Can no longer access .mac, mail, msn messenger etc on wireless network
have a wireless network in our house through an airport. but .mac login page does not load, mail will not access my email and things like msn messenger just do not login. does not work on either my macbook, imac g5 or the g5 tower. no idea what is wrong, could it be proxies or firewall stuff. just no idea.
please help.

This appears to be a network issue rather than a Mail issue. You should probably ask either in the Networking forum or in one of the AirPort forums.
As a first step, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.

Some have reported success simply by reinstalling the update.

Or download and apply, or reapply, the 10.6.8 Combo update first, then apply the Security Update again.

I'd suggest starting with the simplest of these fixes, so look them over first. -
last week my phone was automatically updated after a trip to Europe, now I can no longer access gmail because the browser capability for cookies has been turned off and I can NOT get it back on. Before the trip bluetooth was on partially working with my car and now since the newest update works no more in any form. Anyone else having these problems? Need help!!
As far as automatic update, the iOS cannot be updated without user intervention, so it could not have been automatically updated.
You need to provide more information about your mail. Does this mean you cannot access the Mail app, you cannot download mail, or what? Not sure why you cannot access the cookies setting in Safari. Go to Settings>Safari>Block Cookies>set to what you want.
Problems with 3rd party Bluetooth devices, such as car audio, etc., generally has to do with vehicle manufacturers not providing updates to match the current Bluetooth stacks that are found in today's phones. You can go into the phone and remove the pairing for the car, and then go into car settings and remove the iphone. Then put both devices back into pairing mode and attempt to connect them again.

Can no longer access Mac HDD from Windows XP Installation
Hello, I'm pretty new to Macs, and am running into a problem.
I'm in the middle of configuring Windows XP to my liking, and got to the part where I typically move the locations of the My Documents, My Pictures, etc. to their respective locations on the Mac hard drive (that way I store all files in the same place, and I can boot between OSX and XP without having to move files). Anyway, I rebooted to finish installing unrelated software, and my Mac HDD will no longer "mount" if that term applies in XP. It shows up in disk management as an unknown partition. I KNOW 100% positively that I accessed it before the reboot. I don't see how a program for rotating the screen on my external monitor (iRotate) could do this, and the only other things isntalled right now are Bootcamp's drivers and Firefox. It's a clean, up to date XP installation.
Any help appreciated!
Specs:
Intel iMac
Core i3 550, 3.2 GHz
4 GB DDR3 (2.99 accessible in XP)
1 TB Western Digital HDD
Windows XP Professional SP3, fully updatedThis is the error:
"Windows cannot access \\machine\sharedfolder,
error code 0x80004005, unspecified error"
I can not remove network cards because servers are hosted in Azure. So when I remove network card server becomes unreachable. -
For some reason my Mail has stopped working on my iphone. When I click on it I get a "Welcome to Mail" page (see photo). When I try to enter my Outlookemail account it says that it already exists, so I am stuck!
I have managed to resolve this by deleting my hotmail account and then adding it again. I'm sure there is a better way though.

Just installed os x 10.8.3 and can no longer access icloud.
I can no longer access icloud, mail, etc. after updating to 10.8.3. On the other hand, I seem to be okay on my iphone. Anyone else have this problem or any ideas.
ThanksHello Alex,
Your problem appears to be different than what I experienced, which was a complete inability to access iCloud mail. That issue is resolved for me now. Here's what I did, but frankly I don't know why this worked. I'm not sure if it was all a coincidence and that the iCloud fix was rolled out to different countries at different times.
On my MacPro, from 10.8.2 with mail working correctly:
1. deleted the iCloud account from Mail
2. updated to 10.8.3
3. signed out of iCloud in Preferences and signed back in
4. readded the iCloud account in Mail (ensuring of course that the id and passwords are correct)
Again, I don't know why it worked but it did. With this done, I repeated the process on my MacBook with success. You can see if this works for you, but this is all I can offer as help. -
I have an older computer and can no longer update. After the latest Apple update I can no longer access my e-mail on my mac. I can view it on my iphone and on icloud. Is there a solution to this problem?
Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.

I can no longer access my mac mail in the Mail program - only on icloud. I would like to have both my aol account and mac account in one place like it was. Anything I can do?
iCloud's mail server settings are different from MobileMe's. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
iCloud cannot access your AOL account (the MobileMe facility for checking external POP accounts does not exist in iCloud) - you will have to do this in the Mail application in the usual way. You could of course set up forwarding from your AOL account to iCloud (assuming they provide this facility) but you will not be able to reply using iCloud's SMTP server with anything other than the iCloud address as the 'From' address. -
I am using Office 2011 on a new Mac. I can no longer access my entire contact list when clicking TO/CC/BCC to select several contacts for sending an email. I am so surprised & disappointed at the many difficulties, conflicts, & lack of features on the Mac (Lion 10.7).
Hello,
Are you using Apple Mail or MS Office Outlook for your email program? It has been a know issue for some time now that MS Office 2011 Outlook does not sync contacts with Apple's Address Book. This was true under Snow Leopard as well as in Lion. It worked well when I had Entourage (MS Office 2008) in Snow Leopard but once I switched to Outlook 2011, the sync stopped.
Did you just start using Outlook 2011 or has this happened after you move to Lion? Perhaps you could import your Entourage contacts into Outlook 2011?
Please let us know a bit more about your situation.

Can no longer access my .mac website
I have been using iWeb 06 for that last 18 months to publish a website for our family. I have a current .mac/mobileme account that is set to renew on Jan. 18, and I suddenly can no longer access our website (my mobileme email is working fine). It's an http://web.mac.com/ address that now says "We're sorry, but this website can no longer be viewed. Either the person who claims to own it doesn't any longer, or they never did." This "we're sorry" page has the Apple logo on it, as well as the toolbar across the top. Does anyone know how I get my website back? I just spent all this time putting new pictures on it and "publishing" it, not realizing it no longer works. I have made no changes to my .mac account, and my website was working a few weeks ago. I did try going to http://me.com/myname like the mobileme FAQ page says to try, and my website isn't there either. This is the only reason I have a .mac account, so if I can't get my website back, I don't see any reason to renew on the 18th. Thanks for your help.
I've never heard of this but you should be on the phone or at least e-mailing Apple.http://www.apple.com/ca/support/contact/

I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account, though I still seem to be able to send messages. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my Mail account (my LinkedIn and Facebook accounts were both hacked three days ago and a scam/phishing message sent to my contacts, and I know there was at least an attempt made to hack into one of my e-mail accounts). I have already changed my Apple password, but how do I start receiving mail again?
(And I should also say that I'm a little surprised there was no alert from Apple of suspicious activity on my account, if such was the case. Instead, when I logged into my account via Mobile Me three days ago I noticed that all messages in my inbox were gone as well as all of my contacts. I assume this was related to the current problem.)
Thanks for all responses.The problem has been solved with the help of a MobileMe online counsellor. My MobileMe account had in fact been hacked into and the fraudster had been redirecting my e-mail messages to a phony account that he controlled. We took the forward off and reset all my passwords and security questions, which solved the immediate problem.
Thx. -
I can no longer use my mail, only can access through icloud. I have made no changes or updates to create this problem. TWC did take over my internet provider and suddenly I started have a myriad of issues. I am in the process of changing providers to ATT because TWC does not support Safari.
How does TWC not support Safari? (They're lying)
You're using Apple Mail right?
What happens when you launch mail?
Please provide all errors you see. -

I have an account with the iTunes store but can no longer access the store because I get a message in iTunes store window telling me to update to an iTunes version that will only run on Mac OS 10.5. I am on Mac OSX 10.4.1 and do not plan on upgrading that version.
This is what I had to do to access iTunes store with 10.4.11 (took all day for the downloads)
1. download & install iTunes 9.2.1 (101 MB)
2. download & install Quicktime 7.5.5 (61 MB)
3. message 'need to install Safari 4.0.3 or later' (and I never use Safari)
4. download Safari (26 MB)
5. Safari won't install without 'latest security update'
6. download latest security update 2009-005 (Intel) v. 1.0 (172 MB)
7. take a long walk
8. install security update and restart
9. install Safari and restart
And yes, now I can download music again from the iTunes store. I would have given up and gone with Amazon.com but mp3 downloads are only available to folk in USA, and I'm in Australia. -
Suddenly can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail
Suddenly, I can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail (Version 2.1.1 (752.3)).
For quite a few years I have been using Apple Mail to access my .mac email. As of last Friday, Mail stopped working. Nothing has changed (accept for the installation of the latest OS X security upgrade - SecUpd2006-008Univ.pkg).
I can still access my .mac mail through the .mac web browser and I can still access it through SnapperMail on my Palm Treo 680. But, when I open Apple Mail on my MacBook, it does not do anything, just sits there. When I open the Activity Viewer window, 3 activities are going on:
1. Opening Mailbox
2. Synchronizing with Server (Connecting to...)
3. Synchronizing with Server (Synchronizing with...)
After a few minutes, the error triangle appears next to the Inbox and .Mac logos on the left hand panel.
I have tried Apple Mail from several locations (different ISP / WiFi / LAN) over several days but get the same problem.
Does anyone have ideas for a solution?
Regards
PeterLet’s first make sure that the update is installed properly, and post back with your observations when done.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the update that appears to not have been installed properly. You may also need to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.
