After upgrade to Maverick Mail does not connect to server to download emails

Since I have had my system upgraded to Maverick I can no longer download emails from my server/provider. Mail asks for the password for the user (me) and when I type it in nothing happens.
There is no problem connecting to my server/provider online, so the server is working ok. My guess is that I am missing some crucial ticked or unticked box in the mail set up. I just don't want to mess around with it without knowing what I need to do. If anyone out there has a solution, pls send a step by step.
Any help appreciated, replies might be slow - like I said, no email alerts of mails getting through at the moment (so have to read everything only when I'm online...).

Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. If there's no change, see below.
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, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

After upgrading to Mavericks, iPhoto does not work

I have an iMac early 2011, with dual hard drives. After upgrading to Mavericks, iPhoto and several other apps are no longer "installed". The following apps have a white circle with a line through it in my main Applications folder on my primary hard drive: Calculator, Chess, Font Book, iChat, iPhoto, Mail, Photo Booth, Preview, Safari, System Prefernces. Also, under the Utilities folder, these are inaccessible: Activity Monitor, System Information, Disk Utility.
I tried following this thread's advice: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5539268
I had iPhoto 9.3.2 on my main drive. I downloaded the 9.4.3 upgrade from here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/#consumersoftware
When I try to install, I get the following message: iPhoto 9.1 or later is required to install this update. Where did my software disappear to?
Every Apple upgrade so far has been a nightmare. A previous upgrade of iPhoto bricked the computer and had to bring it to professionals to fix. I am dreading the 10.9.2 "critical upgrade" for the OS that keeps poping up. The Mavericks upgrade also wiped out my Adobe Creative Suite install and several other apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need iPhoto ver 9.5.1 to be Maverick compatable.
Use the software update, look for the new app in your Applications folder along side your old versions of iPhoto. Drag the new icon down to the Dock.
Moving from 10.6.8 the old PowerPC apps are no longer supported. I believe Lion you could still run the Rosetta to keep the old ppc apps alive. No more with Mountain Lion and now Mavericks. Sooner or later you have to keep up with technology and keep apps up to date.

Since I upgraded to Mavericks Mail does not work at all

I upgraded to Mavericks yesterday (10.9.1) and now Mail simply will not work. The first time I opened the app it said it was upgrading messages and spent a while working on that. I did not interrupt the process but then it crashed and now it does not even start up.
I have repaired disk permissions and restarted in Safe Mode but it didn't help.

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, Mail does not display the count of unread messages

Hi,
I upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard (on a Macbook Pro mid 2009) when Maverick went out.
Since then the count of unread messages in the Inbox is not displayed on the Dock Icon, nor in the app itself (the label Inbox does not change to bold with a count of unread messages when I do have unread messages).
I did when to see the preferences of the app to see if the move from Snow Leopard to Maverick changed anything but I could not see anything odd.
Anyone having the same problem?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Martin Monnier

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Mail does not connect to mail servers after 10.5.7 update

Updated Macbook Air with 10.5.7 update. The update went without problems.
After starting the computer, the Mail program does not connect to the mail servers - IMAP, POP, SMTP.
Otherwise the internet connection is OK for other programs, connection is through WIFI - Airport Extreme, Time Capsule... In all cases the same problem with Mail - showing the following
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server “mail.mac.com” on port 993 failed (error 1: Operation not permitted)
The connection doctor shows
Mail was able to connect to the internet
and for all the servers - could not connect, check your connection...
Did repair of keychain and permissions - no change in status of Mail... any ideas?

This is what shows up in console: (maybe someone who can understand this can help us!)

You not only have to download the iPhoto Library Upgrader but you also have to run it on the library. It'll be in the Applications/Utilities folder. Double click on it to launch and it will automatically locate the last library you worked with and convert it.

TS3276 OS X Mavericks Mail does not sync with Exchange Server

After moving to Mavericks, mail, contacts, anc calendars do not sync with our exchange server. It will set up the first time and then stop sycning. Is there a way to delete the mail app and reinstall. All other Apple devices sync with the exchange server with no issues.

It was my DNS settings. I had my Airpot pointing to OpenDNS, and for some reason iCal and Address Book could not find their way to my exchange server. I changed the setting to use my ISP's DNS and now everything works fine.

Can't get my mail say not connect to server but I'm on facebook

Cant get my mail says not connected but on facebook

Please provide more information about the issue you are experiencing. What mail provider? What is the exact error? Do you mean that you can get onto your Facebook page via the internet? How do you see these as being related?
Cheers,

Does anyone know why after upgrading to Mavericks, Safari will not display PDF files, is there a solution?

I cannot get Safari to display PDF files, it shows a blank screen with the comment that Safri has blocked PDF, however when you unblock it still does not show the PDF, I have had to rely on Firefox for this, which I find not too good. Any help very much appreciated.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion does not to wake up from sleep

I just upgraded my Mac Book Pro mid 2009 from Lion to Mountain Lion. Everything is ok, but when I try to wake up it from a sleep, white dots fill, only last one remains grey and machine stay forever.
I really appreciate any suggestions.
Many thanks!
Sandro

My suggestion is that you reinstall Mountain Lion:
Reinstalling Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
