Email address box will not accept address.

Hello,
I am having trouble sending half a dozen photographs by eMail.  I follow the procedure iPhoto > last import >select photos > share > email ... but the 'To' box on the email screen that appears will NOT take the address.   The text box allows me to enter text but still the address box refuses my attempts to enter an address.   I can do everything else on the screen (adjust photo size etc) except send the photos.
Much obliged to anyone who can advise where I might be going wrong.

It's still a mystery how it happened, but I believe it started with a mix-up on icloud in combination with IMAP gmail access and a second email account in Apple Mail (the second iMac with POP access and only one email account did not have any such problems):
- both of our accounts were using icloud.
- after addition of another iPad we suddenly lost access to our website (IP address blocked due to too many login attempts, which must have come from the email address related to the webserver, via Apple mail and icloud), equally we lost IMAP access to gmail (too many connections open)
- whilst testing/repairing these problems our icloud ID's got entangled (synchronising accidently with the wrong userID)
- disabling all icloud synchronisations (except for iphoto) and rebuilding the Apple contact vcards by download from gmail had cured most problems
- in that process some contact cards without first/last name were downloaded from gmail
- afterwards iphoto would blank out all email addresses, hence I also disabled icloud for photos
- on restart, iphoto declared the library as corrupted and attempted to rebuild it using the wrong computer userID (only photos belonging to a guest account were added)
- with option/command/click I rebuild the iphoto account without noticing any improvement
- hence I deleted in iphoto the gmail account and created a new one
- I restarted with option/cmd/click and rebuild the iphoto database
Now everything works fine again, but I can't tell which step cured the issue. Even email contacts without first/last name can be selected, and gmail IMAP addressbook and Apple contacts can be used simultaneously (with duplicate contacts in it).

  • For about 2 weeks I have been unable to leave feedback on ebay. Firefox brings up login page but will not accept password. I am having the same problem with my yahoo email. It will not accept my passwords, so I have to use IE to login to these accounts.

    On yahoo email, it accepted my login id, but not password. This started on one account about two weeks ago. Today when I tried to login to another yahoo email, which worked yesterday, but it would not accept my password on this account.
    I bought some items on ebay and wanted to leave feedback. When I clicked on the leave feedback button a sign in window appeared, this should not have happened, when I tried to sign in, it would not accept my password. I called ebay and was told they have had many complaints from customers using firefox when trying to leave feedback. The help desk suggested I try with Internet Explorer, I did, and it worked perfectly.
    I have been using firefox for a long time and really do not want to go back to IE, but when I cannot sign into my accounts, I can't, so I will have to use IE.
    As far as I know, no new programs have been installed on this computer.

  • I added a password and email and it will not accept

    and i have no clue how to do ichat alli need is a explaination step by step how to start chatting on ichat please

    HI,
    Starting in iChat 4
    There are two menus on this page.  One at the top  and the slightly lower one headed "iChat 4 How-Tos"
    This menu contains links to Setting up a Screen Name*, the Start Up Screens and so on up to Video Chats
    Screen Names*
    These have changed some what since I wrote that page.
    Apple still issue IDs via iCloud now rather than MobileMe
    These are still Valid AIM Screen Names and will work in iChat 6 (Lion OS X 10.6.x) and Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x) with Messages.
    However these two version have a second Log in to a server called Me.com which in turn then allows the AIM servers to "See" the password held at Apple.
    Effectively it means iCloud issued @me.com and @icloud.com Names will not work in iChat 5, iChat 4 or earlier.
    Also the "Name" part is essentially know to AIM so you cannot use the email itself to "create" an AIM Name
    The AIM Registration page has also moved
    AIM will accept you registering and email as the AIM name  as the @ is a valid character or a plain Username (No @AIM or AOL suffix needed)
    You can also use Jabber IDs
    GoogleMail accounts can have "Talk" enabled in the account settings and the ID can then be used as a Googletalk ID. 
    Facebook also run a Jabber server and you have to enable "Chat" on your settings there.
    There are also many other Public Jabber servers you could join (mostly registration is though a Jabber specific app than the created ID is used in iChat)
    Summary.
    I have linked you to my website about iChat at the iChat 4 How-to point.
    The broader strokes of Getting a Screen Name are that it is an AIM or AIM Valid Name or Jabber ID that is needed (many people use both)
    However since I wrote that page Apple's MobileMe has come to and end and names are now issued through iCloud.
    Initial iCloud IDs ended @me.com (like MobileMe did) and now tend to be @icloud.com name
    These ARE valid AIM names but will only work in iChat 6 and Messages (Lion and Mountain Lion) due to the way these password checking process works between AIM and Apple.
    This in turn means any iCloud Issued name will not work in iChat 5 or earlier versions.

  • How can we find apple password when it can't send email through and will not accept date of birth given before accessing security questions?

    how can we find an apple id password when email links aren't working and date of birth is shown as incorrect when entered prior to reaching the security questions?

    You are out of luck, then. You cannot track it, Apple cannot help you (btw, this is not Apple here.) You can't set up Find My Phone after the iPad is gone.
    Notify the police. Change all your passwords. Buy a new iPad.
    Perhaps your insurance will cover the loss for you, so speak with your insurance agent.

  • Clone source will not accept a negative value

    Hi,
    I'm using PS CS5 and was trying to create a reflection using the clone stamp tool. However, the height box will not accept a negative value of -100% although the "maintain aspect ratio button" had been turned off. An error message pops up "A value between 1.0% and 400.0% is required. Closest value inserted". I had successfully created a reflection in CS4 previously but it won't work in CS5. Any suggestions, please?

    In cs5 instead of entering negative values, use the
    Flip horizontal and Flip vertical buttons just to the left
    of the width and height.

  • HT202274 Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep i

    Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep it as my primary.

    To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account.  To do this, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Server Monitor Notification will NOT accept an outgoing email address

    Hi folks. I have a new XServer Xeon. Everything is working great, except for one maddening issue: When I use Server Monitor and go to set up notifications, the "send to" field will NOT accept any input at all...whether it's a bonafide email address or just any old text typing. Nada. I can seem to enter all other info like the "from" field, and the buttons work....just can't add any addresses to send notifications to. Any ideas? I'm hoping this is a "duh" moment for me and not a real issue.
    Thanks!

    Daddy
    I have quite a few Xserve's (G4, G5) running Email notification from Server monitor without mail services running.
    It appears to be a problem with the new Intel's version of Server monitor, I cannot get SM to accept any email addresses either, it will also not remember other settings between launches.
    I have submitted a bug report with Appple through ADC on this.
    FYI if you setup lights out management on another IP on Xserve and connect server monitor to that IP from another machine you can add email addresses but when hardware events occur on Xserve no emails are sent!
    So IMHO server monitor V1.5 is broken right now, only good for manually monitoring the hardware.
    If I get an answer from Apple I will post it in this category

  • Firefox will not accept my email address.

    Whenever I am prompted to enter my email address Frefox will not accept it.

    Did you try Firefox's Safe Mode? If it goes away with add-ons disabled, then one of your add-ons is the problem.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
    [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
    Does that fix it?

  • JES Messaging Server 6.0 will not accept mail alternate address

    JES Messaging Server 6.0 will not accept mail alternate address
    I have installed the Sun ONE Messaging server 6.0 as part of an evaluation of the Java Enterprise System. This was installed along with Directory Server 5.2 and Identity Server 6.1. During the installation I created a top level organization (o=internet) knowing that I would want to create multiple email domains within it and a default domain. After the installation was complete I used the User Management Utility (/opt/SUNWcomm/bin/commadmin) to create some users within the default domain. I provided each user with a primary email address ([email protected]) and an alternate email address (mailAleternateAddress = [email protected]).
    In testing the system I find that the Messaging Server will not accept messages sent to the alternate email address whether sent from the same server (via Messenger Express) or from an external server. It returns the error message: 550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias.
    In attempting to trouble shoot this problem I have watched the Directory Server's access log when such an email is sent. It shows a query using [email protected] even though the email message was sent to [email protected] In any event the DS finds the user, but the Messaging server rejects the message.
    [date_time] conn=120 op=11 msgId=12 - SRCH base="o=domain.com,o=internet" scope=2 filter="(mail=[email protected])" attrs="preferredLanguage mail mailEq
    uivalentAddress"
    [date_time] conn=120 op=11 msgId=12 - RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0
    [date_time] conn=120 op=12 msgId=13 - SRCH base="o=internet" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=sunManagedOrganization)(|(associatedDomain=host.domain.com)(sunPreferredDomain=host.domain.com)))" attrs=ALL
    [date_time] conn=120 op=12 msgId=13 - RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=0 etime=0
    Any suggestions to eliminate this problem would be appreciated.

    Both the primary and alternate email addresses are the same as the domain of the user.
    Here is what I want to do. Email is sent to a primary email server (not this machine). Mail for some users stays on that server to be read and mail for other users is moved to a geographically separate server (the one in question) by specifying that the mail be forwarded to the specific host: [email protected] > [email protected]
    On this second server I want to host two (or more) independent email domains. I do not want one of the domains to be a subdomain of the other. So during the installation I used o=internet as the root suffix and then used a different default domain (representing one of the registered internet domains). After installation I used the commadmin tool to create a second domain so now I have what looks something like this:
    o=internet,
    __ou=People
    __ou=Groups
    __o=domain1
    ____ou=People
    ____ou=Groups
    __o=domain2
    ____ou=People
    ____ou=Groups
    I then created some users under domain1 and some under domain2 so one user's dn is:
    uid=user, ou=people, o= domain1.com, o=internet.
    Mail sent locally to user@ domain1.com gets delivered correctly, but sending to [email protected] does not.
    host2.domain1.com is the fully qualified domain name of the server.

  • HELP?  "Tell a Friend" feature will not accept multiple addresses

    Any help would be appreciated.
    I have a list of email addresses that I would like to send a notice about subscribing to my podcast to. When I click on "Tell a friend" and add only 1 address - there is no problems, but when I add multiple addresses (even just 2) it will not work.
    It tells me that I can add multiple addresses by seperating them with a comma, but it will not accept. It keeps saying +"One of the email addresses you entered is not valid. Please enter complete email addresses seperated by commas (for example: [email protected], [email protected])."+
    I know these addresses are correct.
    Anyone know how I can do this or why it won't work for me? I am so frustrated.
    Thanks

    You are so clever! What a great idea. I ended up finding out that you can enter only up to 5 names at a time - BUT YOU CAN NOT HAVE EVEN 1 SPACE BETWEEN NAMES or it will not work. Example: ([email protected],[email protected],[email protected],etc.)
