Outgoing mail server will work on Iphone but not Mail on Macbook

My POP account will send mail on my iphone no problem, but on the mail program on my macbook it times out. All the account information is identical. The mail program keeps telling the server does not support port 995, but on the Iphone it does. I have tried changing the port but it still won't work. Suggestions please!

misilulu, outgoing mail uses the SMTP protocol on ports, 25, 587 (for submission only) and, in the case of SMTPS, port 465 (rarely used and deprecated).
The POP is used for incoming mail on ports 110 or, in the case of POP over SSL, 993.
If all the settings between your iPhone and your MacBook are the same and you are having problems sending outgoing email on your MacBook it is most likely because you are using the wrong port. If you are using port 25 then it is most likely that your ISP is blocking that port for all mail servers except their own. If that is the case try the mail submission port 587. If that doesn't work then try 465 as a last resort.

Thanks in advance.

Lauretta, hi
I just posted this to another discussion where we've been tracking Apple's Facetime problems
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22878878#22878878
"Today, I had to turn off my iPhone in order to do a facetime session between the Facetime app on my MacBook Pro and the Facetime app on my son's iPad mini using his email address because when the phone was on and sitting next to the laptop it kept killing the Facetime connection. TURN IT OFF! Can you believe? Can anyone else out there duplicate this condition?"
Do you think thi smight have something to do with the problem you described?

Are others having the same problems?

Try this. Worked for me.
- turn off your router
- turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
- turn off all iDevices
- do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
- turn on your router first
- ran the network set up wizard
- give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
Something which you don't have used before.
- turn on your Mac's and add your printer
- turn on your iDevices at least.
Should work after these steps.
It worked for me including all iDevices.

You cannot, all content is tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them.

You need to recover your Apple ID for updates.

IMessage working on iPhone but not on MacBook Pro or iPad Air

I Am getting increasingly frustrated that iMessage is working on my iPhone but not on iPad or MacBook Pro. I have tried settings system preferences, taking jabber off etc but still no joy. It's been two weeks now, can anybody help me please

HI,
In System Preferences > Internet Accounts you can enable some email type addresses (they may or may not be actual email addresses) to be able to join various services.
Therefore a Google ID can be activated for Messages as Google allow Google Mail IDs to use their GoogleTalk Service which in turn happens to be a Google Server.
At Facebook (if you have an account there) you can enable Chat which gives you a Facebook Chat ID which also runs off a Jabber server (the ID is similar to your regular ID but has chat in the name and does not work with the Mail App)
Apple Issued IDs (@mac.com @me.com and @icloud.com ending IDs) will work as AIM valid Screen Names in Messages until the 30th June at least (Then @mac.com and @me.com names will stop).
The iOS version of Messages will send either iMessages to Apple IDs and iPhone Numbers or in some cases will send SMS to other phones including iPhones that may not have enough service coverage to do iMessaging.
Of course people may use their Google ID as their Apple ID and use it in the Messages app on the Mac which in turn may mean it is the same on the iOS device.
The same can be done with Yahoo ID.
This means the email IDs from both those services could be used as a Messages account anyway, the iMessages ID as the Apple ID and be active for Mail in Internet Accounts.

I have air printer that works on iPhones but not iPad 2

I have air printer that works with both iPhones but not with iPad2

Just to build on red_menace's answer a bit...
set MyText to do shell script "ps -A | grep '[M]ac VNC 2.1.app' | awk '{print $5}'"
log "MyText=" & MyText
set content of text field "Dir" of front window to MyText
The log command will write the results of the "do shell script" to Xcode's run log window. If you see the correct output there then you know that part is working correctly and the problem is in the way you're trying to insert the string into the text field. Maybe "Dir" doesn't match the name you've given your text field in IB? Or maybe your text field is contained within another view, such as an NSBox or an NSTabView?
Also, I guess "of front window" should work in AppleScript Studio but I always give my windows AppleScript names in IB and then explicitly specify the window in my scripts. Like this:
set content of text field "Dir" of window "MyWindow" to MyText

Computer will recognize my iphone but not my wifes

My wife and I both have Iphone 4's that have been set up on the same computer. Recently the computer will recognize my phone but not my wifes. When I plug her's in, I get a double chime and that is it. Plug mine in, get a single Chime, and Itunes opens and syncs. I have removed Itunes and the supporting programs, including Bonjour, and reinstalled. It did not work. Also I took her phone to the Apple store, it recoginzed on their computer there and they installed IOS 5 for us. Got home and still nothing.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Hello: Thanks to all who replied or read my concern. I was able to solve the issue on my own. What I forgot to mention in the original post was that both my wife and I were attempting to use the Free App " Find My iPhone" from the App Store to set up Find My iPhone which I'm not certain if that was the source of the headache.
At any rate, I simply deleted the app from both iPhones and set up them up in iCloud using the same AppleID account and password which is what it said all along-but I was not getting it. After doing so, both my iPhone and my wife's iPhone are listed in My Devices.
Best Regards,
Marty

When I click on pictures in eBay or Facebook. It will not show the pictures....Will work with IE but not FF

When I click on pictures on eBay and Facebook...it will not show pictures/enlargements...just blanks....will work with IE. NOT ff

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

IMessage working on iPhone but not on MacBook Pro or iPad

I've been working on this issue for several days to no avail. I've even worked through it with multiple technicians on AppleCare (and they actually made the problem worse). I cannot send any messages via iMessages on my Macbook and...in the process of troubleshooting it, lost the ability to send imessages on my macbook. My iPhone (even when the only thing it is connected to is wifi) works fine. I'm using the most up-to-date version of Mavericks. I'm using the most up-to-date version of iOS. The only thing that the technicians and I could figure out to spark this had to do with 2-step authentication. Has anyone else successfully resolved this issue before?

Music works on iPhone but not on iTunes

A really good chunk of my music doesn't work on iTunes anymore - I'll try to play it but get the message that iTunes can't find the file. It definitely still works on my iPhone, but I'm afraid to sync because I'm worried that what music does work on the iPhone will stop working when it syncs with iTunes.
What can I do to get the music that works on my phone back onto iTunes? I probably haven't synced the two since maybe the holiday season; I don't remember how long this has been happening, but it's not new.
Thank you in advance!

I figured out how to remedy this last night. I had to pull my music off of my iPhone since it was no longer on my hard drive -- I used a free program called [Senuti|http://www.fadingred.org/senuti> to transfer the music (note: you have to download the Beta, which is linked at the bottom of the page, for it to work with an iPhone).
The program's website has instructions on how to do the transfer without your phone syncing to your computer (which might delete the music from your phone that's missing in iTunes).
Senuti works by figuring out which music is already on your computer, and copying any music that isn't already there. The problem with this is that all of your music is listed in iTunes even though the files aren't there, so Senuti won't copy anything without some extra steps first.
I had to delete all the songs in my iTunes library (from within iTunes -- and make sure you choose to *keep the files* on your hard drive).
Then in iTunes, I chose *File >> Add To Library...* (or Command + O). By default my iTunes Music folder was already chosen, but you might have to navigate to it and then click "Open."
This will add the files that you do have back into your library. After this, use Senuti and it will copy over all of the missing files from your iPhone to your computer.

Wifi works on iPhone but not MacBook with more bars!

so, sitting in the same spot my MacBook Pro has 4/4 bars but the wifi only works for five seconds at a time (not literally but it feels like it), then I have to disconnect and reconnect. My iPhone has 2/3-3/3 bars and the wifi works great! why is this? Shouldn't the MacBook have better reception as its bigger/has more power? Why does it show more bars than the iPhone but hAbe a worse connection?

Start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, restart as usual and post the results.

Wi-Fi card will work on OS9 but not with mac OS X

I've been having a lot of problems with my imac until I brought to a repair center last year. They had to replace the motherboard and a few other compenents to get it working. Anyway, the end result would be that the wi-fi card wouldn't work. I can detect it and the computer can 'see' it in MAC OS X 'Tiger' but no wi-fi networks are detected. Now what's really strange is that networks are detected when I boot into mac os 9. I've looked for drivers for the airport card but nothing seems to work. Any ideas? One other thing...my internal modem does not work as a fax, it keeps saying modem busy (even though I have an ethernet connection). Please help. Thanks.

Proxy Settings may be set by connection however - that does not imply that all of the services provided by Apple Utilise these connections.
*iPod Touch - No Firmware Updates Applied*: Able to use services like Google Maps, YouTube, Weather
(Confirmed on 3 iPod Touches)
*iPod Touch - Latest Firmware Updates Applied:* Unable to use services like Google Maps, YouTube, Weather. (Confirmed that this connection fails on 2/3 that have been upgraded, one is still pre v2 firmware and connects fine)
Both iPod Touches are configured identically - with a static IP address, differing by one digit.
Same DNS, Same Gateway, Same Proxy IP Address, Same Username/Password.
The issue is not caused by configurations, it is caused by a difference in how authenticate proxy configurations are handled between the firmware supplied with a pre v2 iPod Touch, and the updated v2 firmware.
Perhaps v3 will resolve this issue, but at this time if you have any choice, do not upgrade further iPod Touches to v2 if you require internet access via an authenticated proxy in applications such as Maps, Weather, Mail etc.

Hello akommatas. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Please try temporarily disabling the Windows or third-party software firewall on any PC that is having difficulties accessing the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) with the AirPort Utility. Can the utility find and access the AX now?
If not, instead of waiting for the AirPort Utility to scan, go to the utility's menu bar, and then, choose File > Configure Other ... > Enter 10.0.1.1 in the IP Address field, and then, enter public for the password.

FaceTime works on iPhone but not macbook..? HEEELP.

Facetime makes/recieves calls as per usual with iphone, but Macbook pro is unsuccessful- says 'connecting' and rings without ever getting through/does not recieve incoming facetime from other devices.

Hello emilia_,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with FaceTime. It sounds like you have isolated the issue to your MacBook Pro.
You may be experiencing this issue due to an expired certificate that can be updated by running the software updates on your MacBook Pro. I recommend reviewing the following article:
Unable to make or receive FaceTime calls after April 16, 2014
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5419
If your software is up to date, I recommend continuing to troubleshoot with the steps in the following article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Gmail works on iPhone but not Mail?

I just got a gmail account & tried to set it up with Mail. After searching online when it didn't work I made sure to use IMAP (as suggested by many) but it still shows the account offline in Mail & says "invalid credentials". I synced my iPhone & gmail works on it in Mail, no problem sending or receiving to/from any account.
Also, the test messages I've sent when signed into google mail won't show up in Mail in my hotmail folder (but do go through to my hotmail if I sign into it through Safari) but WILL show up if I send it to my other (non-hotmail) account.
This doesn't make any sense! I've deleted & re-set up my account a bunch of times too.
Help!

G'day,
You need to make sure that you follow these instructions:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=75725
In short, there are two steps:
1) Enable IMAP in Gmail (http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695)
2) Configure Mail (http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=180188)
