I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected. It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message). I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.

Hello there dinadinadina,
It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Try restarting your iMac by holding down the eject button on your keyboard. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2097

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your response
Let me give the history - I started with an Apple Express being fed thru a D-Link EBTR 2310 cable Router from an RCA DCM315 Modem (Pure). Comcast service all the way.
Got the 1st generation TC in 2008 and merely replaced the Airport Express with the TC. Worked ok
A year or two ago I did try removing the modem and feeding the TC directly from the modem. Resulted in the same condition I have now - Continuous flashing amber on the TC. So I put the router back in the chain.
Some time later, at the recommendation of a Comcast rep, I replaced the router with (a Belkin F5D 5231) to see if speed and dropout problems would be improved. I thought it helped some at the time but now I am not so sure.
Last week I decided to see if a new modem would help with download speeds. So I got another pure cable modem (Motorola SB 6121- high on the Comcast recommended list).
Got up and running easily with Comcast help and with the modem connected directly to a computer.
Next I put the TC in the link and again could not get past the TC continuing to flash amber. Although I did get connected to the internet with this configuration I lost connection two both of my printers - one connected by USB and the other wirelessly to the TC. Again everything works fine when I put the Belkin router back in the system.
However with the router in there, the modem shows the downstream connection to be 10/100 ethernet speed. (Modem light changes color for indicating speeds.}
I have gone thru all of the combinations of powering down/ up, but all stays the same.
I can live with what I have but something still doesn’t seem right.
Thanks again

TS3988 I am using mountain lion. iCloud works fine with my iMac iPads and iPhone with one annoying exception. I cannot use the systems preferences on my iMac because I cannot log in. When entering my apple id and password I get a window saying "You can

I cannot log into systems preferences for icloud on my imac. icloud works on all devices including the imac, but I get the window "You can't sign in at this time" when using system preferences on the imac. I am using mountain lion, but it didn't work on lion either. Help

You may wish to try the following:
1. Sign out of your account
(If you are unable to do this because System Preferences has frozen, Force Quit System Preferences and try again)
2. When prompted, opt to delete, contacts, calendars etc from your Mac.
(You are only deleting this data from your Mac, not from iCloud, the data will be reinstated when you log back in. If you need to check that the data is in iCloud before deleting it go to iCloud.com and check each section for data)
3. Having logged out, check that the iCloud accounts along with their data have disappeared from the Mail, Address Book and iCal Applications.
(If necessary, delete the iCloud accounts from each of these application separately from each Applications Preferences)
4. At this point it may be worth trying to log into iCloud from the System Preferences iCloud settings again, if this works, all well and good, if it doesn't continue to step 5.
5. Open your User Library folder in the Finder. (When in the Finder, go to the Go menu, hold down the option key (alt) and choose Library when it appears in the Go menu)
6. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iCloud and drag the iCloud folder to your desktop. (This action only copies the folder and will provide you with a back up)
7. Select the iCloud folder again in Library > Application Support and drag it to the trash, enter your administrators password when prompted.
8. Restart your computer.
9. You should now be able to enter your ID and Password in system Preferences > iCloud and log into your account. Check the services you wish to use and once you are satisfied it's working as it should, trashh the iCloud folder you copied to your desktop earlier.

I cannot open mail messages on my ipad mini. I can see the message in the bar on the left, but it will,not open in the message area

MAil will not open the message in the message area...i can see the message content in the side bar, but it doesn't open when I tap on the message

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Cannot get mail message keeps me from using a mail account. Yes I don not remember the password that I used of the user name. How can I reset this?

I don not remember the passwd or the user name for an email account. how do I reset this account?

OK, hubby figured this out for me. Apple support were nice people but could not get the answer. Network Solutions online info was incorrect or incomplete. I do not remember exactly. However, the email that Network sent was EXACT. No info as to password reset but they gave the correct port numbers and .....Connection!

HT4913 I bought a new computer, bought itunes match, but my iphone doesn't recognize that i bought it and wont work. I am using the same apple id on both but tells me i am not subscribed for it everytime i try to turn it on on my phone.

help please

Have you tried logging out of the Store in your iPhone's Settings? iOS devices store your account information upon login, and it looks to me as if your iPhone is still reading your old info prior to subscribing to Match.
- Go to Settings > Store
- Tap your Apple ID, then hit Sign Out
- Go back to Store, sign back in with your Apple ID
Hope this helps

I updated my username and password but my iPhone doesn't recognize me

I updated my Apple ID and password successfully online but I am not recognized on my iPhone3G and can't update any of my apps.

Apps are linked to the original Apple ID used to purchase them. They cannot be transferred to a new Apple ID and can only be updated with the original Apple ID. Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID:>Sign Out then sign back in with the previous Apple ID and password used to purchase the apps, update them then sign out again and back in with your new Apple ID and password.

Recently getting the "Cannot Get Mail" message on the iPhone 4?

2 months ago when the message first started appearing we could close mail on the Mac mini, and then receive emails on the the iPhone, but not any more? Have not seen any new e-mails on the iPhone since May 5.
The message also says "The account Telus is in use on another device"?
Has anyone encountereed this same message before?

Hey skrobichaud,
The following article goes over what might have prompted the "account Telus is in use on another device" message you're receiving on your iPhone:
iOS: 'Mailbox Locked', account is in use on another device, or prompt to re-enter POP3 password

Cannot get mail message for gmail

Hi
I am having problems with mail where I am receiving this message:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “@gmail.com” or try again.
The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
The server returned the error: Too many simultaneous connections. (Failure)
The password is correct and I can log on to gmail directly and not have any problems.
I also have another email account for a business from a seperate server that never has any problems so I know that it is not an internet connectivity problem.
Does anyone know how I resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi PrimalKitty,
You may get this error message if you are accessing your Gmail account from multiple devices, even if your settings are configured correctly. You may find the following article helpful:

Gmail Message "Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed"

Curious if anyone else has seen the "cannot get mail" message pop up when using the iphone 4 mail in iOS. I only get it for my gmail and only when I select the all inboxes option. When I select only the gmail account, I don't see this pop up. My email downloads fine, but for some reason this message continues to show up every time I access it. Starting to get annoying.
Any solution as to how to keep this from popping up. Maybe changing something within the gmail account setup or preferences on the iphone?

I want to get a Nikon D3100, but my macbook has OS 10.5.5 on it and I've read that the D3100 needs at least 10.6.5. What will happen if I try to use this camera with my computer? Will iPhoto simply not recognize it or will I get distorted pictures, or..?

Nikon say that you need 10.6.5+ for the latest firmware, although I don't see why.
Thanks for that! I was looking for that manual, but for some reason, couldn't find it.
I guess I'll have to contact Nikon and find out what the real story is. The camera was introduced in '08 or '09, so I'm wondering why you'd need software as recent as 10.6.5??
Still very confusing. :-?
Why does it state that the camera is compatible with "10.4.11, 10.5.8..."? Does that mean that anything between 4.11 and 5.8 is incompatible???
BTW, I tried downloading the 10.5.8 combo update recently and got an error message that the update was "corrupted" after it was all downloaded, so I was not able to install that.

It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it.
I found some links on the Yahoo! website that might help:
