Apple Mail in repair- Send computer and power cord?

MY MBP battery has needed to be replaced for a couple of months now and I have finally decided to get it fixed. I called Apple and am getting the box to mail my computer. On the phone I was told to send both my computer and my power cord. Why is this? My battery has been in the "replace now" condition for a while, so long that I've gone through multiple chargers. The only charger I have currently is a 3rd party one I bought because the Apple ones are too expensive. Let me reiterate: My computer's battery needed to be replaced BEFORE I began using the 3rd party charger. Is this going to cause a problem with getting my computer fixed?
Thanks!

Is this going to cause a problem with getting my computer fixed?
Yes, unless you send both the computer and the power adapter you can expect a delay. A Mac's charging system is comprised of its battery, the power adapter, DC-in board, and related connections. All are required to ensure a proper repair. "Replace now" means exactly what it says and must not be deferred.

You may find your counterfeit power adapter to be very expensive.

  • Thunderbird works fine, Apple Mail can't send (and other problems)

    I have both Thunderbird and Mail setup exactly alike. Thunderbird can send mail just fine, every time, from any location. Mail was able to send messages a few times but for the last few days refuses to send anything.
    Here's the setup:
    Four smtp servers
    mail.bellsouth.net
    mailer.louisiana.edu
    smtp.coxmail.com
    smtp.central.cox.net
    each is setup with password SSL authentication. Each works just fine on any other computer and even on this one with Thunderbird. Apple Mail is the only problem. (and yes - ALL SETTINGS ARE EXACTLY CORRECT)
    NO - port 25 is NOT the issue - it works fine with other software on this computer and others - it is ONLY Apple Mail which can't manage to connect to the servers.
    I use an AirPort extreme and have reset it repeatedly. (I can usually connect to an smtp after doing so but only until Mail attempts to send) I have tried a direct ethernet connection as well. Same results.
    Mail refuses to connect to any smtp server. (it connects to the POP servers just fine) Occasionally, if I retype in the smtp password, or even delete it and turn off SSL, it will connect for a short time. (until I try to send a message)
    What's the deal?
    I see others have similar problems, but all seem to be ISP related. In this case, I've controlled for everything I can think except Apple Mail.
    A few other problems, maybe related or not:
    Mail has NEVER saved any messages I have sent out in any type of 'sent' folder. Sometimes the folder appears, sometimes it doesn't, but it is always empty. And yes, the setting to 'delete messages in the sent folder' is set to NEVER. So they should all be there.
    Additionally, the very FIRST note I created was saved in my Inbox as it should have been. NOT ONE single subsequent note has saved - I lost every one of them. (I also can't seem to find any means to manually save the note - how ridiculous)
    Finally, though it isn't that important at the moment, when Mail can't manage to connect to an smtp server, it just sits there and tries to send forever. Sometimes it will tell me it failed and suggest another server, sometimes not. In all cases, there does not seem to be a "STOP" button or command to tell Mail to quit transmitting/receiving.
    I'd really like to use this program since it integrates with iCal and Addressbook, but this is getting absurd.
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    Who is your isp?
    If it is Cox they say on their site that you have to use only their smtp server.
    Other than the mailer server (of which I have no info), I question the ssl setting.
    Cox specifically say to not use ssl when setting up the outgoing server.
    Bellsouth do not appear to require authentication and do not use ssl either.

    "each is setup with password SSL authentication. Each works just fine on any other computer"
    Are any of the other computers mac's?
    You say that "it works fine with other software on this computer" - what is this other software that is using ssl and port 25 to connect to the smtp servers?
    Port 25 is not used for ssl, use either 587 (standard) or in some cases 465 (non-standard).

  • How to repair Apple Mail's frozen 'send' button?

    how to repair Apple Mail's frozen 'send' button?

    More details on the particular "adjustments", please?
    AFAIK, there's no documented to insinuate a change into an outbound SMTP message (if that's what you're up to here) within Apple Mail.
    Most commonly, these sorts of header adjustments arise at an intermediate mail server.  Usually spam filters have something similar. 
    If these particular "adjustments" are possible within Mail, then it's likely via the undocumented plugins API underneath Apple Mail.  And, well, that API is not documented.  And the plugins API has changed at various Apple Mail updates, too; it's clearly not a stable API.

  • Apple Mail won't send invitations when initially closed

    I just started using iCal to send invitations for appointments through Apple Mail. When Apple Mail is opened already when I create the appointment and click Send in iCal, it works fine. The mail is sent and delivered to the appropriate address.
    But if Apple Mail is closed initially, the application starts and the invitation is queued up in the Outbox but is never sent. I can manually open up each invitation in Mail and send them individually, but why is the behavior different? Whether Mail is opened or closed when I send an invitation, it ought to deliver the invitation automatically. By not being sent, I may not realize the invitation hasn't been delivered, making the process very error-prone. Is there a way to guarantee the invitation actually gets sent without having to check the Outbox every time?
    Is this an iCal bug or an Apple Mail bug? I saw no settings in Apple Mail for sending messages at shutdown or any other setting like this. Instead, these invitations may end up being buried in my Outbox for a very long time before I notice and by then, it may be too late.

    The most recent OS is currently OS 10.8.3.  Your system profile confirms you are still using Mac OS X (10.7.5).  If this is incorrect, please correct your profile so that you will get the correct troubleshooting suggestions/solutions. 
    Also, post in the OS/Mail forum of whichever OS is currently installed on your MBP.  It's where the OS/Mail expert helpers hang out at.

    Hi grace132,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The following articles should help you with this.  If you change your Apple ID, you need to update those changes in other services that use it, like the iTunes Store.
    You will also need to sign out of the iTunes Store on your devices and sign in with the Apple ID you used to make the purchases in order to access them.

  • HT3180 hi guys, have lost the menu on my apple tv, only gives me computer and settings, its onlu 5 months old, can anyone help me please

    hi guys, have lost the menu on my apple tv, only gives me computer and settings, its onlu 5 months old, can anyone help me please??

    I called Apple support, no support. Called my Internet support, no support. If your Apple TV is connected up to your Internet via wireless...... hard wire to your Internet turn it on and poof it connects.  Disconnect the hard wire from your Internet and it still will work. For what ever reason my wireless was not cutting it for updating the time and date which seems to be really important to Apple TV.
    Good luck

  • Apple Mail - Can't Send - Buttons do not respond

    I have a new mac on the network,I setup a pop3 account in Apple Mail. It received fine but will not send.
    No errors are reported. When I create a new message and click the send, it doesn't nothing. Same response as if I click save as draft. I have tried just changing the smtp settings but it doesn't make any difference. Any suggestions?

    Are you really running Mac OS X 10.4.1, as your profile indicates? If not, then please update the Operating System field on your My Settings’s profile (and click Save), so that it accurately reflects the version of Mac OS X you’re running now. This is essential information that should always be provided when asking for help.
    This problem in Mail is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption that affects the built-in spell checker. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
    Resetting Launch Services
    If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
    Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
    The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
    Side effects of System cache cleaning
    As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
    1. Quit all applications.
    2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
    3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
    4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
    5. Click the Execute button.
    6. Restart the computer.

  • Apple Mail won't send

    a few weeks ago i upgraded from an eMac/panther to mini/Tiger. mail has worked fine. my router died and i had to get a new one. Mail stopped sending. I can send from Thunderbird but not Mail. Receiving mail is fine.
    i checked and double checked my account settings in Apple Mail. i tried it without authentication and with authentication. no go.
    what could be going on?

    Its been a month now that I am using Mail 2.0.7 (should i upgrade to latest version?). I have not changed my router or done any hardware switch at all and Mail stopped sending my mail. I tried changing my account password and settings, I tried quitting Mail, restarting the computer many times, nothing makes Mail send my mail since the last 2 weeks.
    I had this problem before too ( one week after starting using Mail) but for some reasons, all my messages kept in my Outbox also for a good two weeks have finally been sent.
    I was with port 25 in my SMTP setting when using Microsoft Entourage as my main email client before so i kept this setting. Should I use another Port like the one suggested earlier in the thread?
    Thanks for your help! I just hope Mail works better with my information than Entourage has in the previous years for me.

  • Apple Mail won't send or receive iCloud mail.

    iCloud Mail is not working. I'm using OSX 10.4.11 and was under the impression that Mail would work, but it is not. I'm trying to use Apple Mail to send and receive mail with my mac.com email address and it has not worked since switching to iCloud. Do I need to change something in Mail Preferences? Can't find anything relevant on Apple Support.

    I'm bumping this up to the top because I am having the same exact problem.
    I have had my new Mac since Dec. and have never been able to use my Mac Mail account. I can only use my Verizon account, which I don't like. I had a PC before the Mac and used Outlook Express, which I did like but I would really like to find out why my MAIL account won't send email. I have fooled with this problem and at one time I did get it so that it would receive mail (but not send) but even now I can no longer receive mail in my MAIL account.
    I wonder if I can delete the account and start over? I'm wondering if my daughter set it up incorrectly when she set my computer up for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
