@Yahoo emails: not arriving to Mail (but work on IPad & iPhone)

It doesn't seem to make much sense; but I have problems with my my @yahoo emails coming into Mail - but only on my MacBook Pro (OSX10.10.2), other devices do work. So in brief:
1) Email can send out via Mail (Password used for Outbound authentication) - but the same password entered, and emails don't arrive in to my account.
2) Emails will both arrive and send from my iPhone and IPad (IoS) devices.
Efforts to re-set:
- I have logged out and then in multiple times on the webmail.
- I have changed the password on Webmail access, and then copy and pasted across to Mail. (outgoing mail still works, but inbound does not)
- I have changed it via Mail / Accounts and also Mail / Preferences / Accounts
This has happened before about 4 weeks ago, but then came to life after three days.
I suspect a Yahoo server issue, albeit that i can't work out why emails can come to IOS, but not to OS X - but then again i'm no expert so there may be a reason?!

I have a Mac running 10.9.2. My wireless mouse with not scroll in mail but works fine in other applications? Any suggestions?

I have a Mac running 10.9.2. My apple wireless mouse will not scroll in Mail but works fine in other applications.
Any suggestions?

First, see this discussion. If the solution suggested there doesn't work for you, continue.
If you've installed a Mail plugin called "Mail Unread Menu" and you know how to remove it, please do that, then quit and relaunch Mail. Test. Otherwise, see below.
Back up all data.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
*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 (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Mail stopped working on iPad & iPhone, but not G5, after installing iOS 7.

Here we have a G5, an iPhone-4 and an iPad all linked to the same POP account. Mail fetching on all three devices had been working fine.
Earlier this week (10/23 or 10/24), however, Mail on both the iPhone and the iPad quit working shortly after our having installed iOS 7 on each of them. This could be a coincidence, but Mail on a G5 running 10.5.8 linked to the same account is still fetching and sending mail just fine.
Every time we swipe down on the message list (the gesture to fetch new mail) in Mail on the iPad, an error message appears,
Cannot Get Mail
The user name or password for
"Primary Mail Account" is incorrect
Settings | OK
An analogous gesture on the iPhone produces the same message.
But Mail on the G5 (running 10.5.8) still works fine to fetch mail from the same POP account.
Here are some details:
About two weeks ago, we installed iOS 7 on the iPad and the iPhone. Mail continued to work after the installation.
About a week later, last Wednesday, 10/23, the iPad went through a spontaneous installation event, in which the multilingual series of "Hello!" images familiar to those who install Mac operating systems floated across the screen. Apparently, this event installed iOS 7.0.3. There followed a short series of initialization dialogs, then everything seemed to work OK.
Except that Mail wasn't working. This could be a coincidence, but Mail on this iPad has not worked since last Wednesday. The last message received is dated last Wednesday.
We don't know whether the iPhone went through a similar event, but Mail quit working on it, as well. Mail on this iPhone now gets the same message, above, as on the iPad. The last message received by the iPhone was last Thursday, 10/24. The iPhone's iOS is now 7.0.2. The iPhone says that iOS 7.0.3 is downloaded, but not yet installed.
We compared the settings for Mail on the G5, on which Mail is still working, against the settings on the iPad and the iPhone. They all seem pretty much the same.
Have you heard of anyone else with this problem, or might you have an idea how to research it?

That worked! A couple of notes for anyone with the same problem:
I thought I'd be clever and create a new account before deleting the old one. That didn't work, as "Settings" kept insisting that the account had already been created. I had actually to delete the old account and create a new one from nada.
I was careful to write down all the settings parameters first. Even so, it took a few tries to get everything spelled right. Fortunately, "Settings" checked everything carefully and its messages pointed to the right places.
I still got the same error message the first time i relaunched Mail. However, this time I chose the "OK" option. Since then and thereafter it seems to be working.
Thanks for your help, lizdance40.

Airport Express A1088 Not Working With iTunes 10 AirPlay but works with iPad & iPhone

Hi,
I'm really hoping someone can help me. I have just got an ADSL connection at home and have started using my Airport Express I've had for years but haven't used, model number A1088. I can use the Airport Express to use AirPlay from my iPhone, iPod and iPad. iTunes 10 on my 2010 13" MacBook Pro recognises the Airport Express as an AirPlay device, however when I attempt to play music through remote speakers using the Airport Express as the AirPlay device I receive the error message "An error occurred while connecting to AirPlay device "emptyk86 Airport Express". The network connection failed". I have performed numerous hard resets and resets within the Airport Utility, to no avail. I could accept that as the Aiport Express is quite old now, that it could be broken, but as it works for all iPhones, iPods, and iPads I don't understand what I'm doing wrong!
Thanks for your time.

The same thing started happening to me this morning. I have an old Airport Express, New MacBook Pro, recently updated to Lion, have the latest version of iTunes. Everything worked fine until this morning. I was playing music, stopped it, and when I tried to resume, got the error message. I turned evertying off and on and reset everything. The problem persisted. However, I had no problem playng music from my iPad library through the system using the iPad.
I have a remote app on the iPad and, oddly enough, found that I could play anything (playlists, songs, etc.) from the MacBook Pro iTunes library through the system using the iPad remorte app. Once I had that running, I went back to the MacBook Pro and found I had full functionality with iTunes on the MacBook Pro. I closed and reopened iTunes a couple of times on the MacBook Pro to test it, and found that sometimes it would work fine and sometimes I would get the error message. When I got the error message, I went through the procedure with the iPad to get it going, and that worked most of the time. When it did not work the first time, I found that playing a song from the iPad library first and then going to the remote app seemed to help.
For sure, this is more a workaround than a solution, but maybe someone who understands how these things work might recognize the problem and propose a solution.

HT3209 iTunes Movies not playing in MacBook Pro, but work on iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.

I have purchased several HD movies from iTunes and none of them work on my MacBook Pro (purchased in 2010). I keep getting a message that says my media player doesn't support the videos. How is this possible if I legally purchased these through iTunes and they work on all of my other devices? Any help is greatly appreciated!

correct me if i am wrong, but you do not get that option to convert movie to ipod/iphone, just to acc that i recall.

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. Help!

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. I've been on the phone with yahoo mail and they've verified that my account settings are correct and I can send email from yahoo. I can receive emails via Mac mail, but just can't send them. An error message appears that says:
"Sending the message content to the server failed." I can't send emails from my Mac desktop, iphone or ipad. Any suggestions! Help! I'm a Mac rookie and so frustrated! Thanks.

Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.

I use a yahoo account for my e-mail which worked fine until I changed my password a few weeks ago. I now keep getting a message up telling me to insert my password again. i know I'm putting in the right password but this driving me to distraction!

Hello,
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.

The outgoing mail server is rejecting mail from your network address. Typically that happens when your mail service provider is also your ISP, and you connect to it from another network. The SMTP server will allow connections without a password from anywhere, but it will only relay mail from within the ISP's network. It could also be that your account on the server has expired or been suspended.
If you need to send mail from outside your ISP's network, use an independent mail service provider. I don't have a specific recommendation.

I have Yahoo mail (POP) account. Mine is working fine at present. I do occasionally get asked for password while sending mail. I have had your issue in the past and it usually clears up in a few hours. Sometimes I sign out and then back in and it starts working again.

After updating to iOS 6.0.1 "Yahoo! Server Unavailable" but works fine on iPhone. Help please!

after updating to iOS 6.0.1 "Yahoo! Server Unavailable" but works fine on iPhone. Help please!

GIve it time. Yahoo has been have persistently random issues in past weeks. If you don't want to wait, you can try deleting and readding your account info.
The issue is on yahoo's end and all their updates/upgrades.

I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.

I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.
Programs (Safari, mail, messages) keep crashing, mail will not delete properly (some will keep popping into my inbox again for no reason!!!), slow, settings lock up etc. etc.
This only seemed to become an issue once I updated to ios 5.1 and funnily also affected my Ipad even though i hadn't updated the software yet. I have since updated the software on my ipad thinking it might help too but that only made things worse!! So I am not sure if it's an ICloud issue, but when i try to disable ICloud my devices lock up as well.
The battery life is also shocking!!
I have hard reset both devices, restored both devices, reset the setting and tried a whole host of other suggestions (like closing background programs) on this forum buit nothing works and i am tearing my hair out.
I looked in the phone and ipad log and there do seem to be low memory reports though i don't know why these are occuring now when they never have before??
I don't know if I can restore the old operating system (If I can please let me know how). The phone or ipad are not jailbroken.

but you should have a backup in itunes.
Every time you sync your iOS device iTunes creates a backup. go check if its there, iTunes Preferences >Devices. and there you should see if you have a backup, and in case from which date the backup is.
And ofcourse you can get your icloud data back by just logging in with your Appleid under icloud in settings on the iphone.
But anyway, if the iPhone works when you restor it as new: try adding your backup, and see if the issue comes back. And experiment with your backup and try to work out what is causing the issue, my guess is that its some app! Good Luck!
