E-mail won't send most of the time

Ever since my Touch upgraded to the v. 4 firmware I've had trouble with sending e-mail. I don't have as much problem receiving mail...sometimes I can only preview my messages and but most of the time I can open received messages. For a while I couldn't send mail (I use Yahoo and the Touch already had the server settings for it), then after a couple of days it suddeenly started sending again. Now it's not sending! So aggravating!!
The error message says "The connection to the outgoing server "apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com" failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars." This seems silly because it works - just off and on! Does anyone else have this issue...any solutions? Thanks

I am having the same problem. I have an ipod touch that worked fine up until the 4.0 firmware. The only thing I have noticed with mine that it was glitchy when it came to sending mail (which I use yahoo). Then most recently it stopped sending altogether. My isp is verizon & I have an airport extreme. I noticed today I can bounce off of a neighbors linksys wifi. Now I have no clue who their isp is. It's either verizon or comcast. Regardless I was able to send mail using their internet. Mine on the other hand is a no go.
I too am *extremely frustrated*. I have deleted my mail accts several times in hopes of it fixing the problem. I also updated to the latest firmware of 4.1 in hopes of it resolving the issue. I even tried using other smtp servers with no luck.
I hope someone out here has a solution to this problem. It is very frustrating.

  • Thunderbird won't accept comcast email to send most of the time, also gmail password most of the time

    Sorry. I hit something and ended up on beginning page. No idea if you got the previous one of these. Put into search why won't thunderbird accept my password. Up came a messed up version of my comcast email password. My gmail password was not addressed. Since I used the singular for password, that could be why. Since a friend of mine somehow changed some thing, I could both send and get in to see my email using both passwords - comcast and gmail. Before that I could not get in nor send with neither the comcast nor the gmail passwords. First, I wonder what he changed. Second, did he mess it up further and make it much harder to fix? What is strange is when he changed what ever he changed, for a short time afterword, I could both send and get in to see the email using both , then it went to see email only with both passwords and not send with either one I really am sorry I had him work on it, but some how I did not find this system to ask questions. I made several attempts; however, only found articles. Actually, I found this by accident and am not sure I could it again. Would you please tell me how to get to this system? I tend to be verbose. I hope not too much so. Thank you for your volunteer time and effort. I truly hope this does not a lot of hassle to fix or tell me how if that is the way it is done. If I have to do it, please make it simple.

  • Macbook Pro won't start most of the time; freezes constantly.

    I always come to these forums for answers and I've always found them, so I thank you in advance for everything you do. Unfortunately, I can't find an answer for this one...
    My Macbook Pro 13" (early 2008?, maybe mid-2008?) had a weird thing happen this morning where a whole bunch of applications froze up. I could still move the mouse, though. It got so bad that I just shut my computer down by holding the power button. When I tried to restart, it came up with a gray screen and nothing happened. Then I tried it again, and it couldn't find the startup directory (folder with question mark). I then restarted the computer and held down option, specifying the start-up directory as the hard drive. It accepted the command, but didn't start up, so I was forced to power it down again. I then tried to repeat this, but when I pressed the option key just after start-up, it just shut down immediately. This happened several times.
    Some hours later I got the computer to start up again after using the restore disk (option, then select), and reinstalling Mavericks. I was able to run disk utility, which showed no problems with the hard drive. I looked at console and I'm getting constant error messages for a variety of reasons:

    And that one happened on startup.
    I'm running the computer right now, and nothing has gone wrong, yet. Of course, the error messages are still there, so I don't think anything has changed, I'm just trying to run as few applications as possible and I'm only on this website.

    I get the sense that there's a lot of crap on this computer that I ought to get rid of, but I'm not sure if this is causing the problem.
    Also, I just installed 10.9.3 yesterday.
    Thanks again for any help you can provide!

    Well, the computer stopped starting up at all. It could never find the operating system. I tried safe mode and virtually every other non-standard start-up option. I then did target disk mode with another MBP and got the message: "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." I then tried using disk utility and it couldn't retrieve retrieve the data using restore (writing to an external drive). I suspect that this means the hard drive would need to be replaced. In your expert opinions, is this necessarily true? Could this still be just a software problem, or perhaps some other piece of hardware?
    Part of the reason I ask is that this laptop is now nearly five years old. It's needed a new battery for two years. If it's a virtual certainty that the hard drive is toast, I don't want to pay $150 for someone to take it out and try to recover any remaining data from it, only to reveal that the data is indeed irretrievable (since the computer itself is probably only worth $300-400 at this point). The nearest Genius Bar is also more than 2 hours away. Am I going about this the right way by using disk utility, given that the hard drive won't mount to the desktop of the other computer? If the hard drive can't be reat in target disk mode, does that confirm that it is the hard drive?
    Thanks
    Oh also, it does still make the startup noise, even though I can't run the AHT since I can't get it to start up in safemode. I thought this mean that it passing various hardware tests. Does this not apply to the hard drive?

  • Wifi with Login pop up or page won't work most of the time

    Free wifi with login areas don't work anymore on my machine after a couple of uses. I haved used them in these locations before and know the signal is strong and they are working and other people are able to connect. What happens is the login window or page won't load after a few times. I"ve tried several things after reading throgh several disscussions with this and no success.
    1. I tried making a new wireless location and a new dns. Dosn't work.
    2. I tried spoofing my my mac adress (dosn't work)
    3.Clearing out all the cache and system files using onyx (this worked at first and after a restart I would get  the login window but now no longer works)
    4. Referesing the browser and or clearing cache and restarting (dosn't work)
    5. I tried disabling the fire wall and making sure all the java and browser pop ups are open.
    This is a huge problem as I work from home as a web developer and designer but have to wait anther two weeks for internet at home and can't use the free wifi. My cell service barly works in my appartment but barley and is costing a fortune. Any help on this issue would be greatly apreciated. Apart from buying a pc I'm not sure what to do.
    Thanks again for anyone posts,

    One of the free wifi services I can use will work if I turn off the ocsp and crl from the keychain preferences. Apparently there apple put this in place and it can cause problems with the pop ups from the free wifi services. It still only works with one of the free services with this disabled and apparently opens up security issues.

  • Z10 Remember app won't load most of the time on 10.1.0.200​6

    I just upgraded to 10.1 and the Remember app mostly doesn't work. I opened the app at 6:13 and it greeted me with the spinning circle "wait" graphic. It's now 6:22 and it's still doing that.  One of the reasons I stuck with Blackberry is the epic fail of Evernote and the times I've written something important in Evernote only to get a "memo updated externally" message from evernote that wipes extremely important text, measurements, etc....   However, Remember is sorely lacking too, and not as good as the separated tasks and memos in the previous instances, and it needs to load pronto. 
    Is there any other alternative since Remember doesn't work any more?
    I just did kill Remember after 8 minutes of the stuck wait indicator and now it came up after reloading it. But it seems that off a fresh reboot, Remember can't come up on it's own successfully, ever.  I don't want to bang on Blackberry and ask if they test or we're all the guineapigs, but come on, as a user I shouldn't be able to list 40 bugs in 5 minutes, and more if you push it and give me more time.  The old OS was never like that since I started using BB in 2006.

    *Resolved.*
    On the previous day I was trying to fix my soundcard somehow, inside the laptop. It looks that some cable makes no good connection after that. I think it was the display cable.
    Now the laptop works. I can get more successfull turn-ons now.

  • My pictures and group texts won't send 80% of the time.

    My Iphone 5 has lots of troubles texting photos and sending group texts. I have AT&T and have no idea why this is. My photos usually only send when it's to another iphone and it still has lots of issues sometimes.

    I am having the same problem. I have an ipod touch that worked fine up until the 4.0 firmware. The only thing I have noticed with mine that it was glitchy when it came to sending mail (which I use yahoo). Then most recently it stopped sending altogether. My isp is verizon & I have an airport extreme. I noticed today I can bounce off of a neighbors linksys wifi. Now I have no clue who their isp is. It's either verizon or comcast. Regardless I was able to send mail using their internet. Mine on the other hand is a no go.
    I too am *extremely frustrated*. I have deleted my mail accts several times in hopes of it fixing the problem. I also updated to the latest firmware of 4.1 in hopes of it resolving the issue. I even tried using other smtp servers with no luck.
    I hope someone out here has a solution to this problem. It is very frustrating.

  • Photosmart C4795 won't print (most of the time)

    I have a Photosmart C4795 installed on two computers, one with XP, the other Vista. The installation(with the Vista computer) went smoothly, along with all tests and some documents of my own, and on the XP one. After a few months it started giving me a "paper not found issue". I discovered I needed to push hard enough to get the paper in far enough, but not too far. Now (on the XP computer) it says its printing, pulls in the paper and then sits until I get an error message on my computer. I went through all the guided solutions and none worked. The XP computer is an HP Mini 1000, and updating HP doesn't change anything.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I managed to get it working by sending the document a second time, then cancelling the errored print job on my computer, and after it was cancelled on the computer cancelling on the printer. The moment the paper ejected I placed it on the paper tray at a point an inch away from where I was told to in the animations. Then it started on the second print job and worked (it stopped because I only had one page, but resumed when I placed the paper at the same spot and pushed OK.) If the whole problem was in fact where I was placing the paper I wish the animations would show proper positioning.
    If anyone needs assistance or clarification on how I made it work again please reply.

  • Ever since I downloaded OS X Mountain Lion on my iMac, the Safari won't often (most of the time) and I have to restart to open a web page.  What is going on?  What can I do?

    Ever since I downloaded OS X Mountain Lion on my iMac, the Safari won't open.  It loads half way and then stops.  Same thing happens when we try to open a web page.  If I restart the computer, it will then work.  What is going on?  What can I do?  Help!

    It will but it's only a temporary fix, ideally you should get a large external drive and move your photo library to it, do this (info)
    Apple Menu>About This Mac>More Info>Storage, you will get a graphic that looks like the one below, post it here.

  • Apple Mail won't send invitations when initially closed

    I just started using iCal to send invitations for appointments through Apple Mail. When Apple Mail is opened already when I create the appointment and click Send in iCal, it works fine. The mail is sent and delivered to the appropriate address.
    But if Apple Mail is closed initially, the application starts and the invitation is queued up in the Outbox but is never sent. I can manually open up each invitation in Mail and send them individually, but why is the behavior different? Whether Mail is opened or closed when I send an invitation, it ought to deliver the invitation automatically. By not being sent, I may not realize the invitation hasn't been delivered, making the process very error-prone. Is there a way to guarantee the invitation actually gets sent without having to check the Outbox every time?
    Is this an iCal bug or an Apple Mail bug? I saw no settings in Apple Mail for sending messages at shutdown or any other setting like this. Instead, these invitations may end up being buried in my Outbox for a very long time before I notice and by then, it may be too late.

    The most recent OS is currently OS 10.8.3.  Your system profile confirms you are still using Mac OS X (10.7.5).  If this is incorrect, please correct your profile so that you will get the correct troubleshooting suggestions/solutions. 
    Also, post in the OS/Mail forum of whichever OS is currently installed on your MBP.  It's where the OS/Mail expert helpers hang out at. 

  • Mail won't send without Connection Doctor having to be launched.

    Mail won't send without Connection Doctor having to be launched. After running Connection Doctor, it will send, so settings all must be ok. But 15 minutes later, I need to "check again" to send mail. I read previous posts on this from a few years ago, but my laptop is running Lion.

    Try just watching the "Activity" window to learn what is happening to your mail - I have found it to be most enlightening.

  • Mail won't send failed outgoing messages to Outbox; and another prob.

    When I try to send mail and the server isn't recognized Mail won't put it in the Outbox until it can be sent. It says that the message can't be put in outbox.
    Also, Mail won't create new folders unless it's a smart folder.
    This is a brand new computer.
    Any advice?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Discussions. Searching the Discussion is a powerful tool. Recently a similar report was discussed, and at least one resolution found, based upon the fact that the Mail folder was missing the Mailboxes folder, where both the Outbox.mbox AND On My Mac mailboxes (New Mailboxes) must be stored. Read:

    If this is also the case with your Mail folder, it would be most interesting to try to explain why the Mailboxes folder was missing in these particular instances. Please provide any thoughts, or insight into actions that might have led to this.

    See if this helps. I recieved this from Comcast back in November 2012, but may have something to do with it.
    Dear Valued XFINITY Internet Customer, 
    Action Taken:
    On August 1, Comcast announced that we will no longer support the use of port 25 for sending email. Many older email clients (such as Outlook Express) default to using this port to send email. Please read this message to understand how this action may impact your ability to send email, and what you should do next. 
    Comcast Webmail Users:
    If you use a web browser to access Xfinity Connect or other webmail service, this action will not affect your ability to send or receive e-mail. 
    Email Program Users (Outlook Express, Outlook, MacMail, etc.):
    If you use an email program, this action will disable your program's ability to send email until you change your email program settings to send email on port 465. To protect your email security, click on the link for your current email software, then follow the step-by-step instructions to change your settings.

  • My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

    My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.

    Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.
    I can receive mail but can't send it from Mail 3.5. Same problem on a wired G5 and on a wi-fi MacBook (using the same account), so not hardware related. Worked fine 'till today - I didn't change anything in between times. Incoming mail no problem. Tried mail rebuild, keychain first aid, deleting the account, repair disk permission - doesn't help.
    Mail's connection doctor says "smpt.xxxxxx - connection to server succeeded, no login required."
    Anybody any ideas? Thanks, N

    Been having the same problem for a few weeks now. This has been working just fine, and all of a sudden - nothing. The update to 10.5.6 didn't do anything to fix this either.
    I've spent numerous hours on the phone with the Apple support. Seeing as the two other accounts that I have configured work with no problem, they say that this is a problem with the provider which is also the ISP. I then called the support line for the ISP and informed them of this and they say that it's a problem with the software.
    Interestingly, if I send a message to somone with the same ISP, the message will go. But I can't send a message outside of the provider. Does anyone else have this problem?
    Also, from another forum, they suggested rebuilding the LaunchServices database. The Apple support didn't see what that would do. But I tried it anyway and the problem still exists.
    Another intesting thing is certificates. It's only happened twice, but I've received the message saying that Mail can't verify the certificate XXXXX which validates the identity of the smtp. Anyone else get this? I thought perhaps I could delete the certificate and it would magically reappear. But when I go into KeyChain, the certificate is listed only under System Root and I can't delete it.
    ideas?
