Need to Go Offline and then Go Online For My Mail to arrive.

That about says it: Apple Mail will be Online, and I can even use the GetMail button, but no mail arrives. But if I Go Offline, and then Go Online, 5 or 10 or more messages will arrive. This happened enough times to rule out the possiblity of coincidence....
Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

You may want to take a look at this thread -- don't expect to find a solution there, though:
Only receive mail if I quit mail and restart

  • STILL need to go Offline and back Online to obtain mail

    OK, several weeks later, and I have (1) used the OS X utility programs to check permissions, etc; (2) rebuilt my mailboxes; (3) deleted most stored e-mails; (5) run software update; and (?) tried other things that don't come to mind right this second, but STILL, my Mail frequently needs to be taken Offline, and then back Online for messages to appear. Lots of my mail comes from AOL accounts, but some from Apple Mail, and both suffer from this problem.
    Can anyone suggest something else I can try to get e-mails automatically and consistently?
    Steven

    When you say "minimum," do you mean NOT 1 minute? Recently, I changed it to 5 minutes from one, without resolving the problem.
    The problem I am trying to describe/diagnose was discussed several weeks ago. I should send myself some non-AOL mails to make sure the problem is not AOL specific (most of my discussion group e-mails come via an aol account)...
    Would changing the pop port and/or imap port affect this issue?

  • On new MBP I keep getting message that I need to shut down and then restart

    I just got a new 13" MBP. I took the old 500GB 7200 rpm HD (which was operating perfectly) out of my old 13" white MB and put it in the new MBP. Now at boot I get as far as a gray screen, then I get a black screen with text in several languages saying that I need to shut off and then restart the computer. I went through this drill 5 times with no indication that anything was improving. I am sure that the edge card connector is fully seated on the old HD. Any ideas as to what is happening here?

    The Operating System for the old and new machine is different, you can't just swap drives like that, what you're getting is a Kernel Panic.
    You need to install the OS from the install discs that came with the new machine onto that hard drive. Boot from your new install DVD (hold c at start) and do an Archive Install of the OS so it saves your user data.

    Is there any where that I can voice why I returned my beloved new Ipad? I was told I could move my Keynote presentations to it and then use it for my
    business presentations. Unfortunately that turned out to not be true. I need the IPad to work with a remote.
    The Ipad is on a short cable to my projector. I am usually on a podium 30 feet away. No infra red receiver on the IPad and
    the Iphone remote needs wi fi which is not always available in all the locations I do my teaching and lecturing in.
    If you can build a remote into the Ipad in the future I would really like to use an Ipad to replace my heavier lap top for business travel. Thank You Kathy McNeil.

    Sorry Josh, I'm having a bad day with my illness.
    Can I ask you to repost this question? Might try in the Mountain Lion forum as well as here.
    Put "Mountain Lion Install fails" in the headline box, then from your second post -
    "When i run The OSX Mountain Lion Icon i downloaded from the App Store it always gets to the point when its about to restart but the it keeps saying "please quit the application and try again" Now i've tried Re-Downloading it a lot of times but that doesn't work"
    and add the Mac specification -
    MacBook7.1
    2GB RAM
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    Sorry I can't concentrate sufficiently today.

    How to purchase apps in App Store? When I am trying to buy those apps, it is asking for my card details. I have entered my debit card number and then it asked for 3 digit security code. I have entered cvv secure code but it is showing an invalid security

    Debit cards are no longer accepted in the iTunes Store, it seems. The current valid payment methods are listed here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552
    You can try contacting the iTunes Store and asking if there is any way to use your card, but they probably will tell you that it's not possible.
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    Using a debit card in any online service where it stores your card is a bad idea in any case since if someone gains access to your account in the service, they can quickly drain your bank account. Credit cards limit your liability, as do prepaid iTunes cards.

  • Is CDN built in Azure Websites or CDN needs to be created and linked to website for content sharing

    Is CDN built in Azure Websites or CDN needs to be created and linked to website for content sharing...

    Hi
    CDN is a separate service in Azure and you can serve your content there.
    Then your azure website can use those CDNs that you provide in azure (just like any other CDN out there like Jquery Ajax etc ..)

    HI:
    It does not sound like a battery problem.
    Try a couple of things:
    1.          Reset the SMC

    2.          Reset (if you can) the PRAM

    If that does not help, delete the mouse in system preferences, turn it off, restart, and turn the mouse back on.

    Hello ibebry
    Try using the Software Update on your iPhone by going to Settings > General > Software Update. One thing to keep in mind if you are trying it on the computer is to make sure that you are not pressing any keys down when checking for updates as that may bring up a pop up window to find the update file. 
    Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at  no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.

    I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at  no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.
    I know my icloud has record of my installing this app before, but that was the first install that was failed during that time some other apps also keeps loading without respond whey they updated itself, and this app didn't install before I restart the device. But I don't see this app on my device after I restarted the device so it should have been installed on my device. It seems icloud has created some kind of dead loop that makes it not able to get the correct status about this app on my device.
    I have no problem install this app on my other device (iPad) with the same account, but just fail on my iPhone. And it just fine installing other apps...... What happened !!?? @@
    Please help !!! 

    Someone help! I dont know how to do this and please put the words into an easy way to understand because im young...

    Why is this?  My husband's 4s is still on IOS7 and it still connects automatically.
