Upgraded (?) to U-verse. Thunderbird accounts no longer connect/read mail. Help.

Thunderbird was working with multiple email accounts until I got upgraded (ha) to U-verse from ATT. I can no longer connect to the various imap servers or get my mail. I have reviewed all my settings and checked them against the various documentation online for each account. Help?

Here's all the info you requested. Thanks.

Since upgrading to OS7 my iphone 4 no longer connects to my bluetooth...pls help.

Hello,
Since I upgraded to OS 7.0.3, the bluetooth earpiece I use will no longer connect. Is there a fix for this? I have tried turning it off, removing it, reinstalling the bluetooth, nothing works. Any ideas?

Hello Kate,
It sounds like you are having trouble with Bluetooth on your iPhone 4. I recommend reviewing the following article for the issue you described:

One POP account no longer collecting new mail

I'm having a very strange problem with Mail 3.6 on my MacBook2,1 running OS 10.5.8. I currently have three POP account set up to be automatically checked every 15 minutes. I have not changed settings for any of them in over a year. Yesterday around noon one of them stopped receiving new mail (the other two continue to work just fine). My iPhone, on which I have not changed any settings either, contines to collect mail from all three accounts (and does not remove mail from the server). I can log into the web interface for the account (it is an old university account), and mail that I have received since noon yesterday is there, all the same stuff as I've been receiving on my phone, but which does not appear in Mail. The weirdest thing about this this is that there is no error: Mail reports that it is successfully connecting to and logging into the server--Connection Doctor gives the account a green light. Yet I know that there is uncollected mail on the server. Any suggestions about what could be going wrong will be most appreciated.
Many thanks,
PJW

Hi Neville, thanks for the suggestion. I had not tried anything like this. Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem: I just got duplicate copies of all the emails on the problematic server up to the point at which they stopped downloading yesterday.
I should add that I have, of course, rebooted everything multiple times. I also ran the "Rebuild" command from the Mailbox menu--just out of desparation, not totally clear about what it does. All to no avail.
Can anyone think of anything else to try before contacting the tech people responsible for the server (who I expect will not be excited about helping an alumnus in another country, running an older Mac, experiencing a very weird problem).

10.4.7 - can no longer connect to mail server (SSL)

After installing 10.4.7 I can no longer connect to my mail server.
My mail server uses SSL on port 993 - but when I look at the error message when mail tries to connect I get the following:
"There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account <accountname> or try again.
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server <servername> on port 0 timed out."
Why is it trying to connect on port 0?

Found the solution in MacFixIt - unchecking the SOCKS proxy fixes the problem.

IPad no longer connecting to mail

My iPad mail app is no longer connecting to my iCloud mail account.
It connects fine to gmail (through the mail app) so I know it's working!
I've tried deleting iCloud, rebooting the iPad and reinstalling iCloud but no joy.
Any ideas please?

Just spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support.
The first contact was useless - reading from a script, couldn't think past the script. She wanted to reset the iPhone and iPad - which I refused to do - too many problems with subscritions afterwards.
She bounced me to a Supervisor - while I was on hold, I created a new iCloud account and set it up on my iPhone - it worked without problems. The Supervisor immediately recognized that meant the issue was on their end, not on my iPhone or iPad. He put the account in "troubleshooting mode" - took it out of "troubleshooting mode" - put it back in "troubleshooting mode" - no sucess. He then put me on hold to contact their Engineers.
While on hold this time - I went to iCloud.com - logged into the troubled account - created a rule to bounce all incoming email from the troubled account to the account I just set up and now all my email is coming into the second account!
Supervisor gets back on the line - I tell him what I did. He said at least that's a work around for now. They were going to investigate more - should get back to me in 4 - 24 hours. Until then my work around is working. I've tested it multiple times from different email accounts - it's bouncing email to where it should be.
Turned off Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, etc on the second account - just left Mail on. Also left the troubled account up and running on my iPhone so I can see when it / if it starts working again. Turned off the troubled accounts Mail on the iPad though.
As a note - I am a LEGACY Mac.com subscriber. I have gone from Mac.com to MobileMe to iCloud now. I noticed through all of this that suddenly my login info on my iOS devices has swithced from [email protected] to [email protected] I pointed that out to the Supervisor - he thought that might have something to do with it.
Are the rest of you that are having problems also old Mac.com users?

Client Upgraded from Tiger to Leopard Can No Longer Connect to Tiger Server

I just finished upgrading a G5 2GHz DP Powermac from Tiger to Leopard. This was an Archive and Install upgrade with importing the old settings. After verifying the account migration, including .Mac connectivity, and fixing all 3rd party software compatibilities/upgrades, I tried to connect to our Tiger 4.11 server by clicking on the server's Icon in the Shared section of the Finder Sidebar. The finder then switches to browse the the server for shares: "Connecting..." is displayed under the tool bar, with a "Share Screen..." and "Connect As..." buttons to the right.
At this point the "Connecting..." remains displayed with the spinning circle in the bottom right of the Finder window.... spinning. This situation continues for several minutes until is seems the system gives up.
If I click on the Path button on the Tool Bar, and go up to the Shared level, ALL the Shares on the Network are displayed, including all the Tiger Client machine shares. I can click on the triangle beside the Tiger Client's icon, and all the drives and home directories on the Mac are listed. All the client shares can be accessed without any issues. NOTE: There are no other Leopard clients on the LAN.
Prior to the Leopard upgrade, this client could connect to the Tiger server as well. All the other clients on the LAN can access the Tiger server also.
On the Leopard client I have tried clicking and the "Connect As..." button and using the menu "Connect to Server" and specifying the server's IP, and I get the same "Connecting..." message with a "non-connecting" result.
I can only assume that somehow the Account Name and password are not being passed correctly. But, using "Connect As..." should resolve that. However, "Connect As..." does not give me a user/password window!
If I check the AFP Access log on the Server, the only messages displayed are "Mounted Volume..." No messages in the error log, and no messages in the "Connections" section.
Can anyone help me figure out why the Leopard client can not connect to the Tiger Server?
My apologies if the description of my problem is a bit disjointed. I have been thrown into server admin and am learning "Trial by Fire".
Any help or suggestions on how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gary

OK. A quick update.
After waiting for about 10 minutes for the rotating circle in the bottom right corner to stop, I was able to click on the "Connect As..." button. It took another 10 minutes, but the Connect As window eventual popped up. I entered the Userid and Password (saving to Keychain) and was able to see all the sharepoints on the the server. I browsed all the connected drives and folders without issue.
I then disconnected from the server. Reviewing the AFP logs on the server shows messages for the connection Login and Logout.
I then tried to reconnect to the server, and again another 10 minutes wait, although this time the Leopard client eventually connected automatically with the proper User, as per the AFP logs confirms.
Although, the client can now connect to the server, for it to take 10 minutes will be unacceptable to management, not to mention the end user. Tiger clients can connect in a couple seconds!
Is there a way to reduce the Leopard login time to, say, a couple seconds, like it does with the Tiger clients?
Again, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gary

Active Directory accounts no longer connect to Server

I administrate a small office network.
We have a Windows 2000 Server with active directory and a Windows 2003 Storage Server Appliance. (From Iomega)
After upgrading to 10.4.8 (it seems), our Mac integrated to the Active Directory has had problems connecting to the storage server.
When attempt to connect to smb://storage (the 2003 server appliance) we get a Error code -36 -- could not be read or written.
This only happens when logged into an AD account. Local accounts on the machine access the server as normal.
Also of note, the AD accounts have no problems accessing shares on the 2000 server.
Any ideas why this is only effecting AD accounts and a solution?

There are a couple of things you can check...
1. Check to make sure that the SMB signing option is disabled for the Windows 2003 Storage appliance. This can be done in the local group policy on the Server.
2. If it is a storage appliance, you should be able to run Microsoft's Services for Macintosh. This would give you AFP on the file server - a potential way to eliminate the need for using SMB on the Macs.
3. Use a 3rd party software on the Windows 2003 Storace Server called ExtremeZ-IP by Group Logic. It is a full featured AFP/IP file server for Windows (replacing SFM). We have an HP DL380 NAS device on our network (running Windows 2003 Storage Edition) that has 1.5 TB of storage for our MAc users. We use ExtremeZ-IP... I have nothing bu great things to say for it...

One of our user accounts no longer loads thru Mail

For no reason I can ascertain, the Inbox is greyed out in Mail, and only one user (myself, the main user) is black and will load mail. This account works normally. However my husband's "mail only" sub-user account is greyed out, displays the "~" and will not load mail. I have tried to create a new acount for him but it is also greyed out. I have not changed any settings and I am on a network where this formerly worked just fine. As my account just renewed, I thought perhaps my husband's account had not been updated, but we can get his mail thru the web browser.
G5 tower Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Is this an email only account under your .Mac account?
I have tried to create a new acount for him but it is also greyed out.
In an email only account under your .Mac account, you tried to create another email only account or you tried deleting and recreating the email only account in Mail?
At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Mailbox > Online Status.
Is "Take the (name of this email only account) Online" available?
If so, select it.

Email Accounts no longer connect after software update

Hi,
I updated to the latest software and after doing so my email accounts that do not use the BES are failing to connect. For example, yahoo email, google email, or my service provider host email do not connect.
I have deleted those accounts, restarted the phone and attempted to reconnect to them but they all say the same thing that they server is unavailable and the account cannot be added. Now, I could understand one of those, but all of them with the same issue?? There is something else at work here.
Since my service provider is not the issue in this case, the phone is, how can I get this corrected?
thanks.

Ignore that advice (for now) regarding a security wipe. This user is making many off the cuff posts with, quite frankly poor advice and poorly explained suggestions.
You might first connect with your BES Admin and confirm that some IT Policy disallowed personal email accounts (you mentioned your work email on BES is working correctly, so you are obviously getting good data connections).

TS1702 after upgrading to ios6 my 3gs iPhone no longer connects to internet and can not connect to iTunes or app store . . . just the loading icon

My 3gs phone has stopped connecting for apps, itunes, app store. I believe it may have something to do with the IOS6 install. Safari seems to be operating though.

Have you rebooted your home router?

Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode. In this case, all data on it is gone. There's nothing to back up.

Hi welly
I just got a similar issue and possibly found a (really ugly) workaround.
My Mobile Clients do their initial sync fine, also background sync worked as expected. I ran into troubles as soon as I tried to sync manually. And the logout syncs didn't work at all. The issue only occured on third party smb servers, afp currently works fine for me with the same configuration.
Additionally the poor clients desperately try to connect to the network home again and again and again and thus cause a lot of very ugly traffic on the network.
I kind of "solved" this as I realized that other shares from the same server are mounted on the machines as well. I unmounted them with the Finder and suddenly all the syncs worked like a charm..
I'm really curious if this is a newly introduced bug with 10.6.7 or 10.6.6, I had machines with 10.6.5 (or was it 10.6.4?) properly running with mobile accounts in the same setup.
Here are my error messages from system.log

ITunes no longer connects to many of the radio stations that it used to

I recently patched the new upgrade version of iTunes. I decided to wait this long so they could work out some of the bugs first. Apparently it still has some. And this post applys to both the Mac and Windows versions.
I used to enjoy listening to the di.fm Chillout station in the Ambient section of iTunes. After I patch this new upgraded version of iTunes it will no longer connect to the station. This by no means is hindering me from listening to my station, but it is taking away the convenience of doing it all through iTunes. The new version also cut off many other radio stations as well (unable to connect).
Andbody have a clue if Apple is ever going to fix this?

Some things to try:
• try connecting via ethernet
• turn Airport off and then back on, or go to System Preferences -> Network and select Renew DHCP Lease
• from System Preferences, create a new network location
• turn the router and/ or modem off, wait 15 seconds, turn them back on again
• zap the PRAM:

• check and possibly adjust the security settings on the router
See if any of those work for you.

IMac will no longer connect to my Airport wireless network

I set up a wireless network at home using Airport Express some time ago, but as of yesterday my iMac will no longer connect to it. The name of the wireless network still appears in the list of visible networks but when I try to connect it just times out. The iMac is only about 12 feet away from the Airport Express access point, and both my MBP and my iPhone are both able to connect as normal without a problem, but the iMac will no longer connect. I have made no changes at all to the network, or the iMac - it just no longer connects. Any help would be much appreciated.
Jason.

If everything else is connecting with no issues, I would go into the wifi setting on the iPad and redo the info there, user, password and anything else related to your wifi at your house.
It is possible whatever he reset may have reset something to default setting which will not allow it to connect. If you need too then verify the wifi setting by comparing it with another device setting that works on your home network.
Good luck
