Email won't set up on new computer and leopard, did fine with tiger

A friend has a new mac book with leopard. I've tried to help up email through a local ISP (snowcrest.net) and it won't recognize the server.
When adding the same account to a iMac with Tiger, it works fine.
Is there a manual way to change the port when using the "easy add" method?
The incoming mail server is: mail.snowcrest.net
The outgoing is: mail.snowcrest.net.
Should the port be at 25?
Thanks for any help.

Same problem here. I want to create an account for my wife, but when, in Mail, I give in her e-mail address, pop-server and password, it tries to connect to the server - no avail.
I check this in Tiger, and the connection is created without any problem. So please, fix this Leopard bug!

Hello. I have a new Computer and import my mediathek with an externe storage. When opened the new Mediethek in front of every song there is a explanation mark: original song could not been found. I try everything. Whats the Problem??

But it seems the OP has a setup where the media is on the external drive, and the library files are on the internal. This is what I refer to as a split library, Migrating such from one computer to another is not straightforward. Often iTunes will have some definite idea about where the files should live, and updating the setting of the media folder won't change that. If it requires a drive letter change that is usually not too hard, but sometimes there is another preference file that needs tweaking to indicate which of the old & new layouts for the library is being used. In more extreme cases I have a script for automatically making track by track repairs.

I recently got a new computer and it wont sync with my ipod. How can i get my music and stuff on my computer

I recently got a new computer and it wont sync with my ipod. How can i get my music and stuff on my computer?

iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer.

I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized. Help!

I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized.
I have searched high and low and there does not seem to be a way to authorize the iPod Classic. What can I do to sync my purchases to my iPod? I have tried reformatting/restoring it as suggested. It continues to only allow me to sync non-icloud/itunes content.
Help!

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Downloaded itunes to new computer and sync did not keep purchased songs on ipod

I have a new computer and downloaded itunes and when I tried to sync not all my purchases to my ipod transferred to my computer. How can I get these back into my library?

What you should have done was review something like the user tip Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device before syncing with a new computer. Depending on your region you may well be able to download your past iTunes purchases from the store, however you have lost the chance to recover other content. Links in the tip.

How do I transfer my entire music collection to a new computer and sync my iphone with new mac without deleting existing music in iphone?

Hi All,
I will describe my current setup and the required setup below. Please help me with the steps to do this
Current setup:
OS: Windows 7
Total Music collection: 80GB of mp3 , which is NOT added to itunes library (I use foobar)
iTunes Music collection: around 500 songs, synced to my iphone (unchecked "manually manage" that meeans all these songs are in itunes library)
Now the required setup: (Since I am planning to get a macbook pro)
OS: Mac OS (This means the music file path will be different)
Total Music collection: 80GB which is to be added to itunes library
iPhone Music: The same 500 songs as before.
Is this possible? In Mac OS I want my entire 80GB to be added to itunes library, also keeping my existing iphone songs intact.
Any ideas?

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library"). Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.
Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
Consider moving everything from your Windows PC to your Mac in a single move, including your iTunes library: About Windows Migration Assistant - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4796 - Learn about how to use Windows Migration Assistant to migrate your files from a Windows PC to a Mac.
Transferring the library as above will connect your i-device to the same library on the new computer even though it is stored on different hardware. You should not see the "erase & sync" prompt, and syncing will preserve game scores and other data on the device.
As for the 80GB of music in foobar, add that to the iTunes library at some stage by dragging those files to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.

I just added a new computer and it did not download my bookmarks correctly. Folders were not created and no links except for the a"Unsorted Bookmarks" that seems to show most of my bookmarks.

I was able to add the new computer's browser with my sync key, but when I tried to sync, nothing appeared to happen. Unsorted Bookmarks shows a lot of links that are mine, but not all of them. Hard to tell, Unsorted Bookmarks is useless and I wish I could hide or get rid of it.

In case anyone else has this problem. I just went to the computer that has my complete set of bookmarks. Selected Options-Sync-Manage Account-Reset Sync-Replace all other devices with this computer's data and it worked. All bookmarks are now present on my newest machine.

I uninstalled the norton antivirus when setting up my new computer and now it takes forever to start

Can someone help me?
I uninstalled the Norton Antivirus that comes preloaded on a new pc. I use Microsoft Security Essentials instead.
I want to know what could have happened in the uninstall.
Also, I really would like to talk to a tech person.

Hello leannej926, When you first got your new HP system, you would have needed to activate the Norton Anti-Virus program. This would have required you to set up a Symantec account. Symantec would have the product serial number for your copy of the Norton Anti-Virus program.
If the subscription has not expired, you can go to the Symantec web site and initiate a Chat session, and explain what happened and the Symantec Support representative can resolve this issue for you very easily.
Before you reinstall Norton Anti-Virus, you will likely need to uninstall any other Anti-Virus program, since another program may be seen be Norton as a virus itself.
Here is the link to Symantec. Look at the left side of the screen for the Chat Tab.
Please click the White Kudos star on the left, to say thanks.

Setting up a new SSD and HDD on iMac with separate libraries (itunes & aperture)

Hello.
I'm having a major problem with my iMac (July 2010 27" 2.8ghz). I recently operated on this guy and installed a 2TB HDD and a 256GB SSD. I backed up my previous setup using CCC onto a separate external HDD. I installed a "fresh" version of OSX Mountain Lion onto the SSD and used Migration Assitant to transfer my applications and user settings. I then copied over the itunes folder and photos library folder over to the HDD. However, I cannot access the libraries of either using the SSD. I hold option down while opening either Aperture or Itunes and I am not allowed to select either of the libraries. Infact the iTunes one is grayed out and the folder holding the Aperture Library is locked (Red circle with a white dash).
Ultimately what I want to do is have the SSD provide the system and the applications and have my music, videos, and photos on the HDD. I have been reading all sorts of boards but I can't get anything to work. I'll completely start from scratch if needed.
BTW the SSD is so fast on this machine.
Thanks in advance for all of your help.
Matt

The original folders for iTunes and Aperture Photo Library were marked with special Access Control List permissions. CCC picked these up during the duplication process to the HDD. When you put them back on the SSD, you likely used Finder, which either corrupted these settings or omitted them entirely. Now, iTunes and Aperture expect these ACL settings and block you without them.
To fix this issue, you need to reset the ACL on these folders back to factory defaults. Disk Utility cannot help as it works on things outside $HOME.
Reboot, holding down the option key. You will see the SSD, the HDD, and probably two 10.8 recovery partitions. Pick either recovery partition.
Once you are in Recovery, launch the Terminal from the Utility menu.
In Terminal, type resetpassword. This will launch a dialog box that shows both the SSD and HDD drives. Click on the SSD.
At the bottom of the dialog, you will see the reset ACL section. Click to set ACL back to default settings. This is only applied to specific files in your home directory that already have ACL settings. You are not resetting any passwords.
You are done. Exit terminal, and reboot from the Apple menu.
Test iTunes and Aperture on their respective folders.
This should solve your access issues on the SSD.
You can identify files or folders with ACL settings from the terminal with the ls(1) command.
See if the file has an ACL setting
$ ls -al
You are looking for the trailing '+' in the permission field.
Now peek at the specific ACL settings
$ ls -ale
You should use the ditto(1) command for low-level directory structure copies in the future.
$ ditto /Volumes/HDD/Users/homedir/Music /Users/homedir

I just got a new computer, and I keep downloading an obsolute version of Firefox. What do I do?

I'm setting up a new computer, and I'm installing the Firefox browser. I'm at the Mozilla website and have tried downloading the Firefox browser several times. Each times it appears as a very long ago outdated version of this browser. I have uninstalled from my computer and tried again. I don't know what I am doing wrong since I am using the same technique that I used to install every Chrome and every other download I have ever installed on my computer - EVER! What can I do?

The orange Firefox button is there in Firefox 4.0 and newer including the Firefox 9.0.1 you have, if you hide the Menu Bar. Right-click a toolbar and uncheck "Menu Bar".
For the Reload button it could be combined with the Stop button in the right end of the Location (address) bar. With the Customize window open you can place them and other toolbar items wherever you want almost.

HT1386 I need help getting my music to sync from iphone to computer itunes. Got a new computer and everything else will sync but my music from my iphone.

I use my work computer to sync my iphone due to outlook appointments and email. I was given a new computer and got everything transferred ok, except for my music. I need to transfer my music from my iphone to my computer itunes. itunes is only giving me the option to sync from itunes to iphone, which would wipe out all of my music I think. Can someone help with this?

razmee209 is right, but if you can't get your old computer, you can use iExplorer to download your music from your phone to your computer. I've used it for other things and it works.

Old computer and ipod play files but new computer and iphone4 will not! why

Well I just found out I have a problem. About a year or so ago I converted an audio tape to AAC by running a line into my iMac G5 and recording the files. Now on my new mac mini snow leopard server I cannot get the files to play, but when trying to play it on my old iMac G5 there is no problem. I have it set as an audiobook since it's some tapes that go along with a textbook I use for teaching.
If I sync the files on my iPhone 4, they will not play. If I sync them on my old ipod with clickwheel (40GB) they play fine (synced from my new computer), and they play fine on a Windows 7 machine running iTunes. So I cannot figure out what is my problem.
I have tried converting the files a million different ways on the old machine and the new machine without any luck.
Does it have something to do with the new quicktime integration with Snow Leopard?

may have to restore as new http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212

You can run the 10.8.5 combo and 10.8.5 supplemental installers, instead of going through the frequently wonky App Store:
OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo)
