Can't open email accounts and contacts in preferences. Pinwheel freeze

I had problems downloading attachments so I entered the Mail Contacts and Calendars folder in System preferences and entered my gmail address there, after which downloads forwarded to that account came through fine. The only problem is that when I tried to get back in to add another email address the icon kept trying to load and giving me a pinwheel. This went on for several hours, and eventually I forced a quit. I have tried again twice, both times with the same problem. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong and how I can put it right?

Only other option is hard resetting (please backup all your personal data first), by going into Settings > About > Reset your phone.
If that doesn't work, then you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for them to inspect.

Can't open email accounts

Cannot open email accounts on my iPad?

Try to go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars, delete, exit out, go back in and re-enter your account info
You can also try to force quit the mail app. Double tap the home button. Flick the preview for the mail app up and off the screen, Single tap on the home button to exit the mode and try again
Beyond that we need more to go on please.

Can't open emails easily and can't edit personal f...

Hi, I'm using windows xp and google chrome but can't easily open emails. I have to access a dropdown menu and then click open. How do I correct this? I can't edit my personal folders either. I've run the BT Desktop Help troubleshooter tool which says the email is working fine but clearly it is not. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

For a start ecnalyecar I'd get rid of BT Desktop Help - it is reportedly more trouble than it is worth. I'm sure that others more knowledgeable than me will be able to help with your main problem though.
banjodag - all ISPs have their good and their bad times. When they are good they are good but when they are bad........ doesn't bear thinking about. But seriously BT have been going through a particularly bad patch over the last week or so but I have been with BT for a number of years now and on the whole they have been good. It's just that they have one or two glaringly bad bits. Customer service being located offshore is oine particularly bad bit as is the manner in which the e-mail migration has been (mis)managed. But as I say you takes your pick etc.

Lumia 820: can't open email+accounts in Settings

I just bought a Lumia 820 and want to to set up my different accounts for it but when I go to Settings>Email+accounts nothing happens, after going to a black screen showing the text "Loading..." for a few seconds, the text "Resuming..." comes up very briefly and then I am brought back to the Settings page. I've tried rebooting and soft resetting (vol down+power button) a couple of timers already but this doesn't help.
Anyone knows what could be going on?
Solved!

After system date/time reset macbook pro can't open any programs and access system preferences

Hi,
Booted my macbook pro 2009 and the time was reset to 2001, a prompt asked me to change settings or else the computer might function erratically. So i changed the date and time settings as suggested but then suddenly it stopped working. I restarted the computer but i could no longer open any programs. My dock was gone, the screen background was changed back to the original and i couldn't access the system preferences. Every time i click on the apple icon the screen just refereshes and that's it.
My laptop hasn't been turned off for the last 48 hrs before this happened. i was working and uploading huge files to dropbox and since my internet connection was really slow, i had to keep it on so it would upload continously. Was thinking this might have caused some malfunction.
Has anyone experienced this kind of issue?

You need to charge the computer, perhaps the battery went dead.
Do a SMC and PRAM reset, see if that assists.
Also hold the shift key after that upon boot, that will fix things
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3046
If you get into your account, see if system preferences opens and try to set the time and date, align with Apple's servers, reset the screen saver and desktop picture see if it holds upon a reboot
If not your going to have to delete your
com.systempreferences.plist
file in your
"User"/Library/Preference folder
Reboot the machine and then open System Preferences and reset your preferences.
Now in 10.6, the "User"/Library/Preference folder is not hidden
In 10.7 the "Users"/Library/Preferences folder IS hidden
so in 10.7 you need to use the Finder > Go To Folder and type
/Library/Preferences
and click OK
Then scoll down to the file above, there will be two of them perhaps, one is a lock file the other one you can Trash, so do that and reboot.

How do I go back a page on the Ipad mini? I do not see any arrows anywhere. Also when I go to my yahoo email account and open an email I can not find how to go back and log out. This is our first Ipad and it is very different frm android. Thanks

We just purchased our first Ipad. It is a mini with retina display 16 GB. How do I go back a page? I see no arrows to page back. Also when I log into a yahoo email account and open an email I see now way to log out? Thank you for any help

In Safari, (the web browser), there are specific arrows to go back and forward through website pages.
In other Apps, it will depend on how the App is built.
As to Yahoo Mai it depends on where you are viewing the email. If you are using the Mail App, then you don't log out. The Mail accounts in the Mail App are always there.
If you are using the Yahoo App, You can Tap on the folder at the top, then on your account/name, and then on Sign Out.

I'm having trouble with my Apple ID. I changed my email account, and recently (a month ago) and since I switched is requested every time I open any app to Apple ID password to the old email. How can I solve this? Could it be that my iPhone 4S is in sync with my Ipod???

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPhone. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

Hi Apple support, my name is Derek Turner and I have been hacked through a friend's email account and I wish to know if 1. I can clean my email list of names and account with software and 2. How is it possible to delete emails that are still coming back

Hi! My name is Derek Turner and I have been hacked through a friend's email message to me which I opened unsuspecting any danger. Initially, he sent me an 'attention' or warning email with a link which I tried to open but it could not be opened, so I left it not knowing what it was all about at the time. Later, I received another email from him (probably the hacker) and opened a 'not very pleasant' web site. It did not twig with me at the time as I am a bit new to this type of thing but when I mentioned it to my wife she immediately said that I had been 'hacked'. By this time it was too late, and it infected all my email addresses! I would be grateful if you may know if there is software that I can use to clean up my email account and if there is anything for iPad minis that can prevent this happening in future? (Malware, Firewall?). I am also getting emails back that relate to the hacker and I cannot 'delete' them from my iPad, only on my PC! Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time regarding this matter,
Derek Turner,( a very new iPad mini user!)

Hi,
I don't think that can be solved by any advice the regular posters could post here.
I would go back to Apple and explain the situation (again).
I would also consider closing the account (Apple rarely seem to do this as accounts are never deleted but just closed).
I understand this may cause issues for things purchased in iTunes and the App Store which my include Restoring the OS at some point.

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've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

How can I transfer my email accounts and emails from my old macbook pro with ML to my new macbook pro with ML

How can I transfer my email accounts and emails from my old macbook pro with ML to my new macbook pro with ML

Do you have your system backed up to Time Machine? If so, you can open your user Library and copy your Mail folder from Time Machine to your Desktop on your new machine; then copy THAT folder to your new machine's user Library.
To get to your user Library, open Finder and Go and press the Option key. Library will show up. Click on it to get into your user Library. Now go into Time Machine and you should see your user Library for Time Machine. Restore the Mail folder to your Desktop.

I have 2 emails accounts and would like to be able to have them both open at the same time. Is this possible?

I have 2 emails accounts and would like to be able to have them both open in Firefox in different tabs and be able to access each one. Now what I have to do is open one account in Firefox and open the other account in Internet Explorer. I would like to just use Firefox, if possible. Can you help me?
Thank you,
Phyllis

hi melansonp, these 2 emails accounts are from one webmail or from 2 differents ?

My email was deleted and I have long since forgotten the password - plus I must have typed personal information in incorrectly... I can't reset my password (email goes to deceased email account) and I have $$$$ left! What do I do?

You do realize that there are many, many email providers and without knowing which one you are talking about, there is no way to answer your question?
Which then leads to this ..... Have you contacted your email provider about this? That's probably the best place to start. See what they recommend.
