Can't get hotmail to work

I'm not real computer savy and I'm not real sure what to put in a couple of the lines where you set up your hotmail. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. I don't know what to put in the incoming mail server host name, user name (do I put my email add or what?), and the same for the outgoing mail server (SMTP). Thanks. Kane

Hi Kane - Not sure if you have the free account, or the paid Hotmail Plus account. If you have paid the 20 bucks/year for a Hotmail Plus account, then you can follow my instructions, here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5421540#5421540
If you don't have the Hotmail Plus account, you have two options: You can either sign up for the paid account at this link:
http://get.live.com/mailplus/features
OR
If you want to stick with free Hotmail account, I've read that you can use a 3rd party service called Izymail (http://www.izymail.com) to get your Hotmail on the iPhone through POP. I think it's around $1.50/month. I have concerns about giving my email address and password to a 3rd party, so I opted to go with the Hotmail Plus option and things are working great, now.
Hope that helps. Good luck!

How can i get hotmail to work in mail?

So in hotmail it finally lets me select if I use POP to download Hotmail messages to another program, that program could make it so I can't read my messages on Hotmail. (For example, this might happen if you use Mac Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird).
I have the "Do what my other program says-if it says to delete messages, then delete them." box selected.
however my mail on my it mac says
"There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “[email protected] ” or try again. The server returned the error: The connection to the server “pop” on port 110 timed out."
yet it works on my itouch with mail and hotmail. what is going on? how can i get mail to work with hotmail on my mac?

By doing a Google search for their phone number and their support website.

For one week i can't get hotmail to work using firefox. can use hotmail using internet explorer. i don't like I.E.

for the past week i can open hotmail but i can't open the emails. that happens using mozilla firefox. it's very frustrating. i found out that i can open my hotmail emails using internet explorer. i don't like I.E. i would like to find out how to open up emails using my mozilla firefox. thanks for any help you can give me.

If you have two-step verification turned on in Hotmail, you'll have to log in with a browser and turn it off.

I have an iMac G5 PowerPC running 10.4.11. How can I get Hotmail to work properly?

I understand that 10.4.11 is the highest version of software I can use on my iMac, but when I log in to Hotmail it asks me to upgrade my version of Safari (I'm on 4.1.3 (4533.19.4)) otherwise it continues to "mobile experience". This is usable, but not as good as when I use Hotmail from a Microsoft PC. Any advice? Thanks.

Hi,
Actually you could get 10.5.8 on it & a higher Safari version, but other Browsers are available...
TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...

I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...

Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.

New phone, can't get gmail to work

I'm having problems trying to put my gmail acct on my droid 2. I create a new acct with new password and then I get an error msg. The funny thing is I'll go to google accts and do exactly what they prompt me to do and I still can't enter it on the droid. Weirder still is after I log out online I can't re-access the new gmail account. Anyone else having this problem? Oh and of course, there is no one at google to talk to......

No it is not a stupid question. I tried every possible combination. I even checked the box on googles site about forgot user name. Google sent my user name to my hotmail address. then I went in and reset the password with my user name. So then I tried to set it up on my droid and kept getting an error msg. Went back to google online to login and got an error msg there. Great, by now I'm thoroughly frustrated so I thought I would create a new gmail acct to get it to work on the phone. Same thing happened. Gmail gave me an error msg even though I just created a new acct. So I can't log on my pc or phone and there is no one to contact a google to find out what is wrong.

Have entrourage and want to use Mail. Can't get it to work.

I had a macbook and purchased the Microsoft office for Mac which included Entrourage.
I have now purchased a new macbook Pro and want to begin to use Mail rather than Entrourage.
I have Entrourage on my new computer but i can't get it to transfer my information to the the Mail program
I am on Charter.net at my office and sbcglobal.net at home.
How can i get this to work. I can receive on Mail, but i can't send.

check your outgoing port settings and make sure it's using a specific port and not the default port, also you might want to check to see if it is using SSL, TLS or any other encryption. Verify the setting from your old machine setup.

If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.

Hello,
You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
Best of luck

I have a go daddy email account and I can't get it to work on my iPad

I have a go daddy email account and I can't get it to work on my iPad

Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad.

I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161. Any ideas?

The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
Hopefully, this will solve your device issues.

My iPhone 5 went black. I tried pushing the on/off button and the circle button at the same time. It worked once and then it happened again and I can't get it to work.

Iphone 5 went black. Tried pushing on/off and circle at the same time. Worked yesterday and then did it again today. Can't get it to work.

You need to hold those button longer until you see the apple logo, then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

I bought a DataPilot to transfer my pictures from my phone to my macbook, and I can't get it to work

I bought a DATAPILOT to transfer pictures to my macbook and can't get it to work. Any suggestions please?

Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
There are tutorials here
