Looking for Apple Mail hosting solution ...

All,
Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I am looking for a good e-mail hosting company that knows how to deal with Mac users. I have a small consultancy with 5 people and we all use Mac's. I guess anyone can offer standards-based IMAP hosting, but a bonus would be to have a hosting company that could handle WebDav iCal calendar syncing.
Some have suggested MobileMe, but I don't thing that works for small businesses ... right?
Other suggestions?

IMHO WD exteral HD's have the highest failure rate, the drives themselves are fine it is the enclosures WD uses. Many experienced users on these forums (including myself) only use OWC Mercury Elite Pro series. Extremely high quality and reasonable pricing. You can find them by clicking Here .

I know this is the wrong forum but there isn't one for Apple Mail!

Hello all,
Forgive the slight mis-placement but.. I'm looking to move my Mail from my desktop Mac Pro to my Macbook Pro! Can anybody advise the best method that will maintain the current email archive and listings, thus being no change whatsoever once moved to the Macbook?

Not sure what you are talking about? If the post, which I did not see, was posted in this forum (Mail and Address Book) then it was the correct forum. Your saying there was no forum for Apple Mail would probably have not helped get a reply.
The correct and simplest method to move is to transplant both the com.apple.mail.plist file from Home/Library/Preferences and the Mail folder from Home/Library from the one Mac to the other.

Out of office Relpy for apple Mail on Mountain Lion Server

We just recently switched our server from Lion to Mountain Lion and now we can not figure out how to create and launch an Out of Office Reply for Apple Mail on the new Mountain Lion Server. I have searched the internet for an aswer and/or instructions on how to do this and haven't found any.
As anyone figured out how to create and launch an Out of Office Reply for Apple Mail on the new Mountain Lion Server?

Eustace - Thanks for taking a crack at it! I saw this same post as well but it doesn't answer my question about how to create and launch an Out of Office Reply for Apple Mail on the new Mountain Lion Server?
I'm not looking to create an out of office rule on my computer but on our Mountain Lion Server like we used to be able to do on Lion Server.

How to locate 'look for apple tv' command in iTunes

i am trying to connect first generation apple tv to mac mini.
following all instructions but apple tv does not appear in itunes devices list.
cannot find how to configure itunes for 'look for apple tv' command.

That depends on how you set it all up. If you chose the "connect to iTunes" option then you should be able to sync content to the hard drive on the Apple TV. If you chose the "add shared library" option then you can only stream to the Apple TV.

Creation of a new Keychain Entry (Internet password) for Apple Mail

I am working on a Mail Assistant to set up a new Mail Account for Apple Mail.
My problem concerns the creation of the Keychain Entry for the POP Account with which Apple Mail is set up (by my custom Mail Assistant).
I am able to create a Keychain Entry with all relevant User Data, the Keychain Entry also appears to be valid (I ran the Keychain First Aid Tool to check it), but when I start the Apple Mail App, it does not recognise the created Keychain entry, but is asking me to enter the Password for the POP Account which I set up successfully.
Any help is appreciated for giving me a hint of how Apple Mail recognises or links respectively to its adherent Keychain Entry.
Thanks in advance
Thomas

Couple of things to try Theo...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

"Look for Apple TVs" is missing from iTunes10 prefs.

based on apple's kb http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1453 :
Choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (Windows), click Apple TV, and make sure "Look for Apple TVs" is selected"
I don't have the ATV in itunes 10.1 (10.6.5):
!http://www.gballard.net/apple/Atv10.jpg!
I do have it in itunes 9 (10.4.9):
!http://www.gballard.net/apple/Atv9.png!
I recall some time back I unchecked "Look for Apple TVs" in itunes 9 so it didn't keep trying to update, but since updating to itunes 10 it appears broken.
I tried to read through this previous thread but it went all over the place.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2568436&start=60&tstart=30

I suppose I could erase/restore the ATV and get them talking again to upload 130GB of content...

I booted off an external FW of an Erase Start From Scratch 10.6.5 (OS only) install I use for maintenance.
itunes 8 (default first time opened), 10.6.5:
!http://www.gballard.net/apple/10-65-it8.png!
I booted off an external FW of a 10.6.4 clone of my full working hard drive (the source drive is the drive I am using now with the itunes 10.1 problem).
The clone has itunes 9.2 and still shows the atv icon.
The clone includes my full working itunes.
itunes 9.2, 10.6.4 clone:
!http://www.gballard.net/apple/it92-10-64.png!
This tells me the problem occurred somewhere in iTunes 10 and/or 10.6.5.

"Look for Apple TVs" is checked, but Apple TVs a No-Show

My AppleTV refuses to re-unite itself with iTunes. In iTune Prefs the "Look for Apple TVs" is checked, but no Apple TVs show up in the box below. So I can't input the pass-code to get it syncing. It's weird because the network-password info in "Setup" and is correct working, the cables are all connected and secure, and the most current software is installed.
I just thought of something! It was working fine, but then my older DSL modem was damaged and I had a new WIRELESS DSL modem installed. But I DID re-input all the new info (new network name, password, etc.) and everything has been working fine except this new problem with Apple TV. Any ideas?
Tomorrow I will be installing Leopard OS. I wonder what effect this might have.

Please don't start two threads with the same question.

Task Privileges for Existing Users - Looking for a global update solution

After some reading I understand that if you set the task privileges for the PUBLIC user in the Privileges section of Discoverer Administrator (10g), any new user created in the system will pick up the privileges you have assigned to the PUBLIC user.
I currently have 4000+ users who have access to Discoverer Plus and the ability to create/edit queries. I want to limit who can access Discoverer Plus functionality to approximately 150 users.
I have changed my PUBLIC user to NOT have privileges but this will only affect new users. Is there any way to restrict 4000+ users without having to go through each user individually and set the privileges.
I am looking for a global update solution. I am wondering if this can be done through the back-end.

Hi Mezzobella
If you change the rights for the public user then other users, who have not been manually adjusted in any way, will automatically pick up the public rights. Therefore, if you have a lot of users that are not changing this means that at some point in their life you will have clicked OK or Apply on the screen with a user displayed. This now assigns the rights to that user as opposed to inheriting them from the public user.
What you are describing is the perfect reason why you should not administer Discoverer using user accounts but to use roles or responsibilities instead.
In your case you are now somewhat stuck. The programatic way to revoke these rights is to drop rows from the EUL5_ACCESS_PRIVS table but this could take longer than doing inside Discoverer. Basically, when a user has been granted privileges one row per privilege is inserted into this table. The column AP_EU_ID contains the ID of the user. The column GP_APP_ID is the one that tells you what privilege a user has. Here is a list of the privileges:
1000 Desktop / Plus Privilege (U)
1001 Create / Edit Query (U)
1002 Item Drill (U)
1003 Drill Out (U)
1004 Grant Workbook (aka Sharing) (U)
1005 Collect Query Statistics (U)
1006 Admin Privilege (A)
1007 Set Privilege (A)
1008 Create / Edit Business Area (A)
1009 Format Business Area (A)
1010 Create / Edit Summaries (A)
1011 Not used as far as can be determined
1012 Schedule (U)
1013 User is never required to schedule workbooks (U)
1014 Save workbooks to database (U)
1015 Managed scheduled workbooks (A)
1016 This is an apps mode EUL
1017 This is the user's assigned language
1018 User is allowed to change password
1019 to 1023 Not used as far as can be determined
1024 Create Link (U)
Note: A = Admin privilege, U = User privilege
Theoretically you could manually delete rows from this table and that will revoke the rights. In reality, Oracle do not like it when inexperienced users manually the EUL as you could corrupt it. Therefore, any manual updates must be done with utmost caution after making sure you back up or have a copy of the table you will be updating - just in case.
Try running this query to see the content:
SELECT DECODE( AP_EU_ID, 104198, 'Viewer', 103697, 'Plus', 'Other' ) "Who" , AP_ID, AP_TYPE, AP_EU_ID, AP_PRIV_LEVEL, GP_APP_ID, GBA_BA_ID, GD_DOC_ID, AP_ELEMENT_STATE
FROM EUL5_ACCESS_PRIVS

"Look for Apple TV" preference doesn't appear to work

Have just set up Apple TV for a friend, without realising the HD is only 40gb. As a result his music and photos have instantly filled the HD and it seems to be constantly trying to sync (or at least the spinning arrows beside the Apple TV in the devices list won't go away)
To solve the problem until I next get over there, I suggested he merely uncheck "look for Apple TVs" in his iTunes preferences, but the TV still comes up under the list of devices every time he opens iTunes. I have also got him to uncheck the option for synching music and photos in the tabs of his Apple TV device
Any assistance most appreciated
Kind Regards

Chances are it's your internet connection.
If you can play things under the Computers tab from your local itunes library without issues then your LAN is likely to be fine.
AppleTV2 does not play well with slow/variable interent connections for rentals.
Basically it calculates how much needs to download to flash memory to allow continuous playback without interruption at the rate your internet connection is delivering - if this rate drops due to more users in your area or perhaps throttling of bandwidth by your ISP then the calculation will be wrong and movies will stop/start.
If you simply have a slow connection, then you have to wait for much of the movie to download first, this may take some hours. On AppleTv1 the presence of an internal drive made this much more robust as the movie would stay on the unit until the rental/view period had expired. It might take hours to download (so rent in advance of viewing) but once it was there it would stay until expiration. AppleTV2 however does not retain the download and often if you restart the film it has to start downloading from scratch which I think is crazy.
Please send feedback here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
I wish they had the option to 'lock the download in memory' until viewed or deleted - this would limit you to 1 HD movie rental at a time in order to keep enough free for other tasks/local streaming usage, but would make the device far more practical for slow connections.
You should test your internet connection at say speedtest.net on the computer.
Just as estimates I'd say:
1Mbps - probably 12 hours+ to start watching HD, less for SD
3-4Mbps - 20-30 mins to start watching HD, within a minute for SD (my speed)
8Mbps+ - watch within a few seconds
If you go to Settings and in iTunes store options change to SD from HD you may find you can watch far quicker with any new rentals, but if you want HD it defeats the purpose.

2-Step Verification for Apple Mail on OS 10.7.5

Can someone verify if having 2-Step Apple ID verification work for Apple Mail? I use iCloud email but on my MacBook (OSX 10.7.5) Mail program, I can't access it. I tested my iCloud Account via Settings and it can't log in. I discovered that by turning off the 2-step verification it works normally on my MacBook.
I'm interested in switching back to 2-Step Verification but I'm worried it won't work again. I'd like to know if this is working now for OSX 10.7.5? I can't upgrade to a new OSX on my MacBook since it's an older model.

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Network Utility in the icon grid.

Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
Important Note
Some web browsers and mail clients will automatically convert a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a clickable URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters.
