AOL offline message when attempting to send mail on new Macbook air yosemite OS despite fixes. Not sure how to fix.

I have MAcBook Air MD760B/B- new today! 1.4GHz 13 inch with intel core i5 inside.
Has Yosemite OS
I can receive AOL mail and send it through webmail but not through the apple mail. Am receiving it but despite looking at preferences, checking correct portal setting in advanced box for SMTP settings,  I am still receiving a message saying "Cannot send message using server AOL"
Any suggestions very gratefully received!

Hello clare213,
As I understand it you are able to get mail but cannot send it with your AOL account. I would use the Connection Doctor to help isolate what is the missing link so to speak:
Use Mail Connection Doctor
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

  • Error message when attempting to send mail

    ERROR MESSAGE An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Banned - Please check your envelope from address. Please check the message recipient and try again.
    Have been using Thunderbird with no problems until last week - internet provider is suggesting problem at our end rather than their server but I'm not sure...
    Any clues?

    The message is from the server. Your email provider should be able to tell why they have flagged you as 'Banned'.

  • "Capture Device Offline" message when attempting to add additional clips from HDV Videocamera,in CS5

    "Capture device off line" message when attempting to add additional clips to existing project in Premiere Pro CS5.5.2.
    Previous capture was accomplished, but, then when trying to add additional clips from same device it failed.
    All 40 minutes of some 185 clips was originally captured using Sony Vegas Moviemaker Platinum 11, with no errors. The additional mt2 clips were then successfully imported into Premiere Pro after indexing and conforming the clips, and they play perfectly well and of a high quality in CS5.5.2 at 1440 x 1080i.
    Why would the Capture device be off line , when no physical alteration has been made to the equipment ?

    Hi Joe,
    Thanks for the advice but, the splitter may not help here, now Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 12 which we also use for less complicated editing is now saying Canon HDV Camcorder is also "OFF LINE"
    I think it is a physical connection issue either with the cable , the output from the camera or input into the laptop, because it was working. The issue has been intermittent making it difficilt to diagnose. We use it only for back up as we are overseas and do not have access to our main computer. The tapes are good and the video is high quality so I will have to wait worse luck, and the technical back up for HDV in Belgium is non existent as they have no computers in the stores that have the Firewire or I33394 card.
    I have not changed any settings, I may have to wait till I get back to base in 10 days, I am also having an issue with a lens on the Canon 5 D  Mark II, which I know must go back to Service but, it still works and, has issues after I dropped it ??????????

  • Tiny font on Menu Bar & on window when using Apple Mail on new Macbook Air

    I have a new MacBook Air and all is good - except my Mail window has tiny fonts, including on the tool bar, and the Menu Bar is also has smaller fonts when Mail is active. I have made the actual messages readable but the rest of the screen is almost too small to read.

    I just got my new MacBook Air and I was also really, really disappointed that the menu bar fonts - and all default text sizes in general - are much too small. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that the optimal resolution for the monitor is now 1440x900 instead of 1280x800 as it was in the older MacBook Air models. I guess I just have to go to the optician and get myself a pair of glasses...
    But I think this is clearly a design -related problem that Apple should fix asap!

  • IPhone4 when replying or forwarding mail messages i get a message that says Cannot Send Mail address rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying

    When forwarding mail this is what i get
    Cannot Send Mail
    A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipent _________________(email address) was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying.
    Never had this problem before so not sure whats going on. Appreciate any help out there.

    Sounds like there is something wrong with your SMTP server. Try going into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select the email account in question, go to the Outgoing server (SMTP) and check the settings. It may be you do not have a username and password in one of the areas. The phone may say optional in a couple, but it is usually mandatory. You can also try a reset on the device, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If neither of these work, then you will need to delete the account, then delete the SMTP server, then add the account back, ensuring you use your username and password everywhere, even when it says optional.

  • 'Configuration Error: 6' appears when attempting to open Photoshop on new Macbook

    I had Photoshop CS5 installed on my previous Macbook which is now broken, however a friend of mine was able to copy it on to an external hard drive for me. I have now purchased a new Macbook, copied and installed Photoshop on to it from the external, however when I try to open it, 'Error: 6' appears, it states: 'Configuration error. Please uninstall and reinstall the product. if this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.'
    How do I fix this problem? Thank you in advance.

    Install Photoshop from scratch from the original medium, download or DVD.
    Whether your friend "copied" Photoshop from your own broken Mac Book or from his machine (the latter would be completely illegal software piracy, by the way), that will NEVER work on your new machine.
    First, the Photoshop installation places many auxiliary files outside the Photoshop folder all over the place.  Copying misses a bunch of critical files.
    Second, the activation of the installed copy of the activation is tied to the serial numbers on the CPU of the machine and is useless in any other machine.
    I repeat:  Install Photoshop from scratch from the original medium, download or DVD.

  • Receiving Relay Access Denied message when trying to send mail

    Hello,
    I have a client who getting the following error when sending a message:
    domainname-com.mail.protection.outlook.com[207.46.163.215] said: 550 5.7.0 Relay Access Denied (in reply to RCPT TO command)
    I think this is a Microsoft/outlook.com issue.
    Please advise.
    Have a great day,
    Don

    Hi,
    Please send emails to different addresses, check if the message will always return.
    What is the user's account type? If it's Outlook.com via Exchange ActiveSync, then we should check the service status on
    www.live.com. If the there's trouble sending from Web as well, it should be somthing related to the recipient's side, contact them via a possible portal and let them know that they seem to have rejected your emails.

  • Why do I get this message when attempting to sync "The iPhone "Brownsugar" cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 2.73 GB required)' when there is 3.5 GB available?

    I haven't been able to sync my phone throroughly for almost a month now> Help!!!

    I believe the reference is to space on your hard drive, not on your iPhone.
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
    See Lion's Storage Display.
    You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
    Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
    See Where did my Disk Space go?.
    See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.

  • Error message when attempting to use scanner Canon model MP610

    Error message when attempting to use scanner Canon model MP610, any one have any fixes, suggestions?

    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, empty trash, reboot when complete.
    For the other problems...
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • I am getting an error message on all devices when attempting to access mail.

    Although I have made no changes to an account I have used for over 5 years now, I suddenly am getting error messages on my iPhone, my wife's iPhone, my iPad, and my laptop when attempting to download mail from my account. The messages are all server or password related. I logged into iCloud.com and while everything else is functioning correctly, attempting to access mail yielded an error message as well (with the option of reporting the error to Apple). Obviously this is a server issue, but I don't see any other postings online, so am uncertain how wide-spread the problem is. I need recommendations regarding the most efficient way of reporting this problem to Apple in order to access my email as soon as possible!!
    I have put myself in the express lane for assistance later today, but don't know how helpful that route will be! My devices show that the last time mail could be accessed was yesterday at 8:20 PM.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Same issue here in WI and for me it was at 6:36p CST.
    I'm changed my password, removed iCloud from my phone ... tried 3G and WIFI with no luck. I also cannot check it on my Mac or iPad. I was able to get contacts and calenders back on my phone but no mail yet.
    Did the whole Apple support thing and apparently I'm part of the 1%
    EDIT: Question: are all of you former MobileMe users as well? Just wondering because I know there were going to be some changes as they completely move MobileMe over to iCloud and drop the "extra" services. I just can't remember if it was just a single cut off date or a series of dates. THAT email is stuck in my iCloud folders.

    The usual fix: Delete the account from your Preferences and Re-Enter it.

    When trying to send mail I get a message the message was rejected by the server because it doesn't allow relaying!  I can send mail to myself but not anywhere else.

  • What does "Disk Full" message mean when trying to send mail?

    I have recently been getting an error message when trying to send email using Entourage - "cannot send mail using this account, disk full". Quiting all applications makes no difference, get the same message. To send email again I have to restart the computer. Then everything is fine until the next time, maybe a couple of days or weeks later.
    Any idea what the "disk" referred to in the message is? I have plenty of RAM (640 megs) and as I said earlier, even if I quit all open apps after getting the "disk full" message it makes no difference.
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Hello! Usually the disk full message occurs because the hard drive is at or near capacity. The message has nothing to do with apps except for the "virtual memory or paging" aspect of OSX. Restarting probably clears out the paging file and possibly some other stuff which allows you to work for a while. Select the hard drive and do a "get info" on it to see hoe much space is available on the hard drive. FREE space should be 10-20% and anything less than 10% will likely crash the computer or choke it to a slow crawl. Tom

  • Receiving Cannot get mail message when attempting to access Yahoo mail

    I'm receiving this message using my Iphone 4s and I've seen some posts that suggest deleting the account and then re-adding it.  I've tried this a few times with no luck.  I also changed my password, but that didn't work either.  I'm not sure what to try next.  I am able to access my work e-mail (using Outlook) through my phone so I'm not sure why the phone can access Outlook, but not Yahoo.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks Matt
    After persisting for about 24 hours, this problem has disappeared. I did in fact walk away and do something else for a few hours although the computer was left asleep not off. A day later all remains OK so I'm really no wiser as to just what or where the problem was. Regardless much thanks for your assistance.
