Account won't stay online and get new messages

I have 2 accounts on Mail, my work and my yahoo account. I receive all my messages fine at work (tiger) and cannot receive them at home, mail keeps telling me the account is offline at home when I try to take it online it refreshes and then puts a squiggly line next to the account name. I have not selected to delete messages from server. I've checked to make sure all my settings are the same from the office computer and home computer. I'm not sure what to do next.

I found (in solving an iTunes issue) that a hard reboot of the ISP's modem cleared up a Mail issue very similar to the one you describe.

Once you purchase or download an app it will always be associated with the Apple ID used to download it. When that app requires and update you must use the Apple ID and password used to download it in the first place. The only way around this is to delete the apps the require the old Apple ID and download or purchase them again with the new Apple ID.

HT204075 email account won't stay online

Mac email connects to the internet but can't connect to the POP server or the SMTP server, so I can't send or receive. Checked all settings and they're correct. Settings show the mail account is "offline" but it won't stay online for more than a few seconds when I click "take all accounts online.

Triple-click the word "telnet" in the line below on this page to select the whole line:
telnet pop.centurytel.net 995
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You should almost instantly get three or more lines of output below what you entered, one of which is this:
Escape character is '^]'.
If there's no output within ten seconds, consider that a failure. If you get something different from the above, please post it in a reply. You can then quit Terminal.

Our home address changed and our AMEX card identity has been stolen. So when i edit to change my address and AMEX number it won't let me and get this message: "YOUR SESSION HAS TIMED OUT. TRY AGAIN. How do I access the store to change my account????

We moved and our address has changed. Also our AMEX card identity has been stolen twice and AMEX has changed our number and security code twice already. Now i am trying to edit my account at Itunes. Every time I try to edit our account at Itunes, I get this message: "YOUR SESSION HAS TIMED OUT. TRY AGAIN" Anything i am doing wrong? How do I get to the accounting department without getting this message?
Thanks

I am having this problem too. I recently changed ISP b/c I wanted the iPhone, so I had to update my iTunes username to my Gmail account.
In fact, I logged in HERE using it as my new Apple Id... so it works!
But for some **** reason that is driving me nuts my iPhone will not connect to the iTunes store using my new Apple Id. It keeps saying my email has changed or is invalid and asks me to sign in to change it. So I do that, and it lets me in USING MY NEW Apple ID!!!! Then I go back out to the buy the App and the madness starts all over.
Come on Apple, do you want me to buy your apps, or what?

I just got an iPhone 5S, now when I try to use my old iPad the apps won't work because they are syncing with my new phone. Can I have the same account for an old iPad and a new iPhone?

Connect your iPad to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
See the Using iTunes Section Here...
How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

How do i get my account unlocked and get new security questions

how do i get my account unlocked and get new security questions?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s and keep my same plan but switch to the Edge program. Is this possible? I don't think I should have to pay an early termination fee or anything like that since my phone has become almost unusable. I know under normal circumstances you have to wait 2 yrs to upgrade but due to the update and the poor service I'm now getting I hope Verizon can make an exception. Thank you.

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Imap accounts won't go online

A very strange thing started to happen to my Macbook Pro since yesterday. My Imap accounts won't go online. My internet is working fine. My POP accounts sync normally. When I try to put the Imap accounts online Mail gives me the following message "error 51 - network is unreacheable". I have no idea of how to correct this.
Thanks for helping,

Well, I don’t know what could be the problem either, but something to look at is that there is nothing wrong with your network settings.
In particular, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Try also turning OFF all the network port configurations except the one needed to connect to Internet and see whether that makes a difference -- if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.

When I want to create apple account in billing and card details page I am stuck and get the message contact itune store support to complete this transaction. Need to know what to do as I can't creat apple id

When I want to create apple account for my new iphone5 with different apple id than this in billing and card details page I am stuck and get the message contact itune store support to complete this transaction. Need to know what to do as I can't creat apple id

The first step would probably be to contact iTunes support as you're being told to do.

I live in Germany at the moment. How can I buy iPad mini with retina online and get tax free?

I live in Germany at the moment. How can I buy iPad mini with retina online and get tax free?

Do you qualify for a tax free purchase? The online stores will collect the required taxes for their country and region. I know in the USA, if you are a tax free corporation, and you purchase it directly with a corporate account, you can get an item tax free using the company account and the corporations registered tax exempt number. But an individual citizen cannot avoid paying the appropriate required taxes when shopping the online Apple web store.

Have a brand new itouch ttried loads of times to connect to my home wi-fi with no luck, called support they told me to take it back and get new one, same results have wi-fi sign on top but not really connected. help.

new itouch won't connect to wi-fi, has wi-fi sign on top, but is not really connected, called apple support they told me to take it back and get new one, but same problem please help

Test it on another network--like at McDonals. If it works there, you got an issue on your home network--like a router setting.

TB 27.0.1 (W7) will not "get new messages for all accounts"

I installed W7 with IE11and downloaded the latest TB (27.0.1) I have added five email accounts (more to be added) and none of them show up in the left pane - only global Inbox and two folders I created. I can get new messages manually one account at a time, but "get new messages for all accounts" (or Shift F5) does nothing. Most of this happed after MS installed well over 100 updates to my W7, but some of my accounts never did show up in the left pane even before the W7 updates. I have reinstalled TB - nothing changes.

Matt, I thank you for your kind and gracious response (Ok I will say this only once....). Be assured that I would never think of asking your advice again.
The crux of the matter has been resolved by checking the “Include this server when getting new mail” box in each account’s “Advanced” box under “Server Settings.” Now every time TB checks for new mail (including on startup), the process is displayed in the lower left portion of the window. I wish this had been explained to me more clearly early on.
Having all accounts in the left pane has become unimportant now that I can see the mail being checked on startup, periodically, and on Shift F5.
I consider this thread closed.
