I have the iphone 5 ios7 and am unable to send mail.  I get the message. " Cannot send mail.  The user name or password for smtp.xxxxx@@smtp.comcast.net is incorrect.  I have shut down and deleted my email account 3 times already!  Frustrated. Any help is appreciated.

What you said in your original post is not.

That is definitely wrong.  Again make sure its identical, and the ports match too.

  • I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?

    Hey there rmflint,
    It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

    Hi,
    In Messages or iChat go to the App Menu > Preferences > Accounts
    On the left is the list of  Accounts that are set up.
    Everyone gets Bonjour (Although by default it is not Active).
    Highlight the Bonjour Account
    On the right there is a Box that says "Enable this Account" which probably has a tick in it.
    Select it to remove the tick.
    This will turn Off the Bonjour Account.
    The List may also contain any @me.com name you have set up.
    This can be used in Messages as the ID for iMessages
    It is also a Valid AIM screen Name.
    It would helps if we knew which version of iChat and the OS you are using as there are some changes that occur
    An iCloud @me.com name will not work in iChat 5 or earlier due to the checks Apple has in iChat 6 (and Messages) which iChat 5 does not do.
    To also work as a Valid Screen Name the password for your @Me.com name has to be 16 characters or less (AIM server limit)

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can't do that in AirPlay Mirroring. AirPlay Mirroring can only mirror your MacBook's display, so you can't do one thing in your Mac's display and another in the TV.
    This is a feature that will arrive in Mavericks. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview

  • Can't get MAC to shut down and start up via the schedule button in system preferences energy saver. Is there another way?

    Can't get MAC to shut down and start up via the schedule button in system preferences energy saver. Is there another way?

    Try this to start:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.

    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • I have to shut down and restart mail to receive mail.

    Since I installed the new system on my MacBrook Pro, I have to force quit and restart my mail to receive it.  This is also happening on my brand new desktop (10.7.1), but not on my iPhone or iPad.

    Thanks for your reply Carlo TD, I was just about to ask you what further info should I be giving however the problem seems to have cleared itself.  I've not had to shut down and restart for about 6 hours or so now.  However if the issue arises again I will be back here to try and solve it.  Thank you again.

  • I have Lightroom 4.2 which isn't opening in Windows 7. A message comes up saying it's already open in another application. I've tried shutting down and restarting; still not opening.

    I have Lightroom 4.2 which isn't opening in Windows 7. A message comes up saying it's already open in another application; I can't see that it is. I've been using this successfully for 2 years now! I've tried shutting down and restarting; still not opening.

    Found it and deleted!! Success! Thank you!

  • Can receive mail, it takes a while. Will not send mail, tells me sending 1 of 1, but never sends. Try shutting down and restarting doesn't help. What do I do now?

    Can receive mail, but it takes a little while. Try and send a email but it never sends, bottom left corner says sending 1 of 1 but never sends. I've shut down and restarted iPad but that doesn't help. What to do to correct this and what is the cause?

    In that case your email provider's server is having difficulties to deliver the message to the recipients email provider server.
    This has got nothing to do with Thunderbird.
    There is little you can do though. You may have the recipient to check with his email provider if they have any issues.

  • I have my iPhoto set to an external drive yesterday when it was in use the usb disconnected i now have a message saying (your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable) I have tried shutting down and restarting.

    I have my iPhoto set to an external drive, when it was in use the usb disconected as i was moving my mac air, when i re-conected a message said (your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable).
    I have tried shutting it down and then re opening iPhoto but get the same message.
    The reason for the external drive was there was not enough room on my hard drive, I have around 7000 photos on it.
    is there a simple fix?
    Regards
    Dale

    These are your options:
    1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
              Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
              Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
    2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
              Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
              Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
    3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
              Advantages: All images and albums should be preserved.
              Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.

  • Use ipad2 to play video on Apple TV but cannot get the video to play on the iPad even though I change setting without shutting down and restarting the ipad.

    I have been using my ipad2 to show video on my flatscreen using the Apple TV.  Recently I find that once I use Apple TV I cannot switch back to the ipad for viewing even if I go back to the little rectangular screen and change the checkmark to ipad.  Once this happens all my videos will only play through apple tv.   If I shut down the ipad and restart it I come up in the ipad mode and can view it on the pad. 

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Not really sure on this one, but one thought I have is how full is your iPad. Have you connected your iPad to iTunes recently.

  • How do I stop FF from restoring previous session, I've already played with all the options I can find but nothing stops it unless I delete history each time.

    Recently, FF has started opening my last tabs when I start a fresh session. I have already checked to make sure that none of the applicable settings are enabled, such as under Options->General: When FF starts "SHOW MY HOMEPAGE" is selected. But for some reason, it opens my last session. The only way I've been able to get it to stop doing this is by having it delete my browsing history after I close the session. I don't want this since I often use my history to re-find information I need for class research. I have made certain that all my settings are the same from before FF started doing this. It only started doing this after the computer was turned off for a long weekend.
    I've already searched through the Mozilla help pages and all I can find is how to restore the previous session or similar. I don't want to restore my previous session, I want it to stop restoring my previous session without having to delete my browsing history each time.

    Using the instructions here:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Disabling_crash_recovery
    I was able to turn off that feature entirely without having to create a new profile.

  • I cleaned my computer lately and it won't let me open iTunes, saying I don't have the correct permissions, so I backed my iTunes files up and deleted it. Now when I try to install the free download it says 'The installer encountered an error...

    The installer for iTunes free download says when installing "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail." I have been to the help page and run Disk Utility (not sure if that's worked or not) and it still comes up with this. Please help me get iTunes back up and running. Thanks

    Go to HD>Library>Receipts - remove the iTunesX.pkg receipt. Drag the iTunes app to the trash.
    Repair permissions with Disk Utility - reboot - then try to run the installer.

  • My pc says Firefox is running after I close the browser, and will not let me access the internet. This continues even after I shut down and restart my pc. It even continues to do it after I uninstal, then reinstal Firefox. What can I do?

    We tried uninstalling , tyen reinstalling Firefox, but we still get the error message that Firefox is running, and the PC won't open the browser.
    We went to the Task Manager on our PC, which said Firefox was running, and told TM to close it. But, when we try to then open Firefox, we get the same error message.

    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
