Passwords Won't Save. Outgoing Server Changed to GMail?

None of my three POP mail accounts work now. The password text box field won't save any passwords and I see the word for GMail something (outgoing server?) appearing here and there although I never intended or directly did anything that would put GMail as one of my Mail Accounts.
Note: I saw an older post, 4 years old, about this but thought I'd post again since it was Archived and it's "solution," rather drastic (i.e. delete Mail preferences) and even after I did that the problem continued.
I was able to use Time Machine to get my Mail preferences back and did have clear copy of Email Settings...but it seems now I'm back to Ground Zero: what's my username, password, Authentication, etc. and the old settings I have are not working.
I'm wondering if this is linked to recently trying a Safari Extension for Google Toolbar (now uninstalled)?
Whatever...I'd like my Mail back and for it to remember Passwords and have the correct outgoing server.

Two weeks later (after post, above)
I Solved the Problem - I reinstalled Mac OSX 10.6.6 (It was rather painless)
My Mail is working again. Safari now also again remembers passwords.
Also, my Aperture's Mail export also works. (Mail is no longer grayed out).

Apple mail won't save outgoing server port...? Odd symptom.

Each time I close Mail, the SMTP port reverts to 25. I can enter a new port, but Mail won't save that port info. I have to re-enter after opening Mail each time.
Symptom goes like this:
Open Mail, then when sending 1st message after opening app an error "cannot send mail using selected server" appears. I need to go into the settings & switch the port from the default port that is displayed (25), to 3535. After doing that & clicking ok, closing the window, the password dialog box appears & mail sends just fine. Every other message from that point will send.
Close Mail, then reopen. Have to repeat same process again.

Password won"t save in account info

I have a Verizon email address that requires a password to send mail. When I enter the password under the advanced settings it will not save. the save settings option does not come up. The password is correct. it sjust won't save. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Rick

Not sure what you mean. For starters, the Preferences > Accounts > Advanced settings are for the incoming server, whereas you appear to be saying that you have sending problems. The outgoing server settings are in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings...

Email password won't save after Yahoo hack

Opened my Mail inbox and got the wonderful mass of "MAILER @DAEMON" messages. Translation:I got hacked. I haven't had any problems with this since I changed my Yahoo/ATT password to something more complex. Now I'm being hacked again, went in to my account on my iPhone and found that it had reverted to the former password. Entered the new password, got the check marks, but it won't save--it reverts to the old password. I've tried this multiple times, I've tried rebooting multiple times, deleting the account and restoring it multiple times. Now I'm finding that my iPad has the same problem. So I am totally without mobile email now, and like so many of you this just ain't an option.

I Have a similar problem but 9 different emails have been hacked along with my iPhone. I am now on my 3rd new iPhone as Apple thinks this is the issue (I wish). it has become so bad the police dept have become involved and are bringing in the local FBI office since email hacking is a felony and 9 different accts are involved. I do have a good idea of the suspect (s) sadly not who I expected. Someone said to change my phone number to make sure they did not have it and this would help. Think it would?

Password won't save after iOS 6.1 update

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.1 and now imessage won't save my password. After the update, I kept being asked to enter my Apple ID password. Each time I would enter the password and 30 seconds later the dialog would pop up again. After entering it one time I quickly navigated to Settings and discovered that my AppleID password was missing from Messages. I entered it there and that stopped the dialog box from popping up.
Later I had to shut down and restart my phone so iTunes would recognize it. After it booted up the recurring Apple ID dialog box started popping up again.
How can I stop this from happening?

I'm unfortunately in exactly the same situation. Following update to 6.1 on my iPhone 5, I'm prompted every 10 seconds to enter my iTunes password if I re-enable iMessage logged in as my iTunes account rather than phone number.
I have not found a way to make it stop prompting so iMessage is currently not useable by me. This is quite frustrating, Apple's standards have been on a rapid decline for some time. I'm at the point now where I'm reluctant to install updates when they come out due to the frequent regressions such as this I've encountered.
If anyone has a solution, I'd love to know.

Apple El Capitan Beta 4 won't save outgoing POP mail server

Oops... it's actually El Capitan beta 10.11 that I'm using. And I should also add that I've carefully copied the ingoing and outgoing ports and SSL info from GoDaddy, and as many times as I've typed all that in, I'm sure that not every effort contained a typo. I also went into Mail settings, per someone's suggestion, and changed "false" to "true" in the line: "allow unsecured...". It didn't seem to have any effect.

Using the new Apple Mail program in 10.10 beta 4, try as I will, as many times as I will, checking then unchecking "Automatically detect..." (suggested by someone else), when I try to add my GoDaddy outgoing mail server to the list of those available, when I "save", and then go back, it's gone. Time after time after time. I can receive e-mail just fine, so I know I'm hitting GoDaddy's "pop.secureserver.net" just fine. It's hitting "smtpoutsecureserver.net" that I can't do, because I cant get this version of Mail to save the dang thing. HELP!!!!

Dreamweaver CC 2014 won't save site server passwords

Since updating to Dreamweaver CC 2014, it asks for a site server password every time I try to upload files. Even though I toggle the "Save" checkbox on, it will remember the passwords as long as I keep DW running. If I quit DW, it asks for the password again when I try to connect to a site's server. I'm really hoping there's a fix other than recreating all of my site FTP connection info. I do multiple sites.

Sounds like a permissions problem. Try this:
Rename the Preferences folder on your computer:
On Mac : ~/Library/Application support/Adobe
On Windows7 : \Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe
Rename “Dreamweaver CC2014.1” to “Dreamweaver CC2014.1_old”
Re launch Dreamweaver.

Server Admin crashes and cannot save mail server changes

Problems:
1. In one account, Server Admin crashes on startup.
2. As a workaround, I created another account where SA does start. However, in this account it disconnects from the server any time I want to save changes to the mail settings. Nothing gets saved.
Questions:
a. Can this have happened because I earlier deleted mail accounts in SA without going through curadm?
b. If so, will deleting the accounts in curadm solve the problem?
c. If not, what could have caused this sorry state of affairs?
Thanks in advance.

I didn't mention before that after deleting the .plist file, the mail server would no longer accept incoming connections. Restoring the old .plist file and restarting the mail server didn' t help, so I went back to my backup. Then I had to restart the amavisd demon manually to get the mail queue started.
I hope that the rewritten ServerAdmin in 10.5 will be a bit more robust...

Photoshop CS5 sometimes won't save to server

Hi, my office is having an issue saving previously created PS files to the server. This issue occurs seemingly at random times. When we do get the issue we need to save to the desktop and then replace that file over the one still on the server. Not an ideal solution.
All of our files are stored on a Snow Leopard XServe and we work on 2009 model Mac Pro's running Leopard. We intend to upgrade to Snow Leopard but have not done so yet.
The Mac Pro that is the main offender's specs are as follows:
Adobe Photoshop CS5 12.0
OS 10.5.8
2x 2.8 Quad Core
8GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 2600 Graphics Card
If you could shed any light on what may be causing this issue that would be great.
cheers,
David.

Like Mr.Cox implied, when it comes to working across a network with Photoshop: »Just say no.«
Or be prepared for unpleasant surprises.
I myself still often do just that, but mainly on smaller files and I am aware of the risks and rely on our back-up in case of mishaps.
Now I know some of my colleagues have a hard time grasping the matter, because »it always used to work back when with Photoshop version whatever« – but that is irrelevant.
Adobe clearly advises against the practice and it seems understandable to me; just consider the possible number of combinations of server- and station-hard- and software (applications and OS).
The testing process to ensure perfect functionality for all those combinations would probably have to be really lengthy.

Premiere Elements 8 won't save when I change the presets

I'm trying to convert a recorded presentation from .wmv to .flv for a work website. If I render the video first, and then go to share I can output a .flv file.Although it does take 9 hours for a 1 hour recording. But for some reason its set to a tiny 320x320 screen size. As soon as I try to change this setting so that it isn't resized the whole thing stops. I don't get a crash message, and windows doesn't say it's not running. It just stops and the CPU sinks from 98% back to 100%.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
As Steve points out, WMV is a tough format/CODEC to deal with. It requires a lot of processing to use. It's far easier on the computer and the program, to do the conversion, prior to Import. For an SD (Standard Definition) Project, the recommended DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio is as good as it gets. Editing will be much easier, and Export/Transcoding will go far more quickly. Note: DV-AVI Type II files will be about 13GB/hour of Duration.
There are many conversion programs available, and many are freeware. One that gets a lot of recs. here is Prism. I have never used it, as I have DigitalMedia Converter 2.7, but it's shareware. One feature that I like about it is the batch conversion, even from mixed source files. I load it, check my settings, and hit Convert. After a cup of coffee, all of my files are ready to be Imported and edited.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do i put in password for outgoing server on email account

IWeb won't save work in Lion.

Hello,
I've been using iWeb for a cuple of years, and have been creating quite a few web sites by now.
Recently, i switched to Lion, and saved my Domain file from Leopard, to the fresh new copy of Lion.
But now, in Lion, iWeb won't save my work/changes.
I've modified a site 4 times allready. As usual, i used Cmd+S and/or File>Save in order to consrve my work before the actual publishing to the MobileMe Domain. When I modify and publish my web site, the changes are present on the online version, but after i quit the application, everything comes back to the old version of the web site in iWeb. it doesn's matter whether I save or my work with Cmd+S or File>Save, nothing works. Everytime I have to start from the old version of the web site and modify everything again.
Has anyone encountered this problem and can she/he provide a solution for it?
Thake you very much for your time!

No, I have only one Domain file. Inside this Domain file, there are 2 sites. But for the past year it has been the same, and it worked well under Snow Leopard.
The Domain file (saved from Snow Leopard), i copied it to Users/user_name/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Of course, I overwrote the existing one (the sample one that comes with iWeb by default).
As far as I know, this should be the wright place to put it. Proof is that after installing Lion and putting the Domain file in the above named folder, iWeb recognized the Domain file and showed me my 2 web sites.
So i guess the problem doesn't come from here. It must be something different...

Gmail and Mail.app outgoing server

I can receive mails from Gmail in the Mail application...but I can't seem to send them.
I've configured the outgoing server as smtp.gmail.com-- is this incorrect?
Help is, as always, greatly appreciated.
Jonathan

Most likely you will need to use the outgoing (SMTP) mail server of your ISP. If Google is your mail ISP, then to to their site and find out the correct address of their outgoing mail server and how you configure your mail application correctly. You may need to change a port number and/or configure how you authenticate to the outgoing mail server.
