Why won't Safari get mail from my cable provider

After I downloaded the last security update Dec. 1, I have not been able to get mail in Safari, although it sends mail fine. When I click on "Get Mail", a message comes up saying "POP server rejected my password". So, as requested, I typed it in again, but still got that same message. I checked Preferences, and everything seemed in order there, although I did type in the info again, hoping that would work. Any ideas?
If the Security Update caused this problem, I am going to be very reluctant to downlaod any more.
Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Recently installed 60 G harddrive

I'm disappointed that no one responded to my guestion about not getting Safari mail on Dec. 6. As it turns out, by taking Mail out of automatic mode and just downloading the mail from my server manually, it will transfer my mail from Charter (and Charter is a bit archaic). So, at least now I get mail in my Safari Mailbox. It's a relief, because I have really liked using Safari for all my internet activities. After reading about all the problems people seem to have with Safari . . I guess I'm lucky . . . so far. it is good to see that so many people are interested in helping others with computer problems. dgm

  • HT1277 why can't i get mail from iCloud on macbook pro 2011?

    When  I click mail on system preferences (mail & notes) it starts then unchecks. This happens in both mail settings when I try to set up new account and in iCloud

    Hi, do you have old settings from MobileMe or dot Mac maybe?
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
              •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 993
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
              •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 587
              •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

  • Why won't pdf files print from Safari?

    why won't pdf files print from Safari? I get blank pages. They print fine from Firefox. OS X 10.8.4

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • TS3276 can't download mail from windows live account.  I have deleted and re-set up the account but still won't work.  I can go online and access with no problem or get mail from other apple devices.

    Not able to get mail from windows live account.

    Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
    There apparently are two ways to address this:
    (1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
    (i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
    This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
    (2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
    Open a Windows Explorer window to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
    Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
    Right-click and paste
    Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
    After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
    ''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

  • Why won't safari 7.0.2 open pdf files

    why won't safari 7.0.2 open pdf files

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Why i can't send "MAIL FROM:"?

    i wonder why i failed to send "MAIL FROM:" while commnunicating with the server using SMTP protocol?
    my code is:
    socket = new java.net.Socket(strServer, 25);
    dis = new java.io.DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
    dos = new java.io.DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
    //send Mail from command to the server
    dos.writeBytes("MAIL FROM: " + "[email protected]" + "\r\n");
    response = readLastLine(dis); //get the last line of the reply
    if (!response.startsWith("250")) { //if ok, response should starts with
    //250, otherwise, wrong
    destroyResource(socket, dis, dos);
    return;
    when i debug the program, i found the response starts with "500"
    i don't know why?
    can somebody give me the answer?

    Wouldn't it be easier to just use the JavaMail API rather than
    writing your own SMTP protocol support?
    What message does the server include with its response?

    My mail account is set up properly, I can connect to the Internet, but I cannot get mail from the Mail app on my iPad.

    Hello echo1946
    Start with the first article to troubleshoot the issue of not getting mail on your iPad. When you get online using safari, check to see if you can log into webmail. Also keep in mind, depending on the account that mail sometimes might not come in if it is a POP account as it may have already been download elsewhere.

  • I set up two identities, the default & one more. How to get mail from the second one?

    I have two different e-mail addresses that I want to get mail from. So the main/default one worked just fine. So I went to options, account settings, identities and set up the second one. But this second one doesn't appear on the start page and still when I Get Mail, it only brings in the mail from the default one. So what do I do?

    You do not place your second account in Identities.
    You go to the Menu Bar and select '''File-New-Existing Mail Account''' and add it there.
    No Menu Bar? Press the alt key.
    If using the '''AppMenu button''', click that and select''' New Message-Existing Mail Account'''

    Why won't my ipad charge from my computer when my iphone does? also where have my facetime and contacts icons gone?

    A computer USB port does not provide enough power to charge and run the iPad at the same time but it will charge it if the iPad is turned off.  It will take about four times as long to charge than with the iPad charger.
    The Contacts icon may be inside a folder, such as Utilities.
    There is no Facetime icon.  Start a Facetime link from a contact.
