objc[394]: alt handlers in objc runtime are buggy!

I hate to add a third entry but this one will end the speculation about this problem.
Apple mail is not designed to create a new mail account! WIndows mail, all forms, is designed to create new mail accounts. If you are new to mac, and you try to create a new mail account and the account you try to create already exists because it belongs to some else, the a return code for an error is returned from the mail provider. Apple mail unfortunately trys to handle
the error but does not bother range checking the return code for validity. This results in what I said above and the mail crashes. Nothing that happens should ever cause a crash! There are a number of software errors in Apple mail that need attention. To fix this problem, just go to your email provider and create the account. Then add it in apple mail.
This will work without error.

  • Master Data Services - Can not add new User and MDS can not Identify LOCAL Users

    Team,
    We are using  SQL Server 2008 R2 and system working since long and suddenly we observed mentioned two issues. The server MyServer is already restarted but did not help.  The MDS installed and configured on SAME Machine (MyServer).
      I  have two issues here.
    1. MDM website can not Identify the local Users (MyServer\MyUser).
    The User created on local Machine (MyServer\MyUser). I logged into MDM website using Admin login and click on User and Permission. Then I click on add and Text box appears to type UserName. Here I type "MyServer\MyUser" (MyServer\MyUser is already
    exists and working since long). Then click checkName; I received a message "No exact Match was found for MyServer\MyUser". Where as User from OTHER domain identified in MDM but could not identify ONLY the local users like "MyServer\MyUser".
    2. Can not add new user in Existing working MDM.
    I created windows user on machine (MyServer\MyUser1) and add it in UserGroup having an access to MDM. and then I tried to login to MDM using newly created user (MyServer\MyUser1) ; I see error Access Is Denied. The Permission assigned to UserGroup (not
    to individual user). The new User (MyUser1) should automatically get added in MDM once logged in. This is working for existing users in UserGroup; BUT NOT ONLY for new user (MyUser1).

    Now I Solved this problem in my case.
    I just grant again all permissions according http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff486994.aspx. Now all work fine.
    Hope, it will help

  • Can not add new program unit in form

    We have a form developed using developer 6i in which we can not add new program units. If new program unit is added and form is saved and closed then after opening the form again, newly added program unit can not be seen in object navigator as well as it can not be found using search. Such form fails to compile as the calls for new program unit exists but the program unit is lost. The problem persists even if another copy of form is made using Save As option.
    What could be the reason of this problem?
    Thanks

    Hmmm... I have never had the problem. Two forms I have been working on lately are 1808 KB and 1424 KB. This is their compiled-and-saved size. Their "cleaned up" size is 792 KB and 604 KB.
    <p>Do you know about the semicolon - semicolon replacement trick for reducing fmb size? Read this thread:
    <br>    Re: FMB size shrinks dramatically
    <br>And a related thread:
        Re: Why does this happen - find ';', replace with ';'?
    <p>I sure wish Forms had a Preferences setting labelled:     Remove compiled code when saving.

  • Cannot add new mail Account or iCal account

    When I try to add a new Mail account (press " + " on the Mail -> Preferences -> Account tab) it temporarily darkens but nothing happens. Pressing "+" in iCal -> Preferences -> Accounts does not have an effect either.
    Unlike in the case of other posters neither Mail nor iCal crashes. It just simply does not respond. At present I have two Mail accounts (created in an earlier version, probably Tiger) and no iCal account.
    So far I have tried the following:
    1) Press "Add account ..." in the File menue instead of pressing the "+" button. Result: No effect.
    2) Use disk utility to repair permissions. Result: No effect.
    3) Quit Mail; Move ~/Library/Mail, ~/Library/Mail Downloads, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist to the Desktop; Restart the Computer; Open Mail. Result: New Mail folders are created in ~/Library, a new com.apple.mail.plist is created. My .me account information is automatically recognized but I still cannot create another account, even not my second account that worked before.
    4) Create a new user. Result: For the new user I can create at least 3 Mail accounts.
    Obviously there is something wrong with my current user account, though I am not aware of any other symptoms. Any ideas how this can be repaired?

    Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. This will not affect your data. The phone will reboot.

  • Can not add new printer

    I reset my printer list on my mother's MacBook and tried to add a new printer. There are no printers to add in the Add Printer list. I ran Repair Disk Permissions and still I can not add any printers through the System Preferences>Print & Fax. Why are there no printers to select?

    Try reinstalling the printer drivers (software) that came with the printer or go to the printer manufacture web site and download the drivers there.

  • Can't add Yahoo mail account

    I'm trying to add my 2nd Yahoo mail account, but the iPhone will not allow it. I always get the message "The username or password for imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect."
    The username and password are both correct. The Yahoo mail account that I set up when I got my first iPhone back in 2007 is still working fine, but this new account can't be added. I can access the account just fine from the web.
    I've seen this issue show up a lot in various forums, but I haven't found a solution yet. Does anyone have one?

    For what it's worth. I have a pacbell.net account through at&t/yahoo. I have set up my email on my iphone 3G using the yahoo mail option. MY email is working and pushing just fine. I cannot, however, set up my daughters account on my phone, nor as the only email account on her iphone 3G. I get the message username and passoword incorrect. These are BOTH sub accounts and both have address as:
    [firstname]_[lastname]@pacbell.net
    It is befuddling to me why one works and the other doesn't, they are set up identically through att/yahoo. I contacted yahoo and they told me its an iphone issue so I don't know where to go from here. I have not tried resetting network settings on the phone as I have a lot I do not want to loose plus I do not see any reports that this process actually works.
    The only thing I can think of is the number of characters in the email address as my first name is only 3 letters and hers is 7.

  • Weird problem-w/ aol mail,i can recieve and reply,but can not send new mail

    everything is set up, i read the instructions on that site to help me set it up, im recieving mail, and i can even reply, but when i try to send new mail it rejects the smtp. outgoing mail server...any suggestions?

    Does resetting include deleting and recreating the AOL SMTP server?
    Deleting an SMTP server requires selecting Edit Server List from the SMTP server selection pop-up menu.
    ISP is short for Internet Service Provider. Are you using AOL as your ISP for connecting to the internet?
    Unless AOL is used as your ISP, your ISP may have made recent changes regarding the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network. Most, if not all ISPs have restrictions regarding the use of SMTP servers outside of their network on Port 25. Using Port 587 usually resolves any such restrictions but some ISPs block the use of all SMTP servers outside of their network regardless. These restriction are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent or reduce spam eminating from the ISP's domain.
    Since you have switched back and forth between every option available, I suggest deleting and recreating AOL's SMTP server first (if you haven't already done so) and if this didn't work, deleting and recreating this AOL account in Mail.
    If neither works and AOL is not your ISP used for connecting to the internet and you are accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP, try selecting/using your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your AOL account.
    If this works, I would contact your ISP's technical support to inquire about any recent changes implemented regarding the use of SMTP servers outside of their network or put in another way, using an SMTP server that is not provided by your ISP.
    The last resort is targeting the Mail.app preference file which stores all account information and general Mail.app preferences.
    I try to avoid saying never in regards to computers but I doubt your hard drive replacement has anything to do with this.

  • Can't add new icloud account to iPhone says that I have too many accounts please help! Forgot old username and email

    I Made a new icloud account bc forgot my username and email and now I can't access bc says I have too many accounts on phone please help!

    If the messages says the maximum number of accounts have already been created, you will not be able to create a new one on that phone.  All you can do in that case is either reuse one of the accounts previously created or create your new account on a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.

  • Can not add new server

    Hi,
    I install Oracle Workshop for WebLogic 10.3 on Windows Vista and I create new remote server without problem but I can not see server state.
    So I delete server and try add new one. Unfortunately when new server popup window is open and I click next (to Specify a WebLogic domain directory/Specify a remote host name) I can not type connection data because all fields but Re-enter password are disabled for remote server type.
    Next I try reinstall Oracle Workshop and this takes no effect.
    Thanks for answer.
    Peter

    In new installation BEA2 I create new domain and start it. After configuring WebLogic Runtime Oracle WebLogic Server connection start to live.
    Same procedure with old installation doesn't work.

  • Can't add new EMAIL account - IMAP

    Added a new account via Workgroup Manager - for IMAP mail.
    Checking mail from Mail gets the following error:
    "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account “account name” or try again.
    The server error encountered was: Mail service ACL is not enabled for this user"
    A dozen or so other accounts working fine.
    Anyone?

    The new account needs to have the magic "this user can get email" group added to its list of groups.
    HOWEVER, you don't do this when you create the account -- you do it in Server Admin program, when you click on the server itself (not a sub-header) -- there's a tab for enabling/disabling certain users from using different programs.
    I had the same problem today, solved it, get mail fine now.
