Trouble with connecting to my email servers

Hi,
I just bought my Macbook in March and it's great
But, all of the sudden, my Mail program has been acting up. It won't connect to my email servers on the first try. After about 5 or 6 tries, it will connect.
I get the triangle with the exclamation mark symbol, and when I click that, I get this message:
It isn't my email server, I don't think, because it checks perfectly fine in Outlook on my Windows PC.
It has also worked fine until today.
Thanks in advance for any help!
13" Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2 GHZ Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 80 GB HD

Any difference when deselecting "Use SSL" to turn it off for the incoming mail server which is available under the Advanced tab for the account preferences?

(Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
Let me know if you know why this is happening.

With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
Something you can try:
System Preferences -> Network
Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
Select *Set Service Order...*
Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

Having trouble with connectivity, no internet connection away from home

Having trouble with connectivity, no internet connection away from home, can't check Facebook, weather, scores.......

if you don't have a dataplan and rely on wifi for internet that is how it works
if you do have a dataplan it sounds like it's not set up correctly in which case you should contact your carrier

Trouble with connecting to an App and restoring In App Purchases

I am having trouble with restoring my in app purchases. I had purchased the full season for crazy night out a while back but when I got the app again after restoring the app the full season wasn't on and it is trying to charge me for it. I had also bought the fantasy date app and the multipacks and unlike crazy night out it recognizes I made the purchase but when I click restore purchases or buy pack it won't download and it says can not connect to server and for me to check my settings and try again also for the ones I do have that were free when I click play or download all videos it says it can't connect to servers and the videos don't play. Is there anything I can do to retrieve these purchases back and get the videos to play.
It's not the Internet everything else works.

ftp doesn't work well in modern network environments, and the design of the protocol itself is basically incompatible with the inclusion of firewalls in modern networks. And it transmits the authentication credentials in cleartext.
Put another way, see if ssh and particularly sftp works here (either directly via the sftp command, or via a sftp GUI tool) works for your requirements.
Failing that, [here is ftp set-up information|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/942].
If it's the DNS set-up, then here is some [DNS server set-up information|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436]. And your Mac OS X client will need to have access to the same DNS information your server is using.

Trouble with connection to Airpot Express on new Macbook

Hello my fellow Apple users! I hope one of you can help me. I purchased a new Macbook last week and I love it except I'm having trouble with the connection to my Airport Express. I originally set up the Airport on my old iMac, which is located on the 2nd floor of my house. The Airport is plugged in to the modem on the 1st floor. Since I have a new Macbook, I boxed up the old iMac and put it in a closet on the 2nd floor because I'm not using it anymore.
The weird thing is that my wifi connection works just fine on the 2nd floor but can't find a connection on the 1st floor; where the Airport is plugged in.
So I'm thinking I need to uninstall the Airport on my iMac but I don't know how to do that. Any tips?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Once an Apple AirPort base station is configured it retains no history of the computer that originally configured it. So "uninstalling the AirPort on your iMac" would not accomplish anything useful, even if you could do something that could be described that way.
How is your AirPort Express connected? Is its Ethernet port connected to a broadband modem?

Versamail issue - unable to connect to sbcglobal email servers

I am attempting to access my sbcglobal email account. I believe I have everything set up correctly, but I continue to receive the following error message: "There is a delay in server communication causing a timeout. Please try again." It appears that I am connecting to the mail server successfully, but I don't get any farther than that. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?
Post relates to: Palm TX

I recall SBC/Yahoo DSL recently changed the port settings for their email servers. Check the website and make sure you have the correct ones set in VersaMail.

Network active, unable 2 establish a connection to internet, email, servers

For the last few months, I've had connection issues with my Mac Pro at work. Tech support (pc guys) have been unable to figure out the issue and attribute it to the network.
The ethernet connection is active and it sometimes works. The connections to our shared drive works most of the time. The email (via microsoft exchange server) works 50/50 and the internet browsers have the sketchiest connectivity.
A PC laptop connected to the same port has no issues. Other MAC users in this building are having the same issues but rely on the wireless connection when their ethernet is interrupted. I don't have an airport card on mine.
Other MACs on campus do not have any connectivity issues.
Please help!

It might not be DNS...
My MacPro has recently in the last several months just had period stoppages of Ethernet1.
I've been hassling with network stuff on my internet connection but twice today my MacPro just stopped talking. I can ping somethings but not others and Safari refuses to connect to anything. Email doesn't work etc.
The only thing I can sort of attribute it to and I might try is is that I have both a secure and unsecure network. My virus barrier stuff refused to work through my firewall so I setup the unsecure network on Ethernet2. Since doing that it is sort of like it just gets confused.
If I reboot the MacPro everything comes back alive just fine and when it is stopped if I switch over to my son's MacMini it is fine so I know its not my network or cable modem.
So I don't know if you have both ethernet connections plugged in, in your MacPro but I do and I'm going to try moving the unsecure one to see if the problem gets better.
When the problem happens its very difficult to fix. Only a reboot seems to cure it. I've disabled the Ethernet1 and reenabled it, unplugged, replugged the cable, etc... It just seems to totally die.
Hopefully disconnecting Ethernet2 will do the trick.

Trouble with connecting a gui to a database

I have been trying to follow the connecting a GUI to a Java DB Database with Netbeans IDE tutorial. But when I try to download the GUI BD Exercise Initial (which it states is needed to complete the tutorial) it does not download it. I have looked in the Projects section but it does not appear but when I try to download it again and again it states that it there.
Does anybody know of any other site that has a Tutorial that describes the same thing. Or does any body know the procedure needed at this stage onwards to connect the GUI to a database. I have completed all of the other Tutorials successfully and can get my database connected to netbeans and create tables etc. Just can't connect it to a GUI.
I don't know if there could be a problem because the file is zipped it seems unlikely to me. In any case when I download it nothing shows in the projects section like it should do although I have been able to save it to other parts of my computer hard drive, but when I try to send it the netbeans Myprojects file it is unsuccessful.
I have the URL of the Tutorial that I have had the trouble downloading the file from. http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/gui-database.html
I wonder if any body else has had trouble downloading this link?
Any way I would really appreciate any feedback on this has anybody else had trouble on this tutorial?

I have a MacBookPro, an iPad and an iMac using a wifi connection with an airport extreme base station. Lately I am having trouble with connection time outs. Right now the laptop and ipad are connected okay but the iMac has timed out and I can't reconnect

Please help. Just the last week or so (maybe since Apple released a new software update for my Airport, I keep getting kicked off the net and can't reconnect - it doesn't even show my wifi network in the list of available networks. I am considering resetting the airport as detailed in the manual. If I do this will it act as a new one and can I set it up as from the beginning. My Mac is running OSX 10.6.8 and if I try to use the airport setup assistant it tells me i can't use this version of the app with the version of my OS (because I have upgraded my OS ) I assume
I get a message saying my network requires a WPA password and when I put it in it says connection timeout - meanwhile here I am on my laptop and connecting okay to the net that way - so strange.
If I connect directly to the computer I have a good connection so it is not my ISP
I am 64 and a woman and I thought I was reasonably savvy having had Macs since 1992. This has me stumped and I really would like some advice - otherwise I think I'll just go iout andf buy a new airport.
And just so you know . . . I have a smart TV and it is connecting to the net okay!

The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.

Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

Trouble with connecting to WiFi on hotspots

Only had my playbook tablet for almost month and half.
I had tried to connect to wireless WiFi at various places. And most places you need to have there password. Which they won't give out. I was serious thinking about buying Wireless N USB Adapter for this playbook? And will it work if I do? I already have the Micro dvi cable with the USB support. I need help to connecting WiFi on the go. It's works well at home.
WIFI
IPV6 FE80::426A:ABFF:FE08FFC/64
MAC ADDRESS 40:6A;AB;08F:FC

Hot spots are not always free. When connecting to a Hotspot look for open. Otherwise you need a username and password. As far as I know the usb wifi adapter will not work.

Trouble with connecting with wi fi and cellular

my I-Pad says it cannot connect to the server when in wi fi or cellular although my husband's i-pad is working in both

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
