After setting up email account the apple imap does not respond.

Able to get on the internet with no problem but when I try to set up an email account no matter whether yahoo or gmail I get this message. "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the incoming mail server field. I have done this numerous times with no success.  I deleted all email accounts since they did not work and still have had no success.  The problem has to be with this ipad.  The model number is MB293LL, Serial # V50445YCZ39 VERSION: 3.2.2(7B500).  All pertinent information has been put in properly but the unit still is unable to send or receive any email.  I am wondering if I should reset the entire unit back to factory specs etc.  The form below this asked for an operating system and I put Vista in due to the fact that this system was given to me by someone that I know had Windows Vista on their home computer.  If I can change it I would. I just do not know how at present that is why I am coming to this community.  Thanks for any help.

I am trying to set up a basic email account through the settings email,contacts etc button on the ipad.  When the list of servers comes up I pick yahoo and fill in the pertinent info as far as the correct email address and password. When I try to save it the ipad is the thing that comes up with this message "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is not responding.  I have no idea where or how it comes up with this but that is what appears when I try to save the account information it request.  The info that JimHdk sent does not work either.  Thanks for any help.

  • My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore.  I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689"  firewall is off

    My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore.  I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689"  firewall is turned off.. Any ideas?

    Thanks Rudegar,
    I only synch and do not stream off of my 1st Gen AppleTV
    I will try with ethernet but will be a pain in the butt if i can not fix it with wifi for long term fix
    I may end up trying to do a named IP address vs DHCP for this appleTV (not sure if i can do both and do not want to remove DHCP as i have a bunch of sensors and other devices that I prefer to dynamically add to the network via DHCP vs. assign each one
    Will keep working on other fix options (factory reset, etc.)
    Thanks again

    In the iPhoto preferences accounts tab delete the account that is not working and re-enter it
    Or better yet IMHO set apple mail as your email client

  • My Mac has FaceTime 2.0 and it is terrible, I tried to download a new copy but the apple store does not have 2.0 Also I chat was the way I communicated before I upgraded. What happened?

    I upgraded to Lion X and have been having problems with FaceTime my version is 2.0 and the Apple store does not have this version, what happened to the changes, I used to use IChat and it was great, this is no longer available. Any hints for video conferencing or for what is going on.

    You can video conference with the iChat component of Messages. Not sure if that's possible with Facetime. I have been using Facetime for video chat without any problems. Quality is no different than with iChat.

    How do I compress a file on a Mac.  I do not see and option to compress a file when I right click on it and the Apple help does not provide and accurate answer

    Select the file with one click, then go to File in the menu bar and select Compress...
    By the way Niel's post says control - click. This means click with the control key held down. It produces the same result as going to File in the menu bar and selecting Compress...

    Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.  See if that clears the glitch.

  • HT1414 My ipad only showes the apple it does not start up

    When I turn on my ipad all i get is the apple, it does not turn on completely.

    Did you try rebooting the iPad?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • If my apple ipod does not respond

    If my apple ipod does not respond to on/off and screen does not respond to touch, does it go back to the shop where it was bought or does it have to be sent to apple?

    For warranty work it depends on where you purchased it. Some resellers have a limited time for when it can be returned and after that you have to go to the manufacturer.
    You can go to Apple at any time. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My phone freezes and the touch screen does not respond to my touch.

    My i-phone 4 has been freezing up on me as of late.  The buttons will still work but the touch screen does not respond to my touch.
    Is my phone hooped or can I do sometinhg to fix it?

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPhone restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • I have 2 people in my contacts that I'm unable to text. The SEND button does not respond

    I Have 2 contacts that I'm unable to text to. The SEND button does not respond. Other contacts will send message.

    Hi Gaylene1949,
    So the issue is isolated to two contacts only.
    There are a couple sections in this article for troubleshooting contact specific issues.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    and
    If you still can't send or receive SMS, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact who's trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that you're using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need to use the contact's international code.
    If you're using a "Pay as you go" SMS plan, make sure it has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if you're unsure of your SMS plan or the available balance.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the contact.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How to set default email account in Apple Mail for Yosemite?

    For some reason, after my upgrade to Yosemite my default accounts are no longer selected as default. I am now sending from an account I only receive email to, and have to change it with every single email I compose. Mavericks didn't do this.
    Has anyone had a similar situation with multiple email accounts in Apple Mail? Any idea on how to force a default?

    If you go to Preferences > Composing there is a dropbox for "Send new messages from:"

  • After having updated the software on my apple tv, i cannot set up home sharing on it (let alone itunes!) simply, the apple tv does not recognise my apple id and password anymore

    i have updated the apple tv software (on one apple tv, ihave 2) after having used for 2 years withou any problem.
    i tried to log in again to watch movies already purchased but i cannot. the itunes store is not available and the home sharing does not recognise my id and password. on my pc i have alsoupdate to the latest software my itunes.
    the second apple tv where i am still resisting tomupdate the software works very well as always.
    help!?

    Hi Everyone,
    hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
    Here's how to do it:
    1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
    2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
    5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
    4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
    5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
    Enjoy!
