The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you canuse a third party app that many users recommend.

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.

I just backed up my photos by copying my iPhoto Library onto an external drive. Now the Library on my MacBook won't open. I can only open the photos if the external is plugged in. How can I resolve this issue?

Exactly what did you do?
The correct steps are
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
My guess is that that you have not switched iphoto to use the external drive yet - opttion launch and select libary

Hi, I have a Indesign user who inherited a PC with Indesign installed. Indesign works with old PC user profile but not the new user. Any ideas how I can resolve this?

Hi, I have a Indesign user who inherited a PC with Indesign installed. Indesign works with old PC user profile but not the new user. Any ideas how I can resolve this?

Question # 1 is what do you mean by "inherited"? Is this a case where the computer belonged to someone else? Your user would not be entitled to use a program licensed to someone else.

My iPhone 4s's wifi button is no longer touchable prohibiting me from connecting to wi-fi. How do I resolve this? What adjustments should I make?

Hi!
My iPhone 4S's wi-fi icon is greyed out, which means I can no longer connect to wi-fi. How do I resolve this?

Greyed out means your WIFI chip has bit the big one.
You can either have it repaired at a local shop.
Pay Apple to exchange it out of warranty (should they see fit to do so).
Order a new chip off ebay and do the work yourself.
Sell your iPhone and get a new one.
Or just go without WIFI.

When iTunesDropper asks for password to make changes the password is not accepted. How do I resolve this?

I have upgraded to iTunesDropper and now the request for a password to allow iTunesDropper to make changes will not work. How can I resolve this?

There was a typo in the original question which should have read "I have upgraded to Yosemite and now when iTunesDropper asks for permission to make changes the password is accepted but the window does not goes away and the permission does not appear to be granted". How can I resolve this?

TS3276 Mail keeps asking for my password. How can I resolve this?

Each time I open Mail it asks for my password. I open Mail Preferences and save the password but it looks as though it is never saved. How can I resolve this? I can still access the mail account - I just dont want to have to enter the password every time I open the application.

Who is the provider of this email account? It can be very hard to distinguish between a PW prompt instigated by the Incoming server vs the Outgoing server. What are the recommended ports to use for each from this provider?

HT1277 why i cannot set up my exchange account into my iphone 4s. everything that needs to input has been provided right, but error says cannot get email not connected to the srver.where seems to be the problem?pls help.btw,i have an outlook for macbook

please help me find out the solution to the problem.
My iphone 4S was not able to fetch mails from the server ( outgoing and incoming)
I was trying to configure my exchange account and follow all the procedures correctly but am having trouble in sending and receiving mails as the error says " cant get mails cannot connect to the server? where seems to be the problem?
Have read from the support services that if you using a Pop3 account into another device which I did ( my email was configured via outlook for mac in my macbook) there might be a lock out problem and cannot get emails on the second device which is my iphone? ( I want to set up my exchange account to my iphone so wherever and whenever i go i cant still access to my email easily. Please help.

No one seems to be hearing what Big Q is saying.
He can pair his iPhone to his Macbook, but cannot CONNECT. He's NOT asking for alternative solutions, like Wi Fi.
I am able to both pair and connect my one one Macbook to my other one, but I can only pair but not connect my iPhone or iPad to either Macbook. So I have the same problem. But I can pair and connect my Macbooks to other Bluetooth devices, like my ancient Nokia cellfone, or my Bluetooth HP printer.
It's irrelavent that I can instead use a direct USB cable or Wi Fi between my Macbooks and my iPhone/iPad - why can't I use Bluetooth? If Apple does not allow Bluetooth between it's Macbooks and other Mac devices, then why have Bluetooth at all? Does my iPhone have Bluetooth only so that I can pair and connect to my my non Apple mobile handsfree car kit, or communicate easily with the dreaded Apple enemy Samsung, or what?
Make no mistake , I am a diehard Apple fan, but this Bluetooth non compatibility issue appears shortsighted and seemingly pointless. Why does Apple not just say why they created the non compatibility, or have a message on the Bluetooth setup programme which simply and clearly says "don't bother wasting hours of your time trying to pair and connect your iPhone to your Macbook, because we don't allow that anymore, reason being that............"?
As a first time user of this Forum I am surprised at the intolerant and highhanded tone of some of the replies to what is a legitimate question, that is obviously plagueing many, many other Apple users.

Cannot get a home connection and the speaker icon illuminates each time

I cannot get a reception at home sometimes. When this happens, the speaker icon illuminates. Is this Apples way of idenfiying the problem.

I start to appologise that is was not the `speaker` icon, but the earphone icon, that was illuminating when my iphone4 would not work. Now, thanks to info from a contributor the problem has been resoved. The problem appears to have been caused by small grit or other tiny matter getting into the earphone jack. After several unsuccesful attempts to clear it by inserting the ear jack, I left the jack in overnight. Problem solved! Many, many thanks .

Can't get MAIl to connect to Onetel server

Both my wife's (MacBook) and my IMac will not connect to the Onetel POP outgoing server - we get error message
+OK rslrimap1msp All emails need to go out using gmail or MobileMe. The incoming is OK.
It has not always been this way only in the past year and I wonder if it is a problem with upgrading software. If I use WebMail it is OK and Onetel have checked everything and say that there is nothing they can do - very frustrating.
I have recently upgraded to OS 10.7.3 but this has not solved the problem. Is there anyway that I can reload MAIL? - or is there any other solution. The settings work prefect on our iphone.

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.

I upgrade firefox from 7 to 8 and now when i start firefox everytime it opens "getting start with firefox" page, in options i select the option 'show a blank page" how can i resolve this issue?

i upgrade firefox from version 7 to version 8, now when i start firefox everytime it open self the "getting start with firefox" website, in the options on firefox i select the 'show a blank page' but its not working. i am using firefox on windows XP- SP2.

Try restarting Firefox, the one time page(s) after starting a new release should disappear. Actually this last time with 8.0 they did not come up for me.
If that doesn't work then bring up '''about:config''' and place the url of the page into the filter. Right-click on anything that comes up and use "Reset".

I finally backed up the iPad to the laptop and deleted everything on the iPad and restored from back up. That cured the problem.

My imac won't stay connected to a server. How do i fix this?

The only way i can join a server is if i restart my computer. After leaving the computer unattended for a while, the server wont connect. when i try to reconnect through Finder>Go>Connect to server, it doesnt open...
I also tried to go to my system preferences>accounts>{ admin }>Login Options>Network Account Server>Join.... the error message comes up that says "unable to add server, could not resolve the address"-- even when im connected to the server.
My question is this: how do i stay connected to the server or configure my computer to automatically connect to the server when i start up or not disconnect?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out and sign back in
- Download apps on computer and sync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
