Outgoing servers in iPhone Mail

[Peter Meyer]

Can anyone confirm that my experience with sending email on the 3G  
network is more general than mine, alone?


My iPhone contract is with Telstra but my current ISP is People  
Telecom. Therefore I have the need to specify two outgoing mail  
servers: mail.bigpond.com for the 3G network and  
smtp.per.people.net.au for WiFi connections. Under Settings>mail  
etc>accounts>outgoing mail server it is necessary to set a Primary  
Server (smtp.people in  my case) and 'Other SMTP  
Servers' (mail.bigpond) and there it states that:


"If Mail is unsuccessful using the primary server, it will try the  
other SMTP servers in succession."


However my experience is that with the Primary Server toggled  'ON',  
using a 3G connection, Mail will try to send an email and, after some  
delay fail with the message: 'The server rejected one of the  
recipient's addresses (sic). The message has been placed in the  
Outbox' If the Primary Server is toggled 'OFF' in this configuration  
the message is sent but not as quickly as with a WiFi connection where  
the Primary Server is toggled 'ON' It appears as if contact with the  
Primary Server is still attempted before the Secondary SMTP server is  
used. (so does OFF not really mean OFF?)
I have set up an account with bigpond as the Primary and the same  
situation is seen in reverse ie: under WiFi if bigpond is toggled OFF  
an email is sent after a delay but not at all if bigpond is toggled ON.


Having to manually configure the primary SMTP server's state whenever  
the network connection is changed is seemingly contradictory to what  
the Settings note about 'Other SMTP Servers' implies.


I had hoped that the upgrade to iPhone 3.0 would resolve the problem  
but it hasn't. Nor has restoring everything 'as a new phone' (ie  
without any previous settings) made any difference.
I have spent a fair bit of time talking to Telstra and Apple and, in  
fact it was only in the past few days that I worked out the above  
solution and was able to send emails using 3G connections although I'm  
sure there wasn't this difficulty when I first set up the phone's  
email. I want (need?) to send very few emails using a 3G connection  
but this is, nevertheless, pretty frustrating :(


At no stage has there been any difficulty receiving email or  
connecting to the net on either 3G or WiFi connections

iPhone 3G 16B Sales Blitz

[Leon Shaffer]

Hey All,

Was doing some shopping around last night to see if I could get some  
pricing info on the new 3Gs and the Allphones/Telechoice staff member  
(can't remember which on it was) let slip that Virgin Mobile are doing  
a sales blitz on remaining stocks over the weekend for the old 16GB  
model so might be worth a look is you are happy with the old model.  
Sorry no pricing or plan was given. I believe someone in the know has  
posted something on the whirlpool forum.


PS: No pricing info yet on the new 3Gs

Re: Telstra NextG tethering does work already

[Susan Hastings]

Hi Peter, I did actually eventually get it set up by briefly turning  
on data roaming, then setting it up, then when I turned off data  
roaming, it stayed on.


I haven't found that syncing with iTunes switches it off - so far.

cheers, Susan.

I don't know if you are saying that the message to contact Telstra

bother to try Bluetooth, only USB. I only played with it briefly.  
The one cautionary message I received was that mentioned on the  
andrew.harrison.org page about not being authenticated. He says this  
means he's not a mobile phone carrier. That sounded plausible ;)


An ethernet connection was established. I did have to renew the DHCP  
lease for it to work and quit tethering via Settings>General>Network  
again. There may be another, more obvious way of removing the  
'Internet Tethering" bar from the phone's screen …
And, of course I previously had to disable the automatic syncing in  
the iTunes preferences!

We could guess that over time you may have updated OS as well and  
carried through a lot of old

I would search your USER ( Library ) for anything of Firefox and ditch  
it all , then do a Firefox reinstal


Note some items may go under the name  Mozilla , or Firefox Mozilla

Hi Severin,

Buy your wife a new computer ;-)
But then the old iMac's are great, I have one sitting in my computer  
room, I can't bear getting rid of it.


Seriously though ... it could be the PMU
It's a little button that you have to press with a blunt object  
(pencil). If you are unsure where it is & how to reset the PMU, have a  
look at this:

Severin

Unfortunately a new computer will probably not be so trustworthy !

Have you tried the Zap Pram technique ,
and how old is the internal battery .

Had a funny like that recently with a G5 and actually had to reset the  
time

manually before I could get things back to normal !

It actually would not connect to the net until the time was current .

I have the time locked in on overseas time server so I do not normally  
see if time has
dropped out after the power has been off . I have to guess the G5  
battery has seen it's best days .


Have fun

I suspect it's because I don't have iPhoto '09, which won't run in

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi John

You just download it from here:-

It says "4" but when you download it, it's 4.0.1.

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel

Re: Telstra NextG tethering does work already

[Susan Hastings]

Hi, I had a look at the site in Shay's email, and the instructions  
describe the process I followed, except mine was for Telstra. I  
already had MMS working, installing the config file allowed for the  
tethering (although I didn't get bluetooth tethering working, despite  
having followed the steps.

Since installing Safari 4 I find that I cannot log on to bank sites. I  
can input account number and password but the box to click labelled

Re: Hit counter / Sandvox - oops wrong link!

[Pedro]

Thanks Reg

I had a look at the link and it looks great. (nice wedding)

I must admit I love iWeb as it is so easy to use, is intuitive and  
looks great. I have had a good look at the Karelia
website and I like what I see.  I may download the trial version and  
have a play on the weekend. I would also like to have a chat with  
Peter H and Daniel at the next meeting and work out the pros and cons  
for both programmes.


The site I am building   http://web.me.com/pfowler1/Site/ 
Welcome.html   is a hobby of my partner and neither of us are HTML  
savy. As I mentioned in an earlier post I am trying to wean her away  
from the dark side (before her ageing PC crashes) and iWeb or Sandvox  
sounds great.


Thanks again Reg and Peter

Hi Peter and Pedro

This is only a trial site but it was easy to set up and maintain. It

I'll second that. I've converted to Sandvox pretty much full time.  
I don't have the time or the money to continue with Adobe products.  
The nice thing about Sandvox vs iWeb is that Sandvox produces nice

The obvious thing is the battery died - but could it be a power

Re: iphone on three - FINALLY!!!

[Pedro]

Hi Peter

I have been using my Optus bought iPhone for nearly a year now on the  
3 network . Had it unlocked for free after the first month and put in  
my old 3 sim card. The only change made was the activated the internet  
on my card.


A 2yr $49 plan - $350 calls and 300min free 3 to 3 and a 1Gb data  
plan ...
Hopefully this will not change, what will be interesting is what  
happens now that 3 and Vodaphone have merged.


cheers

I'm with Optus. The Tethering Setting is in the Network section of
Settings under General.  There is a button 2/3 the way down the
screen labelled "Set Up Internet Tethering". When you choose it, a
message appears: "To enable tethering on this account, contact
OPTUS". I read somewhere last night that this is going to cost $15
per 500 Meg. Compared with the cost of a USB Dongle this might not
be too bad, especially since the only place I'm really likely to

it will probably be at WAMUG Meetings...

It will be worth the first $15 to see how it works.




As a follow up, I have just read in an email from Optus that  
official
pricing and terms will be available from 22 June. Account holders  
will

be able to turn on tethering from within their account settings, as
long as they have iPhone 3.0 installed. Again, available from 22  
June.

Hi all

I have had to rest the PMU on my G4 powerbook several times lately  
as it kept refusing to wake from sleep and nothing else would budge  
it.


Today I unplugged the adapter when the power was at 100% - 5 mins  
later it was 72% - 20 secs later it was on reserve power and 2 secs  
after that it went to sleep again.


The obvious thing is the battery died - but could it be a power  
management thing? Advice appreciated


regards
Alastair

Re: Hit counter / Sandvox

[Reg Whitely]

Hi Peter and Pedro

Here's an example of Sandvox.

Have a look at http://web.mac.com/rwhitely/Reg/

This is only a trial site but it was easy to set up and maintain. It  
links to my old iWeb site - unable to update it because the original  
folder is on a failed PowerBook hard drice (backupbackupbackup Reg!)

Have a look at Sandvox. You may be surprised: http://www.karelia.com/

It's wonderful and not restricted as much as iWeb might be.

Reg




I'll second that. I've converted to Sandvox pretty much full time. I  
don't have the time or the money to continue with Adobe products.  
The nice thing about Sandvox vs iWeb is that Sandvox produces nice  
clean code that can be edited with Dreamweaver if you want to.


SV has its limitations, but these can generally be overcome with a  
little lateral thinking.

Capturing Video - Thanks!!

[Severin Crisp]

Thanks for the many suggestions for capturing video.  Keepvid works  
very nicely and Zamzar has other useful options too.

Usual instant and all embracing response!

Hi Severin,

When using Safari, there's an easy way to download YouTube videos.  
Open the page with the movie and press Command-Option-A, which shows  
the Activity window.
If you're also loading other sites, you'll see a list of them: scroll  
until you find the YouTube page and click on the arrow to show details  
about what is being loaded.


You will certainly notice an element whose size is over 0.5MB (most of  
the time, over 5MB). Double-click on it (even if it is still loading),  
and Safari will download it. When the download is over, navigate to  
the file in the Finder (which will probably be called get_video) and  
add the extension .flv to its name. Now you can play it with VLC or  
with QuickTime (only if you have Perian installed).


Cheers,
Ronni

Are you using Adobe Reader or Acrobat as the engine for seeing

while the entire PDF loads.
When fully loaded the PDF ought to appear. By contrast, viewing via

loading bar.
Same situation as Adobe, i.e. the PDF does not appear until fully  
loaded,


In regard to the blank "Black" page you are experiencing ... Remove  
the plugin Adobe in the HD /library/InternetPlugins to your desktop.

See if you can view a PDF correctly then in Safari.
If so you can trash the plugin, if not you can place it back in the  
Internet Plugins.

Not all of it surely ?   Can't you open the enclosure and remove the
actual hard drive ?

Then , what sort of drive ?  PATA  or SATA ?

IT would cost you a lot less than buying the whole unit

Bob




Dunno SATA or PATA  Bob.

 Seagate mfr and was completely stuffed - a non starter- non spinning  
disk making a lot of noise.Been there and done it before years ago  
with no good outcome.


So whats the recommend for a new one?

Re: Capturing video

Hi Severin,

I use downloadhelper with firefox see:

 and




I find it is really easy - anytime you are on a page with video content go
to the tools menu - select downloadhelper and the video files are listed
select one/it and the save as dialogue box comes up for you to save it where
you will.

Can't help with Safari, sorry, I don't really use it.

Re: Capturing video

[wyvern]

Hi Severin

try here http://www.zamzar.com/url/  no need for an app on your  
computer and no cost.


Zamzar will convert the video to mp4 and email you when done  
[sometimes only a matter of minutes] giving you a link from where you  
can download the converted file. Zamzar holds the file for 24 hours.  
I have found this great as this allows others to also download too.
