Gmail POP will not work after upgrade to Leopard (Mail 3.5)

Hi,
I recently upgraded to Leopard and was previoulsy using Gmail for my POP service, whuch worked fine.
I was a little disappointed that the upgrade disabled by HTTP app that allowed me to access my Hotmail, but no big.
The big deal here is tht I have tried everything listed on Gmail's troubleshooting page for POP accounts and I can't get Mail to connect to the smtp nor pop server. I tried deleting recreting the account, verified settings with what's listed, opening the firewall, testing the telnet connection (nothiing happened, so I guess that's good?).
I sent this issue to Gmail but all I got back was a redirect to the Troubleshooting page and an .exe tool that I can't use.
Anyone else out there that may have this problem or have a clue as to what I could be missing?
I was also loged in to Gmail while setting up account so I know I can access the mail outside of POP.
Thanks for reading!!!

After spending a couple of hours researching this the solution that worked perfectly for me was to delete all plist files.
1. Start with Finder/Macintosh HD/Mail/ look for the plist file there and delete it.
2. Go back to Finder, ctrl click and select Go to Folder
3. paste this: ~/Library/Mail/
4. Find all plist files and delete.
If you feel more comfortable, you may save them someplace as a backup.
After deleting all plist files related to Mail, restart your PC. If you don't it may not work.
Either prior to doing this or after, be sure your settings are correct for gmail.
Once I did this, all of my incoming and outgoing messages loaded properly and everything worked perfectly.
If you need additional assistance feel free to leave a message.

Hey there,
Maybe start here
[Troubleshooting Automatic Software Update in Mac OS X|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1569].
Otherwise, try deleting this file. com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist located at /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that .plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
Have you tried resetting your widgets by hitting Command-R? If that doesn't, work trying trashing the two dashboard preference files.
The two dashboard preference files are in the following directory:

The file names are:

Hope this helps.

My HP LaserJet 1536 Scanner will not work after upgrading to Windows 10

I just upgraded to Windows 10, and now the scanner will not work, although I can still print. I downloaded the latest driver, but this does not seem to help. The error message I get states that scanner communication cannot be established. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

Greetings , I saw your post regarding the problems you are having with scanning after upgrading to windows 10.
I would start with the simple, have you tried just restarting the computer? Have you made sure your computer has all of it's windows updates? How can I tell if my computer is up to date? Most products do have updated software available for Windows 10, did you install the correct driver?HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver I've also seen a few posts that say the Windows 8.1 driver will work for Windows 10 as well, so you could try that too.  HP provides a free tool called HP Print and Scan Doctor to diagnose and resolve printing and scanning problems. I recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor, if it doesn't fix it automatically let me know what errors or messages you receive.  Do you know if you are able to scan using Paint? To Scan from Paint: HP Multifunction Printers - How to Scan: Windows 8
(It's the same for Windows 10, from what I've been told)Right-click the Start button () in the lower left corner of the screen, click Search, and then type ...Click Paint in the results.Click File, and then click From scanner or camera.Select your printer, click OK, and then click Scan.  Have you tried just using the New Scanner app in Windows 10? It's the same as the one for Windows 8. Here are some resources;New Scanner app in Windows 10Scan app for Windows: FAQ
And a Video link...    Please let me know if any of these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help.  I look forward to hearing from you!  Thanks,

Sound input (line-in) not working after upgrade to Leopard

I have upgraded my iMac Intel Core 2 Duo (white plastic frame version) to Leopard on Friday when it released. The upgrade process went very well with one MAJOR exception: Audio input through "Line-in" connection does not work anymore. I have tried everything that comes to mind so far from rebooting, to unplugging and replugging, to checking back all system settings, etc. Nothing works. At this point, I can't use my headset anymore for making calls with Skype or using voice chat in games. I would seriously need some help as I refuse to have paid $129 only to have Apple themselves break something in their products.
For this reason, I have to currently consider Leopard a failure. Reason being, in MS Windows or Linux, there always is a way around to make things work... I can't find anything at all with this release of the OS.

The OP reported their line-in input "broke" after upgrading to Leopard, however my MBP stopped recognising input from the mic on my headset a few weeks ago when I was still running Tiger. This might possibly indicate that the change in OS X's handling of the line-in input was present in a Tiger update, but I can't remember the exact correlation between the dates of my last update and this problem. All the same, I'm pretty annoyed that a headset that worked perfectly for several months is now suddenly unusable without a USB adapter.
Prior to stumbling across this thread, I visited two Apple stores, who both tested with an output from an iPod and told me that the input was working fine, leading me to buy a brand-new headset (even though I'd tested other working headsets without success) which, naturally, produced the same results.
Seems to me that the hardware is fully capable of processing a mic input through the line-in port, as it's never had any problems with any unpowered source until recently, so Apple must surely be able to undo the change they made?

Kodak printer will not work after upgrading to Yosemite.. Please Help

I have uninstalled and re installed my kodak 5250 more than once and it still does not work. I have carried out a clean install of my Yosemite OS and still no joy. How do i fix this?

I've got the 7250 as well -- same exact issue. I sent an e-mail to Kodak support on Friday last week -- haven't heard anything, but they did ask for 2 business days time to respond.
I've been running the Yosemite Beta on one of my machines for a few months now and my printer stopped working on that one after the upgrade. I kept Mavericks on my other Mac until this weekend, and printing still worked from that machine until I upgraded to Yosemite over the weekend.
I've got Linux and Windows virtual machines that can print to the ESP 7250, so I can still print, albeit with the hassle of firing up a VM and printing from there... I sure hope Kodak responds! I offered to help them test any beta-quality drivers they may have, so -- we'll see what they say!
I've been planning to ditch the printer and get a new one, but I'd rather not have to do it right this minute just for a driver issue :-/

Time machine will not work after upgrade

Since I upgraded to Mavericks on Oct. 22, Time Machine will not run properly, or at all for that matter. It tells me that it is 'Preparing Backup', but it was said that for over 4 days now. Suggestions?

I had a strange issue with Time Machine and Mavericks. Time machine wouldn't recognise the external USB drive I was using for backups. There was nothing in the logs, no errors, the time for the backup would come along and then it would skip to the next hour with no backup being done. What I was doing was removing the drive from Time Machine Preferences and re-adding it, TM would then start a manual backup and from that point it would run fine.
I ended up doing a Disc Verify on the drive (all ok, no issues) and shut the machine down. Today I booted up and staright away the TM Icon for the drive is correct and the TM is running as it used to.
I have three macs, all with external USB drives, the other two macs have no issues with TM, only my main one. Having a look at other issues, my external drive is a Western Digital unit so maybe that has something to do with it, though it can see the drive fine from Finder.
Anyway, if you are having similar issues, just run the Disc Verify Utility (and repair if there are errors) and hopefully it'll fix up that particular issue.

Canon S750 printer not working after upgrading to Leopard

Leopard is brilliant, and everything works after I upgraded from Tiger except... my Canon S750 printer gives error messages and fails to print. This is VERY annoying. I can't seem to find an S750 driver for OS X 10.5 on Canon's web site. So, what to do next? Just wait, and keep logging on to Canon's web site in the hope that, one day, the driver will be there? I can't find any official statement from Canon as to what they're up to. Are they currently working on drivers for Leopard? Do they have any projected "release dates"? Are they at all interested, or would they prefer to sell me another printer perhaps? Any information on what I should do now will be gratefully received. Thanks.

UPDATE... my S750 printer has suddenly started to print OK! This is rather bizarre, since I've not re-booted, haven't un-installed/re-installed the printer. End of topic!

Mail not working after upgrade to Leopard

After the guy at the applestore assuring me that mail will not be affected by upgrading, low and behold I now have lost all emails and am unable to send or receive emails.
When I open mail it leaves the interface closed, I need to go to MAIL > NEW VIEWER WINDOW. Ant even then it is blank.
Weirdly I still have all the folders in the left menu, just that they are all empty.
I can't sync to MobileMe or my POP account.
I can't afford to lose all that info, if anyone has an idea I would be mega grateful!!!

just solved the problem...
had to delete in user-library-pref-com.apple.mail.plist
then restart mail

Another User with Mail Not Working After Upgrade to Leopard

I started my own thread because the other person with the same issue was able to resolve his by moving the two files in the Mail library. Well, they don't exist in mine. So I can't move them.
When I try to open mail, I get nothing. I have to manually open a message viewer window. When I do, there are no messages, I can't send or receive. The Connection Doctor shows that I am connected to the internet.
When I try to quit mail, I can't - I have to force quit.
I've tried the suggestions that were here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2537
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2486
but so far no luck.
Ideas?

Create a new user account. Log out of your account and log into the new account. Open Mail and configure it for you mail server. If all is working properly, then you have some serious corruption of something in your normal user account. This may be caused by any number of things such as upgrading a dysfunctional OS X. You might then consider backing up your personal files and data, then erasing the hard drive and installing Leopard from scratch. Or you could try the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Mic not working after upgrading to Leopard

Well I had an external mic on my iMac working fine with Tiger. I buy Leopard and upgrade... and all of a sudden it does not work anymore.
Now I know that iMacs have a line in input and not a mic input, but it worked with Tiger so why should it not work with Leopard?

I don't have solutions per se, but I can confirm the problem and report that AppleCare claimed to be unaware of it as of early this week; I was alleged to be the first to call in. (I'm special, but not that special.)
I went to Level 2 tech support, and during the long wait I thought I had succeeded in getting Mail to work by using my .Mac SMTP for both my .Mac and regular ISP accounts. I relayed that work around and left the call. (The Level 2 techie was stumped as well.) But the solution was short-lived.
To be clear, the problem is intermittent failure (or arguably, intermittent success) using Mail, for no clear reason. Performance of the outgoing mail server is much worse than the incoming mail server. The very fact that it is intermittent makes diagnosis very hard, because many fixes you try seem to work -- until they don't.
First, the problem is on both my MacBook and my iMac and appeared only after installing Leopard. Thus, it is not machine-specific. AppleCare tried to blame my iMac installation for the problem until I demonstrated that it was common to both. Level 1 tech support even suggested that there was something I did wrong on both the Macbook and iMac. Then they blamed my ISP.
Second, I have MS Entourage on both computers but don't use it, so I fired it up and Entourage works fine. So now I have proof that the problem lies in the Mail program or its interface with Leopard.
Third, my lack of success with AppleCare means they have no clue. I'm not pestering them again because it takes a lot of time and they want users to do very burdensome things, like archive and reinstall, just because it's on their checklist.
Not for me. Until Apple fixes this huge, huge bug, I'm just using Entourage for mail.

Mail will not launch after upgrade to Leopard

I just installed the Leopard OS. My previous OS had been Tiger 10.4.10 and had been recently updated. Now, the Mail program will not launch. When I click the Mail icon, the little blue ball under the icon flashes a few times, then stops. A window opens to say that Mail has unexpectedly quit and asks if I want to send a report to Apple. I sent the report, but this of course does not help me to access my e-mail. Any ideas?

Exact same problem, resolved thus just now:
Finder, Search for Mail.app. Open the version 3.0 (Quick Look from Finder/File will help here...) and you'll be prompted to upgrade your mail stuff; from there, you're happy.
My guess is that the Sidebar didn't upgrade correctly. Mine evidently still references v2.1 of Mail.
On to that problem next...

Yet internet in general works fine. This happened after an upgrade, but I can't remember what was updated because I went on a holliday right after the update. I have a kernel oss linkage error at boot, but don't know if this has anything to do with it. Is there any thing I could paste to help solve the matter?

The new module-init-tools 3.8 package changes the location of the configuration file: /etc/modprobe.conf is no longer read, instead /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf is used. Files in /etc/modprobe.d without a .conf suffix will be ignored in the future.
Please adjust your local configuration files after the update.
The way I read this is that I can delete /etc/modprobe.conf and all files/folders in /etc/modprobe.d that does not contain .conf suffix?
Not quite, if you have anything in /etc/modprobe.conf you still want to be read it should be moved into /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf, and anything that's already in modprobe.d/ should get renamed so it's called *.conf

Yahoo mail will not work after upgrading to Firefox 26, WHY?

I can see my email, but I can't open it, delete it, or go to any other folders. I have reinstalled Firefox 3 times, restarted my computer every time, logged out and back into Yahoo. Nothing changes. Why does Firefox continually screw something up every time it upgrades? I just want the previous version back without losing all my saved passwords and bookmarks!
WIN XP SP3

As you've probably noticed, Yahoo! has been making a lot of email changes lately. Users who are using an older bookmark to access Yahoo! mail have reported various glitches. Try accessing your mail using one of these:
* Yahoo home page: https://www.yahoo.com/
* My Yahoo page: https://my.yahoo.com/
* Generic mail redirect: https://mail.yahoo.com/
Make sure to bookmark the new address if it works.
More generally, when you have a problem with one particular site that previously worked fine, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
