Re: Second email address problems
I am afraid my ignorance is abysmal, Tim. I do not have my own domain. I asked the provider (and perhaps I should not have said server?) for a second address. Then what I have done is go to Mail Preferences, clicked on the add account and followed the Wizard. Occasionally it is now asking for the password for the account which it does not accept. I am working on a Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion. Perhaps I have to contact the provider tomorrow (It's a small one not open till then.) Thank you of your suggestion.

You can check that the email account is set up correctly by your ISP (and that you have the correct password) by using webmail to access the account. I presume that your ISP provides webmail - I do not know of any who do not. First send a test message to your new email address and then use webmail to see if it has been received. Your ISP's web site should have instructions for using webmail if you have not used it before - it is similar to Gmail so you should be able to work it out. If you can get in to the account and the message is there, then the problem is in the settings in your mail program on your computer. Follow Tim's suggestions to get it working.

cannot connect iPhone to lap top
I have been trying to delete a large group of photos on my iPhone (4 with ios 7.1.2). They were originally transferred from my MackBook Pro ( 10.10.3, build date about mid 2010 but refurbished). They are listed under “from my Mac As far as I can tell from searching the internet, there is no way this can be done. Is that correct? However, when trying to connect the phone to the laptop via Blue tooth I get “device not recognised on both devices. I tried a cable connection and there is no obvious signs of connection. The same phone connected immediately to a car equipped with bluetooth and I could make hands free calls. Any ideas? If I can get connection my strategy will be to replace the folder on the phone with a new folder from the MacBook with only one small photo.

Create eBooks with Flip PDF
Those who were present at the WAMUG meeting on Tuesday will remember me talking about Flip PDF. It’s one of several ways to create effective and dynamic eBooks for and device or platform. As we found, it normally sells for $99 or thereabouts, but if you want to look further into this for about 20% of that price, have a look at http://dealfuel.com/seller/flip-pdf-page-flip-software/#anchor1 The page has a demo of an actual eBook created with this software. If you are involved in any way with presenting sales material on the web or indeed any form of electronic marketing, this software is well worth a look, and certainly worth grabbing at this special price.

Re: cannot connect iPhone to lap top
Hi Bill It is my understanding that you can only connect via WiFi or cable and this is controlled via iTunes. I don't believe Bluetooth is an option.

Re: Second email address problems
Okay, There are two ways to view the mail account information. One is via MailPreferences Accounts. There is no wizard in this section. The other way is MailAccounts. This way there IS a wizard. Having two methods can be confusing, but there is an important distinction in what they each do. One is more automated, hence the Wizard. It can get things wrong tho. What I suggest you do, given this new email address is from the same ISP, internet service provider, as your first email account is to go to MailPreferencesAccounts and click on the email account that works properly, and take some screen prints Apple-Shift-4 and use the mouse to select the small area of the screen you want to take a screen capture. Do this for Account Information, Mailbox Behaviours and Advanced. You’ll only find this in MailPreferencesAccounts, not MailAccounts. Then go to the new problematic account and replicate the settings, apart from the obvious ones of providing the new email address and password, and giving it a new Description. See how that goes. What does right clicking on the warning triangle say? Not sure if this does show up something, but it’s worth a try. The other troubleshooting tip is to go to WindowActivity in Mail, and that might show where the account is getting stuck. It’s also interesting see all the behind the scenes activity that goes on with Mail.
