I have never been able to use the Macmail feature.  Running OSX 10.4.11, and the problems appear to be related to the fact that when I originally registered my computer with apple, I used an old e-mail address which is now defunct.  Have since upgraded the e-mail address in account manger, but it still locks me out and rejects my user name and password when I try to log in.  It seems it established an account for me automatically when I first fired the beast up, but now the Macmail program is uncooperative with me.  Any assistance would be much appreciated, Thanks

Hi rbcjoker76, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Sounds like some needed System Fonts wre replaced by bad ones. Y also have Font Book in Applications for validating fonts & checking for duplicates.
Required Fonts from 10.3, much the same in 10.4...

then intall the Fonts what you need from your Install Disk.
Or do a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

  • I have never been able to use Firefox to view my OWA until I added the IE-Tab Add-on. Was this a known limitation for Firefox?

    I have never been able to use Firefox to view my OWA (Outlook Web Access). It always prompts for creds that it doesn't accept anyway. Until I added the IE-Tab Add-on, was this a known limitation for Firefox?

    Hi prime_anthony and thank you for asking. I do not think this is a Firefox limitation because I have been accessing my OWA too via Firefox on a Linux machine. I can login using my domain account and password without any problem and without using IE-Tab add-on.
    It probably depends on the version of the Outlook Web Access or the Exchange Server. Newer versions of these already have Firefox supported.

    I have an original iPad and have never been able to use the ear jack to work.

    If you have inserted the earbuds or headphones all the way and tried more than one set, the iPad probably has a hardware problem and if no longer under warranty, you will have to pay out of pocket to get it repaired.

  • My trial is about to end and I have never been able to use this.

    My trial subscription is about to end and I have never been able to use it.
    I had the Adobe for$19.99 a year but when it changed to $19.99 a month I could not afford it.
    I am a pro bono attorney mostly representing battered women and juveniles at risk.
    Occasionally, I really need to turn  a PDF into a Word document.
    So far, it hasn't worked this time.

    Hi Suzi,
    I would recommend you to use the Export PDF service instead (The Most Reliable Tool to Convert PDF to Word or Excel | Adobe ExportPDF) available at a price of US $1.99/mo Billed annually at US $ 23.88/year.

  • HT1338 cannot update as my apple icon does not show update sofeware???  i was also on phone with someone and I got disconnected and no one has called me back.  i have never been able to use this computer as the guy who put in my passowrds, put them in wro

    i am not able to get into my MacPro notebook.  person set up passwords i do not know????  he certainly did not use any password I use
    therefore i cannot do much of anything.  I got Apple to call me but when she transferred me, call was lost and no one has called me back. 
    my case no. is 405403541.

    Did you purchase the Mac used? If so, the person should have erased the drive and reinstalled the original system and should have given you the install disks.
    Good luck with your call to Apple.

  • HT1551 I've set up our Apple TV and we used it with no issues for a time but after the first month we have never been able to use it.  Upon purchasing a movie it says that it is downloading the movie then shuts down.

    I have had our media company to see what the problem is a few times but with no success. Anyone able to assist or direct me so that I can once again use my Apple TV?

    I would grab a micro usb cable and restore in iTunes. Or you can take it in to a local Apple store/reseller.

    Have you logged in and reviewed your account and entered payment details ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Suppor…
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    You could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you review your account without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
    If not then you will either have to enter card details (you should be able to remove them after entering them), or create a new account (using the instructions on the above link).

    hi can anyone help please ? i have had apple products now for apron 7 years BUT have never been able to make the bluetooth work , not even when 2 products i.e. : phone and iPod are in the same room. So i stopped trying but would like to set it up between my iMac and iphone / ipad but can't get it to work, they say discoverable but just will not connect to one another. I also tried the connection code and tried without one ... NO JOY ... Is this common or am i a twit ?

    You can't connect an iPhone or iPad to a Mac via Bluetooth, except for Internet tethering.
    You're not doing anything wrong - it just isn't a feature of iOS devices.
    What were you hoping a Bluetooth connection would allow you to do?

    Update your safari.  Install this:  http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569
    The itunes store relies on certain components of safari, regardless of if you use it or not.

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. If you did not do step 4 properly, start all over again.

  • I signed up for cc a while back and thought i was supposed to receive both ps and lr but i have only been able to use ps.  I pay the monthly 9.99 subscription. Does this price level not include Lr?

    i signed up for cc a while back and thought i was supposed to receive both ps and lr but i have only been able to use ps.  I pay the monthly 9.99 subscription. Does this price level not include Lr?

    Sounds a bit odd to me.  Like Gene says, if you are signed in to the Desktop Application Manager, it should recognize you and the plan you are on, and let you install LR without asking for a serial number.  Try signing out of the Desktop Application Manager by clicking on the cog icon > Preferences > Account tab > sign out.  Then sign back in again.  This forces the Desktop Application Manager to scan your system (it normally only does so once every 24 hours looking for updates).
    If LR is still not inviting you to Install it, then sign in to your Adobe account .  See what it says under My Subscriptions. I don't have the Photography plan, so don't know what you should see, but I imagine it will be obvious.  Click on Manage and see if that makes sense.
    If still in trouble, I think you would do better starting a thread in the Creative Cloud forum that deals specifically with this sort of issue.  You'll also find some FAQ links on that page that will likely give you a clue as to what is going on.
    Bottom line is I have never been asked for a serial number installing LR from the CC Desktop Application Manager.

  • I have never been able to backup my iPhones to the iCloud, why?

    I had an iPhone 4 and now have an iPhone 4s updated to the latest iOS. To date I have never been able to back it up my iPhones to the iCloud. I have been thru all the iPads and now have the newest iPad and have never had problems backing that device up to the iCloud. They both share the same content, music, apps etc. My iPhone will get halfway and just stops saying it couldn't complete the back up, but gives no reason why...very frustrating especially for the high regards I have for the dependability of Apple products.  Guess I can't post pics, so here are the details..It gets to 1 minute remaining then stops. The message says " last back up could not be completed".. Last back up "never".  On the next screen it shows my iPhone and iPads combined storage of 2.2GB. My iCloud space say 2.7GB available of 5.0 on iCloud. Any ideas?

    What do you mean by this? Did you restore the phone from an iCloud backup? Did you configure your iCloud account on the replacement phone? Was the original backed up or synced to iCloud to begin with?

    Hello zabetnz
    Start with the article below to get access to the iTunes Store. If it does not work, then there are some links towards the bottom of the article for additional troubleshooting.

    Make sure you have the right system requirements before you start to update the iOS, you will need:
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
