Unable to access yahoo mail server on iPad suddenly last 36 hrs.  Can anyone assist?

Hold off on purchasing stuff. I got my problem solved going through Apple Support for free. I'll try to walk you through this but bear in mind I've only done it once with an Apple Tech Support manager on line.
Basically you have to clear your keychain. Go to Finder Menu, Select Go, select utilities, select Keychain Access
Once you are in keychain access you may have to enter a password to unlock the keychain
Once unlocked, select preferences and then reset my keychain.
This is where I am fuzzy on what we did but as I recall that was all that was necessary with respect to the keychain access.
Save the changes
Go to the mail program, delete your existing account
Add a new account
De-select the option to automatically set up your account (VERY IMPORTANT)
Enter your email account info for @me.com
On the incoming mail server page
Enter the account type as IMAP
Enter the account description as iCloud
Enter the incoming mail server to imap.mail.me.com
on the outgoing mail server page
Enter the account description as iCloud
Enter the outgoing mail server to smtp.mail.me.com
Check use only this server
And your problems SHOULD be solved
If I were you, before messing with the Keychain stuff I'd try editing the incoming and outgoing server address in the mail program first to see if that's a shortcut.
Good luck!

  • My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. Help.

    My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. I don't want to lose anything. I have tried turning everything off and back on again. Desktop and laptop are working fine. Sometimes it turns on suddenly and I can use it for like 20 mins but then shuts off again. Same thing is happening with my dad's iphone, Help.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • TS4083 My folders that message rules divert emails to don't update when I open Mail on my iPad or iPhone. Only the inbox does. I have to click on each folder for it to update. Is there a way around this? The folders update on my mac fine when i check mail

    My folders that my message rules on iCloud divert emails to don't update when I open Mail on my iPad or iPhone. Only the inbox does. I have to click on each folder individually for it to update. A real pain as I have about 30 folders. Is there a way around this ? The folders update on my mac fine when i check mail without having to select each one of them. Can the iPad and iPhone do the same thing?

    My Mac has 4 mail accounts coming into it, but you are correct, one of them is a POP account, (and unfortunately it is the main @ account, and is the one associated with my apple id, since we've had it for years).  I couldn't figure out how to replace this with the Imap version, short of deleting that account entirely. 
    Is this what I have to do? 
    Thanks for your help!

  • I run 3 email accounts on Mac Mail, all 3 disappeared after doing the latest OS X update. I have tried adding the accounts back but no mail appears. Help!

    I run 3 email accounts on Mac Mail, all 3 disappeared after doing the latest OS X update. I have tried adding the accounts back but no mail appears. Help!

    The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The  MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
    In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

  • Trying to get my Facebook notifications/mail on my iPad and iPhone.Getting them fine on my PC

    Trying to get my Facebook notifications/mail on my iPad and iPhone.Getting them fine on my PC

    Hello Texancharm,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you're not receiving notifications for specific apps on your iOS devices, then please check your settings to ensure they're enabled correctly.
    Not getting notifications for a specific app
    Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If you’re not getting notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
    Go to Settings > Notifications to verify that the app supports notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, make sure that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled. 
    Make sure you’re signed in to your Apple ID.
    If you’ve recently installed an app or restored a backup, open the app to start getting notifications.
    About Notifications on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Cheers,
    Alex H.

  • 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.

  • Does mac mail sync with ipad and iphone mail?

    upgraded to mountain lion and i thought if i delete/read a email on mac mail then it would also delete/read on ipad and iphone but it will not. can i correct that?

    I have a .me account, a yahoo account, and a microsoft exchange account all in the mail application. I receive mail on my mac, iphone, and ipad but after I read it I have to delete on each device to remove it. Also if i send an email on a device it does not show in the send folder in the other devices. ???

  • TS3988 Problem setting up e-mail on Mac, iPad and iPhone

    I am having a major problem with my e-mai @me.com
    1) I have a Mac running Mountain Lion;
    2) The new iPad all up to date
    3) An iPhone 4 also up to date.
    iCloud e-mail on the web works perfectly, sending and receiving.
    On my Mac, I was able to configure as an IMAP account, but not using the standard settings provided by OS
    Both iPad and iPhone, while using the same and only Apple ID I have, do not recognize the default e-mail server.
    Notes only work between iPad and iPhone. Notes on Mac never worked since installation. It says it cannot be setup at the moment and ask to do it later... and has been doing that in the last 15 days...
    What should I do?

    GOing by what others have posted, hotmail seems to be having issues. There may be not much for you do to but to wait it out. You can always try removing and then readding your account info.

  • Can't delete mail messages on ipad and iphone

    All of my iOs devices seem unable to delete unwanted mail messages. I get a message "…unable to move message to Trash". Does anyone know why and how to fix it?

    This is an archived article but it's worth a try. Seems to make sense to me. Read this.

  • Outgoing Mail Problem on iPad and iPhone

    I have a Telstra iPhone and iPad. When I try to send or relay emails from work or other locations (not at home) to my work email or to other people I get the following message: Cannot Send Mail. A Copy has been placed in your Outbox.  The recipient xxxxxx was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying When I am at home and connected via wifi to my optusnet account, I can usually send emails from my iPad, but not always from my iPhone.  Very frustrating!

    Hi sgn,
    Please ensure you have the correct settings by following our guide here: 
    https://support.telstra.com.au/t5/Email/ct-p/LSP_Email#item-ARTICLES-LSP_Email-399836
    I'm assuming this is a Bigpond email address?If so it will be best to follow the heading: Set up Telstra email on the BigPond® platform, on your tablet or mobile
    If you continue to have problems it may be due to network you're connected to at the time restricting this. You may need to use the outgoing mail server of the provider that you're connected to via Wi-Fi. If the email isn't large you can toggle on Mobile data to send if this suits.

  • Mail Program on Ipad and Iphone

    How can you select either all or a group of emails to trash at one time.  Do you have to just use EDIT and select one email at a time?

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
    Envelope Index
    ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Mail crashes in iPad and iPhone when sending reply

    A very odd thing keeps happening this morning - I am trying to respond to an email, and every time I hit send, the mail app crashes. I attempted to respond to the same email on my iPhone, and the same thing happened. I tried sending a test email to myself, and that worked. Any ideas on what the problem could be and how I could fix it?

    Hi Kristina...
    Try "resetting" the devices...
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try again. If that didn't help, on one device tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. If that helped, do the same for the other device.

  • 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)
