My o2 email account does not work when sending from my MAC it will accept incoming mail but not send it gives me a message that o2 account (offline) my mac I have no problem with my iPhone or mac laptop. any suggestions please.
Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!! -
Since the last IOS update, I still can't drag distribution lists from my contacts to my email. Apple has been absolutely no help, in spite of contacting them 5 times on this subject. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
I have IOS 7.0.1 and updates are current.

I'm trying to send (email) photos from iPhoto. Computer says it doesn't recognize my user name or password. I've never had a problem emailing photos.....until now. Any suggestions? I'm sure it's simple but I don't know it!
CAN ANYONE HELP?? I ALSO NEED TO KNOW WHICH/WHAT TO PICK FOR MY MAIL CLIENT. I'VE TRIED THREE DIFFERENT THINGS AND NONE OF THEM WORK!Mail would be a good choice, unless you are using another email client, like Outlook. There is likely something wrong with the account setup in iPhoto. You may need to delete the account you set up and enter it again if you want to send with iPhoto instead of with Mail.
Give this a try to see what might be wrong: Drag a photo from iPhoto onto the Mail icon in the Dock. It will create a new message with the photo attached. If you click on the photo in Mail, it should show a popup menu to allow you to set the image size to send.
Check out some of the links in the More Like This section to the right. There might be some other suggestions. -
I Purchased season 5 of Downton Abbey and have downloaded episode 1. It will play on my iPad but will not play on Apple TV. Other movies and videos work fine. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?
OOur internet service is not always fast enough to stream directly on Apple TV which is why we want to use AirPlay from the iPad to Apple TV. When we try to play a movie it starts for one second and then crashes out. This does not happen with every TV show - we watched 8 episodes of Season 4 with no problem, but it would not play episode 9 or episode 1 of season 5.

Trying to restore, I've tried a dozen networks and I keep getting a "lost connection" after an hour or two, EVERYTIME. Using Cox Wi-fi with a netgear 300 router. Any suggestions?
Thanks, helped me figure out a bigger problem there was with my router's access control and all kinds of crazy numbers that needed to be changed, but I got it.
Problem is fixed as far as I can tell! -
My Mom typed in the wrong email address and now her mail is locked. It states that it can't be sent because the server rejected one of the recipient's addresses. The message has been placed in your Outbox. Now when I go to the outbox I can not access it. It is like it's locked. She has and IPad version 1. Any help would be appreciated.
This may be of help.

If you can't use the mail app now - if it is frozen - quit the app and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close mail by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down onthe mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesnt help try resetting the iPad. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
My iphone5 can't open email. Says user name/password incorrect; however, my info has not changed.
Any suggestionsI agree. The iPhone is not saying that your email settings are wrong, it is your email. Please check that your email is working using a computer or something else. If it works then delete your account on your iPhone and set it up again.
I hope that this helps and do please report back. -

The RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension (installed with RealPlayer) can cause Firefox to show images correctly upon the first visit to a website, but not on subsequent visits or refreshes. Disabling this extension will fix the problem.
# Open the RealPlayer program.

# Go to the {menu Download & Recording} section and uncheck the option '''Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browsers:'''. <br/> [[Image:05677927d590bbd4054d22fc7139ee06-1236696839-878-1.png]]<br/>

= Images load but look wrong =
If images on websites load, but don't look right or don't look the way they do in other browsers:
* If the colors in the image look incorrect, try the solutions in the [[Website colors are wrong]] article.
* If you are using any sort of web accelerator software, disable it and see if images load properly. For more information, see the documentation that came with the software.
* If the image area shows text or some form of gibberish, see the MozillaZine Knowledge Base article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Page_displays_as_gibberish Page displays as gibberish].
= Other reasons why images may not load =
* The site that displays the images may be down or experiencing difficulties. To verify, try loading the site from a different computer or browser.
* Some pathnames to images contain backslashes (e.g. {filepath example.com\MyImage.jpg}). In browsers other than Internet Explorer, these pathnames do not load. If you see that the image's URL contains a backslash, contact the site's webmaster about the issue.
<!--## The [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/426 Slashy] extension provides a workaround for this problem.-->
= Images still do not load correctly =
If you have tried all of the solutions in this article and images or animations still don't load correctly:

My iphone 5 does not appear to be remembering my home wifi network and connect to it automatically. I have to reconnect manually each time. My other iphone (4s w/iOS6) has no such problems. Any suggestions?
It's not a bug in iOS 6, and it won't be fixed. It's usually caused by your phone having been paired to 2 different networks with the same SSID. So it needs to ask which one you meant. Occasionally be corrupt data in the network settings, which is why Allan suggested Forget This Network.

I can't change my admin password on my macbook without knowing my old password. I don't remember my old password hence the reason I need to change my password. I'm trying to update my software from leopard to snow leopard and so on, but need my password to install new software. Apple support can't assist me because my operating system is prehistoric. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi
Boot your MacBook using the original disk that came with it. Proceed past the languages window and on the next window click on the utilties menu and select Reset Password. It should be fairly obvious what to do next?
If you don't have the original disk but do have a snow leopard disk (must be the generic one) then use the same procedure.
I'm surprised Apple said they could not help you because your OS is prehistoric? Does not sound like Apple to me? Least they could have done was to point you to this Apple support article:

HTH?

Iphone 3G won't finish boot up - any suggestions or did I brick??
Okay, so I got a new Iphone 3GS to replace my 3G and did the backup restore with no problem. The only thing left was to reset the 3G to clear all the data. I did the reset and it seemed to be taking too long so I held the power button down to turn the phone off. I then turned the phone on and now I get the apple screen for roughly 20 seconds and then the phone will power itself off. I have tried holding down the home button while connecting the USB connector but no luck. No matter what I do the phone will power down after 20 seconds. Is there any way to get this to reset and restore to factory new settings? I would like to sell it, but now I am afraid I have an expensive paper weight. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Try holding down the power button and the home button at the same time, but when it turns off and starts up again(the apple logo), don't let go of the buttons. It will shut off again. Take your fingers off the button and then press the start button. That's a hard reset. All data should still be intact and this usually clears any issues when normal shut downs fail.
If not, and assuming you got Apple Care with the 3G and the 3GS you should be able to call apple to see if they have a better solution. -
I have a 1st generation MacBook Pro and I recently downloaded OS X Maverick. My iTunes will not open because it says i need a 64 bit version. Already followed the promted instructions but no luck. Any suggestions??
Oh, you do have the C2D! That's great!
I'm no technical expert, I just like to help out whenever or wherever I can so... I don't know if this can help you, but let me tell you about how I got my Snow Leopard to run in 64 bit mode. When I got my (late 2008) iMac it was running in 32 bit mode under Tiger (2.4 GHz/Core 2 Duo). I eventually upgraded to Snow Leopard & it was running in 32 bit mode (by default) w/1 GB RAM.
Somewhere along the line, I happened to watch a YouTube Video that showed how to upgrade an iMac's RAM, so I ordered two - 2GB sticks of Crucial RAM and then - under the guidance of the 14 or 15 year-old young man who posted the video on YouTube; wearing a rather fashionable static-electricity-neutralizer-wrist-strap, I removed 1GB of RAM & plugged in the 4GBs of RAM. So - boom like that, it was like I bought a brand new machine.
It was over a year later when I stumbled across a way to boot Snow Leopard into 64 bit mode. Turns out that if you boot while holding down the 6 & 4 key combo (the ones above the QWERTY keys), then the machine runs in 64 bit mode. Go figure. Now my Snow Leopard and just about all of my applications - with the ironic exception of iTunes - runs in 64 bit. iTunes seems fine though; if there's a performance bottleneck, I really can't tell.
Well, that's about it..
I hope that something I've mentioned can help you achieve your overall goal.
Finally, it's hard to jump onto a train, a large cat, or a surfboard that's already moving. But don't be surprised when someone a fraction of your age shows you how to.
Best Regards,
