Anyone know why since May 18th I get this when checking my POP3 mail from Mail? 'The server returned the error: The attempt to send data to the server "(null)" failed.' Looked at all the debates on here, nothing works. APPLE?!

<rant>I have seen many people complaining about this. I've seen lots of suggestions; change your POP3 SSL number, twist your knee backwards whilst standing on just your little finger. Nothing works. I'd like to not have to migrate to a new Mail software.

I thank you.

MY SOLUTION REPOSTED FROM ANOTHER THREAD:
I've just solved a similar issue.
I have a dedicated server running Plesk 9.5 and when I upgraded to iLife 11 and Snow Leopard this error appeared. I could quickly click "get mail" and I'd get all my mail, but only 3-4 of my 9 mail accounts would connect. Theo others would have the error:
"The server error encountered was: The attempt to read data from the server..."
I found solutions for those using IMAP mail:
modify the /etc/courier-imap/imapd configuration file and change MAXDAEMONS from 40 to 80 and MAXPERIP from 4 to 40. This allows all the machines behind my home firewall to connect to multiple accounts on the e-mail server with mailbox caching enabled.
I'd made this change on my server but it didn't seem to have any effect. It dawned on me that I'm using POP, not IMAP. So I found in /etc/courier-imap/pop3d the same settings. I changed the MAXDAEMONS from 40 to 80 and MAXPERIP from 4 to 40 and voila, all my connections concurrently worked.
This has taken me more than two days to fix and I hope posting this helps someone else with the same issue.

I have a new MBP running 10.7.5 and I do not have idvd, anyone know why or how I can get this please?

I am a newbie to imovies and the proper procedure on the tutorials I have watched demonstrate that to burn a project to media, in this case a dvd, I need idvd, can somone point me in the right direction please?

Hello there! I had the same thing with mine. I google'd around a bit and found out that iDVD along with iWeb were discontinued, thus no longer being included even though it was advertised iLife 11' had those apps. but from what i was told iLife 11' on the MacBook Pro 2012s were different.
I called Applecare and complained and my argument was that it was advertised my Mac had iLife 11' so i should get the FULL iLife 11' so eventually they sent me out a disk with the other 2 apps on it. I suggest you call them and see if they can do the same.
Hope that helps.

Does anyone know why since upgrading to ML notes are not visible in Time Machine. They used to be part of mail and could be recovered from Time machine but since ML I don't seem to be able to access notes in Time Machine. Any help would be useful.

Welcome to Apple Communities
Mail doesn't support notes. If you use iCloud, you have them in it because Notes is an application

3 to 4 times before my phone rings.. I have tested this with several family and friends calling me..

If this were happening to me I would try resetting the System Management Controller. Next step would be to take it to an authorized service place.

When I try to back up my hard drive to an external hard drive if an alias is not correct or a file is not recognised it fails and I cannot tell the sytem to ignore the file. Anyone know why and how I can get around the problem?

Hi
I have a Mac PowerBook G4 running OSX and a Hitachi external HD. When I try to back up the data from my Mac to the HD it copies much of the data across but some files such as incorrect "alias' files and some other files do not copy. The messages I get indicate there are problems but when I click the OK button the backup stops. I then have to either delete these files or copy other files with correct alias details to overwrite the existing one. I then have to start the backup all over.
I have been carrying out a bfull backup so have been copyiing the hard drive of the Mac an pasting it into the external HD. Is this my problem? If so how do i carry out the backup function. I have been informed by Hitachi that I should be using the Mac's own "Time Machine" software but I don't seem to be able to locate this.
I have been told that there should be the option to either cancel the backup or skip the file but I don't get that.
Any ideas as I am running out of patience.

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

When i plug my iphone into my computer the only thing that happens is i get to add my pics to my computer. Usually itunes would come up and i could do everything from there ie: sync etc. Does anyone know why or how I can get it to work?

Can anyone tell me why my phone wont sync when i plug it into the computer?

In iTunes there is a setting to automatically launch iTunes when the phone is connected.

You could just make sure the option that they talk about in this article is checked.

Help! My iPhone 4 with ios7's music player resets and plays in alphabetical order everytime it's connected or disconnected to any cord anywhere! Anyone know why? Or how to resolve this issue? ?

This is driving me crazy. The player resets mid song, whenever it's connected or disconnected to any device (i.e. car, desktop, dock) and proceeds to begin playing my entire music library in alphabetical order. That 1st song is getting pretty annoying. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there any fix? I haven't found any settings or preferences for this so I'm a bit stumped and very frustrated.

Yes, I'm having that same problem. I had the same problem in iOS 6, but could get around it by starting the song I wanted before connecting the phone - annoying to have to do, but at least it worked. In iOS 7, it appeared to be fixed, but since updating to 7.02 that no longer works. In fact, not only does it play the first song (yes, it's getting VERY annoying), but when I then choose the song I want, the first song it STILL displayed on my car radio.
To make it worse, the Music app insists on keeping Repeat All turned ON. If I disable it, the next time I connect there's that first song and Repeat All turned on again.
So frustrated that I just don't listen to music on my phone anymore in the car. I should also mention that displaying the wrong song info has never happened before 7.02, but whether or not that was the cause I don't know.

LightRoom Lens Correction ... huge list (of some of which I have never heard!), but still no mention of Zuiko (Olympus) lenses in the drop-down, even in my 4th update: version 5.6. Anyone know why Olympus has been ostracised in this application?

I am now using a new Nikon, but I still have thousands of images captured with my (very good) Olympus E500, but still frustrated that its lenses do not appear in the drop-down list in the lens correction module ... not even in the latest update, version 5.6

What camera? Is it a mirrorless? Most of those have lens profiles that are built-in and always on so there’s nothing in the list.

Elements 11, getting this when trying to access editor, "Some of the application components are missing from application directory. Please reinstall."

Reinstall software. Continue to get the same message. Plus, A required application library failed to load and the product cannot continue. I have been using this program for about 11 months without any problems. This just started.

Which Photoshop version are you using? If it's CS3 - CS6 then you can download it from Adobe and install it properly. No need to rebuy it, just put in your serial number:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Windows&product=39
If it's CC, then you just get it from the main site.
Photo editor | Download free Adobe Photoshop CC trial
If you can, I would put all the files back where you moved them from, and uninstall the program properly. Otherwise you'll have file remnants laying around. Also, you're unclear if you just moved it to another location on the same computer, or a new computer. If it's a new computer then you need to deactivate the old computer as you only have two seats to use:

Javascript is not working in Safari on my iPad, version 6.1.3. Anyone know why?

I have an iPad with os version 6.1.3. Javascript on websites is not working in Safari. Does anyone know why? How can I correct this situation?

It is jquery libraries that are not functioning properly and some of the html. I have Javascript turned on. The website was working in Safari. I tested it in Safari and I viewed it many times using Safari and it worked. I went on to it on 5/8/13 and the javascript/jquery portion and parts of the html are not working. It had been tested about 4 or 5 months ago in several diffierent versions of IE, Chrome, Mozilla and Safari.
Thanks for responding to my question

I have an HP Photosmart Premium C410. It worked great with Mountain Lion, but it doesn't with Mavericks. Can't install any printing s/w even though it's on the network. Anyone know why????

So, this post, as well written as it is, went totally ignored by the HP personnel that are supposedto be "helping" us poor novices? WOW! No wonder this crap gets thrown out of the house so often.
I have two HP network printers. An HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m, and a HP Photosmart Premium C410a, and they are the most unreliable pieces of "equipment" that I have in my network. This is absolutely trhe crappiest bunch of junk on the market. The only thing worse than these "devices" is the support from HP for them.
I also have a HP Photosmart C5280 AIO, and a Deskjet D2345 Printer. I have little, to no, problems with these two. The "flagships" of my network imaging are the worst, of the worst.

When I bootup the icon for Elements shows up in orange. It changes to green only when I've gone to Finder and clicked on Elelments under the Devices list. This is a recent development. The icon used to be green upon bootup. Does anyone know why ?

I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago. I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all. I can go weeks between syncs.
Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist. Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one.
Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff). Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for. It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

Anyone know why since May 18th I get this when checking my POP3 mail from Mail? 'The server returned the error: The attempt to send data to the server "(null)" failed.' Looked at all the debates on here, nothing works. APPLE?!
