Mac not collecting Mail since Yosemite install

I have installed Yosemite on my Macbook. Mail is not collecting any emails sent to my icloud address. I am sending test messages from my iPhone and icloud.com is collecting them online, also my iPhone is collecting them. I have checked in Mail and icloud is added as an account. Also I have gone into System Prefs and checked iCloud account is working that way. I have used connection doctor and get the spinning wheel of despondency but don't know why.
Mail is not sending emails either. It is almost as though I am not connected to the net.

mac pro runs slow since i installed mountain lion

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

My mail on my mac hasn't worked since I installed maverick and yosemite neither

I am not ever so 'techy' but Ive been trying and trying to get my mail to work ever since I installed mavericks. It still doesn't work on yosemite! I tried a few things before but just gave up!!

Hi There,
I have similar issues with the whole MS Office solution since I "upgraded' towards Yosemite:
when I use Cmd+W or the "close" menu option to close a Word file, Word crashes down (I always send a message to Microsoft but I guess this is more related to Yosemite or to its installation; consequence is it become very difficult to close a file, as it re-opens it the next time :-(
same thing for Excel and PowerPoint
When I try to save in PDF format a Word file containing several sections, it produces one PDF file per section - wasn't before Yosemite
Excel crashes down much more often than before because of lack of memory
Well, if someone has a suggestion, I would be grateful, 'cause it is becoming actually boring - and counter-productive !

Apple mail not working since Yosemite installed

I have had not new mail on my MacBook Pro laptop for several days. I do receive mail on my iPod Touch. The popup message on the MacBook mail states: "Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk. " Please advise what to do - I am reluctant to allow insecure authentication.
Sharon

I am reluctant to allow insecure authentication.
You should be, but if that's what your mail server requires, you'll have to do it anyway, or else switch mail providers (recommended.)

Time Machine Backups gone since Yosemite install?

And on a second, possibly related, issue (as discussed in this thread: TimeMachine backups are not accessible after the clean install of Yosemite):
Just had a weird glitch with Dropbox recently whereby files and folders disappeared but I thought "It's ok. Everything is Time Machined. I'm fine!" only to discover that my backups on the Time Machine only extend to the last week... which is shocking, to say the least.
I know for a fact that a few days ago I saw that my 750GB external TM drive was down to about 8GB free and now there is suddenly 82GB free, plus a never before seen folder called "lost+found" next to the Backups.backupdb folder. What is it and where did it come from?
Just noticed now that my 750 GB drive holds 13.68 TB of data (that is seriously impressive), and that the lost+found folder is 22.66 GB big.
Fortunately, Dropbox has the "Restore Files and Folders" feature so hopefully nothing is lost but this Time Machine glitch is a horrible eye opener - all of a sudden I cannot rely on my backups extending back at least a few months, like I have entrusted it to do for years.
Since upgrading to Yosemite I have had a whole bunch of... seemingly trivial... glitches and bugs (dropbox syncing errors, re-establishing Apache and a local test-server issues plus a few other minor irritants plus the unexpected random reboot of the computer twice in the last 2 weeks) that have now all added up to leave me anxious about what new problem is going to manifest.
For example, in trying to view any Time Machine logs that might give a clue as to when or why the backups have disappeared I opened Console only to find that the console window doesn't appear. Anywhere. Even new ones.
I'm not a geek and have no idea how Console might help me but i was simply following the instructions in this link http://www.macworld.com/article/1131534/tmeye.html but Yosemite is not doing what I think it should.
This is what that app LogViewer Time Machine displays (seriously, my Console doesn't show a window - how do I fix that?) about the earliest backup, which is from Tuesday, Nov 18, 2014.

Any help or assistance or guidance would be deeply appreciated. Haven't had any major issues with this machine since I got it, till the Yosemite update.

Just back from an Xmas break in the wilderness and took a look at my Mac. Firstthing I see is that Time Machine has not backed up since 24th Dec. LogViewer for TimeMachine reports the following:
12:15:13 am - Starting automatic backup

12:15:15 am - Backup failed with error 2: 2
With variations of the same till today. My 750GB WD Elements external is still there visible on the desktop, displaying 66GB free with the "lost+found" folder and the Backups.backup folder, only this time neither is displaying any contents.
Seriously, does anyone have any idea what is going on with Time Machine? If I cannot rely on it for automatic backups I don't know what I am going to do. It has ALWAYS been there, working perfectly in the background and saving my *** numerous times.

Problem collecting mail since 8th/9th - almost a s...

Is anyone having or aware of any general problems or issues collecting email since about Wednesday night 8th/9th June? -- I use OE.
BT has been my ISP for several years, so I have BT addresses as well as some set up with a former ISP (tesco.net) which are also of course handled via the BT Yahoo account. All are set up correctly (I've checked the settings are in place as they should be, and haven't been varied/altered for any reason), and they've always all worked without any problems at all since joining BT.
But between switching off the system in the early hours of Thursday morning and booting up again later in the day, collecting mail has been a nightmare. At first it seemed as if clicking Send/Receive froze it up, but I realised later on it wasn't actually stalling altogether -- it's just very, VERY slow. For instance it takes the best part of an hour to download one small message of a line or two, maybe about 2kb.
Outgoing SMTP mail for both lots of accounts via mail.btinternet.com is no trouble at all and works completely normally at the usual speed and with no issues. Only incoming mail is affected, but I can't think it's anything to do with the Tesco POP3 address, because it's not only affecting mail on those accounts, but the BT ones as well (mail.btinternet.com again). They're all having the same problem.
Of course I can check both sets of inboxes online for incoming messages, but it's a hassle as I use the various different accounts for different categories of mail, so it's less straightforward than the convenience of a desktop client which I'm so used to, where they come in to one place and I'm able to browse all my mail from there, as well as store it on the system and compose at leisure offline. Online means logging in and out of each one individually. I just hate webmail... call me old-fashioned!
Internet browsing is unaffected, with Firefox (and IE). My BB package renewed at the beginning of the month and I changed from Option 3 to Option 2, but (a) this was about a week before the problem began, and (b) I'm not sure it would have any bearing anyway.
So any general issues anyone's aware of which are going on at the moment, or any ideas?
Many thanks.

I still have this problem. Yesterday I thought it might have sorted itself out, but no such luck. As I have several different email accounts (and they all have the same trouble whether it's a BT address or others from another ISP), I've only been trying to download mail for one account at a time (in turn) with OE, instead of all accounts at once.
Yesterday seemed no different to begin with, than it had been for the previous week -- clicked Receive for one of the accounts, the dialog box showed 3 messages to download, and as usual it was slow, slow, SLOW. The first message took all of about 50-55m to come in, and it was only 4kb! But then suddenly the other 2 following it came in at normal speed in a flash, as they should.
Tried another account where I knew there was mail in (having seen it on the server). They came in normally too. And so did all the rest of the accounts. Brilliant! -- I thought FINALLY, whatever the cause had been, I was through it. And I was thrilled as I'd been able to get all my mail in up to date at one sitting instead of the laborious process of going through each account in turn and having to walk away from the machine between them to do something else.
But a few hours later when I collected again, it was back to ultra-slow again. And today the same.
I've been searching around for some answers without a lot of luck: quite a few seem to report an overall slowness problem, or they're having problems sending mail out, but not so much my situation which only affects incoming mail. As I posted before, I can send normally, and the browser's also unaffected (so it's not the connection) -- it only happens with incoming mail.
Eventually I came across this 2009 page which seems to sum it up exactly:
http://www.nologinspace.com/show item.aspx?itemf=187&title=BT Internet POP Problems and Issues
There's no solution given, but it seems to nail the problem I'm having, and suggests it's some unknown issue to do with BT's POP servers.
Anyone come across this problem, or able to throw any more light on it? Or know what (if anything) can be done?
The only slight difference between their description and me is I don't get a timeout or error message, just sometimes the prompt "Your server has not responded in xxx seconds" and asking if I want to Stop or Wait. If that appears I tell it to wait, as my experience over the last week is the mail does arrive eventually if I wait long enough. Unlike them I haven't been deleting mail off the server either (except any spam), for the same reason. I've done that very occasionally in the past if one particular message persistently seems to be causing a logjam, but this doesn't strike me as one of those scenarios, because it's doing it over and over and over again, even when all previous mail has been cleared (excrutiatingly slowly!) from the accounts a few hours earlier, and every inbox is starting from empty with a completely new batch of different messages.
Any thoughts and possible solutions really appreciated.

Usb hotspot is not working anymore since i installed itunes 10.6.3

USB hotspot is not working anymore... since i installed itunes 10.6.3
Please help me... how can i fix it.
I have wondows 7.

1.- Thanks for answering.
2.- I think I did not explain myself properly: The iPod is detected by both Windows and iTunes 10.5.3 64bit version.
The problem lies in that now after all the failures and the loss of my music (imagine I have to rip my entire CD collection again) whenever I try to sync my iTunes collection to my iPad (either on a single batch or album by album) a -50 o -69 error appears.
UPDATE: Now whenever I connect my iPod to the computer, it is recognized by Windows, but iTunes tells me that I have to restore it.
I cannot but commend Apple Inc. on his efforts to make a 9 months iPod unsuable. Sincerely this has brought me back to the worst of the 90s with MS.
UPDATE 2: Please let me add that with the previous iTunes version everything was ok. But, as soon as I installed the new Itunes (10.5.3 64bit) version the misery began. Unfortunately when I try to install the previous version I'm not allowed by the program and am referred to the newest buggy one.

Bought two audition cs6 licenses one for pcs and one for mac, not finding any way to install on mac

I bought two audition cs6 licenses, one for our pcs and one for our macs...not finding any way to install on our macs...when I run the cd it only has programs for windows...nothing for mac...I have my mac serial number, but no install app...

If you don't have the Mac files with the disc you can probably still download the installation files and use your serial number from the purchase to activate. Here is a link to CS6 downloads:
Download CS6 products
You should check with Adobe support regarding getting the disc copy of the files if that is what you purchased, unless they know something that would result in the files already being in your possession thru that disc somehow.

Since Yosemite Install Mail has reverted to POP from IMAP

I noticed that my Comcast Mail account now functions like a POP mail not IMAP. This happened when I upgraded to Yosemite. I checked my Comcast Mail parameters and everything looks OK. But as a result I now have to delete my mail from both my iMac and my iPhone.
Any ideas?

Mail/Preferences/Accounts - does it show as a POP or IMAP account?

My cursor keeps jumping all over the place in Mail since I installed Yosemite

I installed Yosemite yesterday, and now, whenever I try to write an email, my cursor keeps jumping all over the place. I can't write more than a few words without my cursor jumping back in the middle of one of the previous words. I makes Mail almost unusable. Am I the only one with this problem?

Similar problem. Mine seems to happen in mail - my cursor jumps to the line below and carries on typing - almost as if I'd pressed the down arrow to move the cursor. It seems to happen more when I type an apostrophe too.

Firefox will not display videos since Yosemite migration

Good day!
I run an early 2011 15" MacBook Pro, 2,2 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4g 1333 MHz DDR3 Memory, and an Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384 Mo. Firefox is 34.0.5.
Since I migrated to Yosemite (10.10.1), the browser I use (Firefox) will not display the videos, but plays the sound out of them...
I tried to clear the PRAM (NVRAM) with the Command (⌘), Option, P, and R, but it doesn't work. I even tried to shut down the graphic acceleration option in Firefox, to no avail...
What else should I do? Any solution out there?
Thanks, and Merry Christmas to you all!
