Cox cable and Apple TV apps

How come I can't choose Cox cable when trying to activate Lifetime and History on my Apple TV? They list so many providers, but do not list Cox. When are they going to add Cox as a choice? What is the delay in adding Cox? In the past I could activate with a choice of Cox for other channels. Is Apple aware that Cox is missing from the list of providers? It's like I pay for these channels but I cannot access them on Apple TV, annoyed.

This has nothing to do with Apple or the Apple TV. You would get the same list of providers if you were trying to do this with a Roku box for example.
It is up to the content providers (History channel, ESPN, NBC, etc) to make arrangements with the cable companies to allow this to happen. For whatever reason some companies just don;t play nice together.
The best you can do is let Cox and the content providers know you would like them to sort this out.

IOS 7.1 and APPLE Music APP

After the ios 7.1 update, when going into my Apple Music App and playing songs, when selecting a song the system does not play the song selected....it plays a song that is 3 or four titles ABOVE the selected song. The location seems to change but what is constant is that when selecting a song the system DOES NOT play tha song that I select. Anyone assistance and/or anyone else experiencing this issue? Thank you!

Hey DDKieffer,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Music application. To troubleshoot these issues, let’s force the app to close, and then restart your device:

Mavericks and kerberized NFS and Apple Native Apps

"Sandbox creation failed: AppSandboxUtilRealPathForPath(self.userAccountHomeDirectoryPath) failed: The operation couldn’t be completed. Permission denied"
We have a kerberized NFS environment that automounts an NFS mount which stores user home directories. Under 10.9.1 all worked fine, however when we upgraded to 10.9.2 and beyond we can no longer successfully launch any Apple Native apps such as Preview, Maps, etc. The apps quit unexpectly producing the error listed above. A search of the internet for this particular error message yields only a single result and the circumstances are completely dissimilar as the other issue occurs on non-Apple hardware.

Anyone with any insight or seeing similar results that has any good solutions or ideas are welcomed.

Switch to AFP?
Ask in the Mac OS X Server section?
Ask on Spiceworks Community?
In the 10.5 and 10.6 days, NFS wouldn't do the resource forks correctly which broke the fonts.

HT4863 i have Cox cable and all of a sudden my Icloud account won't send messages, only receive. Doesn't recognize my smtp address. Any suggestions on setting up the smtp address?

I have an Imacand Cox Cable. For some reason, recently, I cannot send email from my Icloud account, on;y receive. It says it is not connecting with my smtp.me.com account, but I haven't changed that from when it was working a few days ago. Any suggestions?

You should check that your settings (both directions) match this:
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? If you migrated from MobileMe using this your mail settings won't be correct and you will need to follow this procedure to re-enter them:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

Issues with Cox Cable and mail server?

I need an accurate port to send mail. I have never been able to use my mac mail (send or receive) and my cox mail (worked for both at one point) on entourage (cox) my outgoing mail does not work, however, it will receive mail? I am using the latest version of Leopard and I disabled my firewall? Cox wouldn't help me they said to just contact apple? I have the correct pop server (pop.east.cox.net) and SMTP server (smtp.east.cox.net). This is really bothering me so if someone could help I would appreciate it. I currently have my mail set on port 110 for both outgoing and incoming.

And you changed the SMTP port from the default of 25 because...?

Cox cable and smtp

Hi! I am trying to get smtp to work with cox cable. I am using the smpt.east.cox.net server. Apparently, Cox will not support any Mac OS-X email clients.
I have tried using ports 25 & 587 with and without the various authentication. Also, turned on and off the firewall.
I have also tried using entourage to see if this is Mail specific, but no luck.
I can browse and receive mail, but cannot send mail. In reviewing the archives, it seems that this has been a problem in the past, but no resolution was posted.
Anybody got this to work?
Mac mini duo intel Mac OS X (10.4.10) 1.0 GB ram
iMac G5 20" Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1.5GB ram

I am using the smpt.east.cox.net server
Is this a typo with your post only since it should be smtp and not smpt?
Did Cox technical support at least confirm the SMTP server you are using is correct - smtp.east.cox.net?
The required account settings - the incoming mail server and outgoing mail server and if the SMTP server requires authentication and the server port for the SMTP server, etc. is platform (OS X or Winblows) and email client independent.
Keep the built-in firewall included with OS X enabled which has no effect on this.
Since you cannot send messages with Entourage or Mail using the identical SMTP server settings, this seems to indicate you are not using the correct SMTP server settings and a simple typo can be the cause.
Any error message provided and if so what?

IPad 1, iOS 5.1.1 and Apple Store app

Lauch the Apple store app, tells me to upgrade to latest iOS and app version.
Takes me to App store.
Asks if I want to download older version for my iPad.
Click Yes, it downloads and starts all over again.
Anyone getting the Apple Store app to work on iPad 1?

David Shanahan wrote:
Not at all this is just the march of progress. I have an iPad 1 too (and a bronze keyboard Powerbook and several other obsolete computers), but I don't use it anymore as I realise it's nothing but a museum piece nowadays. It says right there on the App Store page for the app that the current release is only compatible with iOS 6 and above. So that rules out the iPad 1.
Except that I (and everyone else) can now download the previous version of apps that are compatible with their device (though It was already installed and didn't need to be redownloaded).
Apple really shouldn't allow you to download and install the new Apple Store app on an iPad 1,
They don't allow you to do it. They specifically tell you that you cannot and then allow you to download the latest compatible version.
This was a recent change by Apple.
The iPad 1 is now four generations of hardware (and two major software releases) behind the current systems, you can't expect app developers (including Apple) to keep supporting such old software and hardware
Yes I can expect this.
Restore the connection to the store through the app that Apple allow sme to redownload.
(though the connection issue may be a "glitch"/bug and not intentionally disabled).

Passbook and Apple Pay app doesnt function

Hi!
When I open the Passbook app, it defaults to a screen that just says to scan code or find apps for Passbook.
I am trying to set up Apple Pay but nowhere on it am I able to click the plus icon mentioned in the tutorials.

Check this support document for help with starting Apple Pay. Set up and use Apple Pay on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
According to your profile, you are using iOS 6.1.4 and an iPhone 5s. If the phone is correct, the iOS is not. And, if you have an iPhone 5s, then you cannot use Apple Pay. It requires the hardware in an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus.

Cable and Apple TV

Do you still need a cable box if you purchase apple tv?

appletv don't receive any broadcasted tv whatsoever
it play whats in your itunes lib on your computer when it's on
it play netflix and some sports stuff from the internet if you have a subscription
it play stuff you rent from itunes store
it play video podcasts
it play youtube
and thats it so if you want cable channels or satelite channels then appletv will not help you

Exchange Server 2008 and Apple Mail App

My place of employment recently hired a 3rd party company to handle setting up and managing our servers. This includes our email, which is now run on Microsoft Exchange Server 2008.
I am the only user in the office that uses Macs, and we are having an impossible time of figuring out what could be wrong that Apple Mail is not letting us connect to the Exchange server to receive/send email. We can ping the Exchange server just fine from Terminal.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Anyone know of work-arounds? I'm using 10.4.11 at the moment. Mail is version 2.1.3.
I read all the other Exchange-related topics in here and none were able to help me.
Thank you!

Well that's bizarre, since I have the opposite problem. I can connect to the Exchange Server using Entourage 2004 no problem. However I do not use the Outlook http:// type access, I simply typed in the Exchange server address something like SEBNN-EX002. Then Entourage went off and established all the connections et voila.!
But there are issues however. Entourage could not connect to the address server, so I think that's an LLDP problem but I'm not too bothered about that. Also I think some of the Calender implementations have a few bugs. For example, you can't drag-and-drop a mail item onto the calender icon to create an event, you have to right-click and use the built-in scripts to do it. Also, inviting attendees to a meeting is a bit hit/miss.
I would actually like to use Apple Mail instead, but have never been able to configure it to run - it always gets the "cannot connect to exchange server" error. An y advice would be welcome.

Currently users must be Verizon Fios, Direct TV, or Optimum customers to activate the A&E channel.

Not sure that I have selected the correct forum. Hope my questions are clearly stated.
Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter. TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices). It does not show Mail or Safari menus. System preferences' display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution. I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access. Is there any way to make this work for us? We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web. Do we need Apple TV to do this? Or is it not possible with our old iMac? My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor.
Thank you

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time, you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.
