Receiving email after Snow Leopard upgrade

Everything works fine after Snow Leopard upgrade 10.6.2 except I cannot RECEIVE email. I have checked with Comcast and verified my settings for both incoming and outgoing POP mail.

Hello and welcome to the Discussions.
I had no problems of this sort when upgrading to Snow Leopard or 10.6.2. Were you already running Snow Leopard in an earlier version, or did you upgrade from Tiger (10.4.11) directly to SL 10.6.2?
Quit Mail, and in the Finder open Home/Library/Mail. Locate any files named to include MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded. At the root level of the Mail folder you should find one named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3, but look in each POP account folder also. There if you find any other, including MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 delete them from each POP account folder -- they are not used in versions of Mail later than 2.1.3.
Relaunch Mail and test.

  • Isight no longer works after snow leopard upgrade

    my isight no longer is available directly after snow leopard upgrade on my macbook black. Anyone else with the same problem? The isight does not show up in 'about this mac' under USB and I tried resetting SMC and PRAM.

    Hi,
    In Leopard there was an App called iSight Update app that was in Hard Drive/System/Library/Core Services
    This does not seem to be there in Snow Leopard.
    An issue with some computers with the camera was that in System Preferences > Displays the Colours needed to be set to Millions.
    Also check the Hard Drive/System/Library/Extensions folder and see that you have the Apple_iSight.kext (this is likely to handle the Internal iSights as well).
    One last thing.
    Some Web sites can make use of the camera using Flash.
    If that tab is still open the Browser may have use of the camera.
    It sounds like you have done computer restarts and this will not be the case unless the browser is set to go back to that page.

  • Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.

    Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.
    Is there any way to use a 10.5.7 wireless .kext files on Snow Leopard? And where can I find the files?

    Ok, I have the fix!! After several frustrating days it finally just works.
    The process:
    Upgrade your Macs to 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
    Powercycle your modem AND time capsule / airport TWICE
    Reset your time capsule with a pin or paperclip on the back
    Follow the prompts to setup your time capsule / airport access
    -- On your Macs
    Go to System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced > TCP/IP
    Click "Renew DHCP Lease" then click "Ok"
    Click Apply
    Turn off Airport
    Turn Airport on
    IT WORKS!!!
    One of the magical people at tech support walked me through it earlier today. The whole process took about 1.5 hrs because Show Leopard takes about an hour to install on one machine.
    Hope this helps-

  • Finder search "aliases" missing after Snow Leopard upgrade

    I'm dealing with a crazy annoyance after upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard - currently running 10.6.2
    I have 2 duplicate, external, 1TB WestDig Drives. I have no problems accessing these drives from the Finder, but if I use Finder search or Smart Folders, the corresponding folders on the external drives never open on the first try. I always receive the message:
    +The alias “…” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.+
    On the second try, search result folders open fine and I don't seem to have any further problems with a folder once it has been opened successfully from within search.
    It seems that after my Snow Leopard upgrade every search on the external drive reveals "missing" folder aliases although the "aliases" appear as regular folder icons.
    I tried re-indexing Spotlight but this did not solve the problem. I also trashed my plist files for Finder and Spotlight which didn't help either.
    External Drive volume info from Terminal:
    +drwxrwxr-x 21 782 Mar 14 17:18 PHOTOGRAPHY ARCHIVE+
    FWIW I've found others having similar problems on the Apple forums HERE and HERE. I've tried their suggested PathFinder workaround without success.
    This is driving me bonkers because it renders Smart Folders somewhat useless. Additionally, these external drives work fine on my old installation of 10.5 Leopard
    Thanks for any help!

    HI,
    Try repairing disk permissions...
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Can't Print After Snow Leopard Upgrade

    I have a home network centered around an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. The base station is wired to a Linksys network switch which, in turn, is wired to two computers - an Apple Dual G5 running OS X 10.4.11 and a and Mac MIni which, until yesterday was running Leopard. I have an HP Laserjet P1006 connected to the USB port of the AEBS and, until yesterday, everything worked fine. Yesterday, I ran the Snow Leopard Upgrade on my Mini and now the Mini won't print to the HP over the network. If I connect the printer directly to the MIni, it works fine; as soon as I reconnect the printer to the AEBS, the Mini will no longer print. The lights on the printer will flash but nothing comes out. I have downloaded the HP Printer driver update from Apple but this didn't help. I have reset the AEBS, to no avail. The G5 running Tiger has no problems with printing. And, my daughter just got a brand-new MacBook Pro loaded with Snow Leopard from the factory and she can print to the HP over the network without any problems.
    Any ideas?

    When I upgraded iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard 10.6 it also stopped printing wirelessly to Brother MFC6490CW.
    I thought I had this same issue with my Epson printer when wireless printing. Actually, in SL, wireless printing is very slow at least with an Epson. Takes about 5 minutes or so for wireless print to even start. When checking the printing status app, it will start out saying "printer ready." Then after a few minutes it will say "looking for printer." A few minutes later it will say "printing."
    When I go into the next room where the printer is, the green light is "flashing" letting me know that "printing" has started.
    So I guess what I am trying to say is to check the printing status app after you click "print." It's possible "Brother" is just as slow as "Epson."

  • PS3 and Safari crashes after Snow Leopard upgrade

    How is everyone enjoying the crashes after their Snow Leopard upgrade? I can't save a photo using PS3, or download a photo to flickr or facebook without a crash. PS3 crashes, Safari crashes and work flow is at a crawl? Spoke with tech yesterday and they told me that this would stop if I downloaded Snow Leopard again, which I did, but the problem wasn't resolved. To top it off, I lost permissions on the iMac and can't use the computer. Please tell me where all of the accolades came from? Were the reviews done by people who actually work on their computers or by people who play on them? Oh, and another thing, lost my wireless access to the router and had to start all over. Be careful here, this has not been fun!

    Excuse me, I meant to write CS3 instead of PS3.

  • Trouble dragging emails to folder in Mail app after snow leopard upgrade.

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, the mac mail app is not dragging emails into a folder (mailbox) the same as it was before. If I select multiple images, then drag them into a folder, it leaves some of them out, and only drags some of them, so I have to go back and find reselect the images it didn't move and drag them into the folder again.
    It doesn't always happen, but I find it happens most of the time. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?

    Same issue here. Specifically, it seems to be an issue when the emails aren't all right next to each other.
    I thought 10.6.2 would fix it, but no such luck.

  • Email Glitch After Snow Leopard Upgrade

    Since upgrading and doing the update that is designed to fix some glitches I still have 2 problems.
    1) My signature attaches to all replies and must be removed on each. In the old system you could set the signature to automatically attach only to new messages and never to replies. Is this no longer possible?
    2) When I hit reply, the text box contains the original message, which I prefer, but it is all the way at the top of the text box and starts with a line conataining the date, time and sender of the original incoming note. can I change how this looks and give myself a couple more lines at the top above the original message to which i am responding?

    First of all you can click on Mail in the menubar and choose About Mail -- this will identify the version your are running.
    In Mail Preferences/Signature, below the menu for choosing if the use and which Signature to use, there is a box that can be checked to place the Signature above quoted text.
    Another thing to note -- again no change in Snow Leopard -- is if when in the Compose window you click on the Icon to the left of the From address, and choose Customize, you can then check to always have an option right in the Compose Window to change Signature or to choose None.

  • Cursor focus in text fields in Safari broken after Snow Leopard upgrade

    Hi, I just upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard on my Macbook. Since then, whenever I am typing in a text field in Safari (e.g. Gmail's compose message contents field), the cursor freezes. I cannot move the cursor with either arrow keys or the mouse. I cannot select text. The only way to move the cursor is to click on a different text field (e.g. the email subject field in Gmail) and then click back on the location I want in the first text field. But even after that, I cannot move the cursor within that field aside from typing characters -- I still have to click back and forth between different text fields.
    I have not had this problem in Firefox.
    This seems like a minor thing but it makes Gmail unusable in Safari, which basically means Safari is useless to me now. Still, I prefer to use Safari for general web browsing since it is much quicker, so I am hoping someone can recommend a fix (preferably not going back to Leopard, although that is an option via a SuperDuper restore).

    HI,
    Other Safari users have experienced this issue but the issue resolved itself after uninstalling the Flash player plugin, then reinstalling, then repairing permissions.
    Go here and follow the instructions. Uninstall Flash
    Install the most recent version of Flash here.
    Now repair permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Aperture 2.1.4 Crashing after Snow Leopard Upgrade

    Hi All
    Upgraded to Snow Leopard today and then shortly after a successful upgrade, also upgraded Aperture to 2.1.4 via software update.
    It now crashes almost immediately after launch giving the output below. It would seem that the "library not loaded" part would be the cause.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had this same error message, removed Aperture and all receipts, re-installed Aperture 2.0 from the CD, and installed the upgrade to 2.1.4. When I launched it, I got the same error message. I have no plug-ins installed. Any other ideas?
    Thanks so much.
    Edit: Also, I upgraded my MacBook Air to Snow Leopard and had no problem, but on my Mac Pro where I'm having the problem, I installed Snow Leopard on a clean drive and transferred all of my data from a Time Machine back-up.

  • Weird outgoing mail issues after snow leopard upgrade

    After upgrading to snow leopard a couple of weeks ago (then immediately to 10.6.5), I have been having trouble sending mail from my work machine on one account. After reading these forums and trying several solutions (listed below), the thing which seemed to work for me was deleting the outgoing mail server entry in the preferences pane and re-entering the information. However, this solution does not always work for me, and is only temporary; after some amount of time (variable? on the order of minutes?) the problem recurs.
    If I open connection doctor the server in question displays a "Connecting to server..." message for a long time (minutes) and then "Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you...". I get this behavior even just after resetting the smtp server, while I am successfully sending test emails.
    As with others here, the same account works fine on other machines.
    Things I have tried, on my own or based on advice read in the forums:
    1) specifying the port for the server in advanced settings
    2) Deleting and re-adding both the smtp server and the imap account
    3) Setting mobileme to manual sync
    4) "cd /var/log;touch mail.log;sudo chown root:admin mail.log; sudo chgrp 644 mail.log" (which doesn't produce any logs for me).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I for got to add
    5) repair permissions in disk utility
    6) reboot

  • Rocketfish bluetooth keyboard can't auto connect after snow leopard upgrade

    Hi,
    I have one of the newer model 2GHz Mac Mini's which I bought back in March. I've been using a Rocketfish model RF-ABTKB bluetooth keyboard (which I had been previously using on a windows system before getting the mac). Up to now, the keyboard had worked fine. Whenever I booted the mac, I'd use my bluetooth mouse to go to the bluetooth menu, scroll down to "Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard", and then select "connect" out of the sub menu, then would click the "connect" button on the underside of my keyboard and it would connect, every time.
    I bought Snow Leopard on Friday & upgraded my machine. Since the upgrade, I no longer see the "connect" option for the keyboard in the bluetooth menu. The only option I see now in that sub-menu for the keyboard is "Open Keyboard Preferences...". If I go to the preferences window, click "set up bluetooth keyboard" at the bottom of the window and go through the pairing process again (going through the discovery process, entering the PIN that the mac generates, etc) it pairs and works fine (I'm actually using it to type this post). If I look at the keyboard sub-menu in the bluetooth menu after it's paired/connected, the "Disconnect" option is now available. The disconnect option itself is no surprise, it had been there in the past, but I thought it's odd that I can still see the disconnect option but not the connect option.
    When I disconnect the keyboard (by either selecting that Disconnect option or by just not using it for 5 minutes & letting it go to sleep) the keyboard disconnects, the "shadow icon" fades on to the screen showing the keyboard is no longer connected, and I can go back to the bluetooth menu & still not see the same Connect option that used to be there before the upgrade.
    My generic bluetooth mouse (doesn't have a brand name) continues to work with no issues. I called the support number for Rocketfish (which is really just a consumer electronics sub-brand of Best Buy), they said that their keyboard is fully compliant with Mac OS X and if the connect option is no longer showing up for the keyboard in the bluetooth menu, Apple must have done something that changed the way the mac is handling bluetooth.
    Also, I did try removing the keyboard from the Bluetooth control panel in System Preferences and re-adding it from scratch, no change.
    Anybody have any ideas???

    Hello N:
    I suspect that there has been some sort of incompatibility introduced. However, since this is an Apple forum, I recommend that you pursue the problem with "rocketfish." If is suggested troubleshooting steps, I might confuse the issue further as I would be focussed on Apple devices.
    FWIW, no such problem has surfaced with Apple keyboards or mice. I am not trying to sell you one, I do not work for Apple.

  • Can't download files after Snow Leopard upgrade

    Hello all,
    yesterday I upgraded my leopard to snow leopard, since then I cannot download files with safari (also tried firefox, camino). When I click some link it looks like its going to start downloading but it doesn't. Most of the links are .dmg files. I have tried these steps so far but the problem still occurs.
    1) Repair the Disk Permissions.
    2) Downloaded onyx to clean the system.
    3) Cleaned the safari cache and settings, as well as the plugins directory.
    4) installed firefox and camino but they act the same.
    5) I uninstalled iGetter (if I copy the link location and add it to iGetter I can download the file).
    6) I created a new User to check if the problem was system wide or with the user account. The problem is the same in the new user account as well.
    Any ideas what to try next ?
    Thank you all in advance.
    John.
    ps: I have 10.6.2 and safari 4.04.

    Try using your OnyX to clean the LaunchSevices caches, or use Terminal.
    Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
    Code:
    <pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
    Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

  • FCP Studio will not boot up after Snow leopard upgrade.

    Everything was working fine on Leopard but decided to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Now the program stats up and we get to the splash screen then it quits. Anybody help me? so far Snow Leopard has been a complete waste of time, After effects on Mac will not work now either.

    They all work except FCP 6 and After effects cs3. FCP is my main worry. I have a deadline to finish.

  • OS will not boot after Snow Leopard Upgrade

    I have a MacPro (Intel). I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and everything appeared fine. However, after restarting my computer the OS will not load. A circle with a hash through it replaces the Apple logo and the apple's spinning wheel continues but all drive activity. I have tried to run the install again by forcing the computer to open the dvd drive then booting for the OS DVD but this has not worked. Has anyone experienced this and successfully resolved?

    You have a five year old computer, so a failing hard drive at this point is not so strange. You have a couple of options you can try. Start with this one, but if it does not work you will have to erase the hard drive. I hope you have a backup of all your files.
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
