Mountain Lion can't connect to account POP

Hi--I just upgraded to Mountain Lion on iMac (version mid-2011) and get the error message Mountain Lion can't connect to account POP. I've incoming/outgoing servers, ports, authentication, etc., and still receive this error message. Any suggestions? Thanks!

works just fine for me using hotmail over pop
so maybe your pop3 provider changed their settings or your firewall is blocking the ones they use

  • Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I cannot connect to my wireless router

    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I cannot connect to my wireless router. I have 2 wireless networks in my home. One is the primary whuch all of my devices connect to. The other is for backup only. I cannot connect to the primary with my iMac but have no trouble with any of the other devices which include iphones and ipads.phones and iPads. I can however connect to the backup without a problem. I have tried upgrading the firmware of the router as well as changing the security from WEP to WPA-2, no luck. Can anyone help?

  • My iMac running Mountain Lion can't see my iMac running Snow Leopard on my network.

    My iMac running Mountain Lion can't see my iMac running Snow Leopard on my network.  Both Macs work fine and the SL Mac can see and connect to the ML Mac.

    There isn't a script.

    Open the Connection Doctor from the Window menu.

    What errors does it post trying to connect to your email provider.
    I dont' think there is any personal information in the output, but you might want to sanitize the output in a text editor before posting the output here in case there is a login user name or something like that.

  • Is mountain lion can out put 10 bit colour? I nee to buy EIzo Monitor

    Is mountain lion can out put 10 bit colour? I nee to buy EIzo Monitor.

    No. OS X cannot do it. If you want to drive an Eizo at its full 10 bits per channel you need to use a Windows PC.

  • Mountain Lion can't install but won't let me quit the installer!

    Mountain Lion can't install but won't let me quit the installer! How can I get back to the desktop?

    I was having the same problem with my iMac. Couldn't left click with the wireless mouse, i tried all the steps above to no avail. I then tried to use another mouse, this time bluetooth and still had the same problems. I decided to see if my trackpad, which sits in the corner of my desk and never gets used, and then i realize that my cat is lying on top of the trackpad which was causing my problem the whole time.
    I hope your fix was as simple as mine.

  • I use MB pro with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and Now I have bought MB Air with Mountain Lion,Can I transfer my MB Pro stuff running Lion to MB air running Mountain Lion or do I need to buy Mountain Lion for my Pro to create a backup and then transfer ,thnx

    I use MB pro running Lion OSX 10.7.5 and Now I have bought MB Air with Mountain Lion,Can I transfer my MB Pro stuff running Lion to MB air running Mountain Lion or do I need to buy Mountain Lion for my Pro and create a backup and then transfer ,Although I want Mountain Lion for my MB Pro but can I use the one from MB Air,thnx?

    Hello,
    If you just do a normal time machine backup on your macbook pro and then plug that harddrive into your new air; you should be able to just use migration assistant to transfer all your files. You wouldnt need to upgrade to mountain lion on your macbook pro.
    Hope it helps,

    Not if you have a PPC machine. In that case your are at the limit. But if you have an Intel model:
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later

  • If I upgrade to mountain lion can I uninstall it if I don't like it

    If I upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion and I don't like Mountain Lion, can I uninstall Mountain Lion and be asured that my IOS Lion will function and be ok?

    You can't uninstall an OS. You can only erase and re-install the previous OS. You would also need a backup of your previous data.

  • HT4463 i cannot download mountain lion even though my itunes account has charged me for it

    i cannot download OS X mountain lion even though my itunes account has charged me for it, the download keeps dropping off and will not resume at point of drop off and starts all over again but will not complete, got to over three quarters thru the 4 plus GB download,

    A trick another user stumbled on this morning was to create another user account on the Mac, a standard user account, and from that account use the AppleID, and password to login to the Mac App Store and then download ML with the redemption code...after a frustrating several hours of trying unsuccessfully that little trick worked.

    You can use it on all the Macs you own. To save time downloading, after you DL it the first time,choose "Install Later". Then duplicate the "Install Mac OS X ML" in your Applications folder and save it off to disk. Then go back and double-click on "Install Mac OS X" in your Applications folder to begin the install.

  • I'm running Yosemite on my present computer, if I buy a new computer with Mountain Lion, can I transfer apps and info?

    I'm using Yosemite now, new computer comes with Mountain Lion, can I transfer apps and info?

    You can, but there is a high risk of leaving OS X in your new Mac unusable. This is because Migration Assistant will detect that your new Mac has got preinstalled apps with an older version than the ones you have in the "old" Mac, and it will try to replace them. However, the new apps versions are designed for Yosemite, so you will not be able to open any application.
    Because of that, I recommend you to set up the new Mac without transferring your data, and upgrade it to Yosemite. Then, use Migration Assistant to transfer your files.

  • Mail in Mountain Lion can no longer connect to Hotmail server

    A couple of days ago I suddenly got the warning triangle next to my hotmail accounts in Mail on my Mac running Mountain Lion 10.8.1. Clicking on them or looking in the connection doctor just says that it can't connect to pop3.live.com, verify all account details etc. I've already tried all of the standard troubleshooting steps including (but not just) removing and re-adding the accounts and verifying all account details etc and nothing has worked.
    Does anyone know if this is a Mail problem? Completely out of ideas and Google doesn't seem to have anymore answers to try...
    Any help appreciated!

    Thought I had the same problem, find out that any account won't work. Hotmail/Webmail (domains)/work mail/ISP mail. Nothing works.
    All give the time-out error.
    edit:
    Tried to add my iCloud mail, got the same error when setting up my account.

  • How can I stop Mountain Lion from auto-connecting to AppleTVs in my network?

    Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion my MacBook Pro automatically tries to connect to any AppleTV in the network I'm on. This is great for at home, but my office has a few different AppleTVs that are constantly sucking my audio through without any type of direction to do so on my end.
    Thank you for your help.

    I don´t know for a fact, but I guess you can have your firewall block the traffic to and from the AppleTV's. You have to find out which ports to block (see: http://bowersandwilkins.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/55/~/firewall-ports -utilised-by-airplay ) and also you will need to have different location profiles for your home and work network.
    Just my two cents.
