HT204187 outgoing mail rejects password on one computer but not the other

The mail program says the outgoing mail password is incorrect on wife's desktop computer, but mail works from her iPad.

I, too, have the same problems as listed above. I have changed my password in my mail account several times. Each time my iPhone and iPad accept the new password and is able to send/receive mail. My macbookPro rejects it each time. I have tried deleting it from keychain...still did not fix the problem. Any other suggestions?

Mail / iCloud rejects password on one mac but not the other

I have just upgraded my MacbookPro and my MacPro from 10.6 to 10.7.
For whatever reason - the MBP works fine and can access all my email accounts, whilst the MP is constantly rejecting the password for iCloud.
My Mobileme account was upgraded to iCloud several months ago and has been in daily use on both macs ever since.
The only difference in the upgrades is that the MBP upgrade was not a clean install, whereas the MP was installed with a clean hard drive and then all apps/data was transfered over.
Disk permissions have been repaired and that has made no difference.
Both macs are on the same network, with the same passwords and same account settings. Any suggestion how i can resolve this problem?

i solved the problem by adding a new mail account to Mail, re-inputting the email address and password, then deleting the old problematic one.
works a treat!

Why is home sharing showing up on one computer but not the other?

My homesharing is showing up on one computer but not the other! They are both under the same account and both iTunes are up to date. Unfortunatally, of course its showing up on the computer that I dont need it on. Please help me! Thanks!

It could be a firewall issue. Try disabling the firewall and see if that helps.

"printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)

printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)

This is pretty common to see when your firewall kicks in and blocks certain communication paths the printer takes.
Here's a list of ports and programs that when allowed through the firewall, will restore communiction.
Ports to open:
UDP ports: 427, 161, 139
TCP ports: 9200, 9220, 9290, 9500
Programs to allow:
hpiscnapp.exe
hpoews01.exe
hpofxm08.exe
hposfx08.exe
hposid01.exe
hpqkygrp.exe
hpqste08.exe
hpqtra08.exe
hpznui01.exe
hpzwiz01.exe
SLP_Service (also known as UDP 427)
Have your security software provider walk you through allowing these items through your firewall.
If this does not fix your issue, it is most likely an issue with the driver configuration. Your router may have assisgned the printer a new IP address and this can be changed in the properties of the existing driver.

Home sharing library loads on one computer but not the other

I have turned on Home Sharing (using the same account for both) on two computers. One of them loads the other's library, but the other either continually says it is attempting to load, or immediately reverts back to the normal Music library screen.
I have spent several hours searching the Internet to find suggestions but nothing seems to be working:
I have downloaded the newest version of iTunes
I have tried setting up a new account, de-authorising the computer on all accounts except the new one
I have turned off the sharing located under the Preferences tab
I have made sure that iTunes is not blocked by a firewall
I have checked that the Bonjour service is running
I have tried turning everything off and starting all over again
I would welcome a new solution! Thank you!

Ipod works on one computer but not the other?

Can someone please help me? My ipod works on my laptop but not the desktop. When I plug the Ipod into the desktop it sometimes shows up in Itunes but says it's corrupt. Which it obviously isn't because it works fine on it's own when not plugged into a computer and it works fine when I plug it into the laptop. Also when I looked in my computer the Ipod would show up as drive j and it would flash on and off. Well, I tried plugging the Ipod into a different port and that worked as far as drive j stopped flashing on and off. I tried changing the drive name and it wouldn't let me because it always went back to drive j even after I changed it to drive z. Itunes is playing music and is up to date. I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Please help.

Screen Sharing/File works on one computer but not the other???

Two computers, both running the exact same version of Snow Leopard.
One is a Unibody MacBook Pro 2.66, the other 27" iMac i7. The MacBook Pro can't connect to the iMac, but I can get the iMac to connect to the MacBook Pro to pull files and screen share (pull files from MacBook, while on iMac).
My settings seem to be exactly the same. I've gone over them again and again (in sharing) is there something I might be overlooking?
Is there a firewall that might be enabled on one? Something else?

HI,
The MacBook Pro can't connect to the iMac
Just checking... open System Preferences / Sharing. Make sure File Sharing and Screen Sharing are selected.
You may have to click the gold padlock icon bottom left corner of that pane to make changes. You will be prompted for your admin password.
Firewall on or off shouldn't make a difference.

HT201322 Will hiding songs hide them from all computers? Is there a way to delete a song off one computer but not the other?

My mom & I share the same iTunes account and we finally have seperate computers. If i hide songs from iCloud on my computer will it also hide them on her's? If it does, is there anyway i can hide/delete some songs off my computer but keep them on her computer because I don't want her music on my compute but i don't want to repurchase everything i have....

Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. it won't remove anything from your iTunes library. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

Why have my mac mail sent messages disappeared on one computer but not the other?

My mac mail account on my Air is not showing my sent messages other than the one I just sent. To find the variables, I checked my mac mail on my iMac and my sent messages are there.
Not sure what the problem is but I look forward to some help.
Thanks.

I note that I just found all previous sent messages in the separate sent messages folder on my sidebar (minus the message that appears in my regular Sent Mailbox). I just moved these to the Sent mailbox and will wait to see if they appear there (in the sent mailbox) once it has processed this action.

My home share is not working i have tried everything it works on one computer but not the other help!

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes i have tried messing with my avast and I cant get anything to work please help me! it works on another computer in the house but everytime i try to click on his library it says it loading his library and then stops and goes to my music. plz help!

When normally powering the phone, there would not be a loading bar, you would just see the Apple logo. You can try a reset of the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
You can take the phone to Apple, by making an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the hardware checked. Apple handles warranty and post-warranty issues, not Verizon. Have Apple look at the hardware to see if there are any problems.

Keyboard works on one computer but not the other

I have an aluminum wireless keyboard that came with my Mac Pro (Early 2008). Some time ago, it just stopped working. I tested the bluetooth mouse and a few other bluetooth peripherals to check that it wasn't the Mac Pro's bluetooth that was malfunctioning. I was convinced that the keyboard was broken, and was about to take it to the Apple Store to get it fixed when I thought that maybe I should test the keyboard on another computer. When I did that, it worked perfectly, but it still does not work with my Mac Pro. I've tried changing the batteries and removing the pairing from my Mac Pro. When I try to re-pair it, the Mac Pro is unable to discover it. Thank you in advance for your help.

You can do the same thing opening Mail, then under Mail, open Preferences, highlight the account and click the minus sign at the bottom of that panel.
Either approach should delete the account from that machine.
