HT204187 Email account does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

I have seral email accounts on my Mac. One does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

  • I can not receive my mail on my MAC but can on my Ipad and Iphone.

    I can receive my .me mail on my Iphone and Ipad but not my  MAC. the Mail box is set up with the new p99.... in the incoming mail server. It was working fine last week. My account type email address is <Edited by Host> , but the user name is sjgilreath is this suppose to be correct. Second part of the problem is my business email <Edited by Host> is also not working all of a sudden again can get mail on the Ipad and Iphone not the MAC. This is set up as pop.secureserver.net. Please help.

    I am having basically the same problem. I'm getting all my pop mail from other accounts but my [email protected] address, now iCloud, is not getting my mail. It comes through on my iphone and my ipad and my iMac  10.6.8 in my studio, but not on my MacBook Pro 10.7.  All I see is the little triangle with the ! . I have the old mac set to leave messages on server ( not upgradeable to 10.7)

    Recently, there has been a bug on my Mac OS X Lion, while trashing an iphoto the errant pic does not go to trash bin, but simply disappears! Which makes it impossible to change my mind. The trash remains empty, yet the pic is gone, and I never even emptied the trash (because it never made it to the trash)! How to recover the album I just accidently made disappear in this way?

    Sorry - there have been no updates to that system for a long time
    Try to backup your iPhoto library and lanch iPhoto while holding the option and cannoned keys down - repair permissions and if needed rebuild the database

  • My MacBook Pro was stolen last night. I need the serial number. It is not showing up on my devices list. My iPads and iPhones are. I have used it to to sync my phones and pads as well having it registered with apple. Any thoughts? Thanks

    SIgn in with your Apple ID, the same one you used to access this support forum.
    Hopefully, you will see a list of all the devices you registered with your Apple ID, including their serial numbers. Let me know how this works out.
    Edit to add: If you enabled "find my imac" on your Pro, you ought to be able to remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory. Click http://www.icloud.com/ sign in with your Apple ID and click the big green "find my iPhone" icon (nevermind the name, it will find all your devices provided they're running Lion or iOS 5).
    Then file a police report and nail the b*****d.

    I've reset the password a few times and know I am using the correct one. I get the same error on both my iPad and iPhone. Both see the network but maybe there is a problem with the router. I've also reset that a few times with no luck. Thank you.

  • I have different apple ids for my ipad and iphone - how do i sync so that the apps appear on both devices, e.g errands

    I have different apple ids for my ipad and iphone - how do i sync so that the apps appear on both devices, e.g errands

    If both accounts are authorised on the computer's iTunes that you sync them to, and the relevant apps are on that computer, then you should be able to sync them to both devices. The apps will be tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so only that account will be able to download updates to them.
    If you log into the other account on a device and re-download its apps onto them then you risk tying the device to that account for 90 days (and similarly redownloading on a computer's iTunes) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

    Yes, under the Settings for the store, you can turn off the auto download for purchases, that way if you purchase an app on another device it will not automatically download on that device.  You would need to do this on both your iPad and iPhone.

    Jerry,
    Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
    Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
    However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
    Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
    Thanks,  Maz

  • Should data entered in apps purchased in the Apps Store sync on my iPad and iPhone?

    Should data entered in apps purchased in the Apps Store sync on my iPad and iPhone?

    Syncing between iOS devices should work automatically once you enable it for each app in its Settings. Syncing between iDevices and your desktop, at this time, is more comlicated.

  • HT1694 All of the mail on my iPad and iPhone disappeared after my outlook downloaded. How to I keep mail resident in both places?

    All of the mail on my iPad and iPhone disappeared after my outlook downloaded. How to I keep mail resident in both places?

    I managed to lose an earlier reply I'd started before you came back with your "solved" so I didn't bother to retype it.
    It went something like this:
    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into an authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup.
    The older .itl file is useful however as iTunes should see this as the "home" library for your device which will allow you to preserve the application settings. (.itl file? Mac? I assume the library has migrated from PC to Mac at some point). Any files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder or did you kill those as well? The most recent of these would be the best place to start.
    And no, the .itl file is not editable by mortals...
    Once you've restored the media from backups or recovered whatever else you useful can from the device, the scripts MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks should help get the library up to speed with the contents of the media folder.

    I have tried to contact both the developer and Apple.  No one takes responsibility.  This is just an example of a successful developer trying to push the envelope and ripping the good customer off.  Tell your friends to stop funding this ripoff!

  • One email account stops working in Lion, despite same functioning settings on iPad and iPhone

    Hi,
    here's to hoping someone out there can help.
    Since the Lion install, one email account in Mail does not work. I tried deleting and re-installing the account and (with the help of tech support) toggling SSL settings and ports, but it still would not work. Interestingly, the account still works on iPad and iPhone. But the same settings do not work on the desktop Mail. Sending email to the account is received on mobile devices sans problem.
    I'm afraid at this point to sync the macbook with iPad and iPhone for fear the devices will automatically stop receiving mail as well. What gives?
    Grateful for any tips!
    Cheers,
    Alicia

    here is what I did to resolve the problem.  In Mail/preferences/accounts/account information/ and at the bottom of the box there is a toggle arrow up and down to edit the outgoing mail server, check the box "use only this server" and  hit this toggle button and select "edit SMTP Server List" at the very bottom of the email names.  Be sure to select OK each time to get the passwords to hold!  Some changes won't hold unless you click OK before you move on.
    Select Advanced tab.  Correct and/or add usernames and passwords as needed for each email account.  It seems the passwords are not holding.
    To test:       Window/activity (a little windows will pop up showing activity bars)   and then "get mail" button.  This should show any problems
    another test:  window/connection doctor
    This will fix both pop and imap.  so far it worked on yahoo, mobile me, gmail, hotmail, and others.  Of course, you will need to know the incoming and outgoing mail server info, user name, and passwords.
    Too bad we have to go though hoops to use an email program that used to work well.
