Mac mail no longer works with iCloud

Since installing icloud, my mac mail is no longer working.

You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
"The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.

Does my mac 10.6.8 work with icloud

Can I sync my mac version 10.6.8 with icloud?

No, it doesn't. 10.7.2 or later is required to have iCloud. Consider upgrading your computer if possible.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

Back to my mac no longer working with iCloud

Now that I have converted my mobileme to iCloud, back to my mac is no longer functioning properly. As far as I can tell, my AEBS doesn't like my back to my mac login credentials, even though they are correct. I can log in via settings on each computer with those credentials, but if I try to enter them in the AEBS it won't accept them as valid.
I am able to use back to my mac/screen share on local computers. I am NOT able to use it on a remote computer. Before iCloud this was working fine.
I initially didn't think I had a problem until I brought up the Airport Utility on an iPhone and found that there were issues. I have made sure the firmwares were up to date and that has had no effect so far.
I can only screen share on the remote computer using a third party solution on an ipad (via iTeleport) but that's not an ideal solution.
Symptoms are identical on Lion and Snow Leopard machines (local) to the remote, which is running Snow Leopard.
I do have screen sharing enabled in iCloud.

OK, so further investigation has addressed the BTMM issue on a remote machine.
With all machines running lion, I was having issues trying to log in to a standard user headless machine already running. In Snow Leopard, I had no issues with this since you can log in via screen sharing using an admin login that's running a standard login. Lion allows multiple accounts to be signed in which is handy since you can now run virtual sessions. This means you can admin the remote computer without bothering the remote user.
The problem was that now logging in using admin login brings up the admin account (which makes sense) instead of the desktop to the standard login. I applied a similar solution to a problem that was related to screen sharing I found on this board. What I believe to be the fix is to add the standard user to the screen sharing user list. Then screen share to the remote account using the standard user credentials.
So on the remote computer, in System Settings->Sharing->Screen Sharing, add the standard user to be allowed access. Previously I only had admins. This may not be an ideal solution for what I'm trying to do since the remote computers primary login is the standard user to be used as a common computer, but it now works so I am happy with it.
Now my only "problem" is my AEBS complaining about my MobileMe credentials, but it doesn't appear to have an impact on BTMM performance so I'll quietly wait for a fix down the road.

Tabs in Yahoo premium mail no longer work with Firefox 37.

In Yahoo mail premium-add free I can no longer access or close tabs. Messages open in tabs, tabs persist but I need to exit mail to close them. I can get back to In box and other categories but not the tabs. I figured it was Yahoo until I noticed the functions work with Chrome. Note: The free yahoo does not have multiple tabs and appears to be working normally. Regards

Make sure that this also does not happen in Safe Mode:
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.

My Mac Mail no longer works (does not receive or send mail)

I have had my MacBook for maybe a year now, and I don't really use the mail often. The last time I was able to send and receive mail was back in October. Now it will no longer work.. I get a pop up that's always asking me to put in my mail password, but nothing happens. I even tried going to preference to change my password and it won't allow me.
When I try to send mail, the little paper plane icon is not clickable. Nothing happens. The only thing I can do is exit out of the message or save the draft. And I can not seem to get mail at all from anyone. I haven't touched any setting either, so I don't understand why it no longer works. My bank can no longer send me emails nor can my friends send me emails anymore.
Does anyone know how I can possibly fix this problem and get my email up and running again. Thanks in advance for all the advice.

Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.

Apple Mail no longer working with Gmail

Hi,
I've been using Apple Mail for over a year now to coordinate multiple email addresses and it worked well until a few weeks ago when Gmail stopped working. I can add my account, the account loads, but the account is only visible if you go through the subfolders - it isn't visible under "Inbox". This defeats the purpose of using a client, since I'm not notified if I receive a message and to check I would have to flip back down to Gmail's subfolder to check that account and then flip back up to check my other accounts. I at first thought it was a problem with Apple Mail, but after wiping my computer and re-installing three times and upgrading to the new OS, I've decided it's a problem with my Gmail. I also can't get Gmail to work with Apple Mail clients on other computers. It works OK but not great with Thunderbird. Any help would be MUCH appreciated! Thank you!!

Anybody have a guess what to check? This is frustrating.
Did you change any setting in Mail? Did you change your gmail account password? Did you activate 2-step verification on your gmail account?
If you haven't done anything from above, maybe problem is with your network... Did you try to turn off your router for few minutes and then turn ON again?
Did you install any 3rd party security apps on your Mac? Did you enable system firewall? Do you use any proxy servers? Do you use VPN?
There might be more questions...

Need Help - Mac Mini no longer works with LG Television

Sometime ago (maybe about two months), my Mac Mini quit working with my LG Plasma HD TV. Currently, when I try to use the Mac Mini with the television, the screen displays a "no signal" message.
The Mac Mini is a one year old Intel Core Duo and is connected using a DVI to HDMI cable.
I've troubleshooted:
1. Connected the Mac Mini to our 42" Sharp Aquous LCD - it displays fine.
2. Taken the Mac Mini to the Genius bar. It displayed on the genius' Apple display w/no probs.
Since then, I've tried:
1. Reinstalled/rolled back to Leopard DVDs (no updates applied) - No luck
2. "Driving" the Mac Mini via Screen Sharing using my MacBook and monkeying with the Display preference pane. While screen sharing, I tried using SwitchResX, too (not too certain of the settings though) - No luck.
Of note:
1. Before the trouble began, I was pleasantly surprised to see "LG" (automatically) listed as the display in the Display preference panel. Support was literally plug and play. Currently, when I drive via Screen Sharing, "LG" is no longer listed. Alternatively, when I connect to the Sharp Aquous, the Display preference panel DOES list "Sharp" as the display.
Any ideas?

I'd be interested in any resolution here. Here's my story:
I have a Mac Mini model MA723LL/A and a Haier P42LV6-T1 42" HDTV plasma with VGA and HDMI inputs. I first attempted to hook the Mac to the plasma TV using the DVI->VGA adapter that came with the Mac. I got no image at all on the TV, and the TV claimed 'No Signal'.
Then I used a DVI->HDMI adapter, and hooked the Mac to the TV thru the HDMI port. I got a picture and was happy. I setup iTunes, got the wireless working, surfed the web a bit and all was OK except the resolution seemed wonky. So I opened the Mac's settings panel to adjust the resolution, and as soon as I opened the settings panel, the screen went blank, with the TV claiming 'No Signal'. I shut off the Mac and rebooted, and from that point forward, what happens is this:
press On Button->
Apple Boot Screen->
MacOS 10 loading->
desktop For About 1 millisecond->
screen goes blank with TV claiming 'No Signal'
I hooked the Mac to my Dell 20" LCD monitor thru the monitor's DVI input and got a great picture. I tested all the resolution settings, and everything was fine. I have tested the Mac on the TV with all available resolution settings and it's always the same story (see above for sequence)
I'm kinda at the end of my rope. The Mac seems to be changing something on its video output at the end of its bootup, but I have no clue what. Has anyone seen anything like this? Any advice at all?

Delete email in mavericks mac mail doesn't work with google app

Hello,
I've got a macbook pro retina. I've received it with mavericks pre-installed, I've done the update to 10.9.1.
I got a google app account it was use previously with mac mail on mac os X 10.8.
I've resetup it with the all mail settings imap shown. The "Auto-Expunge on" is set to "- Immediately update the server. (default)"
The problems are:
- each time I delete a message in inbox it re-appear if I click on another folder (like sent) and go back to inbox.
- if I move a message from inbox to a local folder it doesn't move it, It copy it. Before mavericks that feature was working.
Could you tell me what are the right settings in google app mail to set to work well with mavericks?
Thanks a lot, this new mac mail app is hard to work with...

Links in Mac Mail no longer work

I'm using Mac Mail 3.6, and I cannot get my added links to open the web site in Safari?
I go to link under Edit- then click on add, type in the url, and then it creates a blue link in the email message. But when I click it- it won't open?
Am I missing something?

I cannot figure out why either, but this seemed to start two days ago. No updates that I know of, except one for Mac for Office (which obviously should not affect anything else). None of the links in my incoming email are working. Caused a work problem this morning when I could not access an online conference I needed to attend. Could not open the link in their email to get in!
Also, I have had intermittent "sending" issues where my messages seem to "hang" and give me an error message about the server.
I have used Mac Mail for years, same network, etc. and have never had any issues...now two issues seem to have cropped up at once! I'll try the restart again, as suggested. Does Apple know about this?

Mac Mail refuses to work with exchange

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. My job uses Outlook Web Access for e mail, but it goes to my iPhone and iPad just fine. I tried setting up the same exchange settings on Mail 4.3. It completely destroyed my program. I had imap gmail set up in Mac Mail and both accounts refused to send or receive any e mail at all. I deleted both and emptied my cache (essentially resetting mail to factory) and set up just the exchange account. It connects to pop and smtp, but refuses to send or receive anything. I don't even get the rotating circle that it's even trying. I've had to dump the program and use Entourage, which I hate.
I really want to use Mac Mail is there anything else I can do? My IT department is pretty unknowledgable when it comes to Macs.

Anyone? I'm now using Outlook and it's worse.

Mac email doesn't work with iCloud

Since the move from mobileme email to iCloud I can only get email accounts working for a short period, and sometimes not at all on agiven day.
What we had on mobileme was a family acount with 4 active email accounts.
These all worked fine and all came in as seperate mailboxes to the mail client on the Mac. Nice and exactly what we wanted.
Since iCliud these accounts all work fine on IOS devices where the account matches the appleID logged in on the account.
Email on the Mac is different. I am often asked for the password for the individual accounts registered within email. Sometimes these passwords are accepted and I can send and receive email, sometimes they are not. Neither of these things sound right to me a) why only ask sometimes? b) if it works once why doesn't it always work.
I have tried (over 20 times now - waiting for varying lengths of time up to several days) the following to find a solution:
1. Finding a post on these support forums or elswhere that says it has the definitive way of getting the whole account thing sorted out. It does seem many people have had issues moving email to iCloud.
2. Creating new accounts for the email addresses required following the instructions exactly and having someone else check that I am.
3. Trying the account immediately (actually email just does this). Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
4. Waiting and trying it later. Sometimes the account will work for a couple of days but eventually everything reverts to the asking for and rejecting/accepting the password.
5. Going back to step 1
Other iCloud services work fine e.g. Calendar synch.
Any help gratefully received. This has been going on for months.

I'm sure you migrated the primary MobileMe account to iCloud, but did you migrate each of the other email accounts as well. Just migrating the primary account does not migrate the others.

Yahoo mail no longer working with IPad

My ipad is no longer keeping copies of the yahoo emails I leave in my Inbox. It's only downloading New emails and once those have been opened they are no longer accessible. The other mail accounts that I have set up on IPad still work find. Any ideas?

Have you looked at the advanced setting for you Yahoo mail account. There you can select when you want read emails to be deleted. Options vary from Never to one day. Maybe it changed somehow

Mac Powerbook no longer works with my routers but is working at other wireless locations?

I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and have been experiencing this internet connection issue to my router for about a year. Any help with this issue would be great!!! Thank you!

What is the Model no of the Router...?
Who is your ISP...?
Are you not able to go online or facing intermittent connection ..?
Are you able to go online from the computer wired to the router...?
Try changing the wireless channel on the router,change the SSID(Network Key),check the security and try to connect again on the computer.

Mail app not working with iCloud, new emails and recently sent not showing at all in the app.

I've been using the iCloud mail for quite some time now

A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
