TS4002 Manually changing settings for Mail after iCloud switch?
I'm using Mail for Mac (ver 4.5) with OS X.6.8 at home and am suddenly NOT able to check mail. Should I have to change mail settings once I am switched over to iCloud??

Yes
Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

After downloading IOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 5, my email messages are not coming through automatically. Before, my email messages would come through automatically and my iPhone would alert me each time an emial message was recevied. I now have to open my mail in-box and wait for my email messages to download. Do I need to reset or change my mail settings? This issue is delaying my abiliy to receive and respond to email messages in a timely manner.
Please Help.
JesseHi Chris. Thanks, for the suggestions re: my email issues. They were helpful and yes I did check all items you referenced. I even contacted Apple support and spent about 40 minutes on phone checking all settings. However, after all these efforts, my mail and calendar issues were not resolved. Apple Support finally recommended deleting the mail account and then reloading it - and it worked! I am now receiving my emails and calendar appts. in real time again.
Just wanted to share this in case anyone elest has a similar problem with mail/calendar after downloaing i.O.S. 8.1 onto iPhone 5.
Thanks, again.

TS4002 Trouble changing from Yahoo mail to iCloud mail
I use yahoo mail on macbook pro.. As the mail was repeatedly asking me to check my account password, i considered switching to iCloud mail with @me.com address. I set up the icloud mail account and was able to send and recieve mail from the icloud account. I was also able to forward the new inbox mail from yahoo to icloud.
However , i am unable to transfer my mail (roughly 400) in my Yahoo inbox to icloud inbox.
I tried selecting all the mails in Yahoo inbox and attempted Moving as well as Copying them to iCloud inbox. Both did not work.
Only a couple of mails (around 10) got transferred and nothing was happening. No error message is also shown.
When i tried to restart the mac, the mail does not shut down and after forcequitting it , a message popped up saying that the 390 mails could not be transferred.
Can any body help me with this....You need to be more patient, you are moving your emails over the internet, it takes a while. Do it again and don't interrupt it this time.

My iPhone is downloading an odd email here and there that doesn't appear on my iMac mail at work.Just read an email on my iPhone that I received at 6.00 this morning.checked my iPhone settings for mail,delete after download is off so not sure whats wrong.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
No.
If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html. -
Since upgrading Iphone to iOS 5.1.1 it does not automatically divert to my wi-fi internet when wifi is available in my home. It has been draining my mobile data I now have very high bills from my mobile carrier for high data usage. I can only manually change settings in the Network and turn cellular data on and off everytime I get home and leave the home. This is very frustrating as it wasn't a problem until the upgrade. I have spoken to a few people that this has happened to. Has anyone found this problem and does anyone have other solutions?
Please disregard this question. I'll submit a shorter and more direct question. Thanks.

I just put Facetime on my MacBook and Ipad. I can connect and recieve video but no sound. The other person can hear me. If I use Skype everything works fine. I can't find any where in Facetime to change settings for the audio. Any suggestions
Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If recovery does not work there's:
DFU mode: http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/04/ipad-dfu-mode/

without changing settings, iMac mail V4.6, 1)will not save password 2)takes accounts offline 3)will not except password 4)will not send mail from accounts every time.
What happen? How do I correct this?Hi Nuch1,
I found an article that is contains very thorough Mail troubleshooting steps:
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
You can use that article to figure out what part of the email "ecosystem" is the cause of the issue, and it can also help you attempt to resolve it.
Hope that helps,

My problem is my Macbookpro mid 2010 with OSX 10.7.5 seems to turn off or logs off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?
I had this problem on an IMac and I finally found a solution in an unlikely place. The problem was a security setting. I don't remember right this moment the exact setting and I am not on that machine right now but when I am I will try to retrace my steps to the fix. In the meantime check your security settings and any browser or browser extensions for computer log off settings. These settings are intended to prevent unauthorized use and incidentally screw up your backups. Hope this helps.

Smtp settings for mail send needed after transition mobileme - iCloud
Hi,
I have transitioned our mail accountfrom mobilme to iCloud in July. Sending and receiving mail worked flawlessly until yesterday. As of today I cannot send mail. It indicates that my account is "offline". Can someone please remind me how to set our email account settings for sending?
Thanks!pvonk wrote:
You have probably been using the same email "account" in the mail app as was used to connect to MobileMe (I'm surprised you've lasted as long as you did). In Settings>Mail, Contacts..., go to the Account section and delete the account you've been using. Then create a new icloud account using the same account ID. That will properly connect to icloud and get all your emails back.
Not on Snow Leopard it won't, the account must be entered manually (using the settings provided). Your advice would be true if this were Lion or Mountain Lion but Snow Leopard will attempt to set it up as if it were Mobile Me. -

Help with Preference pane DNS settings for Mail
I have a mail (not Apple Mail) issue with my Entourage Mail. I keep getting
the following error message and I have verified the server settings in my
mail accounts are correct for ATT that uses pop.att.yahoo.com. I manage to
get mail most of the time but I still get the following error message:
Error Description
Error:
Entourage cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct.
Explanation:
Could not retrieve mail
Error: -1370
My System Preferences/Network/Advanced/DNS point to my 2wire Gateway combo
modem/router. The router is set for Automatic DNS. I tried changing it to manual
and it did not works any better.
If I change the DNS setting in the preference pane in OS X, will it really use that
DMS address and bypass the router?
I played around with the namebench utility
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/32784/namebench and each time you
run it, namebench makes a better recommendation - saying something is faster
than the previous recommendation.
I am lost on what I need to do correct the Network pane of my System Preferences.
Should it point to the router or to good DNS?
I do not think this is a Microsoft Entourage issue.
Have others seen this issue or is unique to my setup.Going to sleep on and see how it works in the morning.
The problem is solved and I have checked the Yes button that my
question has been answered. The following is a copy of a posting
two days ago to the Microsoft Entourage group that should work
just as well for Mail users.
If you are tied of getting the following Entourage error
message -3170 over and over again, read on.
Error:
Entourage cannot find the server. Verify the server information
entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS
settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct.
Explanation:
Could not retrieve mail
Error –3170
Thanks to a tip from Diane Ross I have gone two days without
getting the error message.
First, I know the Account Settings for my ATT DSL service
have been correct for some time and have not changed.
The short version of the fix that worked for was to open
the OS X 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard) System Preferences/
Network/Advanced/DNS panel and add some better Domain
Name Servers from my location.
The default (or before) OS X setting was:
DNS Servers: Search Domains:
192.168.1.254 gateway.2wire.com
Note both were dimmed. The server listed tells OS X to use
the ATT provided combo 2wire modem/router for my DSL service.
The change that seem to have worked for me was to leave the
Search Domain the same; however, I added some good servers that
bypass the 2wire gateway with its automatic DNS setting.
DNS Servers: Search Domains:
208.67.220.220 gateway.2wire.com
208.67.220.222
65.68.49.51
192.168.1.254
I found the ‘good’ or better DNS Servers by making several runs
using the free Google utility called namebench 1.2
<http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/32784/namebench>
This utility takes some time and will make suggestions from your
location. If you add the namebench recommendation and run it
again it will find a better recommendation. I had to make several
runs to find the better DNS Servers for my location. The first or
primary is called OpenDNS, the second is a backup for the OpenDNS
and the third is SBC Global TX now owned by ATT and I live in
Texas. Note I ended with the default IP address.
FYI, I tied using the selected servers in the 2wire gateway in the
manual mode rather than the default automatic mode and it just
did not work right. Some pages would not open and others were
slow. For this reason I run the router in the automatic mode for
DNS and control things using the OS X Network preference pane.
The addition of preferred DNS Servers in my Preference seems
to have slowed down and hopefully stopped Entourage 2008
version 12.2.4 -3170 error messages.

How to change settings for all users?
Hi All,
In cPro we have User Settings button. On clicking that we get a Tabstrip where you will find "User" tab.
my question is: How can we change the default settings for all users e.g setting the checkbox "Scheduling only manually" to true ?
Best Regards,
Arti.Hi Arti,
In cProjects the authorizations can be managed either by authorization profile administration by system administrator for General authorizations or by Project specific authorizations for individual cProjects elements by Project owner.
Try the first one and I hope you will get the solution.
Regards,
Nishit Jani

When I go into Tools, Options, Privacy and set 'Use custom settings for history' and then click okay it will not save. It stays on 'Remember history', though it will save 'Never remember history' as I tested this. This seems to have happened after recent Firefox latest update. Does anyone know why I can't choose 'Use custom settings for history' as this is the setting I want to use?
It's not that I'm not satisfied with the current settings, it's just that I'm one of those curious people - wanting to know why suddenly I couldn't change my history setting when I could always chop and change it before to a setting of my choice. I noticed this has happened since recently updating to Firefox 6. When things like this just happen I always search for a reason. Anyway, it sounds as though I am a bit of a novice on Firefox compared to yourself, and if you recommend that it's probably best to stay on Remember History and it's not likely to cause any problems, then say no more, I shall accept your advice. Any more tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
