Need to edit server info for my mac account

How do we edit server details once a mail account is set up? I can't find a way. And somehow the server for my .mac account has changed from the standard smtp.mac.com.
Thanks for your help.

I can edit my accounts. To do that to my Yahoo smtt server I go to:
Settings> Mail >Yahoo account>account info>SMTP Yahoo SMTP server>smtp.mail.yahoo.com>tap on the server host name and the keyboard pops up for editing.

Do I need to download Lion seperately for each mac in my house?

Do I need to download Lion seperately for each mac in my house? Which would also result in paying for it multiple times, or is there some way to install on multiple macs with one download?

No. You can install Lion on all the computers you personally own. Just be sure each is running Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later. Open the App Store on each computer and log in using the Apple ID you used to purchase Lion. Click on Purchases. Click on the Install button to the right of the entry for your Lion purchase. The installer will be re-downloaded.
You may want to read the following first:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

how do I find my outgoing mail server info for gmail account setup?

Most current Mac systems have a preloaded set of information and settings for the common email providers. Try just choosing gmail and enter your userid and password at the prompts and see if the preload configures correctly for you.

I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows. This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10. Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

Firefox 4 requires MacOS X 10.5 or 10.6. Sorry about that. You can update to 3.6.17, but that is the end of the road for MacOS X 10.4.
Actually, there's an unofficial release of Firefox code tweaked for 10.4 users with PowerPC processors. http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Before playing, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)

Keychain Issue for the password for my mac account.

Keychain Issue. Keeps asking for the password for my mac account. When i type it, i keep getting "rejected the password. But it is the correct one. Verified in keychain access. "The .Mac server 'mail.mac.com' rejected the password for user XXXXXXXX. Please reenter your password, or cancel."
Thanks in advance
don

But may I ask why you're using separate servers for in & out?
I don't know the answer to that. For many years, it's always been set up like that. I have never changed anything.
Should i delete the .mac mail account & set it up again? If so, What servers should i use for incoming & outgoing?
Keep in mind i'm having the same issue on my desktop & laptop, both running tiger 10.4.11, as far as they will upgrade.
I do have a laptop running Lion, but that shows an icloud account, not a .mac account like the older computers. It also has a bellsouth account with the password that is correct and a gmail account which is working fine.

Multiple Sent Messages for my .Mac account

For some reason I have two sent message mailboxes for my .Mac account. One is under the Sent grouping, i.e.:
Sent ->
-- Account 1
-- .Mac
-- Account 3
And another one listed with my .Mac folders. Both have the same contents. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the second?
Cheers!

Hi MrWynnm, you're welcome.
I don't see anything strange there. If Store sent messages on the server is OFF, the mailbox you see within the standard Sent group should correspond to the local ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Sent Messages ([email protected]).mbox folder, whereas the folder you see within the .Mac account group should correspond to a (totally unrelated) mailbox stored on the server and cached locally in ~/Library/Mail/Mac-username/Sent Messages.imapmbox.
That explains why you see two mailboxes in Mail, BUT it doesn't explain why they both show the same contents. Try this:
1. Quit Mail.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Open Mail, delete the mailbox that appears under the .Mac account group... and let me know what happens...

How do I find my password for my .mac account?

How do I find my password for my .mac account?
I open up 'Mail' on my macbook and this comes up - The iCloud IMAP server “p01-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “************”
No idea where to find out what this password is. Any ideas??

The password is the same as for the other iCloud facilities. If you can log into the iCloud website at http://icloud.com with the same password then you've probably run into a server issue which has affected some people, though you could try signing out in System Preferences>iCloud and signing back in again, which sometimes fixes it. (And sometimes doesn't.)
If you can not get into the website you can change your password at http://appleid.apple.com - click 'Reset password' and sign in with your iCloud ID (not your iTunes ID if this is different).

Is iweb only for a Mac account?

Hi,
I'm wanting to know if iweb is only for a Mac account. Can you use it if you already have an internet account with another provider?
Thanks,
Spiral Girl

Hi Spiral Girl...
Along the same lines as what Max has touched on, there are several features that are ".Mac-only", meaning that they will not be available to you if you publish your iWeb pages on a non-.Mac server. Having said that, there are plenty of replacements for all of these "missing" features that even exceed the qualities of the .Mac ones.
iWeb also makes it pretty straightforward to publish to 3rd party servers. You simply select "Publish to Folder" and then iWeb puts all of your sitefiles in a folder for you...ready to upload. You must then upload the contents of this folder with any FTP program to your server. Pretty straightforward.
Tom Gewecke has a tipsheet on publishing to non-.Mac servers...

New Server Advice for a Mac Beginner

Hi
Please be patient with a Mac beginner, I have long experience with M$ software, but a client has been gradually migrating their PCs to Macs and now the time has come for the Server to do so.
I have been handed an XServe G5 to build with OS X from scratch for the new network.
Essentially the server will be taking on very simple tasks.
1. Security for the Macs on the network
2. Email for the users - currently they use 3 domains but all users can use all of them for different sorts of contacts.
3. File services - divided into two primary areas.
4. Security groups to keep separate file stores accessible only to those allowed in each.
Coming from a Microsoft background, I find some of the terminology for setting this up a bit harder to understand than I expected and would appreciate a few pointers and being advised if there are any gotchas I should look out for.
I am currently building the server in my own lab where I only have PCs, other than the server. This would not be an issue, I suspect, except for the suggestion in the User Management Admin Guide that the process is ideally performed from another Mac wuth the Admin tools installed. Is this really necessary?
I am also finding some of the advice about sharepoints a little confusing. I know that this is based on Unix terminology, but the methods described in what I have read seem to assume far more background than I currently have in this OS - Perhaps I should have got some training in first, except that the time frame does not permit this.
So, if anyone can suggest step by step guides, pdfs or walkthroughs and any other tips I would be grateful.
Cheers
Neil
Xserve G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

>This would not be an issue, I suspect, except for the suggestion in the User Management Admin Guide that the process is ideally performed from another Mac wuth the Admin tools installed. Is this really necessary?
Generally, the server doesn't need to have a video card, and it's often located in a remote location such as a server room where it's not the most comfortable place for a human to work.
Consequently all of Apple's tools are designed to operate just as well over a network. However, there's no functional difference between running Server Admin and Workgroup Manager on the server itself vs. on a remote Mac.
>I am also finding some of the advice about sharepoints a little confusing
Is there something specific you're trying to do that you're having problems with? In general the file sharing is straightforwards - use Workgroup Manager to identify the directories you want to share, and choose which protocol(s) it should be shared via.

I need free network analyzer software for my mac. we are trying to monitor what software may be running which is causing our internet to fail, although the internet is still coming into our modem.what is recommended?

My internet keeps 'tripping' at or around the same period time each day. We have already replaced our modem from our internet provider and we bought a new airport extreme router. We do not believe these were the cause, although we have now ruled them out as a cause. Everytime the internet fails, our internet provider company tells us that there is still plenty of signal coming into our house. There is something going on inside we believe, and a technician set up our Network Utility to run a continuous ping test to capture information about when it 'trips' againn. Yesterday, it happened again, and when he checked the data out, he said he is sure there is something 'running in the background' on my IMac. He advised me to download a free Network Analyzer so he could further investigate what is was that was causing the problem, so I need a free network analyzer software for my Mac. The issue has been going on for a long time, so it is not the new operating system, Lion. This morning, we changed the radio channel from 'auto' to 'manual' and set a new channel, hoping that might help. We are trying to find out what program may be running (even a tiny one in the background) which is causing our internet to fail, although the internet is still coming into our modem. What is free downloadable product is recommended?

Will Activity Monitor and/or Network Utility, both already in the Utilities folder on your Mac, help in trying to diagnose the problem.
If you are connecting via wifi what encryption are you using? If you're using the Exteme I doubt that you are using WEP, but worth checking as it seems Macs don't like it and work better using WPA.
