Adding a Yahoo Mail user to Family Sharing?

My child uses Yahoo for mail. How can I establish Family sharing if that is the sole mail application he uses?

Not exactly correct, I believe.
In my case:
1. He established an Apple ID a long time ago.
2. When he received the 'Invitation' by me, the Organizer, to join Family Sharing, he was instructed to open it via iCloud or Apple Mail. He uses Yahoo. I t is as if Yahoo can not direct him to the final destination. I am stumbling in explaining it accurately, I know. Please forgive me.
I think I am explaining this properly. If I am missing something, please feel free to tell me. I would love to learn.

When i added my yahoo mail account in my iphone 4 ,it synced all the mail folders with its emails .BUT this didn't happen when i did the same in my macbook pro ?

Hi,
I think iphone 4 deals with mail account in an impressive way unlike the macbook pro. Because my yahoo mail account had been synced completely with all its emails and folders on the iphone 4.
BUT with Macbook pro, nothing happened even it told me that please make sure of your password. N.B. I know my password....
My question is can I have all my emails synced in my new macbook pro with all its folders. ?
Thanks,
Ahmad.

Thanks, You know..... it happened with me once before when I first use the windows live mail client.... I contacted yahoo staff and they replied with the same as you replied......( I thought that there is way to do what I wanted )...
By the way they advised me, if I wanted to get my folders .... I have to MOVE messages from specific folder to INBOX then SYNC imail then CREATE folder in imail with the same name as in my yahoo and so on !!!!
OK, if there are ways to sync the WINDOWS LIVE MAIL accounts and its folders, it will be great..... Does anyone know HOW TO ?

Iphone saying that yahoo mail user name or password is incorrect but it's ok

can somebody please advise. I have checked the mail account from a desktop and it's ok. i also tried deleting the accont on the phone and then re creating and still it is not sending mail but i am receiving mail?

what is more, i have sent an email successfully from another yahoo email on the phone and that worked but not the primary account in question?

Question for Yahoo mail users on iphone

I did a check of the first 7 pages but couldnt find anything.
Have people who use Yahoo found it to be efficient. I have found that it either pushes 20-45 minutes late or doesnt push at all.
I have also had a problem (twice) where I just dont get emails or I send them and people dont get them. I deleted the account and activated it again, but I dont want to have to do that once a week.
Anyone have the same issues, or is it isolated to me. I have a gmail account as well but I was hoping to have mail pushed instead of manually checking.
FWIW: I have had no problems with the gmail account

Known issues with yahoo push mail on the iphone....your not alone.

Yahoo Mail users

Since upgrading to Tiger I cannot deactivate Safari Cache. If I do deactivate Safari Cache I am unable to add attachments to Yahoo email. Gives me some kind of error and won't attach the file.
Anyone other Yahoo email uses have this issue? Anyone know how to fix this? I'd really like to deactivate Safari Cache so I don't have to keep emptying it.
thanks in advance,
Doug

Family sharing mail problem

I activated family sharing on my iPhone, added my wife and she gets an invitation mail from me.
In the mail it says, click here to show the invitation, she clicks it and comes to a webpage saying
that she must click the link in the mail to activate family sharing????
Anyone else with this problem?

I didn't have that problem and I don't know how to explain that BUT to overcome that problem and put family sharing to work use the alternative method.
When you are asked to ad a famil member you can send invitation or you can ask him/her to write password directly in your device. Try this last one and lt me know, it worked fine for me

Can't retrieve my yahoo mail using I phone 4.

Need help, I can't receive my yahoo mail from I phone 4. It was working fine up until last night when I updated the phone with the latest update. I have the same problem from I pad 2, so it's not the phone. The strange thing is I have another yahoo mail account stored. That works fine, so does the hotmail account.
I can send no problem just can't recieve. I can see it trying to download but it stops.
Any help is appreiated

Yahoo mail on iDevices has been a problem now for several weeks if not longer.
There may be a specific message in your inbox that is causing a problem for the phone. Try clearing out your inbox from a computer and see if it starts flowing again. If that doesn't work by deleting and re-adding the account to the phone. If that doesn't do the trick, I'm afraid you're in the same boat with a lot of other Yahoo mail users at the moment. Consider switching e-mail providers to one with a clue.

HT201320 This last week, I updated my iPhone with iOS6 and now my Yahoo Mail no longer works. I've deleted and restored the account without fixing the problem. The iOS update did not effect my iPad. Anyone have a suggestion?

This last week (of 17 Sep 12) I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and now my Yahoo mail does not work. I keep getting a "Yahoo server busy" message. This problem has not effected the update to my iPad 3 - it works fine. In addition, I have deleted and added my Yahoo mail - same result. Looking for ideas on repairing the link between iOS 6 and Yahoo. Cheers

Same here, albeit with a 3G and both a work Exchange account and personal Gmail are out of action. Reentered my password on the Gmail to no avail.
Unfortunately it seems that increased success has come too fast to Apple, it's starting to display Microsoft-like behaviors, e.g., releasing stuff and letting the customers serve as the beta / guinea pigs.

I would like to set Family sharing credit card set to none

Why are users of Family Sharing option required to leave a Credit Card number.
As with an individual itune account you can set to none.

Hi AcetoneGT7,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Credit card information is required for any previously existing Apple ID when it's trying to use the iTunes Store for the first time. You can switch the payment type to 'None' once the initial payment type has been set up however. The organizer of a family is required though to have a payment type set up.
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
Cheers,
Alex H.

Family cannot download from family sharing because it asks for code from cancelled card

I'm the primary user on family sharing and have recently put a new card on the account. When my boyfriend goes to download music or update an app it continues to ask him for the verification code for the cancelled card. How do I fix this?

That is because the App you are trying to update is associated with a different Apple ID. Apps and other purchases are tied to the apple ID that they were initially downloaded with.
Your options are:
1. Enter the password associated with the Apple ID being prompted for, or
2. Delete the App and then redownload it using your current Apple ID. If it is a free app, no problem. If it is a paid app, you would have to pay for it.

New Yahoo mail won't work on New Lion MacBook Pro (?)

I get a message from Yahoo telling me that by browser isn't compataible with new Yahoo mail - both in Firefox and Safari browers.
It was working fine yesterday, but not today.
I am therefore being forced to use the old Yahoo mail.

User Library is hidden by default.
use the option key
Finder>Go (option key)>Library.
However your Adobe reader is in Applications.
Do a Spotlight search> command-spacebar

Cannot log into my yahoo mail account from my iphone4.

I cannot log into my yahoo mail account from my iphone4. The password does not have any special characters. On my PC there is no problem.
Also cannot configure Add Yahoo mail. I woould get a message, stating "Verification required. Log into your Yahoo! account at www.yahoo.com". when I attempt this I get "Invalid ID/Password".

Tried eveyrhting and this was the way that fixed it for me --
if you are having an issue adding the yahoo mail account on an iphone/ ipad / ipod.
In the app store download the yahoo mail app for iphone (it works on ipads and ipods as well.. but there's only an iphone version). After downloading it - open and sign in. It's likely it will say that your yahoo account is 'locked' due to suspicious activity - follow the prompts to unlock it.
Now add the yahoo account under the ipad mail settings.
It should work in the regular ipad, iphone, ipod mail application now.
Hope this helps

IPhone now supports encrypted Yahoo Mail (iOS 4.2.1) with push!

I was having problems sending email so I took the trouble shooting steps of removing my Yahoo account from the phone and re-adding it (rebooting the phone in between just to be sure).
After doing so I noticed that the iPhone is now connecting to port TCP port 993 to retrieve mail for Yahoo and TCP port 465 to send mail via Yahoo. These are the ports used to receive and send mail using SSL/TLS respectively. See http://www.auditmypc.com/port/tcp-port-465.asp and http://www.auditmypc.com/port/tcp-port-993.asp
In iOS 4.1 and earlier, the iPhone was using ports 143 to retrieve email and 587 to send. These are the ports used when receiving and sending non-encrypted email. See http://www.auditmypc.com/port/tcp-port-143.asp and http://www.auditmypc.com/port/tcp-port-587.asp
There are ways of manually adding a Yahoo Mail account to the phone that sends and receives encrypted mail by going through the other mail settings and entering the servers names by hand, but push mail notifications wouldn't work with that.
So what this all means, assuming this isn't a fluke, is that as of iOS 4.2.1, the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch now support sending and receiving of encrypted mail while still supporting push! That's big news.

I've found sending to be hit or miss. It usually works, but frequently fails for reasons I can't figure out. When it fails, sometimes killing the mail app or rebooting the phone will get sending to work. Other times sending email with a different mail provider (MobileMe for example) gets it to work. Other times I have to turn off "Mail" for the Yahoo account and turn it back on.
I will say that sending email usually works, but I've had 3 instances where it simply stopped working since upgrading to iOS 4.2.1. I don't know if this is a bug with iOS or with Yahoo's servers. I do know that when the server connection fails, that the phone is trying multiple times to reach apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com on TCP ports 587, 465 or 25. I can telnet to that address on any of those ports while this problem is occurring so it seems likely it's an iOS issue.

IPad Mail not loading all message from Yahoo mail after installing iOS5

Yesterday I had Mail (on my iPad 1) set up for my wife and I (to retrieve Yahoo mail) while still under iOS 4.3.3 and it worked perfectly! ! !
Last night the iPad installed iOS5. Now on my wife's Mail, it shows 2 emails and asks to "Load More Messages. . ." 19 total, 4 unread". I tap the sentences, it act like it is going to do it but nothing. No change.
I have deleted the the Mail settings, powered OFF the iPad, relaunched it and the added the Yahoo mail account information all over again. I have done this 3 times but nothing has changed. Mail still won't retrieve all the Yahoo emails.
Please help!
Thanks,
John

I would try changing the Remove copy from server after retrieving a message: setting to After one day instead. You may think this is weird, because it can only make the problem worse, right? Well, maybe not.
Maybe what is happening is that Mail encounters connection problems from time to time that prevent it from deleting certain messages right after being downloaded, and it doesn't try again after that. By telling Mail to remove the messages after some time, you're telling it to keep track of which messages have already been downloaded and must be removed. Mail will look for messages to be removed from the server each time it connects to it for downloading new messages. If it cannot remove them for some reason, it will try again at the next connection attempt...

HT201060 Family sharing isn't create any family photo album, family reminder or family calendar automatically.

I added my wife and I in family sharing and we can share the app now.
But it's not create any family photo album, family reminder or family calendar automatically. Why and how can I do?

I was having the same problem - Family Calendar not showing up on a device after setup of Family Sharing. Tried lots of stuff but finally powered down and restarted the device and it showed up just fine.
Keep Calm
and
Reboot
