Qwest is my ISP, but I would like to receive my email through the Mac Mail

Hi,
I just changed from Comcast to Qwest as my ISP, I tried setting up the iMail for the Qwest service and I am using the .live.com settings, but it doesn't recognize the server. I have to log onto the internet and use MSN Hotmail. Is there some solution so I can use the Imac Mail tab?

So you are able to successfully receive mails with the live.com account? What is currently specified in Mail Prefs as the smtp server? Does it include a username as part of the server name? Does it read like "smtp.live.com:[email protected] or like "smtp.live.com:halen10"? SSL is on for smtp? What kind of authentication? Username/password?What is specified as the smtp server port number? "Default 25, 465, or 587?" What did Qwest technical support say?

  • Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account?  For example: iPad and iPhone, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud), is this possible?

    Hello Apple Community,
    Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account? 
    For example: iPad Air and iPhone 5, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud).  Is this possible?
    This way when I change from an old ipad to a new, I can restore with the ipad backup, and when I change from an old iphone to a new, I can restore from the
    iphone backup.
    Thank you in advance!

    Terminology check here. Do you really mean a "CD"?  There's a difference in Cloud behavior between content from a physical CD you ripped (which only has Cloud content if you have iTunes Match) and an "album" you bought from the iTunes Store.
    Read references for Home Sharing.
    iTunes: How to share music and video - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688 - about Music Sharing and Home Sharing
    Home Sharing Support page - http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/
    iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
    The above can get pretty complicated.  You are probably best off by syncing both devices to a single library and/or updating the libraries on both computers to have the same content.

  • How can I transfer my i tunes account from my PC to my family computer (Macbook)? My husbands account is already there but we would like to see both accounts on the same computer.

    Copy the whole iTunes folder from the My Music directory to the Music folder in the Home directory on the Mac.
    The easiest way to do this is to create another user with the second library.
    If you want both libraries on the same user account then you will need to choose which library iTunes opens everytime you launch (hold down the OPTION key while launching) it as itunes can only read one library at a time. If you do not choose on launch it will open the last library it was connected to. You will also need to rename the iTunes folder when you move it (eg: iTunes2) because your husband's library will already be in the Music directory in a folder named iTunes.
    You can also leave your library on the PC and turn on Home Sharing. As long as you leave the PC running with iTunes open, you will be able to access it from any Mac, Apple TV or iOS devices on the network that is signed in to Home Sharing with the same  Apple ID.

  • Hello, I live in Russia and would like to purchase I-phone through the online store E-bay from a private individual. As in this case, the guarantee?

    Again, the iPhone warranty is NOT international. And, if I may offer unsolicited advice, buying from ebay is always risky. Most sellers are less then honest when it comes to iPhones. They might state that the iPhone is unlocked when it is not; it might not be really unlocked or might be hacked/jailbroken.
    My advice to you is to buy in the country you intend to use the phone and buy it from a legitimate source such as Apple or an authorized reseller.

    I'm having problems with my email account. I receive emails when I'm in a wifi zone.  But if the wifi is turned off and i'm not in a zone I don't receive my emails through the cellular network.  Only when I power off the phone and turn it back on, do I receive the emails through the cellualr network (again with the wifi off)

    In your email settings on the phone check to make sure it is set to receive emails on cellular network.  It's a feature you can turn off so your phone isn't constantly updating emails on the cell network, but if you are usually in a place with wifi and aren't concerned about going over your data allowance, you can turn it back on. 

  • I want to download the recent Adobe app but it said I had to do it through the Mac app store

    I have a rebuilt hard drive for my MacBookPro that recently crashed. Today Adobe wanted me to download a new version. The initial download went well but when I attempted to finalize the download a popup told me I would have to do it through the Mac Apple Store. How do I do this?

    Exactly which one of the many Adobe products are you talking about here?

  • I have an Italian Apple ID, but I would like to buy some application from the UK store. I changed my region from Italy to UK but it doesn't work. I don't want to create a new account. Any ideas?

    hi everyone,
    I am italian, and i always used an italian sim card and and an italian appleID. recently I bought a UK sim card, because I moved in the UK. The problem is that I would like to have access and buy new apps from the UK store, but my apple ID is valid only for the Italian store. I prefer to avoid the creation of a new account for a lot of reason that are not related to this post. Do you have any ideas?
    thanks in advance for your help.
    regards
    Michele

    Nope. You can only have one credit card attached to an account at a time. Its not that big of a deal to use two accounts, users do this all the time. Create the second account(UK Account) in iTunes on your computer...sign out of your Italian account first. Then authorize your computer for this new account: Store>Authorize this computer. Then sync your phone. Now, to switch accounts on your phone: Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...then sign back in with the ID you want to use.

  • I have a macbook and it is a dual boot system, I would like to be able to see the mac side of the system on a larger monitor.  I can hook to a hdmi cable and see the pc side, but not the mac side, any suggestions?

    I have a macbook that I bought second hand.  The mac has a dual boot system with bootcamp on one side and snow leopard on the other.  I would like to be able to hook to a larger hdmi monitor so that in both systems I could see better since on the leopard side the computer has PS4.  I have purchased the dvi to HDMI accessory and purchased the HDMI to DVI cable, and can see fine on the bootcamp side, but nothing on the leopard side.  Could somebody help me with configuring things so that it will see both side? 
    Also on a minor note, I need to purchase a new battery for this item and don't know which one to purchase.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially with the display/monitor issue.
    Thanks Sue
    ps sorry but the operating system is OS X

    When you try to use the Mac side on your external monitor do you get a blank screen or do you see the aurora background?
    It would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

  • Would like to populate an email from the client (Captivate 4)

    I'm sorry if this question has been asked and answed before. It appears the forum search is down (and has been for two days now) so I couldn't search them to find out if it's already been asked.
    I have created a training quiz that users are expected to download to their local system and run. We post all our materials to a SharePoint site, so it won't actually serve the quiz I've created for users.
    I would like for them to send an email when they have passed the test. So I set up the "Send E-mail" parameter when the test has been passed. However, I would like for the Subject and Body to be pre-populated with information so that they just have to click the send button on the email. Is there any way to make this happen? I have searched for usable JavaScript to accomplish this with no luck.
    I appreciate any info or help!
    Thanks!

    If you've selected the Email reporting option and entered the correct email address of the intended recipient, then the body of the email should contain the test results.
    You can add text automatically to the Subject line of the generated email by adding some code after the email address.  If your email is [email protected] then just add ?Your_Subject_Here after it.  So the full email address would be [email protected]?Your_Subject_Here
    Like this:
    Note that you cannot use spaces in the words that come after the ? symbol or Captivate will complain with an error message.  Interpolate underscore characters between the words.
    This is about all you can do as far as spicing up the emails.  But you need to be aware that email reporting has many potential failure points.  Not a lot of users find it a very satisfactory solution overall. It's nowhere near as reliable as other reporting methods.

  • TS4002 Since upgrading my mac to snow lepord, I haven't been able to recieve any mac mail on my MAC. My ipod can get the emails just fine But my actual emails on the MAC Mail keeps telling me to put in my password which i do and it just wont connect. Help

    I"ve reset my password from my laptop thinking the password was the problem, but  the imac mail just keeps asking for the password. It keeps saying The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.me.com” rejected the password for user. Am abit confused as maybe the mail on the imac should be icloud?
    I really have no idea what's going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
    Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

  • I'm moving to an area comcast doesn't service but I would like to keep my email

    In setting up an account with Cox, I was informed that Comcast is the only ISP that does not work with clients in forwarding their emails(have had comcast for 20 years). Why is that so. Why not offer an hosted or Cloud based at least for a minimal fee. I think there should be something that Comcast should do to loyal customer for such a long time.

    As with most ISPs, the email with Comcast is proprietary.  When you cancel their service you lose access to your email with them.  What you need to do is set up the Comcast account in an email client like Outook or Thunderbird, and then you will have the contents of your Inbox on your computer.  But you need to do that BEFORE you cancel service.  That or start forwarding important emails to a free-standing account like Gmail, Yahoo or Outlook.com so that you will have them no matter who your ISP is.

  • I have my iTunes media on an external drive but I would like to know if I keep the library file back to my internal hard drive so it gets backed up by Time Machine.

    I have all my media on an external drive for space. Is there a way I move the library file back to my internal had drive so that Timemachine will keepa  backup of the file. Recently my library file became damaged and I lost all my playlists and playcounts and all that good stuff. Thanks for your help.

    I never lost any media mind you just the library file that tell iTunes where everything lives.
    On this point, you can keep a copy of of the "Itunes Music Library.xml" file, which contains the itunes metadata for your music library (songs & playlists).
    Obviously, you would still need the files themselves for this to be of any worth, but if you ever find yourself in the same situation you can use the .xml file to recreate iTunes as it was. Keep in mind that you must import the .xml file into iTunes for this to work, you cannot simply move it via the finder. 

  • I would like to transefer some pictures from the Mac to the Iphone. How do i do this without losing all the pictures on the iphone through Synching?

    The options in itunes seem quite limited. For instance, I have culled the pictures on the iphone down to a nice 250 or so pics i dont want to lose. But when I try to add another selected folder through itunes it wants to erase all the pictures on the iphone I have. I could create a folder out of all the pic i have on it now and then select that as well when Synching but that means any new pictures i like in the future won't be saved either if i wish to add more from the compuiter through synching.
    How do i add a folder of pictures from itunes without affecting the pictures on the camera roll.  This doesnt seem to be an issue when adding music manually to an ipod for instance. Wheres the openness of the system to hand-pick and create your own scenario?
    Thanks for the help...
    Pic-ed off.

    Are they in iPhoto?
    Some possibilities:
    iPhoto Sharing:
    IEnable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and move to the other machine. There, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running on both machines for this to work.
    Use iPhoto Library Manager
    Export from one Library and copy to the other mchine and import there
