HT204075 What has gone wrong with Apple Mail???

Mail is probably the most used application.
Apple Mail used to be superb.  Now it randomly stops working saying my log in details are incorrect.  Then it may start working again a day later without any changes.  This never happened before Yosemite.
What is wrong?  Is it a problem with Apple OS or iOS?  Is it a problem with my mail service provider? 
It has reached the point where I have had to revert to collecting mail via Internet explorer on my old Microsoft Windows laptop rather than my iMac.   

Thank you ...
I have full internet connection. My iPads still work although the accuracy of the interpreted dictation is very questionable.
There is no response to any dictation added, say to pages without enhanced being selected : Here below is this sentence dictated without enhanced
...(see nothing!)
here is the sentence with enhanced selected
There is no response to any dictation and say to pages with at heart being some active???
Typed > Theory Of Constraints
Dictated > Theory of concert
Earlier I have been showing people (all around the world) how effective this system - now it's just not worth using, (this example above is actually better than it was earlier today).

  • What has gone wrong with apple dictation it is now useless, virtually every word is wrong

    A short time ago dictation was brilliant  - apple dictation was able to interpret dictation for long passages, for books, speeches and presentations, now it is almost totally unable to pull any correct words. I have checked my mac set up it has the correct language "British" and tried turning off enhanced mode - but without enhanced it is just mute, it does no dictation at all - in enhanced mode it is no good at all.
    I have been unable to update to Yosemite and thus unable to update to newest version of pages, but the problem is not limited to pages any text app is just the same.
    I would appreciate any suggestions as apple dictation has been a very useful tool over the past 6 months.

  • What has gone wrong with the equalizer on the latest update, every single one is all distorted

    what has gone wrong with the equalizer on the latest update, every single one is all distorted

    I had a similar-sounding problem with version 11.1.2.31 x64.  Every song I played sounded as if the speakers were being over-driven.  
    This problem was fixed after I installed the new verion: 11.1.2.32 x64.  I am using Windows 7, too.

  • What has gone wrong with Norton

    I have recently found problems with Norton Internet Security for Mac running 10.9.3.
    Automatic protection had switched off and I was unable to reload the scan engine as suggested.
    Thinking that there might be a new version of Norton I purchased and found that I had just bought what I already had.
    This time I am sending constant error messages to apple
    Dyld Error Message:
    “ can't resolve symbol __ZN6SymIPS26IntrusionPreventionCluster4copyEPN6SymSS213ZssConnectionE in /Applications/Symantec Solutions/Norton Internet Security.app/Contents/MacOS/Norton Internet Security because dependent dylib #19 could not be loaded”
    This all happened after the recent upgrade of OS.
    Any ideas

    I'll chime in and agree with everyone else that Norton needs to be removed. I have actually run some tests of many anti-virus apps on the Mac, and Norton's detection rates of Mac malware are just so-so. Not that great, but not so bad that I would call it fraudulent or anything. Of course, it sounds like you're really not concerned about detection of Mac malware, so that's probably not your main concern.
    However, everytime I have tested Norton, I have had problems. The test system always runs like a dog with Norton installed, to a degree that far exceeds anything I saw from any other anti-virus software I tested, and even crashed once so badly that the test system would not longer start up. I didn't do any official benchmark or stability tests, but my informal observations support the prevailing opinions that Norton is poison on a Mac.
    For your purposes, you really don't need something as intrusive as Norton anyway. You just need to be able to scan files that have been sent to you before passing them on to someone else. ClamXav is a good option, and if you download from the developer's site rather than the App Store, it can be configured to watch specific folders. (You really don't need to be watching your entire hard drive or running constant scans of the whole thing.) Another option would be BitDefender from the App Store. BitDefender is another that is just so-so with Mac malware, but it is supposedly very good with Windows malware. (I have no personal experience with that.) BitDefender could be used to scan files manually before re-sending them.
    One last note: if your anti-virus software detects an infected file, do not delete it! Doing so could be damaging, especially if the file is part of an e-mail message, in which case deleting it the wrong way could corrupt your mailbox. In addition, deleting it eliminates all possibility of learning more about the threat. Could it affect your Mac? Might it have already done so? Can the file be cleaned? How freaked out should the person who sent it to you be? Might it be a false positive? These kinds of questions become very difficult to answer if you reflexively delete the file. Remember, having a malicious file on your hard drive or attached to e-mail does not equal infection... it can sit there just fine, in perfect safety, as long as you don't open it. (I should know, I've got hundreds of malware samples on my machine, and I'm definitely not infected.)

  • What has gone wrong with BT Broadband?

    Hi,
    I have been with BT broadband for ages, never had any problems, and always recommended them to people. I have a home hub which I have always used with my PC and also wirelessly with an ipad.
    As I say speeds have always been fine, at all times of day. Videos always plasyed, even at night, i use it to watch things like football matches on sky go, bbc iplayer, 4od etc etc.
    For about a week or so, it was over easter that i noticed it, (I was hoping that it was just a problem that occured that weeked), my broadband started getting really slow. This was at all times of day. More recently it has progressed to just at night. After about half six/seven pm, my broadband becomes unusable. Vidoes wont play, things that usually take seconds todownload on my PC take 5 or 6 minutes. Its worst than when i was on dial up.
    My question is, has something happened that BT are aware of and are trying to fix, or are these new speeds what I can expect now?
    Ive noticed on what usually is a very quiet forum, lots of people have been registering recently and posting very similar complaints.
    Will this sort itself out, is there anything I can do? I dont see how any of the settings can have changed. Ive not touched anything, not moved anything, not changed anything. Ive always been very happy with the service up until now.

  • Something has gone wrong with my version of pages since I did an update on 18th January

    Something has gone wrong with my version of pages since I did an update on 18th January. I get an error message
    "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document"

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You have a problem when opening a file with the wrong version.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

    On my iPhone 5s I have suddenly lost from calendar all of the events I had entered and can no longer add events. What has gone wrong and how do I fix it - including retrieving the lost events?

    Restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears.

  • Re I-Movie.  "Communication Error" is what I get when I try and send a clip from my Sony camera to the IMovie program in my IMAC 2008 Intel Chips.  The IMovie program has worked well for several years - up to now.  What has gone wrong?

    Re I-MOVIE.  I am getting a "Communication Error" when I try and send a clip to the IMovie
    program in my IMAC 2008 Intel Chip computer.  This is the first time in 3 years that the
    program has not worked.  What has gone wrong?

    Hi
    Have no idea - But if it is a new problem with exactly the same kind of material that was previously used. Then my trouble shooting guide might help.
    If You
    • used a new Camera - file codec might be a sort that don't work
    • Your main hard disk might get too filled up
    Else try
    Trouble
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    • iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    • Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
    • Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    • a codec is used that doesn't work
    • problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    • version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    • preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    • other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    • External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    • USB-flash-memories do not work
    • Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
    • iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
    This You do by
    _ close iPhoto
    _ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    _ now select all five options presented
    _ WAIT a long long time
    • free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    • external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    • GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    • Screen must be set to million-colors
    • Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    • Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    • Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    • Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    • In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

  • I have an iPhone5. I update to iOS7. Now I cannot edit my messages. I have to delete the whole message string like in iPhone 1. What has gone wrong

    I have an iPhone5. I updated to iOS7. Now I cannot edit my messages. I have to delete the whole message string like in iPhone 1. What has gone wrong?

    Thanks it resloved my question, but Apple has made it more complicated it was so much easier to just press the edit button and select messages to be deleted. Now its cumbersome to delete several messages. Apple should give us back the edit button.

  • What has gone wrong? whilst moving originals to external hard drive it has renamed my files to my latest import name

    what has gone wrong? whilst moving originals (to make them referanced files) to external hard drive, drobo 5s, it has renamed my files to my latest import name. what do I do?

    The drop-down settings in the Relocate Originals dialog remain unchanged from one use to the next (they are sticky).  My guess is that you left the "Name Format" dropdown in the last (unwanted) position -- one you had set when you relocated Originals and wanted them renamed using the file naming convention you use when importing.
    The best you can do is to rename the mis-named files.  You cannot undo the renaming that has been done.
    This is a design flaw (imho it falls short of a bug).  You should let Apple's Aperture team know that the behavior your got was different from what you expected, and was not reversible.  Use "Aperture➞Provide Aperture Feedback".

  • Why are my photos on recently downloaded Photoshop Elements 13, shown as touching their neighbours both above, below and at sides, and in effect have become a wall of photos! What has gone wrong?

    I have recently downloaded Photoshop Elements 13 as an upgrade to PSE 8 which I have run for a year or two. Whenever I add photos to PSE 13, they appear as normal except that there is no space around each individual entry and all photos are crammed together and appear as a wall of photos. Why is this? What has gone wrong?

    Moving the discussion to Photoshop Elements forum.
    Thanks,

    Bad RAM. Reseat it and see if that clears it up. If not then that need to be replace or the actual RAM sockets have gone bad.
