Error message says that cannot connect to server. .
Using imap. Checkedsettings correct. Started after trying to re-establish gmail on mobile phone, I think. Not receiving or sending emails. Can pick up all of the emails on google website just nothing via Thunderbird.
''re: Started after trying to re-establish gmail on mobile phone''
Did you have to set up a two part verification to see gmail emails on the phone?
This is gmail trying to set up a more secure system for those who use phones to access emails etc.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Gmail
'''Two step verification'''
''The Google Account help advocates using two step authentication. That sends a code (a minimum of once a month but ideally every time you log in) to your cell phone that you need to enter when logging in using a browser. ''
''However applications such as email clients can't do that. If you configure two step verification you need to create an 'application specific password' for Thunderbird that you use instead of the normal password. The application specific password doesn't change when a new code is sent to your cell phone.''
''Two step verification is not needed, and not recommended. Use a strong password, and don't use the same password with other email providers/web sites, instead. However, if you have another email account it is a good idea to set a recovery email address in case you ever forget/lose your password. ''
So although it is not absolutely required, if you have set up a 2step verification, then you will need to use your application specific password in your gmail account in Thunderbird to access IMAP.
Info on application specific password:
* https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en&topic=1056283&ctx=topic
Remove old stored password, restart Thunderbird and enter the 'application specific password' at the prompt.
'''How to remove old stored password:'''
* Tools > Options > Security > passworda tab
* click on 'Saved passwords'
* click on 'Show passwords'
* Select both mailbox and smtp mail account passwords.
* click on 'Remove'
* click on 'Close'
* Click on 'OK'
Close thunderbird and wait a few moments for background processes to complete. Then restart Thunderbird.

Hi, I recently updated to iOS 8.0 on my Ipad mini however when i try to agree to the new terms and conditions i get an error message saying either 'Cannot connect to server' or 'Your session has timed out please try again' what can be done to resolve this problem? Also i cannot download anything from the App store as a result of this.
Can you check the Object Security for the Analysis Menu and Export button and see if it is restricted?
Also, is this a Oracle DB? IF so, has the following 32 bit Oracle Client components been isntalled:

One thing I notice is that the _mmServerScripts folder does not show up in my Local Files folder - even after refreshing. (The underscore must hide this folder?)When I change the drop-down from Local View to Testing Server I don't see the _mmServerScripts folder, and all folders are red.
The underscore at the beginning of the folder name hides it in the Files panel, although you can turn on the option to display hidden files by accessing the panel options menu.
The folder icons in the Files panel are colour coded: green is for local files, red represents the testing server (or Subversion repository, if defined), and yellow (Windows) or blue (Mac) represents your remote server.
As Randy says, check the Web URL in your testing server definition. It should be http://localhost/check_php/. -

so i restored my phone and updated to ios 6, but now my itunes isnt recognizing my phone, and all of my contacts/pictures/messages etc are gone. please help. i'm having so many problems with this update, and i've never had a problem with an apple product yet.
Is your iPhone turned on or off? Are you still able to use it? If yes, sync everything to your iCloud so everything is saved. The following steps/suggestion will delete all your data so it is important to sync everything to your iCloud or iTunes:
Again, WARNING: This will restore the iPhone to factory setting.
Connect your iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes, turn your iPhone off (hold down power button), hold down power button (on top) while holding the home button (middle button/the only button on the iPhone) for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, release ONLY the power button (on top) while continuing to hold down the home button (middle button/the only button on the iPhone) until a message appears in iTunes.
Then you can try updating yout iPhone again..
I hope this helps! Good luck. -

I am trying to restore an older iPod Touch, but do not have the passcode. I am getting an error message saying that I need to free up some space, but I cannot because I don't have the passcode and have never synced this device to my account. Help..
If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation -
hi I recently dropped my ipod touch and now it wont connect to itunes. Everytime i plug it in, i get an error message saying that the usb device is not recognized
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When I download photos from a flash drive,everything is fine and they show in Events and Pictures, but when I click on the individual pic I get an error message saying that it cannot locate the JPG. Any thoughts?
It sounds like your iPhoto Advanced preferences are set to not copy photos during import, i.e. a Referenced library:
Check your Advanced preferences to see if that's the case. If it is the best solution would be to select the checkbox to copy the photos and reimport the photos from the flash drive. Then check the new import. It it was OK you can delete the previous event with the "missing" photos.

I perviously transfered all my iTunes music to an external hard drive. But now when I connect the external hard drive and try to play a song, I get an error message saying that I need to "locate" my music. I don't how to find it on my external hard drive. Please help for I am not that computer savy and don't want to mess anything up.
Thanks!I called Apple Support and they walked me through it. They told me to basically copy and paste my music to the external hard drive. (I think.) Or maybe it was they had me transfer a folder to the EHD. I don't exactally remember it was a few years back. But I tried to plug in the EHD before starting and...nothing. Still says same thing, "locate file."

i am having problems with Olympus .orf which cannot be read by Elements 10 and Lightroom 4. Both provide an error message saying that the file is not recognized. Any ideas? minzen
That camera model is too new for your programs. Every camera has its own raw format and ACR must be updated to include the info for each new model as it comes out. The workaround would be to download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert your ORFs to DNGs that your version of Camera Raw can read.
