Why can I download Gmail to my mac's mail - but I can not send? I have followed all instructions I can find but it still won't send. Any thoughts?

I have a strong desire to use the native apps on my Mac for mail and calendar - but my new position is using Gmail.
I can send mail and calendar works fine - but I can not send mail. I have followed all the directions and still can't see to get it to work.
Is there a step I am missing? Has anyone else successfully tackled this issue?
Thanks
Bill

Are there any error messages to give us a clue?
There is no 'issue', millions of people use Gmail with a Mac, they send mail so the 'issue' is with your machine so we'll concentrate on that. Post the SMTP settings that are in use for this account, post the authentication method as well, tell me whether you have activated Google's '2 Factor' authentication method if you have.

Can't Get My iPod Nano To Work -- Have Followed All Instructions

My iPod Nano arrived yesterday. I'm generally good at computers, and did think I'd have any trouble getting it working. Apparently, I was wrong.
When I plug it into my computer, it shows up in Windows Explorer as "Removable Disk", but trying to access it just gives me an error. iTunes doesn't see it. I have followed all of the instructions given with the iPod, and on every applicable support page I could find, including this one which seems to describe the problem perfectly: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716, but to no avail. I've reset the iPod, and even tried to restore it (though I have no idea why I should need to for a brand new product). I've connected it to half a dozen different USB ports, tried everything on two different computers, but it refuses to work.
I am getting extremely fed up with this, and would appreciate any advice to help me solve this problem.
EDIT: The iPod itself seems to function properly at the little it can do without any media. Also, when I try to run the iPod updater, it either freezes or throws the "iPod Service Error".

We all seem to having similar problems; so now what? Since I connected my ipod to the computer,I have been unable to use my ipod at all (it won't even turn on, other than display the "do not disconnect" sign) and while my computer recognizes the ipod, itunes does not. I am concerned about re-installing itunes because I have purchased songs and am afraid I will lose them; I cannot restore my ipod since I will lose all the songs on the ipod that have been purchased;and it will not simply do an update.
I agree that this is extremely frustrating, particularly when there doesn't seem to be an online support system directly with Apple.
Any ideas????

Ever since upgrading to Yosemite on my Mac, I can only configure my time capsule via iPhone. My Mac cannot locate for backup, but CAN find as my internet router. I have followed all suggestions I can locate and have upgraded to newest version.

Time Capsule in Yosemite can be used for router/internet but Mac cannot locate for backups.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

I have downloaded an app, and it says that it's downloaded, but it is not on my pages at all. How can I find it?

When I tried to download it again, it said open where it usually would say free. And when I clicked open, nothing would happen. How do I get it back?

1. Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right. Check the Volume and Mute settings.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

My iphone does not work was downloading an update and now I get only the itunes and usb icon and follow all the steps and I get itunes still does not work

please help me ...!!!

The Sad face icon is usually a very good indication of a hardware malfunction or failure usually with the iPod's Hard Drive, which would also explain the loud clicking noise you are hearing.
I assume you have seen this article yet?

I can't download linked files on mac osx lion what do i do?

i can't download linked files on mac osx lion what do i do?

There have been some reported problems with Apple's servers.
Try this.
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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
I assume you are trying to update via wifi. You can also connect the iPad to your computer and update using iTunes.
 Cheers, Tom

HT1725 In a download of an entire album, one song download was interrupted. I have followed the instructions for resuming the download, but each time I attempt to resume the download the same error message appears saying the download was interrupted. Ans

While downloading an album in from the Store, one song was interrupted. I have followed the instructions from apple about resuming the download, but every time I do so the same error message appears saying the download was interrupted. I am having no connection problems, have rebooted my computer, downloaded the lates version of iTunes, etc., yet nothing changes. Has anyone else experienced this, and are there any workarounds. Sadly the problem hit on one of the best songs of the album.

I had the same problem so (assuming under the Purchased items in the Store you have a song stuck at 'Downloading'):
I went to Music, then Artists.
From there I chose the album.
The song that failed to download had the cloud symbol next to it.
I clicked the cloud symbol and the song completed the download for me.
(Please note this was in iTunes for Windows - I expect it to be similar in iTunes for Apple)

Because the developer needs to create and maintain the two versions separately and has chosen to charge for the Mac OS X version.
