After 10.9.1 Upgrade, Mail Account Not Connected

Mail accounts (pop) are not staying connected after the upgrade when the Mail app opened.

It seems all is well this morning. So, Mail might not have any issues, and it might have been my company's host was experiencing problems that coincidentally occurred right after I had upgraded to 10.9.1.

Mail accounts not connecting after resume

This started about a week ago suddenly, not after any updates or new software installs.
I have 2 e-mail accounts set up within the Mail app which were working fine for years. Now they randomly show the exclamation mark next to them and won't connect. This seems to happen more after resume. Connection doctor shows that a varying combination of IMAP and SMTP in each account aren't connecting, and tells me to check settings and SSLs.
Have installed Thunderbird to check if this is Mail app specific, but that's also unstable.
I'm unsure what to do - closing and restarting the app sometimes works. Restarting the computer almost always works. I've deleted and re-added both accounts to no avail.
Has anyone had anything similar? How was it fixed. I'd rather not do a clean install.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode by putting the system to sleep and waking it up. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Mail Account Not Connecting?

I have two mail accounts named account1 and account2. When I click on "Get new messages from all acounts" account1 behaves perfectly. But account2 does nothing and the activity window simply says "[account2] Fetching sending password" and shows a progress bar with a red stop sign icon. After a while the window goes blank. If I send an email to account2 and go check the mail at comcast.net the message will be there, as expected, but it never shows up in the mail application mailbox "account2" - the malbox then shows the grey triangle with exclamation mark in the mail application sidebar. Any help???

Maybe Window > Connection Doctor from Apple Mail's menu will help.
Also, clicking on the exclamation mark(s) may provide additional information.

After Mavericks upgrade Mail 7 not automatically fetching new emails

Hello,
Since the Mavericks upgrade, Mail is not anymore automatically fetching new emails, but at the initial lauch.
I tried to modifity the settings, from 'Automatic', to 5 minute, to 15 minutes, stopping Mail and starting again each time but it does not help.
Emails are fetched only after the lauch of Mail, and when I manually ask Mail to do it.
It's really annoying.
I saw on French forums, that I'm not the only user reporting this, but I don't see many posts on the Apple forum with the exact same issue.
I don't know what to do to fix/find a workround for this problem.
If someone has any idea, I'm more than open to try it.

Try this workaround until Apple fixes it.
Copy this into a plain text file (i.e TextExit in plain text mode)
Save as com.yourname.Checkmail.plist to ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
Log out and back in, or re-boot

There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that. You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.
mannyace wrote:

Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
Unlikely. But nothing is impossible. Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.

Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.

I have a MacBook pro version 10.6.7 with snow leopard. After an scheduled software upgrade I could not open Quicken (It said it could not open the files). Now I can only open it if I have my external drive on. Can you help?

All the information that I had input on Quicken is gone. I have to have the external hard drive that I use to back up to be able to use quicken now. It is as if it was erased from the laptop hardrive

Try repairing permissions. My favorite way is with a utility called AppleJack. Info and download here. It's free. It only works when you boot in Single User Mode. When restarting or booting, hold down the Command key and S keys.
You will get a very different startup screen that looks like the Terminal app has hijacked the screen. Just let the lines of text scroll by. When that happens you will get a text entry prompt. Type in "AppleJack" without the quotation marks.
A DOS looking menu will appear. Choose 1 or d to run Disk Repair. If you get a message that Disk Repair found and corrected errors, run it again. Repeat until you get the "your disk appears to be ok" message. This rarely happens with my experience, though. This does the same thing as as booting from an external drive and running Disk Utility's repair. Only, no external drive is required!
Next, choose 2 or p to repair disk permissions. This will take a little while. AppleJack warns that it will take up to an half hour to run repair permissions. It'n never taken more than about ten minutes for my MacBook Pro.
As permissions are repaired, you will see each repair scroll on the screen. When done, the menu returns, choose q to quit. Then at the prompt, enter "exit" without the quotes. Your MacBook Pro should restart into Mac OS normally after this.
Hope this helps.

After 4.3.3 upgrade ipod does not shuffle songs

After 4.3.3 upgrade ipod does not shuffle songs. The stop shuffling after any interruption occurs. So If play in the card, get a call, answer it then go back to the music, I have to manually select shuffle. This did not occur prior to the IOS update.

WEP and Apple products are only somewhat compatible - as you are finding out. If you create your own passwords, then you have to follow specific rules - 48 bit, 5 characters, 128 bit, 14 characters. Shorter or longer, the password won't work.
If you are stuck with WEP (I'd update the laptops with a USB wireless stick before I used WEP, but that's your decision) try the following:
1. Use the 128 bit setting
2. Either create a 14 character password or use WEP key 1 (that's the hex key) in place of your password on the touch.
You could set up a second wireless access point and, as long as it used a different SSID, setup to run WPA2-AES encryption. That would take care of your modern devices.

Mail Will Not Connect

As of yesterday evening (September 12th, 2009), I have been unable to receive new emails into Apple Mail, and also was unable to connect to iChat. The second issue was solved by resetting to port 443, but after scouring the forums I have not found a similar fix for Mail that has worked for me. I have already tried restarting the computer, running software updates, and deleting the mail preferences from the library -- this last one worked until I tried to set up my accounts again, at which point I received this message:
"The Mobile Me IMAP server "mail.mac.com" is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable."
If this is the case, that the server is simply unavailable at this time, I'm willing to accept that. However, I'm receiving a similar message when I try to set up my gmail account, and I am inclined to believe that both servers have not gone down at the same time.
I don't care about loosing old emails by setting up the accounts again and starting fresh, but I don't seem to be able to receive mail that way either. Is there anything else that I can reset in account preferences? Should I perhaps try a manual setup for the accounts?
Thank you--

I do not believe that this is a password issue. After watching the Activity window and the Connection Doctor, I got a message suggesting that I turn off SSL and try again. So I did, and watched the Activity and Connections windows again, with the same result. The Connections Doctor window tells me this:
"Connection Status: Mail was able to connect to the internet."
But next to my mobile me account name is the red status light, and the message that mail "Could not connect to this MobileMe IMAP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the account preferences." Now, since this was all set up automatically, I'm guessing that I have not entered any incorrect information, but if anyone knows exactly what it should say, I'd be grateful to have that information.

Well, I've never used this API but it seems 100% clear what's wrong. And 5 seconds with Google has revealed that there's a method on that class which looks like it will address the issue.
If you can't even read basic error messages, you should seriously question whether you should be programming.

apple sign shows up and then turns off after a few seconds, and i can not connect to my itunes

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.
