If you're having trouble w/ ports 995 and 465...

Hi,
Please see this other thread that I created, specifically my posts of Nov. 24 and Nov. 25:
http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Verizon-net-Email/Email-I-received-regarding-changing-settings-by-Dec-2...
Since many other people seem to be running into this problem, I'm creating this new thread in the hope that it will help.
I have the Yahoo portal, so my server settings are incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
When I changed ports to 995 and 465 using SSL in Thunderbird, I was unable to receive and send e-mail.
Finally I read that it was possible that my modem/router (an old Westell 327w) was blocking the ports. Supposedly the device blocked the ports by default. One solution offered was to lower my firewall setting to LOW. I did that, and presto! I am now able to use the required settings in Thunderbird with no problem.
However, I'm not happy about having to lower my firewall settings and would like to eventually find another solution.
I'd like to hear from anyone using a desktop email client like Thunderbird who never had any trouble with the new settings. Would you be willing to share what type of modem/router you have from Verizon? Then I would look into getting one of those.
Other info that might help -- I'm still using Win XP SP3. I just have Verizon High-Speed Internet, not FIOS.
I hope this helps other people, and I hope to get some info on newer modem/routers that don't block ports 995 and 465.
Thanks!

Even though Disk Utility First Aid 'repaired' the drive I would still not rely on DU to find and fix errors. Nor continue to rely on LaCie.
Usually when there is a problem the FW ports need to be 'reset' which seems to be a LaCie feature or only happens with their cases.
And yes, use SuperDuper or Drive Genius 2 so you have bootable backups. But sadly 3rd party disk repair and maintenance are essential and a must. Don't wait until DU First Aid does find an error it can't fix, DW finds and fixes problems Apple doesn't.

    If you mean you are having trouble activating your iPhone after
    updating to iOS 6:
    iOS 6.0.1
    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    My phone is from USA and unlocked version and I paid 750 USD.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    USA
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    I used BSNL - India previously. After I get problem, I used Mobily -Saudi Arabia again I got problem and I am trying to use Airtel - India.
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does It mean?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
    Airtel 13.0

  • Firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page. What can I do?

    After opening certain websites, pogo, firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
    I have had this problem before and had to reinstall an earlier version of firefox.
    The error console has a long list of errors, many of them end with: does not implement nsIObserver. Is there a way to send the information on the error console to firefox support?
    Redownloading Firefox 4.0 will fix my problem until I either close firefox or turn off my computer. The problem recurs when I open firefox again.

  • Having trouble with wav files and sample rates

    Hi ,I am having trouble with wav files and sample rates .I have been sent multiple projects on wav as the main instrumental ; I wish to record in 48.000kHz .Now comes the problem.When I try to change the project to 48k It seems to pitch up the track.I can't have them send the logic/project file as most have outboard synths,different plug ins etc.This particular case the producer has recorded the synth task in 41.000 kHz .My successful outcome would be to be able t create a project file in 48 kHz .And NOT pitch up whne I add the instrumenta wav file .Any help would be gratefully recieved,this is my first post so any mistakes I may have made go easy 

    You'll have to convert the actual synth audio file file that the producer gave you to 48kHz. You can do this in the audio Bin in Logic.

  • I'm having trouble using the iTunes and Apps store because i can't register my Nigerian mastercard. What should i do. i'm trying to register it in the Nigerian iTunes store.

    I'm having trouble using the iTunes and Apps store because i can't register my Nigerian mastercard. What should i do. i'm trying to register it in the Nigerian iTunes store.

    Is this a new Apple iD? If it is, and you have already set it up, then you have two options:
    1.     Temporarily put a Credit Card or Gift Card on the account to download the free app. If you put a credit card, then once you have downloaded the app, you should be able to go into your Account preferences and change the payment option to = None.
    2.     You can download the fee App, and then set up a new Apple ID.

  • I just paid the $9,99 a month to have access to Photoshop and lightroom.  I am having trouble installing the programs and when I installed on Photoshop it said "trial"- this isn't suppose to be a trial but  a resource I pay for monthly for a year right?

    What turns the trial into the live software is signing in. If you sign in with the Adobe ID that has the subscription, the trial becomes live. First check your account on Adobe.com to make sure that the subscription is live.

    I am having trouble saving my swatches and brushes that I create. After I close Illustrator, and come back later my swatches and brushes are gone.

    Once you have a document with the swatches, brushes, symbols that you want, save it as a new Document Profile.
    Document profiles can be found (and saved) in Library > Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator 18 (if you have CC) > your language folder > New Document Profiles.
    Next time you create a document you will find it in the list of profiles.

  • I am having trouble authorizing my computer and ipad and iPhone  help

    I am having trouble authorizing my computer and syncing ALL music, tones, etc. between Mac, iphone, and ipad.

    Did you use different Apple IDs purchasing your content? If so, you need to activate your Mac with all existing Apple IDs... even the ones you don't use anymore. This should do.
    In iTunes go to Menubar and click on "Store" -> Activate this computer

    Flash plugin keeps crashing. Following directions here, I tried to reset firefox and get error message "Well this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page."

    If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more recent crash reports that have a "bp-" prefix:
    *bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
    You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the <i>about:crashes</i> page.

    Try to set the Flash plug to click-to-play by setting the permissions for Flash to "Ask To Activate" in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins".
    That way you can activate the Flash plugin when you need it via the Lego block icon on the location bar.

    I replaced my iPad with a new one. I backed up to iCloud but did not do a physical iTune Sync. Now I am having trouble recovering some Notes and Photos. I have been reinstalling Apps from the App Store. How do I recover my Notes?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
    Sync Calendars:
    Your calendars are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

  • I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store.

    I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store.   When synching, the process tops at the back up stage, freezes and I can't close the iTunes window, need to ctrl alt del.   When trying to access the store, the progress bar stops halfway.   I've googled heaps and tried most of the standard answers - unistall, reinstall, etc, now looking for some help please.
    This has only started a few weeks back, after working smoothly for the 2 years of owning the iPhone 3gs.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated, it's getting realy frustrating.

  • HT1689 I am having trouble with my appleid and password. I have changed to a new id and password, however whenever I updat an app it continues to give me my old applid and i  do not have a password for this account because it no longer exists

    I am having trouble   getting my updates on my apps. The email address no longer exists. I have set up a new appleid and password. However my old email address keeps showing up and I do not know the password. Can anyone help me?

    Items are permanantly associated with a single AppleID used at the time of the purchase.
    You will have to contact Apple about the non-working e-mail and forgotten password.  It's kind of like going to the police and saying you know that red car in the corner of the parking lot is yours but you don't have the papers for it and you have lost the key to the door.
    http://www.apple.com/contact/ - many contact options, including web site feedback and legal.
    Apple ID Support - http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/  -> Apple ID FAQ -->
    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See How to change the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
