Why did my outgoing email suddenly stop working on all devices?

While sending an email:  On my Powerbook, message contained "connection to the outgoing server failed.
While sending an email from I Pad:  MobilMe account expired.
On the I Phone:  Just said failed
Does having a .mac extension on my address have anything to do with it.

Did you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud before 1 August? If you did then you can set up an iCloud account using it. Your signature says you have 10.4.11 - is this correct? Lion 10.7.2 minimum is required for full use of iCloud but you can set Mail up manually on Tiger to access your iCloud email on a migrated MobileMe account:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger
If you did not migrate the account it has been closed, and all the contents deleted, including everything on the iDisk and any emails you had stored there.
If you only have Tiger you cannot reactivate the address.
If you have Lion or an iOS5 device you can sign into System Preferences> or Settings>iCloud with the @me.com version of the address to reactivate that address; you cannot reactivate the @mac.com version by any method.

  • HT204266 Why did my lock button suddenly stop working?

    I just recently bought the Iphone 5. Its only been a couple of months and my lock button suddenly stopped working. My Iphone 5 isnt the only one that has done this, I know many other people whose phones have done the same thing. Does anyone know why they are doing this?

    Hey destinyw12,
    I'd take a look at the iPhone hardware troubleshooting article to see if you can resolve the issue with your Sleep/Wake button:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Specifically, you'll want to look into the section titled "Buttons and Switches" which will be applicable to your situation.
    Take care,

  • Why did apple trailers and quicktime stop working together all of a sudden?

    I'm running Chrome and Firefox and Apple Trailers suddenly stopped launching HD trailers through Quicktime X. It was working automatically a few weeks ago. The only info i can find on the net is years old. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone fix it?
    Thanks.

    I've been having the same problem, I think since updating to Lion. HD trailers will only load through Safari, no other browser.

  • Outgoing email suddenly stopped working this weeke...

    I've seen may posts on this issue but not seen a solution that works for me yert:
    I have a @btinternet.com email address and have been happily using this via iMac, iPad and webmail to send and receive emails no problem for a long while. A couple of days ago I started having the problem where I keep getting a popup asking for a passowrk on Mac Mail on the iMac and cannot send outgoing emails. I can still send/receive with no issues via iPad and Webmail.
    I have changed no settings, deleted the account and recreated it several times with no joy. The outgoing SMTP server shows offline. I'm fairly sure the settings are correct though.
    I have logged in/out of webmail several times as well.
    I can send email via my @icloud.com email address from my iMac without any problems.
    Anyone able to help?
    Regards

  • Email suddenly stops working on iOS devices

    I have been using email on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5 for over a year.
    Two days ago, it stopped receiving email.
    The error message I get is
    "Cannot get mail. Password or username is incorrect."
    Except that the email on my  MacBook Pro works fine using Thunderbird, and I have no trouble accessing the web based email using a PC.
    In fact, I was even able to send myself a test email from the iPad to my gmail account.
    Any ideas, suggestions. I re-booted each device twice to no effect,
    Thanks,

  • Home sharing suddenly stopped working. All devices have home sharing enabled, all devices are using the same network but cant see each other

    I've gone through all the Googling and support forums I can handle.. They all tell me to the same things. I have done everything required and quite honestly Home Sharing was working for quite some time. So I don't think I changed anything.
    The only culprit I can think of is the wireless network. We had to call Comcast and reset our service, and they gave us a new modem. Our router is also new.
    Is there a setting in a router that lets multiple devices connect but blocks each of them to each other? That seems to be what's happening.
    Apple TV2 can see our connection no problem and can download trailers (downloading movies never works though!!!), we have two Macs and two iPhones and all are on our wireless and none can connect to one another using Home Sharing.
    Please help!! This is an odd one!!

    I believe this is true. Alas, I wrote this a while ago and the link is dead. I can't totally remember what the issue was.
    But, looking through the PDF for the Linksys e2000, searching for 'filter multicast' I see this:
    Filter Multicast The multicasting feature allows for multiple transmissions to specific recipients at the same time . If multicasting is permitted, then the Router will allow IP multicast packets to be forwarded to the appropriate computers . Select this option to enable the filter . This option is disabled by default.
    And in my settings it's been enabled. So maybe try that.
    Filter multicast is under Securtiy>Firewall after you log in as admin.
    Why it's disabled by default I do not know.
    Good luck! Hope this is the solution!! Apple should warn people of this feature conflict to Apple TV buyers.

  • Why has my magic mouse suddenly stopped working? I'm using 10.6.8

    Why has my magic mouse suddenly stopped working? I'm using 10.6.8

    We can't know. You have not told us what exactly the problem is. If there are any warnings, you need to provide them along with other info like the crash logs. If not you have to explain the situation in more detail. Just saying that it doesn't work anymore is not particularly useful.

  • Why did my motorola s9-hd stop working with my iPhone 3gs?

    Why did my motorola s9-hd stop working with my iPhone 3gs? I can't even be a foot away from my iPhone before my bluetooth headset losses signal. It wasn't like that before. What changed and how can it be fixed?

    Sounds like you inadvertently have the Add Anchor Point tool active. Click and hold to get the full selection and choose the "regular" Pen tool at the top. (Or, just tap the P key.)

  • My outgoing email suddenly quit working.  Settings are correct, but says server unable to send. Can receive fine.  This happened on both Iphone

    My outgoing email suddendly stopped working.  Happened first on my IPhone, msgs were stuck in outbox.  This self-corrected, and now my Mac Pro will not send email.  It says server not able to send, but I can receive fine.  No changes were made.  Settings are correct.  Any ideas what's wrong?

    OK, I thought you'd like to know that I figured it out!   Yea.
    I reasoned since my iphone is now sending, I would check to see if the exact same settings in the advanced mail area were the same.
    The port on my phone was 110, but in advanced mail area on the mac it was 995/SSL.
    I clicked on that and it defaulted to 110.
    But what is strange is the 110 port is supposed to be for incoming mail (which I was getting fine even tho it had the 995 port) and the smtp outgoing I thought was a defaulted 25 port. 
    Anyway, when I changed the mac to the 110 port in advanced area, the mail in outbox was immediately sent.
    I have absolutely no idea how the port server was changed to 995 SSL on the mac, since no one but myself uses this computer and I certainly didn't change it.  Also, it doesn't at all explain the iphone doing the exact same thing a week ago, even tho that port said 110 when I checked.  Very strange indeed, but thanks for the help anyone who is reading this and I hope this helps anyone else having a similar problem....

  • HT4864 My outgoing email as stopped working when using Outlook for mac 2011. Any suggestions?

    My outgoing email as stopped working when using Outlook for mac 2011. I have deleted and reinstalled the account twice. I have 11 gig free on my iCloud account. The outgoing server is set at smtp.mail.me.com using port 587. If I was able to reinstall the account, I am positive I have the correct password. I can log into my iCloud accout using the same credentials.
    Any suggestions?

    I called Microsoft to fix my problem...for those maybe having the same issue, I was told by the Tech to use this outgoing server setting - p06-smtp.mail.me.com
    All is working fine since doing so.

  • HT1338 Outgoing mail suddenly stopped working:-(

    My outgoing mail suddenly stopped working - need help to reconfigure.
    Thanks

    I had that issue once too. I turned off my Internet sources (AirPort, ethernet connection) and then opened Mail. Mail actually opened that time. I went to my accounts, deleted them, closed Mail. I then turned on my Internet connection and reopened Mail, reimported my accounts, and everything has been fine since.
    Just a note: I was using IMAP, so everything I wanted on my Mail was on the server, so by deleting my accounts nothing changed. If you're using POP(3), you may experience different issues. By turning off your Internet connections, you can at least determine if Mail is having issues connecting to a server or if the bug is something else.
    Good luck - I'm sure others will have several different suggestions here.

  • Email Notifications stop working on all of my forms.  Help?

    Email Notifications stop working on all of my forms.  Help?

    This may be an indication that your incoming mail server has started treating all of those messages as SPAM, and is deleting them. Try setting those messages go to an outside e-mail account, submit a test submission of your form, and see what happens. It might at least help in tracking down the problem. If you find that the messages go to an outside account, work with your Postmaster to get the messages coming from FormsCentral whitelisted. It might still be something else, but this is something you can try to narrow the possibilities.
    Hope that helps,

  • Why has .mac email suddenly stopped working on my PowerPC G5?

    It's worked fine for a couple of years and now it asks for my password, which it will not acknowledge.   I checked my .mac account settings, etc and all seems fine.  The .mac account runs fine on my phone and thru iCloud.  But now not on my desktop.
    They're killing off MobileMe and I noticed that my desktop won't sync anymore with that either.  Related?    It appears that you will need OSX Lion to function fully with iCloud.    Let's see, I'm only 13 OSX upgrades behind........

    Please help!
    My email has stopped working on my HTC evo.
    It's done this before and i went to settings and followed these instructions then it worked great for a few months but now I can not receive email. I can send but incoming does not work.

  • Why did my Apple TV password stop working suddenly and why does changing my iTunes account password online not fix the problem?

    My iTunes account password suddenly stopped working. Strangely, it still works when I sign into iTunes but does not work when I try to purchase a movie through Apple TV. I followed the instructions to change my password and that still didn't fix the problem. Anybody encounter this? What's frustrating is that Apple wants to charge me a fee for tech support. You mean I have to pay them to help me give them more money to buy temporary content through my Apple TV? Anywho, please assist if you can.

    Have you tried restarting, the Apple TV, your router and your mac or PC.

    Normally I plug it in and insert a CD or DVD and it is immediately recognised, but today it took the DVD, made a 'whirring' noise for a few seconds and then stopped without being recognised.
