Mail quit working in Snow Leopard 3 days ago on both of my iMacs. I can't find a solution.

Greetings:
3 days ago my mac MAIL quit working. I get an (repeated popup) error message indicating that my password is invalid. Is thjere a solution to this issue?
Thanks!

You should continue to dry it in rice for a week and change the rice daily.
All you can do is dry the iPod. Turning on the iPod before it is dry can can cause permanent damage.

  • Resizing images within Mail not working in Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard on both my desktop (iMAC Quad Core) and my MacBook Pro. I'm now experiencing an issue when I attach images within the Mail application.
    In the past, if I attached an image I could resize it by selecting the option at the lower right of the window and it would scale the image accordingly. Now if I select "large" it resizes the image as if I selected small. It's tiny, like 30KB. I tried it on both machines and I get the same thing.
    This was never an issue before upgrading to Snow Leopard. In the past if I selected "large" it would scale my image down to roughly 4X6 300dpi.
    Has anyone else found a fix for this issue?
    Thanks so much!

    Hi Terence,
    thanks for your reply.
    But i have now a Problem!
    iPhoto 09 itself can send max. 10 pics in one mail. When i drag & drop more photos to mail as attachement, mail can´t resize photos with greater than 150dpi correctly.
    I have many photos greater than 150 dpi
    With new iPhoto 09 i can not send:
    1. more than 10 photos
    2. without "zipping"
    with mail i can send more than 10 photos at one time but i cant resize these images!
    Allso whe i use this way:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2627690&tstart=0
    The only way to send more than 10 photos with resizing the images is:
    1. export these photos from iphoto to a folder with resizing function
    2. drag or attach these photos to a mail
    3. send mail
    4. delete the created folder with images
    5. empty trash
    iPhoto 8 can send many photos at one time including resizing and display the estimated size of mail (e.g. Megabytes).

  • My XP printer no longer works with snow leopard over the network

    My XP networked printer (Samsung 4200) no longer works with snow leopard after Mac update.  Printer hooked up to XP and can access it through network.
    When I print it requests that I to authenticate the printer with a user name and password but it's not password protected. I don't have a password, but I tried all the usuals anyways. 
    It worked fine a couple days ago, and I've tried everything since.  I've reset my printers, turned off both computers.  Plugged the printer directly into the Mac - didn't work at first but downloaded a new driver Splix - 2 (Samsung doesn't make an OS X driver for this printer) and got it working.  Reinstalled Bonjour on the PC, which can't even see a printer now.  Any help would be hugely appreciated.
    THanks in advance.

    Connecting from a Mac to Windows is password protected. If you tried to connect to a shared folder on Windows you would also be prompted to enter your Windows credentials. So when you do print next time, enter your Windows user details and password. If XP has no password then set one - it is bad practise to have a Windows computer without a password. And updates to Mac OS X expect you to have one set in the Windows computer.
    If for some reason you don't want to set a password in XP then enable the Guest account and you can use this on the Mac when you get the prompt (either select Guest or type it in).

    HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
    Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

    Keith,
    I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

    We have upgraded our server to mountain lion from snow leopard.
    At first glance all appears to have gone well, however, the ical and address book services don't appear to be working for snow leopard clients. These services DO appear to be working for lion clients.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

I also found these directions for Princeton's 2010 Exchange that might help. Did he set up the Address contacts & iCal Calenders were enabled when setting up the account in Mail?

  • How to make Canon printers work with Snow Leopard

    Can anyone explain simple language (I'm not technical which is why I chose Apple) how I can get my Canon MP 980 printer/scanner to work with Snow Leopard.
    Everything used to work perfectly and I'm beginning to regret the upgrade to Snow Leopard (what other suprises are waiting for me when I'm in a hurry?).
    I have other Canon printers in various locations (MP 600, MP 530 and iP90). Will I have similar problems with all of them and, if so, is there a simple way to resolve the issues across the board?
    I checked the Canon web-site but was totally confused
    Any help truly appreciated.

    According to Apples website; they should work. Please see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#canon
    The driver version should be: 10.26.1.0 (or greater)
    The above article was modified in December 15th 2009
    If after installing the most-up-to-date driver, via the link provided, the issue persists, reset the printing system.
    How-to reset the printing system:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/14001.html
    Then install the printing driver supplied by Canon on Apples website here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/CanonPrinter_Drivers_for_Mac_OS_X_v106
    If that still does not work, reset the printing system again. Now go to Canon's website and get the driver(s) for mac there.

    +I do not own the same printer+, however I would suggest installing some of or all of the following 3 drivers.
    If your printing via USB:
    MP980 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.26.2.0 (Mac OS X 10.5/10.6)
    If your printing via a Networked Printer:
    MP980 series MP Driver Ver.1.0 for Network (Mac OS X 10.6)
    If your going to use the scanner:
    MP980 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.8.2 (Mac OS X 10.3/10.4/10.5/10.6)
    If you scroll down further, past the 'drivers', that same website from Canon also includes step-by-step guides/manuals for setting up the printer/scanner, both via USB & WiFi.
    If the steps above did not resolve the issue, please respond back.

  • WxPerl not working in snow leopard

    Hello,
    wxPerl seems to be not working in Snow Leopard.
    The command:
    wxPerl -e "use Wx;"
    Gives:
    Can't find 'boot_Wx' symbol in /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Wx/Wx.bundle
    at -e line 1
    Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
    Is this a known bug ? Is there a work-around ?
    Regards.

    Thanks!
    I did both of what you suggested (and provided very detailed specifics of the wxPerl broken code) and was told:
    1st Case (Feedback): No response to my feedback
    2nd Case (ADC bug report): No response after obtaining an ADC account and filing a bug report
    Next, I wrote a letter to Apple, addressed to the "Macintosh Software Development Manager," providing details of the wxPerl broken code problem, the "Problem Details and System Configuration" error log from one of the many failures while trying to launch the TivoTool 0.7.0 application, remarked on the length of time that this wxPerl code has been broken (broken in 10.5.x & 10.6.x software releases) and detailing how this is disabling the TivoTool application and any other user that is dependent on wxPerl functioning. I asked that a trouble report be opened, the problem resolved, and the fix be made part of a software update. Additionally, I requested an estimated date for this resolution to be included in a software update.
    I also sent a copy of this letter and enclosures, along with a cover letter, respectively addressed to Mr. Steve Jobs, asking that he provide the proper resources to clear this long time defective code.
    Within a couple of weeks (on March 5, 2010) I received a telephone call from an Apple Executive Contact (named "Nate"), due to the letter addressed to Mr. Jobs. After gathering details on the broken wxPerl code, he promised to contact the software development folks and get back to me with his findings. Within a week of this initial contact, he again telephoned (on March 9, 2010) to say that he had contacted the software development folks, provided the information from my broken wxPerl report, that a trouble ticket was opened on the wxPerl broken code problem, and that the wxPerl broken code problem appeared to be a "low runner," e.g. not many users had reported the wxPerl broken code. Additionally, since the broken code was a "low runner," there was no target date to fix the wxPerl broken functionality.
    He suggested, until the wxPerl broken functionality was resolved, that I might want to keep a 10.4.x System hard drive available, so that when I needed the wxPerl functionality, I could boot my Mac under 10.4.x, perform my wxPerl work (e.g. use TivoTool), and then re-boot again later, under 10.6.x to use the TivoTool obtained files.
    He also suggested that I make sure that the Software Update System Preference be enabled to automatically check for updates ("Scheduled Check" tab). He added that I shouldn't rule out that the wxPerl broken code functionality might one day be resolved through a Software Update.
    I was given a case number, for future reference and to allow me to check the status of my wxPerl broken functionality trouble report.
    As my dad used to say, "That's all she wrote."
    So, because this is a "low runner" (e.g. not many people have noticed and reported the broken wxPerl code), I'd be surprised (but very delighted) to see a wxPerl fix delivered by Apple in the near future. After all, wxPerl has been broken since leaving Mac OS 10.4.x (wxPerl broken in 10.5.x and 10.6.x software releases).
    I last spoke to Nate regarding this issue on Mach 9, 2010.
    I have not included Nate's telephone number out of a courtesy to Nate, as he is not a technical person, only a contact that handles issues which have been escalated to Apple executives.
    The Apple Case Number assigned was: 153683921
    Regards to all involved and all effected.
    Thanks -
    - Dale

  • HP LaserJet P1005 not working with Snow Leopard

    Has anyone managed to get this printer to work with Snow Leopard 10.6? I have installed the latest drivers* from the HP website which BTW do not say they support 10.6 , see http://is.gd/2DfcE
    *Not sure exactly what the version number of the drivers is. The website says they are version 1.0.7, but when installed they show version 1.0.6
    I either get nothing coming out of the printer or an error "PrintJobMgr quit unexpectedly - This report will be sent to Apple automatically".

    From this web page:
    Here are some troubleshooting steps you can use if there is an issue:
    Ensure the printer is connected, has power, has ink / toner, paper, and no alerts on its built-in display.
    Network based printers should be on the same subnet; you shouldn't have to worry about this if your printer is on your home network.
    Use Software Update for the latest available updates.
    Delete the affected printer from Printer & Fax System Preferences, then re-add the printer.
    If the issue persists, reset printing system as described below, then re-add the printer.
    If the issue persists, contact the printer vendor and/or visit their website for printer software and support.

  • Can I downgrade mail from Lion Mail(v.5) to Snow Leopard Mail(v.4)?

    I just bought a new MacBook (13.3" running Lion OS 10.7.1). I -really- don't like the new format of mail and have problems with searching and other organization methods I worked out. I would like to downgrade from Lion Mail (v.5) to Snow Leopard Mail (v.4). I understand that some people have downgraded the whole operating system and saw those instructions in the discussion forums, but I would like to -only- downgrade mail. Any ideas?
    Also, any recommendations on reducing my load times and delays in mail? I have over 100,000 emails over the past 4 years that are bogging down the system. I have tried archiving some older messages, but the system freezes and then downloads all the attachments from my oldest messages, filling up the entire hard disk. Thanks in advance!

    There is a long thread about this -- https://discussions.apple.com/message/15733107#15733107 -- and the bottom line is that it is possible to install and run SL on a 2011 mini (with some rather wonky hacking...) BUT it doesn't work very well.  Performance benchmarks of the same machine in SL and Lion show the SL as definitely slower.
    Plus people are having problems with certain features on the machine not working.
    I think that your performance issues sound like something else is wrong...  The 2GB is a definite problem -- do you know that you can buy 8GB for the machine for $60, and getting it installed is a snap?  But the first thing that I would do is to install applejack and boot into single-user mode and run disk repair (aka fsck.)  Another question -- if you look on your console, do you see a voracious cpu-eating process called mds?  It's the indexer for Spotlight, and there is nothing to be done about it than to just wait it out, and your machine will work much better when it is done.  And Spotlight is not just a SL problem -- if you install SL it's going to want to index your disk, too...

  • FYI: iCloud mail password rejected on Snow Leopard and earlier Macs

    If you have set Mail up manually on Snow Leopard or earlier to access iCloud Mail, and if you have also enabled 2-step verification on your Apple ID, you will find your usual Apple ID password doesn't work. Apple are now requiring app-specific password for third-party applications to access iCloud if you have set up two-step verification (if you haven't set this up you won't be affected). Since Mail on Snow Leopard and earlier was not intended to access iCloud you will have to generate a password for it. Go to http://appleid.apple.com; click 'Manage your Apple ID' and sign in (you will be prompted for an access code sent to your trusted device). Select 'Password and Security'; click 'Generate an App-Specific Password' and follow the instructions. Once you have the password, copy it and paste it into the password field in the Account settings. You should also keep a note of it (though you can generate a new one if required).

    Thank you Roger. Good, sound advice!

  • Mail quit working.

    I use AOL for email but send and receive through Apple Mail. One day mail stopped sending and receiving; however, mail works for the second user on the computer. The connection doctor tells me that I am properly connected when I am loggin to the computer but there is no communication. What might the problem be?

    This week my Mail quit working...wouldn't open.
    Did you get an error message? Did the icon on the Dock just bounce then quit without doing anything, or did you get a rainbow cursor and have to force quit, or something else? Details!
    I downloaded and installed the application via Apple...no difference.
    You can't download Mail from Apple. Where specifically did you download it from? Or if you reinstalled from your Mac OS X disk, give us details on how you installed it and from what disks.
    I tried downloading the app again to my HD and got the message "You cannot install Mail Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    This sounds like you were trying to download an update that was not appropriate for the version of Mail that was installed. Where were you downloading the update from? Find Mail in the Finder, select it and choose Get Info... what version of Mail is it?

  • Does LiveType work with Snow Leopard?

    I recently updated to Snow Leopard and the latest Final Cut Studio. When I went to open LiveType, I got the following message:
    LiveType quit unexpectedly.
    Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
    Does LiveType work with Snow Leopard? Do I trash my preferences or reinstall the program from my original version of Final Cut Studio?
    Any ideas?

    Am I the only one who feels like that is ridiculous? Apple provides the possibility to upgrade to the new Final Cut Studio from the original version of Final Cut Studio, but in so doing, disables a program that was working fine before the upgrade, and doesn't provide any avenue to fix the problem? Is that really the way things work in the world of Apple computing? Does that compute?
    I hope that this is not right...
    For some reason this reminds me of Thoreau...
    "Simplify, simplify."
    This seems to be the antithesis of "Think Different" doesn't it?
    Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.
    The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
    About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.
    Maybe they have to be crazy.
    How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
    While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
    But in Apple's world, if you missed update number two then that's all you're going to get is an empty canvas, because the program used to put print on your canvas is no longer available. And if you go looking for another option, like for instance if you take their slogan literally:
    They’re not fond of rules.
    Then what is Apple going to do about it? I think if you read the news it's pretty obvious what Apple's going to do about it.
    Is it any wonder that they dismissed their slogan, because it did not fit in with their business plan.
    Any comments?

Maybe you are looking for
