I need a permanent fix for the 'mail server not found' bug (iPad 2 3G)

This problem started happening on my iPad 2 (3G AT&T) about 2 months ago. I found the fix posted numerous times on this forum> delete your mail applications & reinstall them which I did (deleted & reinstalled both my gmail & yahoo accts). Same problem reappeared about 2 wks later so I repeated the fix. It happened a 3rd time this wk so I repeated this fix a THIRD time before I left town a few days ago. Here I am 3 days later & it's back AGAIN.  FYI...ALL the apps are up to date on my iMac & iPad 2.  Can anyone tell me when the fix for this bug is going to be released & what the work-around is?

You have to purchase a data plan to use 3G data but you don't have to purchase a data plan for the iPad to work.  You will have full function of the device without a data plan, as long as you have wifi available.
I also have an iPad2 3G.  I only sign up for 3G service when I need it, i.e. travelling for an extended period.  The rest of the time, I just use wifi at home or whereever I can.

    this is what you need to do to exclude everything apart from desktop.
    on time machine preferences, click on Options
    click plus sign, on the new window, click macintosh HD
    do a Control + A then deselect users then click okay
    go to options again, plus sign, go to users, control +A then deselect your user account
    go to options again, plus sign, go to your user account, control + A, deselect desktop
    start the back up.

  • HT6065 When do we get a proper fix for the Mail App?

    When do we get a proper fix for the Mail app on my iMac? The last one made things worse. Or ta least, how can I roll back the OS to Mountain Lion?

    Thanks for the reply Varjak,
    Mail has stopped refreshing as it should. When I click the get new mail envelope, there used to be a sound after around five seconds if there were no new notifications. When I try that now the program just hangs. When I look at 'Force Quit', which incidentally I have to open another app or Finder window in order to access because Mail freezes totally, including the Apple menu, it says that Mail isn't responding. The Mac won't shut down sometimes because Mail won't quit. If I manage to open a mail and then go to another inbox, the whole thing is liable to hang. Using Apple help just before Christmas I cleared out the old cache that M.Lion left behind and now there isn't a cache for Mail.
    We are on Tiscali Broadband through a multi-port router and usually getting around 11Mb download speeds. My mail addresses are either tiscali.co.uk or gmail. It will not successfully send group mails either, despite the upgrade before Christmas. I never had a problem with M.L. and Mail. From looking at the Forums it seems I am not alone here. I also have a windows pc and an iPhone and they both access my mail addresses without any problem.
    Cheers,

  • Can't setup Gmail account - "Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "

    Since upgrading to Yosemite I can't add one of my gmail accounts.
    It's my business domain which is hosted with GMAIL. It worked before the upgrade. Now adding the email address in 'internet accounts setup'  I get the message "Can't setup Gmail account - "Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "
    Mail will not let me setup an email account directly in mail either.
    There seems to be major problems with mail in this update.
    Also SMTP keeps failing.
    Yosemite is a disaster.

    Try this. I saw this solution elsewhere on the boards here.
    When setting up a business gmail account, something other than @gmail.com, when you try to add the account in Mail preferences, don't select Google as the account type. Choose, "Other." Fill out the name, email and password as usual. Worked great for me after having similar issues trying to get my business gmail account to work in Yosemite.

  • Problem: Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "Unknown"

    I have a problem setting up my internet accounts on the System Preferences.
    This message always comes up,
    Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server “Unknown”.
    Thanks

    In Mail's Add Account dialog, enter the account information, then hold down the option key and click Continue. Finish setting up the account manually.

  • Script Component WebService Binary code for the script is not found

    I am using SSIS 2012 to access a Public Web Service
     http://marketinformation.natgrid.co.uk/MIPIws-public/public/publicwebservice.asmx
    However, when adding reference to WebService (not Service Reference),
    I receive the dreaded msg "Binary code for the script is not found"
    I have spent an age ploughing through the forums.
    Many replies seem to suggest not using Script Component to acces WebService.
    Should I write a .NET app  ?
    Any thoughts how I should proceed would be most welcome.
    thanks JohnJames

    Hi JohnJames,
    If I understand correctly, you already add this public web service via Add Service Reference option in the Script Component. Then you receive the error message when you trying to call the bindings and Contract settings stored in app.config file to access
    the web service.
    Please note that we cannot all the web service normal way as SSIS Script Component task doesn’t recongnise the app.config file. To fix this issue, we should define the BINDINGS via code rather than depending on the App.config file. For more details, please
    see the following blog:

  • The binary code for the script is not found error for the Script component - SSIS 2012

    Hi,
    I'm implementing a SSIS 2012 pkg. For a data flow task, I'm using a Visual Basic 2010 script component with an Oracle input flow. For the script component I've an input column and I've created an output column. Inside the script code I've edited only inside
    Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer).
    The written code is:
    If Year(Row.OFFDATAORI) < 1900 Then
    Row.OFFDATAORIconv = CDate(CStr("1900" + "-" + Right("00" + CStr(Month(Row.OFFDATAORI)), 2) + "-" + Right("00" + CStr(DatePart(DateInterval.Day, Row.OFFDATAORI)), 2))
    Else : Row.OFFDATAORIconv = Row.OFFDATAORI
    End If
    It is to note that OFFDATAORI isn't the name of the input column for the script component.
    When I close the script component I've an error about "The binary code for the script is not found".
    Any helps to me, please?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I've solved. There was a syntax error, a bit hidden.

  • Most of the time, when I try to load the home page, I get the message server not found - now I get this message and can't go anywhere

    I have dial up - once I connect to the internet, I get the message server not found and am unable to go anywhere on the internet. This started trying to load my banks online site and started about a week ago. I've tried freeing popup blocker, gone through the settings with a bank IT specialist, tried to us IE which has resulted in a request for a cable and now no access to any website. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Every time I open Firefox and type in a URL, I get the message "Server not found. Firefox can't find the server at..." All I have to do is hit the "Try again" button and it finds it. However, this is getting tiresome. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    This is an ongoing issue.

  • Need a spam killer for the Mail app

    I am very disappointe hwo the Mail app handles spams so I would like to hear suggestions
    on a Spam Killer app that you have good experience with
    Junk It boast to tracks messages and keeps score of who offends you the most.
    That seems to me a nice feature
    Other features I would like:
    -spam mails should bounce back to the spammer
    -a log who are those spammers and to send complaint automatically the the internet provider
    What other features are useful ?

    I've found SpamSieve to be very effective in catching spam.
    I would also like that the mails bounce back to the spammer
    Please, never bounce spam. Most spam has forged 'From' addresses so all you are doing is sending yet more spam to totally innocent people (who are probably already getting a lot of bounces because of this) and making a bad situation worse. Even if the 'From' address is genuine, I very much doubt any spammer is going to remove your address from a huge list  (they certainly would get a lot of bounces from actually dead addresses) - and in any case they can probably tell it's not a genuine bounce easily enough, so now you've just confirmed that your address works. Don't bounce it - just delete and forget.
    I need a log who are those spammers and to send complaint automatically the the internet provider
    This is the same thing - most spam has forged 'From' addresses using innocent parties' addresses so all you are doing is making things worse for them when they are probably already getting a lot of bounced spam.

  • Is there a permanent fix for the Acrobat Organizer database damaged issue?

    I am constantly applying the fix for this. Is there a known reason this is happening so we are able to prevent it in the future? Adobe obviously knows about the issue, is a fix being worked on?

    Hi amr1119,
    Sorry to hear that you are having issues with installing the latest version of iTunes. I understand that you have done a lot of research into this, but was curious if when you tried to launch the iTunes installer file  did you right click and Run as Administrator? Try that and some of the other steps, if needed, in the article below.

  • Is there any fix for the flashplayer installer not working on a windows 7, 64-bit, using firefox?

    I Hit the download link, get the permission windows, and the flashplayer installer window comes up, but doesn't do anything. i left it up all day when i went to work, come home 12 hours later and it was still just sitting there not installing. Is there a fix for this? i have looked everywhere and nothing that i have found has worked. even the suggestions on the adobe help page doesn't work..

    And you used the offline installers from the link that Andy posted:
    Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
    Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI
    If yes, please post the contents of the FlashInstall.log file in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash

  • Settings NOT saved for the iPod, because- not found

    I've a lot of regular changes to make when updating my music library on my iPod. But when I'm in the middle of doing so - that is using TAB "Music" (which "Sync Music" enabled) - and checking all relevant playlists, an error appears:
    "The settings were not saved for the iPod “<my iPod name>” because it could not be found."
    I don't know what to do because the only related articles all dates back to… 2007! That's 5 years ago!!!
    Of course I tried all the solutions of 2007, and when I do other errors occur like:
    "iPod sync failed" OR… my iPod simple disappears from the list (and even DEVICES doesn't shows up anymore in the left pane).
    THANKS for helping me.

    Can you post a link to the article you are referring to?
    I assume you have tried using a nother USB sync cable to help rule out the possibility of a faulty one?  What about plugging the iPod into a different USB port on your Mac?
    It might help to remove any other USB devices you have connected to the Mac. Then reboot the Mac as well as your iPod by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Then try to resync.
    Could you provide the full text from the error messages you are referring to?
    Make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3).

    You could also delete the Yahoo email account from your phone then add the account back in. That will redo all the settings for the account. Sometimes that is easier than going through all the settings.
