After upgrade to OS6 iPad says my email address is not a valid one since it consists of 2 dashes "--" and letters. How can I set up my account now? Was never a problem before OS6.

As it is now i have to use my mail as a webmail since iOS6 has a crazy function to decide wheter my email address is a valid one or not pending on the letters it holds. Beside the "--" it also says that the Swedish letter "å" (an "a" with a small circle above) is not a valid one.

  • TS2972 i have done all 7 steps recommended by the troubleshooting articles and only when i restart my router does my library show on apple tv2 but only for about 5 minutes, this was never a problem before the updates of itunes and apple tv2,

    i have done all 7 steps recommended by the troubleshooting articles and only when i restart my router does my library show on apple tv2 but only for about 5 minutes, this was never a problem before the updates of itunes and apple tv2, i have spent insane amounts of money on the apple store buying movies and tv shows that i cannot watch anymore, and no there is no firewall on my laptop nor my router, so no port configuration is needed
    i have read many articles for this problem but there is no solution, some say restart the router, others say uncheck the option to sync iphone over wi-fi, others suggest not hitting the "done" button after setting up homeshare on itunes, NONE of them work. My itunes library disappears from ym apple tv 2 after 5 minutes or so

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

    This usually caused by a customised hosts file.
    These need to be the only entries in your /etc/hosts file:-
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1       localhost
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1             localhost
    fe80::1%lo0     localhost
    Remove anything below these entries, then try and reconnect with GC. Once GC starts properly you can put the extra entries back in your hosts file, GC should start normally afterwards.

  • My iPad says my email address is invalid when it is not

    This is an ongoing problem I have with my iPad. I create a login for a site using my usual email address. When I attempt to login again to the site, the iPad insists the email address is invalid So I can't login. I moved to a different email address and the same thing happened. I tried updating the operating system but to no avail.  This is very important as I'm attempting to apply for a new job.

    If this is just happening on one website, that suggests to me that the problem is with the website. Or is this something that happens anywhere that you try to use your email address?

  • I can no longer open any doc attachments. This was never a problem before. Also the W for Word is not an option in the chooser application drop-down list.

    At one point, all my Word icons turned to Microsoft orange icons. I resolved that issue by uninstalling Microsoft Office 2010 and not the starter. I have NEVER had a problem opening doc email attachments I have received. This is a new issue. I used to just double-click on the attachment icon and it opened. Now it gives me nothing. I can't seem to find Microsoft Word as a choice in the drop-down box either. I also tried selecting Microsoft virtual whatever it was, as was suggested in Google, but that did nothing either. I just want to go back to being able to double-click on my attachments and having them pop open. What went wrong in computerland?

    Actually, I solved it myself by compacting my inbox. Yes, it was Thunderbird. All my docs can now be opened. Word starter came with my computer already installed. Never had any trouble in two years until recently. I can now pick Microsoft Word virtual handler and it opens it. I still don't know what happened to the Word icon in the drop down box. Maybe it was never there to begin with, because I NEVER had to pick anything to open an attachment before. I just double-clicked on it and it opened.

  • HT1688 Hello, my husband and myself share an email address.  Therefore all of our iCloud information goes to each others devices.  How can we fix this problem so that we both have seperate i Cloud accounts now that this is already established?

    Hello, my husband and myself use the same e mail address.  When I signed up for the icloud with an update, it combined all of our information on both of our iPhones.  How can I get these two phones and information seperate again? 
    Thank you

    Get separate IDs
    RECEIVING MESSAGES INTENDED FOR OTHER DEVICES
    This occurs if you are sharing the same Apple ID for imessages.
    If you are receiving imessages intended for other devices you can fix this by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
    Uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both devices if they are iPhones; or
    On one of the devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign in with a different Apple ID.  Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for the iTunes & App store for purchasing if you wish; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud and other services.
    To prevent merging of your calendars and contacts when syncing calendars and contacts if you are using the same Apple ID for the iCloud account, be sure to set up separate iCloud accounts on each phone with separated IDs.  Remember that if you change your ID in iTunes & App store, that apps and other purchased content is  forever linked to the ID that was used to download the apps and the apps  can only be updated with the ID that was originally used to download them.  To download content purchased previously downloaded with a particular ID then that ID needs to be used to download past purchases.  If you want all apps to be connected with the same ID you need to delete those apps downloaded with the old ID and download them again with your current and if the apps in question were paid apps then you need to pay again.

  • I have released my rescue email address is not a valid address, ie it has been entered incorrectly.  how do i change my rescue email address when i can't remember the answer to my security questions???

    ... realised... sorry

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team :http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312. Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • How to filter mail to delete email where incoming email address is not a valid address from my address book

    how to create a mail filter which checks the incoming email address with valid address from my address book?

    "Sender is not in my Contacts" is just an example ...
    There are many different options built in to the Rules pane.
    For example,
    If the built in options do not meet your needs, you can create a script. For another "for example" see this discussion for a way to return unwanted mail to the sender:

  • I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8 & Firefox 9.0.1. It takes a significantly longer amount of time for Firefox to open now. I've always had about 5-6 pin tabs that automatically open, but this was never a problem before. Should I downgrade, or is there a fix? Thx.

    Not sure why it takes almost 1-2 minutes for Firefox to fully open and load. It's also not an internet issue, as Safari opens immediately.

    Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
    * [[Session Restore#w_configuring-session-restore|Configuring Session Restore]]
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    Check and tell if its working.
    Might not be related to your problem but some of your Plugins are out-dated
    * Update All your Firefox Plugins -> [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/]

  • My iPhoto locks on any album now. Never a problem before.

    While editing vacation photos, my iPhoto locked up. Esc did nothing. I had to force quit. Now when I open iPhoto, no matter what album I select, I get that rainbow colored pinwheel. Help. I am on Mac OS X  version 10.6.8

    What version of iPhoto?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Post back with the result.
