My iCloud mail won't connect on my Mac.

I've been trying to connect my mail to my Mac and I can't seem to get it to workl It states: 'The iCloud IMAP server “p01-imap.mail.me.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.'
I've tried changince the "pxx" numbers, I've tried logging into a different account then changing back to "imap.mail.me.com" and "smtp..." and still doesn't work.
Also, I've signed out of iCloud completely and nothing, created a new user and nothing. At this point I haven't tried to reinstall the OS but if there's no other option, I guess I might have to do it.
Any other advice would be awesome. I've hunted the depths of the interwebs and have not been able to find a solution.

My internet connection is fine, but it won't let me change my incoming mail server to the icloud address. What do I do?
When you set up an iCloud account, it should set the correct incoming and outgoing mail servers. Why do you wish to change the servers? What are they showing that you think is not correct?

Mail won't connect on one mac w/ lion

mail works on all my computers except my macbook pro. It did for a while and now suddenly won't This is the error message I get:

Mail is working now. I edited the outgoing mail server list to delete and re-enter my smtp.att.yahoo.com setting and associated password, etc. (as suggested in the "Can't send mail via mail" thread). That may be what did the trick. But also, this time I was more patient when waiting for my test email to send. I had forgotten how long this can take. If you see the "sending" indicator spinning, go read a book or have dinner. The send will complete while you aren't sitting there watching. After the first success, subsequent outgoing mail will go with little delay.

Mail won't connect to iCloud, goes offline

Mail has been problematic. Once a day it will not download emails from the servers, and all accounts will go offline. A restart of Mail solves this, but why does it happen? Aslo, Mail won't connect with iCloud, with the password not being accepted both in Mail and in the System Preferences. However, the password does work with accessing iCloud via browser. How would I fix this?

Apparently NO ONE knows how to fix this problem. I've scoured the posts on the Apple discussions and a lot of people have this problem, but no one can solve it. And ANY suggestions are always the ones that we all know how to try anyway. Never anything new. No one can solve the problem and obviously Apple doesn't give a rat! They never help either. I see a LOT of posts with a QUESTION, and no one answers them.

Apple Mail won't connect to GoDaddy pop server

Hi all,
I have entered all the correct server information to connect to GoDaddy's pop server but Mail won't connect. I can connect to the smtp server without a problem. The same settings work perfectly in Entourage, so my information is correct. Has anyone else experienced this issue and fixed it?
Here are the settings:
POP: pop.secureserver.net
AUTHENTICATION: password
Thanks,
John

Mine stopped wotking on the 9th, under the mail app on the left hand side, if you have triangles with ! marks in them, perform a left click and start "Mail Connection Doctor" This may help pinpoing the issue.
Mine is failing at trying to connect on port 143.
This worked for me, go the accounts settings window and in each gmail account enter the following info
Advanced Tab
IMAP Path Prefix enter [Gmail]
If you then tick "Use SSL" this should make the port 993
Authentication shold be set to "password"
Then save these settings, finally email is received, hope this helps.
Let is know how you get on.

"Mail" won't Connect

Recently 'repaired permissions'. When opening Mail, 'keychain' now asks for password. This can tend to get annoying so I set (within iTools I believe) the preference to not ask for password everytime I connect to mail. Now 'Mail' won't connect at all. Okay if I go to .Mac. Just won't connect from my comp.
Trying to get things back they way they were. Excuse my ingnorance on what should be a relatively simple app.

Any error message provided and if so, what?
It isn't Mail but the account or accounts not connecting to the incoming mail server. How many accounts are you accessing with the Mail.app and the type - .Mac, IMAP or POP?

My nokia e mail won't connect to server

My nokia e mail won't connect to server please help i've tried everything i know

Thanks for your response.
I did that already. I did the full maintenance treatment: Disk Warrior, followed by Applejack AUTO (which does a permissions repair and caches clean), followed by three PRAM zaps.
In accordance with Murphy's Law, it started working again about the time your post came in, but it had been hours of it not working after running the aforementioned gauntlet.
I have my doubts whether it will keep working. Meantime, Mail is humming along on my MBP. If you have any other ideas, I'd love to see them!
Cheers,
Jim

TS3276 the connec doctor sr but mac mail won't connect?

How do you connect to gmail in mac mail when the connection doctor says the connection was successful to the server but mac mail won't connect even after re-inputting the password?

mac mail won't connect to the Comcast POP or smpt servers
So your saying that you have comcast at home and it works fine from this machine?
If you mail works fine at home, then if it doesn't work on the road, it most likely isn't your machine. It is some other problem:
-- with the other network
-- perhaps comcast is preventing foreign mail from working.

If you are using Mail for your Mac, then check out the article below to assist with getting it sorted out. Start with looking at the Connection Doctor to see why you are not able to get your emails. Let me know what you find.

My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac. It says that I need to install the lastest version of itune (11.1) but when I try to update itunes it says that I have the current version 10.6.3. Can someone please help!

Hi,
My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac book, it says that I need to install to latest version of itunes 11.1. When I go to itunes and try to update, it says that I have the latest version (10.6.3). Can someone please help me!
thanks

You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac. No version of iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs. I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher. The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac. I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more.

My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more. Going through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant doesn't help - the computer finds the keyboard, but when I type in the pass code it fails to pair with it. The green LED on the bottom of the keyboard flashes twice at roughly two-second intervals. I've tried replacing the batteries and this has had no effect. I have all the latest software updates installed.

Welcome Cheirhandrea!
There are easily hundreds of variants of the iMac dating back to 1998. Many of the pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers cannot support an Apple wireles keyboard. Because this model has been in production for so long, it is important for you to let us know as much about your computer as possible so someone won't give you information that may not be appropriate to your iMac variant.
So we need to know:
1) Your processor type and Mac OSX version, both available by doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu at the left end of the menu bar:
2) The make and model of the keyboard.
I asked for your Mac OS version because "iOS" as currently shown in your equipment profile cannot run on any Mac computer, only Apple's mobile devices. Once you get the OS version from "About this Mac," please change your profile to avoid further confusion and get help faster without the delay of someone having to ask for clarification before they can start helping.

I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?

My first advice is "Back up the device, then have it replaced." Second item of advice, "Don't forget your passcode."
One of the purposes of the lock button is to recover from certain software failures. Without the lock button, such a recovery is nearly impossible. My advice would have served you best when the malfuction first developed, not after you forgot your passcode.

My iPod won't connect to my Mac... Help?

My iPod won't connect with my Mac anymore.
It connected last time I tried it (four months ago, about). It's a Gen Two or Three (I don't know the difference, sorry) and I haven't changed anything about my Mac since then, or my iTunes.
If you can help at all, please reply. And don't hesitate to ask for more info.
EDIT: Oh, and I've tried resetting the iPod, putting it in Disk Mode, using a different USB port and restarting the computer (several times).
The iPod says "Do Not Disconnect" and the iPod symbol appears on Finder and I am able to access it, but it won't appear in iTunes.

I was having the same problem--no iPod on Desktop, no iPod in iTunes. This fixed it for me, at least:
1. Open Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. (My iPod DID show up here, though it wasn't mounted.)
2. Select the iPod in the disk list on the left.
3. Click "Verify Disk." (In my case, this revealed an underlying error.)
4. Click "Repair Disk." (If this works, great--stop here. It didn't work for me...)
5. Click the "Erase" tab at the top of the right-hand main pane.
6. Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for Volume Format.
7. Click "Erase" button at bottom right.
Almost immediately, my iPod showed up on my Desktop, iTunes launched, and it was as though I had completed a Restore of the iPod.
Hope that helps....

So, my phone won't connect to my mac computer when I plug the USB charger into my computer and then into my phone it won't charge or connect. How should I fix this?

TS3276 Mail won't connect with iCloud

Hi My mail will not connect to pick up mail from iCloud. I have to quit and restart Mail to get it to connect, which it then does automatically. Any ideas why this should be?

Try using connection doctor utilities.

Mail won't connect in certain cases

If I open the Mail app "too early" after starting up my Mac it won't connect to any of my email accounts. The connection doctor says that Mail was able to connect to the internet. Despite this, it won't work in any way, if not after restarting the Mac, as logging out and back in won't help at all.
Even if I leave its window open and, when shutting down, I select to re-open the windows when logging back in the issue will show up.
Annoying!
My Mac is up-to-date, so, please don't tell me to investigate problems that do not exist. I rather reckon that this issue is connected to a bug than to any bad action I may take, as I just click on the Mail like I ever did before icon and that's it. I also already sent a feedback to Apple about this.

Hey there Streeme,
It sounds like Mail is not connecting to any of your Mail servers at all. Thanks to the screenshot you posted of the Connection Doctor, I recommend this info from the following article, named:
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
Click here if a "Could not connect to this (server type) server…" message appears
Check for third-party firewall software
Third-party firewall software, such as Little Snitch or Symantec Norton Personal Firewall, could be blocking the necessary ports. If such software is installed, make sure the firewall is not blocking these ports:
ports 25, 465, and 587 (for sending email via SMTP)
ports 143 and 993 (if you use IMAP email)
ports 110 and 995 (if you use POP email)
If you're not sure how to enable the correct ports, try disabling the third-party firewall completely, then test for the Mail issue. Note: The Mac OS X v10.6 firewall does not interfere with ports needed to send email.
Check for Internet Service Provider port blocking
Your Internet Service Provider may be blocking the SMTP ports needed to send email.
You can use Apple's MobileMe service to find out if your Internet Service Provider is blocking the sending email protocol SMTP:
Open Network Utility.
Click the "Port Scan" tab.
Enter "smtp.me.com" in the "Enter an Internet or IP address to scan for open ports" field.
Enable "Only test ports between _ and _", and enter 25 for both port fields.
Click "Scan" to test.
If you do not see "Open TCP Port: 25 smtp", contact your Internet Service Provider or visit their support website for further assistance. If you do see "Open TCP Port: 25 smtp", your Internet Service Provider is not blocking the SMTP ports needed to send email. Go to the "'Trying to log in to this (email server provider name) account failed…' message or any other error message appears" section below if the email issue persists.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling
