  • Just want to find out how to send email? Can receive just fine, but cant send?!?!

    Hi Just wanted to find out how to send email? can receive just fine but cant send. Using hotmail at the moment.
      Any help would be great
    Thanks

    go to your mail providers setup guide and compare every single setting to how your smtp setup in your settings are set
    and if they are not the same change yours to match their page
    and if they are the same contact your isp to inquire as to why they are blocking the ports your mail provider are using

  • Updating iphone 4s to ios 8, install failed for unkown reasons, trying to restore iphone and asked for password. I enter my itunes password then my iphone lock password and still get error message wrong password. What password do they want?

    Trying to update iphone 4s to ios 8. Install failed for "unknown reasons". Trying to restore I phone from I tunes, asked for password to complete restore. I enter ITunes password and then iphone lock password and neither is accepted. What password is required?

    I think the password it asked is the one that you used to encrypt iPhone backup.

  • I backup up my iphone but didnt include password, and now want to restore new handset from backup and keep asking for password but has no idea what it is, pls help

    Hi all, i backup up iphone in itunes but not realised it was password protected and now want to restore new handset from backup but keep asking me for password but no idea what it was,, pls help...

    You are someone had to put a check in the box to encrypt your iPhone backup.
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password you can continue to do backups and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device.

  • We changed our password on our email and now I can't send emails I can receive them.

    We changed our email password and now we can't send emails.

    Hey there Darlene E,
    It sounds like after you changed your email password you can send email, but cannot receive them. Try out the troubleshooting in this article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
    Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
    Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
    Try a different Wi-Fi connection
    If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
    If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Why does imail on my iMac keep asking for passwords, that when I enter the correct one it does not recognise, but Yahoo does, its driving me nuts!!!!

    What is going on at Apple, mail keeps asking for a password, that when I enter, it ignores, my imac is telling me it cannot talk to the Yahoo server, but I can get through every time on Safari. This is driving me nuts!!!

    you are lucky i will say,
    i got problems with email, update,id,keyboard mistyping, wifi, they said they will send me one they never did, and don't reply anymore, after 55 days witha  3 years warranty. good luck. i swear it is true.

  • Ask for password, but not accept, and how to chang...

    Hi!
    I tried to switch from my old e-mail adress to my new, because the older is not alive anymore (delete back in 2010), and I want to switch to the new, but then, Skype asks for my password, and I give it, but always returns with a not correct password error. What can I do?

    I'm afraid that you may be confusing two different 'passwords' - there's your Apple ID (the user name and password that you used to get into these forums) and then there's your computer user name and password - usually two seperate user names and passwords.
    If you want to change your password for your user account on your computer, go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane. Then you can select your user name and change your password there. Changing a user name is a bit complex and I don't think you want to try that!

  • I deleted Yahoo acct- now Yahoo request box pops up constantly asking for password!?

    I had trouble with someone hacking my Yahoo acct- since I haven't used it in years, I deleted it- NOW, every few minutes a box pops up (from Yahoo!) asking for my password.  Is this Yahoo Sync?  I don't have any Yahoo listed in Address book... I can't find any reference to Yahoo in the system.  Where is this request coming from?  How can I stop this madness?  Thank you.

    What is posting the dialog?  Is it from your browser?  Did you (once upon a time) install some yahoo software?
    If it is your browser then look at your add-ons/extensions for anything "yahoo".
    If it's something you installed, then look in your Accounts system preferences login items for any yahoo related app being specified to launch.
    Similarly look in these other places:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents (in your home directory, use Finder Go menu, Go To Folder)
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/StartupItems

  • I just installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3, everything seems fine except I can't send email (I can receive email)

    I have installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3. I can receive email, why can't I send email?

    If you are not using your normal internet connection it could be that you need to obtain the web address for the smtp server (handles outgoing mail) for the connection you are using.  Many internet providers will not let you use their smtp server if your connection is not on their network. 
    Hope this helps,

  • Mail won't send/ download with BT yahoo pop mail account, constantly asks for password... any solutions?

    I have a problem with Mail at the moment - it wont log into / send with a BT yahoo pop account.  Hours of uninstalling and reinstalling/ checking it hasnt changed servers etc... any ideas ?  This is a recurrent but intermittent issue.  Thanks!

    Replying to my own post. The problem was in the Mail.app Preferences file (com.apple.mail.plist). It had become corrupted. I compared this file with a recent backup and discovered an inconsistency. I quit Mail, deleted the problem (two) lines from com.apple.mail.plist, restarted Mail and all was well. Used BBEdit to so this. Simply deleting com.apple.mail.plist and reentering all server info, etc. in Mail would also have done the trick—though with additional work.

  • I can no longer link to emails from web pages: Before, clicking on site's "email person," that address would appear in my email's "TO:" field. Now, yahoo (my email) pops up, asks for password, but does NOT copy email address into the "TO:" field.

    Windows operating system; Firefox is up to date.

    I do believe that it IS a Firefox problem. I didn't have the problem before updating Firefox. Check out this site from Yahoo Answers. It's the same problem, but the advice is no longer accurate: The question was posted years ago, and the "fix" is for an outdated Explorer version. However, the Asker poses the question quite well.

  • Can't send but can receive text with certain number but can send/receive to others

    After a year of texting with an out of network (T mobile) number, yesterday my phone became unable to send text to it.  It receives no problem, sends and receives to other numbers and the t mobile number is sending and receiving other numbers without issue.  I get an error message with the X envelope icon.  I've rebooted and had the old conversation deleted from the t mobile number.  I have no idea how to troubleshoot further

    Success!  I tried *228 but no improvement.  Took the phone to Verizon and they blamed Facebook, which I think is close to the truth.  Verizon doesn't support texting to 11 digit phone numbers, so if your contacts are synched to something that uses that format, it might change the way the phone sees the contacts phone number when it tries to SMS the contact.  Lose the leading 1 and you should be OK.

  • Yahoo mail is not working on my phone..it keeps asking for password even after entering its d same

    Please help me resolve the above stated problem

    Hi Aurion23,
    If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:
