Apple
Macintosh Users
|
| Some Apple Macintosh
users have experience problems in submitting registration forms to the ASTSS.
These problems stem from incorrect Preference Settings in the Internet Explorer
program. To avoid these problems, Apple Macintosh users are advised to either: |
| a) Ensure the correct
Preference Settings have been selected in their Internet Explorer program
(see below for an example how to check these settings
are correct) |
| b) Use another form
of registration process (e.g., regular mail or fax) |
| |
|
How
to Check the Internet Explorer Settings on my Mac
|
|
A
problem has arisen in the email submission of registration forms from
Apple Macintosh's using the Internet Explorer web browser. On Macs the
user must specify what email account to use in the Internet Explorer Preference
Settings. The following steps will guide you through the process of checking
these settings are correct on your computer.
|
|
| Step 1 |
|
|
|
Open the Internet
Explorer program on your Mac |
|
| |
| Step 2 |
 |
|
Click on the "Preferences"
item in the menu section called "Explorer". This
will bring up the Internet Explorer Preferences window (see
Step 3) |
|
| |
| Step 3 |
 |
|
On the left handside of the Internet
Explorer Preferences window, click on E-mail and then
click on the General item. The current E-mail settings for
the Internet Explorer browser will now be displayed on the right
handside of the Internet Explorer Preferences window.
There are two sections that you enter information
for: Personal Settings and Sending Mail.
|
|
| |
| Step 4 - Personal
Settings |
 |
|
There are two items to fill in the Personal Settings section.
Real name is the name you want displayed before your emails
(e.g., Ben Stone<benstone@bigpond.com>). E-mail
address is your email address (e.g., Ben Stone<benstone@bigpond.com>).
|
|
| |
| Step 5- Sending
Mail |
 |
|
The Sending Mail section contains the name of
the Server that you want to handle your outgoing mail (mail
you send). These mail servers are called SMTP hosts or outgoing
mail servers. |
|
| To find out the name of your SMTP host, go to the website
of the company that handles your E-mail (for example Bigpond, OzEmail, etc.)
Using the search function on your Email company's webpage search
for "SMTP" and this should lead you to a page containing the name
of their SMTP host or outgoing mail server. |
|
Examples of some SMTP host or outgoing mail server
names are:
|
|
For Telstra Bigpond users: mail.bigpond.com
|
|
For regular OzEmail users: smtp.ozemail.com.au
|
| |
| Step 6- Click OK |
|
|
Once you have entered the correct settings in both
the Personal Settings and Sending Mail sections, all that is left
to do is click on the OK button in the Internet Explorer
Preferences window.
Given that you have followed these steps and you
have entered the correct information, your computer should be able
send the emails from Internet Explorer with your ASTSS registration
information (click
