Can't Send Email or Connect to Computers on the Network with my MacBook

Problem started yesterday... I have a 1.83GHz MacBook that will not connect to file share or printer share with my other mac. It will also not send any emails on any of my accounts, although it will receive email. Any idea why this is?

Go to System Preferences and then head to Sharing. See if there's anything weird there.

  • Can't send email while connected to friends wifi

    I can retrieve email, but can't send email while connected to friends wifi. I think I get message that says "cannot connect to server" (being comcast, which is my home ISP).

    It is possible that your friend's ISP is blocking outbound traffic on the port your mail service provider is expecting your outbound email. Another possibility is that your ISP does not accept outbound email from locations not on their network. Both of these are due to efforts by Internet service providers to curb spam.
    Contact the ISPs involved (I would suggest your own first) to find out what is happening.
    Best of luck.

  • Can't send email using wifi. Spent 30 min troubleshooting with my email service provider who finally told me to contact Apple

    Can't send email using wifi. Spent 30 min troubleshooting with my email service provider who finally told me to contact Apple.
    It doesn't work when I can't get 3G, whether at home or overseas. Receives no problem, and 3G works fine when it's available.

    Maybe it is a 3GS. Anyway, I get the error that the network is not responding, and to check my settings. My ISP is Uniserve (Canada) but I am trying to use Telus (at home, where there is no 3G in my neighbourhood) or whatever is available as I travel eg. US or Europe for outgoing mail when 3G is not available. My husband has no problem with his iphone 4 when he sends email the same way usinf wifi.

  • Connecting to a foreign wireless network with my macbook pro

    hi
    i'm swapping my NY apt for one in italy. i have a brand new mac book pro and can see the network on my airport, and i have the WPA password. when i enter the password it says it's invalid.
    i've read the apple support pages and troubleshooted the password, adding $ to the beginning of the password, quotes, X0 etc. to no success.
    i have my swap's spare laptop here (hence i'm able to write here) and her laptop gets on the network with no problem. there's no ethernet cable here for me to try and see if i can get on that way.
    i'm wondering if it has something to do with the modum settings (which i looked at on her laptop but they're um, in italian)...for example, there is an option for me to make the network public, but then i get a warning about the firewall (in italian).
    i'm also wondering if it has something to do with my airport settings...do i need to change something in my airport preferences under 802.1?
    i think it has something to do with her modum settings. but really i have no idea.
    i've used the assist feature in airport, i've gone through diagnostics, i've restarted the modum and the laptop...
    any ideas? thanks.

    hmmmmmmmph. after asking my swap again and again for the password, she gave it to me again, with 5 more characters. yup...now i have PERFECT wireless!!!!!!
    sigh. THANKYOU for your help....
    sadly, in the meantime i managed to kill her wireless conection on her italian laptop, destroy her settings and can't find a way to resolve it because all the notifications are in italian. (i tried to make the network open) i'll have to call her tech guy to come in and reset them i suppose. argh!!
    regardless...my mac has a great wireless connection now (if i had only had the correct password -- lesson learned...) happy happy happy...back to work...
    thanks

  • Can't send emails using .mac accounts? Finally the solution!!! Nice & Easy!

    Found this after searching these discussions for over an hour, and it really works, but you MUST create a new account, don't edit your existing one. Very quick & easy!!! Here you go, courtesy of Guillermo Toro-Lira:
    OK guys, problem solved, at least for those with a dotMac account like me.
    You have to create a new MobileMe account in your iPhone using your new MobileMe email address ( [email protected] instead of [email protected] ).
    Select Add Account... on Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then MobileMe, enter your name, MobileMe address, password and description and select Save. The system will validate your account first. Then go back to Accounts, select your dotMac account and select delete. Your new mails, contacts, calendars will be sync'd by your new MobileMe account.
    It looks like iPhone classic 2.0 requires your new MobileMe address ([email protected]) to send emails.

    I accessed my .Mac account with the iPhone's mail client with my first generation iPhone for over a year including for a while after the change to MM before I purchased my iPhone 3G.
    The first generation iPhone and the iPhone 3G are capable of running the same firmware so there is no difference between the two in this regard. To say the first generation iPhone requires creating and accessing the @Me account instead of the @Mac account is incorrect.
    If this is true with many, how come not a single person has chimed in with this thread saying the same thing?

  • MDT / WDS Computers joining the network with correct computer name, but no drivers (including NIC) installed

    I'm using WDS and MDT to install the computers in my network.
    I recently reinstalled a server 2012R2 with the last available versions of WDS and MDT. Everything works fine except for the fact that none of my computers (different series) is installing the out of the box drivers in windows.
    The network connection although is ok during setup because the computers add to the domain with the given computer name.
    I'm sure I'm using the correct drivers and in my task sequence I enabled to inject all drivers.
    Ideas?

    Hi admin0485,
    I am not very familiar with MDT, if you used the MDT to install the drivers we can ask in the specific MDT support forum, if you are using WDS to install drivers please recheck
    your drivers architecture compatible with your system, we can not use the x64 driver on x86 image.

  • How i can export and distribute setting; network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris" to all computers in the network (With Folder Rederiction enabled)?

    Hi,
    We are about to enable SSO in our environment. As a result, I need to modify the value for user_pref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris", "my domain");>>prefs.js.
    I created a simple .bat file to make the necessary mod and add the line to pref.js. When I run the file it outputs the prefs.js to the same location, not the Mozilla AppData folder. We are a Win7 environment with folder redirection enabled. Therefore, our user's Mozilla AppData folder is located at \\my domain\dfs\XenDesktop\Profiles\username\AppData\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default (random default profile name). My question is what is the best course of action to add this pref. to all PC user's pref.js file? keep in mind the pref.js is located on the hidden network path I included above. I apologize if my question is not easy to understand.

    cor-el, thanks for you reply.
    Yesterday, prior to my post, I did try the mozilla.cfg method. I read your reply to another FF user's, similar question. Here are my complete steps.
    1. created a txt file with the following info: defaultPref("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris", "ngs.org"); // set new default value
    2. saved the file as mozilla.cfg
    3. dropped the file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    4. Created local-settings.js with the following info:
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
    5. dropped the file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref
    When I launch Firefox the network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris should say ngs.org, but the value is still blank.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • 4S can't send emails unless on home Wifi

    I was given an Iphone4S and I'm on Orange/EE provider.  When I set up the email account I got a msg "Outgoing mail server setting is provided for 02 customers in the UK. 02 customers should enter their 02 email address in primary outgoing mail server".  Orange/EE is my provider.  I receive emails ok but when I try to send using my Talktalk server, the msg is "The sender name was rejected by the server".  Can anyone help me please? 

    4S Can only send email if connected to home wifi

  • Thunderbird can't send email to addresses in Address Book because of formatting error

    My Thunderbird can't send email to an address picked from the Address Book. It gives the following error:
    "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.1.1 <"name@telconame"@telco.com> Unknown recipient. Please check the message recipient "name@telconame"@telco.com and try again."
    You can see that Thunderbird has garbled the name/address pair: "name@telconame"@telco.com" so that it's unworkable.
    If I type the email address by hand, it sends the email OK. But it can't retrieve an address from the Address Book without garbling the name/address pair. Win 7, TBird Version 32.0; it's the same in SafeMode.
    Any ideas?

    Make two Address Book entries for him; one for each of his e-mail addresses. Make a new Address Book group and put both of his entries in it. When you send him an e-mail just type in the name of the group in the To: field.

  • I can't send emails with my Ipad4.

    I have used my Ipad4 for a couple of weeks, then suddenly I can't send emails any more. I get the response that the username or password is incorrect. Well, actually they are correct. So I have checked and double checked. It seems to be a problem related to this specific Ipad. My other Ipad3 works fine, as does my Macbook. The web based email interface is also fine, so this is not a problem with the username or password. I also receive email fine, so it is rather strange.
    Could it be some software glitch? Have others had this issue or have any idea's?

    Thanks again for the reply. Well, it does not sound like this is a common problem, so maybe it is unique to my Ipad somehow.  As mentioned earlier, i have no issue on another Ipad, not a 4 but a 3, with exactly the same settings. I have tried to delete the account and set it up again several times with and without airplane mode turned on. I use Virgin Media for my email here in the UK. They had no suggestions so far that could help. They correctly point out that since I have no problem with the other Ipad and the web access, it seems to point to some Ipad issue for the Ipad 4 or maybe just my particular Ipad.
    So here are the details: This is a so called Imap account, so in order to set it up on an Ipad, one has to choose "other" in the email set up screen. One of the reasons my confidence is somewhat shaken in the software is that I get a message claiming that this feature is for O2 clients only. That is to be ignored however, and when one presses next, one then gets the choice to set up the account as Imap only if the Ipad is in airplane mode. I am sorry, but that strikes me as slightly clumsy, and it took me many hours of self tech help before I found another user who thankfully had discovered the aiplane mode trick to get the Imap option. Nevermind, now I set up the account as specified, which is:
    Host: smtp.virgin.net
    User Name: [email protected] (example)
    Password: correctly entered
    SSL:on
    Authentication: Password
    Server: 465, but 25 is also supposed to work
    With all this, I can happily say it works on my Ipad3, but not my new one. Oddly as mentioned earlier, it worked for a month or so, then became intermittent, and then failed on my Ipad4. So it has actually worked even on the Ipad4.
    It is all very frustrating. Maybe I will take it to the store and have them check the device for faults, unless of course there is some guru who can help? Any suggestions are certainly welcome.
    Many thanks

  • Can't send emails after installing 10.9

    After installing OS X v10.9 I can not send emails.  Nothing has changed on the server level.  But in the setting it keeps showing up with a TLS and does not have anything to select to make changes.  What should I do?

  • IPHONE: PROBLEM SENDING EMAILS IN/OUT OF HOME ISP'S NETWORK

    THE PROBLEM:
    Some Home ISPs won't allow their users to use the same SMTP port when they are inside or outisde their Network to send an email of their ISP's domain
    ([email protected]).
    This prevents the iPhone user from being able to send emails flawlessly when switching from/to his home ISP's Network (WiFi) and his Cellular Network.
    THE RESOLUTION:
    Create a secondary SMTP server with a different port.
    → Goto: Settings
    → Mail Contacts Calendars
    → Select the account
    → Click the SMTP field
    → Click Add Server
    → Put the same info as the primary one, but change the port #.
    For instance, common SMTP ports include 25, 110, 465, 583, 587...
    This information should be gained from your specific ISP.
    In my case, SMTP port has to be 583 at home, connected to my WiFi, while it has to be 25 if I'm on my cell Network. If not, I can't send emails, user is rejected.
    As the iPhone will first try the primary server, than the secondary if the first dosen't work, I had this idea to create this twin server, except for the port number.
    Works great for me, hope it'll help a lot of people.
    eYe

    Tried that, but didn't work.
    Called Applecare, couldn't figure it out.
    Had this idea soon after going to bed.
    This idea just works...
    So, just thought I'd share...

  • I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi! I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi at home. I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I can not send email from my iPad .  Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email.  I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?

    I can not send email from my iPad .  Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email.  I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &amp;T cellular data plan?

    I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
    Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
    Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
    Anyone???

  • On 3G we cannot send emails from either our iPhones or iPad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Email account.  What is causing this and what do we need to do to resolve it?

    On 3G we cannot send  Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
    We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine.  We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
    Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this. 

    Contact whomever supports the email account and get the correct Outgoing email server settings from them.
