Mail can't finish creating new account

I've scoured the forums for this one but so far not seen the answer...
Upon trying to setup a new additional account in Mail 3.3 the process stops when Mail tries to verify the outgoing mail server.
I've tried all the normal troubleshooting: deleting prefs, permissions, fix directory (Disk Warrior) you name it. I've verified that the new account settings are correct because I can get either Thunderbird, Entourage or Eudora to authenticate and work. But no matter what I try Mail will not setup a second account!
This problem started with 10.4 and I figured with a clean install of 10.5 it would go away. Guess not. Although the OS is a clean install I did transfer settings and mailboxes from the old OS (not the app itself).
Any ideas?

I've had this happen to me several times and given enough time (up to 15 minutes sometimes) the setup process would always complete even if there was a problem reaching the smtp server. try waiting it out. it might be all you have to do.

Can't create new account without a credit card?

I recently made a brand new Apple ID for the iCloud and because my old ID was years old and I don't even use the email address it was registered on. Registering it went fine. But now that I want to update some of my apps via the iTunes store, it says I can't verify my new account without credit card information. I don't have a credit card at this time. I do plan on getting one soon, but until then I'd like to be able to update my apps, use iTunes cards, and download free podcasts with my new account. Is it possible to get my new account up and running without credit card info?

I think you can create an Apple ID without credit card

My friend gave me ipod touch with all his accounts, i created new accounts but when i went on the appstore and tried to update apps installed by him,i was asked his account's password! i dont know his password.how can i use my account to update apps?

You can't. Apps and really all content purchased/downloaded through one Apple ID is forever tied to that Apple ID. In the case of Apps they will always request that Apple ID to update as they are licensed to that Apple ID.
In reality, the Apps were licensed to that Apple ID by the developer. And cannot simply be given away to you for you to use.
He should have wiped the iPod clean so you could set it up for your use without any of his accounts or purchased content as you are not really licensed to any of those Apps.
Your friend should have followed this support document before giving the iPod to you:

Can't create new accounts in Manager

I can not create a new account for my employee within my Skype Manager. I've followed all the steps correctly. I get the the end of the page after entering all information correctly, and page reds "creating account this may take a few minutes", then next page loads and reads "0 accounts were created". ????
I tried chat support 3 times, but they keep giving me the instructions from the manual that I have been following. They also suggested it was my web browswer which isn't the issue because I installed google chrome just to try to fix the problem.
Can anyone help??

I'm really getting irritated that something so basic still doesn't work, and there doesn't seem to be much concern about fixing it. Yesterday, when I went to the chat feature and asked for an update on JIRA Trouble Ticket (SIPTSOB-371), I got fobbed off with the ticket isn't old enough to have any information (clearly they didn't even bother to check). Further, I was told to check here, instead, à la "don't call us, we'll call you", where's there's been no official activity or update of any kind for at least a day.
This is pretty basic; I create accounts so I can allocate credits, which causes me to buy more, which is one way Skype makes money. So, since I can't even create an account, I guess that sort of makes me wonder if you guys are really in business or not?

How can I reset my security questions? Everytime I try again like thousand time all I get nothing. It won't appear my mail. I tried create new Apple ID but I don't have card to buy. I only have iTunes card. I was think about drown my phone in toilet

Contact Apple support at 800MYAPPLE and ask them to assist you with resetting your security quesitons.
They will ask you to verify your identity. Not usually a big issue. Call them ask for assistance.
They can walk you through getting the security question issues resolved.
Good luck.

Can I still create new sites in iweb and publish them to mobile me?

Can I still create new sites in iweb and publish them to mobile me? Also Can the sites not contain movies or photos, or just not a full gallery?

You can have as many sites and domain names on a single MMe account. However, only one site can use the CNAME domain name forwarding while the others must use URL forwarding.
Multiple Sites with Domain Name(s) in a Single MobileMe Account
Here's how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
Click to view full size
2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/SiteName, or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding. This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site. This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents.
Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site. This can be accomplished is three ways.
1 - don't use the CNAME method. Just use URL forwarding . This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?
In iWeb domainfile 1:
Create a dummy site : _dummy
with a blank page.
Create your working site : Whatever
Add pages
Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
Check.
In iWeb domainfile 2:
Create/Use your CurrentSite.
Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
Check.
From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
3 - use Ethmoid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses CNAME forwarding. Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file.
The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.
Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
NOTE: the CNAME method provides a shorter URL: http://www.DomainName.com/Site_Name/PageName. CNAME does not have masking.
The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:
http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/Domain_Name/PageName.
With domain name masking that will be shortened to:
http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
However, visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site. If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page. Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.

Create new account and reset password options on AAD signIN page

Hi there:
When using Azure Active Directory as an authentication provider for Azure Mobile Services, authentication works fine, but what about signing UP. How can I add the typical links like "Create new account" (with a confirmation link via email) and
"Reset Password" to the SignIN page?.
Thx in adv,
Gerardo

This is actually a question relating to AAD, not Mobile Services, as AAD is in control of that page, etc.
However, Azure Active Directory is intended as an enterprise identity management solution. There is no sign-up process, as users are managed explicitly by the organization.
My understanding is that you are looking for a custom authentication solution where users have usernames/passwords associated with your application. AAD is not meant for this use case. We do have
a tutorial for working with your own database, but you are responsible for the security, etc.

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account.

settings -> iTunes & App Store

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

Why i can't not create new database in oracle 10g express

why i can't not create new database in oracle 10g express?
should i use oracle 11g standard edition?
thanks

In Oracle a schema is what a 'database' is in Sqlserver.
And if you would have been aware about the limitations of XE, you would have known you can only create *1* (one) database using Oracle XE.
However, probably you don't need a new database at all, and a schema will suffice.

Have IMAC, Mountain Lion mail. Each time I open mail, the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google" followed by a request for a password of an acct that was previously deleted. How do I get rid of the message? Thanks

I have an IMAC, Mountain Lion. Each time I open my mail, a message box appears with the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google", followed by Enter the password for the user *****@gmail.com. The full account that appears is an account that I had previously deleted. I cannot prevent the message box from appearing. What do I have to tweak in order for this annoying box to keep reappearing. I have deleted everything I know of in Google mail and my IMAC mail. Thanks for any feedback

From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Look for the unwanted SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

Selling iBook, how restore OS X so it would play the intro and allow to create new account?

So I'm about to sell my iBook G4 which has Leopard in it.
Is it possible to restore it to a state where when the new owner boots it up it plays the intro video and allows him to create new account, without the old account still being present? I don't have anything important stored on that machine so of course I could just delete all stuff and leave it there but it would nice to allow the new owner to enter his own information, I tend to enter false information so my actual name or address etc. is not stored anywhere.

Perform a Erase and Install on your iBook G4 and don't complete the set up assistant after the installation.This will take care of your concern.
