New Account: Can't Receive

I'm new to iMac and to this Mail feature. I set up a pop account for my own personal e-mail address, following the instructions for POP account adding. But nothing is happening. I seem to be able to send with no problem, but test messages I sent to myself from a different computer are not showing up. Nor have any other e-mails and I receive quite a few each day.
Any ideas?

Is there any error message showing up? Or is there just nothing happening without any error?

If the money contains a completely unspent balance from an iTunes gift card, the iTunes Store staff can put that money back onto the card.

Gmail & Mail 3.0: Sudden new problems--can't receive or delete messages

For the last two days I've had very odd problems with Mail. They seemed to start out of the blue; the only thing new I've done in this time frame is get an iPhone, which I set up with imap/gmail (I installed Leopard long before these problems started). For a couple of days I was unable to send messages. Then suddenly last night I was able to send but now I can't receive or delete messages. Does anyone know what may be the problem and what to do? Thanks so much.

I'll add my sad story...
Since upgrading, one email account will not receive mail - says the server reject my password, although I can retrieve my mail from the web. It is a POP account, although I tried setting up another with the same settings but as an IMAP account, with no luck. Outgoing mail is fine and other accounts, such as .mac and gmail seem to work. Tried recreating the account as a new user (so no old preferences messing things up) and from a new mail program (Thunderbird), but still rejects my password. I will try from an 10.4 machine today to see if I can get my mail.

New iphone can't receive or send text messages

I can't receive or send test messages. I tried turning airplane mode on and off. I also don't seem to have a data plan added to my service. I looked at my contract and it just shows family talk. I thought they automatically add this to iphone contracts.

It doesn't display an error message. It sends it out, but the recipient never receives it. I think the Best Buy person screwed up my service some how. She didn't sign me up for a data plan or a text message plan for this account. I was supposed to keep my same plan. It should still send texts though (at a higher non-text plan rate).

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You should use the same iTunes account for all your devices.

Mail for Mac doesn't work. Three out of 4 accounts can't receive email, and I've tried every password I've ever used repeatedly.

Three out of four of my accounts have the exclamation mark next to them. I can send mail intermittently but cannot receive anything. I've tried every password I'v e ever used repeatedly, to no avail. When I change a password with the ISP, Mail never recognizes it. I'm completely lost.

My Skype account can't receive friend requests

My skype has been actin' up strange lately. It appears that i'm unable to receive any friend request even tho i'm logged in. I asked 3 people whom i met from a random-chatting site to add me, saying that they already sent a request yet it didn't show any to me.
I hope admins can fix this but it would be very much appreciated if i received those previous friend requests. tnx

New phone can't receive or send calls

I upgraded to a smart phone and it worked great at home in Texas but I work in Alaska 2 weeks at a time and when I got up here it only rarely will let me send or receive a call. my last phone worked perfect here and other co-workers phones - same carrier work just fine- standing within feet of me. Tech support has a ticket on this and are looking into it. My question is: could there be something I need to set or reset or activate to make it work out of a Verizon area?

Thanks for your response; I tried *228 but since I am out of a Verizon area that doesn't work and I don't see any advance settings options to check CDMA?
The Tech support person I spoke with seems to think the system I am roaming on is not recognizing my device for some reason. So possibly it is an issue with that--but I can't rule out a phone issue. Another worker has an identical phone and gets great service.
Thanks,Jeff

Set up family sharing and now everyone has unique Apple ID linked to one organizer. Now new accounts can't update appa

Set up family sharing with everyone having their own Apple ID. Worked great but now my husband cannot update his appa as it says they were added under a different ID. His id is linked to ge main id which was the original ID.

Hey Crowley,
Applications downloaded from the App Store need to be updated using the Apple ID used to initiate the download, whether they were purchased or brought in under Family Sharing. If your husband got these apps while using a different Apple ID, he will need to sign in using that Apple ID in order to update them. See this article -
Update OS X and App Store apps on your Mac - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

Help please: can't receive mail on POP account.

Can someone help me? I can't receive emails on my POP account. I am using 10.6.8 os and apple mail 4.6. I'm able to send messages using port 587. Trying to get ready for business launch on Wednesday. Thanks for your help!

Just curious - were you ever able to receive mail or did you recently set this account up and encounter the problem?
As a paying Dreamhost customer, you should have access to their 24/7 tech support. The basic Apple mac.app account set-up is very straight-forward (at least with web mail).
If this is a new account with no received messages, simply deleting it and going through the set-up again is no big deal. Remember, use IMAP instead of POP3 to receive messages. POP3 pulls the only copy of the message off the server and delivers it to your mail client/computer. Since there is no back-up copy of the data on the server, this is bad news if anything happens to it locally.
Here's a basic tutorial on adding/deleting accounts (just in case):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84cYMuVsLp0
Check out this thread as well - appears that even after deleting an account the name of the old account might remain:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4094214?start=0&tstart=0
To summarize, I would try the following:
1.) Contact Dreamhost and explain your issue - it could be a problem on their end. Don't be shy about using their tech support; you pay for it!
2.) If Dreamhost finds nothing amiss on their end, you could delete and re-enable your account via mail.app (keeping in mind the caveats about backing-up all received POP3 messages and the potential sender account bug from the thread). Use IMAP if possible.
3.) If that does not work for you, try another Mail client. I recommend Thunderbird, but there are other free options:

I doubt that this is causing the problem, but you could also disable your firewall (System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall) and see if that changes anything.
Hope one of these works for you.

If i create a new itunes account can i transfer my songs, games, movies, etc. to my new account

If I create a new account can I transfer all of my songs, games, movies etc. to the new one?

I know this is an old post, but I'm in a similar situation. I'm going to college this fall and I would like to have my own account going into my future. I'm under my mom's account because that is how I first started out with my ipod a few years ago. I don't want to be under my mom's account forever so this is a reason I want a new account while still keeping all the songs I've bought over the years.
