Mac account on desktop mail program has been disabled

Hello, would appreciate any help. Yesterday I ran my desktop mail program and it would look like it was connecting but would have a box appear to "check the settings as it was having trouble getting mail," but then the new mail was there, so didn't think there was a problem. I ran the disc permission repair as I have to do this periodically and today when I clicked on mail in my dock only my ISP mailbox was there. When I click on Preferences it shows my Mac account as "inactive" and it is grayed out. It will not let me "enable" the account or bring it back online. If I click on "edit" to check the settings it won't let me back out because "there is no user name in place" but it won't let me add one. I must click on cancel in order to get out of that section. Is there a way to get this account back on line without removing it and then re-entering all of the information again? If I have to remove it how do I know what to put where in order to get my mail coming to my desktop again, as I am not sure if the ones on the "disable account" are correct at this point. I checked with my ISP just to make sure everything was working on their end and it is, they said it is an Apple problem and to get help from them but their recommendation was to delete the account and start over. In order for me to check my mail to get an answer, I am going to have to keep going to the Mac.com website so would appreciate a prompt reply. Thanks for any help.

Mail program has been replaced by Gmail IMAP

I have been using Apple email on my MacMini for 3 / 4 years.
But after synching my iPad today, the email account changed to GMail IMAP.
So I've now lost all my folders and saved mails....
Any ideas how I may restore to what I had before??
Thanks
Dennis

Not sure what OSX version you're on, but see if there are any folders that start with POP in this location...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/
If 10.7 & up...
Command+Shift+G from the Mac desktop (or Finder > Go > Go to Folder) and type in ~/Library to temporarily access the Library directory in the Finder.

HT201209 Cannot redeem code because this apple id has been disabled

How do you re-enable your Apple ID. My Apple ID was disabled unbeknownced to me.I first realized when trying to redeem a gift card via itunes on my mac - recieving the "This Apple ID has been disabled, cannot redeem this gift card code"

You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Store on iOS 6+) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

It keeps asking for a password and won't accept the one I have. Why is the server not working? I am on 10.5 OS and
wondering if that is the problem? Having to pay $100 for an upgrade every year is a rip off....

10.6 is $29, 10.7 is $29, buy them both and you wont spend $100

I'm working with a Mac, with 10.10.2 system. My Audition program has been working fine for years now. But, there is a problem I can't solve. All my markers on a given piece of audio allows me to left click to highlight the time signature until my audio reaches the one hour point. From there on, the left click will not give me the drop down menu in order to copy and then paste into an Excel sheet I then have to submit for the proofing purposes. After the one hour mark, I can only control/c in order to highlight, then when I slide up to my Excel sheet, I'm able to right click and paste. Why is the program not, all of a su allowing me to left cllick the mouse and have a drop down menu give me the option to "copy, " as it does for any time signature markers up to 1:00:00.000?

Which version of Audition? With the latest version of Audition running on a Windows 7 machine I can't get a dropdown menu at all when I left click on the time in Markers List. The only way to do it is with cntrl-c.

Mail account has been disabled, it's my primary ac...

Hi all,
I carried out a vigorous search before posting!
Issue:
I logged into our primary BT account (which was fine, no issues there; aware of outage today etc); upon clicking on the mail icon I was met with the below message:
Your Yahoo! Mail Account is no longer active.
Unfortunately, we cannot reactivate your account because:
Your Yahoo! Mail account has been disabled. Please contact user support.
Reasons why this may have happened:
It may have been as a result of not using/sending emails from the account within a given period of time. We hardly use the primary address email; it usually only receives BT offers and BT warnings about usage! The disablement is not as a result of hacking and I’m not aware we broke any yahoo mail rules as it’s barely used!
Worries:
I’ve tried with no luck to raise this with yahoo and I’m beginning to feel a little disheartened at the lack of support from Yahoo and everything associated!
The email acts as our primary account, without it I won’t receive emails re: usage warnings, offers etc and if I need to verify something I won’t be able to!
I could create a sub account but it won’t receive the same emails as the primary account.
More worries:
I’m also worried the email primary email will eventually disappear because after a period of time you can’t reactivate a yahoo mail account, and then I’ll be met with an even bigger problem...
Anyone had this issue or be able to provide support and/or advice? Just to clarify, no problem logging in, that's fine; can do everything else, we just can't access the yahoo mail account!
Many thanks,
Officeworker.

My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling from the install DVD - but no go: no longer compatible, evidently.. What to do?

My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling the Mail program from the install DVD, but no go; apparently that two-year old Mail is no longer compatible with my up-to-date Leopard. I tried deleting the account (hotmail) from Mail and setting up a different account (Yahoo). After loading all the inbox two things happened: first, I still couldn't send, and second, when I closed the Mail window the whole inbox then disappeared and doesn't come back. Although I couldn't reinstall the Mail program from the install DVD, would it still be possible to reinstall the whole system from that DVD? If I do, will I lose files or will there be another problem since that DVD is now over two years old?
Thanks for any suggestions; they will be much appreciated.
P.S. I've just noticed that now I can't change the desktop picture: I go through the motions in Preferences, but the new picture doesn't appear on the desktop. Is there a systemic problem?

You are waiting for an apology to something that happened over a year ago? Really? This is why there is a manager in the store. You have a problem with an employee you speak to the manager. Just like you did on the phone. You would have gotten your apology in July 2013.
Here is the information about your upgrade fee.
Upgrade Fee
It is because when you have a problem you (customers) go running to the store and want to take up the time of the reps to fix it. Other carriers have third parties that deal with technical support and those locations are few and far between. VZW provides this directly through their stores. Also, when you subsidize a $650 and pay $200 VZW has to pay $400. Your monthly service fee doesn't begin to scratch the surface of paying that back. Not with all the money that is put into the network and its improvements.
Then over a year later you get someone on the phone who apologized and offered to waive the fee on your phone and you didn't take it? That offer won't come down the pike again.
One thing you should know is that all these employees are people and as such they sometimes come off cross. I doubt that you speak to everyone so sweetly all the time. Cut them a little slack and put this whole thing behind you after 15 months. Either upgrade with VZW or move on.

My Apple ID account has been disabled.

My Apple ID account has been disabled. Whenever I try to login to my account to update apps on my mac or iPhone, I get a message that my account has been disabled. If I try to reset my account, I am told to enter the Recovery Key from my two-factor authentication setup. While I do have two-factor authentication on, I never saved the recovery key. A few days ago I called Apple Support and they eventually told me that the account would be unlocked unlocked after 8 hours, and then I could try my password again. This is obviously not the case.
I'm trying to figure out my next steps. Obviously Apple can't reset my account over the phone. However, the website seems to indicate that I will have to create a new account. Is there a way I can prove I am the owner of my account? Like if I brought my macbook and/or iPhone into the Apple store, would they be able to verify my account/identity and open my account? Also, if I needed a new account, would I be able to transfer my purchases over from my old one?

I doubt the Apple store could do anything. They would end up calling Apple support too. If you called support and they agreed to unlock the account but haven't, call them back.
Apple officially states that purchases are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them and can't be transferred. You would have to ask if they could/would do this under the circumstance.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I had to reset my PayPal account with iTunes and now I'm getting a apple I'd has been disabled on both my iPad and iPhone. I've already done all the steps on my computer. Now what?

They give me that option when I'm setting up my account and I've got all that worked out. But my apple I'd is still disabled on my Mac, iPad, and iPhone. I can't download anything nor can I update any of my apps. I've even changed my account to a credit card and it still didn't help.
Any ideas? I've put in a support request. Hopefully they won't take too long.

Do you need a .mac account to use Mail?

I'm not able to use Mail, even though I'd like to. I don't have, or intend to get, a .mac account.
Is the program otherwise usable?
I have a yahoo account. It would be nice to use Mail in order to send email using Yahoo. Is this possible?

It works with any POP or IMAP email server.
