to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Here is the base Dreamweaver code including the pic references that I'm trying to show on either side - when the browser opens, it only shows a blank space where the pics should be... let me know what you think. Thanks!!
