Alert saying SMPT (outgoing) password is missing - but it's not!

I have a POP mail acccount on the iPhone that uses a password for both receiving & sending mail.
Since I upgraded to 3GS and OS to 3.0.1, I can no longer send mail on this account.
When I try, I get an alert saying that I need to enter a password for the SMPT server in settings- but there's one there already.
I've tried re-entering the password and restarting the phone- neither worked.
Is this a known issue? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Just worked it out - the SMPT port had switched to 110 since the phone and OS change - while it should have stayed as 25.
Bizarre that it changed - and even more bizarre that this problem was interpreted as a lack of password!
Anyhow, it's all sorted.

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset it via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

My AppleTV says my iTunes password is incorrect, but it works on all other Apple devices. Help?

My AppleTV says my iTunes password is incorrect, but it is correct when logging in via my Macbook, iPad and iPhone. Do I need to reset it entirely in order for it to work on all 3 devices? This happened randomly without me logging out and back in, and I've already tried restarting the AppleTV. I really dont want to have to create another new password.

Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.

Adobe Creative Cloud says that lightroom 5 is installed but it is not on my computer, but I wish to use it. How can I install it??

I wouldn't think changing your password would have an impact but signing out of the Creative Cloud app and back in again might be something else to test. You might also try installing the trial version of Lightroom 5 and see if it appears in the list in the Creative Cloud app afterwards.

HT204053 Icloud says my Apple Id is valid but it will not accept it to access Icloud

Icloud says my Apple Id is valid but it will not accept it to access Icloud

If the messages says that it is a valid Apple ID but not an iCloud ID, it's becaure you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create the account on an iOS device or Mac (running Lion or Mountain Lion). After creating the account, you can then sign in with the ID on your PC, but you can't create the account on a PC.

What to do when trying to log into my iCloud and it says "this apple iD is valid, but it's not an iCloud account"?

What to do when trying to log into my iCloud and it says "this apple iD is valid, but it's not an iCloud account"?

If you have not already created an iCloud account elsewhere you cannot do so on PC, and that is the error message you will get. You can create an iCloud account on a Mac or an iOS device and then you should be able to sign into it in the iCloud Control Panel in Windows.

HT204053 iCloud says my Apple ID is valid but it is not an iCloud account. I find how to link on Apple services but it seems to leave me hanging. How do I actually link the 2 accounts? On a Windows 8 PC?

iClound Control Panel says my Apple ID is valid but it is not an iCloud account. How do I link the 2 accounts on a Windows 8 PC with iTunes 11. I go to Apple services and it gives some instructions; but they leave me hanging. They tell me to put in the same user name and then just stop. Doesn't say what to do next. I did what it said and the 2 accounts are still not linked. Anyone know how to assist? Thank you.

Apple isn't trying to be anti-PC with this; they support PCs going all the way back to Vista SP2, a 3-generation old version of Windows. To sync iCloud with a Mac you have to be running one of the last 2 versions of the OS X operating system (i.e., a newer version than you do on Windows). I assume it's set up this way because it's a service provided customers purchasing Apple devices that utilize iCloud syncing services, and if you happen to also you own a PC, it will sync with that as well. It wouldn't make sense for them to provide this service, including a free 5GB iCloud account, hosting for backups, syncing services, free photo stream, etc. for non-Apple customers (who, for example, may only own a PC).
If you have a friend with one of these devices who is willing to let you create the account on their device, you could then use it on your PC. They would have to delete the existing account from their device in Settings>iCloud, then let you sign in with your ID to create a new account, then delete this account from their device and sign back into their own account. You could then use this ID to sign into the newly created account on your PC. Note: each device can only create 3 iCloud accounts, so you would be using one of their 3 alotted accounts, but they may be willing to do this for you.
iCloud is really designed to keep your data in sync across multiple devices that you may own, and with your computer. It will also automatically back up your device, stream photos taken on one device to all your other devices, and allow you to locate a misplaced device using Find My iPhone. It doesn't, however, sync music if that's what you're looking for.
If you want to be able to access your music from iCloud you don't need an iCloud account for this. As mentioned earlier, music purchased from the iTunes store is already available in iCloud. Music from other sources, such as in your case, can only be accessed from iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/). If you do, you can then upload your iTunes library (up to 25,000 songs) to iCloud an access them from an iOS device via iCloud, even without an iCloud account. Music purchased from other sources that is copy protected (contains DRM) is not eligible and will not be uploaded to iCloud so be sure your music purchased from Amazon doesn't contain DRM before subscribing.

You can't setup an iCloud account using a PC. You need a Mac, or an IOS device. You can sign into iCloud on your PC once you open an account.

On my iPad I have a working icloud that I have complete access to, but on my iPhone it keeps asking me for the password for it, but I do not know it! And the email that I used is not activated anymore! How do I delete the icloud account on my phone?

Hi Aurion23,
If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

Itunes says it's updating my ipod but it's not...

Hi,
I'm running a Dell/Windows XP environment with an ipod mini (Version 1.4.1) and itunes (Version 6.0.4.2).
My problem is that itunes says it's updating my ipod but it's not. When I copy songs across to my ipod, itunes provides the message "copying X of X songs" and I can see them appearing on screen, however when I eject my ipod and search for songs there's nothing on it.
Other strange things are happening such as:
- each time I connect my ipod to my computer, itunes wants to 'set it up' just like it's the first time I've ever used it;
- itunes shows my usage of my ipod at about 50% full, however if I go my ipod directly settings->about, my ipod shows 0 songs and 100% capacity remaining.
Strange isn't it...
To correct this error I've tried all of the apple remidies:
- restart computer;
- reset ipod;
- update itunes;
- restore ipod;
- update itunes software.
None of this has fixed my problem.
I've searched all the support articles and can find nothing that matches this problem.
Please can anyone help!! This is so frustrating and has rendered my ipod completely usless.
Thanks
Brenton

My CPU is different from a Dell and I am using the new ipod video, but all of the problems you have faced I am dealing with now.
I have tried all the remedies you went through, plus I took my ipod into the apple store to have it reset. Still nothing..
DId you ever get a fix for your ipod? and if so would you mind sharing it.

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all.

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. I went to the forums and tried all the suggested fixes but none worked. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all. I tried a system restore twice and it did not fix the problem.

I would imagine it's the MyWay Searchbar which is classified by most anti-malware scanners as adware, or even worse as spyware. I say that because I see "SmileyCentral" in your list of plugins and that's an add-on for that particular toolbar. You can disable that via Tools | Add-ons | Plugins.
There are a number of toolbars which won't work with Firefox 4 anymore due to the enhanced protection mechanisms in the browser.
Mozilla recommends that you only install add-ons from its own security site @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured Generally speaking, those have all been tested and approved. The exceptions are those currently under review which are marked with a yellow banner to warn users that they haven't passed Mozilla's labs yet.

How do I install purchased apps on ipad2? It says I have purchased the apps but they are not installed.

I have just purchased an ipad2 and purchased 2 apps. This is my first ipad. The ipad says I have purchased these apps but they are not installed. I don't know how to install them. Also I can only see them if I go to either the app store or the game center and click on purchased. I would like them to show up on screen that shows when I open the ipad but maybe that only happens when they are installed?

Did you purchase them directly on the iPad or on your computer's iTunes ? If on your iPad in the App Store app then have you checked to see if they are on a different homescreen by swiping the homescreen to the left ? If they are on a different screen, and there are spaces on the first homescreen then you can move them :
Touch and hold any icon for a couple of seconds until the icons jiggle .
Arrange the icons by dragging them (don't drag too quickly). You can't leave gaps between icons on a page
to move them to a different screen drag them (not too quickly) and then hold them so that they are overhanging the edge of the screen - after a couple of seconds or so the display should change to the next/previous screen (depending on which edge you are holding it) and you can then place the icon.
Press the Home button to save your arrangement.
If you downloaded them on your computer then you can either connect your iPad to your computer and sync them across, or go into the App Store app on the iPad and re-download them via the Purchased tab (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519)

LG Lucid 3: How can I get rid of the text message indicator? It says I have a text message, but I do not.

I have a new LG Lucid 3 and the text message indicator says I have a new message, but I do not. Messaging is empty when I click on it. How can I get rid of the "1" indicator? I tried turning the phone on and off and that did not work.

Thanks for trying, Anzivina! You've done some strong troubleshooting. Although I do wish it had resolved this matter, I believe we still have options. You've indicated that you've done a factory reset. Can you walk me through the steps you took to get there? Also, after the factory reset, how long before this message indicator appeared again? Was it before or after you restored all your personal data?
