No longer getting mail on iPhone, nor can I connect to any website on iPhon
Hoping someone can help, or has had a similar experience. This morning, my iPhone stopped sending/receiving emails. I checked on the iMac, everything working OK there. I haven't changed any settings on anything, and have been using the iPhone successfully since Christmas.
I did a forced Restore from iTunes for the iPhone - it took several attempts, and I had to do the trick of removing the USB cable, then holding in the Home button while the phone booted up, then clicking Restore. I have got everything synced as normal on the iPHone: the address book, iCal, the iPod - everything is there fine: but the email account looks odd (only an inbox is showing, and none of my .mac folders), and it won't send or receive email, and neither will Safari work (none of the bookmarks work).
Here is the message I get when I try to send/receive email:
"Cannot get Mail. The connection to the server 'mail.mac.com' failed."
Now I'm not an expert - else I wouldn't be here to ask for your help! - but I wondered if that meant some of the settings on the iPhone had been lost. But I've checked in Settings under Mail - all my correct account info is there; the right name etc, and I re-entered the password just to make sure.
On iPHone Safari, if I try to connect to a bookmark, I get a similar message:
'Safari can't open the page because it is not connected to the internet'.
I don't understand at all what's happening. The iPhone can 'see' and is connected to my usual home wifi setup (the same one the iMac and powerbook use, and they're both working fine).
If anyone has any suggestion as to what might be wrong, I would be most grateful. Thank you for your help.
cheers
Graeme
Hello All,
Thank you for allowing me to join these forums.
I'm having the same e-mail issues.
My IPhone is not feeling the love for e-mails.
It has been "working" VERY sporadically since I purchased the phone.
I've already spent a ton of time trying to fix it, but nothing seems to get it to update my e-mails consistantly.
I deleted most of the e-mails that were in my Inboxes too.
Any more ideas on what I should look for, other than another phone???
Thanks for all of your help,
Ben

Can't connect to any website through Firefox (Connecting...), but Internet Explorer works.
I have had on and off problems with Firefox working, but up until now, restarting the computer solved the problem. Now it won't load any website for anything...it keeps circulating with "Connecting...". Internet Explorer works just fine and the internet is working with all other devices, the only thing I can find that may be impacting is that the internet has no IPv6 access (I have no clue though and the box is checked). I have tried all of the advice I have found on other similar posts such as disabling the IPv6 and the Prefetch through 'about:config', I restarted the computer multiple times, unplugged the router, checked the firewall and removed and re-added Firefox, cleared the cookies and cache, reinstalled Firefox, uninstalled Chrome.
Nothing seems to be getting me any closer to having Firefox up and connecting again.
As a side note, I only have been having those on and off problems, and this current problem, while connected to my home internet--other connections have had no problems. Also, I am using Norton Antivirus which is up to date and showing no problems at present.
Any ideas on how to fix?Have you flushed the dns cache on the computer recently? It could be that it has stored the unsuccessful message.

Airport Extreme can't connect to any server
I can't connect to any websites using my Airport Extreme, which worked fine until yesterday, everything is set up correctly and Network assistant tells me I'm connected to the internet. Every website I try to open (in Safari, Opera, and Firefox) gives me a message that I can't connect to the server, same with Mail. Everything works fine with an Airport Express or plugging directly to the modem. All of this started yesterday when my internet was down, but the airport never came back. I've tried resetting to factory defaults, and yes I've unplugged everything about 400 times. Anyone experience anything like this before?
joshIt sounds like when the Internet went down, the modem got "confused" and didn't remember that the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) was connected to it.
Please try the following:
o Power-down the modem, AEBSn & computers. Order is not critical.
o While the power is off, check to see if the modem employs a backup batter. If it does, temporarily remove it, and then, replace it.
o Power-on the modem. If it has one, press and hold the modem's reset button for at least 3-5 seconds. After power-up or reset, wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBSn; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s).
Your computers should be able to access the Internet (& access web sites) now. Please post back your results. -
I can no longer send mail....today I cannot get mail..., I can no longer send mail....today I cannot get mail...a message pops up that says:A copy has been placed in your outbox.Sending the message content to the server failed....any help?
How long has it been going on? I've had my yahoo mess up and if i wait a bit it resolves itself. Yahoo is doing something with their servers and it messes with your mail if your mail happens to be on one of those servers.

My thuderbolt display is 3 weeks old which I'm using as display for my mac mini. I no longer get the display on but can hear the sound. Please suggest.
Make sure the mini-displayport/TB plug is fully seated. It may look fully plugged in but isn't.
Make sure the Displays system preferences has an Arrangement tab. No Arrangement means the monitor is not being detected.
Do a smc reset.
If none of this works I suggest you take it back to apple (along with your mini). -
Can't get mail to come display, can't quit mail so can't log out
Can't get Mail to come up, can't quit Mail so can't log out
Click the Apple icon, then Force Quit. If Mail is listed as Not Responding, force quit it.

how can I 'reactivate' my 'Get Mail" button so I can retrieve mail manually. The emails do come in at various intervals. I have a Mac OSX 10.5.8/\. The small envelope 'button does change colour when I click it, but I don't get that whirling gear.
Thank you for the reply. At your suggestion, I did try 'get new mail' under Mailboxes, but still nothing, no whirling gear. As I wrote earlier, emails do come in at various intervals, but just not when I click the envelope icon.

My iPhone 4s has been update as I said in subject bar.. Now can't connect to any of my cars Bluetooth systems. Also even more frustratingly can't connect to any wifi networks at home or work!!
How can apple put out such an update that causes so much grief and inconvenience to hundreds of people. Not to mention risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working...outraged!!!!!!First, grow up. Just because YOUR phone isn't working, doesn't mean Apple put out bad software. I've not had any difficulty, nor has anyone else I know. And just how is Apple risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working? It's YOUR decision to talk on the phone or text and drive. Not Apple's.
We're users here, volunteering our time to help others. Posts like yours, which are whiny and ranting, simply means we're likely to ignore you and not provide you with any help. Not to mention, it makes you look absolutely foolish.
Further making you look foolish is the fact that you haven't even asked a technical support question, nor have you provided anyone here with any troubleshooting steps you might have taken, including those recommended in the user guide.
Good luck getting help.

I get an error that says can't connect to the itunes store when I search for a specific artist only
Hi all,
When I try to search for music by a specific artist in the iTunes store on my iPhone 5, I get an error that says "Can't connect to the iTunes store". This only happens when I search for music by this band. I can search for other artists and listen to song clips and everything seems to be connecting to the iTunes store just fine. But for some reason, it doesn't work with this artist. The band name is July for Kings. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but I hope so!
Thanks,
RickIF you are not able to resolve your issue then contact Apple Support at https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.do?caller=ikb&PRKEYS=PL220,1316 29,PL113,PL302,PF3,PF4,PF9,PL303,PL339,p…
hopefully they can help. You may also be interested to know that for some reason it is just not available to a lot of people at the same time. Appears to be an issue of more users than their servers can handle. Has happened periodically for at least 6 months that I know of but apparently users are able to use within several days if there are no other issues with the users device. -
I have an iphone 4s, and i can not connect to any wirless router through wifi??
i have an iphone 4s and i can not connect to any wirless router using wifi, the only way it to put it in the freezer for a few minutes and the i only get like 5 minutes of wifi time and the the connection drops again and the phone can not even recognize the network??
any help??!!Seriously...and where did you get this tech tip? You do realize that all iPhone 4S's are still under warranty, although there's a very good chance your freezer trick has tripped a moisture sensor, thus voiding your warranty. Make an appointment at an Apple store, but be prepared for bad news. Good luck.

I have a MacBook Pro. My mac can detect wifi. But will not connect anywhere. I did get connected via TCP/IP settings but I can't connect to any wifi anywhere. Network diagnostic has a green light for wi-fi and wi-fi settings. Red light for the rest. (Network settings, ISP, Internet and server.)
Hello NotAppleSavy,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Is your problem with streaming audio broadcasts to and are you outside the UK ?
If so you may have fallen prey to the BBC's Content Distribution Network which often seems to produce problems they keep re-issuing advice such as:
