I can't get my e-mail to work after installing Lion

I installed Lion O.S. on my MacBook Pro and everythign works great except my e-mail, it just opens up an error screen??  Any help would be great!!

You should only have one ID for iCloud, and perhaps one for the iTunes Store, depending on how you set it up.
To setup iCloud email you need to login with your iCloud @me.com email address and iCloud password.

    Could I prevail upon you to come up with a better thread title?  I resisted my first inclination to move the thread to "Dustbin"; but I will say the title does little to inspire us to help.   You may wan to read the article linked in my signature.
    Thanks.
    I'll change it now. I just realized it sounds rough, but I was mad because I couldn't get it work, it isn't anyone's fault, sorry
    EDIT: I got it to work at an usable state! By using the 8192cu driver on the AUR and the suggestions in the comments about disabling power-save, I got it to be usable. It now has up to 8% packet loss, not 30-40% like before, and the ping spikes are now 300-400 ms and less frequent, not 1000-1200ms. It's not working really well but now I can at least surf the web. Thank you all for the patience.
    EDIT 2: after testing more I realized it still disconnects every few seconds when I'm far from the AP. However, when connected, I still have very strong signal. If I use it on windows or another distro it doesn't disconnect. I tried compiling the driver from realtek by myself using the istructions in the second post but I don't know how to fix some compile errors, so I decided I'll stick with my usb dongle. Maybe someone will find a better solution.

  • I can not get my regular mail to work since I changed to moved to iCloud. What do I need to do?

    I can not get my regular mail to work since i moved to iCloud. What do I need to do to update?

    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi.  At the bottom, make sure the "Ask to Join Networks" is ON.  When you are out and about, any network the iPad sees will be shown and it will ask you if you want to "Join" it.  If it is unsecure/free you tell it yes and you should connect.  However, if there is a little padlock looking icon shown with the network name, it means that it is a secure network and you need a password to join.  If you don't know it, you can't join.  At most Starbucks and such, the Wi-Fi is free and you should be able to simply connect.  Not really that hard.  There are not security settings on your iPad to adjust.  You'll figure it out.
    Best.

  • Mail not working after installing Mavericks

    Mail stoped working after installing Mavericks!

    Check this out. It worked for me and is related to a problem in Accounts.plist...
    The problem was caused by dodgy entries in the accounts.plist file in my User Library folder. It appears that either when I upgraded to Mavericks this file gained hundreds (possibly thousands) of spurious entries, or maybe these entries were in there before but previously the OSX/Mail combination was more tolerant. When I removed these the problem with Mail disappeared. Here’s what I did….
    1> Make the user Library folder visible - in Mavericks this is a lot easier than Lion/Mountain Lion. Simply open up your user directory in Finder, select menu View>Show View Options, and select “Show Library Folder”
    2> Navigate through username>Library>Mail>V2>MailData and select the Accounts.plist file. If this file is multiple megabytes (mine was 40+mb) then this is likely the cause of your problem (once sorted mine ended up at 19k in size!)
    3> To be safe, make a copy of this file (I placed the copy on my desktop).
    4> Using your chosen text editor (I used Text Wrangler but I’m sure TextEdit would work just fine) open the Accounts.plist in the MailData folder (not your backup copy) and take a look. If it’s the same as me you will find hundreds and hundreds of entries for the same mailbox repeated in there. Mine was an old MSN mailbox that I never use any more (I’ve seen in other forums that other Hotmail type accounts also seem to be the culprits in this context). There will likely be two lots of repeated data, one in the XML “DeliveryAccounts” <array> section, and one lot in the “MailAccounts” <array> section.
    5> Delete (keeping in mind the need to select the XML sections correctly from <dict> to </dict> completely) all those extra entries that you found, keeping the mail accounts you do need, in the XML and save the file.
    6> Mail should open up nice and fast again and not eat your system
    7> If this did not work, and causes problems because of over eager deleting in <5> you can replace your broken Accounts.plist file with your backup and try again.

  • Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?

    Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?   Or should I have done it before installing Lion?

    I think you are missing my point.
    For the last many editions of the creative suite they have each been completely independent. There is no "going over a previous version. Each version stands on its own and is a clean install — as long as you haven't installed that specific version before.
    And "obsolete" is a pretty relative term. With products as complex as the creative suite there are often features (or even whole applications) that change between versions. Many people I know keep earlier versions around, just for that very reason.

  • I can't get my iCloud mail To Work

    I've tried every ID and password I can think of and I still can't get my Apple Mail to send/receive emails from my iCloud Account?
    What do I need to do to just get it setup correctly.  I've tried following the tutorials but haven't had any success.
    Any ideas? 
    (Also, when I try to Setup Mail With system prefs->icloud it tells me Mail can't be enabled at this time try again.
    iCloud on my Mac and my iPhone is so frustrating...  There are also too many user ids...  very confusing! 

    You should only have one ID for iCloud, and perhaps one for the iTunes Store, depending on how you set it up.
    To setup iCloud email you need to login with your iCloud @me.com email address and iCloud password.

  • I can't get text-to-speech to work in Mountain Lion

    I am running a MacBook Pro Retina with mountain lion and I can't get text-to-speech to work. I have selected the text and pressed the key to initiate it, but it just doesn't start to talk.

    (cross-posting from another thread)
    I'm having the same problem. It's as if my iPhone and MacBook Pro now have two separate calendars.
    Basically, I have a MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion, 13", late 2011) that I sync via USB with an iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1). Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, all of my iCal events would sync flawlessly. But none of the events I've created in iCal (Calendars) since upgrading have synced to the iPhone. Likewise, no new events that I create on the iPhone Calendar will sync to iCal. Also, changes to an existing event (even one created before upgrading to Mountain Lion) don't get synced either.
    Everything else seems to be syncing just fine though (music, apps, contacts, etc).

    The CAPS LOCK key also seems to have gotten stuck on.*
    Update 51 ratcheted up the security on Java applets, so that unsigned applets that used to generate a warning are now completely blocked. Please see the following documentation from Oracle on your options:

  • Mail search problems after installing Lion

    After installing Lion search in mail app dosent work correctly anymore. I keep thousands of emails in my mailbox and usually search needed email by typing sender to search, now it find only few sender. Any help anyone?

    I ran into the same problem with only some messages (if any at all) showing up in the searches in Mail. For an example, I have over 100 messages from Netflix within all my mail folders (trash included) but when I search for anything containing "netflix" it would only pull up 2 messages from my trash folder on two random dates. This was the case for ANY searches I was trying to pull up, not just for netflix emails.
    I spoke to an iOS Senior Advisor who did a screen share with me (because he had never heard of the problem previously) and after reviewing the issue, he said he will be taking this up to the engineers.
    Here is what fixed the problem for me:
    1. Enable Indexing
    Open Terminal, and type the following:  sudo mdutil -i on /
    If it asks for your password, type it in and hit return.
    Re-open mail. If this didn't fix anything, then you will need to re-index:
    2. Re-indexing HD
    Go to System Preferences, Spotlight, click on the Privacy tab, click on the + to add the entire Macintosh HD to the list of "Prevent spotlight from searching these locations" and then remove the Macintosh HD by clicking the - button.
    Once you've done this is will automatically start re-indexing in spotlight. This took about 90 minutes on my computer, but once it was done, I re-opened mail and it was working properly again.
    If you still run into issues, I've heard that in Mail, clicking on "Mailbox" then "Rebuild" can sometimes fix the issue. Let me know if any of those steps worked for you!

  • Anyone getting this pop up error message after installing Lion?

    After installing Lion I now get random pop up error messages that say...There was a problem connecting to the server. URL's with the type "file" are not supported. I have to keep closing them. Any ideas what to do?

    Actually, In my case, turning off Time Machine didn't help. I had the same problem. We definitely traced it to Time Machine. The "Fix" was this: plugged in and designated different external HD as Backup volume. Then unplugged it and plugged in the original disc (after testing in in a different machine) and now the computer recognized it and error message stopped popping up. The Apple tech was as puzzled as I as to why this worked, but perhaps, forcing the machine to re-recognize it (or maybe even gettting it recognized by a different machine first) somehow worked some magic.

  • How can I get my e-mail addresses working

    I synchronize my Touch with outlook 2003. The imported e-mail adresses are mainly unusable. Outlook displays the addresses by the name of the contact instead of the complete address. The touch imports the displayed name and not the e-mailaddress. This means that I can't send mails from the Touch using my imported address book. Who recognizes the problem and who knows how to solve it?

    BasHIDAP -
    I too sync with Outlook 2003 as well. I am confused on your comment about not being able to send messages from your iPhone. Quick question – I am going to assume that you are working Exchange as well.
    Though you may not able to view e-mail details when using the Contact list. When compose a message and start typing a name in the ‘To’ filed the phone starts to filter names and at that point you can see the full e-mail address.
    As I mentioned above I seem to have no problems send and receiving messages on my iPhone. If this is not the case can you provide additional information as to what happens when you try to send mail?
    Respectfully –

  • I can't get my MobileMe mail account working with ...

    I have spend hours with trying to get my MobileMe (www.me.com) mail account to work correctly based on IMAP protocol on my Nokia 5800. I have the correct settings, I have tried both with and without SSL, and I do have other mail accounts  working (synchronising properly with IMAP on the 5800). I do use and access the same email account on other devices and PCs and have no similar problem. Consequently I am confused. how to get the issue resolved and would appreciate your help if you have eventually experienced this symptom and did come across it.
