SMTP accounts offline.  Can not get them online!

Using Mail 4.6.  Several of my SMTP accounts are marked as "offline" and the the menu choices for changing accounts to online are greyed out.  This is only interfering with sending mail from a single Gmail account, and I have checked the settings and attempted to change the SMTP server, but it consistently shows up as "offline" no matter what I do.  I am receiving mail from this account and can both receive and send mail from my other Gmail accounts, and all other accounts.
Is there some way to change the status of the SMTP settings to "online"?  Deleting and re-entering them has not worked.  Under the Mailbox menu "Take All Accounts Online" is greyed out and the only options shown with Online Status are to take accounts Offline; the accounts that are offline are not shown at all with any option to take them online.  Any ideas about why this is happening?

I am using a MIFI (ATT) as we live in the country and cannot get any other providers. On the same machine with  a different user, there is no problem. There is no "offline" and the server is iCloud (iCloud). But on this user, setting up everything the same, it will keep "offline',although the Clonnection Doctor says that mail is connected to the Internet. But it doesn't work!! Any other information? Thanks for any help.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

    Go to the Apple Store online. You should see your login name at the top on the right. Click on it and choose View Account. Log in then from the dropdown menu on the right select how far back to go. You can only go back 18 months, maximum.

  • I need to get into my old account and get my addresses and then cancel the old account but can not get into it. Had to change my user name when I moved and now I can't get into Firefox. Can't remember the old password. What to do??

    I moved during the summer. I changed to highspeedand & when I set my computer up it told me that my email address was already in use so I had to change it(????) I changed from jkady to [email protected] I tried to change it on firefox but it would not except the new name and I could not get into my old account.I need all my addresses and would like to cancel the old account but I can not get into it. This is very frustrating!!!!! I need my addresses!!!!!!!!

    I logged in changed the primary E-Mail address to a different one, vertified it then tried to log in it said either to send an E-Mail to veritify again or to do my security questions, so I choose to do the security questions and put in my Birthday like it asked and it said that it was wrong and I had to authenticate it to get in, why is it so hard to just set up a Apple ID really though!
    So I tried the E-Mail to and it has not sent me an E-Mail then I tried to log in again and it has locked me out of my account so I try to recover my password and it gave me the same options to get my password back and both options are doing the same as before, it says I don't know my on birth date or it is wrong or needs authenticate it, then the E-Mail doesn't come through!
    This is just stupid now.

    Also, and although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment as been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com].

    i am devistated! those songs bought me so many memories ! please help asap !!! x
    hannah x

    The iPod is not a storage device, all songs should reside on a computer and you can only sync to one machine. However, if these songs were purchased from iTunes you can reload them (see link). If not, and you have no backup, then they are gone.

  • I synced pictures from my sons computer onto my iphone4 now I can not get them off my phone to save on my computer or delete them off the phone. Any ideas?

    I have been looking everywhere to try and figure this out!

    Do you sync your iPhone to your own computer? I ask because an i-device can be fully synced to only one computer. Therefore, if you normally sync your iPhone to your own computer, syncing to your son's computer just to get some pictures onto your phone probably bollixed things a bit. (And was unnecessary to do just to get pictures onto the phone.)
    Regardless, you should be able to delete individual or small groups of pictures from your iPhone from within the Photos app. Select your Camera Roll, tap the "share" icon in the upper-right corner, select the pictures you want to delete, then tap the DELETE button in the buttom-right.
    Getting those pictures from your iPhone to your own computer should work using the same process you've used in the past to get pictures from your iPhone to your computer. The only caveat is that your iPhone might have been paired with your son's computer when you synced it there, so you might need to re-pair it to your own computer first. You should be asked if you want to do this when you connect your iPhone to your computer using the USB cable.
    You can also easily share pictures from your iPhone to any device (desktop computer or otherwise) with a standard web browser using this app or one like it:

  • Sometimes when i start up Firefox, all my app tabs are missing and i can not get them back unless i physically go do them all again. all my settings are correct as per the trouble shooting pages, but it keeps happening randomly every 1-2 weeks.

    When firefox starts, normally, not after a crash or restore, all the tabs i have pinned as app tabs disappear. I have to go do them all again, and this has happened at least 5-6 times now.

    App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

    It is also possible to use the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting, that is usually a more reliable way to restore session data.
    * [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox/Tools > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
    If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.

  • I have suddenly lost all my reminders in a perticular mail account, how can i get them back on my ipad?

    How did it get disabled?
    Are these apps that you paid for or your school paid for? If they are yours make sure you have entered your AppleID in Settings > iTunes & App Store and download them again. You don't have to pay again.

    Can someone help me with this question?

    The lock indicates your connection to the sever is secure. It is not new and has always been there.
    What is the error message exactly? IIRC it says something about deleting messages and compacting the folder. Have you done that?
