IPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email.

iPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email.  "The email server didn't recognise username/password combination".  Both appear correct in preferences/accounts.  Mail sends and receives messages perfectly.
(This problem also occurs when trying to send from Thunderbird, however both iPhoto and Thunderbird can send perfectly well using the Gmail server).

Hi there
I should explain that I have 5 days experience of the iMac but have had a working iCloud account with my iPad for several months.  I don't think this is an iCloud issue as such. My thought is that this is something to do with the Mail application itself and its relationship to my Apple ID etc. (Perhaps when the iMac first configured itself?)
I have deleted and manually reset both Mail and iPhone account settings for iCloud using the Apple recommended settings and I have tentatively checked that the username/password combination is as expected in Keychain but I'm too much of an Apple novice to go any further with that.
On a PC I think I would try reinstalling the Mail programme but I don't see that as an option.

  • Using BT Mail smtp server for non-bt account

    Having recently discovered the hard way that I was migrated (and had no BT e-mail for 3 days), I have now discovered that all the authorisations I had set up for sending of e-mail fwith the senders address being a non-bt account have gone.
    The help files point me in the direction of setting up BT Mail to get non-bt mail for me. This is not what I want. All I need is to authorize andrew@******.org.uk as an authorised user on my BT account. Thunderbird is quite capable of getting the mail from mail.****.org.uk with POP3. I just need to be able to use the BT smtp server for outgoing mail only.
    Help Please

    Solved!

    Appears to be working again with andrew@******.org.uk
    I guess it was just a glitch.

    Can i use icloud as a server and share files with others as it was possible before?!

    iCloud does not provide general file storage and sharing. You will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:

  • Can I use iCloud Mail for business?

    I don't want to use Gmail for business Emailing because it snoops on your Emails. Can I use iCloud for business Emails?

    Do you have a website for you business? If you do you can have the provider setup email service with your domain name as the email provider.  In other words if you business website is AbrahamGrit.com the email address can be [email protected]

  • Can I use an outgoing SMTP server (other than .me)

    Can I set up my Mail account to use an out going SMTP server other than .me? I want to use my .me (iCloud) account for incoming mail but want another server for my out going mail. (The reason is a need to keep an existing From: address rather than be required to use "[email protected]".)

    I think some networks restrict what smtp people use, I know that is true for my school. I think the answer this person is looking for is how is a quick way to choose the smtp. I think if the orinial poster selects new message, there is a littel black down arrow to the left of the subject line. If you press this down arrow and select customize, you could put a check box in the outgoing smtp field. Then you can select your out going mail server. But as for chaning your incoming mail server for all incoming email... well no... you can not determine what incoming email server you use for each account.
    @rpeskin The Apple Mail program, does a good job or seperating email accounts. Look for a "show" button on the top menu (somewhere under the red close dot.)

  • Can't send e-mail- smtp server offline or disappeared

    Hi!
    I've had issues sending e-mail from my @mac address for about a week.  I can send from iCloud on the web but not from iPad, iPhone or MacBook.
    Sometimes the server is offline, sometimes just not there at all - the error msg gives the smtp info and says I can't connect. Connection Doctor says everything is fine.
    I've tried….
    - turning off iCloud on all devices and re-booting
    - removing a second e-mail account
    - manually changing smtp settings
    Receiving mail is fine.
    can anyone help??!

  • Can I use icloud as a storage for photos from my PC without pushing all of them to my iphone?

    I thought the cloud could be a backup to my PC (files, pics, itunes...) that I could access from my iphone.  If my pics are pushed to my phone, my memory will be more than maxed out.  Same with itunes.  I would like to switch the tunes on my phone sometimes. 
    Am I expecting too much from my cloud!?

    No.
    iCloud isn't like our old iDisk. It's more about connecting muliple devices to the same shared data.

  • Can I use iCloud to copy all the emails from the iPhone to Windows Live Mail on my PC?

    My Windows 8 OS got trashed and I had to "refresh" it which involved losing all my Windows Live Mail emails (i.e. *.eml files in %AppData%). I have a backup from 18 months ago and most of my recent emails are on my phone.
    Is there a way I can copy (en masse) the emails from my iPhone to my Windows Live Mail on my PC?
    Thanks in advance.
    Andy

    Please ignore this question. Or tell me how to delete it.

  • Can i use MAC OS X SERVER for few web sites?!

    Can i?!

    Here is the OS X Server web page.  That and the pages it links to will be of interest to you.  
    As Strontium90 indicates, yes, you can host via the provided Apache, and Apache supports so-called multiple virtual hosts.
    Though some of the Apple pages indicate that no IT department is required, you will need an understanding of Apache and potentially (probably eventually) its configuration files, of setting up and troubleshooting IP networking and Network Address Translation (NAT) and port forwarding, and of setting up DNS.  You will need to set up DNS services locally, on your NAT'd network.  You will need port forwarding.
    To serve these web sites and web pages publicly, you'll also need either a static IP connection from your ISP or minimally an account that does not block TCP port 80 (HTTP) and TCO port 443 (HTTPS) as some ISPs do block those from residential accounts, and you'll probably also want public DNS as folks don't like entering IP addresses.  You'll also need enough network bandwidth for whatever you're doing, and a network gateway-firewall-router device that'll let you port-forward TCP 80 and TCP 443 through to your new server.

  • How can I use iCloud to receive emails from my GMail account and when I reply, the reply email shows the email in which it was sent to, not the @iCloud address?

    I have my GMail account forwarding my emails to my @iCloud.com account which I like, but when I reply, it shows my address as @iCloud.com instead of the email address that was originally addressed to. Anyway to have iCloud reply to emails using the email address in the original email?

    You can't use iCloud's outgoing server to send with anything other than the iCloud address as the 'From' address. On your Mac you can set Mail to use the GMail outgoing server with your iCloud account (but then you can just access your GMail there anyway, so there's little point). On the iCloud website you can't do this; there is no way of using your Gmail address.

  • I am using iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2 but can not use iCloud with it. I've looked for updates in iPhoto and iLife'11 but no luck. Suggestions very welcome.

    I am using iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2 but can not use iCloud with it. I've looked for updates in iPhoto and iLife'11 but no luck. Suggestions very welcome.

    No you won't necessarily lose your photos when upgrading but it's very very unwise not to back up first. Backing up is like using a seat belt in a car. You can drive without one for years and have no issues, but if you do have a problem the outcome will be a lot worse. So, too, with back ups. And upgrading is one of those times when the risks of a problem are higher.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • Can you use iCloud to save iPhotos to the cloud? When I sign in to iCloud, I just see a few basic apps, no iPhotos.

    If you're referring to the iCloud.com website for you account there are no photos there.  Photop Stream is only for syncing photos between iOS devices and Macs.

  • Can I use iCloud to store photos I want to delete from my iPhone 5s?

    Good day.
    I want to free up space on my 16G iPhone 5s.  All of my photos are stored on iCloud, however, when I delete a photo from my iPhone 5s, it also deletes in iCloud.  Is there a way to use iCloud as a way to store photos that I don't want on my iPhone any longer, but I want to save?
    Note:  The photos on my iPhone 5s are all on iPhoto on my iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3.  I have not opened the "photos" app which appeared on the doc when the system upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 as I'm not sure how this will affect the whole "delete from my iPhone, but keep in iCloud" dilemma. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    C. Gray

    iCloud isn't designed as a cloud-only storage method. The closest you can get is to change a setting to optimize storage on your iPhone so that a smaller "device-size version" is kept on your phone. See the quote below from iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
    Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
    iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
    In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
    In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
    If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.
