Earthlink email- some go, some don't 2

I thot I had this figured out with the generous help of the forum. Sadly, apparently not. Tweaked my settings, but I'm still having trouble sending mail. I keep getting this message "Cannot send mail using the server yadda yadda". I've tried these servers: smpt.earthlink.net and smptauth.earthlink.net.
When I click on 'Connection Doctor' it seems Pop Acct Logging into acct takes a long time. Even when the light turns green it still won't send mail.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks, No Alibi, that info is very helpful. I changed my outgoing server to smtpauth.earthlink.net.
The faq also said the smtp port should be 587, adding, "The option to change your outbound port number can usually be found under the Advanced tab in your email program’s account section."
When I open mail prefs, click Accounts tab and then the Advanced tab, I see at the bottom 'Port' with a window that originally said 110. When I changed that to 587 the mail went offline. When I changed back to 110 I received test emails from another email I have, so that would appear to be the incoming port.
So then I went Accounts>Account Information and clicked at the bottom on the dropdown beside Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) and clicked Edit SMTP Server List where I had changed 'smpt' to 'smptauth'. There I clicked the Advanced tab and it had a choice of 'Use default ports (25, 465, 587)' and 'Use Custom Port' with a window where you could input a custom port. The first was chosen already. Should I click custom and input 587 even tho it's one of the default ports?
Sorry for the wordiness, and thanks again for the info.

Earthlink email- some go, some don't

It seems that the more I email someone I develop a problem where when I try to email them I get a message that it won't go thru and I get the option to cancel, try later or try another server. I've opened an account at gmail and if I can't correct I'm quitting earthlink, this has happened too many times.
Any ideas how can I correct the problem?
As a mac lover I must say my latest purchase of an MB Pro has more nuisances and irritations than I ever thought a mac would have, and I'm hearing it from others, too. I feel like I'm on a pc sometimes, and I'm getting tired of it. I say listen up, mac people.

Some alerts get caught by eventaction and some don't ...

Trying to find out why certain type of alerts get cought by eventaction and some don't.
Got all kinds of voltage errors, warnings and such and those get all the way to our Tivoli gateway.
I've disable a CPU on one of our box and i see it in the console but it never gets shipped to our Tivoli network.
Now i've enable ALL the errors in the Action i've setup so i would get everything sent out. I'm starting to run out of places to look.
If somebody has a clue or something (even documentation wise) i'm all for it.
Thanks for you time.

Hi eberthiaume,
Already checked the log file ... its no where to be
found and that what is bothering me .. pretty strange
actually cause i can't see any filters on and i've
setup the Action so it takes all event from all the
servers every time and repeat each 10 minutes ....Do you mean the log doesn't exist at all, or that you never see your alarms in it?
I'm guessing the log is there, but when you trigger alarms for some hosts they appear as an entry in the log (and go to Tivoli)... but alarms from other systems never make it to the log (and never get sent to Tivoli).
Here's a simple test:
1) Trigger an alarm on an Agent that you know alarms don't appear for in EventActionHistory.log
2) After you trigger the alarm and see it light up in the Console, switch to the "Alarms" tab for that Agent.
3) Look for your alarm in that tab (press the refresh button a couple times if it doesn't show up in a few seconds)
If you see your alarm in the Alarms tab... but you don't see it in EventActionHistory.log within about 2 minutes.. then something is wrong (or misconfigured) with EventAction. If you don't see your alarm in the Alarms tab... then it's never making it into your SunMC Server's database... and there's something wrong with your Agent or Server. Go repeat steps 1-3 for an Agent that you've seen alarms from recently and confirm that if the alarm makes it to the Alarms tab it shows up in EventActionHistory.log soon after.
EventAction feeds off of the SunMC Oracle database.... if alarms don't make it to the database they will never make it to Tivoli either.
Based on what you find in the test steps you can decide if you should contact Sun support or Halcyon support.

Some songs copy , some don't

Some songs copy and some don’t. All from iTunes Website.
Receive message: ! Attempting to copy to the disk “ Marks iPod " failed.
The disk could not be read or written to.
I have followed instructions to Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall and Restore.
Please help.
By the way, I have tried to find a phone number, email address or chat for my free 90 day assistance but all roads just lead to dissapointment.

Well I believe I have resolved my problem. My iPod was on auto, I don’t know how it determines what order to copy the songs but it appears to select them in the same order every time. What seams to have been happening is it would be copying songs just fine until one song on a Curtis Mayfield CD and this song was causing the problem? The G4 would start making noise, I would get the error message and no further songs would be transferred. I switched to manual mode, transferred all songs except the one and every thing is fine. By the way, the entire Mayfield CD was from iTunes, any ideas as to why this one song is a problem?
And thanks for the one suggestion anyway.

I have some loops from acid 5 which I have dragged in a folder to the loop browser. Some of them retain the folder name in the View: and some don't. I have had some that seem to go in but I can't find them. Where should I look?

I have some loops from acid 5 which I have dragged in a folder to the loop browser. Some of them retain the folder name in the View: and some don't. I have also had some that seem to go in but I can't find them. If I try to add them again, I get a msg that they are already there. Where should I look?

It may be best to recreate the folder and the smart playlists from scratch.

Why am I having trouble importing vCards? I follow the Help Center instructions by dragging and dropping, but some don't sync into the cloud. And why can't I drag multiple vCards? I have over 4,000. Please tell me I don't have to do one at a time?

ITunes 11.3 some things add to library and some don't

I have iTunes 11.3.1 (2) (64 bit) and a Mackbook Pro 13" (early 2011 model) OS X 10.9.4. I moved my music, audiobooks, movies, podcasts, etc to a home server (Seagate Central) and created a new library. I was able to add my ring tones to iTunes as well as my audiobooks and about 600 of my songs. Some songs add and some don't. Doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason. I've imported m4a, mp3, m4p. The items that have imported and am trying to import come from the same iTunes Media/Music folder. I've tried adding both by folder and by individual file. I've also right-clicked a song and selected to open in iTunes and nada. I've also checked the Recently Added playlist and nothing is there as well. These same songs played when they were stored on my Macbook. I don't get it. I'll see a millisecond flash of the album but nothing happens. The only common factors I can see is that if it will let me play it in the finder it will let me add to iTunes. Also, it seems that 'older' stuff I added from CD from my older iPod days doesn't add. For kicks, I tried to copy and paste an album back to my MBP and it says I don't have permission but that happens with both ones that show up in the program and ones that don't. I'm the admin on both my laptop and the server. Grr. HELP!
PS: When I use Seagate's remote site I can listen to songs that won't play in my Finder or add.

I haven't seen this issue before but I have seen lots of posts here about issues with using iTunes with NAS. General rule of thumb is iTunes is not guaranteed to play well with NAS. For some it does, for others not.
My understanding is NAS uses its own software to interface with the computer's software. This could well have been designed with Windows in mind and the drive you are using may be formatted NTFS for Windows and iTunes is having to trust the software 100% for interfacing. Perhaps your files have illegal characters for Windows naming convention.
Remember the game where people sit in a long row and whisper a message from one end to the other, then compare the results which almost invariably have been garbled in transmission? That's iTunes and your files over NAS.
Maybe some of this is iTunes fault but if you take this issue to an Apple Store I bet they will ask you why you aren't using a plain external hard drive. If you use third party hardware then it is up to the vendor (who likely sells 95% to PC users) to ensure the interface works.

How come some of my JPG files show up broken and some don't in my assets panel?

I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and when I create JPG files, some show up in the Assets panel of Dreamweaver and some don't. I'm miffed as to why? I've tried resaving them as JPGs to no avail. When you try and insert the broken ones in Dreamweaver you just get the broken link box. I've also tried to link to the source file to no avail. So, please help!
Dale

Ben,
Thanks for the video. I learned some new stuff about the assets panel that I've been using. However, the problem still remains. Some of the JPGs that I've created in Photoshop CS6 show up fine and some don't. The same happens with Illustrator. I did find a workaround for this though. If you open up the JPGs in Fireworks and create a slice over the image and then export the selected slice, it does show up in the assets panel unbroken. So far it works every time. I don't want keep going to Fireworks though. Adobe needs to fix this problem. In CS4, I never, ever had this problem.
Thanks again Ben...

Check marks, symbols... some songs have them some don't want do they mean

I have purchased a few songs from the iTunes Store, copied some from CDs etc. Some of the songs have check marks some don't, some have this "radio like signal" in front of them some don't. What do these things mean? My real problem is, is that I can copy the songs with the "radio like signal sign" in front of them to my ipod but the others I can't copy or move anywhere, not playlists or on to my ipod. What am I doing incorrectly? Help!

The check boxes have a number of uses: iTunes: Understanding the Symbols Next to Songs
Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
The iPod has an option to only sync checked songs
The Genius & iTunes DJ features will ignore unchecked songs
Basically unchecking is a way of telling iTunes to ignore the item and exclude it from other automatic features.

No way to help without you actually sharing details
does it involve iPhoto for the Mac in any way? If so how? What version of iPhoto and of the OS? What is the exact error message? What email client do you use with iPhoto?

Only some movies I have placed in iTunes "Movies" are viewable via Apple TV. Why? Also some movies have blue dots in front of their titles and some don't . Why?

Please understand I am a frustrated customer like you, , but the availability of movies that have been shown before is dependant on licencing from the rights owners. Sky quite rightly have to pay the film studios for the ability to show to Sky's customers. As I understand it they purchase the right for a period of time, hence when the right expires then it has to be removed. The costing of the movies does reflect on the anticipated popularity of the programme, hence an older less popular movie might seem expensive but if not many people watch and pay that would be right. The apparent silliness of having movies in the store and on demand, allows those people who do not have a movie subscription to rent the movie on a one off basis. I agree that Sky seem to be licencing some programmes for shorter periods and it really upsets me when movies appear in buy and keep but not available to rent only. I recently queried Sky about Fortitude being available in OnDemand until 2022!, then of course found out that Sky owns the rights of the series. I can only say be careful if you are a movies subscriber and wish to watch a movie, not to select the Sky Store version if it is available in the Movies on Demand section. I recently wanted to watch a film that I found in Sky store at a cost, and just to be sure I searched for it and found it was to be shown on Channel 4 in a few days. I don't think we'll ever understand how such decision are made as to how long they licence movies for and how the charging model works with the film studios. Logically you would think that a smallish fee to have available indefinately and to pay the studio fee based on the number of rentals would be better, but that might be difficult to administer and Sky would have to have extra server storage fees, which they outsource. Hope that help you understand

How do I get album art work to download? Some do and some don't.

Can't sync all ringtones, some get sync, and some don't even though I clearly have them all checked.

I've created my AAC file and then changed it to m4r mode and then I copied it back to the tones section of iTunes. Everything is fine at this stage. Then when I try to sync all my tones, some get sync and some don't even though I clearly have all of them checked. So I click the all tones box instead and sync, then other tones which previously have not been synced are synced and those that were synced previously do not get synced. I've tried everything, from making duplicates of songs to even deleting my tones and re-syncing. I've taken over an hour to sync and still unsuccessful. Why is it so complicated just to sync a few tones? Is apple trying to discourage customers from using custom ringtones and only those from the iTunes store? Im so ready to just throw my phone... It's so much easier to transfer tones over using an android phone since I dont have to use some stupid software by android and sync when i can just drag and drop.
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks in advance

What fixed it for me:
On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
Uncheck "Sync Music"
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
Let it run and finish
Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
See if that doesn't work for you. I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.
