Port 993 error message, now can't set up MacMail for GMail account.

I've been using MacMail for years without a problem. Recently a little exclamation point came up with an error message indicating that the server couldn't connect with the 993 port for my Gmail account. After trying to update my software, restart the program, etc etc I deleted the account, thinking I'd just recreate a MacMail connection to my Gmail account. Not I'm receiving an error message that the server imap.gmail.com is not responding, and I can not set up a MacMail account linked to my Gmail.
I've seen lots of people with this problem, but no sufficient answers to correct it. I am not using a portable device, I am using my iMac to try to make this happen.
Please help! Any incite is much appreciated.
Thank you.
Emily

Hi Emily,
For port 993, is SSL checked & authentication = Password?
Could this be it?
Gmail send but not receive...
Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:

HI THERE I HAVE TO I PODS WITCH WERE GIVE TO ME FROM A FAMILY MEMBER CAN I SET THEM UP FOR AN ACCOUNT FOR ME BUT I DONT HAVE THE OLD ACCOUNT DETAILS

hello there i have been givin a i pod classic from my brother and want to know can i set up a apple acount even if i dont have his account details

The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

Error message "incorrect pasword or user name given for gmail"

When i'm conected to my home wifi or with 3G, i can't read my emails for my gmail account with Mail. Error massage says wrong pasword or user name given for gmail but it works when i'm on the wifi at work. I tried to disable SSL but i can't change any of the smtp stuff, it's all grey.
All the pop smpt etc are activated on my gmail account.
And it's the same on my iPad.

I just googled your issue and found 100's if not 1000's of similar problems with verizon.
Perhaps it's best to wait to try on their forums since it's apparently a widespread issue.

Can I set up icloud for one account on multiple PCs?

Before I start using iCloud, I wanted to know if it would do what I really want it to do. I have a person Windows 7 PC at home that I do most of my picture scanning and I have a work PC runing Windows XP, where I do most of my iTunes purchasing. I also have an iPad that I use for everything I can including modifying documents using Pages.
I want to know the following:
1. can I have the two different PCs set up to the same iCloud account so that they transfer things between them and to my iPad?
2. can make changes to a document in Pages on my iPad and then instead of using iTunes as I do now, use iCloud to get it to one of my PCs so I can work on it more?
Thanks

No, you have to set up your account on your device.

Can't Set Proxy Server For AIM Account

Hi!
In the Messages application, the AIM account has a Server Settings tab where one can opt to connect using a proxy. However, with Mavericks I have found that anything I enter in that field is instantly wiped out. The console logs a message each time:
11/21/13 3:29:25.055 PM Messages[5215]: [Warning] *** API client requested a modification of key "ProxyHost" to be "myproxy", this is being ignored, please file a radar
where "myproxy" is anything one enters into the field.
Any advice?

Hi,
This issue goes way back in to the history of iChat.
It has never been that good at connecting using Proxies.
It has does slightly better if using the System Settings.
I don't use Proxies and so have never spent any time working though this.
Basically iChat and Messages connecting via a Buddy List is via the AIM servers but is almost Peer-to-Peer in process.
Connections are very linear particularly for Video and Audio chats to the extent that connecting to your router with Ethernet and Wifi is enough to cause issues.
Whilst starting up the app also contacts Apple to test bandwidth (Internet Speed) and support things ready for Video and Audio chats.
It is not just a case of Logging in to AIM.

I used migration to send photos form my Mac Book to my I Mac now i get an error message "iPhoto can not be opened because of a problem" Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Max OSX. You may need to install any available updates or reinstall IPhoto.
I tried installing Iphoto it said it was downloaded successfully. I still get the error messafe, and can not open any photos of program, any suggestions?

What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?
Does the message only refer to "a problem" or does it specify what it is?

Im trying to set up a connection to localhost from my mac but keep getting an error message: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.

Hi
I'm new to working with Mamp, Dreamweaver and WordPress and am trying to work using the Firefox browser. unfortunately i keep getting the error message Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost. when i type the URL http://localhost/explore_ca/blog/wp-admin I cant use Dreamweaver with WP without this is there a reason for this and how do i get around it?

1- Is your MAMP working '''whithout errors'''(does it show you errors while executing or running and enabling)?
2- Have you tested other browsers? Is your problem still occuring?
3- Are you using '''proxy '''or '''VPN '''(or setted a proxy server or VPN server on your Computer)?

New MacPro 10.9.4 included Keynote. Worked fine. An update was released August 21. Just downloaded the 6.2.2 update and now get error message "You can't open the application because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". Any ideas?

New MacPro 10.9.4 purchased three weeks ago included Keynote. App worked fine. New update for Keynote was released August 21. Just downloaded the 6.2.2 update. Tried to launch app and now get error message "You can’t open the application “Keynote.app” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Confused as to why it worked prior to update. Nothing else has changed. No issues with recent iMovie, Pages or Numbers updates. Any ideas?

I tested this:
Reinstalled Aperture 3.1 from the Trial Installer.
In some way it seems to be working. But the whole thing is a scary Chimera.
It can create an Aperture library. I can import and edit images, even in Graphic Converter ias an external editor.
But the Media Browser does not show the aperture Library that I created.
The versioning is inconsistent. The library appears as an Aperture 3.4 library in the Finder. Aperture 3.5 seems to be able to read this library and to upgrade it to 3.5
The Applications folder is showing the application as version 3.4 and as compatible. Spotlight is showing it as illegal.
When opening the chimera Aperture, I see plenty of warnings in the Console window:
An Aperture "Hang" report
xpcproxy assertion failed
com.apple.IconServiceAgent: main failed to composite image
quicklookd: Warning
and more ... the hang was critical. I had to force quit Aperture more than once.
So be careful. I would not trust any important Aperture library to this patched application, without testing thoroughly. Be careful with your precious photos.

- What was the error message?
- Try closing iTunes and then disconnect the iPod from the computer. Then reconnect the iPod. If the iPod shows in iTunes then you can try again. However, You should try to resolve the error message first.
- If iTunes does not see the iPod try reetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- I recommend that you come back with the what the error message said and the condition of the iPod and if it is visible in iTunes.

I am trying to use my microphone so that I can respond to questions using duo lingo but I keep getting error message I can't use microphone now. Why is that?

How can I fix the error message I can't use my microphone at this time when I am trying to respond to the duo lingo questions?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Error message, "safari can't find server"

I installed the latest version of Flash Player and ever since then I have had several error messages - "safari can't find server". I tried uninstalling, then installing it directly from the website the next day, I also emptied cache and reset safari. No luck - any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Ok. Let's now create you a new location and see if that fixes it:
System Preferences > Network
In the Location section at the top of the window, click on the combo box and select Edit Locations...
Click on the plus sign and give your location a name (like Home), then Done
Now select Airport from the side bar, make sure Airport is turned On.
Set the correct network name
Now click on Advanced
Select the TCP/IP tab, Configure IPv4 as [Using DHCP], now click on Renew DHCP Lease and wait
After a few seconds you should get an IP address of 192.168.xx.xx and the Router field filled in.
Now go to the Proxies tab and select Auto Proxy Discovery, and use Passive Mode
Click on OK, make sure Airport is still select, then Apply
Fingers crossed! This should now work...
Good luck
Bob

My home page is google and it works but when I open a new tab it displays an error message :Firefox can't find the file at chrome://quick_start/content/index.ht

I've made sure a dozen times that my home page is set correctly, and when I hit the home button next to the search bar it works and takes me right to google BUT whenever i open a new tab i get the error that my page cannot load and the web url that it keeps trying to remember is in the error message:
Firefox can't find the file at chrome://quick_start/content/index.html.
of course the last dot is not the url anymore but the end of the sentence for the error message, but i don't ever use chrome ever on my laptop only my cell so what is going on????? help fix god please!!!!!!

Do you have the FastStart extension?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Playing mp4 audio gives error message "Video can't be played because the file is corrupt"

Playing a particular mp4 audio file directly from a website link gives error message "Video can't be played because the file is corrupt". However other mp4 audio files from this same website do work correctly. What can I do to get all the the mp4 audio files to play directly from the same website? I must have the correct plugins, etc. since the other files play. This file is not playing from YouTube, is it on the website.
Thank you for your help.

What is the link to the site and file in question?
MP4 files should be handled by Firefox itself, not a plug-in.
# Click the ≡ Menu Button and choose Add-ons.
# Click Plugins.
# Set every plug-in to "Never Activate".
# Try loading the file again. Is there any difference?
