Why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

Two things, first see if it shows up in "Apple > About This Mac > More Info.. > Disc Burning" . If you still see it there the system still recognizes it but it isn't responding. Next do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
Hopefully this will reset the power to the drive.

  • Pre will not load emails (IMAP) unless I restart the phone..everyday!

    When I bought the phone back in June, I set up my personal email as IMAP...it worked fine for months. Within the last two months or so my emails will not load all the time, now I am at a point of restarting everyday to get my emails synced. And maybe it will sync twice a day regardless of how many times I check for them.
    Gmail account seems to work fine so I know it is a setting in IMAP that I need to change, but why now? Don't understand!

    Have you tried removing that IMAP account and adding back. This clears many issues up.

  • Why won't my iMac find my new MacBook on the network for Migration?

    My older iMac (7,1) can't find my new MacBook Pro on the network. I've tried two different WiFi networks. I've ensured both machines are current in their SW. I can't use Ethernet because I didn't buy the Thunderbolt to Ethernet connector. The MacBook sees the iMac, but the iMac just keeps searching and after a while the MacBook displays a message that the iMac is not responding.
    I believe I'm following the Migration Assistant directions properly, starting the app on the iMac and selecting migrate to a Mac, and then starting Migration Assistant on the MacBook and selecting migrate from a Mac or PC.
    It used to be that I could connect the two via FireWire and start up the older Mac while holding down the "t" key and the newer machine would see the older machine as a disk drive. Without FireWire on the new machine could I use a USB connection the same way?

    Lessons Learned:
    Thunderbolt to FireWire is only for FireWire 800 so doesn't help connect to older FireWire 400 disks. (Apple Store employee says there is a FireWire 800 to FireWire 400 converter, they just didn't have it in stock.) My iMac has a FireWire 800 port, but I didin't have a FireWire 800 cable. (I'm opposed to buying one time use things, like the Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter, FireWire 800 to 400 adapter, or a FireWire 800 cable.)
    Be sure to pay attention to migration direction. You can migrate either direction, but you probably don't want to migrate from a new machine to an old one.
    If you have the same user id on both machine you cannot migrate into the user id you're logged into on the new machine. Might be better to first create a dummy id on the new machine, migrate all old id's over, and then delete the dummy id. Obviously I didn't do this.
    If you have a wireless router with multiple ethernet ports you can connect the two machines to the router, ignore the wireless network, and connect via ethernet. I could not connect the two machines just running an ethernet cable between the two. (I think someone suggested that.)

  • Why won't my iMac print consistantly to my compatible HP 6500A? I've checked for updates and downloaded the lasted software...still can't print. All my other Mac devices find the printer but the iMac is hit and miss. I'm operating the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.

    When you say hit and miss do you mean sometimes you print a whole document with no problems, or do you mean each document has problems? This is from HP's website for your printer:
    Your sig says 10.6.7 but your message says 10.7. So if it's really Lion, this printer isn't officially supported. Elsewhere on HP's site it says updated drivers will be available on your Mac via Software Update. Have you run that recently?

  • Why will IMAP email not send from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail even though it is configured the same as on my old Macbook (and emails are sending just fine on the old computer)?

    I can receive but cannot send IMAP email on my 1&1 mail account from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail on my new Macbook Pro. The account is set up the same port, password, username, server name as on my old Macbook and emails are sending just fine on the old computer.
    When I hit send on the new Macbook Pro running Yosemite I get this message:
    "The connection to host ... on port 993 failed.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
    It shows the server as (offline)
    I've tried erasing and typing in the password.  I've tried both checking and unchecking Automatically detect and maintain account settings. Still cannot send.
    I also have a Gmail account and it is working...

    email service uses an Incoming Server and an Outgoing Server. Mac Mail makes access to the Incoming Server(s) obvious, and hides the settings for the outgoing Server(s). A quick and easy way to get access to the Outgoing Servewr settings is to use:
    Window > Connection Doctor ...
    ... then click on the red light for the Server that is not working for you to see its settings.

  • Certificate for the website, was going to copy and send an email to the website to ask about the certificate. I got my cursor just inside the pop up and the whole computer shut down. Why what happened i am not sure about going to the website now....

    If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
    If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

    This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

    The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

    Why won't my videos play? They start on the device that they are on, then stop and I get an error message...An error occured loading this content. This comes up on all of my computers. I reset the Apple TV to Factory Settings and still get the same message.

  • TS2634 Why won't my screen orient for a movie on the dock?

    Why won't my screen orient for a movie on the dock?  It used to.

    Are you by any chance using Netfix when this happens. If you are, I believe that this changed in their last app update. The movies will only work in landscape mode.
    If you are not using Netfix and you are using the videos app, close the app and reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why won't my ipod pause when I turn off the ignition in my car? It used to.

    Why won't my ipod pause when I turn off the ignition in my car? It used to.

    How is the iPod connected to your car stereo?, (via earphone jack or iPod dock connector)
    By "pause" you mean that now it is playing thru your car stereo, while previously, it stopped playing thru your car stereo, when you switch off the ignition?
    Anyway, I don't think it is an iPod problem, but you can try the
    iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    refer to this Apple supprt Article on the 5Rs
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    This reset wont delete any of your songs, just put all the settings back to when you first took it out of the box.
