When I wake my computer up from sleep all the Mail and Calendar accounts are offline?

Now that I have upgraded to Mountain Lion, when I wake my computer from sleep all of my Mail and Calender accounts are offline. This includes Gmail, AOL, and iCloud accounts. The connection doctor in Mail says that Mail can connect to the internet but puts red dots next to all of my accounts stating that connections to both the IMAP and SMTP servers could not be made. This issue has shown up only after upgrading to Mountain Lion, and the only way to resolve it seems to be to manually quit and relaunch Mail and Calender at which point everything goes back to normal until I sleep the computer again. Any ideas?

Further to my previous post... I think I may have stumbled uppon a solution.
Summary: When I fixed a problem with dictation, mail started working again.
Background: I noticed that after upgrading to 10.8.1 the dictation feature no longer worked. When I pressed [fn] twice the dictation bubble would appear, three dots in it would shake and then it beeped. No dictation. I searched for a solution, tried it out and dictation worked again. Then, this morning I opened up my Mac and mail sucessfully downloaded without having to restart mail.app!
Solution: This is a fix for dictation issues so don't blame me if it messes up your perfectly working dictation! However, it appears to have fixed my mail problems:
Locate and delete the file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.assistant.plist (Finder’s Go and press and hold Alt option). Then restart your Mac, turn off Dictation (Apple > System Preferences, click Dictation & Speech, and then click Dictation) and reboot your Mac a second time and try again.
The original thread is here.
So, a random "solution" with beneficial side effects! Let me know it works for you.

TS4209 When i wake up my iMac from sleep my wifi is disconnected. It also disconnects my iPad, my wives iPad, my iPhone & Sky On Demand which is connected via wifi. To reconnect all devices i have to switch off & then on again wifi on the iMac. Can anyon

When i wake up my iMac from sleep my wifi is disconnected. It also disconnects my iPad, my wives iPad, my iPhone & Sky On Demand which is connected via wifi. To reconnect all devices i have to switch off & then on again wifi on the iMac. Can anyone help?

Had the same issue and finally solved it. After the upgrade to Mavericks our 2 new Macbook Airs stopped connecting automatically to Wifi while the older machines the kids had still worked fine.
Bought a new airport extreme and problem solved. Our Airport Extreme was about 5 years old and was probably not compatible with the new OSX.
BTW this was after trying everything people suggested on this forum and a 4 hour marathon tech support call with Apple where we reinstalled the OSX.
***** to need to spend $200 but glad the problem got solved.
New extreme is also mega fast so its all good.

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2.

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2? Any suggestions for getting the correct photo to show on iPad2?

Update: I was able to have the correct photo show in my email as received on my iPad2 by changing a setting on my IMac prior to sending the photo on the email.
On the iMac, I went into iPhoto > Preferences > Email photos using > Mail (in lieu of "iPhoto"). This seems to have corrected the issue. I'm not sure why. Now the correct photo shows up when received on my iPad2.

HT204032 Do the mail and calendar apps need to be launched when the mac goes to sleep for them to receive new messages in power nap?

I was just trying to figure out if the Mail and Calendar apps need to be launched and running before the mac goes to sleep for them to recieve new messages during power nap.

You must open Mail and Calendar

Often when Firefox is closed and reopened ALL the tabs and tab groups are missising. FIX!!!!

For reasons that are unclear to me I sometimes close Firefox and later re-open it. In some cases ALL the tabs and tab groups are gone. Today it opened in MSN.com and ALL tabs were gone. I put a lot of pages on these and have NO WAY to find them all again. If this continues and you cannot give me a way to recall them I simply will have to go to another browser. It always happens when I need them most and don't have time to even track down one. It completely upsets my day, week, month whatever!!!.
Is there a way to get them back? Someone asked a similar question and was never given a useful answer.

I've begun having this problem as well. Reviewing the above, I seen no errors that I' making. A few weeks ago, without being aware of an update to Firefox, it began behaving differently than it has for years. I've always had it set to open to an empty tab, now it often opens to the 'Firefox Home Page' (which I've never used)... this despite resetting my opening page to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" (upon troubleshooting the 'home page issue' I found that the opening page had reset to FF Home somehow. I store a lot of pages in tab groups and having them disappear is a major bummer since they're news articles I'm waiting to copy.
Also... I run CCleaner weekly and I know that will erase the group tabs I've stored so before running it I have to store those URL's another way. Does anyone know what I can uncheck in CCleaner to keep those tabs?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the app store using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
Why do you want it on your computer, apps won't run on a computer.

I cannot order photo prints from iphoto. Error says that the delivery address is in an unsupported country. The address and my account are in the UK. Does anyone have any ideas?

Are you trying to print from iPhoto on your Mac or iPad/iPhone? If you are trying to print form yor Mac, check, if the Print Products Store in the iPhoto Preferences > Advanced is set to U.K.
Also the bimmling address, Delivery address, the country for your AppleID and Credit Card must all be in the same country. Check this document:

Why is Firefox 4 freezing when I wake my Mac up from sleep?

I just upgraded to FF 4. Every time I wake my Macbook Pro up from sleep mode (from having put it to sleep/closing the lid, with FF still running), FF freezes. This only began happening since I upgraded 2 days ago.
It doesn't crash. Every other program that was running before works just fine, the mouse works, keyboard, etc. But FF appears frozen, won't actually open new URLs (it just sits there after I've typed a new URL or tried to use one of the tabs I had open from before putting it to sleep), and each time I've had to force quit FF and re-open, and then it works fine.
This was not an issue with FF 3.
Any ideas? I looked around for similar questions in the forum but only saw posts about FF crashing, not freezing.

it's not a profile issue. or a concurrent firefox process issue.

Can I wake my Macbook Pro from Sleep with the Remote app on the iPhone?

I can't access my Macbook Pro remotely, specially after several hours of inactivity,, whenever I try to access content of my library through the remote app or the Apple TV I'm unable to wake my Macbook Pro up.
My Macbook Pro is 2012 model (the last with de CD Drive) and it's running the Maverick OS, my questions are:
* I'm unable to find the "Unable Power Nap while plugged" option on the energy saver tab... is that because the model of my laptop doesn't support that?
* In order to access content from my library remotely, should the "Computer Sleep" option on the energy saver be on "Never" instead of the "1 hour" that I'm currently using... or is there a way to still be able to wake up the laptop with those settings

Do you have a Bonjour Sleep Proxy server on your network?
<About Wake on Demand and Bonjour Sleep Proxy>
If you do not have a Bonjour Sleep Proxy server on your local network, then you cannot allow your Mac to go to sleep at all. System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Computer Sleep -> Never (slide all the way to the right).

When opening firefox pop up says firefox is already running close window or restart computer this is happening all the time and i have no windows open so i can not get on the internet

When i switch my laptop on then double click Firefox to go on the internet a pop up appears more often than not saying Firefox is already running you have to close existing window or restart your computer, i have nothing at all running so i have to restart the computer only to find the same thing happens again and again. I updated Firefox to newest version about 2 months ago and this was happening now and again but it seems to be happening all the time now. It is just luck sometimes that it lets me launch the internet.

Hi There before i posted on this site i did all sorts of scans including malware scans. Today i got on internet no problem last night i tried the pop up appeared about 6 times i gave up. I have someone coming to look at my laptop today if they discover anything i will post the findings. Many Thanks Dancingflame

When updating to 8.5.1. from 8.5., the excel and word toolbox vi's are gone

I updated from 8.5 to 8.5.1 and now my vi's with excel and word sub vi's do not work. I re-installed the toolbox for Microsoft office and this did not help.
How can I get the excel and word sub vi's to work?

I tried uninstalling lv 8.5.1. through the control panel, add/remove programs. I only uninstalled lv 8.5.1. and not all the other programs. Once re-installed, the functions palette still shows no word or excel sub vi's.
Did you uninstall all of the labview programs and toolbox, or just labview 8.5.1?
Thanks,

My 5 year old iMac's hard drive is at the point of failing. I'm trying to save al files on it, but it wont allow backup via Time Machine to an external hard drive. How can I keep from losing all the files and programs if the hard drive fails?

I'm concerned that my iMac, purchased 5 years ago, is about the crash and I can't back up my files and programs to an external hard drive via Time Machine because the computer freezes after only a couple hundred MB and gets nowhere near the required amount.
How can I save these files and programs if the computer hard drive fails or has to be replaced without the backup being able to be done? I need to do something quickly, but I'm not sure what I can or should be doing.

Get an external hard drive, some good ones that I like are the OWC, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro drives...they are very good and reasonably priced.
Get the drive, connect via USB or FireWire, then use Disk Utility to format the new drive as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and then use Disk Utility to Restore the current drive to the new drive. Restore actually clones the drive so you will have a bootable backup on the external drive.
After you have formatted and named the external drive, click Restore in the main Disk Utility window, drag the name of the old hard drive to the Source box, and drag the name of the new external drive to the Destination box. DU will make an exact clone of the internal drive on the external drive.
That clone will be a complete backup of the operating system and all of your data.
You can test it by restarting the iMac and hold the Option key. That will give you a grey screen showing all bootable drives. Just click the external drive, then click the upward pointing arrow under it and the iMac will boot from that drive.

Well i sync my music...and then when i click on my music app theres all the songs and i click on one and it comes up as unplayable?

I tried that already and it doesnt work :s my parents recently got new internet so their old email is the one that is coming uo as my apple ID. but i try and type in the password for even that but it doesnt work because that email is invaled because they got a new one. Mine was working for a bit than it switched over :s

I use three Google buttons- and one or two don't get saved on exit. When I use my Google Mail button, the mail and news buttons are always hidden when I exit mail and Google Directions button often gets displayed. Has happened through at least three versi

Google Buttons Get Hidden
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed Firefox a few months ago.

I found the solution at the Google support page. Google buttons might either change or disappear if Google Toolbar is set to access Google Toolbar settings everywhere. Change that setting to local computer only takes care of it. (So Far.)

I did a software upgrade to IOS6 and my Iphone4S is now unable to update. Do I lose all my contacts and calendar entries when I restore?

You should be syncing all your contacts and calendars with your computer, either via iCloud or iTunes, so it is easy to re-sync them back to the phone after you restore.

When I wake my computer up from sleep all the Mail and Calendar accounts are offline?
