TS3276 The mail won't send. The activity window shows 2 gmail connections with one indicating a green and the other just sits there unable to connect with spinning wheel.

My Gmail won't send messages. I used the activity doctor to check what was going on and it lists 2 gmail connections. The first seems to be fine with green light. The other just sits there with spinning wheel trying to connect. I'm not sure what that means but it seems to be hanging up my mail from sending. Please help. Bob

For the SMTP, try using Apple Token instead of the password.

TS3276 Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures

My Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures. I get the "whoosh" sound and they show in sent mail, but the recipient doesn't receive them until I take off the signature and resend the email. Without a signature, it is received. It never used to be a problem, but started this past month. Please advise!

Did Earthlink have you try using their authenticated SMTP server?
If not, try changing Earthlink's SMTP server settings to the following:
SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
Server Port: 25 or 587. Assuming Earthlink is your ISP, 25 should work.
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Off or not selected.
Authentication Type: MD5 Challenge-Response. Not sure if this authentication type is available with 10.2 and if not, select Password.
User Name: Your entire Earthlink email address.
Password: The password for your Earthlink email account - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.

In iMovie when I try to share a project to a file on an external hard drive it will work the first time but subsequently it says it is sharing but gives no time and file name and in fact just sits there not sharing the file.

I have iMovie 10.0.4. I want to transfer some old DV tape videos to MPEG 4 files to be stored on a 4 TB external drive. I successfully imported the video to iMovie, created a project by moving all captured files into a project and the first time I shared the project to a file it worked as expected. Every subsequent try to transfer another video would fail to transfer. When I clicked save it gives the warning that it is too big for iCloud, iso I click create on this computer. The progress circle comes up with no indication of progress. The show activity drop down just says sharing to "file" no file name as in the first one and indicates no time remaining. In fact it just sits there apparently doing nothing. I'v tried it a half dozen times, deleted everything and started over. It transfers the first project to file and then nothing on additional tries. What do I have wrong, am I missing something?

In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

Had a gmail acct for email..now it won't send..deleted it, tried to open new one but keep getting imap or other errors..

Activated a gmail account just for the iPhone..it worked for a little while but now it's sketchy..so I deleted it and tried to reopen it and now I'm getting errors on the imap, or the password is incorrect among other things...just want to add an account so I can email picturres and videos but not for any other use. Thanx!

Apple's Mail has a known bug that it deletes your mail passwords sporadically.
Sounds awfully definitive. Has Apple verified this for you?
I will, from time to time, be prompted for a password. I cancel and try again five minutes later. 90% of the time, it works fine the second time. The other 10% of the time, I have to wait for an indeterminate amount of time, sometimes several hours. This indicates, to me, that there was a problem contacting the server. I used to see similar behavior with Eudora years ago before I switched to Mail.
I never have to actually re-enter the password. At no time have my passwords been deleted.
None of this answers your questions, but hey... you come on here and cry "bug" and you're going to get challenged if others aren't seeing a bug.

Unity cluster with one node using name and the other using iP

Hey Guys,
I have two unity connection boxes setup in a cluster, one is know by name and the other by IP address. I'd like to change so that both are using the IP address. The node in the cluster that is using the node name is the publisher. Can I simply go into the cluster settings and change that to an IP address or will that cause big issues.
Thanks,
BR

Hi Brent,
Is there any specific reason why you would want to do this kind of configuration? (Just Curious to know)
I tried doing the same on my Unity Connection cluster (version 8.5(1) SU2 ) in lab.
After making the change in the cluster settings page for the Pub , I did the following :
1)Switch the Primary Role back and forth between the Pub and the Sub : SUCCESS
2)Checked the service status on the pub and sub using "utils service list" : ALL GOOD
3)Rebooted the Pub followed by the Sub and performed test 1 and 2 again : SUCCESS
4)Checked the output of "show cuc cluster status" on the Pub and Sub again: SUCCESS
However, I could not find any document that says this change is really required under any circumstances.
I hope that helps!!!

TS3276 My mail won't send or recieve.

Hi there. When I first got this Mac, it was running fine until this. This has popped up for the past 2-3 weeks, and it's driving me insane. What's happened is that something's screwed up with the server. My mail keeps having those annoying exclamation buttons. I checked the SSL, and it was checked. It now says, "Yahoo! (Offline)", but a second before it said, "Yahoo!". My e-mail on yahoo.com is working fine, but something is screwing up my Mac. Can anyone figure this out for me? Thanks!

Also, the error is port 993.

Outbox mail just sitting there, how do I get it to go?

Lately when I send an email and sometimes it goes and sometimes it just sits there in the outbox for hours.
How do I get it to go when I hit send? I am online and every appears to fine, is there a setting I am overlooking?

Steve,
The problem has been more persistent lately. When it began, I am uncertain, I would say the past few weeks or so. Everything has been working fine until lately. Changes? Tough one to answer, there are always changes/settings made as I am learning everyday. But none to speak of that would affect the way email is sent.
I have checked my settings and have not found anything that should affect email being sent.

Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

I have a brand new iPad newest version. Wifi. The messaging won't send out but I receive messages from others. What is wrong?

I have the newest version of the iPad (3rd generation) with wifi. The messaging won't send out but I'm receiving messages from others when I'm using it. They also come through on my iphone at the same time. But I can't send them out on the iPad. I tried someone's suggestion of changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and that did not work to fix it. What is wrong with this thing? Thank you in advance for your help.

Are you trying to send a message to a cell number or an email address? iPad does MMS, not SMS, meaning it can't send a message to a number. It can send a message to an email address........

I am set up mac mini and when I test the mail server by sending a mail from administrator to administrator I get the error message 'Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused'. Can any one suggest a solution

Thanks. Where could I possibly look for a firewall rule. I knowingly did not creat any. My system has internet coming to a Modem which then is connected to a wireless router. I have computers connecting to the router through cable as well as wireless. One of these computers has been our mailserver using Mercury and Pegasus and that computer has a static IP address. The Mac Mini also has been assigned a different srtatic IP address. I have only set up user account, none of them an email account as I initially expect them to receive only internal mails. Is it necessary that I must set up an email id for each user while setting up the user account. My server id is server.local. So would the email id for local users be [email protected]?

Double check your contacts email, and if its incorrect, go to their contact and change it and save it or you can delete the email you put in, and manually type it in.
Hope this helps.
How would that help the original poster?

On the left, you should have a list of keychains and categories. If not, Select Show Keychains from the View menu.
Select the login keychain and All Items in the Category.
In the search field, type something that will help find your account keychains, like "gmail."
Select the keychain for your email account password and delete it.
