Can't get mail to work on new iphone

i have two accounts,yahoo and comcast, neither is working on my new iphone 5. the phone accepted the setting for the comcast account, but still no mail. the yahoo account keeps asking me for the password, despite me entering it the mail settings various times. it then tells me the yahoo server is unavailable, try later. has been happening for quite some time.

Did you ever get this to work? Did you have to delete your comcast account and setup new account? My Iphone 5 is doing the same thing - asking for password and then never connects to server - times out

Can't Get Push to Work on New iPhone

I just replaced by Gen1 iPhone with a 3GS. Everything went easy as can be, except for one thing - none of the apps that had Push Notifications enabled and working on my old iPhone are working on my new iPhone. In general prefs I have Push enabled globally and individually for each app, and for those apps that have their own prefs, I enabled it there.
Some examples: Loopt, AP News, Echofon, etc.
Is there something I need to do on my old phone to "unregister" it or something? I already blanked it, unfortunately. Please let me know if anyone knows anything. Thanks!

i cannot answer to loopt or echofon (i do not use them) but apnews does no push many updates at all (sometimes days go by without an update).
as a test download the ebay app (free) enable push notifications and then watch an item that is going to end soon (and wait for the notification)

Can't get Mail to work - I get the spinning wheel and Mail freezes. I have to Force Quit it. How do I fix this?

Can't get Mail to work - I get the spinning wheel and Mail freezes. I have to Force Quit Mail . How do I fix this problem?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

After installing IOS 5 can't get mail to work...

I have been having trouble installing IOS 5 on my Ipad and part of the problem may have been with my home computer... In any event, I finally was able to get it on but the result is a bit discouraging. All my apps are there, but I lost everything on them... not that there was much... but my main concern is that I can't get Mail to work... I go in settings and when I click on mail... it just goes back to the page with all the icons... I have tried reinitializing and all... but nothing works... Any idea what is the issue and how to fix it ?

First try rebooting your iPad. Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. If that does not help, you may need to restore your iPad in iTunes. You can restore from a backup (assuming you have a backup to restore from).

My ipad and iPhone have different email addresses in the FaceTime field but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone, how can I get them both working on facebook

My ipad has a different email address than my iPhone, both are mine but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone but seem unable to change the email address in that field

If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

Can't get email to start on new iphone 4s

Can't get email to start on new iphone 4s - stuck on the 'Welcome to Mail' screen, when I click on Google and enter my account details, then Next, it tells me 'This Gmail account has already been added to your iPhone.' Similarly for icloud. But that's all it lets me do. Help please

Instead I went to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tapped the Gmail account and found that the Mail button was switched off. Duh.
Thanks for your help randers4

I can't get mail to work behind proxies

I am trying to get to my exchange mail to work behind another company's proxies.
I proxies set-up in system Prefernces/Wi-fi.
Outlook connects fine as there are some preferences for entering your proxy settings. Mail states that I have the passpord incorrect (wich I dont).
I am no proxy expert, but sounds like mail isn't using them.
Any ideas??? THanks!

It might - thanks. I should add, though, that I can't get safari to work on the iPod, either. So it could be something to do with the wireless. The iPod touch is supposed to have wireless capabilities - honestly, it wouldn't matter much to my parents if it didn't; they never touch email, but I would love to be able to mail them!
Those steps at the link are pretty much what I've been doing. I'll try again when I have a stronger wireless connection. Then I'll let you know what happens.

HT4929 OS 10.5.8: Can't get mail to work using the recommended icloud settings

Grandma has a G5 imac running 10.5.8 and a .mac account under my master account. Moved her to icloud today, and can login via icloud.com and can see her mail there. Read the article, and using 'Mail' (Vs 3.6)on her mac, deleted her old .mac account, and tried to set up a new account manually, using the settings in the article:   imap.mail.me.com, SSL on, her usual user name, and her password (which, btw, works fine on the icloud.com site)
Also, for outgoing, used smtp.mail.me.com, SSL, etc, etc
Tried it 5 times, doesn't work.
Watched a youtube video, where it worked, followed exactly, didn't work! Help, anyone?   Thanks

I found the answer to this problem on a Nov 2011 posting. Amazing that the current icloud migration notices don't clarify this:
If you were to start a brand new icloud account, they would require at least 8 characters, upper and lower cases, including numbers. If however you are migrating a .mac or .me account to icloud, your old password may not meet those requirements. So, icloud keeps rejecting the attempt to set up an account via the 'Mail' app.
You need to go to   http://appleid.apple.com     to sign in with your old password, then change to one meeting the new requirements. Do not use http://iforgot.apple.com

Can't get mail to work

Hi-
I'm trying to set my "mail" up but can't seem to get it to work. I took all of the connection info off of Entourage for connecting to my mail server (charter.net) but when I go to set up the account, it gives me an error that it can't connect via an SSL , Would I like to try without it? When I say yes, the little "thinking wheel" just keeps spinning and never connects. I must be doing something wrong but @@!!### if I can figure out what it is.
Thanks-
DMitzelfeldt

I have my SSL on. Here are my settings for Comcast. Maybe you can just use this as a guideline. It's working fine for me.
First go to Settings and choose Mail.
Under accounts, click on the account name you created to edit it.
Under POP Account Information:
Name: Your Name
Address: Your e-mail address.
Description: Your name for the account.
Under Incoming Mail Server:
Host Name: mail.comcast.net
User Name: [email protected] (your full e-mail address)
Password: password for the account
Under Outgoing Mail Server:
Host Name: smtp.comcast.net
User Name: [email protected] (your full e-mail address)
Password: password for the account
Then click on Advanced
Under incoming settings:
Use SSL On
Authentication - Select "Password"
Delete from server - I selected Never
Server Port 995
Outgoing Settings
Use SSL On
Authentication - Select "Password"
Server Port 587
You may have to ask charter.net what your server ports are for incoming and outgoing, if these don't work.
I hope this helps.

Can't get alarm to work on new ipod--never had trouble with old ipod

Greetings all,
I just got a new Classic 120GB and it is great but I can't get the alarm clock to work...when I set a time for the alarm clock, it doesn't seem to remember this time but it instead defaults to an hour later than the current actual time...I tried several times to reset the alarm for a minute or two in the future so I could test it and see if it made any sound...I have reset the ipod and the normal time and date display is correct. I also can't get the beep sound to work, although I can hear the clicking when you scroll through things and so the internal speaker is clearly working. I used my old Ipod Photo for years as my alarm clock and I never had a problem with it...anyone have any idea how to fix this? I have the most recent ipod software, am using an older 17" G4 powerbook running 10.4.11. is there something obvious I am overlooking?

update: I can get an alarm message (you have an alarm) and a choice to dismiss or "snooze" but the internal speaker is still not kicking in and obviously a silent alarm is not ideal in this instance. When I try to hear the "beep" under tones, it doesn't make any sound but bounces me back to "sounds"...I can hear the clicking when scrolling and so the speaker seems activated but is muted somehow for the alarm. My old Ipod had a nice little alarm sound and I was hoping to use my new Ipod as an alarm clock as well...not a life or death thing, but I can't figure this out and I have read everything I could find. Help!

Can't get Nvidia to work in new kernel

Hi,
Yes, I know, loads of people have problems getting this to work and it has been posted thousands of times...but yet I can't do it! I've been trying for days, googling, reading the wikis and forums, but it won't work for me at all! I guess I'm doing something really evidently wrong, but what?
I've compiled a low latency kernel to allow me to run some midi applications that my wife absolutely must have (and she won't accept my move to Arch until I get them to work ) Now, this part is OK - I've succeeded here no probs. But no amount of work will get that Nvidia card up and running. I've tried this using abs in the following way: I've copied /var/abs/extra/nvidia-96xx to /var/abs/local/nvidia-96xx/ In nvidia.install I've changed KERNEL_VERSION from 2.6.25-ARCH to 2.6.21-rt; I've done the same thing in PKGBUILD; and I've changed pkgname in PKGBUILD to nvidia-custom. Then I've run makepkg -i -c...nothing. It seemed to build the first time I tried, however on booting into the new kernel I got greeted by a blank screen (and pacman won't let me re-install the NVIDIA driver, either) However, the second time it refused (I think it was a permissions problem). So I tried the same manipulation, this time copying /var/abs/extra/nvidia-96xx to my home directory. Still nothing. What am I doing wrong? Sorry for being such an Arch noob!
Thanks in advance!

OK, here is the exact error message when I try to do this manually:
The CC version check failed.
The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc 4.2) does not exactly match the current compiler (gcc 4.3). The Linux 2.6 kernel module rejects kernel modules built with a version of gcc that does not exaclt match that of the compiler used to build the running kernel.
If you know what you are doing and want to ignore the gcc version to check, select "No" to continue installation. Otherwise, select "yes" to abort installation, set the CC environment to the name of the compiler used to compile your kernel, and restart installation. Abort now?
Does the fact that I find nvidia.ko where it should be mean that this is the problem when I try to install Nvidia with abs? How do I set the CC environment like it says? I don't really understand this message.
