Internet Accounts Presences can't connect to the account "Gmail"

Hello, Checking the settings on Yosemite I found that on Settings, accounts, I've been checking iCloud, keychain, and I have other 2 gmail accounts that are constantly requesting for a password, no matter how many times you put the right password always get this message

I'll pass this along to all. I have the same smtp issue. I have two Cox email accounts and a number of Gmail accounts. The Cox smtp server goes offline. Gmail is fine. Yesterday I began pressing every button and the following worked, why, beats me.
Open MAIL got to MAIL PULLDOWN then PREFERENCES then ACCOUNTS then SELECT THE EMAIL ACCOUNT and look at ACCOUNT INFORMATION - now at the bottom hit the ARROW at OUT GOING MAIL SERVER (SMTP) which brings up a list of severs SELECT EDIT SMTP SEVER LIST. now this bring up a list of servers  HIT THE ADVANCED BUTTON which brings the properties of the highlighted server below. LOOK AT THE TWO PORT BOXES.
The first selection says USE DEFAULT PORTS (25 465 587)
The second selection asks you to ENTER CUSTOM PORT.
FOR COX: The Cox website says to use port 465. I SELECTED CUSTOM PORT AND ENTERED PORT 465 and exited Preferences AND IT WORKED!!!
So far so good today.
I have no idea whether this has any relevance to the rest of you using other email servers so good luck.

  • Ipad keeps asking me to sign into iCloud.  The problem is, I can't connect to the internet to do this because it keeps popping up.  It's a 'catch 22'.

    A pop up on my iPad keeps asking for my iCloud password, however, when I give it, it doesn't matter because I am not connected to the internet.  I CAN'T connect to the internet because of the popup.  How can I get rid of the pop up so I can connect?

    You have bought the book but have you previously downloaded it to your iPad?  If you go to your books collection and there is a little cloud icon on the cover of the book with a down arrow that means it's not stored on your device and you would need an internet connection to read/download it.  If that's not the problem and Demo's suggestions don't work how about trying this desperate move:  Settings > Airplane Mode  (turn on)     And try again.   Do you have other downloaded books in your collection?  If so do they act the same way or do they open ok?  If they open then there is something corrupt about that particular book in which case I would delete it and re download it when you have access to the internet.

  • When setting up new godaddy pop mail account, I get this error: Internet Accounts preferences can't connect to the account

    Trying to set-up new godaddy mail account. Walked through it with the godaddy rep, so the settings are correct. It is a pop account and I merely want it to function within Mail. (I have other accounts like it that work with no problem.) However, when I try to go online with the account, I get this error message: "Internet Accounts Preferences can't connect to the account..." It then prompts me to enter the password for the account and says it is "Unable to verify account or password."
    Godaddy says it is an Apple Mail issue because the account works fine in their Workspace. I sent test messages and when I login at godaddy, the messages are there. However, for some reason, Mail won't connect to it. Any ideas?
    Thank you. I'm running OS X, version 10.9.4.

    Yes. The account is there. There's just a verification with password issue. I had to change my password at Godaddy to include caps, special character, etc., and reinstall the account. Then I had to tweet the settings a bit. But think I have it resolved. Thanks.

  • Some of my Mac apps can´t connect to the internet, while Firefox can

    All of a sudden, Safari, ITunes, Software Update, can´t connect to the internet.  It happens in my office and in my house.  Have not checked other networks.  Firefox wors fine, as does Mail (for now).  What can be the problem?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    As Guest, test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • I can't connect to the iTunes Store in my sons iPad, every other apple device we have is working fine. Internet is working also, what should I do?

    Can anyone help me figure out why I can't connect to the iTunes Store through my iPad? My iPhone and iPod touch and computer are working just fine

    Do other apps connect to the internet on the iPad ? If they do then have you tried logging out and back into the account on it (Settings > iTunes & App Store), disconnecting and reconnecting to your network, and/or tried a soft-reset ?

  • Why (out of the blue) airport extreme can't connect to the internet?

    Suddenly the airport extreme on my macbook pro (10.6.8) decided to completely stop working. the modem/router work fine as i tested them with another computer and i've brought my macbook to another house and tested it there and the same thing happens.  if i'm hardwired via ethernet cable the internet works like normal. which is what i'm doing now.
    the wireless icon on the top of the screen shows full strength and when i click on it it shows my network with a check mark next to it but if i try to open a browser window it won't work. opening network preferences shows that airport is not connected and it does not have an IP address and can't connect to the internet. if i open airport utility (5.6.1) it says "airport utility unable to find any airport wireless devices".
    everything was working fine a few days ago.
    what's going on?

    The same thing happened to me, and I took it to get looked at and they even replaced my base station, but then it kept disconnecting. I finally  found the answer that solved my problem, but now I can't find the post that solved it to direct you toward. So I'll try to re-create it as best as I can.
    Like that user, I have Xfinity. The other user had received this assistance from Comcast tech support (Which is sad that Comcast was more helpful than ... anyone ... but especially Apple), so if it doesn't work they should be able to help fill the gaps. Chances are, you may be better off getting assistance from your ISP than from Apple.
    Basically, Comcast switched over to IPv6, and it needs to be accounted for or else the AEBS will drop the signal from the DSL modem.
    1. Open Airport Utility
    2. Click Edit on your AEBS icon.
    3. Click the Internet tab.
    4. Click Internet Options.
    5. Make sure IPv6 Mode is set to "Tunnel."
    6. Click the "Enable IPv6 Connection Sharing" radio button so that it's active.
    7. Save changes, Update the new settings, and let the AEBS restart with the new changes.
    I fixed it a couple of days ago, and it's worked perfectly since then.
    Here's the post that fixed it. https://discussions.apple.com/message/21916742#21916742
    Here's the Comcast information the post refers to. http://www.comcast6.net/index.php/6to4config#faq3

  • After update I can't connect to the internet in no way, shape or form

    I rarely update because: 1) something always breaks when you update (like now) and 2) I don't like to deal with new crap like GNOME 3. Anyway:
    I bought a new router (TL-WR1043N) and configured it with an old Ubuntu because connecting to 192.168.1.1 didn't work on any of my Arch Linux installations. Now... here's where it all starts... I can't use the 'n' wireless on my laptop since I have to install something to use WPA, and to install that I need to update, but I don't want to deal with GNOME 3 and Firefox >3. But I gave up eventually gave up and connected my laptop to the router by Ethernet cable. Setting that up was very easy: 'ifconfig eth0 up; dhcpcd'. Voila! I updated my whole system and restarted. To see how badly I damaged my system I opened Nautilus (I use Openbox with some GNOME programs): shock and dismay, the fonts are visible from the moon. I guess I'll have to quit using GNOME programs completely now but I expected that. I used to use KDE back in the day and when KDE4 came forth from that unholy pit, I immediately abandoned it for GNOME. This time we had more time to prepare, everybody knew what GNOME 3 was going to be. I started using Openbox quite a long time ago.
    Anyway: Now to fix my wireless right? WRONG! I can't connect to the internet on cable to get the packages for wireless. I installed Windows 7 64 on the same laptop and it connects to the cable. Ubuntu 9.10 Live also connects, but due to the changes of rc.conf and network stuff I can't connect at all with Arch Linux.
    So I decided to abandon it completely and reinstall from scratch. But the Live CD also doesn't work. With all the ways I've tried it all comes down to this:
    dhcpcd always times out waiting for a carrier and 'ip addr' shows 'eth0: <NO-CARRIER, ....' if the interface is up. I'm not sure what information I should give you, but I can't paste any here since I can't connect to the damn internet on that laptop.
    About the router: the cable is plugged on port 1 and the LED for it flashes if I reboot the computer. In Windows it stops flashing while it connects and flashes again when connected. I removed 'network' from DAEMONS and it flashes till I start it with '/etc/rc.d/network start'. This hangs for a while and returns '[DONE]' even though it doesn't work and the LED never flashes again on the router.
    In rc.conf I have exactly what the example says for DHCP. In any case, it doesn't work with the Live CD either.
    EDIT 1: From lscpi: painstakingly typed:
    06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
    07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconducctor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)
    EDIT 2: Just to be clear: I can use the wireless on the laptop on the Live CD, but I want to use the cable because of the greater speed (94Mbit/s on cable 60 something on wireless n, 20 something on g) and because I rarely move the laptop.
    EDIT 3: lspci -v shows "Kernel driver in use: r8169   /   Kernel modules: r8169", so the driver is loaded.
    EDIT 4: So if I boot from the CD. ip addr shows:
    eth: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000
        link/ether 00:1d:92:...etc... brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    And  the LED flashes. When I type: "ifconfig eth0 up" it stops, never to light up again and ip addr shows: "eth: <nO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000
    Last edited by imtired (2011-09-08 12:36:51)

    When you're in Arch, use output redirection
    lspci >lspci.out
    then boot into Ubuntu or something where you can access the files and the BBS,  Of course, don't forget to use a new file for each command output.
    The new network config in rc.conf is not that complicated (wired anyway; never used wireless).  OTOH I've had issues on two machines where I have to restart the network daemon (rc.d restart network) or rerun netcfg (netcfg eth0) after boot to get connectivity. And I still haven't come to grips with the ip command.

  • Safari 5.1.1 can't connect to the internet.  Every other browser can.

    I've tried resetting Safari, reinstalling Safari, and resetting my router to factory settings.  Safari still can't connect to the internet, but everything else on my Mac (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) can. 
    I recently tried setting up Open DNS just because I've had problems with Comcast lately.  But I've since returned DNS to be detected automatically.
    Thoughts?

  • Can't connect to the internet right after boot up

    Hey guys, I have an interesting problem in which if I try to use internet right after boot up (via scripts) I can't resolve host names. However, if I try to use the internet right after boot up manually I can resolve host names. I had this problem with a script but I've since rewrote it to work around the problem; however I now seem to have this problem with openVPN and I need this to work. I'll use openVPN as my primary example but the situation was the same for my script.
    Basically, openVPN starts up via systemd and it can't resolve my server's host name. Even 18 hours later. I have 'resolv-retry infinite' in my conf file which as I understand says 'if you can't resolve the host name keep trying to resolve it indefinitely'. I left my computer on overnight and openVPN still could not connect to my server, despite me being able to ping it, have MySQL get data dumps and replicate from it and other software being able to resolve the server's host name. If I restart openVPN, then it works! I rebooted the computer and let it try for a few minutes to connect and it couldn't. I restarted openVPN manually and it resolved the server's host name, 5 minutes after the computer booted up even though it couldn't connect on it's own the previous night.
    Here's openVPN's status as of this post:

    Anyone have any idea what could be going on? It seems to me that when a program starts up it takes a snap shot of the current network status and it then uses it, even if it's 10 minutes later and the network has been fully loaded/configured, the program uses that snap shot and can't connect to the DNS.

    'Requires=network.target' wasn't in it so I added it but nothing's changed. I've left it in because openVPN does require network.
    As I said, I had this problem with a script so I don't think it's anything specific to openVPN. I had a weird occurrence this morning however. When I started the computer up this morning  openVPN worked just fine. However when the computer rebooted openVPN couldn't resolve the host address again.

    I have had my router set up for about three years.  It's always worked perfectly fine until the other day. I think that the router just died, but I'm not sure and I want to try and fix this one before I just go out and buy a new one.
    Basic Background Information:
    Model No:WRT54GC
    -The router is and always has been hooked up to a surge protector and there haven't been any other recent surges in my home.
    -When the wireless router is connected to the computer (using a functioning Ethernet cable ) I cannot connect to the internet or the router.  (I can't even put the IP into a browser and bring it up.  I also tried the factory setting IP, just incase it actually did reset, and that doesn't work either.)
    -When the router is plugged in I can't see it from any other wireless computer.  (I also checked for any new signals and did not see any after I reset the router.)
    -LEDs look like:
          *Power = solid green
          *Internet = solid green 
          *wireless = hard to tell - doesn't look like it's on at all
          *all other Ethernet pluggins = solid green
    What I've Tried So Far:
    -I couldn't connect to the internet so I plugged the modem directly into my computer.  -->  The internet works.
    -I tried unplugging the router, waiting, and then plugging it back in.  -->  I couldn't connect to the internet or the router.
    -I tried the reset button.  -->  I couldn't connect to the internet or the router.
    -I tried leaving the router unplugged all night and then plugging it in and starting the process all over again.  -->  I couldn't connect to the internet or the router.
    -I also tried downloading new firmware, but since I can't connect to the router through any of my browsers I am unsure how else to update the firmware. 
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Try upgrading your Router's firmware and then you can reconfigure your Router from the scratch...
    As you are not able to go online through router...you have to download the formware by connecting computer to the modem..
    Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
    Now reconnect the Modem to Router on Internet Port and from Computer to Router on Ethernet Port 1and now Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
    Now you can upgrade the firmware using TFTP utility...Download tftp utility.
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Double click the TFTP.exe file and click run.
    For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned.  By default, the router is 192.168.1.1...
    For Password- Enter the password you assigned the router. By default, the router’s password is “admin”.
    For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...
    Click Upgrade button to start upgrading.  A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
    Once the Upgrade is done press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

  • I was on my iPod touch 4G and I was connected to the Internet and I can not go on the App Store. I can go on Safari though. Can you help me?

    I was on my iPod touch 4G iOS 6.1.5 and I cannot go on the App Store. I was connected to the Internet, and I can still go on Safari. Please help me!

  • Can't connect to the internet

    Ok. so i did a search and didn't come across any other problems like the one I'm having.
    Let me start off by stating that my laptop is an ibook g4 bought feb, '06 (yes the apple care just ran out).
    I'm having a problem connecting to the internet on my ibook, running through a d-link wireless router. I'm using my imac to connect to the internet currently (which works fine by the way). It also is connected through the wireless router.
    My ibook has a strange ailment. I open up Safari and all I get is a blank screen, the page is trying to load but the status bar is going no where and does the same in Firefox. So first, I opened Network diagnostics, but the computer freezes and I have to do a hard shutdown. (holding the power button). Next, I tried Disk utility. Verified Permissions, Repaired Permissions, everything is fine. I tried to Verify Disk, and again the computer freezes, will not let me force quit and I am forced to do another hard shutdown. I do the thing where you hold down some key while you're starting up to get into the disk utility so I can repair the disk. This returns clean as well. I downloaded techtool off of my Applecare disk. Did the tests, everything passes. So what's the deal?? I've tried to reset the pram. I even did the Apple Hardware test, everything passed.
    I thought it could be my Airport card? It recognizes that there is an internet connection in the top right corner, I even have great signal strength (mostly because I've tried this sitting right next to the router). But still, I can't connect to the internet. Any one have any ideas? I don't know what else to try! Please help!

    so i can't believe i didn't try to connect it directly to the router with the ethernet cord. This actually worked. But it still didn't solve my wireless problem. I'm not willing to let my laptop become a desktop. I'm already wired to a plug b/c the battery is slowly dying and has a life of about 5 minutes. I'm not willing to give up my wireless internet too.
    I guess now it's got to be the airport card? how do I confirm this? and if it is how much would a new one cost and can I install it myself??

  • Can connect to my house network, but can't connect to the Internet (other computers can)

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing a strange problem. Since I started my Mac Pro (cold start) some hours ago, I've lost the hability to connect to the Internet (Safari and Mail say I'm not connected). However, I can connect to 192.168.2.1 (my router) and see its webpage (it says it's connected to the Internet). If I use another computer on the same network, it can also connect to the Internet.
    Weirder, if I go back to my Mac Pro with "no internet" and launch Parallels Desktop, then I can use WinXP to browse the Internet; I'm writing this post on my WinXP virtual machine.
    This leads me to think there's a problem with how my Mac OS handles the networking. I have checked the Console, but the only related string I found is this:
    16.04.13 22:03:25
    kernel
    SIOCPROTOATTACH_IN6: en2 error=17
    As expected, Google doesn't reveal anything about that (and I'm connected with the first ethernet port). I've tried to restart my Mac, but the problem persists (exact same symptoms).
    Could it be a DNS cache issue?
    I don't see, other than a DNS problem, why I can't connect to the Internet with my Mac OS while I can on my virtual machines. If it was a driver problem, I wouldn't be able to connect to my router. If it's a DNS issue, where are the DNS caches located in order to clear them (I'd trash the folder)?
    I could also reinstall the OS (waste of time, btw), but I'd really like to understand the problem, not just clear it and forget about it.
    Or better than guesses, anyone already experienced this?
    Any help welcome.

    If it's a DNS issue, where are the DNS caches located in order to clear them (I'd trash the folder)
    No DNS caches, it looks up the alphabetic and then uses the numberic from then on.
    http://17.149.160.49
    is Apple, Inc main US web site. It that works, and the alphabetic does not, you have a DNS probelm.

  • Extreme (b/g/n) can't connect to the internet

    my iMac has no problem seeing my airport extreme (b/g/n), but I can't connect to the internet.
    I have tried soft / hard reset & factory reset as well, none of them worked. The extreme just keep flashing its amber light.
    On my iMac, I have full signal bars, so recognizing the extreme is not a problem. The only thing I find strange is that the IP address (the one assigned by my ISP) is 0.0.0.1.
    I tried connecting through an Ethernet cable and it didn't have any problem, so it's not my ISP. The only thing I can thing of is that the extreme somehow is having trouble recognizing that assigned IP and that's why I can't get connect to the internet.
    Anyone suggestion? Is my extreme broken? If so, can it be fixed? Please help.

    Problem solved!
    Every time, I feel so stupid once I find out the answer to my problem.
    Here it is from another post by 'dwbird':
    "Solution: I found that the service name (optional on the setup) may be optional but if your service doesn't require it and you put a service name in the block it prevents the system from working, hence cannot find the PPoE Server and also cannot get an IP address assigned. Guess the moral of the story is that if it is not absolutely required don't fill in any "optional" blocks"
    I deleted the name of my ISP and everything works just fine, the stupidest thing is that this is not the first time...
    maybe Apple should consider putting a reminder/warning underneath this OPTIONAL service name field.

  • Can't connect to the internet with Airport OR ethernet cable

    I know many other people are having problems with airport not being able to connect to the internet. I've never had any problems with my mac before, but 2 days ago, it started to act really funny. When i turned it on, my time and date were changed to Jan. 1, 2000, and I kept on getting notifications about configd and mdnsresponder wanting to connect to the internet. I did a little research and fixed that problem. Then, a few days ago, my internet was dropped from my computer completely, and I've never been able to connect via airport since.
    The main problem is that even when I plug the ethernet cable into my mac, I can't connect to the internet either. It worked a few days ago, but now my computer can't even connect. It registers that the cable is in the computer, but thats' about it. The Network Diagnostics assistant tells me to restart themodem, and that hasn't been helping at all. Any helpwould be appreciated.

    First Reset your Pram to see if resets you clock (the different Date caused the problems. Plus open System Preferences->Date & Time pane. In there make sure you set the current date/time and se if you can have the Mac automatically update the time from a Time Server.
