Hello, Rileys128.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to receive mail on your iPad. Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue with your AOL account. I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

TS4002 Cannot receive incoming mail. Any Suggestions?

I am able to send mail but not receive it on my iMac with version 10.7.4. I had mac mail and signed up for iCloud. Any suggestions? I have the lightening bolt under the Inbox .Mac mail and then I try to push the mail the spin sign keeps spinning.

After struggling for several more hours with my issue adding my MSN mail account to my new iPhone6's iOS8, I finally figured it out! Apparently, this applies to Hotmail as well.
Here's the fix, in case someone else happens to need it:
Instead of selecting Outlook.com or Other after tapping on "Add Account," select Exchange.
Enter the username as the email address.
Don't enter your password! From the desktop or laptop that you normally use to access your MSN/Hotmail email, log out of your email account and then log back in, go to your account settings, click on Security, and then request a temporary password for access via apps. That password will be a funky, long combination of random letters and/or numbers. It will appear on your computer screen right away.
Enter that password onto your iOS8 device.
Voila, you're done

Hi Rileys128,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you dont receive email from one account on one device. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

We have a hp psc 750 and I have tried everything and cannot get it to print., Any suggestions

Can you give me any suggestions as to what I can do to make this printer print. I have tried everything, shut it down make sure the printer has no previous jobs on it, I need some help

Please read this post then provide some details. What operating system? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen? Will the printer properly make copies?
Do print jobs go through the motions of printing but pages come out blank?

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the MBP forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

How do I recapture purchased and downloaded music for my I Tunes library after inadvertently deleating that info?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very reason.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How do I get incoming mail in one of my mailboxes unstuck. It will not download any mail in one box but the other mailbox works fine

How do I get incoming mail in one of my mailboxes unstuck?? It is trying to download it but seems jammed. The other mailbox is working fine. I know there is mail there because it is coming into my bb. This just started this morning. I took someone's suggestion and duplicated my mail from the library and I then put com.apple.mail.plist on my desktop. I was unable to delete the incoming mail from the mailbox however so don't know what to do.
Help?

Try this: If this is Apple Mail, select the Mailbox, then from the Mail Menu>Mailbox>Rebuild.

Just fixed this on my machine, the easiest way to remove this pop-up assuming you are no longer needing that software to print is the following:
Open Finder
Go > Go To Folder...
Type In: "~/Library/Application Support"
Delete All Folders Named Kodak
Open System Preferences
Go to "Security & Privacy"
Click the lock and enter your admin password
Click the Firewall Tab
Go to "Firewall Options..."
Find KodakAiO
Right-click KodakAiOBonjourAgent or equivalent (I forget the exact name)
Click "Show in Finder"
Go Back to a folder and delete the Kodak Folder there.
Remove Kodak from Firewall Options by selecting it and clicking the " - " button the base of the list.
or
Open Finder
Go > Go To Folder...
Type In: "~/Library/Printers"
Delete All Folders Named Kodak
I'm going off memory, so If I forgot something let me know.

Try this first - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

TS4069 all of a sudden i can't get incoming mail. I can send just fine. I deleted my account and then reintalled it; now it only shows emails going back one month and still not receiving new ones.

I cannot receive incoming mail all of a sudden on my I-Pone 4. I deleted my comcast account and then set it up again as suggested. Now it only loaded messages beginning one month ago; and still not receiving any new. Any ideas?

There are only two things that I can suggest.
The first is to try the Mail Setup Assistant.
The other is giving Mozilla's Thunderbird a shot - setup the account and see if it will work with this free email app. I don't like Mail at all - and it gives some people fits around here (I don't know how many times people have posted about problems with outgoing servers using Mail).
Try both methods - I don't use Mail - I use MS's Outlook (and, before that, Entourage). If the Setup Assistant offers no relief, just try Thunderbird and see if it works with it.
Good luck,
Clinton
