Can't access email over wifi with iPhone 5, iPod Touch, or iPad

All was working fine, then suddenly stopped. Get message "Cannot Get Mail The connection to the server failed.", followed by "Cannot Get Mail The mail server "imap.yahoo.com" (or "imap,gmail.com) is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings." message. Email works on cellular connection on iPhone; not an option on iPad or iPod Touch. I've tried verifying settings, resetting all devices, deleted and reinstalled email accounts (yahoo and gmail). No luck. Any suggestions?

I got this error for my Gmail, and Hotmail accounts but not for my Exchange account at work. It seems to be a problem on Apple's side since it affects multiple mail systems.

Can't connect to my wifi with my new iPod Touch 5g?

I've been having this problem for two days now.
I can't connect to my home network.
When i'm trying to connect, it keeps moving around as if it is trying to connect but never connects. I let it for 30 minutes this evening.
Let me tell you what i did:
I restarted both my iPod's and Home's network. Didn't work
I restored the iPod's software and it didn't work.
I tried to connect to others wifi networks and it does work.
To my home network i connect others devices as well. I have my computer, ps3, etc etc.....Even my phone
I don't know what to do. Can you please help me?

Can't get email over wifi at home, but can at work.

Okay, I think this is a problem with settings on my time capsule, but I can't figure out what. On my iPhone 5 and wife's iPad I can get email over the cellular network and over wifi at work. I can't get email over wifi at home, get a can't connect to server error. Also had a friend, who uses the same ISP, try with his android phone - same error, but works over wifi at his house. Since I can get email over cellular and wifi at work, I'm fairly confident that I have the server settings correct. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Was facing a similar issue with my friend's iPad (Latest one). Forcing the DNS Server to 8.8.8.8 (I think Google's DNS servers) fixes this issue. I had faced something similar on my iMac a long time back. Something a little strange about how Apple products do a DNS lookup? Not sure if it is an issue with the response time of the DNS servers as well..
In any case, the good news was changing it to 8.8.8.8 worked.. Luckily the iPad's network configuration tool allows you to navigate to the pane where you can see the DHCP supplied IP addresses and just go to the DNS field, delete what was present there and force it to this address.
The difficulty in coming to this conclusion was the fact that the browser works fine for all the sites we had tried. It is mostly the apps that had trouble, and the App store also was inconsistent in reporting details..

I have two accounts with iTunes. Can they be merged or somehow combined so that I can have access to everything from both my old iPod Touch and my new iPhone5?

No.
You can authorize your computer for both accounts. Put all of the music on one computer. Sync your devices to that computer.

Our household has two IPhones, two IPod Touches, 1 IPad and 1 computer. we want to have it all under the same Apple ID for the purpose of Home Sharing, but my two kids iPODs cannot use their facetime or messaging becuase it shows they are on my iphone.

HELP! We have several Apple devices in our household (2 iPHOnes, 2 IPOD touch, 1 iPAD), and cannot get them to work correctly becuase my two children have to be under my creditcard and apple account. When I do this they cannot send me messages or facetime me, and when then try to do so with their friends it says my name and IPhone. Also, my husband and I want two seperate credit cards for iTUNEs but want to take advantage of the home share, but the one computer we have will not let us share. and had to have 2 apple ids created. WHy is this so confusing? Cant I reset everything under my Apple ID, and allow everyone to have their own email accounts and identity? ON top of all this, I have two AppleIDs, because my original one was a yahoo account and they changed over to me.com, now icloud.com/ HELP

Have a look here...

Why can't I email videos taken with iphone 4 from my mac

Why can't I email videos taken with my iphone 4 from my Mac? It says the video is to big or long but the particular one I am trying to send is only 1 min 16 sec long. I don't remember having this problem with my 3gs. I am trying to email them with my yahoo act, and I see this very same question was asked July of 2010, but their are no replies. It may be a very simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. Surly, I don't have to reduce my videos to 30 sec or less to get them to send. Can anyone please help a gal out?

Go into the Activity Monitor and Quit or Force Quit the Acrobat process.

Can't sync email sub-folders with iPhone 4 using iOS 5?

I can sync most everything from my laptop using Outlook except the subfolders in my email. It will sync email but I have a number of sub-folders to organize my email that will not sync with iPhone. Any ideas?

So far this seems to have fixed it. For some reason when upgrading to iOS5 it has changed some settings in mail. Now if you send any .mac or .me emails using apple.com no problem. But other services such as optonline.net for example things changed. By checking the smtp settings, there should be a couple, this seemed to fix it, however once I did that all the email in the folder disappeared and said it could not download email without a password, yes the password now disappeared. I put it back in and so far it works sending and receiving on the ipad 2. I am going to try on the ipad1 and iphone 4...............

HT3669 How can I enable scanning over WiFi with Epson PX-504A?

I have driver 9.00 (9.11?) installed. I am trying to get access to the scanner through wifi.
It seems I can print over WiFi, but the scanner is not connecting.
This works in Linux by installing a network driver and using the Image Scan! software.
How does it work in MacOS?

Hope this is helpful to someone. I have an Epson Xp-300 connected to my MacBook Air through AirPrint/ wifi. The printer doubles as a scanner. When you open up the 'Printers & Scanners' function on the MacBook, you can choose a tab to either print or scan. If you choose scan, you can then choose 'open scanner'. That cranked up the scanner and opened a dialogue box to process the scan. I stuck my photos on the glass, chose 'save to iPhotos', did an 'overview' to make sure all was well and then hit 'scan'. The scanned photos then appeared via wifi in my iPhotos application. Haven't gone past that yet and am still feeling my way but hopefully I'll work out how to stream them to others.

Can only send email over wifi?...

Anybody have any clues why this would happen? I get a message that the server is not responding if I try to send an email on the 3g network (Orange, France) but it works fine once hooked up to wifi. Sending an identical email at the same time with the computer over wifi goes through so it's not a timing issue.

Could be that you using your ISPs SMTP

Can't send email over wifi

I can receive email over wi-fi, but not send. It works fine over 3G. It's a pop account. Any help is appreciated.

Who is the email account provider for this email account and does the account have an authenticated SMTP server - authenticated with a user name and password as is required to check for any receive email?

HT3748 Can't access gmail exchange account with iPhone 5s

Cannot get messages on gmail exchange account. Error message: cannot connect with server.

Thank for comments. I have fiddled around with oarental control and if I remove the web restriction its fine; when I put it back on its a problem. I tried adding the addresses to the acceptable list, but it must be the https that is the problem.
Instead of WebMail, setup the Account in Mail App, either POP or IMAP, then you'll have control of who they can eMail, & once you OK ot they can get/send eMails.
I have set up in Mail, but not sure how that gives me control of who they can eMail. Can you say a bit more on that?
Thanks

San Jose Airport - SJC Free WiFi on iPhone or iPod Touch?

While waiting for a delayed flight last week I saw a sign touting new free WiFi at Sand Jose Airport (SJC). But, though I could connect with my Touch (4 bars)I could not get out to the internet.
I pulled out my laptop and after a browser redirect to accept terms, it connected ok, but they are using a VPN through AnchorFree that I had to accept. Anyway, no problems on a laptop.
Since they had 24/7 toll free support, I called and they said lots of iPhone and iTouch users had called but so far they had no solution for the iPhone or Touch.
Here is the press release:
http://www.sjc.org/newsroom/press/2008/wifi.htm
Is anybody able to get on sjcfreewifi at SJC with iPhone or iTouch?
I can get wifi access in many other places but this particular infrastructure is causing problems that still seem to be an issue after two months of operation. I get an IP, I am connected, but somehow Safari cannot follow the redirect to accept the terms and use the VPN. Surely someone in Cupertino must have seen this by now?

back at SJC today and SJC free wifi works now!! Safari now redirects to accept terms page.

Finally Got iPhone 3GS - can I use my old (1st gen) iPhone as iPod Touch?

Got my new 3GS this morning - now looking to see if I can get any use from the old 1st gen iPhone it replaces.
Is it possible to run a 1st generation iPhone without a SIM, so that it functions like an iPod Touch? The only functions I need on the old one are iPod related - play music, video - I don't mind losing apps, internet etc.
Any ideas?
