Can't access mail after ios 8 Update- iPad 2

Updated to ios 8 on iPad 2. Tonight mail app has ben crashing after it trys to open. Repeatedly. Everything was working fine before upgrade and now having issues with mail, slow to open anything in Safari, poor wifi connection, etc. I feel like an idiot for trusting the upgrade, should have known better!! Genius Bar appointments are booked out a week and chat wants to charge me $19 to get with them. I feel like going back to Windows!! Terrible support from Apple!!!

Because Apple does not participate in the forum. That was indicated in the information that you agreed to when you joined the ASC. If you want to ask a question and describe your problem, maybe someone will answer. If you would like to speak with Apple, then you need to use the Contact Us link on the bottom of each page here.
And in your original post, you indicate that you solved the problem. In regards to your final question there, I would say the problem lies with your email provider. They determine what settings are necessary to access and use their email. If the account would not work with SSL on, and works with it turned off, that indicates they do not use SSL. I would be leery about an email provider that does not use some type of security.

  • Can't access Facebook after IOS 7.1.1. Update

    I can't access Facebook on my Ipad via Safari after the 7.1.1. IOS update. I only get a blank page. I can access Facebook via a FB app, so it's not Facebook. I have restarted the Ipad ,cleared cookies and  the history to no avail.  What is wrong? This has never happened before.

    Google has gotten more security conscience.  Do you want others to read your email?  VPN is a good thing.
    When you try to access google without the vpn on, do you get an email from google saying that they have rejected your connection attempt from a client.   There is a google parameter to allow email from an unsecure client.  Google will send you an email telling you how to make the change, when they reject your email client.  It's a hidden parameter.
    A lot of folks have gotten hacked recently in the US, so companies are implementing more security.

  • Can't get mail after iOS 8.3 download

    After iOS 8.3 download, I can't get my mail (ymail) On my iPad. Have tried deleting the account, adding a server, rebooting, everything I could think of. Still won't work. Does anyone have a fix for this problem?

    Have tried that a couple of times. Has not helped. Any other thoughts?

  • Can't Open Mail after security update 10.6.8

    I can not get the mail app to run.  This is the error message I keep getting.
    Did the SecUpd2012-004 update.
    After the update, I had (and still have) 2 copies of mail in my application folder.
    I've repaired my permissions.
    Tried to got back using the time machine (that was a waste of hours).
    Also, deleted the mail app (8.1) and then reinstalled the SecUpd2012-004.
    Only thing I haven't done is to do the Combo 10.6.8 update.
    I've noticed that other people are starting similar threads.  Anybody have a solution?  I've been working on it all day and no joy.
    Thanks in advance.

    Well, I thought that we might have had a solution, but no such luck.
    I did the combined update - and after that I had only one Mail app in the applications folder (encouraging) - and it appeared to be the correct one by it's icon.
    Thought about doing a repair permissions but didn't do it after the combined update.
    After the combined update, I did the secUpd, the second mail app was there with it's generic icon again and
    Needless to say, I'm back to square 1.
    So, I'm thinking I've got some options here.  One of my options would be to get another HD, slug it into one of the open HD slots, take out my 10.6 CD format it and then if possible use time machine to put that drive in the state where everything worked right before the update.  This would seem to be the fastest, time wise way of making the issue go away.
    You guys think I could / should delete the 4.6 mail app and start over with the combined update and then do a permissions repair after the update?

    Thank you for the very clear basic instructions—helpful for a newbie.…Also my first screen shot !! I see that it does not have .App next to it
    Most likely because you have Finder's preferences->Advanced->Show all filename extensions unchecked. Check it, log out, and back in and all the apps should display the .app extension.
    Now, back to your problem. If you installed the Security Update 2012-004, it failed to update Mail to 4.6; thus, your problem. Manually DL it from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586 and reinstall it.

  • Can't access gmail after ios 8.1.2 installation

    I've been living and working in China and using iphone for the past 5 years without any problem accessing any of my gmail accounts.  But for the past couple of weeks after I upgraded to iOS to 8.1.2 on my iphone 5S and my ipad air 2, I noticed I don't have access to gmail on either device unless I turn on VPN.  I know China does not like Google so it kicks out all of the google's services but iphone and ipad never had issues with access to gmails.   This is true with desktops and I have to turn on VPN to get to my mail.  I would hate to have VPN on at all times because it drains the battery and it disconnects frequently.  Does any one know how to solve this issue?

  • Can't send mail after AirPort update

    After I installed the latest AirPort update, I can no longer send emails through Mac Mail but I can still receive them. I can send emails if I plug my MacBook directly into the cable service router through the ethernet port. According to my ISP (Cox), I have Mail configured to work properly. Is there a setting on the AirPort that I need to change?

    The error message says:
    "The sender address [my email address] was rejected by the server smtp.east.cox.net.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered."
    There is only one server I can use. There is a button for the Connection Doctor, and that shows all green lights.

  • Can't receive mail after security update 9/19/12

    iMac runiing 10.6.8 and Mail version 4.6 has not received any emails since I did software update on 9/19/12. I can receive mail in my accounts on my iPhone.

    You're welcome.
    The thing is, AFAIK Mail wouldn't put the message in the Sent mailbox unless it has received confirmation from the outgoing server that the message has indeed been sent, so it seems to me that the problem is not that messages are not being sent, but rather that they don't arrive at the destination for some reason.
    I bcc myself on every email for filing reasons and have
    not recieved one of my own emails since Friday night.
    Do you receive other mail normally? Have you checked for those messages on the web?
    I can log into my employers web tool and send email that way,
    so something is going on with my machine, whatever it is.
    Well, not necessarily. Maybe there is something wrong with the outgoing server you're using in Mail. Is this your only mail account? Do you have access to any other outgoing server that you could try?

  • Can't send mail after security update

    Hello, I installed a security update friday night, and can no longer send email using either Mail 2.1 or Thunderbird. Both were working prior to the security update.
    I am not getting any error messages except for the ones over the phone that go..."did you get my email? What email?" In fact, both Mail and Thunderbird give every indication that the email was sent.
    I can mail myself a test from a web program, so my smtp server is working.
    I can receive mail fine.
    I am blaming the security update for this, but I have no idea where to look or what to do. Can I uninstall the update?

  • I can't access Mail settings on my iPad

    When I try to access the Mail accounts under Setting on my iPad I'm immediately thrown back onto the Home screen. The iPad uses iOS 5.1.

    Quit the settings app completely and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work, try a reset.
    Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.

  • IPhone 4 downloading old mail after iOS update

    I have the mail app set up to download my comcast email. I have it set not to delete messages from the server because I still want them to download into outlook on my home computer. I have had it set up this way since the original iPhone and never had a problem. Now after installing the new iOS, it is downloading all my old emails over again. How do I make it stop doing this? I have not changed any settings. I only installed the new iOS that came out when 4s was released.

    The phone will still download the most recent emails from the server. The number of recent emails it will download is in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Show [50 or 100 or 200] Recent Messages.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • Can't connect to wifi after IOS update.  Do you know a solution?

    Loaded the new update and now it is sporatic connections with the wi fi.  I have unplugged the router and all that, still no luck.  It will work normally very briefly, but only briefly after I unplug the router, etc.
    Do any of you have a solution to fix this?
    Thank you!

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
