Apple's Mail 4.5 just stopped working. Any Fix for it, please?

Apple Mail 4.5 just stopped working - no email gets in or out.
Details:
Account is set to get me connected to my gmail address.
When try to send email the wheel for sending spins endlessly with no result.
No incoming emails arrive either.
When I open the same email address directly from Gmail in Web browser all works OK.
Settings of Mail are exactly as recomended.
Did trash the account and tried to re-create again. The Mail gives message that Gmail server is not responding.
Did try to create another account with completely different server - the same result -message that this server is not responding either.This is incorrect because I can open and use Gmail and the other email perfectly well with Firefox browser.
Obviously the problem is with Apple's Mail not able to make connection and operate properly.
I dont have any special firewall setting, etc. All is set properly. A couple if days back Email 4.5 worked ok.
The question is: How to fix this Email 4.5 and make it work again (or I should just get rid of it altogether)?
Thanks for any competent tips, fellow Mac users!

My 2nd Gen Apple TV seems to have just stopped working with Youtube. Is there a particular reason this has happened ?

My 2nd Gen Apple TV seems to have just stopped working with Youtube. Is there a particular reason this has happened ? All of the other services work correctly.

Apple already have a position on such matters. If you have a problem with one particular service and not others, contact the provider.

However, 3 similar reports, do not a problem make. Perhaps there is a problem, perhaps there isn't, but it really doesn't seem to affect many people if there is, believe me when there is a problem it's quite obvious from the additional traffic it causes in these communities. It's also not exactly clear that you are all seeing exactly the same thing.

Mail server has just stopped working. No errors in any log. Help!

I am running OS X Server 3.0.2 on Mavericks 10.9.1. Today at around 14:30 my Mail server, which has been working fine for over a year and for nearly a month under Server 3.0.2 just stopped working! I have tried stopping and starting Mail in Server.app and via ServerAdmin but the servcies will not start... serveradmin claims that IMAP is running but that SMTP/SMTPD/Virus Scanner/SPAM filtering/Virus updating are not. I tried disabling the all the filtering services but to no avail. Even though it claims IMAP is running I cannot connect from any client...
I have rebooted the machine but this did not help. I have looked at all the logs (system, mail, dovecot, postfix, amavis) and theer are no suspicious messages in any of them!
I am out of ideas and my mail server is down which is very serious so if anyone has any ideas please pitch in.
Thanks.

My problems were:
1.    Server.app shows the Mail service stuck in 'starting' status
2.    serveradmin shows that IMAP is running but SMTPD, Spam filtering, Virus filtering and Virus updating were STOPPED.
3.    No clients could connect to either IMAPS or SMTP.
Diagnostics performed:
All the various messafge logs (system.log, Mail.log, mail-info.log mail-err.log, amavis.log) show no abnormal messages.
DNS is working just fine.
In the end I did the following:
1.    Stop all mail related services.
2.    Make a safe copy of /Library/Server/Mail/Config
3.    Restore the previous days version of /Library/Server/Mail/Config from backup.
4.    Start the Mail service
And all was working again just fine.
I then did a file by file compare of all the configuration files between the workign and not working configurations and I found just the following two differences in postfix/main.cf:
Not working:
inet_interfaces = loopback-only
smtpd_helo_required = no
Working:
inet_interfaces = all
smtpd_helo_required = yes
I don't think the second difference is so critical but the first seems to break everything (not too surprising I guess). All the other files were identical.
So, the good news is that all is working again but the huge concern is why this change happenned, seemingly at random. My strong suspicion is that Server.app, at some point when I exited it havign made some minor change unrelated to mail decided to apply these incorrect changes to the Mail configuration. Why it would do this is beyond me. I think there are some subtle bugs in Server 3.0 (and maybe Server 2.2 as well)...

Yahoo mail on iPhone just stopped working

I've been using Mail to access my yahoo mail account for years, and yesterday it just stopped working on my iphone4 and iPad. I updated to iOS 4.3 a while ago so it was fine since then. I get the typical error message that the server can't be reached. Any ideas?

Looks like yahoo issued a fix. Mail is working again.

AirTunes just stopped working, cant fix.

So I have an AX b/g that Ive had for a little while. I have always used the Airtunes feature and it has (mostly) worked fine. I occasionally had an error but restarting itunes always fixed it. As of yesterday I go to play music and it says that my airport express doesnt exist. When I open airport utility it doesnt find any apple wireless devices, and the only way I can configure it is to select 'Config other'. It connects to the internet just fine but airport utility still wont find it and itunes wont give me the option to select remote speakers anymore (yes, it is checked in the settings). I have tried downgrading the AX firmware and older versions of airport utility but it does the same thing as the updated software. Any ideas?

Ah ha! I fixed it. It turns out that my firewall setting was set to only allow certain connections. iTunes WAS included but when I selected the 'allow all incoming connections' radio button it worked like a charm.

My wifi just stopped working... help please.

I've got a Macbook and starting this afternoon, I cannot join my home network using the wireless. It shows my network in the Airport menu, but when I try to join it, it says, "connection timeout". I've power-cycled the Motorola router -it says everything's fine. I've restarted the Macbook twice using safe-boot, restarting, then rebuilding permissions. Still nothing. Did my Airport card go kaput?
I'm connected right now using an ethernet cable. What else can I check to see if the card is bad or if something is just messed up in the prefs? How can I get connected once again using wireless?
Thanks in advance.

Well, i figured it out. Wifi still wasn't connecting until I turned on my PS3. I recently made that a wired connection to reduce latency for online gaming. For whatever reason, once the PS3 connected, then I was able to take the Macbook online wirelessly.
I have no idea why, but it worked -so if it happens again, that's my fix.
Thanks for the input, William.

you can try a restore
restore the device as new first (to isolate cause of the issue). Then from backup if necessary.

Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly. It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again. Any suggestions?

Try to force quit the mail app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works

HT1551 My remote for my Apple TV just stopped working and I have tried putting in a new battery, re-pairing the remote, resetting the device by unplugging it, and I checked the infared coming from the remote is working. The light just blinks at me 3 times

My remote for my Apple TV just stopped working and I have tried putting in a new battery, re-pairing the remote, resetting the device by unplugging it, and I checked the infared coming from the remote is working. The light just blinks at me 3 times what else can I try to fix it?

Have you tried unpairing the remote? You do this by pointing your remote at the Apple TV and holding the MENU and Left buttons down together for 6 seconds.

Apple TV Airplay Just Stopped Working

Apple TV Airplay Just Stopped Working. I have a second Apple TV that still works with the same connecting devices and no problems. Running 10.8 on my macbook Retina, iphone 5 is up to date and ipad has latest. One day I went to connect and it wouldn't show on my macbook as an available airplay.
So frustrating, I have reset, re-connected via wifi, turned airplay on and off, checked setting on my machine, made sure I am on the same wifi network... still nothing.

BTW, I should clarify, I am specifically having a problem mirroring. Home sharing is on and all my library is there, just no mirroring.

My apple TV remote just stopped working!

My apple TV remote (silver) just stopped working after about 6 months, I replaced the battery and reset the remote by holding the remote close and pointing it at the Apple TV, then holding down the menu and rewind buttons for 6 seconds... still nothing. I sometimes get a sound when I'm putting the battery cover back on but then I try the remote again and it still doesn't work. My older white remotes work fine. My iPhone works fine as a remote with the apple TV.... just not sure what happened to the silver one.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Chantelle

Do you have a mac that recognizes the silver remote?
If you think it has died, walk it into the nearest Apple Store and ask for assistance there.
Good luck in any case.
