Step 1

The typical solution is to make sure that Gmail is enabled under the Organization & Users Menu and under the submenu “services” … you can access this screen directly if you are now logged into your Google Apps account by modifying this URL:

https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/yesmyown.com/Organization#Organization/subtab=1

If you decide to make changes here, don’t forget to save them.

Step 2

The typical solution may not solve a niche problem that happens when you add several domain aliases to the primary google apps account and you haven’t clicked through the “yes I set up my MX records” validation process. If you added more than one domain to your account, you may also want to check under Domain Settings -> Domain Names:

https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/yesmyown.com/DomainSettingsDomains

Make sure that you aren’t missing anything in the domain validation process. You may need to set MX records for alias domains that aren’t the primary domain before you can access Gmail.

Once you have validated everything here, go back to the menu from Step one and disable Gmail, save changes, then re-enable it and save again. Don’t forget to re-enable it, because you will lose email if you leave it disabled for more than 30 days.

The Problem:
For a long time I have been having a problem where I’ll be watching a Youtube videos, myspace videos, etc. (This is on a Windows XP computer by the way. I’m using Flash 9 and Firefox 2.0.0.14) Everything is fine when I first start my browser, but as I open more and more tabs in Mozilla Firefox things begin to go downhill. Eventually, Flash .SWF movies just simply won’t play for more than a few seconds. When the problem happens, a flash movie begins playing with no sound, then after 2 or 3 or a couple seconds the movie stops playing. I can fast forward it to a later position in the flash movie and it will play for another 2 seconds or so (without sound), but then it stops again. If I close out of Firefox and start it back up from scratch I can watch movies for a while until I open a lot of tabs again.

The Work Around:
It turns out that this problem is some kind of a bug (probably with the Flash 9 plugin for Firefox.) I guess I should probably upgrade to version 10, but I have found that I can work around the problem by closing out of all those extra windows that have extra flash movies in them, then refreshing the page that I’m trying to watch the flash movie on. I guess that works a lot better than closing out of Firefox entirely. If you find a better solution, please comment.
