My imac mail keeps going off line and can't send out emails even when it when it comes back on line for a short while

Need help in getting rid of this annoying pop up problem. All my Inbox keeps going off line. Comes back very intermitently.

That can't be it if it is working intermitently.
Actually, more often than not, this is caused by duplicate entries in either Mail's Outgoing SMTP servers, or in Keychain.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it/them, or delete it/them and start over.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

Mail keeps going off line

Ever since I got my iPhone my regular mail keeps going off line. I click to put it back online but that doesn't work. The only way I can get it back up is to restart my computer. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Brenda,
Not much to go on so far, but let's start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
How do you connect to the Internet, and do Browsers quit working at the same time Mail does?

TS3276 All accounts keep going off line, quitting Mail fixes the issue

All accounts keep going off line, quitting Mail fixes the issue.
I have 3 Gmail, 1 hotmail and a yahoo. Al go off line with a little alert symbol next to them.
If I select take all accounts on line nothing happens.
Email delivery stops.
To fix this, I quit Mail and re launch it. That fixes it.
It's realy annoying.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem - it started when I upgraded to OS X 10.8
I thought subsequent releases may help, but I'm now on 10.8.2 and no joy.

Mail accounts keep going off line since Mountain Lion upgrade

My iCloud accounts keep going off line after a while. When Mail asks me if I want to take my accounts online (after pressing the exclamation triangle) nothing happens. The only way to get my accounts back online is to close and reopen Mail. Any thoughts?

It might be worth pointing out I get the error message "The server returned the error: The server “p04-imap.mail.me.com” cannot be contacted on port 993.".
I've tried having Use SSL checked and unchecked but it doesn't seem to help. The only thing that solves it is closing and reopening Mail.
Finally it would now appear that it only happens after the mac has been woken from sleep.

IE keeps going "Off Line"

IE keeps going "Off Line" and asking to connect.or attempting to go to "WirelessManagerRasConnection". This happens when connected to 80211 at office and at home as well as when connected to ATT wireless wan. My other toshiba laptop never has any problem staying connected to eiterh of the 80211 networks (it does not have an ATT card).
This is constant and unberable, please help,

If you go to Internet Options > Connections are there any DFU connections listed? Do you have "Do not select connection" selected?
You might have to use you imagination regarding the translations as I don't have an English system at hand, but hopefully you'll see what I mean.

B110 wireless printer - keeps going off line in windows 8

Hi - Since supgrading to windows 8 I've had probelms with my wireless printer (B110) and the fact that it keeps going off line. I've now ried removing and re installing usng latest drivers. During installation I get the message that printer rediscovery problems detected. You Pc may not be able to track on line status changes of your printer. If you are using firewall software verify that UDP port 427 is unblocked from your printer at 192.168.2.4 to your pc.
Following windows 8 help I've gone to firewall inbound rules and triesd to enable udp port 427, without much success. On the new inbound rule wizard , I choose the port option then the udp option and then the specific port option and enter 427 . This eems to having no impact but if I'm being honest I've not much of a clue on what I'm doing.
any help much appreciated

While I am researching your Belkin router, I would like to add that you will want to set a static IP for your printer. The green checkmark in your Printer's folder just means it is your default printer and has nothing to do with whether or not it has an IP address. You have to go into your Wireless Menu on the front of the printer to "View Wireless Settings" or print a network configuration page at that exact moment it is not communicating. You are not looking for "No trouble found." Sorry I wasn't more specific but you are looking for an IP address or URL like 192.168.1.5 or 10.0.0.5 etc.
Was the above document I provided any assistance? That has very good information to help clarify the instructions I am giving up because I really want to help you but I will need a bit more information.
Here is a link to really good instructions on how to set a static IP which I think will completely resolve this problem for you.

Let me know if this helps.

Every time I turn the computer off or put it in sleep mode... when I come back my wallpaper is gone. I have to keep going to my pics and getting it back. Does anyone know why this keeps happening??

Are you choosing it from one of these folders (in my screenshot) or you can also put that picture into the correct folder. The path is:
HD > Library > Desktop Pictures
If you add it to the folder manually, please restart your computer.
And yes, letting it sleep is a good idea, or else the startup disk will spin and the screen may suffer from image persistence if you leave a window or image parked in the same spot too long, so the screensave is a good idea.

When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

When two or more devices conflict it typically means that the DHCP service is either misconfigured or is not running at all. DHCP provides IP addresses to local network clients.
Is your AirPort Express base station the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to an Internet modem and not to another router upstream of it?

I was fooling around with the "reader" feature on my New iPad. I am now stuck with that and can't get out. Even my four digit code is read out in a machine voice and the iPad wont boot. How do I get out of this. Tried the red arrow slider. shut of the iPa

Wireless Printer keeps going off-line

I have an HP Officejet 6700 Premium - Print/Fax/Scan/Copy/Web Printer
Serial No:  [edited Serial Number by Moderator]     - Product No CN583A - FPU No 64001
I have a Network set up - Connected to this Network is: 1. Sony Vaio Laptop - Operating on Windows 7   2. Apple iPad Air 3. Apple iPhone 5 and 4. The Officejet Printer mentioned above
I am using the Mweb Fon Router - Wireless-N VDSL Modem/Router (802.11n)
I also have a ZyXEL Wireless Extender N300 - also supplied by Mweb that extends the signal to the other end of my house.
I have several different things happening as follows:
1, Sometimes the printer goes off-line completely and I have to search for the Router and re-enter the password to get it online again
2. The Printer sometimes says it is on line, but my laptop cannot connect with the printer and I also cannot get a Scan connection either
3. Sometimes when I cannot print from the Laptop which is saying the printer is off-line, if I go through my iPad/iPhone I can print.
4. Sometimes I cannot print from any of my devices as there is no connectivity at all even though the printer says it is connected.
5. I have to continually re-boot my laptop and I can print for a while then, but the connection is lost again after a short while.
I have downloaded your HP Print and Scan Doctor and run the program which does repair it for a while, but it still goes off-line again after a short period of time.
Please can you advise me of a solution to these problems, it is really agravating to keep having to re-boot to get the printer connectivity back, especially if this happens when you are banking online and want to print a proof of payment!!!!
Would my printer be faulty, if so should I send it back under the Guarantee which is still valid until the 5th January 2015
Please advise me of a solution as soon as possible as I am getting very frustrated with this situation.

More information is required for a meaningful reply. Do you have an email account? Are you settings correct? Can you receive emails on the iPad? Have you another device on which you send /receive emails? Is it working OK?

I am receiving a connection error and can't send out yahoo e-mails. I can surf and use another browser with no problem what happened all of a sudden with my firefox?

I can't send out e-mails! I get a connection error message.
I can receive messages, surf the web via Firefox.
The only related thing to this occurrence is that I received a notice from Firefox recommending that I disable a Skype extension, which I did. Not sure if this is connected.

1. Change your server to outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net - This is the correct outbound server for Verizon Yahoo accounts.
2. Make sure the setting for "outgoing server requires authentication" is selected. - It should auth with your vz username and password
If you are still having trouble, post the error. (The error you've posted here is for the wrong server.)
Well, I had already done those things before. The message I got when I tried is:
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: From address not verified - see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.
I had input the email address without the @verizon.net extension. That's exactly how I input it in the pop3 set-up for receiving e-mail and it works there.
So I went to the link that is referenced in the error message. It basically had me go to my Yahoo mail account page. I was directed to add an account with a different email address. A verification code was then sent to me via email that I then had to input into the new account's setup page in order to activate my Yahoo mail for smtp use. Once I input the code and validated I was then able to send e-mails just fine with Thunderbird. I was able to use my @verizon.net email address and not the new account I had created.
Bottom line - I had to activate/validate my account before I could send email. I had not read about this anywhere when trying to figure out what was wrong.

Every time I click on Get New Messages the mail server goes off line.

I am using OS X Lion. This problem started when I applied the latest update to Snow Leopard and continued on into OS X Lion.
In Mac Mail, every time I click on Get New Messages All The Accounts go off line. I bring all the accounts on line, click
Get New Messages, they go off line.

My printer keeps going off line with my network. have to set everything up every few minutes.

After getting my HP photosmart 5510 all in one printer setup on my wireless network and setup for eprint, 2 problems occurred. The printer keeps jumping off of the network, and I have to set everything back up again. Also, even with eprint still completely set up, none of the emails that I send are printing out???
Please Help

For those who are experiencing ongoing issues with their web services, you can attempt to try the following steps that may help resolve your problems.
1.) Completely shut down your printer and restart it
2.) If you have prints that have not printed, log into ePrint Center (or create an account if you do not have one) and then look for your printer status. If printer status is green but you still have pending jobs, delete the pending jobs one at a time (Starting with the oldest first). There may be a print job stuck in the queue that further restricts other jobs from completing.
If option 1 or 2 above still doesn’t work, removing web services and re-adding web services will cause the printer to reattach to the cloud.
Please note that if you attempt option 3, you will get a new eprint email address (and lose your custom one with no ability to get it back) furthermore, you will need to re-add your printer back to your ePC account.
