Re: Corrupt files on Mac Pro

Hi Pat, You can’t send or receive Mail if you are not connected to the Internet! Do you have an Airport Wireless Network or are you connecting by Ethernet Cable? How does the MacPro normally connect to your Network, by Wi-Fi (Airport Wireless Network) or via an Ethernet Cable? Is the iPad connected to your Network by Wi-Fi or is it connected to a 3G (Cellular Network)? Check your Network setup on the MacPro.

Re: Corrupt files on Mac Pro
Oh Little Snitch, you have probably realise Pat, by my posts to WAMUG re Little Snitch that I don’t have any time for him. Unless you monitor him vigorously, he creates more problems than he does any good! If I had a dollar for every time I’ve corrected problems on Mac computers that have been caused by having Little Snitch installed, I would be a rich lady ;-) Usually my first question to a client who is having Network problems is “Do you have Little Snitch installed”! I have no idea why I never asked you in the first place … probably thought you would not have installed him ;-) Glad you are back online and up and running again.

Open the Network pane of System Preferences, highlight Airport, click Assist Me, and then click Diagnostics then Choose Airport, then the wireless Network you want to join, type in the Password for the Network. Let me know what messages you receive please. Diagnostics said the settings had changed, said to restart device. Said airport was connected, settings were correct, but ISP failed, Internet failed, Server failed.

I tried sending it from Bill's PC laptop, but they won't accept it from this unknown sender. Would you forward it to them, please? That would be much appreciated. To WAMUG, I'm having a very bad day. It started by not being able to access the internet. Had a long chat with iiNet and established there is nothing wrong with our connection. Second problem - in checking Mail accounts, I opened Keychain. It gave me the first 2 passwords with no argument, then suddenly, it demanded my keychain password and refused to accept it. So I tried using the iPad. At first, it connected to both the internet and Mail, but now it seems to have caught the infection, whatever it is, and no longer will connect. It puts up the message 'Incorrect username or password'. Then I got out an old Mac laptop that had been in retirement. Exactly the same thing happened - at first, it would connect with the internet, and I began composing this letter. Then things got strange again, and it no longer connects. I will transfer the letter to a text file and transport it by Flash Disk to my husband's PC and try to sent it.

Re: Corrupt files on Mac Pro
Hi Pat, Have you tried restarting your Modem / Router? Then see if you can connect to the Internet Is Mail asking for your “Login” Password, or the Mail Account’s Password? If it is asking for your “Login” Password: Once you can connect to the Internet try this: 1. Open Keychain Access (within the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder). 2. Choose Keychain First Aid from the Keychain Access menu. And in the resulting window enter your administratorʼs password, enable the Verify option, and click Start. With luck, some red entries will appear in the window, indicating that thereʼs a problem with your keychain. 3. Enable the Repair option and click Start. With the same measure of luck, those keychain problems will be repaired and Mail will no longer ask you for a password. If Mail is asking for the Mail Account’s Password: 1. Quit Mail Application 2. Open Keychain Access in Menu Bar at the top right (if it's not showing on the top Menu of the desktop) is in Applications Utilities Keychain Access.app 3. Delete the Keychain entry for your Mail Account. To delete this entry: A)Under Keychains (left column) select ‘Login’ Under Category (left column) select ‘Passwords’ Scroll down to ‘mail.x.com’ (what ever your Mail Account is) then ‘select it’ B) With ‘mail.x.com’ selected (highlighted) Press ‘Delete’ on your keyboard C) Then in the resulting window “Are you sure you want to delete “‘mail.x.com” from the login keychain?” Click ‘Delete’ 4. Quit Keychain Access Keychain Access Quit Keychain Access 5. Then Open Mail and it will ask for your Password. enter your correct password and make sure you have selected (ticked) “Remember this password in my Keychain” You should now be able to download your email, Keychain access will do the email password in the “background”. You should not receive that message again. -- If it continues to, you could try deleting and recreating the account. 1. Before you do that, select the account in Mailʼs Mailboxes list, hold down the Control key, and click on the accountʼs Inbox. 2. Choose Archive Mailbox from the menu that appears and choose a place to save your archive when prompted. Doing this ensures that the messages for the account arenʼt completely vaporized when you delete the account. Do the same for the accountʼs Sent messages any other Mailboxes you might have. 3. Go to Mail - Preferences - Accounts, select the troublesome account in the Accounts list, and click the Minus (–) button to delete the account. 4. Click the Plus (+) button and recreate the account.
