I have two mail accounts using mac mail. One account goes offline for no apparent reason.  Check mailbox menu all accounts online, password correct, etc.  but still can't get back

one account goes offline for no apparent reason.  I check Mailbox drop down menu for Take all accounts online, check correct password OK, turn mail off and on, reboot computer, etc.  Nothing seems to work.  Has happened in the past, but has also "fixed itself" after unknown time periods.  One account has not been working now for awhile.  I would like to get to the bottom of this.

Hello,
Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

    First of all, look in the garbage. It's easy to move a folder there without knowing it.
    Second, do a Spotlight Search (Cmd-Space), and search for a file you know should be there. If you find the file, there's a good chance that the other files you're looking for are there, too.
    If you're in kind of a crisis mode, coming up with pat advice probably isn't a good policy - but I suggest investing in a backup drive in case anything goes wrong. A program like Time Machine can be a life saver.
    Post with your results!

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • I currently have iPhoto 8.1.2 on my macbook pro and am trying to update to the latest version.  I have had to work backward, but I can only get back to 9.1, which will not install because it says I need at least 9.0 to install it. Is 9.0 available?

    Upgrading from iPhoto 8 to iPhoto 9 requires a purchase. There are two ways to get to iPhoto 9: 
    1 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
    2 - if your MBP meets the requirements upgrade you system for free to Mavericks.  Then you can purchase the latest iPhoto version, 9.5.1, from the App Store.

  • I cannot send mail from 1 of my iCloud accounts using mac mail- smtp problem

    Slightly strange problem today with smtp server.  For some reason timing out on po4 on one of my accounts.  Another account uses po2 and is working fine.  If I log in to icloud I can send messages so problem appears to be in configuration of mac mail.  I have not changed anything, I can receive mail.  When trying to change smtp I cannot edit the smtp box or if i do it reverts to what it was previously.  Any suggestions ?

    Whoops have jus seen this thread which looks like it is a more widespread problem than just me

  • How do I separate my e mail addresses using Mac Mail in Mavericks?

    Hi All, moving from my beloved Snow Leopard to Mavericks has not been good.
    In Mac Mail I have a mix of POP (my main accounts) and IMAP (G Mail) accounts.
    Since installing Mavericks the e mail addresses are now all lumped together (as on an iPad) and I do not want this!
    Please advise how I can go back to separate addresses listed as before? Help! I choose to prioritise my e mails and a whole lot at once is so not where I want to be! (And it does not look as stylish as before!)
    Thank You!

    Answered!  Ok, I am trudging my way through Mavericks and it seems I have my separate Mail boxes back. 
    I have to say that I do not like the look of Mavericks. It was so clean, simple and smart before. It feels kind of messy but maybe I need lots more time to get used to it .But so far, a bit sad I've upgraded to Mavericks. I did it first on my Mac Book before doing so on my iMac and at the mo I am not going to!

  • HT4623 I have an apple ID account with $25.00, I purchased an kids game app {plants vs zombies},  the app shows up as purchased and downloaded but I can't get it to start. I'm using an Hp laptop with Windows 8.

    I hav an apple ID account with balance of $25,00. I used .99 to buy gameapp for grandson. We also downloaded a freebie or two. The games show up under the apps purchased.  However I can not get the games to start using my HP laptop with windows 8.  Any suggestions on how to play games purchase thru the Apple App Store but played on android deices.? Tkx

    You can only use apps from iTunes on iPhone devices.
    If you want apps for Android devices then you'll need to download the app on the Google Play Store on your Android devices.
    If you don't have the Google Play Store you could dowload if from Google.
    Windows 8 also has there own App Store.

  • Something in my computer is preventing me form accessing a website I once was web-mistress of. I have tried removing keychains related to it - but still can't get access.

    I am trying to open a specific page on the web. I used to be the webmistress of it, but now the domain has migrated from blogger to wordpress, I cannot open it. I am the only one in the universe who can't, so it must be the computer  - have tried all browsers to no avail. All other web pages load, so it's not my service provider. What could be preventing my computer from access? It MUST be the computer unable to see the page for some reason.

    You, or someone using your computer, may have hacked the system to redirect queries to certain servers. The file modified is /etc/hosts.
    The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below. Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data. This is a simple procedure, but if you don't follow the instructions exactly, you could be left with an unbootable system. In that case, you'll have to restore from a backup or reinstall OS X.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    open -e /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1                              localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1                                        localhost
    fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
    Below that, you'll see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
    If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
    sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
    If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
    That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

  • Pls help - Thunderbird still can't recognise my new email - have followed online guides + set MX records but still can't get TB to recognise - spent over a day

    Hi,
    I am trying to set up my new business email account (3rd party - netregistry from Australia) [email protected] onto my Thunderbird account.
    I have new domain with wordpress exploreyogatravel.com
    Trying to get new email onto Thunderbird - have set MX record for netregistry on wordpress. Have manually configured mail account on TB (pop/port/ etc) per netregistry instructions). Have spoken to netregistry on a number of occasions - they now feel it is at the TB or WP end.
    TB still can't locate settings for my email account when I manually set up as following and I have wasted so much time on this.
    (incoming - pop3 - pop.exploreyogatravel.com - 995 - SSL/TLS - normal password
    outgoing - SMTP - smtp.exploreyogatravel.com - 465 - ssl/tls - normal password
    username incoming - [email protected] outgoing - same)
    Please help what I need to do to get this sorted.
    Regards
    Mariska

    I think your latest issue will reside in your anti virus package.
    Disable email scanning. The setup routine tries to connect to the server 8 ways to Sunday to establish the correct settings. The Anti virus program thinks there is mail coming, steps up to the plate and makes a total disaster out of something that was often not all the pretty anyway. To make matters worse, because of the quick fire scanning some then just decide it is malware trying to spam people and blocks it in the firewall.
    Next check the firewall (particularly the pesky Norton one if installed) and ensure Thunderbird has full access to the internet. Auto is not sufficient. That is usually what got us where we are, manually fiddling with settings.
