How to I get my Mac's email accounts onto my iPad?

Prior to Mac OS 10.9 I could just sync all of my POP email accounts to my iOS device. That feature in iTunes is now gone, and according to Apple's web page the email accounts just sync over iCloud. But this is not happening for me. My address book and calendar events are all synced, but my iPad is showing no email accounts (other than iCloud). I cannot find any way to copy my account to the iPad from the Mac.
I tried restoring from a backup of my iPhone, but even that didn't restore the email accounts. It restored everything but that. Do I really have to enter all of my email account details manually on the iPad to reconfigure my mail there?

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

You should be able to:
Disable automatic syncing of devices (Edit > Preferences > Devices)
Backup the device to the new installation (Right-click device > Back Up)
Transfer your purchases into your authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in the apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Have you double checked all of the settings? .... The outgoing mail server setting? Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

How do you get movies on an external HD onto your iPad?

We are considering the purchase of and iPad2, however, we have a plethora of movies on an external hard drive that we would like to watch on the iPad2. Can it be done? And if yes, how?
Thanks

If they are in a supported format then you can add them to your computer's iTunes and then sync them over to the iPad - the video formats that are suppored by the iPad are (from http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/) :
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
If you can't get them into iTunes then you can probably use something such as Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr) to convert them. If you can get them into iTunes but not onto the iPad (not all formats that are supported by iTunes are supported by the iPad), then Advanced > Create iPad Version in iTunes might create a version that can then be synced to the iPad.

How do I get to my apple email account to verify it for Icloud

I just downloaded the new IOS5 software and my music from Itunes is not on my phone and I cannot figure out where to verify my email. I went on line and reset my password, and sent myself an email to verify, but I can't seem to figure out where my apple email account is. I have Gmail, aol accounts in my mail folders but no Apple.
Help please.
Thank you.

Since you have an Apple TV issue, you will likely get a much faster and more informed response if you post in the support area for the Apple TV.
The link is below:
Using Apple TV
In the meantime, hold down the Menu key and Down Arrow key on the Apple remote for 8-10 seconds and release. Give the Apple TV a minute to hopefully restart back to normal.

How do I get an additional iCloud email account?

I've had a @me.com email account for years. But I need another email account for my business and I want it to be an @icloud.com account. Can this be done?

You can create up to three aliases - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main address.
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
(You may find that you can't create an alias just at the moment while they are rolling out the @icloud.com addresses to all accounts).
Or you could create a new iCloud account - you will need to create a new Apple ID using a different email address from the on you used to create your present one. You can sign into System Preferences>Mail, contacts and Calendars with this and run it in addition to the existing one.

How do I get pictures from my iCloud account onto my samsung galaxy mega?

I just got a Samsung Galaxy mega and I used to have an iPhone 4 so now how do i transfer my pictures from my iCloud account onto my samsung? Is there an app for the iCloud that I can use or is there some other way that I can retrieve them? I have little knowledge of iPhone and Samsung so if there's something I'm not doing right please let me know! But I have a whole bunch of pictures on my iPhone and I want them onto my samsung and I have no idea how to get them there! Thanks for your help!

The easiest way to get them into your phone is to use Google Drive. I would assume that this is on the phone, and if you have a Google email account you have access to the drive. If you don't, it's free and will also get you sign-in to the Google Play Store for apps.
There is a application for Macs for the Drive, but I would recommend avoiding it as it's been known to cause trouble. Just go to the Drive from your GMail webpage and upload the photos. Then on your phone open the Drive and download the photos.

HT201320 how can i stop automatic configuration of email accounts on my ipad...the ports are not correct and i cannot access my email

i cannot get my "frontier" email account set up on my ipad so that i cannot either or receive email. Frontier says that the "automatic" verifying tool puts the wrong ports in and that is why i cannot get or send emails from the ipad. We know we have the correct name and password in but when in comes to verifying, an error message comes up and says "the wrong user name or password has been entered".
How do i disable the automatic set up of email so i can be assured the correct ports are enabled?

-Tap "Settings" app,
-Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" option on the left hand side,
-On the right, under "Accounts" on top, tap "Add Account...",
-Select one of the email service providers or "Other",
-Under "Mail", tap "Add Mail Account",
-A window pops up and enter your new email account details.
-Repeat for new email accounts.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How do I get apps from my Itunes account to my Ipad?

I have apps on my Itunes account on my laptop and want to know how do I get them onto my Ipad2

Have you ever synced your iPad with your computer? If you have synced in the past, then sync the apps to the iPad. If you have never synced this iPad with iTunes on your PC, iTunes is going to ask you if you want to erase the iPad and replace the content on the device with the contents in your iTunes library.
So have you ever synced with the PC before?
You can download the apps again for free in the purchased tab of the App Store on the iPad - as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought the apps with.

How do I get the music from my iPod onto my iPad?

How do I get my iPod music onto my ipad2?

One has to assume the music on your iPod is in your iTunes music library? From there, it's simple. Simply connect your iPad to iTunes, and after it synchs (you can cancel the synch if you don't want to synch), then click on the iPad on the left hand side. Your device will be up on the screen. Click on music and check which music you want to synch to your iPad, then synch and your music will be there.......

HT1349 I have an iPad (1). Connected a camera connection kit, then inserted a SDHC card. Nothing happened. How do I get the photos off the card onto the iPad?

I have an iPad (1). Trying to load photos. Connected a camera kit, inserted an SDHC card with photos. Nothing.... How do I get the photos loaded onto the iPad?

rSH8745-
At first glance, your iPad should have reacted to the presence of the SDHC card.
Are you sure the card is SDHC and not SDXC? I do not think the newer XC format is compatible with the SD adapter in the Camera Connection Kit.
How did the photos get on the card? The iPad expects them to be in the same format as if they had been stored there by the camera. They should be in a folder named DCIS. Their file names should have 8 characters plus suffix.
Have you tried connecting the camera's USB cable to the USB adapter in the Camera Connection Kit?
