I lost connectivity from my mail aol account, and can not use mail to email, the email account is off line. What do I need to change to bring the account in line? The take accounts online function will not allow it to go on line

Operating system is the 10.5.8

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, just confirming that you realize you can always access your AOL email account by going directly to www.aol.com from the Safari browser (or Firefox, Chrome, etc.) until you get the Apple Mail problem fixed.
If you cannot connect directly through a browser, it's quite possible that AOL is doing maintenance or having a temporary problem. It happens with surprising frequency to most online hosts. I usually check downrightnow.com, but AOL is not one of the services for which they collect trouble reports.
Reconnecting your Apple Mail to your AOL account:
In the Apple Mail menubar, click on the Mailbox, Get New Mail, and highlight the AOL account.
You should see the 'spinning wheel' next to the account name for a moment while your AOL mail is retrieved.
That should successfully reconnect you.
Occasionally my ISP seems to corrupt a few packets and I'll get a message that all my external email account password are rejected, and asks me to re-enter them. Instead of re-entering passwords, I click 'cancel', and use this same procedure to re-connect.
NOTE: I'm on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6, and Mail 4.5 (1084) but I believe the process to reconnect did not change since OS X 10.5 Leopard.

    As Ethmoid says, it is still a CDMA phone as I told you earlier, and it will not work with t-mobile. Even if Sprint unlocked the phone, it would only unlock the GSM side for international use. They will not unlock the GSM side for domestic use in the US.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

  • LaserJet 1102W lost connection to network after firmware update and can't reconnect.

    I have used the LaserJet 1102W on my Wifii network for some time.  I use MacOSX 10.7 on one laptop and OSX 10.8 on my new Retina Macbook Pro.  I updated the firmware to get access to ePrint and lost wirless connections.  I have tried many times to reestablish network connection as instructed thru System Preferences and continue to get the response that my Wep Key is invalid.  I have many items using the Wep key including apple tv, phone, ipad and it is the correct wep key.  My network is Wep 128.  Is there some way I'm suppose to split the key between the 4 available wep key spaces?  My router is a Linksys WRT320N, Mac Book Air running 10.7.4, Mac Book Pro running 10.8.2.  I have been trying to setup the network wireless with the Mac Book Air.  I can print with both computers via USB.

    I updated a P1102w that we have here to firmware version 20120814 and haven't had any problems with it. I set a static IP and set the DNS to a preferred of 8.8.8.8 and an alternate of 8.8.4.4, and haven't had a problem with anything from a Windows system. I ran into a problem printing from Safari on a Mac running OS 10.8, but that was the only program with the problem. I even turned the printer off and back on several times to make sure the IP settings would stick, and they have. If you've done that and are still having problems, try power cycling your entire network. I'll link a document that will help to get the printer on the network steadily below. If you are still in warranty, HP may replace the printer at no cost to you. I'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link will take you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it out and it is processed, it will give you the printers warranty information, a case number, and the phone number to call.

    Just updated from snow leopard to yosemite and can't use or update iPhoto- help??

    i tried to download the free iPhoto 9.6 app but i can't.
    Where did you try to download that? This looks like you tried to download an updater.

    Launch the App Store.
    Sign in with your AppleID in the Store menu.
    Click the first tab "Featured" and enter iphoto into the search field. Hit the "Return/Enter" key.
    You should be seeing something similar to this:
    If you see iPhoto, download it.

  • HT1694 My hotmail access disappeared from my iPad. When I go to settings and click 'mail, contacts, calendars' the page freezes. It doesn't allow me to the account setting. Anyone have suggestions?

    My hotmail access disappeared from my iPad. When I go to settings and click 'mail, contacts, calendars' the page freezes. It doesn't allow me to the account setting. Anyone have suggestions?

    Your Settings app is crashing. Sometimes, the only way to fix this is by restoring the iOS software but hopefully it will not come to that.
    1. Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    2. 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.
    3. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
