Problems sending mail: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?
I can't send e mails: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?
I had this same problem with both my imac and mac book pro using hotmail via mac mail with bt as my internet provider. Suddenly 4 months ago out of nowhere i could receive emails but could not send them. I scoured all the threads followed all the fixes none of them worked. However I just phoned apple support and fixed it in a matter of minutes. I am SO happy. This is what the technician advised me:
Go to your apple icon and scroll down to system preferences. Then dependant on what machine you have it is different for my imac and mac book pro click on either air port/wifi then the advanced tab in the bottom right hand corner. Then click on the DNS tab. Hit the + sign on the left hand side and type in 8.8.8.8 then hit the + sign again on the left hand side it will create a new line underneathe and type 8.8.4.4 then hit okay on the bottom right and then hit apply, again on the bottom right. Then send a test email to check but it should be fixed.
Had to share this. Its been driving me mad for months.

I get the message listed above when I try to email pics. It asked me to set up an email account. I chose gmail. It asked for a password. I'm assuming it was asking for my email password. And yes I may have typed it in wrong, but how do I "please make sure you have entered the email account and password correctly" ??? I can't find out how to get back to that point?

Problems with the address book server! Really need some help here!
Hello everyone!
for about some time now, we're having some troubbles with the address book server located on our Mac Pro Server running SL Server. The connected clients somehow show multiple entries of groups, contacts and everything else address book can show. Sometimes you see one group or contact about 20-30 times or even more.
How can the addressbook server on SL Server be configured that these faults won't show up again. With this present, using address book server is useless. As far as my knowledge goes, I've tried everything I can. I deleted the address book account set up on each client, readded it, but no help. I stopped the address book server on the Mac pro, but no help either.
For your further information: we're connecting 14 clients. Moste of the rum Lion, three run ML and several iDevices connect via WiFi.
Please help me, as this really is frustrating!
Looking forward for your help.
Regards,

My MacbookPro has always worked fine, receiving and sending emails through my server,Tiscali. I took it to France for a few days, and was able to receive emails and use the web (through the wireless router and server in our accomodation), although as usual when away from home, I couldn't send emails. I tried to set up a new outgoing email route using O2 (as suggested by a web article), but it didn't work, so I deleted it, and used Tiscali webmail to send emails.
When I returned home, I selected my usual outgoing server (Tiscali), but found to my great surprise, that I could no longer send emails - Mail timed out, 'unable to connect'. I noticed when clicking on: Mail - Preferences, that in the outgoing mail smpt box, Tiscali appeared, as usual, but now was followed by (Offline)
Receiving emails and web connections have remained fine.
I've checked with Tiscali, and they can't find any problem with their server or my settings. Grateful for any suggestions about possible causes for this problem, and how to fix it.
JoeI have just tried attaching the ethernet cable to the MacBook to see what happens. The system is fine, but when starting Mail, it never opens and locks up. You eventually just have to force quit out of the program.

I've recently switched routers on my iMac. The set-up seemed to go well, and the incoming mail works. The outgoing mail is the issue - it sits in the outbox buffering and doesn't send. After several calls to my service provider they decided the issue was on the "Apple side" since my internet connection seemed to be working fine, and all input information was correct - ports selected, etc. Any ideas what to try next?
Open Keychain in Utilites and delete all the "outgoing" entries (will probably be smtp.<your ISP name>.net). Then go into Mail Preferences>Accounts, clear out any passwords for the outgoing. Can't say exactly where this is or what this looks like in 10.7, since I'm running 10.6. Then enter new (EDIT: or can be the same old ones) passwords, or password. Allow Keychain to save those new ones.
FWIW, here's what this looks like in mine. -
Went through this step-by-step, but alas it did not solve the problem. For some reason I can download mail on my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but no my iMac. Connection Doctor shows all green lights. This started today when I was prompted to re-enter incoming mail server passwords. I re-entered passowrds yet again to make sure they were correct. Rebuilt the inBox. Connection Doctor continues to show all green lights, but am still unable to download mail to the inbox. Has anyone else ever run into this problem?
I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

Hi! My name is Nazım . I live in North Cyprus. I’ve got Apple Ipad 2 and Iphone 4. My ıpad2 is iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G: Serial number: DQTFFVC1DFJ3., IOS 5.0.1 (9A405), model MC775LL .my itunes is last version. I bought my ipad from America.
I’ve recently bought Philips DC390 from Apple Store in Oxford Street. Althouh Philips dock 1 seemed to work properly (charged and player). The second dock isnot compatible with my ipad2. It didn’t work(play),It charges though.
I sended e-mailed to Philips.uk for assistance. They recomend met o reset my ipad2 to see if this clears any issue, but it does indicate a fault with the unit. It didn’t work either.s(everal time Ireset my Ipad2)
In addition to this, I contacted Apple support.UK on 22nd December 2011-12-23. I informed about the problem was likely to be with the apparatur.However I tried my father’s Ipad2 last night.software is the same my Ipad2’s IOS 5.0.1 (9A405), to my surprise it worked properly. I’ve already reset my ipad2 several times but it didn’work.
I would be grateful if you could make me some recommendations to sort out the refered my problem.Hi Nazim
This is a user to user group. There is no-one from Apple here.
Use this link to contact Apple directly. -
When I send or receive e-mails, the icon showing that there is an attachment with the e-mail may or may not appear. I have contacted Apple and they do not have a solution for this issue. This is a huge problem for me.
No, the senders are in most case sending from corporate servers which are almost certainly not Mac based. Also, remember this happens when I send or receive. So if I send something with an attachment, the attachment will go through, but the sent box will not show the paper clip icon so that I can distinguish the emails sent with attachments versus the emails sent without attachments. I receive the attachments as well, but again the paper clip icon does not show up so that I can distinguish the emails that I have received that contain attachments. Recipients of my e-mails have complianed that when they receive an attachment from me they do not see the paper clip icon which alerts them to the fact that the email contains an attachment.

Problem in aligning dynamic UI with the static UI
Hi All,
I have problem in aligning dynamic UI with the static UI, I am using Matrix layout.
Static fields are spread over 2 colums and 3 rows:
lableA SPACE input field SPACESPACE lable B SPACE input field
lableC SPACE dropdown SPACESPACElableD SPACE dropdown
lableE SPACE dropdown SPACESPACElableF SPACE dropdown
Now when a value is selected in C, than E becomes visible, and depending on the values selected in E, there are dynamic UI generated, i.e dynamic lables and depending on some validation it will be either a dropdowns or input fiels or both.
at run time screen is like this:
lableA SPACE input field SPACESPACE lable B SPACE input field
lableC SPACE dropdown SPACESPACElableD SPACE dropdown
lableE SPACE dropdown SPACESPACElableF SPACE dropdown
dynaSPACEdropdown
dynbSPACEinput field
if I change my selection in E than layout looks like:
lableA SPACE input field SPACESPACE lable B SPACE input field
lableC SPACE dropdown SPACESPACElableD SPACE dropdown
lableE SPACE dropdown SPACESPACElableF SPACE dropdown
dynaSPACESPACEdropdown
dynbSPACESPACEinput field
Requirment: I need all the lables as well as dropdown/ input fiels in line with the static fields irrespective of my selection in E.
Something like this:
lableA SPACE input field SPACESPACE lable B SPACE input field
lableC SPACE dropdown SPACESPACElableD SPACE dropdown
lableE SPACE dropdown SPACESPACElableF SPACE dropdown
dyna SPACEdropdown
dynbSPACESinput field
dyncSPACESdropdown
All this elements are in a group and that group has 2 transparent containers, 1 for static and for holding dynamic UI.
I tried playing with the container properties, and also tried fixing width of dynamic UI but still the alignment issue is encountered.
Can U guys plz give in ur valuable inputs as i need to fix this urgently.
Regards,
JJHi Armin,
Can you please elaborate your solution ?, I do not have an idea of InvisibleElement & IWDView.resetView() ,
If you can give me the exact pointer than it would be great and a good learning exp. for me.
Thanks for the action assignment part, it worked.
if (wdContext.nodeMaterialClass().size() > 0 && wdContext.currentContextElement().getActionMatCls()) {
if (wdContext.currentMaterialClassElement().getMaterialClass_Description() != null || !wdContext.currentMaterialClassElement ().getMaterialClass_Description().equalsIgnoreCase(" ")) {
IWDGroup Searchgroup = (IWDGroup) view.getElement("DynGroup");
Searchgroup.destroyAllChildren();
view.getContext().reset(false);
for (int i = 0; i < wdContext.nodeMaterialCharateristcs().size(); i++) {
//this for label
IWDLabel CharLabel = (IWDLabel) view.createElement(IWDLabel.class, "label" + i);
CharLabel.setText(wdContext.nodeMaterialCharateristcs().getMaterialCharateristcsElementAt(i).getDescr_Char());
CharLabel.setDesign(WDLabelDesign.EMPHASIZED);
CharLabel.createLayoutData(MatrixHeadData.class); CharLabel.setWidth("154px"); Searchgroup.addChild(CharLabel);
further there are conditions to create either dropdown or input field
Can you please point where and how to apply your solution.
Regards,

I Haven't received incoming email for nearly a week now. I have checked the settings and the only thing that isn't there is the INCOMING MAIL SERVER section. The outgoing mail server is there and is correct. How can I get it back so that I can enter the mail server?
Hi Olivier,
Thanks very much for that. it worked on my powerbook(running Tiger). I went to the link and followed the instructions and it worked. Did i mention that my dad who has a iMac running Leopard now has the same problem. I thought i would just do the same but the Preference in Mail for Leopard is of course different. There is no icon called "Server Settings" under Accounts section like there is on mine. Do you have a link for the same kind of instructions for Leopard?
Thanks again,

I can't print using airprint from my iPhone 4. Everything with the phone and the printer and router are up to date. I can print from my iPad 2 with no problems. What's wrong with the iPhone 4?
I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).
