Email works but won't push

I've set up my email with Exchange ActiveSync, and when I tap on Mail, it connects and downloads emails; but I can't get it to push them through automatically, like with SMS, in a 'you've got mail' way. i.e. I never have a little red circle with new emails on Mail; but when I check I DO have mail.
I've checked my settings in Fetch New Data, and am set for PUSH, and have back up of Fetch at 15 minute intervals, but it just won't work!
Any bright ideas anyone?
My IT Dept say it's all fine their end, and o2 say it's IT's responsibility...
Thanks for any help you can give!

Thank you but I have and use a MobileMe account and I am aware of the differences between IMAP, POP, and push services that use Exchange, etc.
In my 6+ months experience with my iPhone 3G, I have found Apple's own push service with MobileMe to be extremely flakey/inconsistent in visually displaying new email alerts in the Springboard or audibly notifying based on sound preferences. The same for fetch.
In fact, I sent myself a test message to my .me account as I wrote this message. Two minutes later, I still haven't heard an alert and the count of my new email messages is wrong in the Springboard.
But when I check my email on iPhone it is there.
Sometimes iPhone will have the proper count and give you the audible alert, but I find, especially if you haven't been using the phone, it often doesn't keep up and Apple's push services is not better than the fetch service for POP and IMAP.
What I am suggesting is that BECAUSE the MAIL PUSH service is still a work in progress they haven't rolled out access to push notification for 3rd party developers.
The best way to know if you have new mail on an iPhone is to open the Mail app and manually check each of your accounts.
Email account aggregation would be nice too but that's another discussion

Dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk,

dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk, what can I do?

Well I was able to obtain a work around download of Flash and it installed fine but Firefox tells me it needs updating so I go out, thinking I'm "IN" finally to update it and I get that issue of not being able to get the update for it. It's a regular laptop, not a touch screen or one of those new fangled ones for todays world. In fact it's a refurb so it's probably origin date was a year or so ago before all this MS stuff took off fully. So not understanding why I'm feeling like I'm being BLOCKED from getting the updated Flash I need and desire. If I click on the little "X" and tell it to ignore the warning the vid will play just fine but don't want to have to do that every time. Must be a better way.
Again, I'm sorry for posting in the wrong forum, getting this posted in the Flash forum was my desire but the way Adobe has this set up I just couldn't figure it out. I belong to ALLOT of forums and most are pretty straight forward but this one is confusing!

I can't answer why you are not able to connect to WiFi but I can tell you to try the basic things, turn WiFi off and on again, restart your iPad, reset network settings, reboot your router, forget your WiFi network and try again .....
The issue with the email is probably a password issue. Make sure that your password is entered in the incoming mail server setting and in the outgoing mail server setting as well. The outgoing server setting can be accessed by tapping on the SMTP under the Outgoing Mail Server Setting and then tapping the smtp.comcast.net in the next window under the Primary Server Setting.
The outgoing mail server setting will be in the first window when you tap on the Comcast account in the Mail settings.
Look here for a few different web sites for help with the WiFi.

Printer connected, printer works, but won't print from Mac

I'm helping someone with a printer problem, and I have a mystery on my hands.
The printer is connected (directly), shows up in the printer list, can print a test page, but won't print any document from this computer (it's fine from my laptop).
It's a Mid-2011 Mini, 2.3Ghz, running 10.7.5. The printer is an Epson WF-2540.
This is a USB printer, connected directly to their Mac.
In "Settings", when you select Print/FAX and print a "Test Page" - Success! This is a process that invokes the Epson Driver directly [and bypasses the MAC print queuing mechanism]
When "Printing" from within any application (firefox, TextEdit, winders...)   The job starts to queue, but errors before engaging the printer.
R & R the Epson Drivers, Clear the Printer "stuff" on the Mac, Reinstall drivers from the Epson website, Mac wants to update the "newest" Epson Drivers (kinda' funny when I think about it...).
Still errors.
I attached directly to a USB port on my MacBook Pro. Download drivers, etc.. Works like a champ!
We have deleted the printer from System Prefs, rebooted, and added it back.
We have even gone into Terminal and...
sudo bash
cd /etc/cups/ppd
ls
found EPSON_WF_2540_Series.ppd
cp * /var/tmp/
ls /var/tmp/*.ppd
rm /etc/cups/ppd/*
Still doesn't work.
Anybody have any suggestions?

Hi, it's not clear... did you Rest the Printing system on the Mac?
10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8 instructions...
In System Preferences>Fax & Print, Right click or Control+click on the Printers list Sidebar, choose Reset Printing System.
if you hold option and click the "-" tab it resets the printing system.

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
Any devices that previously appeared in your Printer List and Fax List will need to be added again after resetting the printing system.

Hello @Octothorpe47,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are not recieving the scans that are sent to your email.

Scan to email does have a file size limit. If it is a large document you may have to send it as two.

Instant Alpha is working but won't save

Instant alpha appears to work but then when I save (as a PNG) it comes up as black background and transparency is gone (checked multiple times & uploaded to multiple places). What am I doing wrong here? It has worked in the past for me.

I would try emailing iTunes store customer service:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
I would try switching your Payment Method to "none" and then signing out of your account completely (Store menu > Sign Out). Then, sign back in and go to enter your CC info again. You might want to contact your financial institution to see if they've switched your billing address over in their systems yet. If they goofed something, it might explain why iTunes is rejecting your info.

Email working, but not with BlackBerry

Hi everyone,
I have come across quite a strange problem, after some extensive research I can not find any solution so I have come here to ask if anyone can provide any answers to this.
I have my own email address [own domain] and it is working fine, receiving emails/sending emails and it is working with my desktop etc. apart from my BlackBerry - I enter the BlackBerry Email Setup and enter all the details of the email, and it says
"Email address domain not found. The email address *** cannot be found. Please veryify this..."
I have checked the domain and the DNS Zone/MX Records - all seem to be fine (apparently) as the email works with Outlook and I can access webmail fine...
This all started a week ago, I do not know why!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Qutie honestly, it may work later. I've seen this odd behavior before.
Just try the setup again later. If after 48 hours it doesn't let's look again.

CD-ROM works but won't boot

Hello,
I recently upgraded my beige G3 and installed a new CD-ROM drive. Now when I try to boot from a CD it won't boot. The computer just displays a gray screen. Would anyone have any idea why it won't boot?
I know it boots when it is connected to the j9 IDE connector on the motherboard but when I connect it to the j10 IDE connector it will not boot. Is the j10 connector not recommended?
Here are some details. My G3 beige is a rev 1. The CD-ROM is a 32x-speed drive pulled from an old b&w G3. Previously I have succesfully booted many times with this CD-ROM drive on my G3 beige when it was connected to the j9 IDE connector on the motherboard. But when connecting the CD-ROM to the j10 connector it will not boot.
I read in the G3 beige service manual that when you have only one IDE connector in use (with the other connector not in use), for best results, be sure it is the j9 connector that you use individually and not j10 individually. However that doesn't seem to apply to me because I am using both j9 and j10. (I have the j9 connector connected to a hard drive.)
So my nexrt step in trouble shooting this problem is to try connecting the CD-ROM drive back on the j9 connector. However, I was hoping to be able to use the j10 connector. Is there a way to connect a CD-ROM drive that is bootable to a rev 1. beige G3 using the j10 connector? If I have to use the j9 connector for the CD-ROM drive may I make the CD-ROM drive slave or does it have to be master? Should I put my main hard drive on j10 (instead of j9 as it is now)?
Could these problems all be something completely urelated to the j9, j10 connectors?
PS When you see a completely gray screen what does that mean? This completely gray screen worried me because it did not even display the flashing question mark disk icon typical of a mac that can't find its startup disk. Is this normal?
Thank you for any suggestions.

rainforest,
Starting with the gray screen, give it a little more time to resole startup issues or zap the PRAM for 2 chimes.
Macs were designed to go out and look at all hardware connected to the CPU and report back with details. PCs were never given this feature because Bill Gates said to himself, only smart people will use a computer and they will tell the computer every little thing that it needs to know. Thus, PCs are dumb. They do not look at the floppy drive until instructed, ie. you must tell it that you inserted a floppy disk and now you actually want to look at it. What a thought!
Steve Jobs said, dumb people will use computers so let's make the computer smart. It is that startup review process that gives you the gray screen until it figures out what has changed. Zapping the PRAM is designed to force the CPU to take a fresh look at all devices. If you wait long enough, the review process should finish and give you the smiling face. Some swear by letting the PRAM zap chime three times because once is not always enough.
Everytime you reconfigure your hardware, you create a new startup obstacle.
Is it possible that there is a distinction between j9 and j10? From a purely essoteric design standpoint, yes. From a functional standpoint, no. Both should work and when they do not, you have just discovered an annomily with your motherboard.
I once asked a certified auto mechanic about an electrical problem to see if it was something that was obvious or maybe part of a recall that he could easily spot. He said no. I then asked if he would have to go exploring to find the electrical problem. He said yes. I then asked if the service charge would cost more than the car was worth. He said "absolutely."
Learning what your computer will and will not do is one thing. Fixing it is a whole new adventure.

Iphone 3gs emails send but won't receive

I have an iphone 3gs. The tech guy at work gave me the settings to set my email up on a pop server. It sent my test email but it does not receive any emails. The error on my desktop computer email was:
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
...............com on 1/22/2010 3:55 PM
No route was found for the recipient server. Please contact your system administrator.
The settings are the same for incoming and outgoing mail and I double checked it all. Any ideas?

The likely explanation is that the settings you used for your POP (receiving) server are wrong.
The settings are the same for incoming and outgoing mail and I double checked it all. Any ideas?
The correct settings for the POP server are often different from the SMTP (sending) server.

IPad email working but not iPhone

I have an email account that has no problem sending or recieving emails on my iPad but I started to have problems with the same account sending emails on my iPhone5c. I could still recieve emails on my iPhone but just couldn't send. I decided to delete the account on my iPhone and reset and now I can't get or send on my iPhone. Still no problems on my iPad with the same email account. I've copied everything on my iPhone (down to the server port #) that's on my iPad and it still isn't able to receive or send.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

The error message was "The mail server smtp.fuse.net is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."
Email account provider is Cincinnati Bell Fuse. Yes, the iPhone and iPad are connected to the same WiFi at work and at home and can send and recieve on iPad and but nothing on the iPhone.
It counldn't verify with the port number that I had on my iPad so I chose another and it did verify but still no email.
Thanks Allan

WRE54G V2 connects with network, appears to work, but won't allow devices to pass data through

This is the number one problem I've had with the WRE since I got it several months ago.....
I originally set it up exactly in line with the instructions.....I turned off my WEP to prevent security issues at the start....
My WRE starts up, red lights, then blue lights, then solid blue lights....All appears perfect....
That is, until I attempt to use my PDA (HP 27XX) running Windows Mobile 5.....It just won't connect via the WRE......I have to unplug the WRE, then the PDA will connect, no problem, although with a weak signal......
My laptop running a DLink wireless card will connect via the WRE, so I know it works!.....
I have 3 PDA's....all HP, a 24XX, and 2 27XX models....all 3 won't connect through the WRE.....
My Zune also won't connect via the WRE.....not sure why?....
Any ideas?.....

O.k.....I set it up as instructed.....No Go.....not even the Laptop would connect through it this time around.....
The WRE appears in the "site survey", but nothing will connect to it or through it.....it acts like a VERY EFFECTIVE jammer!.....
I'm surprised the "underground" hasn't discovered just how easy it is to use this as a network jammer.....
Since I've owned mine, I'm guessing it's only worked 10 to 15% of the entire time....and NEVER with a PDA or ZUNE.......
Please don't give up on me though, I really do appreciate and need tips and advice getting this thing to work......

HT5622 I want to use free apps on my Ipad and do NOT wish to submit a credit card to Itunes. My Apple Id works, but won't let me migrate past the credit card phase in itunes. I don't wish to sumbit or use a credit card because I will not make purchases.

I want to use free apps on Ipad 2, but it continually asks me to submit a credit card in Itunes. I do not wish to purchase anything apps or music. I am only interested in free apps. If I were to make purchases, I would use a prepaid card like an itunes card or an app card, but NEVER a credit card. I can't seem to bypass this option of using a credit card and need to. I have another Ipad 4 and have never needed to use my credit card to migrate past itunes to use any apps. How do I get past this credit card request and still use my ipad 2. According to my Ipad 2, if I don't plug in a credit card, I can't even use free apps which is stupid.

You can create an iTune and App Store account without credit card details
1. Sign out of current Apple ID if you are sign-in to one (important)
2. Go to App Store and select a free app
3. Tap INSTALL APP
4. Create New Apple ID
5. Confirm Your Country
6. Agree with Terms and Conditions
7. Fill in your Apple ID and Password (you must create a new Apple ID; don't use your old Apple ID)
8. Create and answer your secret question
9. Select NONE for Payment Method
10. Fill in Billing Address
11. Submit application for new Apple ID
12. Wait for verification email
13. When email arrive, verify your account
14. Start downloading your free apps
