Not receiving emails on iMac, iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and macBook Air.

When we purchased our MacBook Air a couple of months ago, we could not receive emails. We have spoken with Comcast and they made sure our settings were okay on their end. In my screwing around on my iMac password, we now are not also receiving home emails. We are set up in iCloud.

Hey there Wolfeden6,
If you are still unable to get your email on your iPhone, and your iOS devices, I would first recommend using this article to help with your Mac Mail program. It walks you through using the Connection Doctor to help diagnose the connection issue.
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
And for your iOS devices, this is the article I would recommend:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
To make sure that you're connected to the Internet, open Safari and go to www.apple.com.
Log in to your email provider's website to make sure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Make sure your settings are correct using Mail Settings Lookup.
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

My Mac is not receiving emails, but my iPhone receives emails. How can I fix this?

I have a MacBook Pro Retina with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. I recently tried to send a large file through the iCloud email drop. The email stayed in my outbox for a day and made my email app extremely slow. The email never sent, so I deleted the email from my outbox and restarted the program. Now, my email is no longer receiving any emails. The same email account on my iPhone receives emails, but my Mac email program will not receive emails. I've restarted the program and the Mac, but nothing has resolved the problem. Any suggestions???

Mail (Yosemite): If you can’t receive messages

When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.

Problem:
When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.
Any help that you can provide in helping my iPhone accurately sync with iPhoto and iTunes will be greatly appreciated.
Symptoms:
1)   Sync: It’s not completing the sync. Below, I’ve provided all of my settings from the iTunes Summary tab so that you might tell me if I’ve selected any incorrect options. I prefer to sync the “old school” way – by connecting to the computer – as opposed to syncing over the cloud. Perhaps this is what’s causing the problem? Here is a list of the steps displayed in the iTunes window as the sync progresses:
waiting for sync to start (step 1 of 7)
backing up (step 2 of 7)
preparing to sync (step 3 of 7)
determining apps to sync (step 4 of 7)
preparing apps to sync (step 5 of 7)
importing photos (step 6 of 7)
waiting for changes to be applied (step 7 of 7)
syncing apps / copying 1 of 4 (App name) (step 7 of 7)
canceling sync
apple icon
2)   Photos: I've selected only certain of my iPhoto albums to sync to my iPhone. All of the albums are correct/complete in iPhoto. All of the albums are listed on my iPhone, both before and after the sync, but the albums are empty (no actual photos) before and after the sync. Perhaps this is tied to the fact that the sync isn’t completing, but because “importing photos” is one of the steps that the incomplete sync displays, I don’t know.
3)   Apps: When I launch iTunes and click on the Apps folder under the Library listing, then click on the Updates tab, iTunes searches for any Apps needing to be updated and provides a list. If I click on Update All, the Apps are successfully updated in iTunes. But, when I plug in my iPhone so that the updates will transfer to the apps on my iPhone, the updates don’t transfer to the apps on my iPhone and those apps still reflect that they need updating on the iPhone.
Other Potential Pertinent Info:
The flash memory hard drive on my MacBook Air recently died (perhaps a month or two ago). Apple had emailed me about a known issue and literally the next day, my MacBook Air crashed. I installed a new flash memory drive and re-installed everything from a backup off of an external hard drive. Everything seems to be working fine; it recreated accurately all of my software and data, including iPhoto and iTunes, the pictures and songs (respectively) for which are stored on that hard drive, as opposed to being on the flash memory in the MacBook Air itself. However, I don’t recall if the start of the sync problem described herein started happening at the same time that I replaced the flash memory drive. All I know is that the computer is working perfectly in all respects and that even as the sync is failing, it at least says that it’s doing the right things and looking in the right places (e.g., the list of albums on my iPhone matches the list of albums in iTunes, etc.).
Settings/Status:
MacBook Air
OSX v. 10.9
iPhoto ’11 v. 9.5 (902.7)
iPhone iOS 7.0.4
iTunes v. 11.1.3 (8)
Summary Tab
Backups (This Computer)
Options
Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected
Sync only checked songs and videos
Photos Tab
Sync Photos from iPhoto (429 Photos)
Selected albums, Events, and Faces, and automatically include (no Events)
Albums – 9 are selected

You need to download iTunes on your computer. iOS 6 requires the latest version of iTunes which is 10.7.

Bluetooth connection between iPhone 4 and MacBook Air

How to enable bluetooth connection between iPhone 4 and MacBook Air?

I used to be able to connect my iPhone 4 with my 3 yr old MacBook Pro using Bluetooth. I used my iPhone's personal hotspot more then once to access the Internet on my laptop when there was no wireless. I don't get why it wouldn't work with my new MacBook Air. That just seems silly. My laptop found my iPhone and was able to add the device, but then my iPhone wouldn't connect. Is there really no way around this??

Limit or issues with adding email account to iphone 4 AND Macbook Pro

Is there a limit to email accounts on iphone 4... I tried to add a 4th email account to iphone 4 AND to my email program on MacBook Pro. It worked for a couple days and not both say user name or pass is incorrect. I CAN check email from gmail.com STRANGE! :/ Annoyed
Thanks for info!
~Joy

think all do that same deal when changing network if you're driving
it's not the speakers it's the wire connecting the device with the speakers
it will act as a neutral antenna and receive the harmonics from the gsm signals when they get a sms or change network and that will play in the speakers
maybe you could look into a very very very shielded cable 3.5mm cable which would be protected from those harmonics or maybe you should look into external speakers which use bluetooth a2dp profile

Trouble with bluetooh connection between iPhone 4 and MacBook Air

I cannot connect bluetooth bewteen iPhone 4 an MacBook Air. Any suggestions?
Thnks in advance

The only supported connection between an iPhone and a computer is for tethering (hotspot/sharing phone's cellular internet connection) and that is only if it is supported by your cellular plan. More information:

Not receiving emails on my iPhone 5 as of yesterday. Turned phone off, did not help. Any suggestions?

Hello, as of yesterday I am not receiving any emails on my iPhone. Have tried turning the phone off, and rebooting. Doesn't work. I read something about having your email account open on another device, but that has not affected it before. None of the new emails in my inbox are showing up. Please help!!!!

Try quitting the Mail app.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

Iphone 5c and Macbook Air wifi problems

Just bought an iphone 5c and got the new macbook air in September. Everything has been great with my macbook air until I got my iphone 5c. The problem comes when I have both the phone and laptop together, connected to my home wifi. Only one will connect at a time, on my iphone it wont even recognise my home wifi but as soon as I disconnect my laptop the wifi becomes visable. I know its not a router issue, Ive turned it on and off and it only works for about 5 minutes. Can anyone tell me what the think is going on or how to fix it? Thanks, Eva

What exactly have you tried? Did you try different security settings? Which ones did you try? Were there any more successful than another? Which one was it on when it worked for a few seconds? Is the router running the latest firmware?

HT204144 i have iphone 6 and macbook air Mid2011

i can't send any thang from my iphone 6 to another iphone 6 or my macbook air Mid2011

What ISP and modem do you have? Actual make and model of the modem from the base please?
Actual make and model of the router if separate from the modem? Since this discussion area is about apple routers I presume you have an extreme or express.. what model number and age.. again direct from the base.. A1xxx please.
From the MBA open your airport utility.. again assuming you have an airport and give me the overall screenshot of the network. Do the screenshot with the airport highlighted.. thusly.
There is more info in the main Edit area.. but for now that is not so useful.
I want to see what is connected so if you hover the mouse over the list of devices connected by wireless you will see extra info.. take a snap of that as well.
So mine looks like this.
For reasons none of us understand.. some devices show with their full names and lots of info. And others show up with no IP and min of details.. but I need the snap of everything there.

Thethering between iPhone 3gs and MacBook Air wont work!

I have used thethering between my iPhone 3gs and old MacBook without ever having any problems, but last week i bought a new MacBook Air and thethering doesn't work anymore.
When I try through USB it says in my internet settings on MacBook that iPhone is not connected - it is tho, cos it works fine with iTunes and iPhoto. If i try via Bluetooth the first steps of connecting works fine, but after it's connected a popup window comes up on my phone saying my MacBook Air is not supported, and connection is lost.
Any suggestions?
Would be grateful for any help since this is my only internet source at the moment...
