Can't use comcast email account with Firefox. Why and how to fix it?

I cannot open my comcast.net email accounts. I can see the Inbox Preview page but I can open, send a new email, etc.. It started Monday evening November 11, 2011. It happened a couple of times a few weeks ago then resolved.

Download and install the 10.6.8 Combo Update over your current installation of 10.6.8.It should repair whatever is corrupted. The Mac App Store does not belong in the Utilities folder, Mac OS X expects it to be in the Apps folder where it is installed..
Mac OS X v10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

Can you use any email account with iChat?

It appears that iChat allows you to add other other email accounts other than AOL or MobileMe but can you chat using these accounts and can you screen share etc with non MobileMe users?

Hi,
The answer is yes but your question is wrong.
The AIM page for Registration now allows you to use any Email ID as a Screen Name.
AIM has long done this for the Apple IDs of [email protected] and the MobileMe type email IDs of [email protected]
They have also done it for other ISPs in the past as well
More recently I have had someone test with me having used a Hotmail ID in the AIM Registration process.
Jabber IDs look like email IDs and in the case of the GoogleTalk option they can be.
As long as the Screen Name works in one of your Buddy lists it will be valid And if they are an iChat user with iChat 4 or above then they will be able to Screen Share.
NOTES:
Screen Sharing in iChat uses a Random port so any router or modem that routes need to be able to use UPnP or Port Mapping Protocol to open the ports or it will not work.

for example if ur id is ****@hotmail.com that type ****@abc.com insted of hotmail. and correct it on second stage.
Go to Mail on your phone - Options - Settings - scroll down to email - Options - New Mailbox
Click - start and then NO to allow connections (that stops Nokia Messaging swinging into control)
Now enter your hotmail address except do not put @hotmail.com at the end. Put @abc.com
e..g. if you email is *****@hotmail.com then enter mailto:*****@abc.com
Now enter your password - press OK
Now you will get an OPTION to define settings and it will allow you to manually set the POP3 or IMAP
Now put in your correct email id and passwd while setting the IMAP. for gmail use the following >
Enter 'imap.gmail.com' as the incoming mail server, Select 'SSL/TLS' for your security (ports) and define your port as '993.'

Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices

Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices?

The iTunes EULA, as I understand it (I'm not an attorney )for Apps is basically that one person can use an App multiple devices, or multiple people can use an App one device..so one to many or many to one, but not many to many....

Can i use LTE in Italy with iPad 3 and iOS 6.1?

Can i use LTE in Italy with iPad 3 and iOS 6.1?

Unfortunately no. iPad 3rd gen LTE hardware is different than iPad 4th gen LTE hardware. Compatibility list http://www.apple.com/ipad/LTE/ gives us no hope. Only in US and Canada you can use LTE with iPad 3rd gen. We are so unlucky. I paid for iPad 3rd gen 32Gb, Wifi + Cellular 729 Euros and only 5 months later Apple released iPad 4th gen. I am testing LTE on my iPhone 5 today and it really ROCKS.

This is a new notification coming up with iTunes, why and how do I fix it? The song "Penny Lane" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?

Hey xxCreepyFiaxx,
First, I would try the following suggested steps for when you don't see content in iTunes after updating:
Quit iTunes.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
Use the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer (Windows) to go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
Mac OS X
/Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Microsoft Windows Windows XP and Windows 2000
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Windows Vista and Windows 7
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Drag the iTunes Library file from the above location to the Desktop.
Open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in the iTunes folder.
Locate the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you upgraded iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
Drag this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
Rename this file to iTunes Library.
Open iTunes.
You should now see your missing content in iTunes.

If that doesn't resolve the issue, then I'd go through the steps in here:

When I attach a JPG file in my email and send it to a Windows friend they get the message "The file type being saved or retrieved has been blocked when they try to open it." Anyone know why and how to fix this problem?

Your Windows friend should ask in a Windows forum why his email client won't open attached jpg files. We have no idea what email client he is using or how his Windows security is configured.

I just sent a rather detailed question. I can repeat if I must, but it involves downloading Javascript in order to use my new Yahoo email account with Firefox. Please advise.

I repeat: I established an email account with Yahoo.com. I prepared my new address book, have sent several emails to friends, changing my email address. NOW, I can't open my Yahoo email, I get a message that to make Yahoo work with Firefix, I must download Javascript. But the directions to download aren't complete. Do you have someone I can talk with since it appears to be a compatibility problem between Yahoo & Firefox? My old email address (still working): [email protected])

Am I supposed to wait? It's now been 18 minutes since I got your email, confirming my Help question. Jim Zim

How can i use an email address with an apostrophe as my apple ID

I need use a school email address for a new Apple ID but it has an apostrophe, and Apple does not see it as a valid address. How can I use that email?

Welcome to the Apple Community Juduth.
If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.
