Mac upgrade to 10.8.3 causes issues in mail and google chrome
After upgrading my computer to 10.8.3 th other day, I have been having quite a few issues.
I have a 2011 Macbook Pro.
The first thing I noticed was that after closing the lid (and the computer sleeps), mail will disconnect, and show the triangle icon with the exclamation mark in the middle. WHen I click on it, it says 'Unable to connect. There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Gmail” or try again. The server returned the error: The server “imap.gmail.com” cannot be contacted on port 993.'
When I open connection doctor, it looks like this:
But most of the time, the top light is green and the 2 underneath are red.
I have checked the settings an it allows SSL.
THe only thing that seems to fix it is to quit mail every time after sleep, which is getting very tiresome. Please help!
THe other issue I have is that when I open google chrom (after sleep), the wifi is connected and working but web pages will not load for a couple of minutes after I have opened the computer. And, the first page that I load shows up like this:
Then, the internet seems to come on and I can open a new tab and access any other website. But, for the first page that I load, it will not connect to the page for at least another couple of minutes. Even when other tabs/sites are working, the first site chosen just shows up with this screen, over and over when refreshed, even though the internet is working.
This happens when I close the lod for even a couple of seconds or when I try to turn the wifi on/off.
The same thing happens when I tried using safari.
Please help! This is so frustrating!
In my experience, it may take a few seconds to reconnect, but that's the maximum.
I use iCloud and Comcast, so I'm not familiar with how Gmail performs, but it's related to how quickly their respective mail servers reconnect.
It could also be related to the performance of your wifi router. Is its firmware up to date?
I'm using an Airport Extreme and don't have the issues that you are reporting.

Are there any known compatibility issues with iMac and Google Chrome?
Does anyone know of any compatibility issues with iMac and Google chrome. A Facebook friend who is a photographer posted recently that Chrome had ruined his iMac. He stead that it ran an update on itself that made safari and chrome unusable - slow running overall. In the end he had to reinstall his OS.
Is anyone aware of this and should I un-install Chrome off my Mac?
Thanks,
S.There is nothing official but your post will attract a variety of personal experiences. I once loaded Chrome and found myself with the dreaded MacKeeper malware, loads of pop ups and conflicts with my system. Part of the problem is the huge range of add ons you are tempted to take on, many of which are not as strictly tested as Apple extensions. I would say, unless you have a specific reason, leave it alone. The best browser is Firefox and for Macs, Safari is OK.

Anyone having issues with Expose and Google Chrome?
Here is what's happening:
This only happens when Chrome is opened, the windows display oddly when in Expose.
For example, when two non Google Chrome applications are open, it show one on top and one on the bottom. When Chrome is open, (and only a total of two applications open) it shows one window to the right, another in the middle, and the left is a large blank area.
The same thing happens with three applications. When Chrome is open, the windows are top left, top right, and bottom right. When close, it's two at the top and one in the middle at the bottom. This is very odd behavior and I can replicate it on two machines very easily.
Once I quit Chrome, everything works fine again.It looks fine to me. Here are three apps (Firefox, Chrome, System Preferences) running with a Time Machine backup in progress...
Here's Time Machine, Chrome and NetNewsWire...

Having mail 4.5 issues- open mail and get a new features message that says in order to use the new features, I must import existing messages into the new version first in order to use mail 4.5. Just recently put in MAC OSX 10.6.7. Once it imports I am to click done to start using mail, but end up with the rainbow wheel of death and it also says you cannot use mail until the import is finished? Now What?
Is Mail still "spinning"? If it's been doing that for a while, I'd kill it, using either Activity Monitor or the OS X application picker. Then relaunch Mail and see what happens.
Two "by the ways":
1) Your system details mention an PPC iMac. Since a non-Intel Mac can't run OS X 10.6, you seem to have another Mac. You might want to consider updating your system details.
2) You seem to have been misled by the poor labeling of the message composition fields on this forum into trying to enter your entire post into the "subject" field. In the future, just enter a summary of your post there and the main text into the field below it. -
On Safari Adobe Flash freezes at times on popular Flash chatroom I visit and on Google Chrome when I try to type the typing is laggy delayed. Adobe Flash needs to be fixed in Safari and possibly other Browsers, and Google Chromes html5 or whatever flash replacement their browser uses ***** on older hardware.
Go for Safari always, you will have more advantages than any other browser. You can safely install the Adobe Flash pluguin, it will install as pref pane in your System Preferences. From there you can limit its access, block sites for storing info in your mac.
Under the advanced tab of the Flash Player in System Preferences, check “Notify me to install updates”, so you are always up to date (feel free to check out any update directly form the Adobe website to be safe).
Steve does't want to allow Flash for iOS due to security issues (long story). But it's OK for mac, if you keep an eye on it.
Google's Chrome its decent, but you know, it's Google. I will prefer to take the advantage of the Apple's ecosystem, like syncing all Safari content and passwords with iCloud, to keep using it in your iOS devices. You can have an open page in your mac, and go to your iPad and continue with the same page.
Also you can find some useful Safari extensions that will trick the websites to load an HTML5 version of the video instead of flash (like if you were on an iPad). -

Note that you lose privacy when using Gmail (and Yahoo):
Gmail and Yahoo both scan users' emails. They do algorithmic analysis of your email messages, targeting ads that relate to the content of your messages. -

Issues with Mail and SMTP and Gmail Accounts
So this isn't a question....more like a solution that I had to figure out.
We have multiple gmail accounts in our family and after upgrading to OSC Yosemite our gmail accounts wen't haywire. My wife was sending emails that eventually were sent from my gmail account (mass neighborhood emails at that.....and all replies came to me instead of her). I spent about 2 hours investigating and put together several different threads that finally fixed out problem. The root of the issue is that you can share the same Incoming Mail Server for all of your gmail accounts and your mail will go to the accounts that it is supposed to go to, but you have to have individual Outgoing Mail Servers for each of your accounts otherwise all outgoing mail will come from one account only. I don't know why this happened, it is a pain in the butt, but here's how I fixed it with 3 gmail accounts running through 1 mac.
1st - you need to remove all of your gmail accounts from mail via Internet Accounts in Settings. Just highlight the account and hit the minus sign at the bottom. You won't lose anything if you have your gmail settings set to default which backs everything up to Google's servers....it will all load back to you mac and it will all be available online at gmail.com
2nd - you need to add back all of your accounts one at a time (and follow all of the following steps for each account before adding another). Select the plus sign and choose Google (for gmail accounts only).
3rd - Give your gmail account a recognizable name in the "Name" field (if you have multiple Gmail accounts to add, you will want to distinguish between them).
4th - type in your username ([email protected]) and password. Make sure to add the suffix @gmail.com.
5th - Check the boxes that you want to add to your mac (mail, contacts, calendars, messages, notes).
6th - Click the "Details" button to ensure that you have an adequate description (see # 3 above) if you are going to have multiple gmail accounts to add.
7th - Open the Mail app.
8th - From Mail Preferences/Account Information Tab - make sure that you account is Enabled (check box next to "Enable Account", make sure that you have an adequate description name, email address is correct, Incoming mail server is imap.gmail.com, Username is your normal gmail login username (absent any suffix like .gmail.com), password is your gmail password.
9th - Then, from Preferences click on the Advanced tab and....Uncheck "Automatically detect and maintain account settings".
10th - Then, go back to Account Information Tab and.....from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) dropdown box, select Edit SMTP List....
11th - You need to create an individual SMTP Server Account for each gmail account that you plan to add.
12th - To do this click the plus button. Server Name should always be smtp.gmail.com. Type in your own Description (I recommend naming it after the gmail account that you plan to attach it to).
13th - TLS Certificate should be "None"
14th - Click the Advanced Tab - From here, uncheck the box for "Automatically detect and maintain account settings". Then make sure Port is 587 (default is 25 for some ungodly reason). Check the box for "Use SSL".
15th - Set authentication to "Password". User name MUST contain a suffice (i.e [email protected]). Password is your normal gmail password.
16th - Click OK.
17th - Now your back at Preferences/Account Information - Link your account to the SMTP server that you just created by using the dropdown box next to Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP).
18th - Save all changes and close out of Mail App.
19th - Restart Mail and recheck steps 8-15....for some reason my passwords kept getting erased, but they eventually saved and took.
20th - Add another gmail account by following these steps and then recheck all along the way for passwords, suffixes, everything. You will want to make sure that your accounts are all properly linked to their respective Outgoing Mail Servers (hence the distinct naming descriptions).
21st - Once you have added multiple accounts send email between them to make sure that they are being sent from and received to the correct accounts.Wow! Oh my goodness Patrick, thank you so much man. That's a ton of informatiion to take the time to write out step by step and share with strangers. I really, really am grateful to you. I've been dealing with this for a month, half the month I kept changing my passwords and kept assuming I was making some mistake. It used to work fine. About a week ago I started looking for a solution and couldn't find one that worked.
You have changed that sir! I'm good to go, stress level will lower when I am on my Mac, and I'm so glad to not have all these messages popping back up that I was done with!
Muchos Gracias Amigo! Owe you one... -
Issue with Mail and limited account rights
Has anyone else noticed similar problem as I did:
When you don't have permission to create new mailboxes to root of an mail account and then turn on automatic moving to Junk folder, and saving of sent messages on server, it just discards all Spam-marked and sent messages. By deafult at least Mail seems not to be able to handle similar folders created as subfolders of Inbox.
Issue is quite annoying, while account where these limited rights occur, is quite important and there is nothing I can do with the permissions.
I don't know if Mail worked correctly, when using only one account, but when using multiple accounts at least, this problem occurs. Is there any solution available?All mailboxes under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk are account mailboxes (with the exception of the On My Mac named mailbox under Trash in the mailboxes drawer) which are created and managed automatically by Mail. You cannot create mailboxes/subfolders under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash or Junk.
The "On My Mac" named Trash mailbox under Trash in the mailboxes drawer is created automatically by Mail when selecting a message for deletion located in a user created "On My Mac" mailbox.
When switching to saving messages on the server for a .Mac or IMAP type account, I believe the existing messages in the locally stored Sent mailbox for the account should be transferred to the server stored mailbox which will be located under the IMAP account named icon in the mailboxes drawer.
Regarding switching Junk Mail from Training to Automatic, what is the setting under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for automatically deleting messages from the account's Junk mailbox?
The only mailboxes you can create are "On My Mac" mailboxes which are stored locally on the hard drive and if you have a .Mac or IMAP type account, you have an additional option for creating a server stored mailbox for the .Mac or IMAP type account which will be located under the .Mac or IMAP account named icon in the mailboxes drawer. -
I get Lotus Notes Mail from the Acton site link to the lotus domino server.
Works fine in IE9 (32 & 64bit) and with Google Chrone. Google 7 gives the following error:-
"A problem has occurred which may have caused the current operation to fail."Actually, this isn't a cache problem, it's an issue with iNotes and Firefox 4. I found the answer in comments at a similar question. See:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/798271#answer-153202
I downloaded the Remote XUL Manager add-on for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remote-xul-manager/), restarted FF, went to Tools and scrolled down and clicked on "Remote XUL Manager." I clicked "Add" and pasted the URL for the link where I log-in to Lotus Notes into the dialogue box, and ta-dah! Back to email. Took me longer to type this than fix the problem. -
Very Odd Issue Using Mail and Comcast
I have been unable to send email from my Comcast email account in Apple Mail. It shows emails as having been sent fine, but they don't arrive at the other persons mailbox. I have tried sending test emails to myself, to no avail. I tried trashing the preference file, which cleared up the issue, only for it to return several hour (or even minutes) later. This issue is particularly annoying because one would never know it exists. All emails sent from this account appear to send fine, with no errors being reported, but never are sent. I can send emails fine from my gmail account using Apple Mail, and for experimental purposes I tried Thunderbird, which worked fine. The SMTP server is clearly not the issue. I tried other servers, including the local server, using RapidoSMTP, but still, the same issue. Just a note: I can recieve emails on that account, but not send them. My installed plugins for Mail are: AttachmentScanner, MailFollowup, and Growl Mail. If anyone can offer any tips on resolving this weird issue, please share them.
If Mail put the message in Sent, that means the outgoing (SMTP) server told Mail that the message would be delivered. If the message never reached its destination, it could be because the SMTP server didn’t fulfill its promise or because the message was filtered out by either the recipient’s incoming mail server or the recipient’s mail client for some (probably spam-related) reason.
Check that your System Preferences > Date & Time settings are correct. An invalid timestamp in the message headers could be the reason one of the servers involved is rejecting those messages.
It’s strange that the problem happens with Mail, but not with other mail clients such as Thunderbird, though. I can only guess there is something about the way the messages are composed/encoded when you use Mail that causes them to be considered spam at some point. If you compose those messages as Rich Text, try composing them as Plain Text instead. -

Upgrade to MQ 5.3 causing issues
We have been using the alpha code for 'MQ Series JMS Support' for the last
18 months or so without any issues on WLS 6.0 first and then WLS 6.1.
The runtime is still available at
http://dev2dev.bea.com/codelibrary/code/mqseries.jsp
While I understand that this is Alpha code and not officially supported by
Bea, can someone please try to help me with the below issues ?
We are doing an upgrade from MQ Series 5.2 to 5.3 or are suddenly seeing the
infamous 'NoClassDefFoundError' on one of the XA classes. I think I may
know what's going on but have no way to fix the problem. The
wlsmqseries.jar was built using the MQ Series 5.2 libraries. Since we are
upgrading to MQ Series 5.3 the classes in wlsmqseries.zip need to be rebuilt
using the new APIs (I am pretty sure there are no API changes). Is it
possible that the contributor of this utility (if reading this email) build
wlsmqseries.jar using the MQ Series 5.3 libraries and release it. Or
alternatively, I'll be happy to do the build if the source is given. Most
of the stuff in the dev2dev site has code included. This one seems to be
one of the few that doesn't have code.
Note - Upgrading to WLS 7.0 or 8.1 is not an option for another 6 months :(
Help ! Please !
Adarsh
Alex,
I was wrong on the analysis. The problem vanished after I included the MQ
libraries in my library path. I am now able to do XA transactions with the
MQ Series 5.3 Queue Manager without any issues (ofcourse, using your
wrappers).
I apologize for the false alarm :)
Thanks for your immediate response,
Adarsh

HI,
we have an SBS2008, has been working fine for a long time, don't know when or why this issue has started.
A user couldn't connect to PC using RWW - so I checked rdp to that pc from the server and also couldn't rdp to pc - checked ping and couldn't find host = no DNS (although there IS an entry in DNS). Ping by IP is fine 192.168.10.114
Added host entry for this PC and all works fine
BUT...
there are other users with the same problem, and when i ping other devices by name from the SBS it either can't see them, or it uses IPv6 - something i think i remeber us disabling (with the help of Microsofdt Support) year sago when the server went in,
and had internet DNS issues.
I have tried flushing dns cache on server to no avail.
All PCs show in the SBS console as status "unknown" which i have seen before with DNS issues.
can anyone help?
Thanks,
JJHi,
Lets make sure we are running Single NIC on the server. DNS pointing to Servers IP Address itself. Disable TaskOffloading and Receive Side Scaling on the NIC and reboot the server.
Note - Don't disable IPV 6
