SMTP not working for Mail. Works on iphone and smartermail.

So my SMTP server randomly stopped working today. It claims "Cannot send message using the server.. The server "smtp.xxxx.xxx" cannot be contacted on the deafault ports"
I have tried deleting the SMTP server, quitting mail, reopening mail, re-setting up the server and but haven't had any results.
I can still send mail on my iphone and I can still send mail using SmarterMail (webmail.xxxx.xxx) using this same smtp address.

We are having the exact problem with our smtp outgoing mail too for the last couple of days. Each and every time we attempt to send outgoing mail, we get an error that the server is not available. IF we select "try again later," sometimes we will discover that the email doe sin fact get sent...eventually...but not always.
The problem actually started about a week ago when mail would periodically not send. Now the OSX 10.5.8 mail app shows all of our outgoing servers as being offline. Settings have been double and triple checked, changed to custom port, non-SSl, with SSL, automatic, re-input passwords, rebuilt mailboxes. Nothing so far as worked. Even went to AOL's website and did the image verification as a last resort, but nada.
We can send using webmail, just not from within the OSX email app. We're thinking about switching over to Entourage that is part of Office 2008, which we have. This can not go on since we rely on email for both work and personal communications.
As an aside, I'm not sure if I can send email using my ipod touch hooked to wifi...will try to see if problem is replicated there, as in theory it should be.
WHy doesn't Apple step up and contribute to this discussion? This appears to be a problem that has occurred in the past with updates,t oo.

Yahoo mail not working on iPhone and iPad

My yahoo mail on my iPhone and iPad has not been working since Wednesday, Sept 7th. I deleted and re-added the account and it did not make a difference. Anyone else having this problem?

Talk to Yahoo. They have been having seeming massive problems with their mail system communicating with mobile devices if these forums are any indication. You can try removing and re-adding the account, but odds are this is not a problem with your phone, it is a problem with Yahoo.

Reminders not working on iPhone and iPad, but are on MacBook Pro

My reminders on my MacBook Pro are showing up 24 hours in advance of the set time for that reminder, but they are not showing up on my iPad 3 and iPhone 5. I have to power the iPad and iPhone off for the reminders to show up in the notification center. Does anyone know what's going on or how to fix this?

Hi Bartman27p229,
If your Reminders are not appearing on your iPad 3 and iPhone 5 automatically in notification center, here is an article of troubleshooting steps by device:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Reminders and Tasks
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4000
You may also want to verify that Notification Center is set up as you would like for Reminders:
iOS: Understanding Notifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3576
Step 4 of Troubleshooting Notifications explains:
Check Settings > Notifications to ensure that the app is configured for notifications.
If notifications do not appear only in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
Cheers!

Has Adobe and Apple had any meaningful discussions on Flash Player not working on iPhone and iPad?

Several applications I try to use on my iPhone and iPad says, "Apple restricts use of technologies required by products like Adobe Flash Player. Until Apple eliminates their restrictions, Adobe cannot provide Flas Player for the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. It would be nice if Adobe and Apple would solve their issues so we can use Adobe Flash Player.

Yeah, it's probably not a driver thing. If you haven't rebooted already, definitely do that. It might just be that the graphics hardware is in a bad state.
The last thing we shipped was December 9th, so it's not like Flash Player changed. If these symptoms just started recently, it seems unlikely that a recent change to Flash is the root-cause. It's possible that Chrome might have pushed a change since then, but I talked to the Chrome guys yesterday and they didn't mention anything about a widespread video playback problem. They have really excellent telemetry, so they usually know pretty quickly when things break.
It might be that your Chrome install is somehow damaged, and you could do a complete uninstall/reinstall of Chrome to see if the issue goes away. You can also disable hardware acceleration in Chrome itself (it's under Preferences > Advanced > System > Use hardware acceleration if available) to see if that helps.
Is the issue isolated to a specific video or video site/sites? Does it happen in either Internet Explorer or Firefox (they're both significantly different copies of Flash Player, which would be an interesting data point)?

TS3989 iCloud photo stream not working between iPhone and iPad

The photo stream from my iPhone is not streaming via iCloud to my iPad photos. Both have the correct settings: iCloud enabled and turned on, and within iPloud setting both have photo stream turned on. I have purchased additional iCloud space and that's certainly not the problem.
IPhone 4S: IOS 6.1.3
IPad: IOS 5.1
I would appreciate any help.

Hand off not working on iPhone 5

Hi there SZkiyani,
You may need to verify that Bluetooth is enabled on the devices as well. Take a look at the aritlce below for more information.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
Use Handoff with Apple apps such as Mail, Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Maps, Messages, Reminders, Calendar, Contacts. You can also use Handoff with some third-party apps. Start a document, email, or message on one device and pick up where you left off on another device.
To use Handoff:
On both devices, you'll need to turn on Bluetooth and sign in to the same iCloud account.
Use one of the apps listed above on one of your devices.

How do I get mail on my iPhone and computer to sync automatically, so e.g. messages read on one appear read on both? I am working in VN and the microsoft access server is in the USA.

How do I get mail on my iPhone and computer to sync automatically, so e.g. messages read on one appear read on both? I am working in VN and the microsoft access server is in the USA.

If you created as an Exchange account on the iPhone (not IMAP or POP) and you have Push on it should all work smoothly; Reading a message on either client should mark the other read (it does on mine). Try deleting the account from the phone, rebooting the phone (to clear out old settings), then go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, add an account and tap Microsoft Exchange and add the account back.
There is a fundamental difference between BB and iPhone that you should be aware of; on the BB you do not sync directly with Exchange; you sync with the RIM server which then syncs with your Exchange server. The iPhone syncs directly with Exchange using Microsoft's ActiveSync protocol. So in some ways they will behave differently. But ActiveSync should manage marking messages as read correctly.

Appletv remote app and airplay not working with iphone 4S

I have the latest appleTV. I have the remote app loaded onto my ipad3 and iphone 4S. The app is not working with iphone 4S, nor do I get the airplay icon, hence I can't mirrior my phone on appleTV. It used to work. I have deleted and reloaded the app, and still nothing. It worked fined until a month ago or so. I have enabled home sharing.
The app and airlplay are working just fine with the ipad3. I have the ipad and appleTV hooked up to my router using 5Ghz, and the iphone only connects to the 2Ghz network on the same router. I don't think this is the issue, because it worked before.
Also, when I click on the remote app on the iphone, to add an itunes library, a code pops up on the phone, which I enter into itunes on my Win7 PC. Nothing seems happed on the computer when I enter the code. Could this have anything to do with recent appleTV or itunes updates? Any possible solutions?

It seems like I am having the same problem.
I have the latest AppleTV 1080, imac 27", ipad, ipad2, 2 iphone 4, all with the latest iOS. After I have the AppleTV connected, a few problems showed up:
(1) ipad plus iphones cannot airplay photo to AppleTV. After the play button and the grey screen displayed "the playing msg on AppleTV", nothing happened. it is the same for ipad/iphone.
(2) iMac not Airplay to AppleTV
(3) Airplay Mirroring not working
The following are done:
- Home sharing enabled
- To test the devices are connected. I set a passowrd for Airplay and the ipad/iphone both requested for it so they are network and devices are ok
