However, under some type of situation, you may stop getting logs email from Amac keylogger, no worry, these three possible reasons will help you solve your problem.

Unavailable Internet Connection

The keylogger for Mac could certainly not send you the logs email without an Internet connection. When your device has been shut down or it has gone into sleep mode, Amac keylogger will fail to deliver emails to you because of unavailable Internet. In this situation, you can try to turn off sleep mode of your computer so that Amac keylogger is able to report you the logs as time interval you set up for the keylogger. And you may need to check the settings in “Energy Saver preferences” and drag “Computer sleep” to “Never” so as to disable the sleep mode of your device.

Too Large File Size

After you set up the time interval of screenshot settings, Amac keylogger will capture the desktop screenshots in strict accordance with the interval. But too short time interval for screenshot will increase the size of log files. As a result, the log file will become too big to be sent by email. To solve this kind of problem, you can try these steps:

  • Go to “Settings” – “General” tab and uncheck “Run Amac Keylogger at Mac Startup” and then recheck the option
  • Go to “Settings” – “Screenshot” tab and set the screenshot interval as more than 5 minutes. Go to “Settings” – “Email” tab and set the Email interval as 30-60 minutes
  • Go to “Settings” – “General” tab – “Automatically delete logs after XX days
  • Open the keylogger and click the small broom icon at the right top of every log window to delete the old logs. Go to “Settings” – “Email” tab and click on “Test Email” to see if it works.

The suggested time interval for email and screenshot is to make sure the log email attachment will not be over-sized to the limitation of email size. For example, if the log size is more than 20M, then Yahoo and AOL mail are unable to send it. To set auto deletion of logs is to make Amac keylogger resolve the problem of too large file by itself.
