Why did my outgoing email start acting up since I did latest update?

ever since I did the OSX update 10.8.5 my outgoing email has become very eratic. Incoming email is no problem. I keep getting this message
"connections to the host on the default ports failed. Please try another server"
this happens about 2 out of every 3 atempts to send email. It was never a problem prior to the OS unpdate. 1 out of every 3 sent emails go through without any issues

Outgoing email sits in Drafts since 10.4.6 update

Hi All
Since upgrading to 10.4.6 (and I'm not saying that this is necessarily the cause here), emails I send using Mail.app go to the sent box as normal, but also appear in the Drafts folder a short time after sending. I have been able to confirm in most cases so far that messages have actually been sent, but obviously this is still worrying.
Has anyone else had a similar experience, or a possible fix? Many thanks in advance.
Philip

Hi Philip,
This was reported by several people, prior to the update to 10.4.6. I have experienced it in very limited fashion, where only about 45 messages have done this, out of many hundreds. It seems to be more annoyance, than problem.
Removing the Drafts.mbox from the account folder might solve, this, but I have not tested the results for this particular problem since I cannot get Mail to do this very often. There is no risk anything, except to any Drafts you wish to preserve. Let me know if you want to try this.

HT4623 Why did the update of my phone to the IOS 6, lose my UTube icon, and was replaced with a Passbook app.

Why did the update of my iphone4 to the IOS 6, lose my UTube icon, and was replaced with a Passbook app.

Apple is no longer supporting YouTube with a native application starting with iOS 6.0. The "old" YouTube application was automatically removed when you upgraded, and it no longer exists in the new iOS. There are however, numerous third-party apps in the App Store which will allow you to view YouTube, including one from Google, which is the parent company for YouTube. Passbook is a new application to iOS 6.0 and is not at all related to YouTube.

It's in recovery mode. You don't have a choice. Anything that was on the phone is already gone. If you didn't back it up, there is no way to recover it.

I keep getting prompted to enter my Apple ID and password numerous times daily on both my iPad and iPhone. This started happening after I installed the latest update. Any suggestions?

Ever since installing the latest update to iOS 7.1.2 I am prompted numerous times daily to enter my Apple ID and password. I am having the same issue on my iPad 2 and my iPhone4. Any suggestions?

First, if you still have access to the hacked account, rename it if you can and change the password for it.
How to change the name you use for your Apple ID
If needed, change the email linked to it as well. Get control of that account back.
As all iTunes purchases are linked to the account that purchased them (music, apps, etc) it is best to rename an account rather than creat a new account. Apple ID's can't be deleted or merged either.
From Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you need further Apple ID help, you will want to contact Apple, Apple ID Support
or maybe iTunes Support

Why doesn't outgoing email sound work?

A while back I had this same problem...the outgoing email sound didn't work. So I did this: Applications>Utilities>Audio Midi Setup>Built-in Output>Output> Changed the output to 2ch - 32bit Float (was originally: 2ch-24 bit integer). Then the sound worked fine. Today, once again, the same problem has recurred. Additionally, now when I increase or decrease the sound from the keyboard, there is no "bleeping" sound with each increase or decrease change. There is sound when I watch a video, etc. I went to Audio Midi Setup and tried changing back to 2ch-24 bit integer, but that didn't help. I did try rebooting with 2ch-32 bit Float as well as with 2ch-24bit integer...didn't help. Any suggestions?

You don't give us anything like enough data to go on. What is your operating system? Do you have a functioning iCloud account - i.e. are you signed in in System Preferences>iCloud?
Were you originally a MobileMe subscriber? If so, did you migrate to iCloud?
Was your email still working recently? Do you get any error messages? What happens when you try to use it?
Have you been using an @icloud.com address or an @me.com address?

Why are my outgoing email attachments being compressed?

How do I stop my outgoing email photo attachments from being compressed when they arrive at their destination? I send a photo at 3.0MB and the client receives a 98KB size. Is there a particular photo format that does not compress? I am usng Mountain Lion with an iMac. All photos are processed with Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 and Graphic Converter 8.5.1.
I have reviewed all system, mail and third-party preferences to make sure nothing is checked to "adjust for web", or the like. Your thoughts will be much appreciated to help solve this vexing mystery.

Be sure the Image Size pop-up at the upper right corner of the message body, after attaching a picture, is set to "Actual Size".

HT4623 Why Did this update result in changes to the apple id on my phone?

Why did the recent update cause so many problems on my new iphone?

The update would not result in changes to your Apple ID.
As for your other question it is impossible to answer since you haven't mentioned any specific problems.
I (and millions of others) updated to iOS 6.1.3 with no problems whatsoever.
What problems do you have? It is possible that some corruption occurred when you were updating your iPhone.

Won't start-up, can't reinstall after latest update

I was running the latest update that included a os x combined update and a firmware update. All was going well, and then the laptop restarted with the firmware update progress screen. The computer restarted abruptly, and never started up correctly since.
Here's where I am now:
The boot process is very slow and takes much longer then usual. Eventually my desktop background loads, along with the desktop icons. The menubar on top loads too. The dock does not load, and I can't open anything through the desktop icons. I can use quick-preview (pressing spacebar), but can't open any application. None of the dropdown lists work on the menu bar. Occasionally, the screen switched to black and blue and back to the usual desktop.
Nothing works, opens, or can be accessed. Even the power button works, I need to shutdown with shift-control-option-power.
I tried to reinstall osx, or at least access disk utilities to make some repairs.
If I press option during the boot with the CD in, nothing happens, and I wind up the same position as described above.
If I press C instead, I get a kernel panic during the boot process.
I tried the CD on a different mac, and it worked fine.
I'm stuck!!! Can't reinstall, can't fix, can't access!!!
Any ideas or experiences with fixing this?

What's the precise text of your message, Callum? There's a few different ones I can think of that mention reinstalling iTunes.

Did latest update and ALL my music is gone, how do i get this back

Did latest IPHONE update and ALL my music is gone. What happened? How do I get it back?

Re sync it from iTunes. If you did the update on a computer, you probably didn't wait long enough for the process to finish. I don't think I like the fact that the phone no longer gives an indication on screen when it's syncing, but that's the way it is. Updating on a computer, it will restore, then re-sync apps and music after the fact. If you're not looking at the status bar in iTunes on the computer, it's easy to think it's completely finished when it isn't.

Quick time player doesnt start any more since kernel shock and update, the symbol looks different, reinstallation doesn´t work

hi there.
I am using a Macbook Pro with snow leopard and this is my problem:
I was having a Kernel Shock 2 weeks ago. After that, my Finder-Dashboard hasn´t work any more. I´ve did the latest update. Now Dashboard Works but Quick Time Player doesns´t do.
I Can´t find NOWHERE in the internet an installation file for Quick time player to reinstall. And I can´t find my Installation DVD.
quicktime has changed his symbol to an white picture with pensil and brush.
I have made a second Account and activeted the guest accounts and tryed there, but Quick time player isn´t here working to.
its really sad that this program doesn´t run any more.
It blinks 2 times in the dock and shut down immediately.
Can someone please help me? is my only opinion finding the Disc?

I've tested that on an iPad 1 and it seems problem is performance related. On this device a simple click to a google search result link doesn't work properly. You hit the target multiple times and sporadically it opens. You still see the focus on the object and it's activation but no event triggering happens.
All others functions are working well, only Webapps and Webpages suffer from this issue.
The owner of the device has not recognized that issue and believed it is a "feature" not a bug as he do not has much experience with Apple devices. But this confirms it is on every device and not my own personal one or dedicated to our office. The only workaround is to use other devices or touching links with different speed/pressure. It works better if you hit the objects very quick lifting the finger immediately.

Why are my outgoing emails from my IPad rejected by my server

I Cannot send email from my IPad. I get a box saying "message in outbox. Recipient rejected by the server". I have checked settings and can send successfully to same recipients from my computer and IPhone. I've switched off and restarted IPad and just been to my computer and checked I can get on web and send message ok from there.

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works
