Why does the server list in mail not contain the details of the icloud server

When I check the preferences in mail for my email accounts, the icloud smtp server called "iCloud (iCloud)" shows as a choice for the outgoing server. When I click the drop down box there it's in the list. If I then click edit server list the next dialogue box that comes up shows all the possible outgoing servers except the icloud one. Does this mean that the account for my .icloud address will not use the icloud smtp server even though on the account dialogue it shows as being selected.

It does not mean that, the Apple server will be used if you check 'Use only this Server'

Why does my 7.0 iDVD theme not have sound playing in the menu?

Why does my 7.0 iDVD theme not have sound playing in the menu? When I click to get menu info, the "TravelAudio" audio is listed, but it won't play. The volume is not the issue, it just isn't there.

Hi
First of all - I would try to trash the iDVD pref file (or rather start a new User-account and log into this and re-try).

Why does my ipod list songs in not the right order

why does my ipod choose to mix the playing order of an album. no matter how many times i remove it from my ipod, when i put the album back on, it is played in a jumbled up order. i have asked itunes but they are ignoring me.

It's likely that your iPod's headphone jack needs replacing. You can opt to have Apple fix it for a pretty hefty price or you can look for a 3rd party repair company to do it instead.
Either way, it might not be a bad idea to bring it into your local Apple store to see if there is anything they can do for you.

Why does my blog's RSS feed not show all posts in the blog

I have a blog with some 38 posts in it yet when I view the RSS feed url I only see 16 of the posts. Stangely if I show this feed in Google Reader it will show all the posts but viewing the RSS feed directly in any browsershows any more than the 16.
I am wanting to show all so I can export the xml file to Wordpress blog for all my posts and then reimport back into a new BC blog.
I have checked the RSS items and confirmed that all the posts are included in this RSS feed.
The RSS feed is http://topleftdesigns.com.au/RSSRetrieve.aspx?ID=3330&Type=RSS20 on my blog at http://topleftdesigns.com.au/_blog/Building_a_Better_Online_Business
Thanks... Greg

No your not Sidney... after I posted the above question I posted a new "test" article to the blog and later in the evening I saw that the new post had been picked up by the RSS feed and at the same time it picked up all the other posts that were not previously showing. The workings of RSs is sometimes a mystery but anyhow all seems fine now for whatever reason.
Thanks for looking in... Greg

When I bootup the icon for Elements shows up in orange. It changes to green only when I've gone to Finder and clicked on Elelments under the Devices list. This is a recent development. The icon used to be green upon bootup. Does anyone know why ?

I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago. I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all. I can go weeks between syncs.
Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist. Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one.
Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff). Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for. It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

Cannot edit the smtp server list in Mail (Yosemite)

I am trying to edit the smtp server list in Mail. I am running Yosemite on my MacBook Pro and always get this message.
"The servers marked with alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved. Two servers cannot share the same address and authentication settings. Resolve the conflicts and try again."
There are no alert icons displayed!!! And I can not delete a server.
I need to change some smtp-settings and cannot edit anything.
Any ideas?

Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and try to recreate the account settings. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Why do I get the message "cannot get mail" when trying to connect to microsoft exchange server.

Why do I get the message "cannot get mail" when trying to connect to ms exchange server?

Hard to say. Has it ever worked? Maybe your account has mobile e-mail disabled. Maybe ActiveSync isn't set up properly on the server. maybe the correct ports are not open on the corporate firewall.
You will have to talk to your IT department.

Why does f12(preview in browser mode) not render the page correctly?

Why does f12(preview in browser mode) not render the page correctly? Instead when i go to the main or original file, it renders properly? It is drriving me nuts! HAHA! Can anyone help? mainly CSS problem, div overlapping but when viewing from original file on browser not through F12, it renders correctly. CS5.5 DW. Thanks!

just that one of it is a f12 (preview in browser) while the other one is going to the directory and clicking the html page by itself.
F12 is simply a hot key that launches your browser.
The only thing I can think of to explain this is that you have a local site folder someplace in addition to a testing server site.
When you hit preview, your testing server on the localhost/ is being called up in the browser.
When you open the HTML page directly, you're seeing the local site file with unparsed data.
Try disabling your Testing Server in Sites > Manage sites > Edit...

If you are using a USB hub, don't. Connect directly to the computer. Disconnect all other USB devices except for keyboard and mouse.

Why does my grandson's iPhone 5 not have the "None" option in his billing info and my iPad mini does. We both live in Canada.

Why does my grandson's iPhone 5 not have the "None" option in billing info? I have it on my iPad Mini and on my iPhone 4S. We both live in Canada within 20 minutes of each other.
I bought him $30.00 worth of iTunes gift cards, he loaded them, but it won't let him use them. It just goes to his previously entered Visa card which he no longer has and it won't let him unselect it either. Sounds like theft to me!

Because you that's not a supported bluetooth profile on the iPhone... In order to sync contacts with a handsfree system, the system needs to support the PBAP bluetooth profile. If it does, then the contacts will sync automatically.

Why does my iphoto continue to say " photos are being imported to the photo library" every time I try to close? I have not been imported and this has been keeping me from closing for weeks.

What Operating System are you running?
Mountain Lion there seem to be a glitch that continually ask this on quit.
You have Apple Menu ()>force quit>iPhoto

Why does a 128gb I-pad Air 2 only show 113gb in the capacity section of settings? Where has my other 15gb gone. Surely not on the OS. (It shows 111gb available which is the apps I have downloaded already)

Why does a 128gb I-pad Air 2 only show 113gb in the capacity section of settings? Where has my other 15gb gone. Surely not on the OS. (It shows 111gb available which is the apps I have downloaded already)

Along with what Skydiver119 has already told you, my 64GB iPad 3 only had 57GB of available storage out of the box, so if you keep doubling the amount of already used storage on the device as you go from 16 to 32 to 64 and then to 128GB - I assume that the figure that you see is correct. The iOS and preinstalled apps account for the storage that seems to be "missing" to you on your iPad.
The amount that you see in Settings>General>About>Capacity is in fact, the available storage capacity for your iPad. You can't change it. It is whatever it says it is in that setting.

Why does my iphone list our other devices in the bluetooth settings and what does the symbol at the bottom left hand corner of my lock screen mean?

I just upgraded by iPhone 5s to ios 8. Now I see my wife's IPhone 6 and our Ipad Air, which I also upgraded to IOS 8. Why does it do that. Also, when my phone is on the lock screen, and someone access safari on the ipad, I see a symbol at the bottom left corner of my phone screen. What is that for?

I am searching for answers to this as well. My daughter and I just started seeing what looks like a message bubble or a safari tab in the left corner Of the lock screen. We can also see something in the multitasking area. If I am on safari, she sees the icon and can touch it. It takes her to the safari page I am looking at! Also, I was typing in a group message, she touched the icon and it created a group message to those same people on her Phone. can just anyone invade my privacy like this? Or is it just because we are linked somehow? Can I turn this off?

How can I control SMTP server list in Mail?

I've seen a lot of discussion about e.g. deleting servers, but it often includes smug replies like "click the delete button" when there is often no such button. I have found a possible 'get around' to this particular problem by changing the server data to something that doesn't exist, save that, then select the server again from the list and hey presto, there is now a Delete button you can use. But again, that is not the full story because if that server is used as the primary server for any other account, you cannot modify the data.
Not only that, but you CANNOT simply swap servers so that e.g. an account uses one of the other servers as its primary server. Unless I'm missing something major here, it is NOT possible to move servers. You can change the data for the server to be exactly the same as another server, but that just means you now have an identical duplicate. Once a server entry has been created, it is an independent data entity.
So I seem to have several problems here.
1. A server cannot be deleted if it's in use as a primary for any account.
2. Servers cannot be moved, i.e. swapped between 'Primary' and 'Other'
3. Simply editing the server data does not 'merge' it with any other entry that may have the exact same data.
4. When creating an account, you cannot pick the outgoing SMTP server from the list of ones already created. Simply entering the same data as one that already exists may use that existing server, but may create a new duplicate. I have seen both of these occur and once there's a duplicate, you cannot get rid of it.
I want 3 accounts to all use the same 'Primary' server and also have the same 'Other' server. IOW, only 2 actual servers. After the first 2 accounts are created, that's what I have. Somehow they seem to be able to 'share' the same servers. But when I create the third account and enter the same data for its SMTP server as the others use as their primary (i.e. exactly the same process as when creating the second account), for some reason it does NOT use the existing matching server and I now get a third server created. I simply cannot get around this since whatever I do, each of the duplicates is used as a primary and so cannot be deleted. If I could swap them around so that the third account was using another account as its primary, then I could delete the duplicate and all would be well, but as pointed out above, that's not possible.
I'm hoping that I'm simply wrong about all this and it is actually possible to do what I currently believe it impossible. Can anyone explain how to actually control this server list?
