Ipad mini can send email but NOT reply to email

This problem started a couple weeks ago, until then all worked fine.
MY ipad mini can send emails without a problem, but I am unable to reply to any email. I have checked my settings and they match my iPhone 4s settings, which doesn't have this problem.
this is an ipad mini wi-fi only model
i get a pop up saying " a copy of the message has been sent to your outbox. Unable to send content to the server" or something like that.
Any help would be appreciated

Try this first - 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.
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Can send SMS but not receive after update...

After updating my iPhone 4S to ios6 i have problems with receiving messages.I can send SMS but not receive. What to do?

Although I don't believe in consequences, I think this might be one of them. My email was working fine until I installed my VPN. I use the Thunderbird email application, which I like a lot, for three Hotmail accounts and two Yahoo accounts. After installing the VPN I could receive mail but could not send it on any of my accounts. I contacted the VPN and they sent me some numeric IP Addresses to put in my account settings. One for the Hotmail accounts and one for the Yahoo accounts. I did as instructed and the email seemed to work okay. It was late in the evening and I went to bed. The next morning, I could send and receive emails on the Yahoo accounts, but could only send emails on all of the Hotmail accounts.
I guess I'd like to know if anyone else is having this same problem. I'd hate to think it was just me. :-)
I would like for Thunderbird to tell me if there is a way to change the outgoing server in the Account Settings, so I can enter the IP Address in there, or does the fact that I entered an IP Address in the Server Name box, cause it to override any other entries? Or should that even make a difference with me receiving mail?
Also, at what time limit does Thunderbird send back a message that the connection to the server timed out? I continually get that message.
I found a way to do a ping on the Hotmail server and the fastest response time for the last two days was 258.09 which seems very slow for a business computer. At least for a business that wants to stay in business. So is that time above the Thunderbird threshold of the connection time out message to be generated?
Thanks for all your help and suggestions, Carole

I upgraded to lion today and just realized I am not receiving any mail. I can send out but not receive. i'm using a POP Road Runner account. Any help appreciated.

Try Mail->Window->Connection Doctor. If there is a problem reported, try:
Open Mail->Preferences and check your settings.
If you still have a problem, Copy your settings (screen capture ⇧⌘4), delete account, and re-setup account

Ipad mini can send messages to android but ipad mini data only cannot, why?

My husband has ipad mini data only, I have ipad mini cellular and data ( but I never buy cellular plan except for trips, so only use wifi)I have both updated to ios8 latest version. I tested this: I sent ipad messages (using message app already on ipad) and sent messages to my own iphone 6 and my husbands ipad and someone elses iphone and then to an ANDROID phone, and it worked perfectly ( gave me a code to enter to do it) but when I tried sending to android phone off of my husbands ipad mini, it did red error message saying not delivered. same household, same wifi in same room, so I cannot figure out why his won't go through to android but mine will. bought ipad mini's same year, same model except one(his) data only, but both use same wifi (home) what do I need to do to make his send those text messages? that is what is actually being sent, text messages from the apple message app on both. please advise step by step and no I don't use cellular data on mine, just wifi).

text messages from iPad are actually sent from iPhone.
on iPhone, go to Settings > Messages
if you have the same Apple ID signed in from other devices, you should see a "Text Message Forwarding", tap and you will see a switch for other devices.
1. so just make sure your husband's iPhone and iPad are both updated to the latest iOS 8.
2. sign in iMessage from Settings on both devices with the same Apple ID.
3. check the "Text Message Forwarding" option on iPhone, follow the tips given to complete.
good luck!

I can send new, short emails, but not reply or attach

Hi,
I can send new and very short emails fine and recieve all emails fine too. However if i reply to anything longer than a word or two or try to attach any size file, mail won't send the file. The same thing happens in Entourage and this started happening after i switched DSL carriers. Any ideas? I have already deleted and recreated my accounts and checked with the DSL carrier who is satisfied that my settings are correct.
thanks,
J.

You friend needs to check the router manufacturer's website for any updated drivers for the router model which may or may not be specifically targeted for OS X but if available and installed, this may resolve the problem especially if it occurs with any OS X email client.

Gmail Account Can Send Mail But Not Forward

Hi,
I have two Gmail accounts (G1 and G2). G1 is set as the default, and works fine. G2 can send new mail, but if I try to Reply, it cannot as there is no password.
Any idea on the cause of this problem?

It is possible that you are in a transition period of time when Apple is shutting down the mobileME website. In fact, Mobileme.com is closed at this moment. I can see where you might be receiving email traffic and yet being unable to send email out using the mobileme/ mac dot com emaill address. Check this article out from Gigaom.

Can send mail but not receive -- connection doctor OK, GetInfo shows msgs

In the last couple of days I stopped receiving email on my Mac in the Mail app, but not my PC. Both access POP3 accounts at the same ISP, different POP3 accounts. All software is patched to latest version using Software Update -- PowerMac G5 Dual, latest OSX version. On the Mac, connection doctor says I'm A-OK (internet connection, POP connection, SMTP connection.) Also, if I do a Get Info on the inbox and show messages on the server, it shows 75 messages on the server. I have not retrieved messages to my knowledge (so I don't think the server thinks I already downloaded them), and the "Messages that have been downloaded to my Mac" pulldown option in Get Info confirms this, by not showing any of the 75 messages in the Show all messages pulldown option. But -- Get Mail does nothing! I have tried rebooting, deleting and recreating the account, etc. Since I can get POP mail for another account at the same ISP on my PC, and I have touched nothing on the Mac, and all the diagnostics show the connection and POP3 chat is working perfectly, this very strange. I do not think I have applied any patches or anything that might screw it up, but who knows.
The only strange thing that might be a clue is the little spinning status indicator next to the InBox label runs for about 30 sec or so before it decides not to do anything -- seems a little long. Any suggestions? Any way to do detailed debugging of the POP3 session to see if the Mac-server conversation is wanked up somehow?
Thanks!
David

For POP accounts, Mail uses a file within the account folder to keep track of which messages have already been downloaded. Deleting it should cause Mail to download everything still on the server as if new. I don't think it'll work in your case, but try it anyway just to be sure:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/.
3. Locate one or two files named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded and move them to the Trash. Mail 1.x used MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded to keep track of which messages had already been downloaded. Mail 2.x uses MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 for the same purpose.
You can use the Account Info window first to remove from the server any messages you don't want to be downloaded again.
You may try creating a new user account in System Preferences > Accounts, set up mail anew there, and see whether the problem happens there as well.
Another thing you may try is using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible. Also, if Preferences > Check for new mail is set to Every minute, changing it to something greater (e.g. Every 5 minutes) might help.
Something that usually works is removing some messages from the server (download them with another mail client first, to avoid losing them). Sometimes, Mail chokes on a message it cannot download, and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well.
Any way to do detailed debugging of the POP3 session to
see if the Mac-server conversation is wanked up somehow?
Detailed debugging no, but looking at the Console could be informative:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that the Console application displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. Try to reproduce the problem and look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result. They may provide some clues as to what the problem is.

I can send iMessages but not send texts?

I don't know why but for some reason my phone will let me send iMessages but it won't let me send texts.
Also, when I send an iMessage it uses my e-mail and not my number?

Hi Friend,
In Settings>>Message>>Send&Receive, set to be contact in your mobile number and email. Below you set to start new chat just with your mobile number.
Hope it will be helpful

I can send messages but not receive.

My iChat used to work fine. For some reason, however, now I can send messages that my buddies can read but do not appear in my chat box after I hit send. I can no longer read any messages my buddies send to me. I also cannot see chat room invitations that are sent to me. My Mac store people tell me they can find nothing wrong and it "works fine" when they use it. I thought perhaps it was my user account, but I can use iChat at work and on my husband's iMac with no problems. All the settings seem to be identical. I thought about setting up another AIM account, but my original works fine on the other computers.
Oh, I am able to video chat with my husband. It seems to be only the text chat that does not work.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi,
Chats that do Text Chat and then send files or Pics in the chat change it to a Direct IM
This changes the Protocol iChat uses to send and receive data on. (It swaps from port 5190 (Or whatever login port you have set) on TCP to using port 5190 on UDP)
This means you have to have port 5190 open on your router to the UDP protocol.
(Of course it has to be opened in such a way that two computer can use the port and protocol at the same time. (UPnP is method of choice)
Group chats also use port 5190 on UDP
This would seem to be the most likely thing with what you list about the account and the Computer working at a Store (I take it they tested Your iChat Account there ? (testing their own account would prove very little)

I can send imessages but not receive them?

Apologies if this is a stupid question.
I just got an iPhone 5 and can send imessages without any trouble, but when I receive a message it says 'Text Message' in small grey writing above the message. Does this mean that people are unable to send me imessages? I know that the people I am messaging have imessage turned on because I am able to send them imessages.

Macrumors posted a solution for this. I used it and it seems to have worked for me.
Here's what they said:
1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages

IPad 2 can stream music but not movie to Apple TV

Just purchased my iPad 2 recently (love it) and have now installed a new Apple TV unit. Am able to stream music from iPad iTunes to the tv but cannot find the AirPlay pointer for the movie I purchased.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I have iPhone 4 with latest software update and an Apple TV (the one with the HDD) and when I have iTunes open on my iPhone and I chose the icon on the bottom right side of the screen (AirPlay) Apple TV does not show up as one of the choices.
I just did a 'reset' on the Apple TV and it didn't help.
On my iTunes here on my iMac I can see the choice to stream to the Apple TV.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Broadband Router WRT54GSMessage Edited by tiggerx40 on 10-09-200603:49 PM

What is the router model number and version? You may find the model number underneath the router itself on one of the stickers.
Anyway, if you are plugged in to the router:
1) open up internet explorer and go to 192.168.1.1
2) username: just leave it blank password: admin
3) go to the wireless tab:
You may change the ff:
SSID - this is the name of your network
Channel - signal of the router (suggested value is 11)
----> save settings after you have done the necessary changes
4) go the wireless security (found on the subtab)
set-up security:
- suggested mode is WPA Personal
If your router is a WRT54G v5-v6, go to the status page:
- check the firmware version, if the firmware version belong to any of the ff. below then download and upgrade the firmware.
► 1.00.1
► 1.00.4
► 1.00.6
► 1.00.7

I forgot my security question answers. when i tell them to reset it, it sends an email, but not to my email address. can you send it to my primary email?

topic ^^

Nobody on these boards can. If you can't get into that email address, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
