TS3276 I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and Mail is having a problem. It won't remember my password for getting mail; but it does remember the password for sending mail, i.e., smtp. Does anyone know of a fix?

I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and Mail is having a problem. It won't remember my password for getting mail; but it does remember the password for sending mail, i.e., smtp. Does anyone know of a fix?

The solution surprised even me, and we've been using Macs since 1984 (still have an original 128K).
I contacted Apple support, and because we had just upgraded yesterday, clicked on the "exception" button as opposed to paying the $19.99 one-time support fee. An Apple tech called and the problem was solved in two minutes.
Somehow during the installation of OS 10.8.2 (over 10.6.x) the key chain data for my email ISP login password got corrupted. The solution was to delete both the POP mail and SMTP entries in my keychain.
Back to Mail, it asked for the POP password, I entered it and bingo, mail got busy downloading. Interestingly, the password was also entered into the SMTP panel.
So, that's it. Thanks for you response, Mr. Hoffman, and regards.

  • I just downloaded iOS 6 to my iPhone 4 and all-of-sudden, the camera on the back of my phone isn't working.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    The SMS links thing is highly annoying. You don't have to copy/paste however. You should see an icon like this: (>) to the right of the text bubble with the link. Tap on that, the in the screen that opens, tap "Visit".
    Alternatively, you can tap twice directly on the link, then hold your finger down after the second tap.
    Still unnecessarily difficult, but not as bad as copy/paste.
    What I don't get is why can't I find any mention of this change or how to fix it (if even possible) elsewhere online?

  • I have just upgraded from CS 6 (Dreamweaver) and now when I click on a picture on a web page in Dreamweaver it doesn't go to the folder where the photo is stored anymore.  If this continues I'll have to go back to CS 6 as I have to put in alot of photos.

    You've done great so far to upgrade to Leopard & install more RAM. Now install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    After you install the 10.5.8 update, click on the Apple in the menu & select Software Update. You will then be informed of some application updates. iTunes may be one of them. Then click to install the app updates.

  • HT1414 I just upgraded to an iPhone 5S and it is going haywire whenever I use it. Is there a way to resolve this without returning the phone?

    I just upgraded to an iPhone 5S and it is going haywire whenever I use it. It will randomly open applications, send emails suddenly before I am finished writing them, and much more. Is there a way to resolve this without returning the phone?

    Hi, jbgatch. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Our iOS devices use a capacitive touch screen and with it being winter in most places, a buildup of static electricity can cause the touch screen to act erratic.  Start with closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device.  If using a screen protector, remove it and test without it installed.  Some cases that include a screen protector can cause this issue as well.  Try the remainder of the steps in the attached article below.  If the issue persists, a restore as new may been needed.  Make sure to backup your data prior to a restore.

  • Can't get my iPhoto albums to download the whole album.  Only syncing partial albums.  Anyone know a trick to get it all synced?

    Can't get my new iphone 4s to download my iphoto albums.  They are only downloading a few pictures in each.  Anyone know why?  Or how to get the whole file downloaded?

    What exactly is the material you have? What does item properties say about it? If it's too small you'll have to scale it up, but if you scale it up a lot it's going to get soft and pixely.

    Hello, Chryslers6.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are wanting to update your iPhone 5c via the over-the-air option.  You will need to be connected to power and a Wi-Fi source to use this option.  You should be able to do this while being connected to any Wi-Fi network.  You also have the option to update via iTunes.  The article below will walk you through the process of updating your iPhone.

  • Unfortunately, the process com.sec.ims.android has stopped.  Anyone know how to fix this??

    I have a Galaxy Note 4.
    Occasionally i get this message and i cant receive or make phone calls or texts.  I have to restart my phone most of the time and it will work.  Sometimes i have to restart it multiple times to get it to work.
    Also i get a message saying my sim card is unreadable and am forced to restart my phone.  This will happen repeatedly at a time. (happened 17 times in a row last week... had to keep restarting it and removing/replacing the sim card until it finally worked.  then it happened again later).

        This is not normal McGibblez! Let's get some more clues to explore options to resolve! When did this issue start? Do you recall if it started after installation/update of a particular application or software? Same questions for the SIM card issue, also have you had the SIM card replaced?

  • Just Installed Firefox 6.0.2 And I'm Having Many Problems On Some Web Sites When Using Firefox:

    -When I click on a picture on some sites it will go to the next page with a large view of the picture and then when I go back one page to do the same with another picture (or even the same picture) nothing happens.
    -Videos don't show up or on some sites the videos do show up and work but you can't make them full screen. (YouTube works fine).
    -Sometimes I have to click "Reload" to get my saved codes to show up.
    -It won't let me log onto some sites unless I right click where it says "sign in" and click "open link in new tab".
    -In some Forums the tool bars, smileys, etc. don't work when using Firefox or IE9 and they worked before with IE9.
    -Some of my letters when viewed with IE9 are now in some kind of code (maybe html?).
    I never had these problems before when using IE9 alone!
    Java was updated before I installed Firefox and I installed the Adobe Flash Player 10 plugin right after installing Firefox. My OS is Windows 7 64-bit.
    Please Help. Thank You

    2. Locate the profile called "Onavo"
    3. Tap Remove
    4. Go back to your home screen and delete the Onavo Extend icon

    The Quicken issue has been a hot topic in the Quicken forum as well as many others.  Intuit did not provided an updated Quicken when Lion came out.  I believe that within the past month Intuit has announced a version that does work in Lion, I looked into it, but was not impressed; there were some technical issues that prevent me from using it (don't recall the details though).  Fortunately, I found out about the Quicken mess when Lion came out, and like many users, migrated the quicken data files over to a common format that could be imported into a number of new financial apps like iBank.  Intuit lost a lot of Mac users over this.
    As for Excel and Word, you have to buy Microsoft's newest version of Office on Mac to be compatible.

    Re: iTunes has stopped working. Why? 
    Sep 11, 2013 6:07 AM (in response to thurdy)
    Resolved!
    After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    And that did the trick.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings If yu can see the screen enough to do it)
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem.
