HT1338 hello! I need help, how come I can't receive new messages on my mail in my Macbook Pro? but I can receive it on my Iphone4s. thanx!

hi there! can somebody please help me. I can't receive new messages in my MacBook Pro, what should I do? I can read them in my IPhone though. Thanx!

Yes I was able to send but not receive - I actually was able to solve it myself
Everything on the menu bar was greyed out - so nothing there helped me @ all
Connection Doctor didn't show anything wrong
activity box was completely blank
shutdown - restart didn't work
I used the help option    - still nothing
All the while my phone was vibrating like crazy with new emails
It was really frustrating & it seemed apple themselves don't have any real solutions to offer
My instincts told me to delete the email completely - so I did
After a few min I added the email account like a new one and it eventually worked - all my new emails were there, I still don't know why it stopped in the 1st place  
Pretty much all the problems I run into I troubleshoot myself and find the solution

  • I can't download new version of adobe reader to my MacBook Pro.  Please help?

    I can't download a newer version of adobe reader to my MacBook Pro.  What can I do? 

    No, sorry, that's not how forums work. We are just ordinary people, not employed by Adobe (and Adobe won't help, because it's free software).
    Step 1. Try to get the file you want on screen. I expect you to see the message "If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document"
    Step 2. Understand you are looking at a page of a file, even though it looks like an error message. It is in a window, right?
    Step 3. Move your mouse towards the bottom of the window. Stop moving the mouse. A little bar should appear with four buttons.
    Step 4. Click the fourth button.
    Step 5. Open FINDER.
    Step 6. Open Downloads from your left bar.
    Step 7. Find the file you just downloaded.
    Step 8. Double click on that file to open it.
    Please do not skip anything, just because you don't understand it. Instead, let us know.
    If these instructions let you down, please let us know (a) on which step, and (b) what actually happens instead of what I said.

  • I want to re-install my Pre-Installed Lion Macbook Pro, but I can't get the Lion OS from App Store with my Apple ID. Please help, thanks!

    Hi, I want to do a clean re-installation of my end 2011 Macbook Pro which comes with pre-installed Lion OS. I go through the installation steps and after App Store verified my Apple ID, it prompted me that I did not purchase the Lion OS. I am very surprise to see this message which my pre-installed Lion Macbook Pro should have it. Please help and advise how can I get the OS? All other bundle softwares were in the purchase record except the Lion OS.

    That was my mistake - sorry - it IS Command-R to boot to the Recovery disk, not Command-D: I either just hit the wrong key or am just now coming awake from my nap.
    Let me see if I can just explain it in a few steps - I don't know of any link (but it would make a good User Tip):
    Create an up-to-the minute back-up of your internal hard drive using an external hard drive and Time Machine.
    Boot to your recovery partion - holding down Command-R on boot.
    Use Disk Utility to erase Macintosh HD - use one GUID partition and format as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Unless you're selling the machine, there's no need to do a secure erase (which can take hours).
    After you erase the disk, re-install Lion from the same Recovery partition.
    After installation is complete, reboot, again holding down the Command-R keys to boot into the Recovery Partition.
    Restore your Time Machine back-up. This could take several hours.
    Reboot after restore and you're back in business.
    That should take care of everything - all you need is an Internet connection.
    Call back if I didn't explain things too well - at least I got the Command-R right this time!

    They are usually intended for mobile devices like iPhones, iPad's (and Kindle's) ... you need the Apple iBook app to read them.
    Google for Stanza or eReader and it should do what you want.

  • How to install operating system on new hard drive without installation disc on macbook pro 2011

    My macbook pro 2011 does not come with a recovery disc or any disc at all, my hard drive recently failed and i have no backup. i have replaced the hard drive but don't know how to install the operating system on the new hard drive.

    If it originally shipped with 10.7 or newer, connect the computer to the Internet and start it up with the Option, Command, and R keys held down. You'll be able to install an OS.
    If it shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier and wasn't upgraded to use Apple's Internet Recovery system, phone AppleCare and order the disks.

  • Bought a book on itunes on my ipad, downloaded it on my macbook pro but I can't open it.  It says "protected book"  How can I read it?

    I bought a book from iTunes on my iPad 2.  I also downloaded it on my MacBook Pro (2011 17" model) .  My book shows up there but I can't open it.  It says "protected book" ?   Any suggestions ?

    As mentioned, Apple only makes their iBook reader app for thier mobile devices.  And iBooks epub files are DRM locked to iBooks, so you cannot open it in anything but Apple's iBook reader on an iOS mobile device.
