Hi, Some help on setting up my e-mail on Mail ?

I have a [email protected] mail. Is msn@com a IMAP or... ?
And what is its e-mailserver ? SMPT-Server ?
Thanks...

You should contact MSN for that information. These are Apple Discussions, not Microsoft's.

  • Some help needed setting up NAT in 2x Airport network

    I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice on how to get port forwarding to work on my network.
    DSL comes into the house downstairs and from the DSL modem it goes right into an Airport Express. I am on the second floor though, and the Airport's signal isn't strong enough for my G5's antenna to pick up. That's why I have another Airport Express on the first floor, expanding the Airport network.
    The two Airport Express units are in a "WDS".
    I would like to run a home server, so I have to open up port 21 and forward it to my G5, which gets its internet from the 2nd Airport Express unit.
    How do I do this? The Airport's have IP's in the 10.0.0.x range. The G5 is in the 192.168.2.x range because it also connects to a wired router. Do they both have to be in the same range?
    Port Forwarding seems disabled on the Airports because I use WDS. I can check the Distribute IP checkbox in the Network tab, but then I get a warning it shouldn't be enabled with WDS on.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Maarten

    Hi Henry,
    I managed to get it working. I thought port fowarding was greyed out on both Airport units, but it only was on the relay one. Not on the main one. Also, I first accidently forwarded port 21 to the G5's wired IP address instead of its wireless (Airport) IP address.
    The setup is exactly as you described (your 2nd paragraph). The wired router is only there to connect 4 PC's to the G5. They don't need internet (I don't want Windows to have internet), they just need just data transfer with the G5 (MIDI data and VNC control). It's on a different IP range than the Airport network.
    One issue I am still experiencing is that when Airport is turned on on the G5, the router network (the 4 PC's) don't appear in Finder > Network. When I turn off Airport, the router network appears within a second. So there is a file sharing conflict or something there.
    Thanks for your help,
    Maarten

  • Need some help with setting up paypal cart

    working on a site and we are usin paypal for the payment
    process...
    the site is setup to allow multiple selections of items and
    options per
    item..
    If we use the Add to cart option i have to issue a button for
    each item /
    option so that the costs are correct once its time to
    checkout.
    If we use the Cart upload method, i can send the details up
    to paypal, but
    the transaction has to be completed then and they cannot
    continue shopping
    if there are more items they want to purchase..
    can anyone offer any suggestions.. maybe some good sites on
    how to gather
    all item selections thru-out the site so once they are done
    they can be
    taken to a confirmation page that has everything listed and
    if correct they
    can complete at once... or is there a way to post items to
    paypal based on
    item selections.. in other words...
    I select item #1 and option #1 for that item
    on the same page i select another option for that item..
    So when i click on the add to cart i want the shopping cart
    to have the
    following show up on the cart
    #1 Item big picture $25.00
    #1 - Nice frame $15.00
    #2 - Glass cover $5.00
    So i would like to be able to submit 3 seperate items to
    paypal with 1
    button... currently each button is configured per item..
    I can add option fields to the submission, but those do not
    have prices
    associated with them, so the nice frame and glass cover just
    show up as
    options and no cost so the customer will not be charged.
    any help would be great.

  • Help with setting up a basic mail server for Notes sync

    Hello,
    I have managed to setup a CalDAV and CardDAV server for local syncing of my iOS devices with Mavericks via Mavericks Server.
    I wish to also sync notes.
    I understand a mail server is required and I have been trying to set one up solely for notes sync.
    After turning on the mail server I can sync notes to the server on my Mac but I cant figure out how to do it on the iOS devices.
    Is it possible to setup a local mail server?
    Can someone provide me with a basic guide?
    Thanks

    Thanks for reply Simon.
    I havent been able to find a guide so I have been guessing trying to setup the email server. Basically ive tried to setup a user email [email protected] (syncuser is also the account I use to sync my calendar and contacts)
    I have turned on the mail server, made a new account on my Mac in mail:
    Description: OS X Server
    Email Address: [email protected]
    Full Name: syncuser
    Incoming Mail Server: myserver.local
    User Name: syncuser
    In the user account  I have added the email address.
    Im guesing I have to make the mail account somewhere in the server settings but I cant find anything. If turn off SSL in the mail settings I at least get a response from the server:
    Unable to Connect
    There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “OS X Server” or try again.
    The server returned the error: The connection to the server “myserver.local” on port 143 failed (error 49: Can't assign requested address)

  • I need help to set font size in mail os x 10.9?

    Just upgraded to os x 10.9 and mail messages display at a very small font and can not be expanded by spreading fingers on screen as was the method prior to upgrade. Have thus far not found a way to change the default size. Would appreciate any help.

    No computer that runs Mac OS X 10.9 can change the size of things on screen by touching the screen -- the screens are not touch sensitive.
    Those settings are in Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors

  • Help on setting up 5.1 speaker system

    Hi there, I have very recently changed over from a windows PC to a Mac (I bought it last week)
    and i was hoping for some help on setting up a proposed 5.1 speaker system. I am looking to buy the Logitech z5500 system and I was wondering if I need any other hardware in order for it to operate without any problems.. maybe things like extra sound card? i understand that there is a digital out slot - what type of cabling would i need in order to connect it up this way?
    any help would be very well received.
    thanks for any time in advance!

    as mentioned above, All that you need is a optical cable (a toslink) and that will provide you with the 5.1 sound output. BUT and this is important, the Game or Movie must support 5.1 for you to get 5.1 sound (not a lot of Mac games have 5.1 output) also you will need to ensure that you setup the right settings on your sound Preference panel. You dont need any additional boxes or cables as long as your 5.1 speaker system accepts 5.1 audio via digital toslink (eg optical cable). the z5500 is suitable and will give you 5.1 sound if used with a game or movie that has 5.1 sound output.
    Good luck and enjoy the sound

  • Getting help for setting up a "good" network

    Hi all,
    I've been "managing" our network and doing the IT stuff even though I'm not a "true" IT guy, just a graphic artist dabbling in the stuff. I want to get some help on moving our multiple public IP address network to a more secure single Public IP address. I don't know where I can get that help so I'm taking my chances here even though this is not specific to Apple server.
    Here's the equipment we have:
    Apple Extreme dual band
    Apple Server 10.6.3 for file services, iCal, iChat, DNS, Open directory, Address book, Web.
    FTP server using CrushFTP on a Mac Pro running 10.6.3
    Two ADSL modem from same ISP, one 16 Mbps the other 10 Mbps
    a Peplink Balance 310 for load balancing the traffic (and it's not working as advertised as far as I could configure it.
    30 static IP addresses hooked to the 16Mbps modem/router
    a gigabit switch ASANTE Intracore IC36240
    a 100 mbs switch ASANTE intracore 3524
    I'd also like to be able to log into any machine remotely with ARD. Right now, it's a peace of cake with everyone having it's own public IP address, but how will I make this work with DHCP? I'd also like to be able to have VPN enabled.
    I have no idea how to make the best of this equipment so if you have any insight or know where I can get some help to set that up, that'd be great!

    There are as many 'good' networks as there are network requirements and hardware combinations.
    Get a server-grade firewall, if that peplink router can't provide that function.
    Figure out what's up with the peplink router.
    If the peplink isn't working and if it doesn't have firewall capabilities (I've not read the specs), I'd replace it with a firewall with dual uplinks.
    Once you get DHCP going, you'll have two IP subnets, and you'll have to set up subnet routing for your gear. Other than that (and with that external server-grade firewall), the remote connections are straightforward.
    The server-grade firewall should have VPN end-point servers for pptp and l2tp, and probably ssl, and probably a DMZ. RADIUS support, likely. For this case, dual uplinks and support for running both.
    Stay out of 192.168.0.0/16 for your private stuff.
    I'd likely set up the public static IP for the router, the DMZ, and key stuff that needs to be public facing. I might well run the rest of the stuff in a private IP block.
    None of which involves Mac OS X.

  • Some help needed getting file path

    I had some help earlier attaching a file to mail via a dialog. That worked great.
    Now I am trying to get a particular file to attach.
    The following works but if i try to dynamically define the path ie comment out line 1 and bring into the script lines 2 and 3 it only adds the folder (line one). Any ideas?
    tell application "Finder" to set the_files to {alias "Alberti work:WSC projects:WSC Blue Haven 440b:Construction:Progress Certificates:440b_progress certificate_8.pdf"} --------------line 1
    --set the_path to "Alberti work:WSC projects:WSC Blue Haven 440b:Construction:Progress Certificates:" as alias ---------line 2
    --set attach_file to "440b_progress certificate_8.pdf" -------line 3
    tell application "Finder" to set the_files to the_path & attach_file
    tell application "Mail" to tell (make new outgoing message) to set visible to true
    tell application "Mail"
    tell front outgoing message
    repeat with a_file in the_files
    make new attachment with properties {file name:a_file} at after the last paragraph
    end repeat
    set visible to true
    end tell
    end tell

    Your problem is in the line:
    <pre class=command>tell application "Finder" to set the_files to the_path & attach_file</pre>
    where the_path is an alias and attach_file is a string representing the file name.
    When you use the concatenate operator ( & ) with two different object classes (in this case an alias and a string), you get a list as the result, so after this line runs the_files equates to a list containing two items:
    <pre class=command>{alias "Alberti work:WSC projects:WSC Blue Haven 440b:Construction:Progress Certificates:", "440b_progress certificate_8.pdf"}</pre>
    There's no way that Mail.app can translate that into something that can be attached to an email message.
    Instead, what you want to do is NOT define the_path as an alias, leave it as a string. Now the above line would result in one long string of the form:
    <pre class=command>"Alberti work:WSC projects:WSC Blue Haven 440b:Construction:Progress Certificates:440b_progress certificate_8.pdf"</pre> 
    which can easily be coerced to an alias suitable for Mail.app:
    <pre class=command>set the_path to "Alberti work:WSC projects:WSC Blue Haven 440b:Construction:Progress Certificates:"
    set attach_file to "440b_progress certificate_8.pdf"
     tell application "Finder" to set the_files to alias (the_path & attach_file)</pre>

  • We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help

    Greetings all -
    We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help.
    If, for example, I execute the query "select (all) from dba_objects", trace output reports 90% of the elapsed time spent under "SQLNet message from client".
    Here are OS details for the clients: Solaris 10 5/08 s10s_u5wos_10 SPARC
    Running "uname -a" from the client gives:
    (SunOS bmc-ste-app 5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220)
    Here are OS details for the dataserver: Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2
    Running "uname -a" from the dataserver gives:
    (2.6.18-92.1.6.0.2.el5 #1 SMP Thu Jun 26 17:44:55 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
    The RDBMS is 10.2.0.4
    Again, please note, there is no application in the picture here. We are just running a simple catalog query (select * from dba_objects) from sqlplus. Why the wait on something like this? The wait also occurs when a different query is used (select (all) from SYS.COL$ where rownum < 50000). And it doesn't matter if I used the full client or the instant client. I still get the same high-wait.
    We had thought - maybe this is a network thing - so we put a test client on the same subnet as the dataserver. This helped - but not enough. The wait is still way too high even with firewalls taken out of the equation.
    We've also looked at arraysize, SDU, kernel settings. And we've spent time going over tkprof, truss and sqlnet-tracing.
    Has anyone ever had to solve this HIGH WAIT ON CLIENT issue? Is there a work around or some tweak I'm missing.
    Is anyone configured like we are (linux dataserver, solaris clients)? If so - did you see anything like this?

    Hello,
    We have the exact same issue. Did you ever solve this issue? We have a t5220 and have just upgraded our 11.5.10.2 11i system on it from 9.2.0.8 32-bit sparc to 11.2.0.1 64-bit sparc. Things should be faster but arent, and our consultant has tracked it down to high wait times when the apps tier using forms connects to the database tier on the same box. So even though the t5220 is both server and client, there is something about the client sql connection.through TNS that his having trouble. Thanks for any information. We've also created an S/R with Oracle.
    Note: I am well aware of the other issues with the CMT server series but this particular issue seems independent of the regular / known issues and remains a mystery to us. Other known issues with the CMT servers for SPARC:

    Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

  • I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac Pro

    I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac pro (early 2009).
    These questions might seem stupid to many of you, but, as my last, in fact my one and only, computer before the Mac Pro was a IICX/4/80 running System 7.5, I am a complete novice regarding this particular matter.
    A few days ago I installed a WD3000HLFS VelociRaptor 300GB in bay 1, and moved the original 640GB HD to bay 2. I now have 2 bootable internal drives, and currently I am using the VR300 as my startup disk. Instead of cloning from the original drive, I have reinstalled the Mac OS, and all my applications & software onto the VR300. Everything is backed up onto a WD SE II 2TB external drive, using Time Machine. The original 640GB has an eDrive partition, which was created some time ago using TechTool Pro 5.
    The system will be used primarily for photo editing, digital imaging, and to produce colour prints up to A2 size. Some of the image files, from scanned imports of film negatives & transparencies, will be 40MB or larger. Next year I hope to buy a high resolution full frame digital SLR, which will also generate large files.
    Currently I am using Apple's bundled iPhoto, Aperture 2, Photoshop Elements 8, Silverfast Ai, ColorMunki Photo, EZcolor and other applications/software. I will also be using Photoshop CS5, when it becomes available, and I will probably change over to Lightroom 3, which is currently in Beta, because I have had problems with Aperture, which, until recent upgrades (HD, RAM & graphics card) to my system, would not even load images for print. All I had was a blank preview page, and a constant, frozen "loading" message - the symbol underneath remained static, instead of revolving!
    It is now possible to print images from within Aperture 2, but I am not happy with the colour fidelity, whereas it is possible to produce excellent, natural colour prints using its "minnow" sibling, iPhoto!
    My intention is to buy another 3 VR300s to form a 4 drive Raid 0 array for optimum performance, and to store the original 640GB drive as an emergency bootable back-up. I would have ordered the additional VR300s already, but for the fact that there appears to have been a run on them, and currently they are out of stock at all, but the more expensive, UK resellers.
    I should be most grateful to receive advice regarding the following questions:
    QUESTION 1:
    I have had a look at the RAID setting up facility in Disk Utility and it states: "To create a RAID set, drag disks or partitions into the list below".
    If I install another 3 VR300s, can I drag all 4 of them into the "list below" box, without any risk of losing everything I have already installed on the existing VR300?
    Or would I have to reinstall the OS, applications and software again?
    I mention this, because one of the applications, Personal accountz, has a label on its CD wallet stating that the Licence Key can only be used once, and I have already used it when I installed it on the existing VR300.
    QUESTION 2:
    I understand that the failure of just one drive will result in all the data in a Raid 0 array being lost.
    Does this mean that I would not be able to boot up from the 4 drive array in that scenario?
    Even so, it would be worth the risk to gain the optimum performance provide by Raid 0 over the other RAID setup options, and, in addition to the SE II, I will probably back up all my image files onto a portable drive as an additional precaution.
    QUESTION 3:
    Is it possible to create an eDrive partition, using TechTool Pro 5, on the VR300 in bay !?
    Or would this not be of any use anyway, in the event of a single drive failure?
    QUESTION 4:
    Would there be a significant increase in performance using a 4 x VR300 drive RAID 0 array, compared to only 2 or 3 drives?
    QUESTION 5:
    If I used a 3 x VR300 RAID 0 array, and installed either a cloned VR300 or the original 640GB HD in bay 4, and I left the Startup Disk in System Preferences unlocked, would the system boot up automatically from the 4th. drive in the event of a single drive failure in the 3 drive RAID 0 array which had been selected for startup?
    Apologies if these seem stupid questions, but I am trying to determine the best option without foregoing optimum performance.

    Well said.
    Steps to set up RAID
    Setting up a RAID array in Mac OS X is part of the installation process. This procedure assumes that you have already installed Mac OS 10.1 and the hard drive subsystem (two hard drives and a PCI controller card, for example) that RAID will be implemented on. Follow these steps:
    1. Open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities).
    2. When the disks appear in the pane on the left, select the disks you wish to be in the array and drag them to the disk panel.
    3. Choose Stripe or Mirror from the RAID Scheme pop-up menu.
    4. Name the RAID set.
    5. Choose a volume format. The size of the array will be automatically determined based on what you selected.
    6. Click Create.
    Recovering from a hard drive failure on a mirrored array
    1. Open Disk Utility in (/Applications/Utilities).
    2. Click the RAID tab. If an issue has occurred, a dialog box will appear that describes it.
    3. If an issue with the disk is indicated, click Rebuild.
    4. If Rebuild does not work, shut down the computer and replace the damaged hard disk.
    5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
    6. Drag the icon of the new disk on top of that of the removed disk.
    7. Click Rebuild.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2559
    Drive A + B = VOLUME ONE
    Drive C + D = VOLUME TWO
    What you put on those volumes is of course up to you and easy to do.
    A system really only needs to be backed up "as needed" like before you add or update or install anything.
    /Users can be backed up hourly, daily, weekly schedule
    Media files as needed.
    Things that hurt performance:
    Page outs
    Spotlight - disable this for boot drive and 'scratch'
    SCRATCH: Temporary space; erased between projects and steps.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StandardRAIDlevels
    (normally I'd link to Wikipedia but I can't load right now)
    Disk drives are the slowest component, so tackling that has always made sense. Easy way to make a difference. More RAM only if it will be of value and used. Same with more/faster processors, or graphic card.

  • Hello everyone, hoping for some help with my new Apple Cinema Display 20"

    Hi everyone, I bought an Apple Cinema Display 20 inch LCD monitor, just about 3 weeks ago. I have two issues I am hoping to get some help with.
    1) I am using the screen on a PC with Windows XP, and I was very disappointed at the lack of PC support. I have no on screen display (OSD), so I can't see what percentage I have my brightness set to, and I can't alter the colour or contrast of the display, etc. Luckily it defaulted to very good settings, but I would really like to be able to use the (fan made?) program called "WinACD". If I would be best asking somewhere else, please direct me there. If not, my problem is that I installed it added the "Controls" tab, but it just says, Virtual Control Panel "None Present". I have tried googling for an answer, and I have seen many suggestions, but none of them worked. I installed the WinACD driver without my USB lead plugged in, and someone said that was important. So I have tried uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling it again with the USB plugged in, and a device plugged in to my monitor to be sure. It didn't seem to help. I have actually done this process a few times, just to be sure. So I would really like to get that working if possible.
    2) I am disappointed at the uniformity of the colour on the display. I have seen other people mention this (again, after a google search), and that someone seemed to think it is just an issue we have to deal with, with this generation of LCD monitors. Before I bought this screen, I had an NEC (20wgx2), and it had a very similar issue. Most of the time, you cannot see any problem at all, but if you display an entire screen with a dark (none prime) colour, like a dark blue green colour, you can see areas where it is slightly darker than others. It was more defined on the NEC screen, and that is why I returned it. I now bought this Apple Cinema Display, because it was the only good alternative to the NEC. (It has an 8bit S-IPS / AS-IPS panel, which was important to me). But the problem exists in this screen too. It isn't as bad thankfully, but it still exists... I have actually tried a third monitor just to be sure, and the problem existed very slightly in that one, so I think I am probably quite sensitive in that I can detect it.
    It is most noticable to me, because I do everything on this PC. I work, I watch films, and I play games. 99% of the time, I cannot see this problem. But in some games (especially one)... the problem is quite noticeable. When you pan the view around, my eyes are drawn to the slight areas on my screen which are darker, and it ruins my enjoyment. To confirm it wasn't just the game, like I said, I can use a program to make the entire screen display one solid colour, and if you pick the right type of colour (anything that isn't a bright primary colour), I can see the problem - albeit fairly faintly.
    I am pretty positive that it is not my graphics card or any other component of my PC, by the way, because everything is brand new and working perfectly, and the graphics card specifically, I have upgraded and yet the problem remains - even on the new card. Also, the areas that are darker, are different on this screen than on the other screens I have used.
    So basically, I would like to register my disappointment at the lack of perfect uniformity on a screen which cost me £400 (over double what most 20 inch LCD screens cost), and I would like to know if anybody could possibly suggest a way to fix it?
    It is upsetting, becuase although this problem exists on other screens too, this is, as far as I know, the most expensive 20" LCD monitor available today, and uses the best technology available too.
    p.s. If anyone would like to use the program that lets you set your entire PC screen a specific colour, it is called "Dead Pixel Buddy", and it is a free piece of software, made by somebody to check for dead pixels. But I found it useful for other things too, including looking at how uniform the colour of the screen is. That's not to say I was specifically looking for this problem by the way... the problem cought my eye.
    Thanks in advance!

    I've been talking about this on another forum too, and I made some pictures in photoshop to describe the problem. Here is what I posted on the other forum:
    Yes, "brightness uniformity" definitely seems to be the best description of my issue.
    Basically it just seems like there are very faint lines down the screen, that are slightly darker than the other areas on the screen. They aren't defined lines, and they aren't in a pattern. It's just slight areas that are darker, and the areas seem like narrow bands/lines. Usually you can't see it, but in some cases, it is quite noticeable. It is mainly when I'm playing a game. The slightly darker areas are not visible, and then when the image moves (because I am turning in a car, or turning a plane, or turning in a shooter etc.) the image moves, but these slightly darker areas stay still, and that makes them really stand out.
    As for how it looks, I tried to make an example in photoshop:

    Then imagine turning the car around a bend, and then it looks like this:

    It's those lines in the clouds. If you can tab between the two images, you can see the difference easily. Imagine seeing those lines appear, every single time you move in a game. (I haven't tested this in movies yet, but I am assuming it's the same).
    It isn't very clear on a static image. But when the image moves, the darker areas stay in the same place and it draws your eyes towards them. It isn't terrible, but it is annoying, especially consider how much this screen cost.
