IMessage doesn't recognize email addresses
Hello,
I'm having trouble sending iMessage messages to my contacts. Their email addresses aren't read as the ones registered to iMessage even if they are the Apple IDs.
I need to wait for someone to initiate an iMessage conversation before I can write them. Please help. Thanks
Thanks, ckuan.
Actually, I noticed that my gmail contacts register as imessage-able. I verified with my Yahoo! contacts and they say theyre using the correct yahoo! email address for their imessage. Does it take longer for Yahoo! to be verified as an iMessage device?

Server doesn't recognize email address
I can recieve email, but I can't send email. It keeps saying "server doesn't recognize email address."
Ok,
I have it working finally.
On a whim, I tried deleting the iCloud account (again) and reinstated it.
I set it up using [username]@me.com, and all is well.
This is the 2nd time i set it up this way, so I would suggest trying it again, if you have already.

Exchange account doesn't recognize email address
I recently got a new work email address using the new .brussels domain extension (instead of the old .be). For some reason OSX Yosemite doesn't accept this e-mail address when I set up my new Exchange account info. I had the same problem on my work PC but our IT guy managed to make Windows understand that .brussels is a perfectly normal email address. Is there any chance to make OSX accept the new (and a bit unconventional) domain extension?

I've got the same problem. Is there a way to turn this off?
Unfortunately, the ISP's have been catching so much flak for spewing spam that they have resorted to methods to protect their reputations regardless of how you want to work.
The most obvious spam in the world is a message with a large number of recipients.
PC users can not be trusted by their ISP's because their machines are infested so often with programs designed to spread spam.
If an ISP is accused of sending too much Spam they run the risk of getting dumped to the "Black Hole" by other ISP's and that damages the ISP's ability to do business. Hence the reason for the ISP's to get involved. They never cared much before now, until it started affecting their business.
So, because of the trash and bull that's been going on with the Trojan Programs on Windows machines for the last 4 years, I don't think you can do much, except to try other mail servers that may not interfere with your messages. If you get your own domain on a host, you own the mail server. Maybe that's an answer... -
Mail doesn't recognize email address I'm sending to
I'm trying to send an email to a group in my address book but whenever I try to send it I get the error message:
"The server “smtp.mac.com” did not recognize the following recipients:" and then lists most of the email addresses I'm sending to.
I don't think I could have that many of the email addresses wrong, so I have no idea what's wrong. Does anyone have any advice?{quote}

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified because it is already in use ??? What am I doing wrong?
settings -> iTunes & App Store
click on apple ID listed there
select Sign Out
sign in with the proper account
from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID -
Safari doesn't recognize http addresses
When I input:
http://www.devon-technologies.com/files/academy/devonthink/videos/videotutorial- 1.mov
to safari, I get the error message:
Safari can’t open “http://www.devon-technologies.com/files/academy/devonthink/videos/videotutorial- 1.mov” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “http:”.
Huh? firefox had no problems opening the page.Thanks for the response. Two questions:
1. I should know this, but it's been a long time, how do I create a new account? I know the account manager will allow to designate the new account as an admin.
2. Why is a new account needed? -
I recently tried to download a pdf file from a website in the UK. Up popped a message saying the website could not be accessed, followed by this message: "MAC OSX doesn't recognize internet addresses starting with "c:". I was able to access the website easily (its domain was "www") and the page listing the pdfs, but could not download a pdf. Of course," c:" appears not to be a valid domain name, but why would anyone use "c:" in place of a domain name in their URL? And what can I do about the problem? I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10, but also have Firefox and Chrome loaded. Thanks.
An address starting with c: wouldn't be any kind of domain name. C: is the drive lettering system DOS and and later uses. By default, A: and B: are reserved for your first and second floppy disk drive. All hard drives are then named C: through Z:, if you have that many. C: is normally your startup disk.
Anyway, their PDF file is incorrectly linked to a file directly on the C: drive of someone's computer. It's not going to work no matter what you do. -

Though i am signed into Apple ID with new credentials (all correct) the iMessage shows my old email address
I can therefore not sign in
Any suggestions please?Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
Apple ID security issues -
Call Apple Care and ask for the Account Security Team. They can assist you with your issue of recovering the old Apple ID. -
Mac OS X doesn't recognize Internet addresses starting with "lastfm:".
I am running Safari 5.0.2 on Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
I am unable to open my last.fm radio streams in the browser. I receive the message:
Safari can’t open the specified address.
Safari can’t open “lastfm://user/tivorion/recommended” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “lastfm:”.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.It seems addresses starting with lastfm:// are opened in the Last.fm Scrobbler.
To listen to my radio streams, I had to go to http://www.last.fm/listen
Problem solved. -

Why doesn't my email address work for apps
Why doesn't my email address work on my envy printer?
You don't give us anything like enough data to go on. What is your operating system? Do you have a functioning iCloud account - i.e. are you signed in in System Preferences>iCloud?
Were you originally a MobileMe subscriber? If so, did you migrate to iCloud?
Was your email still working recently? Do you get any error messages? What happens when you try to use it?
Have you been using an @icloud.com address or an @me.com address?
(Please do not post your email address when answering.) -

After upgrading to IOS Yosemite, Thunderbird will no longer send emails to the contacts in my history file that drops down when I "write" a new message. I continue to get a return response that there is a syntax error in the address field of the message although I have tried both my stored emails and manually typed email addresses. What has been changed and how do I recover the use of Thunderbird's great program?
By the way, how do I eliminate out of date email addresses from popping up and populating email responses rather than the most current ones that are in my contacts? I now have to type each one in separately as the default options that come up are many out of date.
Thanks much for your great work. Mozilla and Firefox are the best.Did you find a solution to this issue? My mail server is doing the same thing. I've tried six migrations now, and have a couple of tickets open, but they all have issues. I have worked around all of them except the mail server problem.
I did some more digging; the problem appears to be that on a migrated server, it leaves all of your mail store in the old location, doesn't move it, and then doesn't appear to upgrade spam-assassin properly. The net effect is that the mail server gets the SMTP communication, tries to pass the message into spam assassin, and then it goes south.
I see errors like this littered in the logs:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: No such file or directory
