Can Mail work on a network other than my home?

Hi all,
I apologize up front if this is a really basic question.
The program Mail works great for me at home. But, when I take my laptop to my office, or I use it at a coffee shop, or wherever, I can't send emails. It'll access the server and get emails, but I can't send them. My mac email is IMAP, rather than POP, if that makes a difference.
Is this something that I should be able to do, or does Mail need to be hooked up to my home network to work properly?
Thanks!
Kevin

It sounds like you're trying to use an SMTP server for your outgoing mail that doesn't work away from home. As an anti-spam measure, some ISPs only allow the use of their outgoing mail servers from computers within their network. When you're away from home that test fails.
In some cases it's possible to change your SMTP server settings so that you authenticate via password instead of location. Check with your ISP for more details.

Gmail not working in wifi networks other than my own.

Hey all,
I've been having this problem ever since I got my 1G iPod Touch. At home using my own wifi the Mail app works fine (it is set up with my Gmail using SSL and Google's own steps for setting it up with a touch). Whenever I am out (at school, a mall, etc) and am using another wifi connection the app is not able to connect to Gmail. I get the "Cannot connect using SSL" error, but when I login to Gmail from Safari from those same networks there is no error.
Any ideas what is going on here?
Thanks for any help!

It is unusual that you can't connect via open networks but it might be something that the network owner/operator has done by blocking certain ports in their firewall. The web uses port 80 and it would be pretty useless to block that so it never is. All other ports are fair game as the operator may have experienced some problems and blocked them. Talk to the administrators of these networks.

Hello there ypda75,
I have an article here that has a list of settings to get from your Email provider so you can make sure that the settings are correct. It has troubleshooting steps to try as well. Also I would recommend restarting the router, and/or testing a differnet network.
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899.
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
All the very best,
Sterling

I'm new to ipod touch, 4g. My questions is how can I download a contact list other than through facebook or yahoo or gmail?

You can sync the iPod's Contacts app with some other contact programs/mail accounts.
Just where do you want to get/sync the contacts?

TS1550 What about when using the "Time Capsule" HD as the external disk, especially when it is connected by ethernet cable? I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. Don't need it to work as anything else, other than a ethernet connected Time Machine

What about when using the "Time Capsule" HD as the external disk, especially when it is connected by ethernet cable? I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. Don't need it to work as anything else, other than a ethernet connected Time Machine backup. Already have a wireless network that works fine so no need to mess with it. We get the internet via cable company and their modem is upstairs and the Time Capsule is downstairs in the basement. The latest error message was about it could not backup as it was already in use (should have written it down before clicking OK and moving on.

See if this helps...

The support and inclusion of Hindi in the newest OS X 10.10 Yosemite appears to be available.
Within the setup and installation process of OS X various language options exist in the Installer;
and regional support for the computers to be set-up with a default language is possible. You
may find this to be the case, through a local authorized reseller, to buy an Apple product that
already runs in a local language. The OS X includes more than 20 languages, in the system
setup. The availability of matching keyboard input devices with a local language may vary.
•Multi-lingual Mac: recent language addition info

•examples where inference of Hindi support in Mac OS 10.10 appears in articles:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Mac+OS+10.10+Hindi+language+supported
As of Lion OS X 10.7, there were 22 languages included in the system, via setup installation.
More have been added since. You may need to contact regional or local authorized reseller
of Apple products for specifics and availability of certain items there.
A historical overview, some details missing, can be read here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_X
You could use the Locator page to find Country, then use City/country and product to see
the nearest authorized reseller and service businesses along with address & contact info.
•Apple - Find Locations - Country Selector:
https://locate.apple.com/country
The Locator can also be used to find non-Apple branded authorized regional resellers &
associated service companies; in some cases, they may exist but be difficult to find. These
usually show in the locate map, with phone number, street address & other contact info.
Hopefully this may help find the product & service you need.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can I do a back up on a machine other than my home pc?

Hey all.
I have a faulty iphone and have an appointment to take it into the apple store this evening, but I forgot to do my backup last night.
Is it possible to do my backup on a machine other than my home pc?
I can do one on my mac here at work, but not really sure if its possible to do a back if its not on the machine with all my apps and music.
Reason being is that if they replace my phone in the store tonight, I would like to be able to reinstall the backup to put my new phone back to the same content thats on my current/old phone (ie. contact numbers, music and app settings and all that stuff)
Cheers

Is it possible to do my backup on a machine other than my home pc?
Yes. But make sure you disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes(under the edit menu in windows) BEFORE you do so. Then simply connect your phone, right click in the device pane & select backup. When finished, eject your phone, DO NOT SYNC!
Itunes places the backups here:
* Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
* Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
* Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
You'll want to copy that folder to its proper location on the computer you normally sync with because after you restore from backup, you MUST sync to restore your itunes content.

HT1386 Can I download an mp3 to my iPhone from a PC other than my home pc?

Can I download an mp3 to my iPhone from a PC other than my home pc?

No. You can only sync or manually manage music and other media with one iTunes library at a time. If you attempt to add music from another library, all media on your phone will have to be erased first.

HT2954 How can I access my imac mail from a different computer other than Apple?

If you are using IMAP mail connection (IMAP keeps the mail on the server), then you just configure the other computer's mail client to access the same account.
If you are using a POP mail connection, then the mail is generally downloaded to your Mac and deleted from the server. That is a much more difficult problem to solve. NOTE: Google's gmail does have a POP option that does NOT delete the mail on the server, so it is accessible via the gmail web page.
A lot depends on what you are using for your mail service and whether you are using IMAP or POP protocols.

How can I install to a drive other than C?

I installed the CS6 Master Collection trial version. During the installation, I specified a destination folder on my D: drive (C: is a small SSD drive meant to hold only Windows).
For the 32-bit versions of the programs, the shortcuts created in the Start Menu point to the D: location I specified during installation, but clicking on them gets me a "file not found" error, because the actual programs were placed on the C: drive. They work if I copy the installed Adobe folder and its full contents over to the appropriate D: location.
The 64-bit versions are a different mess: Unlike with the 32-bit versions, the installer placed the 64-bit versions of the programs in the specified D: drive folder, but when I attempt to start the programs, I get the "Configuration Error: Please uninstall and reinstall the program; Error: 1" message. Presumably this is because some of the configuration files or settings the programs are looking for are actually pointing to locations on the C: drive, where the installer put them despite my directions. But I have no idea which files or settings they are, or how to find them.
How can I fix these configuration errors and get the 64-bit versions working?
If anyone from Adobe sees this, can you please fix the installer so that it installs the ENTIRE package where I specified, and that all the various pieces installed know where the rest of the pieces are in a non-C drive installation?
My system:
Windows 7 SP1
Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM
C drive: 60GB SSD (Windows system files)
D drive: 1TB HDD (All other programs and files, including my Windows User folders)

Yes, I have redirected my User folder to the D: drive.
I know that some shared components must reside on the C: drive; that's fine. I just don't have room for the entire installation on there.
The real issue here is that, when a drive other than C: is selected as the destination, the CS6 package installs into a broken state every time, out of the gate, on my system. Some components get installed to D: and some to C:, but the various components of the programs seem confused about what exists where, as shown below:
I select a folder on D: as the destination folder for the install, and here is what I get:
64-bit versions of the package -- Program files are installed to the D: drive as specified, but attempting to start them results in a configuration error message stating that the program must be uninstalled and reinstalled, and lists "Error code: 1".
32-bit versions of the package -- Program files are installed to the C: drive against what I specified. The shortcuts installed in the Start menu for the 32-bit versions point to the locations where these program files SHOULD be, on the D: drive. If the Adobe folder containing the program files is copied over to the correct location on D:, these programs function normally with no errors.
I have the 32-bit versions working by copying the program files from C: to D:. I just want to get the 64-bit versions working as well.
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated; I'm really looking forward to testing the CS6 suite on my system!

On G4 System Preferences, Network, I have a dropdown menu that says that my settings have been altered by another application and won't go away when I click ok, I can't work in the Network preferences and it won't respond to be closed. Have to Force Quit

On G4 Powerbook System Preferences, Network, have a dropdown menu that says this has been configured by another application. when press OK it keeps coming on & can't work in System Preferences. It won't even respond to Quit System Preferences and I have to Force Quit to close System Pref.
Any ideas?

Look at this link. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9372513
I did BDAqua's suggestion
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
