Cannot Get Mail (iPod touch and iPad)

Hi all.
Had to move from MobileMe to iCloud.  So I moved the iMac from OS X 10.6.8 to 10.7.4 (Lion).
Then moved from MobileMe to iCloud.
On my initial test, on the day of the moves, I could send and receive emails without problems on the iMac, the iPod, the iPad and on the iCloud site.
Then, one day later, I couldn't receive emails on the iMac.  As was suggested here in Discussions, I turned SSL on for my main account;  this automatically changed the port number (!?) and fixed the problem.
Except that today, I can receive emails on the iMac and on the iCloud site, but both the iPod and the iPad (both at IOS 5.1.1) display the message "Cannot Get Mail - The user name or password for "Name_of_my_account" is incorrect."
I KNOW that I made no change to either the user name or the password.
Anyone have a clue as to what the problem is this time???
Thanks!

Hi all.
My problem solved, kind of:
realized that my ISP support an IMAP server.  I was already using their email as my main email address, and only used MobileMe for synchronisation purposes.  (And in order to achieve that, I needed to configure two accounts, etc.)
So what I did is simple:  I deleted all my mail accounts (on iMac, iPod and iPad), recreated one mail account using my ISP's IMAC server:  BINGO!  mail accounts on all three devices are now in sync.  I then created iCloud accounts on each device to sync Contacts, Calendars, etc, BUT NOT MAIL.
(By the way, since I had about 100 emails in my Inbox that I did not care to read, file or trash immediately, I exported the Inbox before deleting the accounts and then re-imported them into the new IMAC account.)
Good luck to all!

  • How do I get my IPod touch and Ipad to play songs/albums downloaded from my Icloud correctly??

    I used ITunes match just fine.  But, tracks/entire albums play incorrectly - song plays about 1 minute, then skips to next song which plays for about 1 minute, etc.  This is true for both IPod Touch and IPad (1).  The same files downloaded from ICloud play fine on the computer and they also play fine on AppleTV.  I have deleted and redownloaded these files numerous times, which makes no difference.  Purchased music and some ripped from CD's play correctly on Touch and Ipad.  This also seems to be connected CDs that were ripped and reencoded at a higher version before uploading.  The files in question are now Matched AAC audio files.

    You would need to restore the backup of your iPad Mini to your iPod Touch, and the apps would need to be compatible with both devices.
    Restoring the backup to your iPod Touch will overwrite the data and settings with those contained in the backup so if you have anything on your iPod that you want to save, you would need to do that first.

    Syning with iTunes is completely separate from iCloud, except that if you have elected to sync calendars and contacts with iCloud you cannot sync them with iTunes.

    Mirroring is only available on iPhone 4S and iPad (Gen 2 and 3). In regards to airplay (which is a separate feature to mirroring), not all apps are enabled and this is up to the developer.

  • I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized at other times. Is it because i am not uninstalling it

    I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized subsequently. Is it because i am not uninstalling itunes before I download it? Surely this is a basic thing, ie that my devices need to recognize each other?

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer

    I have done the latest upgrade on software for itunes, upgraded the software on both my ipod touch and ipad and now itunes will not sync.  As soon as it starts the syncing process I get a pop up window (I'm on Windows XP) that says that there's an error and itunes has to shut down.  I ran the diagnostics test and it says there's no error.  Not sure what to do now.

Thanks.

    If iTunes does not see your iPod then your only hope is a data recovery company. Not cheap.
    However, you may be able to get some photos by:

    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore another iPOd, iPhone or iPad from that backup. See the restore topic of:

    Try holding the Sleep/Wake + Home buttons down for AT LEAST 15 seconds. If that does not work, get it serviced. Sounds like a hardware issue--like battery, Sleep/Wake switch or logic board.

  • WRT54GC Wireless router problem with iPod touch and Ipad

    Hi
    I have a WRT54GC wireless router and both my ipod touch and ipad can connect to the network. They can both use the internet for like one minute and then the internet becomes very slow, and dies. Network connections are lost and I'm getting messages like 'can't connect to itunes' or 'lost connection with youtube'. The wireless router works fine for the laptops in the house (all windows). In the house where I live in the week (closer to my school) there is another router and i don't have the problem over there, also no problem to connect to my schools wireless network... So I think it's a combination problem of apple products and that router. I've tried a lot, like resetting network configuration, updating firmware, changing from wpa to wep1,... Anyone an idea?
    Thank you
    Bert

    oh and the connection to the router isn't lost.
    Thank you

  • Outlook 2010 Syncing With iPod Touch and iPad

    I have a PC with Outlook 2003 that sync’s with iPod Touch and iPad. I plan to buy a new PC with Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. Comcast tells me they don’t support Outlook (They support Outlook Express) but Outlook 2003 currently works fine on my PC with Windows XP. I have the following questions:
    - . Is there an alternative to Outlook 2010 that will sync with my iPod Touch and iPad?
    - Will Outlook Express sync with my iPod Touch and iPad and is Outlook Express still available?
    - What is Microsoft Exchange?
    Thanks for your help. LCP

    Just look at page 26 of the new US) users guide. It specifically says that the iPad syncs with Outlook 2010 (as well as 2003 and 2007). However, Comcast's mail help page only lists OL 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007.

  • I cannot get my ipod touch to do anything, it just went dead and won't charge

    I tried turning on my ipod touch and it would not do anything, not even show a battery sign or anything, just completely dead. I used it with a half battery about 15 minutes prior to that and it worked fine. It will not charge or anything.

    After reading some other replies from older post I got it to work! I held down the power button and home button at the same time until the white apple icon appeared, then plugged into even though it already had a full battery.
