I can't set up my email account on my ipod touch.  It keeps saying that I have to use a valid email address for this account

I can't set up my email on my ipod touch.  It keeps saying I have to use a valid email address for this account.  Help!

Hi Annie,
Make sure when you are setting up your e-mail account that you enter in your entire e-mail address.  If you have a Yahoo (includes any e-mail account associated with Yahoo), G-mail, or Aol after entering in your password it should automatically set up.  Any other e-mail address you will have to manually set the account up.

  • How can I set up and email address for my grandson without giving him general access to the internet? email only

    My grandson's school needs him to have his own email address. For some reason, his is not able to use my address. I do not want him to have general access to the internet. His older brother caused my computer to be infected with a virus in a very short time. It took three weeks and one hundred dollars to get the use of my computer back.
    I do not want him to have access to the internet, but his school wants him to have an email address to communicate with him about school work. I am concerned that once he has an email address, someone (not the school) will send him a web site address in a message and he will be able to just click on it to get into the internet.

    You can use an email program (e.g. Outlook Express or Windows Live or Thunderbird) and disable HTML for that email (text only mode) to access the email account. You can create a new email account if your your ISP supports it or use a online service that allows POP3 access with an email program (most popular services allow that).

  • How can I set my default email address for meeting invitations?

    As I was adding a friend's and my lunch appointment in my calendar, I noticed an option to invite attendee. So I invited her and she accepted successfully.  My question is that when I invited her, the invitation came from an alternate yahoo email address that I don't use often.  I tried to switch the invitation to show it coming from my primary gmail address but couldn't figure out how to do it.
    Any advice? Thanks!
    Solved!

  • Can't change my email address for this forum

    I need to change my email address for this suport forum, but can't figure out how to do it.  If I go to my profile, I can see it but I can't change it.  And it's different from my main Apple ID which is set already set correctly with the email address I want to use.
    How do I do this?

    After a long couple of sessions with Apple tech support, here's what I've learned (for the benefit of others):
    If you have more than one Apple ID like I do, then the original one that you used to sign into these forums is the one you're stuck with.
    You can change that original ID's email address and/or password, but you must keep using that "first" set of credentials.  If you try to sign in with your newer Apple ID, it won't work, it'll keep prompting you for the old ID, so make sure you write it (and the password) down somewhere.
    I made the original mistake of creating a 2nd Apple ID when I closed an old email account a couple of years ago and needed to stop using that old email address.  What I should have done, and will apparently have to pay for forever, was to simply change the email address on the 1st Apple ID.
    Bottom line from my experience is be sure to only use one Apple ID.  If you create another, you'll be stuck with both for all time and have to use one or the other depending on which one you originally used in a particular situation. For example, when I get a new iPhone, I have to use the old Apple ID to download all the apps 2 years old and older, then sign out and back in with the new ID to download all the apps 2 years old or newer.  What a pain, but Apple has no way of combining them.  The tech rep said to send feedback, which I've already done.

  • I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

  • HT5622 How can I correct my rescue email address for my security questions. This email address is currently showing a typo.

    How can I correct my rescue email address for my security questions (when I am logged in with my Apple ID)?. This email address is currently showing a typo.

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, if you don't know the password for that email account and you can't get it reset then you will need to contact Support in the country where you and your iTunes account to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • I am trying to sync my ipod but it keeps saying that a previous library exists and that I can only sync it to one library.  I want to sync it to the previous library but how do I get it to go there?

    I am trying to sync my ipod but it keeps saying that a previous library exists and that I can only sync to one library.  I want to sync it to the original library bc that is the one that has all songs.  It keeps giving me a library with just songs that I have bought on itunes.  I never created a new library so I am not sure why it is doing this.  How do I get it to sync to my original library?  I have already tried to restore a previous version of itunes but that did not help.

    It appears that something happened to yur computer/iTunes files.  It happens sometimes.  To recovery:
    - Import the old music into the current iTunes library
    - Make sure all the apps are also in the library
    - If in the USA and therplaces where iCloud has benn released you can redownload most iTunes puchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are singned into the same iTunes account the originally purchased them.
    - After all the suff in in the iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes. 
    - Restore the iPod from backup and restore as necessary.

  • MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    I'm trying to update an app on my iPod touch but it says that it's unable to download the application at this time. I've tried everything what else can I do to fix this problem??

    Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in.
    It also could be due to an Apple server problem. and yu will just have to wait and try again.

  • Can i send to multiple email addresses for the same contact

    I coach a baseball team and I want to create contacts under the kids' names with email addresses for both parents listed.  Can I send email to multiple email addresses listed inside the same contact?  I hope this makes sense.
    Thanks!

    You can do it individually, but it can also be done with Groups in Contacts, but you will need to create two or more groups. Once you have created the Groups in Contacts, drag the contacts that have multiple email addresses into each group. Then, select Edit Distribution List… from the Edit menu in Contacts.
    For each group, select one address or the other for each contact. Do the same for the other group.
    When you address an email, add both Groups to the address field in Mail.

  • I purchased a refurbished iBook G4-Version 10.4.11 and everytime that I try to purchase anything on iTunes or change something in my account, I click "done" and it says that I have timed out. What could be causing this?

    I purchased a refurbished iBook G4-Version 10.4.11 and everytime that I try to purchase anything on iTunes or change something in my account, I click "done" and it says that I have timed out, when I'm on there for less than a minute. Hence, none of my purchases have gone through.What could be causing this?

    You need to use a newer Mac OS X version. A G4 can be upgraded to 10.5.8(if desired, buy a retail DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay), but you'll likely find it more cost-effective to buy a secondhand Intel Mac.
