Suddenly my .mac/.me email will not load on my macbook

suddenly my .mac/.me email will not load on my macbook. got err messages requesting my pasword and added password and nothing has loaded.

Your signature says you are using 10.5.6 - is this correct. Leopard is not compliant with iCloud's requirements.
You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

You may also need to change your pasasword if it's not compliant with Apple's requirements - at least 8 characters, of which at least one must be a numeeral and one a capital letter.

My icloud email will not load

Hi!
My icloud email will not load.
     On any computer, Mac or PC at the icloud.com it will not load and sends an error message to apple.
     On my Mac it states that my password or email address is incorrect. This is not true as I have changed it and all other apple accounts work.
     On my iPhone it states my password is incorrect--it is not, again I have checked and re-entered it numerous times.
I have checked and done all the troubleshooting I can find.
I have checked all the communities and it seems some others are experiencing this same problem.
I have called apple support and (of course) they want me to pay for someone to help me--which I would do if this was an issue with my hardware or software.
I have an appointment today with the genius bar at my local store.
I believe this is an apple icloud server issue.
I would not be posting if this had not been happening since Christmas day. It has been over a week since I have been able to retrieve my email.
If anyone can help that would be wonderful, but please do not refer me to the troubleshooting pages as I have researched them extensively.
Thank you!

This same thing started for me today as well: None of my devices (iMac, MacBook 2 iPhones, iPad, 2 Apple TV's) which require Apple ID to work for mail, etc., would work this morning. I kept getting a message that my password or email address was incorrect. I was also notified my Apple ID password had "a security problem" and needed to be changed.
I was reluctant to change the password with my Apple ID, since I have been using it for nearly ten years, and will clearly never forget it. However, this old password only has six characters, all lower case. Apple now seems to want a password with at least eight characters, one of which is capitalized, etc. I went ahead and changed to a new 2012-model password, following Apple's guidelines, and voila, once I changed to that password on all of my devices they all work as they should!
What the heck? I guess I didn't have anything better to do between 10:00 and 11:00 am today anyway. While this seems like the right fix, I would have preferred it if Apple had sent out an advance notification that they are requiring more rigorous passwords, rather than just rejecting our old ones as a New Year's present. It would have saved some head scratching.

Reply Emails will not load

The following problem has appeared on my system in the last few days.
Symptoms:
I receive an email that has been sent to a group of people, all on the main recipients list as opposed to cc's or bcc's. This first email behaves perfectly.
Then one of the addressees replies to the same group. My copy of the reply email will not load in mail.app. Instead I get a spinning gear wheel (with a "loading..." message) that changes to a spinning beach ball and "mail" just hangs - requiring a forced quit to get the application working again.
At first I thought that the response email must have contained something that was contaminating the process but I've had the symtoms repeated for several emails that were distributed to different groups. Its always the same, the first email behaves as expected but the responses will not load.
These emails sent within groups have always behaved perfectly in the past so the suspicion is that there is something amiss in my system.
The first culprit email came from my website. I looked at the guilty email on the server and it looked normal.
To test the path I forwarded one of the emails that was causing a problem to my isp email(comcast) and tried to download it. I got the same problem, it will not load when it gets on my system.
What I've Tried to Resolve it:
I searched the discussions and found a suggestion to rebuild permissions and the trash the mail cache in the library. I followed the instructions but it had no effect.
One Additional Note:
I upgraded to 10.5.6 and I know that this problem was not present before the upgrade.
Any suggestions as to the cause of the problem and rectifications would be much appreciated.
Thanks

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Content of old emails will not load after Yosemite upgrade

I recently installed Yosemite. All my old emails are still there, listed under the 'Sort by date' column, with sender, subject and the first few words showing. but the content will not load. New emails are downloading and content showing fine. I have played around with all the settings in Mail Preferences Viewing — download remote content etc — but nothing seems to work. I have also run "Verify Permissions", with no luck. If I search for something through the Finder, and what I am searching for appears in an email, I can pull up the email that way and all the content loads fine. So the content is all there. It is just not showing up through Apple Mail. Any ideas?

Check the Ask before closing setting in the Terminal preferences dialog.

Mac App Store Will Not Load At All

Hello all,
I just received my new MacBook Pro a few days ago, and after booting it the first time upgraded to the most recent Mac OS X (10.6). This of course installed the Mac App Store.
The Mac App Store will open but will not load - period. It will not allow me to sign in, just always says loading and it never actually does (it does occasionally say that the store is unable to process my request, and to try again later).
At any rate, it's been several days now, and I'm getting quite frustrated. I've removed the program and reinstalled the 10.6 upgrade just to see if that would help, and it didn't. The Mac App Store simply won't do anything except listing "Loading" indefinitely.
Any help that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Yesterday i performed all updates available for my macbook pro, and now i have a few problems:
- I cannot open my "mac app store", when i try to start the application the sign "moves" a couple of times in my dock, but it wont open. (thereafter the sign disappears since i don't have a shortcut on my dock). I tried to enter those lines in the terminal, this didn't help.
- Also when i want to open some documents (pdf's, jpg's & exel files) preview & exel have the same problem, they just don't open. however, when i start the program myself i can open the documents (via archive) without a problem?!
i hope you guys & gals can help me!
Mvg,
Hayovdg
PS: sorry for my english, i'm not a native speaker.

Help! New to Mac! Pictures will not load on Safari (blue question marks)

Sometimes when I surf the web (especially sites like Facebook.com), pictures will not load. They turn into little blue check marks. Eventually, none of the pictures on the webpage will load. I have to shut down Safari, reboot my computer, and then pictures load again for a little while. Any advice? Please help!

... you may have something slowing your connection if you are wireless...I get this from time to time and believe that it is generally a connection speed issue related to interference or distance from my airport. The signal is usually great, but drops off from time to time.

AHT will not load on my MacBook Pro

I've no DVD only Internet for OSX Lion Installing. I'm conect to Internet, push D and turn on, the AHT will not Load(working)
Can Anybody hep me? I've bought this Comp used.
THX a Lot

If this is indeed a Feb 2011 system, you have an interesting issue.
Those systems should have come with SL instead of Lion. The seller installed Lion that he/she paid for.
But according to license agreements for Lion, the unit was supposed to have been restored to Feb 2011 OSX and the disks provided.
You cannot run Lion that another person bought, and should not have paid their "upgrade expenses" to Lion as it is not yours.
But, legalities aside ...
There is advantage to having those gray install disks. Those disks have hardware-specifc drivers and AHT for your specific unit.
I would ask the seller, regardless of your success with the other thread.
If the seller does not have them to give, you can call Apple and give them the serial number and a fee ($16 per disk, I think I saw).
But this could be quite a mess for you on "legal OSX".

Some movie DVD's will not load on my MacBook

I have several movies that will not load or be read by the DVD drive. I insert the DVD it spins then ejects. Other older DVD's play just fine. I'm quite baffled by this as I can't seem to identify any common denominator other than it occurs more often with newer DVD's.

If iDVD is crashing at launch try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch IDVD and try again.

I just got my macbook pro and i was trying to set up my optimum email. It wasnt working in the mail setup on my mac so i tried to log onto the optimum online site to make sure it was the right logon and password.

My excite email will not load with last upgrades of firefox & microsoft

the feald that said my kaspersky fire wall was incompatable with new curant version of firefox was pushed by accedent now email only loads to 67 % then locks up [email protected] is my email page ido not how to do thease type of things

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server. Any difference? If not...
2. Clear Firefox's Cache Completely
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
3. If needed, remove your live.com cookies in this dialog (save any work-in-progress first)
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
