Another mail problem, freezes, won't accept any account...

So I got a new rMBP and swapped everything from my other MBP. The original one is also running mavericks. I did the migration assistant, everything transferred. Then I open mail, and it prompts for an account setup. Upon entering account info, it either crashes or freezes mail.
If you look in the accounts menu, all of the previous accounts did transfer, just mail did not pick them up. In Mail, under the Mail menu, preferences is greyed out. It doesn't matter if they are gmail or "AOL" accounts Mail doesn't recognize them. I contacted Apple Care, they did a screen share, and didn't have any idea either, and were going to escalate to an engineer. I've been waiting 5 days now, so I'm hoping someone can offer some sort of workaround/fix.
Anyone have any idea of a way around this? What is very interesting, is if I create a new user on the machine, and log in there, I can set up Mail properly. Which tells me something stupid got tweaked during the transfer.
This is my main machine for business, so I really would like to get my email working.

I have the same problem and so far have not been able to find a fix for it. Did you manage to find out how to fix this? Thanks

Mail won't accept any commands post IOS 5

Just dopwnloaded IOS5. Now, I can open Mail, it downloads my emails well enough but then it won't accept any interaction.
Really bizarre... Anyone had similar issues?

I just called Bell and we switched Bell to my primary SMTP and my home to the secondary and now I can send email from my iPhone again.
Not sure why this changed with iOS 5.0?

My cd drive won't accept any cd

My cd drive won't accept any CDs or DVDs it's like there's something blocking it from entering, and it does these funny nose everytime I turn on my Mac book pro......... This problem started today after I was trying to insert a disk in, at first it was accepting the disk then spitting it out after 2 time it just wouldn't accept it anymore....... I have a Mac book pro mid 2010 processor 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo Memory 4gb 1067 MHz ddr3 software OS X 10.8.2 (12c60)

Are you sure that there's nothing stuck in the optical drive? Try the below eject methods to see what happens.
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

Labelflash-Ulead-Won't accept any images

Hi,
I have a Toshiba A305-S6872. The system came with ULEAD Movie Factory 5. I am playing around with the labelflash and trying to make a label on ULEAD. I used the drop down to choose the D: Matish DVD Drive. Then when I try to add an image, it won't accept any image. If I put it on color it just does nothing. But when I click texture and browse to find the image it tells me the image is the wrong format or corrupted. I ahve tried every available image on different media's. I have used pictures from my camera disk, the web, my files, etc. It won't accept anything. I have read the ULEAD manual and can't find any reference to the format. I am trying to make the label without a disk in because I just wanted to get familiar with the software. I haven't found the disk yet. Could that make a difference?
Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
Thanks, Lynn

I had the same problem while trying to make a label for my disks. It did not matter if I was using a printer or using labelflash, the ULEAD DVD program would not load images. I searched hours on the support sites for my computer and the software. Finally I found that a service pak fix may be needed for some programs that might be entirely compatible with Vista.
Try:
http://www.ulead.com/spotlight/vista/runme_2.htm
Go to this site and download the appropriate service pak for your version of ULEAD DVD moviemaker. I have a 5.3 version so I downloaded the 5 plus. Now my pictures and images are accepted by the ULEAD program. The entering choices of the program are different so you choose one, such as Audio/Data. Then in the verbstrip Files you can choose label@once to make your disk label.
Hopes this works for you! I'm not a computer geek. Just your average person with a computer!

I deactivate CS6, and I want to activate it on another computer, but it won't accept my serial number.

Nancy Olivier are you trying to install Creative Suite 6 on a computer which already has Creative Cloud installed? If so then please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html for information on how to install previous version of Adobe Creative titles through your membership.

I can't log in to my computer. It won't accept any names and passwords from any accounts.

This is my work computer, and it started 3 days ago. It won't accept the name and password of any account in the office, except for the localadmin log in. That works just fine. I have tried all the basic troubleshooting like restarting, unplugging the computer, unplugging the network cable. Doesn't help. The login screen shakes like I typed in the wrong password.
It is connect to a network with other macs and PCs. We use Windows Small Business Server 2003, I don't know if that has anything to do with the issue.
Today the problem also started affecting a Mac Book Pro, which is also connected to the network.
Is there an update we are missing? What's going on?

Are you authenticating to an Active Directory server? If so, that's where the problem is.

HELP .. mail 3.2 won't accept password

I have several email accounts that have been working until today.
One of the accounts will not allow me to check email. It keeps asking for the password and then it won't accept it.
I have tried going into preferences/accounts to re-enter the password and it still won't work.
Nothing has changed and all the other accounts are working fine.
I even went into keychain and deleted the account file and it will not accept the password.
Please help me .. I need to check my mail.
Chuck

I suggest running Keychain First Aid on your login keychain via Keychain Access.
Have you tried logging in to this account via webmail access using a browser to confirm you are able to login and access the account with this password separate from the Mail.app?

HT204053 help. I updated to IOS 7 yesterday , and changed my e-mail. But my icloud hasn't changed the e-mail and won't accept any paswords!!!

Changed my e-mail address.
today tried to update my apps on my iphone and it is asking for the Apple ID password for the old e-mail. I have tried that password and the new one, it won't take anything. Neither will icloud. I am completely locked out of updating anything.

Please follow these steps in order to get it working properly again.
Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here:http://appleid.apple.com
Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
Now, everything should working properly again.

This Connection is Untrusted keeps coming up. It won't accept any certificates.

Whenever I try to go to any page that requires a log in I keep getting this message page "This Connection is Untrusted". On some pages it won't give me the option to accept and go on ( example: when I try to log in to YouTube). It seems that Firefox does this when I unplug my computer for a couple of days. I've tried to go into settings and change the certificates part but I can't get anything to work.

Check the calendar/clock on your computer, to be sure that the date/time are correct. If your computer will not hold/keep the correct information, you may need to replace the "coin" battery on your motherboard (see your manufacturer or your computer manual for instructions and to determine whether you have a replaceable battery or if it is soldered to the motherboard).

Why can't I use Yahoo mail? It won't delete any emails. Google chrome does it right. Fix it or you will lose our business

Yesterday, Aug. 22, Mozilla suffered a massive & complete breakdown in handling Yahoo. Originally I thought it was a virus. I immediately switched to Google Chrome & worked on it w/o difficulty all day long. Yahoo was pushing all data/articles to the left side of the screen. That fixed today, Aug. 23. HOWEVER, the problem with Yahoo mail persists. Out of the blue, it's impossible to delete any Yahoo emails on Mozilla. If you single click to select a list of emails to be deleted, they open automatically. There's no "delete" at the top of the screen to get rid of it. It's very annoying. Somebody's messing with your system (alone). Google Chrome & Microsoft Explorer worked just fine all day. FIX IT!

YES!!! IT WORKED!!! THANK GOD! Mozilla is so much more fun than Google Chrome--- All my bookmarks were saved & my passwords, too! And now my Yahoo Mail is working beautifully again! What a relief!

Ipod skips songs and / or freezes, won't play any song

Listening to my ipod I skipped to next track, but no sound came. Looking at display I noticed that the ipod had skipped about twenty tracks. Tried going back to track I wanted to play but ipod wouldn't play it - time display stuck at 0.00 for a few mins then skipped to next track, same problem. Went to completely different track - same problem.
Checked on itunes - all songs played fine, both those listed under my home hard drive, and those listed under the ipod's drive on itunes.
Resynched ipod - same problem - initially one or two songs would play, but when trying to play the specific track I first tried, it would skip through the next twenty or so tracks then stop playing anything.
Tried soft reset - same problem.
Tried restoring to factory settings - same problem.
Took to apple store genius bar - they made no attempt to work out what was going wrong, just replaced ipod as it was still under warranty. Got home and resynched all songs - same problem!
This suggests it is a problem with the song files, but I don't understand why they play fine on itunes. Also, the file type (mp3), bit rate, sample rate, file size, etc is exactly the same in both locations.
Have tried all troubleshooting tips on this site, and all software is latest version.
Any ideas?

Good night, Chris.
Well, it may have lots of reasons: changing files from original folders, uninstall/install codecs in other programs, errors on iTunes Sync service, deleted .dll's, viruses and etc...
To easier the work for you, you can do it in all your iTunes library or make a backup of your files and reinstall iTunes (enjoy to update it, if you haven't yet).
Try "consolidate files" also, it can avoid that iTunes search from the files in wrong places, and automatically organize your .mp3/.aac files.
In a last tool, try to change the iTunes import preferences.
Once you are in a high step level, give a glance on this things on:

and give a special look to this scripts:

Hope to help.

Premiere CS2 won't accept any format other than MPEG-1

Hi there.
The fact that i'm using an old version of Premiere isn't relevent, please do not ask me to upgrade.
I've had the same problem with the same version on my old cumputer by the end, but it works perfectly for the first couple of months. However, Pro 2 always reachs a point in his life where, like now, he becomes as stuborn as an old man, and suddenly stars to refuse any -I really mean ANY- format, with the unfortunate exception of MPEG1. Divx, MPEG2, Uncompressed AVI, DV, HDV, nothing works except this crappy MPEG1.
When I try to import DivX, it crashes. With HDV or any MPEG2, it keeps "Indexing" the file, over and over and over again. Since I work with HD Video, and have an HDV cam, you can see it's really a problem...
I tried to uninstall/re-install, repair, nothing worked.
Every other function works, including the Export, in any usual format (Avi, Adobe HD, MPEG2.....)....
I didn't find any other topic relating to my problem. I remember seeing one where the guy thought it was because the Folder was set on "Read only", but it's been the case since the very begining (the joys of Vista), and has nothing to do with the problem.
Thanks for your help !

I really rarely use DivX, I only use MPEG2, or MOV files. I used DivX only for some special effect some time ago. and did a project after that that went really well (with HDV).
This is interesting, as PrPro has never handled DivX (or Xvid) well, if at all. At best, one usually got either the Video, or the Audio (the former was usually the case).
I wonder - have you installed any CODEC packs? Have you installed FFDShow? These often break PrPro's ability to handle formats/CODEC, that once worked. I strongly recommend on their complete removal.
Now, back to DivX/Xvid: I have both on my machines, and neither has ever given me a problem. I do not try to edit those CODEC's, as they are highly-compressed and are designed for delivery-only.
I'd look at things like the CODEC packs, mentioned above. Your issue is likely there, or very similar.
Good luck,
Hunt
