MobileMe settings no longer work in my email client?

Hello!
Yesterday my third party email client settings for my MobileMe/iCloud email stopped working. I am using the imap.mail.me.com/smtp.mail.me.com settings and everything has been working fine until yesterday when they out of nowhere stopped working. Did something change on apple's servers that I need to change? I have checked at least a dozen times and the passwords/etc are correct as you all recommend. None of my icloud settings or password was changed. What could be going on? I have ssl required checked as well as everything else that is listed on this page: iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients
Thanks in advance!

Those settings are correct. However non-Apple applications are asking for a password because Apple are now requiring app-specific password for third-party applications to access iCloud if you have set up two-step verification (in other words you have to obtain an individual password for any non-Apple program that wants to access iCloud).
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 application. You should also keep a note of it (though you can generate a new one if required).
If you haven't set up 2-step verification for your Apple ID then it's something else has gone wrong. You don't say what your system is (please always do). If it's a Mac using 10.7.5 or above, uncheck Mail in the list in System Preferences>iCloud and recheck it. If Windows, the same in the iCloud Control Panel. If you are using a Mac earlier than 10.7.5 please see

I bought pages ages ago using an iTunes account that no longer works as the email address has been closed down. How can I now update my Pages app, if it asks me to sign in using this now defunct email address?

I bought Pages ages ago using an iTunes account that no longer works as the email address has been closed down. How can I now update my Pages app, if it asks me to sign in using this now defunct email address?

All apps are always tied to the account from whaich they were purchased and will always have to be updated using that account.
Just because the e-mail account is shut down, has nothing to do with the itunes account. Why did you create a new account? Why not just change the e-mail associated with the old account?

Firefox cache settings no longer working

Firefox cache settings that were working are no longer working, in Windows XP (x86) and Windows 7 (64).
By this I meant that I had set the cache to a ram-drive, but that is no longer being used, the cache is being written to disk instead in what is apparently the new default location, and my customized cache settings are ignored.
I've tried resetting Firefox to default and then re-applying them, but the problem still exists.
This is for FF 19+, but not sure when the problem first occurred - perhaps an earlier version too.
Is it no longer possible to re-direct the cache directory? How do you do it?

For jumpListCache , I found that setting browser.taskbar.lists.enabled to false prevents their capture:

SMTP settings not working on Apple Mail but work on other email clients like Sparrow

Apple mail constantly gives me "Could not connect to SMTP server" while other email clients have not problem connecting to the same server using the same credentials. And yes I've checked my login name / pw. many times. Same exact settings on all clients. Everything works, while Apple Mail doesnt. I've been using Apple Mail app for a while with my other accounts. For some reason here, it can't connect. Any ideas?

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Thunderbird doesn't work as default email client when sharing pdf attachments. Works fine if Mail is the default client

With Tbird set as the default email client, whenever I try to email the pdf, a message pops up that the default client can't handle sending the attachment. It works all the time if the native Mac Mail software is the default client..
This forces me to save the pdf file, go to Tbird to send a message and then have to find the file in the folder structure to add as an attachment.

My PDF software is Adobe Acrobat. So what is wrong with your Thunderbird software I must ask!

In a cafe, all internet connecti9ns work, but the email client is saying Timed Out, can't access the server. Rebooted. Problem persists.

All other internet connections work - but the Mozilla email client can't access the mail... Works in every other café. But not here. Thanks!

I'd suggest you check with the cafe owner which ports are allowed there.
If in doubt simply use webmail, which will most likely work.

SMTP settings no longer work

Up until recently, the following SMTP settings worked fine for sending emails:
Server: smtp.mail.me.com
port: 587
Authenticate with user email and password is sent with user typically being <user>@mac.com
Require SSL
Now, I am getting a fail to send error message" "The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was 5.7.0 No AUTH command has been given".
Does anyone have any idea what is going on or if there is a different port now in use or ???
Thanks!

"Virtually Nothing" has posted a solution to this in a separate thread. I don't know how to link to it so have cut and pasted below. By following these instructions I was immediately able to get icloud mail working on the Windows Phone 7 & 8 devices (I've not yet tried Outlook on Windows 8).
Hopefully you'll have similar luck with this. It's worth searching on the thread that goes with the message below just to get some additional context from others. Seems like a messy way to get something fixed.

This worked for me, too. Windows 7/Outlook 2007. Only change the Outgoing Mail setting. So here's what's working:
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 993
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    Server name: p06-smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password

New DVR Scheduler Bugs: Priority Settings No Longer Working, Scrolling Series Schedules is Flakey

Hi,
After this last HD DVR update, I have two new problems:
1) I can no longer set the priority of most of my series schedules. I have about 100 series schedule entries, which the DVR update probably wasn't tested for.
Now when I try to set a series priority, it LOOKS like it worked, but if I get out of DVR options and go back into Manage Recordings, 90% of the time I find that the series priority is either unchanged, or (even worse) has bounced up to some unexpected random priority - Thus, I have to search the series list to find it - Then I cannot move it back to where it's supposed to be!
It seems that only moving a series priority a little bit will sometimes work, but moving the series from near the top of the list to near the bottom (or vice-versa) doesn't work at all, even though it may appear like it worked until the list is refreshed (either by paging up and down the list a few times, or by exiting the DVR manager and going back in).
2) The scrolling is messed up now in the series schedule manager - When setting Priority, as I scrool up or down from the middle of the list using the arrow or Page buttons, the list will end unexpectedly, making it impossible to actually drag the series to the bottom or top of the list. Then if you deposit the series at the "end" of the list, suddenly the rest of the list will then magically appear (of course, the series schedule you deposited there will no longer be where you deposited it - See problem #1). Obviously the list is running out of buffer space, so the next part of the list isn't being loaded while you're in the process of changing a series priority..
Scrolling is also messed up just scrolling through the list without changing priority: Scrolling through my series schedules USED to be very FAST and painless using the Page (Channel) up/down button, I could scroll from top to bottom of my 100 series schedules in a matter of like 5 seconds. NOW, it takes forever and is a real pain to scroll from top to bottom, because the scrolling pauses on just about every other page - As though it ran out of buffer space and is having trouble loading the next buffer.
I have a lot of series schedule entries so all the First-run Programs are at the top of the priority list, then all the re-runs are in the bottom half of the list. That's the only way I have found to prevent Re-Runs from hijacking new programs, since there's no DVR option to prevent re-runs from inteferring with new episodes (BTW, in order for this to work, the First-Run schedule must be created first. Then a duplicate First-Run and Reruns schedule must be created - Creating them in reverse order will throw a "Duplicate" error message).
The DVR software has always been buggy and feature-depribed, but this is rediculous - To think the programming team didn't even test the scrolling and priority of series schedules is as bad as the ObamaCare website, and that's setting a very low bar! You HAVE to test EVERYTHING when you release new updates, even if the programmers say it won't affect anything else, because from my experience programmers develop tunnel vision (been there, done that myself), and if you have more than one person on the programming team, neither programmer will communicate their changes to anyone else (been there, done that too).

I have the identical problem after the recent software upgrade which VERIZON did to my DVR.
In addition, I have "Manual Series" listed under the "Manage Series Recordings" section of my DVR for about 10 of the tv shows that I have tagged to be recorded weekly. Several others have reported this seemingly related problem to this forum.
I've tried twice to report the latter problem to VERIZON's technical support staff, but met with indifference in the first attempt (a guy recommended that I replace my DVR with a new one - an utterly ridiculous suggestion), and in my second attempt I got a somewhat helpful lady who couldn't correct this glitch and was unaware of others having same problem but promised to send it up the flagpole to higher level tech folks (best action that I realistically could get).
As I told VERIZON's techies, I likely was not the only customer experiencing these problems - and your and others postings to this forum confirm my initial hunch. VERIZON leaves a lot to be desired in the testing of their software "upgrades".

With 7.1 "Share WiFi Settings" no longer works for A3 Pioneer Speaker setup

I am nolonger able to link my Pioneer A3 Speaker with my WiFi network by plugging it into my iPhone or iPad, no message asking "Share the WiFi Settings". I have used various cables, re-booted WiFi and devices etc so conclude either my A3 has suddenly broken, or the 7.1 updates messed things up.
Section E in this PDF is the instructions I have been following https://www3.pioneer.co.jp/support/manual/wss/sma1_3_4/pdf/ARH7143C.pdf
Anyone else with this sort of issue ????

Somewhere in there, is there a question for us, your fellow users in these user to user support forums?

The height and width settings no longer work.

The settings in Adobe Photoshop CS5 have gone wacky in the canvas size area. Everything shows as 0, whether it be inches, pixels, etc. I tried entering numbers in place of the zeros in the height and width areas, and then it creates huge margins around the picture. If I cut the number in half to try to trick it, it still gives big margins instead of cropping the picture. HELP!

THANK YOU! I can't believe I've used Adobe all these years and never saw that box! You have just made my life great again.

Changing printer settings no longer works - requesting lpadmin password!

When pressing the _"Pause Printer"_ button, or changing printer settings, I get a dialog box come up saying:
*Type the name and password of a user in the "lpadmin" group to allow Photosmart C4500 series (HPF615EE).app to make changes.*
I have typed my username and password in several times, to no avail. I am the only administrator on this computer. Apparently I am not a member of this "lpadmin" group, and have never seen it before in my life!
What do I do?
(? Possibly since upgrading to 10.5.7 ?)

I am having the same problem. When I use the fix posted by John Blanchard, I "A Directory Service error occured"
My output of the "dscl" command is a little different

So what changes do I need to make to John's terminal commands to fix my problem.
Thanks.

Privacy Settings no longer work

I have always had my settings set to "Contacts Only" and have verified that they are still set that way. My photo is also hidden. Yet several times a week I now receive unsolicited messages from men wanting to connect with me! Why is this happening and how do I stop it? I have no interest in talking to men who troll the internet looking for women with online accounts!

I had the same issue and solved it by going to Settings > General > Restrictions > Privacy: Photos and somehow Facebook had a restriction on! Once I selected "Allow Changes," I rebooted my phone, and when I opened both Facebook and Instagram, they both asked for photo access.

I'm using the latest version of Firefox V29.0.1 Firefox cache settings no longer working for SWF files. can you help on

Firefox caching on SWF files (Adobe Flash files) are not caching at browser level. But the same SWF Files are caching at other browsers like Google Chrome and IE.
But when i see the about:cache service information, I can see SWF Files are there in the disk cache device. When ever i hit the same page, the SWF files are downloaded from the server not from the browser, but the fetch count for that SWF file will get increase in disk cache device. So it's taking time to load the SWF files every time when i hit the page.
I'm requesting your help on this SWF File caching.

Server Monitor no longer working between 10.5 client & 10.4 servers?

I've been running Server Monitor 1.5f6 under 10.4.x on my desktop machine to monitor a dozen or so Apple Xserves running 10.4.x Server for ages (3 years?). Upon upgrading my desktop machine to Leopard the Server Monitor application no longer connects to any of the remote Xserves. They simply state "waiting for connection". I tried every "expert" diagnostic I can think of including deleting prefs, caches, adding & removing server entries, firewall off (on the server), etc. I also observed that upon quitting the application, it often produces a crash message instead.
So I tried what I thought would be the obvious fix of upgrading to the latest Server Admin Tools suite (downloaded from Apple, also v10.5) on my desktop which includes Server Monitor 1.5.1-- only to discover it does not work either.
If I boot back into 10.4, everything works again so I am 110% sure the problem is related to Leopard. The 10.4 servers can also monitor each other fine (as a test).
Now I've seen some similar reports in this forum about problems with the admin tools after 10.4.11 and such. But none of them clearly described IMHO the exact problem of using Server Monitor under a remote Leopard client to monitor a 10.4 Xserve.
Can anyone else confirm this problem? Am I missing something?

Wow, thanks for the article reference. Some times no amount of searching will uncover the hidden treasures.
So... not to be too dramatic but... what is Apple trying to do? PUNISH users that have not purchased any copies of 10.5 server? Why wouldn't they release a stand-alone Server Admin Tools installer like they have in the past? (They "forgot"???)
As it appears someone attempted the package extract approach (and it didn't work), can someone offer another solution?
p.s. Where is that number for my Apple rep... >:-( UNHAPPY!

Why is RV082 PPTP no longer working with Windows 7 clients?

RV082 Firmware Version 2.0.2.01-tmRV082 Firmware Version 2.0.2.01-tm
I have successfully used the built-in Windows 7 VPN (PPTP) to connection to an RV082 (Firmware 2.0.2.01-tm) many times in the past. The Windows 7 client stopped working recently, now producing "error 691: the remote connection was denied because the user name and password combination is not recognized." I have the same problem from two different Windows 7 clients and Windows XP clients still work.

Hi Tad,
since this question is about a product in the Cisco Small Business / Linksys range, I suggest you move it to the community, where you will have a better chance of getting expert advice.
