  • Mail not working on macbook pro

         I have no problem accessing mail on my iphone or ipad 2, but on my macbook pro all i get is a spinning gear wheel and a triangle telling me to verify my setting. I've looked til I'm blue in the face and I cant work it out, anyone help!

    When you set up an exchange account in Mail, it automatically appends /exchange/username to the servers when it sets up your account. So, no, that's not the answer. It's not enough that you can access Outlook Webmail, there's a server-side difference between browser-based access (true webmail) and mail client-based access. Although Mail allows you to set up an exchange account, most server admins block off-network mail client access (i.e. users at home can use a web browser, but not Outlook, to access their account from their home computers). Further, Mail cannot access the Exchange server directly (if it could, you could access your account if you were connected to your corporate network via a VPN, which you could do now with Entourage).
    Bottom line, unless the server admin allows access, you are not going to be able to set this up on your own. If your IT department will allow access, they will probably help you set it up (but, it will most likely be via Entourage and a VPN, unless they are pretty open about their access policies - not a common trait in IT admins).
    An easier solution would be if the Exchange server is set up to allow IMAP access - but, again, this is usually not allowed for security reasons.

  • .mac mail not available on macbook pro.

    The last few days my .mac mail is not available on my macbook pro.  I tried deleting .mac account from mail and reinstalling but it says it is unavailable.  Error message reads "The server returned the error: Moved: http://me.com/move"  I can access my .mac account on other computers and iphones, just having a problem with this one computer. Any suggestions?

    Are you running DVD SP 4.0.3 on that MacBook Pro?
    It won't work.

  • I am running Mac 10.4.11 and Safari 4.1.3 - how do I update my browser so I can use the latest yahoo mail

    I am running Mac 10.4.11 and Safari 4.1.3. When using yahoo mail, a message appears that I need to update my browser to enable me to use the latest yahoo, and that the browser I'm using is unsupported.
    I've tried downloading the new version from Yahoo but I can't complete the download. Not very good at this sort of thing so any help would be most useful.
    Thanks

    You need to upgrade the computer’s OS to get a newer Safari version. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a G3, no further upgrades are available.
    If it's a G4 or G5, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay; Apple still might have copies in stock if you phone them.
    If it's an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
    Back up your data before upgrading.

  • Quicktime 7.5.5 not installing on MacBook Pro

    I have downloaded QuickTime for Leopard 7.5.5 and run the install. I follow all instructions including restarting after "Installation Successful" notification.
    After restart QuickTime is nowhere to be found, not in Applications and not showing in the sofware section of "About This Mac". Searching only locates QuitckTime help files.
    I have searched the QT support forum and cannot find an answer.
    I have a first generation MacBook Pro 1.83 ghz, 2 gigs of ram and am running Leopard. I have run software update and all software is up to date.

    I had to update my QuickTime and downloaded 7.5.5 and ran the install. I'm having the same problem. Suddenly QuickTime has disappeared from my computer. When I had an earlier version of QT, my iTunes Movies wouldn't play. Now the Movies on iTunes play, but I cannot open any video files from my camera--.AVI files. This is my first time posting on one of these forums. Thank you for your help.

  • Iphoto will not open . Wheel just keeps spinning and spinning. Cannot reboot

    My IPHOTO app will not open on my computer. When I open the app the wheel just keeps spinning .  If I try to upload a picture from my library to facebook it tells me I need to upgrade to IPHOTO 5 or above.but then my computer tells me there are no upgrades needed for my computer.  What is the issue here ? My photos just never appear.  Only the little wheel spinning

    what version of iphoto do have? Of the OS?

  • Wheel just keeps on turning on my macbook pro

    When I heard a beeping sound alarm (out of nowhere) I panicked and tried to froce quit but could not so I pushed the power button.  Able to restart but the wheel just keeps on turning.  What can I do.  This problem started after I downloaded a site to stream international TV. HELP! And how again do you force quit the correct way?

    To Force Quit:
    Choose Force Quit off the Apple menu, or type Command-Option-Esc. This brings up a window with all Applications in it, choose the one you want and press the Force Quit button in the window.
    To try to fix your troubles now:
    Restart your Mac and when the chime sounds, hold down the Shift key. This invokes Safe Mode, which does two things:
    1) It does one pass of the equivalent of "Repair Disk"
    2) It loads up Mac OS X with a minimal set of extensions and a simple screen reaolution. in hopes that enough is working that you can log in and look around -- maybe move a few files around. If it seems to be working, try restarting without Shift.

  • I got a new iPhone 5 when I went to add my music back from the cloud Not on this iPhone Rihanna for some reason will not re load to my new phone the Little wheel just keeps moving

    I got a new iPhone 5 when I went to add my music back from the cloud Not on this iPhone Rihanna for some reason will not re load to my new phone the Little wheel just keeps moving nothing ever happens.  I turned it off and still nothing
    whats up with that I have one beatles song and one kenny chesney also

    Mate, I'm trying to find out if it was shipped like that or not. If someone else has had the same issue then I can go back to Apple and have them look into it further. If not then as I said Vodafone is selling second hand phones and they will have to replace the phone.
    Vodafone account manager is saying that he has never heard of anything like it.
    So I'm left with one of 3 answers.
    1: The phone was shipped like that so its a factory error.
    2: The Apple genius doesn’t know what he's talking about then I can go back to the store and ask for a second opinion.
    3: Vodafone is selling second hand phones as new.
    I need to narrow it down so I can deal with the account manager appropriately 

  • Just purchased a 3rd generation iPad and cannot connect to house wifi.  It keeps searching for a connection but the gear wheel just keeps on turning.  The wi-fi spot is listed and I entered the security WEP code. I connected a Macbook without problems.

    Just purchased a 3rd generation iPad and tried to go thru the startup and connect to the house wi-fi.  Found the house wi-fi among the listings and was prompted to enter the WEP security code.  Gear wheel just keeps on turning and a connection is never established. I have tried this 4 times with the same results.  A desktop computer is connected and I easily connected a Macbook without any issues. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Try Settings, select the network name, click on the blue arrow to Forget This Network and try signing in again.

    Reinstalling Lion/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 Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.

    Can somebody please advise urgently...
    I backed up my entire hard-drive of my macbook pro - just prior to installing osx mountain lion.
    I put everything into a folder on my desktop - then backed it up onto an external drive. Once this was done - i deleted the folder off my desktop - and  following this - things started to go all weird...pages hanging, the coloured 'wheel of death' appeared for ages. So i had to employ a 'hard-boot' restart - as i had not other options.
    I'm pretty sure i made copies of of files/apps/folders etc - however not so sure now as i cant even start up my laptop!!!
    Can somebosy please help me urgently??!!!

    Got the exact same problem, and I also did this operation many times before, from 500Gb to 750Gb, and then from 750Gb to 1 Gb. Not My HD got a little such complaining about bad sectors when in windows bootcamp, but still runs fine though.
    So I bought a new 1Gb drive exactly same drive as the one thats getting sick. I did the clone thing, with super duper, CCC, DU, but no matter it will not boot when i move the new drive inside the macbook…….**** thing exuse me, but wasted so much time.
    Now I get this strange feeling that something must have changed in the macbook itself. Just wondering if this could be a EFI "mac bios" prevention thing, they made just to sell more new computers, when you can't improve or fix your old one.
    If so, then its pretty scary. If not then I simply can't figure out why this suddenly becomes a problem for so many people, as I see so many posts about this!!

  • That little wheel just keeps going round

    Recently my MacBook (syst. 10.6.8) has started freezing. Often it's when I'm using Firefox (version 30). I'm not sure though if the problem is Firefox or maybe the Finder, but that little rainbow wheel just keeps going round and I eventually have to reboot. I have run "Repair Permissions" from the start-up/install disk, but it still does it. I also trashed the finder prefs.
    I am worried that I've "caught" something from the internet?
    Help please anyone. Thanks.

    You could check the Activity Monitor (see Go in Finder, choose Utilities folder,
    and double-click Activity Monitor) to see what may be hanging up and wasting
    system resources. You may need to boot the computer from the Installer DVD
    and from the menu options there (do not install anything) you can access a
    few things; one of them is Disk Utility; you can check and also Repair the HDD.
    There are some ideas, & things to check that may be helpful in resolving issues
    in this site: Tech Guides - The Safe Mac http://www.thesafemac.com/tech-guides/
    There may be something else going on in the computer, so if you have a good
    backup of your content or a clone of the entire bootable system on a second
    externally enclosed hard disk drive, (it can be 'cloned' back to the computer HD)
    then you could do an erase and install, then restore from the clone-copy.
    An overly full or problematic hard disk drive may also cause such symptoms.
    Damaged files or bad sectors can be a sign of an old hard drive pending failure.
    Backup..!
    PS: images do not appear to be working, or if they do appear, don't show to others.
