Having problem with gmail smtp outgoing server.  Since going to google 2-step, and entering 16-digit code in gmail account, I can receive mail on my iMac, but cannot send.  I keep getting an error message that Mail "Cannot send message using Gmail (my assigned name) server."  What do I do?

Confirm you did this: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en
You might also try removing all gmail passwords from your keychain in Keychain Access. Then connect again and enter the password code given by Google.

  • TS5376 I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?

    I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?

    Hi, so did I.  It seems to be a huge problem with everyone.  I opened a folder on desktop and called it target.  I copied all my songs into that folder.
    I uninstalled Itunes completely.  Rebooted.  Then I installed a fresh install.
    I then dragged all the songs back to Itunes and it worked.  I hope that helps. 
    I read an article the other day and apple is suppose to come out with some genius fix for this problem, it really seems to be global.
    Good luck,

  • I want to remove an add on becauase I've been having problems with FIrefox locking up since I installed. How the heck does one remove an add-on. I hate to be stupid but I cannot figure out how to uninstall an add on

    I've been having problems with Firefox 4.0 locking up pretty much since I installed it. I did add a few add-ons and all I can think of to do is to remove them. I can't figure out how to get rid of them.

    Well, When I click on Add-ons I don't get a list of add-ons. AN Add-ons tab opens which shows lots of other great add-ons but I can't get a list os ones that I've installed and have no option to remove. I'm on version 4.0. Maybe the "remove" as described is for an earlier version?
    Nevermind, figured it out. Had to click on "Extensions" on the left side of the page to get the list
    Thanks

  • Is there somebody NOT having problems with OS X Server?

    I fell into the trap of Apple marketing and bought XServe with the intent to replace our Windows Server 2003 with OS X Server. The problem with Windows was that its licensing is expensive and you need to keep track of many different licenses for every single thing you want (SQL Server, Exchange and the like). It is also somewhat complicated to manage.
    My first try was with Leopard 10.5. Oh boy, this didn't work out at all. There were so many problems that even after 10.5.2 I considered seriously moving over to 10.4, which I finally did. I admit that I made some mistakes of my own when I installed 10.5. Most notably of course was the DNS setup, which was not quite right. But there are other known issues (ACL not working for example). So I really trained the setup of 10.4 on my MacBook to the point where I got it right. Then I went forward and reinstalled the 10.4 server, moved over the files and user data.
    So, 10.4. It performs much better, less errors, most of the time it works, especially after all the updates. But still it feels very far from the quality of Windows 2003 Server. I hate to say this, but it is true. I am feeling betrayed by Apple, because after using Macs for several years at home and at work (my MacBook), I felt like this is a superior operating system. Not so when I look at the server. Sure, the security holes are there in Windows Server, but they are not so hard to fill and most of the time I could just forget about it. Not so with OS X Server. It is SOOOOO fragile, it almost feels like a china shop. I never know when it will break for no apparent reason. And the things that are so easy to accomplish in Windows (change your IP address or DNS name) are major tasks for OS X administrators and you never know if you will succeed or need to do a full reinstall. So the cost of administration for OS X will quickly become much bigger than the cost of Windows licenses.
    The last problem, still unresolved, is the VPN service. This should be a no-brainer, but no, not in the case of OS X. Starting VPN and connecting to it disrupts OD and Kerberos so that there is no other way but to restart the server.
    So I am kind of wondering if there are ANY users out there who use the server in a primarily Windows/Linux desktop environment so that OS X Server actually works as intended and doesn't need restarting every day? Now I feel very frustrated about all this.

    Hi there, sorry to hear you are having issues with your OS X Server installation.
    I have not used it with Windows Clients yet, although I have to say for our use, i.e. database (mySQL), mail, Adobe Coldfusion Application Server (CF8 Standard) and Web-Server use, it is the most stable and fastest performing machine ever. It smashes our previous DELL server with Windows 2003 Web Edition in every aspect.
    Also, instead of being prompted to install a patch and re-boot about every two weeks, it runs and runs and runs - and if it ever needs to reboot, all sites are up and running within 2 minutes, I kid you not, this is fantastic for us.
    So yes, there are MORE happy users out there!!
    But granted, you find more people asking for help than praising a running system in support forums, that's kinda obvious I suppose
    Good luck fixing your system! Perhaps worth checking for some professional help in the first round of setup in case you were not used to UNIX systems before? There's a lot to learn coming from Windows I feel, but worth it and in the end usually easily fixed, repaired or even re-installed in a fraction of the time it used to take on Windows, let alone it actually works in the end.
    Best regards,
    Jonas

  • Im having problems with my iPhone 5 since installing 7.1.1

    Im having issues with my phone since installing the latest upgrade. Battery life is reduced. Phone is heating up. The notifications screen keeps dropping on and off the screen wothout me touching it. The phone is performing random actions, on off buttons flicking back and forth without me touching the screen.

    First step is to reset:
    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Netflix: am having problems with the iPad on it. Error box pops up and tells me 'safari cannot connect: too many redirects'. Also the iPad freezes on netflix. Advise needed. Thnx.

    Whew, this is driving me nuts. I use the iPad for nearly all my online connection. Dunno why netflix is not working well on it lately; it used to work well enough.

    We have the same problem with download interruptions in our app v32.
    And in addition it seems that every interruption of download leaves some unused data on device. When we try to continue the download, it mostly fails at the same point. But with every attempt the application takes more and more device space. It goes so far that we have three- or fourtimes more device space in use that is the common size of app and downloaded content, although we actually still didn't download the whole content. (We try also download the same folio with Adobe Content Viewer and it does the same.)
    Finally we open the content and force to download remaining articles one by one with moving across the content manually. Articles where download fails we downloaded as last. It wasn't without problems but we have success after many attempts. In the end the device space used by app with content was enormous! When we deleted all content, used space was decreased by the size of folio, but the unused data wasn't removed until the whole application was deleted from iPad. We send it as bug report to Adobe.
    Now we are in very bad situation, because our clients can't download their paid content. (Most of them hasn't so big patience as we had with downloading content.)
    So we hope that dev team figure out soon what is going on or we are finished.

  • HT4623 Im having problems with my music ever since I got the ITunes Match, now I'm not able to listen to some songs and my ipod doesn't want to update the iOS saying something about my network and I'm hooked up to the internet?

    I was just have difficults in different things on my ipod touch 4th gene now that I have ITune Match and it not being able to update the iOS 6.1.5 and as to not sure of what I can do to get it to update and get all my songs back. Because right now I have at least 20 or 30 songs that I cant play now and I'm not sure why. I'm not even able to click on the songs and I wanted to see if there was a way to fix this without restore my ipod and starting over.

    Maybe this:
    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    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.
