"I managed to solve the problem. Under smtp settings (mail preferences/accounts/edit smtp) I set the outgoing port to 25 (as recommended by Talktalk), no authentication (set to none) and unchecked SSL. I found that until I set the port to 25 and authentication to none I was unable to uncheck SSL. One I had done this I was able to send from my main email and other email adddresses set up under my account."
Superb advice R&W! My email sending block using TalkTalk started 2 months ago using Snow Leopard, continued when I upgraded to 10.8.2, and has been persistent on my wife's new iPad (IOS 6.1). Implementing your wise words has fixed all that, and now enables me to call her on FaceTime — previously only she could call me. Thank you so much; this will save hours of further fruitless searching and phoning.
Please remember that your email is now insecure, if you wish to have a secure connection SSL must be on and port 25 should be avoided.

I just upgraded to 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) which worked fine and I am wondering if I could upgrade to Mountain Lion because I would like to use iCloud. I have Adobe CS 5.5 on (does it run?), Office 2008 (does this run?) and only a few older PowerPC-Programs which are not important. I read in some forums that it's not recommended for older Macs to go beyond 10.6.8. What do you say?
Thanks for help!

Your MBP is supported to run Mountain Lion and you should have no problems with it. You're already aware that PPC applications will not run under ML - see the compatibility list at Roaring Apps - but you'll have no problems with Office 2008 nor CS 5.5.
If you'd like iCloud (I know I do) go for it...
Good luck,
Clinton

I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve any application crashing or misbehaving.
As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...

Chronic Wifi Connectivity Problems

My late 2011 MBP has been having chronic wifi connectivity problems ever since I got it, although I have really only begun to see the full extent. I bought it in late April 2012, so I am still covered by my one year warranty.
Problems are as follows:
Will not connect to certain areas. I am okay in my dorm, at my house, and several friend's houses, but it won't connect anywhere else on campus. (You can imagine that this is a problem.)
I am running bootcamp on it, and the Windows side has no issues with connectivity.
About every month, like clockwork, the wifi stops working altogether. It won't give me an IP address and the only solution is to clean reinstall OS. Which is getting very annoying.
Additional Information:
Within the first 60 days of having my mac, I had connectivity problems at a friend's house. Still covered by Applecare, they fixed my problem by renewing the DHCP lease and some other things that I can't remember.
I took the MBP to a Genius Bar when the wifi completely went out and the only solution they had was to clean reinstall the OS. This involves completely wiping the harddrive and reinstalling, not reinstalling over top of what is already there.
As you can imagine, I am extremely frustrated having to reinstall and restore my machine. I am wondering if these problems are preventable, fixable, or if my computer has a manufacturing problem that can be fixed under my warranty.
Thank you for your help!

Hey RJS568999,
I found that if you can connect to your Wi-Fi router, but are having issues with webpages loading, sending or receiving email, etc., Apple recommends you use Wireless Diagnostics, included with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 and later.
You can read more about it here:

MacBook Pro 15" & Lion 10.7.3 wifi dropout

Hi
My MacBook Pro 15" bought in mid 2009. I experienced serious wifi dropout problem recently. Actually my wifi dropout happens almost every few minutes. What the change I made recently was upgrading operating system to Lion operating system and fibre - wifi. I am not sure whether it's hardware problem or operating system bugs. I have tried to tether my iPhone 4s wifi to MacBook Pro and it looks alright. Hence I assume it's not hardware/ network card problem.
I have tried various solutions found on Internets or Mac related websites but still unable to resolve this problem. I am not sure whether there is any application could diagnose this wifi dropout problem. What would be the adequate fibre wifi roundter setting for MacBook Pro?
Appreciate Apple or anyone would share your solution and experience.

I need help with an email WiFi sending problem on my iPad 2

I’m having an email WiFi sending problem on my iPad 2     Model: MC774C/A; IOS VERSION: 6.1.3 (10B329).
While I use 4 email accounts on the iPad -- Hotmail, Gmail, iCloud and ns.sympatico.ca ( a division of BellAliant) – the sending difficulty only relates to the ns.sympatico.ca. The settings for this account are:         pop.bellaliant.net            and      smtp.bellaliant.net
I first noticed the problem about 3 weeks ago while travelling across the country (Canada). (I do recall about that time there was an update of my IOS and I also for my wife purchased from the Bell store an iPhone which shares my Apple account.) Prior to that everything worked well for a couple of years.
I noticed earlier this month that the iPad received mail fine but would not send at night using the motels’ WiFi. During the day, using my 3G account, all worked fine. I phoned Bell but was told that my experience was normal so I thought no more about it until I returned home and found the same problem at the house. I called Bell again and worked for 2 hours with 3 Bell technicians who succeeded in getting the iPad to neither send nor receive and gave up advising me to take the iPad into a Bell store to have it looked at. I did that and the young technician got the iPad sending and receiving by changing the        smtp.bellaliant.net      to         mail.1xbell.ca
However, when I returned home again, I realized that it was working on my 3G and still doesn’t send on my WiFi
I’m looking for any suggestions that might solve this annoying problem?

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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
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.

ITunes 11 wifi sync problem

Hi all,
I just update to iTunes 11, but since than I'm only able to sync my iPad and iPhone with a cable, the wifi sync option is not working. Both of my iDevices won't find my MacBook
Info:
iPad Wifi 3rd Gen
iPhone 5
MacBook Pro 15" (mid 2011)
Hope that anyone has a solution or Apple comes up with a solution

My itunes wasnt recognizing either my or my husbands phones via wifi either, I took the suggestion of others and reconnected to wifi, didnt work. What ended up working for me was going into network preferences on the mac, and than advanced and deleting my network from the list of preferred networks, turning on wifi on my mac, quitting itunes, turning wifi on my mac back on, reconnecting to my network and opening up itunes. Just synced a song to my iphone via wifi no problem. Odd workaround but hopefully that helps you. I am running osx 10.8.2 and my phones are on ios 6.0.1

WiFi (WLAN) problem - in the same room a iOS 5 device connects, iOS 6 not

Hi all,
I won't say that it's a proof for the iOS 6 WiFi/WLAN problem. BUT, it's evident that my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 sees all WLAN-networks and connects - my new iPad with iOS 6 doesn't! And I'm using the two devices in the same room. In addition my new iPad didn't have connection problems before updating to iOS 6.
Apple Software Engineers - please help and release the next update to fix it
Best regards
O.

New retina MacBook Pro - WiFi connectivity problems

Dear all,
I've recently purchased the new Haswell 13" retina MBP, and I'm having exactly the same WiFi connectivity problems the 2013 Airs had. I have a solid connection for a short time, and at irregular intervals it just drops out. All of my other devices are still connected and have no problems. I've tried with two different routers/modems, but the problem persists.
Is this a known problem - with hopefully a software fix in the forseeable future, or do I need to return the MacBook?
Many thanks in advance for your help,
Nic

I haven't got a Retina, but I do have the same wifi problem. And if you've looked at these forums, you'll see it's been going on for years and no one seems to have a handle on what the issue is. All I can say is if I were in your place I'd take it back and exchange it. You have the chance now, so take it.

IPad WiFi Connection Problems - WiFi Symbol Appears With Full Bars but I Don't Get A Checkmark?

I was using the iPad one day and then all of a sudden it stopped connecting to the internet. The network at this hotel is very good and I've asked them about their router so it is not the router's problem.
I go to the Settings and tap on Wi-Fi then I tap on the hotel network. After a few seconds, it says the network name beside the Wi-Fi tab and it gives me the WiFi symbol showing 3 bars. But then I never get the checkmark or tick saying everything is connected. I try going online and it says the iPad is not connected to the internet. I've tried an iPhone and it connected and got a checkmark in a few seconds. I've talked to the front desk and he took out his phone and showed me that he could connect, he even opened a page without any problems at all.
I've been trying to find a solution for this for a long time. I've been searching Google over and over again. I turned Airplane Mode on for 1 minute, I've tried Resetting my Network settings, I've tried forgetting the network and reconnecting again, I've tried removing all restrictions from the iPad, I've rebooted the iPad A LOT, etc.
So this is my problem for people who don't want to read the whole message:
1. I can't connect to the internet with the iPad
2. It shows the WiFi symbol saying its connected but I never get the checkmark or tick.
3. It's not the router problem.
4. I've tried other networks and it doesn't work. It just keeps on showing that loading circle right beside the network name.
5. Do any of you know what this problem is? Or do you have a solution?
Thank you for reading this and have a great day

Angela

You may have a hard drive problem. When I installed Lion, the installer told me that it couldn't complete because the hard drive was failing (or broken, the exact words escape me). Since the HD had been functioning just fine, I took it to the Genius Bar, and found out that yes, the hard drive was slowly dying (bad sectors). I couldn't reboot into Snow Leopard, the installer wouldn't let me and then the drive just wouldn't work at all.
I had to replace my drive and restore from Time Machine. Thankfully, I had Time Machine, and had just done a backup 5 minutes before the crash.
Best of luck.

WRT110 WIFI password problem

Hi Everyone,
I've got a very strange problem. First, I indicated WPA under Wireless Security section and typed in my passphrase. However when connecting to my wireless network name my passphrase never worked. Second, I completely disabled security and tried to simply connect without any passphrase, but I was still being asked for a passphrase nonetheless. I checked and double-checked and saved settings making sure security was disabled, but I was still being asked for a passphrase when choosing my wireless network!
I could probably restore my WRT110 to factory settings, however I don't want to loose other configurations like certain open ports and IP addresses I opened up for firewall.
Is there a way for me to resolve my WiFI password problem without restoring to factory default? I just need to figure out how to make the WiFi passpharse work. Here's what I have there:
Security Mode: WPA Personal
Encryption: TKIP
Passphrase: 0sunspot0
Key Renewal: 3600 seconds
However, when I pick my wireless network and try to connect to it by typing in 0sunspot0, I get authentication failure!
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Victor.
Solved!

Is the router up and running and you would only want to add a device wirelessly? If so, you may access the setup page as sabretooth has said.
