When i try to send  a message in mail it says it cannot use the server. I know very little about macs and need help

i need help with the email on my mac. it says i cannot use the sever. any help would be awesome thank you

If you are trying to connect to your ISP e-mail account. The ISP will help you setup and connect to your e-mail account. So, you might want to give them a call.
Usually, when you are told that you can't use the server it means that there might be an error (either a wrong name/ address / password/ connection type/ etc.) so check your settings again...
Else you could try the following:

  • When I try to make an in-app purchase, it says it cannot complete the transaction.

    So, I downloaded the app Roblox mobile and tried to make an in-app purchase with it, and it worked the first three times, but when I tried a forth time, it said "Please contact Itunes Support to complete this transaction"   I then tried purchasing an app, and I was able, same with songs.   But not with the in-app purchase.  I do not use credit card, but I just got a few Itunes gift cards and I'm using those.  I have redownloaded the app and tried over and over, and even waited a day, but it still doesn't work...   its an Ipod 4th Gen and I just got it a few days ago, and there's only about ten apps on it.  I also got the apple account at the same time.  I sent Itunes support a message, but I'm posting this while waiting for their response.

    By doing exactly what it said to do and what you have alrready done:
    "Please contact Itunes Support to complete this transaction"

  • When I try to send a message, I can choose a name from my contacts but theres no number, email adrdress etc showing up?

    When I try to send a message, I can choose a contact ok but theres no info under the name, phone number, email etc.  Anybody have any ideas?

    I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes.  Now it's dad and husband, every time!  Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails. 
    And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered".  So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point.  I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions.  (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck.  I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

    Due to the current unavailability of clairvoyants and mind-readers in the forum, we respectfully request you supply sensible, complete details.
    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,

    Not sure if anyone can help but I have a copy of Photoshop CS5.1. Ever since it was installed, every now and again when I try do something simple like save a file or scale something using the Transform tool, in fact anything at all it comes up with "Could not complete your request because of a program error". Have thought about re-installing  it but I have lost my serial number.  I'm living in Ireland and trying to get to talk to someone in tech support is a complete joke. Any ideas what to do ? Thanks

    Ianp69549740 have you tried reinstalling Photoshop CS5.1?  If so do you receive any specific errors?  What operating system are you using?

  • How come, when I add myYahoo! email account to MAIL, after verifying, I always get the "server unavailable. please try again later"

    How come, when I add myYahoo! email account to MAIL, after verifying, I always get the "server unavailable. please try again later"

    THANKS! this worked !!!
    I hit "DELETE THIS ACCOUNT" on my iphone (this is the Yahoo I tried to set up by "picking" it from the list that the iphone5 gives you) and then confirmed to delete everything.
    THEN: while in Mail (still in the Settings Section) I tapped on "ADD ACCOUNT..." but this time tapped on "OTHER" and manually put in my yahoo ID and password and I did not even have to go to the   SMTP or IMAP incomming/outgoing stuff at all. But I checked it out under the "ADVANCE" tab and it was already correct for yahoo. (ALMOST SEEMED TOO EASY)
    Went to my home screen and tapped on MAIL and my yahoo email loaded up just right!
    Now, I have no idea if I have any other issues like if I delete mail on the iphone; does it delete properly on my ipad...etc..etc. but one problem at a time is getting fixed. THANKS!

  • When i try to back up my iphone 4 it says i cannot back it up with the error code -50

    when i try to back up my iphone 4 it says i cannot back it up with the error code -50? HELP

    If you are running Windows and it stops on the first stage of a sync then my suggestion is to uninstall AppleDeviceSupport version 2.0.1 and re-install 1.5.2.
    There are instruction here to do it on Windows 7 (see the first post):
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3280228?tstart=0
    Those instructions are to fix a different problem, but it fixes the problem with syncing devices stopping on the first stage (backing up the device) too. The AppleDeviceSupport 2.0.1 comes with Quicktime 7.7 and, I believe, the latest Safari version.
    I'm running XP, so used the Everything search program (http://www.voidtools.com/download.php) to find the directories with the AppleDeviceSupport installers (they have the extension .msi and the version in the directory name) and right-mouse-buttoned them to do the uninstall and install. Note you need a reboot afterwards. (Actually I just sorted out the service in the Service Manager, but that's a longer explaination and a reboot works fine).
    Hope that helps,
    John
