I have a POP account set up in Mail, has been that way for years. Today it isn't working.
I have a POP email account that's been set up in Mail for years. Today it won't send or retrieve email, continually asks for my password but doesn't keep it. My iCloud email is fine. According to an Apple Support document, "Mail: Troubleshooting sending & receiving email" (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276), it appears as if it's a problem with my email provider. I've spoken to the email provider and they say it's not a problem on their end. I can log into my email account using the provider's webmail and all is fine there. And, since I'm still receiving my email on my iPad & iPhone, I'm not entirely convinced it is a problem with the email provider.
When I go into Mail Preferences, my password shows blank (even when I re-enter it) and it shows my Outgoing Mail Server as Offline. When I choose Edit SMTP server list and click on the Advanced tab, my password is missing here as well. Re-entering it doesn't help.
I've tried Take All Accounts Offline then Take All Accounts Online and that doesn't work. I would delete the account and set it up again, but I get a warning message that if I delete the account, I lose everything in the account; folders, email, filters, etc. I can't afford to lose the existing emails.
I'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and Mail 6.2; I believe they are both the most recent versions.
I checked the settings with Network Solutions and they are correct. As to archiving, is it possible to turn everything into one big archive or does each folder and subfolder need to be archived individually? I've looked at the documentation and I get the impression that everything is archived separately. Also I couldn't find a mention as to whether it's possible to archive or some how save all of my filters.
I use Time Machine as my general backup. I back up all the Mail files every couple weeks (on a flash drive) but now I've learned, the hard way, that's not often enough.
Thank you.

I did the last software upgrade for iphoto, It goes thru a 9 step process. Mine is stock at step 5 99% complete. It has been that way for 1 week now. I have in excess of 62 k pictures. Program is not stock. Any advice?
force quit, Back up your iPhoto library, Depress the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

I have over 350 songs that were lost on mutliple devices in an accident.The original computer and Ipod were lost. My account has been the same for years but I can't access my old library. Help!!
<Email Edited by Host>Whatever you bought from iTunes is yours forever and can be downloaded as many times as you want. This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
Here is the procedure for your reference.
On a computer, launch iTunes. Click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
"Sign in" using the Apple ID used to purchase your songs, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
Whatever you have that did not originate from iTunes will have to be obtained from whatever means you used to obtain it in the past. -
When ever I try to watch any video, from a link or YouTube say, using Firefox, I get a message ‘An error as occurred. Please try again later’. It has been this way for some weeks. I don’t have this problem using Safari or Opera.
I believe that our “Werbung problem” adds an additional second hyperlink to the pop-up window. This second link is activated whenever you trigger a saved hyperlink to a Mail.com site.
I had the same problem and eliminated it by deleting all bookmarks, hyperlinks and automatic links that take firefox to a mail.com address. So I just deleted all bookmarks I had saved for mail.com. I also changed my home page link because it also went to my email at mail.com. I then did a warm boot, opened firefox and re-saved my bookmarks and homepage to the desired addresses. Good luck. -
iGoogle has been my homepage for years. All of a sudden when I logon I now get the Firefox welcome page not Google. I have done all of the steps Firefox indicates to make iGoogel my home page but it keeps reverting to Firefox after I logoff.

i have a screen with the apple logo on it and a bar underneath it. it has been this way for about an hour now. what does this mean and is there a way to reset the iphone without going into the store? it isnt showing in my computer or on the itunes page.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -

Your Device is in Recovery Mode and needs to be connected to the Computer you Usually Sync with.
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps..
Once you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...

I have two email accounts set up on my Mail application. Both pull in and send just fine but ever since I upgrade the exchange sever and re-setup the account It won't show the unread (number) to the right of the inbox? The other one shows up just fine. Any clues would be great! Thank you.

I have 3 phones on one Icloud account. They have been this way for over a year. After an update last week one of the phones started getting messages for all of the other lines. We fixed this under the send and receive under settings. It was fine for a few days. Suddenly it started happening again. Yesterday after two hours on the phone I changed my apple id and it is still happening. Before that Verizon had told me to turn off my imessage when that happened I could not get any texts at all from other Iphone users.
Make 3 different iCloud accounts and use ONLY for iMessage. That will permanently fix your issue.

AS soon as I log in I get this screen "Setting Up Your Mac..."
It has been on the computer for quite a while and I can not get back to my desktop.
Please help. thanks!Here was the answer I found that worked:
Command-Shift-Option-Esc (hold for three seconds) for Force Quit the front-most application (Mac OS X v10.5 or later)
That got to me a new page where I had to enter my security key chain ID, but then wouldn't go any further. So i have rebooted - and lo and behold it opened up OK. It has asked me for a security question, but it now seems to be working OK!! Thanks - hope you get your problem sorted also. I should have copied the name and did not...sorrry. -
Clicked on update software and then computer began to download the update. Now it has been have an hour and is still downloading the update. Shows that its connecting to the update server, but don't think it actually has. Im on a Mac, and have a very fast internet connection. Im not sure how long this update should take, but I feel that 30 min trying to connect to the update server is a long time. How do I fix this?
See:
* [[Software Update Failed]]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.

Hi,
I cannot get my firefox shortcuts to go directly to the profile manager anymore. I don't know why. I know I have set the target up correctly in properties but it still will not go to the profile manger. Please help.
Here is what is in the target location in properties:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profilemangerGlad all is working again.
If you have not come across this problem in two years maybe you just do not set Firefox as the Sytem's default browser. If so no need to read any further.
Just be aware that in some circumstances you will run into problems with the way you appear to have done this. If you try to take an action that opens Firefox indirectly it may fail.
The action you are trying to avoid, opening another window of the existing Firefox is sometimes essential.
If you try to use a hyperlink or an HTML file your Windows Vista OS will normally try to use your default browser. That may well be Firefox. If that is the case and Firefox tries to open with -no-remote it will fail if the profile is in use. (Or warn you then automatically close down the already running profile )
I will quote from another help article
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Opening_a_new_instance_of_your_Mozilla_application_with_another_profile <blockquote>'''Important:''' Never use -no-remote to start the "default" profile (the one that is set to open without asking when you launch Firefox). That's because when you launch Firefox, for example, by clicking a link in your mail program, you will get a [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use Firefox is already running but is not responding message] if the default profile is already in use. The solution is to always start the default profile normally and launch all others with -no-remote. Then it will work.</blockquote> -

As I open up Premier, it asks me for the sequence presets, which should I chose in this case? (DV 24p?, DV NTSC?, DVCPROHD?)
Skip the step of creating a sequence, import your footage
and create a matching sequence by doing this:
I don't know why you don't have MPEG2 in your Encoder.

Once this happens, it takes a while like it is catching up but eventually will clear the jam. It has locked up and or crashed and I manually have to reset my computer.
This can happen if you've zoomed the page. That effects the screen dimensions as reported by JavaScript and seems to confuse Yahoo.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
