10.5.7 cannot send & receive faxes

Using the latest version of Leopard(10.5.7) it is not possible to set your mac to RECEIVE faxes and then SEND faxes.
So each time you want to send a fax you need to go into System Preferences, Print & Fax, choose "External Modem", click on "Receive Options", then untick "Receive Faxes" – then you can switch to the document you want to fax and print it.
Once the fax has fully completed, you have to go back and re-tick "Receive Faxes".
If you have Receive Faxes ticked in System Preferences when you are trying to send a fax, it causes the fax queue to hang and only a reboot can resolve the issue. Simply deleting the job from the queue does nothing.
We are using the official Apple USB Modem and latest software in a medical clinic, so the fax is very important to us.
Applecare has assured us the issue is being working on – who can tell when it will be resolved.
If you are considering a mac to use in your office and need it to work as a fax, do not assume it will function as advertised.

Thanks everyone for providing suggestions and feedback.
We have downloaded a trial copy of PageSender but have found that when faxing documents from Microsoft Word, it is extremely slow. Sometime 5 minutes, sometimes 15 minutes, sometimes it simply never sends the fax at all and just sits in the queue.
PageSender support is aware of the problem and seem to think it might be font related with Leopard, but I am not comfortable deleting fonts that are installed on our computer.
FAXstf PRO also looks good, but as far as I can tell they do not offer a trial version of their software that works with Leopard. They do offer a trial, but only for Panther and Tiger.
Since both Apple's and PageSenders fax solution do not meet the minimum requirement of being able to send & receive a fax, we will not spend money on FAXstf PRO hoping it will work.
I have tried emailing SmithMicro to get an updated trial of their software and will let people know whether I am successful and it works as advertised.

Cannot send/receive fax reliably. ATA 187, CUCM 10.0, 2911

We have had ongoing issues with not being able to send/receive faxes reliably since we've installed this new phones system (previously we were on a Nortel system).
We are trying to fax using HP 4345 MFP, HP 3035 MPF, Richo MP 171.
Often faxes fail to send with a remote disconnect error or when we receive we only get about 1/2 of the page.
Where do I start looking first? Is it the ATAs, CUCM, Voice Gateway or a combination?

Cannot send/receive Fax through Windows Fax and Scan

Having a problem with Windows Fax and Scan on Small Business Server 2011 Standard SP1. When I call the fax number, I can see the line ringing in the Fax Status Monitor, but it errors out with "The incoming call cannot be answered as a fax
call". I've also tried sending and receive an error: "No dial tone was detected" I've connected a regular phone to the line and placed an outside call and received a call from an outside line. No errors are logged in Event
Viewer, but If I check the Server Roles, Fax Server shows Event ID 32092, 32032 and 32031
Troubleshooting so far has consisted of:
Restarting Fax service
Removing/Readding the Fax Account in Windows Fax and Scan
Checked Print Spooler and Fax queue for held documents to clear (none)
Uninstalled/reinstalled the fax modem in Device Manager
Run Windows Update(several security updates pending)
Checked the DeviceToMonitor key in HKCU to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fax\UserInfo matches the DeviceName key in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fax (at one point it did not match)
Removing/Readding the Fax Role. In the process, also removing registry keys: HKLM_SOFTWARE_MICROSOFT_FAX, HKCU_Software_Microsoft_Fax, HKLM_SOFTWARE_Microsoft_Windows_CurrentVersion_Telephony_CountryList, HKLM_SOFTWARE_Microsoft_Windows_CurrentVersion_Telephony_Locations.
At one point or another, I have already reviewed the following links:

Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft
does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
Event ID 32032 — Sent Fax Status

On current situation, please refer to the following steps to troubleshoot. Then check if can find more clues
and help us to solve this issue.
Please verify if the incoming fax can be received from other fax machines.

Just for a test. Would you replace the old modem with a new one? Then monitor the result.
Hope this helps.

TS3274 how come all of a sudden, I cannot send/receive messages, but I can receive e-mails in my Ipad?

HOW COME I CANNOT /SEND RECEIVE MESSAGES, BUT I CAN RECEIVE EMAIL?

Sending and receiving messages has absolutely no relation at all to sending and receiving email.
Your iPad is not a cellular telephone. It cannot send or receive SMS text messages. It can only send or receive iMessages, which are messages to/from other Apple devices (only) on a WiFi or a cellular network that supports iMessage.

Since upgrading to Yosemite three days ago I cannot send/receive emails. Can anyone help please?

Cannot Send A Fax

When I try to send a Fax, the Internal Modem window shows thathe Modem is trying to send a Fax but I do not hear a dial down and the Fax is never sent.
I can hear the modem dialing if I use the "Internet Connect" window but I do not want that window to appear, let alone use dial up instead of my DSL Ethernet connections.
Suggestions?

Martin,
"DO YOU MEAN THAT I CANNOT FAX IF I AM USING DSL?"
Not unless you reset the Network preferences, and use a telephone wire, as I previously advised.
I have DSL as well, and when I want to send or receive a FAX, I disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Mac Ethernet port, plug a wire from the wall jack to the Internal Modem port on the Mac.
I have a two port Splitter/Filter plugged into the wall jack.
The Cable/DSL Modem wire, is always plugged into one of the ports on that splitter.
When I want to use the FAX function, I plug the telephone wire into the other port, but I do not unplug the Cable /DSL Modem.
The Splitter/Filter may not be a necessity. If you don't have one, just unplug the Cable Modem wire from the wall jack, and plug in the telephone wire.
I then set the Network System Preferences, back to the Internel Modem, deselect the Built-in Ethernet, selecting Internal Modem, and dragging it to the top of the window.
This of course will disconnect the Mac from the DSL connection, and you can then use the Internal Modem to send or receive a FAX.
Also review this Topic Faxing, for additional tips.

Curve 8520 cannot send/receive calls or SMS when in range of WiFi - since foreign holiday

Re-posting this in the Curve forum, where it belongs... hoping someone can help.
Recently the whole family went to Spain for two weeks. All four of our phones (a Google Nexus 4, a BB Curve 9300 and two BBCurve 8520s) worked OK in Spain, connected to local mobile networks, sent and received texts and so on.
Since returning to the UK, the BlackBerry handsets have all had problems getting re-registered to our home network (giffgaff, which uses the O2 network, as I understand it). The nexus has been fine from the moment we got back, but the BB handsets are not.
The symptoms: when in range of a registered WiFi connection, the phones cannot send or receive texts (SMS) or make or receive calls, when out of range of WiFi, they do (sometimes) succeed. It is as though the WiFi settings are over-ruling the service books / HRT for the mobile network.
The 9300 seems to have sorted itself out, thanks (possibly) to an OS upgrade. The 8520s remain basically useless.
We have tried: battery pulls, SIM pulls, manual network registration, clearing the service books and re-registering, switching SIM cards between the phones (whichever SIM is in the 9300 works OK, whichever SIM is in the 8520 does not work), OS upgrade.
The network shows on the handset screen, and connection is shown as EDGE. But calls do not get connected and SMS messages fail with "too many retries". Attempts to re-register the handset result in a message being received that the handset has been registered but it makes no difference.
The network provider (giffgaff) say they have done everything they can, and I should speak to "an engineer" - but it seems very unlikely to me that all three phones suffered a hardware fault while flying home from Spain, and that the 9300 somehow fixed itself. So I'm convinced it is a registration issue, but giffgaff are not exactly confident in their support for BB.
So - has anyone ever seen this behaviour before, and how can we fix it?
Thanks

Is there a free way to send/receive faxes with a Mac?

efax is not a reasonble option anymore as it does not allow for Mac viewing software, so is there another way to send and receive faxes on a Mac (preferably for free).

"Thank you, the problem with eFax is they have not kept up with Mac Development so the new OS' do not support the viewers that eFax puts out and you can't read their file format without that. You can open online, but you can't do anything with the fax after opening it, can forward, can save, etc..."
True, you can't use eFax software, however, I have asked them to send me the fax in pdf form and that works out just fine.

I just got a new 3gs and upgraded it to ios5. It works great, but I cannot send or receive mms. The camera button that shows up when sending a message is grayed out and I cannot touch it. I don't know what to do in order to fix this issue.
Thanks

Cannot send / receive emails

I have recently upgraded to ML on both my iMac and Macbook Pro. Although they were both fine before, I now find that I cannot send or receive emails on the iMac. I can receive but not send on my Macbook.
I also have a PC, on which I can both send and receive, so it is not the server. All my settings seem to be OK. I appreciate that this has been discussed in previous posts, but I am at a loss as to why one machine half works but the other does not. Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

The upgrade to Mountain Lion in this case may have caused the Mail app to lose all of its Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) settings in Mail>Preferences>Accounts. This happened to me and others in this Forum. You would need to contact your ISP to obtain the correct settings for these two servers and re-enter them in the above location. I know, Apple slipped a bit on this one.
Hope this helps

Cannot send outbound fax using PAP2T

I have a PAP2T set up with a phone on line 1, which is working fine, and fax on Line 2. I have a problem with the fax. Inbound faxes are received OK, but Icannot send outbound faxes. The fax machine says that it is sending then just stops without feeding the sheet through, as if it isn't communicating. I have followed these instructions on the Linksys site, but they have not helped: link
I have Firmware version 5.1.6(LS) installed. We have tried two different fax machines and neither work.
Can anyone please advise on the best way to get this working - there must be someone out there who is doing it!? Would the SIP provider I'm using be causing the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Cannot send/receive iMessages

Hi guys.
I have an iPhone 5s (AT&T) running iOS 7.1.1. Ever since I updated to 7.1, I've had issues with iMessage. At the time, iMessages would only send to certain people. The issue was bothering me, so I decided to restore my phone. The issue persisted. When 7.1.1 released, I'd restored my phone and upgraded. Note that I am not restoring from a backup, but setting it up as a new device every time. Only this time, I cannot send nor receive iMessages on my phone at all.
I've tried disassociating my Apple ID and sending an iMessage. When I go to Settings > Messages > iMessage, it shows iMessage as enabled. There is no "activation error," as other users have experienced. When I use another iPhone to try and send a message to myself, even if iMessage is disabled on my end, it shows the blue Send text, meaning I'm running iMessage. I still receive iMessages on both my Macs.
Since I still get internet on my phone, it leads me to believe this is a software issue.
Since I've restored my phone multiple times, and the issue was present in multiple versions of iOS, it leads me to believe it is a hardware issue.
Since I can't send iMessages even without an Apple ID associated with my phone, it leads me to believe it is an issue with AT&T.
Since I can still send SMS/MMS messages, it leads me to believe it is an issue with Apple.
As you can see, there are quite a few of contradictory thoughts I'm having.
Any advice at all is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jacob

Note that I have gone through the procedures listed at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755.
I have also followed a few techniques other users have found who've experienced other iMessage issues (ex. turning off iMessage, resetting network settings, rebooting.)

I cannot send a fax on my 7510.

Althought I have received a fax number and pin from Efax.com ; I am unable to send any faxes. I keep getting error messages that my fax number and pin are invalid; although Efax.com says the problem is not on their end and I must contact hp products.

Issues Resolved By Fix:
Can't Send eFaxes
Can't Receive eFaxes
Can't Login to eFax on the front panel of the printer.
Can't Register eFax on the front panel of the printer.
When trying to access eFax, it says that the printer is not connected wirelessly.
When trying to access eFax, it asks that you enable web services before continuing.
The Fix:
First, press the ePrint button in the top left hand corner of the screen on your printer to access the Web Services menu.
Once there, press the “Settings” button.
If ePrint is turned on, turn it off and then back on. Press the return button and then press “Print Report”.
If ePrint is turned off, turn it on. Press the return button and then press “Print Report”.
These steps might sound strange since the issue is with eFax, but eFax works on the printer through the ePrint service.

Cannot Connect to Port 26 - Cannot Send/Receive Mail

I have Maverick on my MacBook Pro.
All of a sudden, with NO CHANGES MADE to my system, my email no longer works. I cannot send or receive. I get the error:
===========
The server “mail.mydomainnamel.com” cannot be contacted on the default ports.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
Sending from: [email protected]
=============
I use port 26 to send. Receiveing is mail.mydomain.com
OSX recently updated. Could that of screwed up my settings or broke something?
My internet proider says the issue is not on their end.
Any help would be appreciate.
Patrice

Ok, I rechecked my router page by page and have found one solution .. .the https management page of the router defaults to 443 - so have changed that to 4443, rebooted router and can now access my http://mydomain/owa - so that is good. However, still
cannot telnet to port 25 on the exchange server from external. The port forwarding is definitely correct for port 25.
I have rechecked the receive connector: MAIL FLOW - RECEIVE CONNECTORS - DEFAULT FRONTEND SERVER
and under security - anoymous users is checked. That SHOULD let me connect yes? But it does not.
Where else does this need to be changed - can you advise?
regards
