Can't setup Gmail account - "Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "

Since upgrading to Yosemite I can't add one of my gmail accounts.
It's my business domain which is hosted with GMAIL. It worked before the upgrade. Now adding the email address in 'internet accounts setup' I get the message "Can't setup Gmail account - "Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "
Mail will not let me setup an email account directly in mail either.
There seems to be major problems with mail in this update.
Also SMTP keeps failing.
Yosemite is a disaster.

Try this. I saw this solution elsewhere on the boards here.
When setting up a business gmail account, something other than @gmail.com, when you try to add the account in Mail preferences, don't select Google as the account type. Choose, "Other." Fill out the name, email and password as usual. Worked great for me after having similar issues trying to get my business gmail account to work in Yosemite.

Where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project?

where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project? I just ordered two copies of a calendar I designed in iPhoto and was surprised to find that the calendar's months were printing in something like an Arial 10 pt font. On previous calendars I've printer via iPhoto and Apple, the font was much larger. I've tried every menu option in iPhoto and the Calendar Project program and can't find where this is modifyable. Which leads me to ask, what the heck happened here in the first place? I did not consciously change the default.
I do remember that I got some notice when I first tried to print the calendar about the default font having been changed, but I don't know how this could have happened, and I didn't know what impact that had on the calendar until it was delivered. I typically print about a dozen annual calendars but won't buy another until I've got a handle on this problem. For the most part, the rest of the calendar is okay.
As a P.S. is there anywhere where one can get a power user's manual, or instruction on iPhoto?

"Maximum" and "12" usually refer to compression (influencing image quality and jpeg file size in bytes); and as Curt wrote, dpi is meaningless for display by and viewing in web browsers. (It could be a different matter if you are uploading the jpeg files for someone to download from the web to print.)
What are the sequence of steps that you and your batch processing take from Bridge?
You can use call Photoshop's Image Processor from Bridge to create the jpeg files (Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor). In the Image Processor you can set jpeg compression, pixel dimensions if desired, also convert to sRGB (good idea for web display). In my experience the image processor leaves unchanged whatever dpi is set in the source file; or, if none there as might be for a pdf, it will set the dpi value in your New Document Preset Print Resolution (from your Photoshop Units & Rulers preferences).

How can I edit the default settings for the Email button?

I saw this question posted for February and as yet still unanswered. So I am now asking it again.
I do not want to use my .mac account email address in my website. I want it linked to my domain. I have found no specific instructions for changing the default. Also my drag down "Link to" menu in the Inspector does not work.
Thanks........

While you can't edit the default email address in iWeb, there is a workaround which may suit.
In Safari, locate a web page which has iWeb's email button on it (if you've already published a site, one of your own web pages is ideal). Control-click on the button and select 'Add Image to iPhoto Library'. Drag this image from the Media Browser to your iWeb page, select the image, and use the Link inspector to enable it as a hyperlink linking to 'An Email Message'. Enter whatever email address you like in the To box and a Subject for the message if you wish.
To make things easier, create an iWeb library in iPhoto and add the email button to it for handy access.

Which files actually hold the info & settings for a single Mail Account?

One of my mail accounts must have gotten corrupted yesterday. Since then I can no longer retrieve mail for this account. This account can still send mail normally. All the other mail accounts on this machine function properly and I can retrieve emails from this account on another Mac.
I could probably solve the problem by deleting the account and recreating it. However when I had this problem once before and deleted/recreated the account it was a long process to try to import all the old emails (which I want to keep) from my Time Machine backup. At that time I still lost emails because the import kept hanging up at the same point in the process, so I would like to avoid having to go through that again.
I'm hoping that if I could identify the files that hold all the account specific info I could restore just those files with Time Machine. I'm guessing that if I were to quit Mail, restore those files and then relaunch Mail, everything should be back to the way it was before the files were corrupted.
Does anyone know if my theory is valid? And, if so, do you know which files I need to replace and where to find them?
-- Thanks, in advance, for your help!

Thanks for the response!
Well, I looked in the location you mentioned (Users/yourname/Library/Mail/nameof_yourpop account) before posting my question, but if you look in that POP folder the only things there are the .mbox files for that account: Deleted Messages.mbox, Drafts.mbox, INBOX.mbox, Junk.mbox & Sent Messages.mbox. Inside each of those are the actual emails for those folders, which would restore all the emails (which I haven't lost), but there doesn't seem to be any files that carry the info/settings for the account.
I was hoping to find the settings files which must be located somewhere else. Do you have any other suggestions?

Which are the correct settings for gmail in MacBookPro

I want to use mac mail to access my gmail. Can I ? instead of going directly to web to access my gmail.? Which are the correct settings for the incoming and outgoing servers ?

Hi,
Yes. You can absolutely access your Gmail account from within either Mail or Microsoft Outlook for Mac. Make sure, that you have enabled POP/IMAP in your Gmail settings, then follow the instructions here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=180188 if you wish to access your account via POP3 instead of IMAP, change the incoming mail server to pop.gmail.com

What are the correct settings for yahoo mail?

It used to be that the free yahoo account did not give you IMAP access, only POP3 or webmail. However this may since have changed in view of the fact Google Gmail has offered free IMAP access for years.
I found the following article which may answer your questions.

Can I setup an Apple ID with only a Paypal account and NO credit card?

Can I setup an Apple ID with only a Paypal account and NO credit card?

You can set up an apple Id without a credit card using this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534
After that, you can login at iTunes on a computer, go to 'Account' and just change the payment information to something else.
NB: where I live, the only three options for payment are creditcard, iTunes gift cards and Click&Buy, not Paypal. It might be possible elswhere though, I'm not sure.
Good luck

TS3899 I can't find the 'sync settings' in the mail settings to limit the number of emails in my account

I can't find the 'sync settings' in the mail settings to limit the number of emails stored on my ipad.

That option depends on what kind of mail account it is. On an Exchange account, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Tap the account and you should see "Mail days to sync." If that option isn't there, you won't be able to change it. You could always clean up your inbox on the server.

Problem: Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "Unknown"

Gmail exchange settings for Apple Mail?

I would like to use gmail's exchange server settings for quicker mail notifications on the iPhone, but unless I can configure Apple Mail for it as well, read status and such won't sync up. Is there any way to get it to work on the desktop?
Thanks.

Right. Sorry if I wasn't clear initially, but the replied to, etc., status is what I need to sync up. When the iPhone is configured to standard IMAP, that does work. I'll just have to leave it as-is if Apple Mail can't use those Exchange settings.

Could someone please advise on my current problem? Apparantly I can no longer download tones to my phone or account to be used as such since the tones are being downloaded as songs that cannot be transferred or placed in the tones area for the phone...

Could someone please advise on my current problem? Apparantly I can no longer download tones to my phone or account to be used as such since the tones are being downloaded as songs that cannot be transferred or placed in the tones area for the phone or in iTunes. Prior to the last update, this was always an option. I have also noticed that the Ringtones and Alert Tones are not showing up in my recent purchases as well to allow for me to place them back on my phone and there for require for them to be purchased again... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've discovered that all tones purchased will be downloaded as ringtones, BUT they can be utilized as tones and assigned as alert tones on the iPhone...
