Issues sending Godaddy account mail from Mac Mail

So i've been running into an issue with emailing from my godaddy account lately.
Kind of a weird issue-It's run flawlessly for over a year, but a few weeks ago it's doing this thing
where i'll send a godaddy email out, and it doesn't send, I just get the spinning wheel next to "Sending" in the email icons window.. After about 5 minutes, I get an error message stating that
the connection to the godaddy outgoing mail server (which has up until recently always worked fine) has timed out on Port 80 and directs me to select another server to send from, the only other of which
is the outgoing server for my .mac account.. So the weird part is, I select the godaddy server again,
the same one that just timed out, and it always sends immediately..
So my question is, why do I have to continuously get this error ever time I try to send mail? it's annoying.
Thanks

I'm having issues too.
I've also noticed that this is a problem with GoDaddy's servers in combination with Mac Mail. This seems to happen more frequently whenever I try to reply to a message (especially if the message had attachments). Often, the error will either say "Authentication failed" or "Could not connect to server" or "Connection timed out" or lately "Server requires authentication, please check your settings". I've been all over this with GoDaddy changing the port from 80 to 25 to 3535 and it still happens with alarming regularity. One fix (maybe it's not a fix) is to take the message I'm replying with and insert a few spaces at the head and then delete them. Then send. It usually goes then. This may be voodoo, but it seems to work. If I don't, then I can't reply.
In talking with GoDaddy support, they suggest talking with my ISP (Qwest) to see if they're blocking access to any other SMTP servers. This doesn't make sense because the problem happens at work, at home, on the road etc. where there are any number of ISPs in place.
I've never had this problem with any other client other than Mac Mail. This problem has moved from Tiger to Leopard, so I don't think it's an install issue. I've rebuilt my accounts with fresh information, so I'm now at a loss...
Anyone else with this problem?

I have keynote on ipad2 and powerbook g4. if I send,by mail, a keynote work from mac to Ipad, I cannot read it.there is no problem fram Ipad to mac. any solution? thanks

How are you trying to transfer the Keynote presentation?
You can email the presentation to yourself and open it with Keynote on your iPad.
You can use iTunes. Connect your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes, go to the App Tab for your device and add your presentation to the Apps/Keynote section. Now if you touch the "+" in keynote on your iPad you will get the choice Copy from iTunes.
Your can setup iCloud on your laptop & iPad and save your Mac laptop presentation to iCloud and just open it on your iPad.
There are, of course many other ways, Dropbox, etc.

How to transfer multiple account emails from Mac Thunderbird to Windows Outlook 2013 ?

I have around 5 email accounts that I access at regular intervals. I have managed to keep these accouts from years and maintained each email in dufferent folders. Now I am about to give away my mac book and switch over to windows system. All I want is to
transfer the emails from Mac Thunderbird to Outlook in windows. I have transferred the datsbase files of each account from mac to windows laptop but dont know hoe to import these to Outlook 2013. These is no such option to import the thunderbird files in Outlook
2013.
Is there anything I am doing incorrect???
Please help me Migrate all the Thunderbird data to Outlook 2013.

You can add multiple accounts in Outlook and use them separately. But to transfer your emails from Mac Thunderbird you first need to convert the emails of Thunderbird to .PSt format in order to import into Outlook Windows.
There are multiple options available online as this is a common issue.
Look Here:
Export Thunderbird to Outlook Pst
I hope it helps you

Can send but not receive from .mac using Mail

I've a problem that pre-dates the mobile me change where the Mail application won't download mail from my .mac account. The most recent email downloaded was from three months ago and since then I have had the tilde character showing next to my .mac account indicating there is a problem.
I have no problem sending mail from my .mac account, and emails from other non .mac accounts are downloaded without any problem. Webmail is ok - previously in .mac and now in mobile me and until now I've been logging in that way hoping it will resolve itself, but obviously it hasn't done.
Any help or pointers will be gratefully received.
Thanks
Andrew

Hello,
All dot.Mac and Dot.Me account have migrated to iCloud.
You should have been given details of expiry for the .Mac account to iCloud. Apple have now shut .Me and .Mac account for web access.

.mac account disappears from Mac mail

Often I will go to my Mail app and the .Mac Account is no longer displayed. If I quit mail and reopen, it and its folders stored there at .Mac will be displayed.

My wife has a sub-account on our MM family pack subscription and had this issue: occasionally mail on her iPhone would appear briefly in the iPhone inbox, then disappear from the list. It never showed up in Mail.app at all. (I have the master account on this family pack and haven't had this issue… knock on wood.)
I was also a recipient on some of those mails -- but if I forwarded them to her she still didn't get them. I had to copy the text out of the messages and paste into a new mail. That worked. So it seems there's something in the mail header (perhaps?) that causes this… yet the mails have not all been from the same person / address. In fact, mail from person "A" might do this disappearing thing today, yet mail from the same person "A" might work fine tomorrow. It's that sort of multi-variable, intermittent problem that's very hard to pin down.
I tried changing her password -- to guarantee that only her known clients were logging in (no lurking POP mail readers that she'd forgotten about). No effect. Then I tried turning off her junk filters, both local and online at MobileMe (thinking maybe some rule was out of control -- deleting random messages, rather than filing them as junk). No effect (other than a lot of complaints from her about junk in her inbox, of course).
Finally, she suggested that maybe it had to do with MM push services -- since it only happens on the iPhone, not on her Mac. We turned off push on her iPhone and voila! It seems to have fixed the issue.
I haven't found anyone else who's connected this with data push on the iPhone. I'd be interested if other folks who try this as a solution would see if it works for them and post results here.

Mail Account sync from mac to iPhone

i cant sync my mail accounts from my mac to my iphone 4! the register "info" isnt there in iTunes.
so i have to type all the settings on the iphone again. with mountain lion it was really easy to sync my mail accounts. why is this function not included in mavericks?

I've got the same problem. I need my iMac to talk to my iPhone but it's not doing anymore. I also tried creating a randon Playlist in iTunes and it didn't sync that either. I don't want iCloud as it confuses matters and gives me double entries, I'll let you know if I find a work around.

Having issues sending Yahoo/att mail with one account

Since upgrading to OS Mountain Lion, we have all sorts of issues. This weeks challenge seems to be that my one (and main) e-mail account through Yahoo/att will receive in batches, but not send at all. I have another business e-mail account and it is sending and receiving fine. Mail prompts me for my password over-and-over again. Obviously both accounts settings are identical except for username and password. Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hello internettim2,
Help is just a posting away! Let's get your picture messaging working to other devices on your account. Are you having any issues with texts? Also, are these pictures that you took on the device? Can I assume that you are using the original text messaging app on all of the phones? If so then please turn off iMessage on the iPhones and test the service. Let us know the results so we can proceed.
Thank you…

For those new to mail with issues sending and receiving mail

I was surprised that I did not see anyone referring to this amazing and invaluable tool, the Mail Setup Assistant:
http://www.apple.com/support/macosx/mailassistant/
This tool get's me through troubleshooting sessions more than anything else. Most problems are due to settings when it comes to Mail. Half the time issues with sending emails is just due to SMTP settings, sometimes you do not need to have Authentication for outgoing mail. Sometimes your password is just incorrect. Use Mail Setup Assistant it is pretty **** accurate I use it on a daily basis.
Sometimes the settings are perfect and sometimes you just have to erase mail completely by doing:
~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist pull.
~ refers to your home folder!
Hope this helps!

It is a very good idea, however many of us do not live in the USA, so cannot yet take advantage of this tool.
Pity!

User accounts disappeared from Mac Server

My company uses a Mac Server OS X v10.7.5 which we store all our files on and staff connect to it using a mapped drive (B:). This afternoon we stopped being able to connect, we rebooted the server like we normally do, however, when it came back online all of the user accounts have disappeared leaving only our admin account!
All of our files and folders are still there, it's just the user accounts used for accessing these folders that seem to have disappeared.
Coincidently, the + sign under the Users section is greyed out in server.app so I'm having to use Workgroup Manager to add new users. I've tried doing this for myself and given my user account access to the folders that I need however, when I try to map the B: it doesn't recognise my server credentials any more.
Basically, at the moment, no one can access any files or folders so I'm really hoping that someone has an answer on how to either restore the missing user accounts (if that's possible) or how to set up the user accounts so that we can access the files again.
Thanks in advance for any help.

From what I found out it was to do with corrupted Open Directory file, if you've previously archived the Open Directory (through Server Admin) you can restore a previous version or, as we had to do, copied all the server files to an external hard drive and restore from Time Machine, we did it for a point a week ago when it was working and all the user profiles came back.
If you don't already know how to do that, restart the server but hold down the cmd and R (command key and R key) at the same time until it gives you a screen with a list of restore options, select Restore from Time Machine Backup and select a date from a few days ago or whenever you knew it was working fine, depending on the size of the files on your server it can take a couple of hours to do this. Then copy the files from the hard drive back on to the server so youy have the latest versions again.
After it had done this all the user profiles were restored with passwords and groups etc..., if you do remove and restore the files then you may need to re-do any file access permissions but other than that it should be back to how it was before.
Hope this helps and I've explained the process ok.

Can't save or send a scanned image from mac using OS X 10.9.4 image is completely black

I've recently updated my MacBook pro to OS X 10.9.4 and I can no longer scan and save images from my HP printer I have HP photosmate premium C310. When scanning the image will appear on the screen but once saved or emailed it is just black. Any ideas as to why? All the current updates have been made to my limited technical knowledge, but I did just run a check and it seems updated.

Hi,
Follow the workaround below to scan using Image Capture or Preview. the HP Scan application is not available for your printer for 10.9:

Godaddy and mail.app

hello,
i've been having some troubles for a while and looking for any magical advice. i have a hosting/email package with godaddy that i'm happy with except their outgoing mail server which never works reliably for me (hit or miss). i have tried all i know how (call in support, all the various ports, etc.) and never resolved it. i have tried to use my local isp servers and they're not much better. as a note gmail is very reliable for me so i can have accounts that work well. is there any known issue between godaddy and mail.app or any other info someone might have that can help me? i'm not located in the us if it helps. if the answer is godaddy's outgoing servers are not good which i have heard does anyone have a recommended option? i need to use my own domain and not a gmail account and anyways i don't particularly like the way gmail works but their reliability i can't complain. i'm thinking also there might be some kind of outgoing server i can sign up for even pay if it will work with my godaddy mailboxes. any thoughts and thanks so much,
rick

thanks for the replies. yes that seems to work the best but unfortunately in my case not quite good enough. i was never able to fully resolve the issue even after much help from godaddy. all i could do was switch my outgoing server to someone else. but i will gladly try it again one day hoping it might work a bit better for me.
thanks,
rick

How to send a message(apple event) from mac os to our application

on developer.apple.com i found a method which opens a given documetns through an apple event.
my question is how to send open document event from mac to our application on xcode

Assuming you're using Cocoa, the simplest solution is to call -[NSWorkspace openFile:withApplication:]. Example:
NSWorkspace *ws = [NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace];
NSString *appPath = [ws absolutePathForAppBundleWithIdentifier: @"com.apple.textedit"];
[ws openFile: @"/path/to/file" withApplication: appPath];

How to get handoff from mac to iOS to work properly

I have MBP late 2012, and can send SMS text messages from Mac, send and receive phone calls from Mac, however, cannot use handoff with Mail, Messages, Safari, and the like. Tried all restarting, re-logging in, etc. No help.
Any suggestions?
Handoff works perfectly between iPhone 6 and iPad Air. But not between my iOS device and MBP.

I Got everything to work properly by signing out of iCloud on iOS device and then signing back in, restarting, then shutting off Bluetooth and then back on on both MBP and ios device. But, if you have two iOS devices, make sure that one iOS device Bluetooth is turned off until your MacBook Pro is recognizing handoff with the second iOS device. Then, you can turn the first iOS device Bluetooth back on.

Issue sending picture messages

I have no issue sending or receiving pictures from other people with my S4; however, when I send pictures, I'm regularly told by who I was trying to send it to that it wouldn't come through or wasn't attached. On my end it looks like it when through, though. Some of my AT&T friends receive a message saying the message was deleted. I have the issue with all carriers, including Verizon, and with mulitple different phones. I've checked the Global/LTE mobile data issue and this problem happens when I'm on WiFi and when I'm not. Happens at least half the time. Sometimes, they get it if I resend it, but many times it's a lost cause. Really frustrating...I didn't have this issue with an iPhone, but it's making me want to switch back.

I'm using the original messaging app. I don't have issues using 3rd party applications.
