Thanks for the URL. I've bookmarked it.

As Cheryl suggested I logged onto both of my Apple IDs in turn and confirmed that mail could be sent from both. Returned to Mail and there was no improvement. After some more fooling around with account settings, I achieved the configuration in the attached screen grab. And after I made the...

It sounds like the exact same problem. It has been intermittent and so I think I've solved it but then it recurs. This time around it's lasting several days so that's why I'm seeking help.

I have logged onto one of the addresses and sent mail, but that was only so I could get an email sent. I'll take your suggestion and systematically visit both Apple IDs.

I have been having trouble getting the Apple Mail app on the iMac to send. Everything had been working perfectly for months and then a couple of months ago for no reason the server started sometimes rejecting my outgoing emails. This was intermittent: most of the time it worked but then for a...

Mac OS 10.13.2 on brand new iMac, and 10.13.1 on MacBook Pro mid 2009. I would like to sync the Photos library on my iMac with my wife's MacBook Pro. This library is already synched with my iPad via iCloud, both machines using the same iCloud account. My wife's MacBook is associated with her...

iPad Air 2, iOS 11.1.2 The photos in albums transferred from Mac Photos to iOS Photos are sorted correctly, but the All Photos view in iOS is sorted according to I-have-no-idea-what. I see photos taken in 1960 and scanned in 2007 sorted in with photos taken in 2017 (and many other years). And...

Photos Version 3.0, the one that comes with High Sierra, fixes one of the major problems with earlier versions, which was that is sorted photos according to date of file creation rather than date when the photo was taken. That made a mess of scans from negatives and slides, which would be sorted...

It's all solved. This is for the record in case someone else gets into a similar tangle. Three things were needed: Delete the existing iCloud accounts from my computer, remove the old Primary account from the Apple servers, and then name one of the formerly secondary accounts as the primary...

Thanks for trying but I am already very familiar with the change-your-password pages. I can sign into iCloud.com and get into the management page. The problem is I can't open the System Preferences => iCloud page on my iMac to set up Services. All the Services are grayed out and System...

I got myself thoroughly entangled in multiple iCloud accounts and need help getting out. Here is the problem: When I open System Preferences => iCloud a dropdown says "Back to My Mack can't start because of a problem with your account." Click OK and this pane vanishes. However, all the listed...

No, the Verizon address IS the Apple ID. Maybe it doesn't matter what the ID is. So do I. But any decent ISP should filter spam. Are you saying that iCloud does not? I don't see anything on that page about setting up aliases or mail sub-accounts. I already have two Apple IDs, one dating...

I have been getting my email via Verizon FiOS POP and Mac Mail.app, but now Verizon is turning its email servers over to AOL and there are several things about this that I dislike, not least of which is AOL. Therefore, I am considering abandoning Verizon email and moving all my email activity to...

Disabling Little Flocker was a good idea but unfortunately it didn't help. I went to the admin account and tried opening iPhoto with Option-Command held and iPhoto went ahead and opened. Then it hung, presumably because there is no iPhoto library in the admin account, but really it shouldn't do...

File Fault: no Fast User Switching: yes it's no but no, no other users. One thing: I installed Little Flocker a few days ago and some strange things have been happening. None with iPhoto, unless this is the first one. Now you're making me think. I have iPhoto permissions = rwc everywhere in...

By "nothing at all" I meant with regard to iPhoto. Yes, it minimizes the windows on the main screen, but not the one open on the second monitor.

Dropbox was taking forever to sync, so I was keeping the pulldown open to see how many files were yet to go. The pulldown shows the last few files to have been synched, and at one point I noticed a couple of photos that I didn't recognize. Dropbox gives the name of each file, and I found them in...

Today I discovered a couple of orphan photos. These were taken, imported, and deleted a year and a half ago. They do not exist as far as the iPhoto user interface is concerned, and iPhoto Trash is empty, but these and lord only knows how many more orphan photos are cluttering the library. Is...

As I reported elsewhere in this thread, on Christmas morning the computer was acting normal. Either the reinstallation of the OS from the Recovery partition solved the problem or else the computer angels sent me a Christmas present.

Sorry about sending an empty Email yesterday. I was using Firefox on the iPad and pushed the wrong button and you don't want to hear about all that. Then Safari wouldn't send the message because it said it couldn't access the server. I am now back home and I hope this posting will go. Your...
