For each mail account, along with designating a primary SMTP server, you should be able to just turn off any and all other SMTP servers you have listed.  In that case, if there is a problem with comcast, the message send should just fail.
Also make sure your comcast smtp settings are correct (port, likely 587 but might be something else for comcast, whether you should be suing SSL or not, do you need authentication or not).
You might find the comcast forums useful for getting the settings right - I found this:

The second poster notes, SSL should be on, authentication should be "password" and you should be using port 995

  • My Iphone 5 doesn't sync most of the time. First time I brought it to Apple Store they replaced the cable. Second time, was there for 4 hours no joke and still does the issue. Today, same thing. What do I do now!? :(

    Got it replaced last week. Turns out the dock was defective.

  • Can I go to an Apple store to replace the battery of my iPod touch 4th Generation without a proof-purchase or if I brought it somewhere else?

    I have an iPod touch 4th Generation that needs battery replacement after 2 years of use. Can I go to an Apple Store in my area to get my battery replaced? I brought the iPod in another store. Do I need a proof-of-purchase or it is too late due to the way past of Apple's warranty or I can't due to not officially not purchasing the iPod touch at the Apple Store? I welcome your feedback. Thank you!

    Apple will replace your iPod with a refurbished one for $79 (USA) or you could do a Google search on "replace iPod battery" for a local or on line repair place that will replace the battery for less.  You can even find a replacement battery (same search) and replace it yourself if you're up to it.

  • I have got a mac book air as a gift from my brother so is it possible to me to ask Apple store to change the keyboard to English and Arabic while the name on the bill is my brother name

    Nobody here can tell you what an Apple store will respond to any question you might ask them.  You need to contact whatever store you are talking about directly to get your answer.
    The US online Apple store does not sell machines with Arabic keyboards, that can be seen from their website.

  • My iphone 4s voice dictation for text messages is not consistently working. Sometimes it works, other times after the dictation it just gives me a blank space. Anyone else having this problem?

    My iphone 4s voice dictiation for text messages is not consistently working. I've had the phone since Thanksgiving and it always worked perfectly, but the last few weeks it's been hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Anyone else having this problem? I tried the hard reset but that hasn't fixed it.

    I have the same problem since updating to IOS 8.3. Any app to which I want to send a new link via IMessage does not allow me to select a contact to send the IMessage to. Using a pre-existing thread does not have same problem.

  • How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    Hi
    I have bought my iPhone 3G yesterday. I have found out how to transfer music from iTunes however i can't transfer videos. I'm selecting the videos i want to transfer on the videos tab after i chose my iphone from the side menu and pressing apply. iTunes says that its syncing my iphone but it doesnt transfer the videos.
    Lately i have found out a function on the advanced menu for movies as "create iphone or ipod version". When i used that it transfered that video to my iPhone however the sound was completely lost besides that action takes too much time(around 10 mins for a 3 min video and i have a pretty strong computer).
    How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

    One thing I'd recommend is that you make sure the video/audio you're trying to transfer falls within the guidelines listed in the 'Video' section here:
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    What's most likely happening is that the file is not converted as such so when you try to transfer it, it's wanting to convert it but is unable to for any number of reasons.
    There's software out there that might make this easier for you but I can't recommend anything specifically.

  • The sound on my iPhone isn't working I tried putting headphones in and it worked, but as soon as I take th out and the sound countinues playing the sound stops help please

    The sound on my iPhone isn't working I don't understand why it was working fine an hour ago I haven't dropped it or anything simply just out it on silent... The music I was trying to listen to didn't want to make a sound when I turned it in , I put a pair of headphones in and and it worked as soon as I took it off it completely stopped the music was playing still I could see it in the top column that  the play button was on ... Then I made a call an the same thing happened I turned it on speaker and then I could hear them... The sound is completely off even tho i looked at the seettings and put the volume on high noting is sounding on its own not even when i tap the buttons... I took it off the silent before I tried this stuff I don't understand please help !!!

    make sure that your head phones are not attached to the phone then use the volume buttons on the side, if when using them you see a pic of headphones on the screen, then you have some lint in the headphone jack, use some compressed air and blow it out.
    If you dont see that then try to reset the phone, hold down the home and power buttons for 20 seconds or untill you see the silver apple.
    If you are still having a problem restore the phone and set up as new to see if that clears it up.

  • The sound on my iPhone 4S cuts out when playing music/podcasts.

    The sound on my iPhone 4S cuts out when playing music/podcasts.  If I unplug and replug in the headphones, the sound comes back on, but often for only 20 seconds or so before cutting out again.  Sometimes it will play for 15-20minutes before cutting out.  The track is not "paused", and appears to continue, just no sound.  I tried cleaning the headphone jack with compressed air to no avail.  I also noticed the the same phenomenon occurs when I sync my bluetooth to my car audio.  That is, it will play for a while, then the sound will cut out, even though the track is still shown to be playing.  If I reset the bluetooth, the sound comes back on.
    This started happening about a week ago, but no "event" that I can think of caused it.  I didnt' get the phone wet, forcefully drop it, or leave it in extreme heat.  I've tried doing a reset of the phone.  I also was running iOS5 when I first noticed this, and since upgraded to iOS6.  The problem appeared with both.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    One thing that helped was getting a toothbrush and scrubbing the dock connector on the phone.  I scrubbed the connector and used compressed air for about 1/2 hour till the connector looked much cleaner.  An Apple employee told me that the pins on the phone had a little corrosion and sand.  The problem hasn't gone away completely, but has been significantly reduced.  I'm going to hold out until my contract expires after which time I'll switch to an iPhone5 (or newer) or Android phone.

  • The sound on my Iphone 4s is not working. what should I do to fix it?

    So randomly the sound on my iphone will not work. Sometimes it will work for short periods of time but then the sound bar will disappear and i'm not sure why...help please!

    It sons silly but check the little button above the volume buttons on the side and make sure you can't see orange... If you can, flip it.... And the sound will work. Took me hours to figure that one out....

  • My screen is black and i can hear the sounds on my iphone 4s - what should i do.

    my screen is black and i can hear the sounds on my iphone 4s - what should i do. i have tried to restart and i still doesnt work

    I had the same issue with my 2008 iMac and Apple support walked me through the fix yesterday...
    1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
    2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
    3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
    4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
    5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping).
    Apparently it's an issue with an automatic update that never quite got past the login screen.
    Hope this helps!

  • I have acrobat pro on my lap top and recently installed acrobat pro on my Mac Mini, but the text recognition function is not working, does anyone have any advice on how to remedy this problem?

    I have acrobat pro on my lap top and recently installed acrobat pro on my Mac Mini, but the text recognition function is not working, does anyone have any advice on how to remedy this problem?

    On my laptop when I open up a pdf file and do a search for a particular
    text phrase it prompts me to run a character analysis.  Whereas on my mac
    mini, when I try to engage the same process it just says it couldn't find
    the phrase and doesn't even try and run a character analysis. I tried
    clicking on the tool bar and the recognize text tab but nothing there seems
    to do anything.
    In trying to figure out the issue on my own I noticed one thing.  I run a
    small law firm in St. Louis and I scan in all my files to which are
    subsequently emailed to my outlook account where I will save them as pdf's
    to their respective folders.  On my laptop when I open up an email from my
    scanner I see the image of a acrobat document next to the attachment
    paperclip symbol.  However, when I open up the same email on my mac mini I
    notice instead of an acrobat file image it shows a Preview file image (the
    program used to open up pdf's before I installed acrobat).
    Hope this helps!
    Sincerely,
    Jonathan McAllister

  • Using the Cyclops speed camera app, the sound on my iPhone 4s switches off after a few minutes. Any ideas?

    when using the Cyclops speed camera app the sound on my iPhone 4s switches off after a short while. If I close the app and reopen it, there's still no sound. If I restar the phone and open Cyclops I get sound "welcome to Cyclops" or whatever the greeting is. Has anyone got any ideas?

    I've taken several Express devices apart in the past to experiment with them. The internal components warm up quite a bit in the first 10-15 seconds. They continue to heat up after this.  It takes 3-4 minutes or so before the heat transfers to the outer case for dissipation.
    Nothing is certain, but I'm 95% sure that this is your issue.  But, trying to find a microscopic break in a circuit board trace is, as I mentioned, a real longshot. If you have the time and have done things like this before, it might be worth a shot.
    I guess the bottom line is that even if this is not the issue, the device will still need to be replaced since Apple does not offer repairs. There are no software or firmware fixes for somthing like this.

  • I had bought the iphone 5 four months ago. The problem is that it gets heated too much. I noticed it recently. What should I do? Should I take it to apple store to replace? Will they replace my iphone 5?
