Unless it's confirmed officially that your phone is defective, then you can ask for a replacement. Or you have to live with you. However you can trade it for a new one if you don't care the price drop.

Is anyone else having the finish rub off of the keys on their macbook? I've had mine for about 6 months and several keys look like the finish is wearing through. I went to the local genius bar today and the techs said they'd never seen this before.

Some people have seen their aluminum uni-body discoloring due to body oils. Go figure.
Normally putting anything over the keys/aluminum will hurt heat disspation, but you may need to use keyboard covers.
Or save up $500/year for new keyboards.
Neither is supposed to be a sarcastic answer. Either one could end up being the solution.
Good luck with it.

TS4268 i keep getting message that cant be set up - check network connection. went to Apple store. they could not set it up and referred me to this article which also doesn't solve problem. Keeps getting network message, even in apple store. Help!!!!

I keep getting message to check network connection when i try to use face time or imessage. Went to apple store. They could not fix it and referred me to apple support which sent me an article to do the things the store had already tried. Store thinks it is a problem with the ID although the correctID and p/word are being used. Just get message that cant sign in and check connection and try again. Happens in every location. Can anyone help me with this since Apple can't?

Since you've tried the Apple Store, etc., even though you say your Apple ID and password are good, I suspect that's the likely issue.
I recommend double checking that with Apple. This link might help:

HT1766 itunes does not recognize my iphone. i can only access my pictures and now all my personal songs i copied from my cds are missing from my phone too. I have tried reinstalling itunes to no avail. went to the apple store Genius bar who couldnt figur

Help, I have tried all the things I can to get my phone to sync with my computer.

I have already tried that a dozen times. Did also reset Apple Support on control panel. It is just stuck and plain "ruined". I am so frustrated I am this close to returning my iPhone 4S and get a metro PCS! I have an impression there is some code/bug issue with the new OS upgrade that doesn't match with 3G/3GS. I guess Apple OS developers don't care about how the "lowly" consumers -- those who cannot afford to buy every single new model they roll out -- might feel about their "upgrades"... I understand you're a Jobs fan (from your user ID), but this is not the first time I see this kind of so-called-upgrade crashes otherwise perfectly well-functioning older machines. (There are obviously plenty of 3G/3GS users experiencing this kind of problem) If this is Apple's marketing strategy to force frustrated conumers to go out and buy a newer model, I am completely turned off by Apple. It's not that I'm in love with Android or Windows. iPhone is a good product. But it's the Apple's technical service/back up for regular joes out there -- not techies/engineers -- who cannot afford every single model upgrade that really irritates me.

I cannot get my emails on my ravine ,I just changed from a I phone Back to this ravine

I changed from A Iphone back to my ravine and I cannot get my emails and the people at the store donnot know how either

Frankwright2,
Not having access to your email on your phone must be driving you crazy! We'll definitely help get it working with you. Is this the Ravine or the Ravine 2? What kind of email address are you trying to activate onto your phone? You said that you cannot get emails, but are you able to send them? Please share details so we can help.

The incoming mail server is down - it happens to all of them at one time or another.
Check with your email account provider.

Since downloading new OS, cannot send email "server rejected"

Since downloading new OS, cannot send email "server rejected"

How do you know everything is correct? where did you get the instruction? Sometimes the default ports are different on different devices and thus you have to manually change the ports used.

Thunderbird stopped downloading emails from the web server and now when I try to add a new account I get a message to say it cannot find the email server.

Thunderbird was working and then for no reason it stopped downloading emails from the web server. I can access my emails in the web server okay. I have tried to remove my account and then add it again as a new account but I get a message saying that Thunderbird cannot find the email server. I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird but with the same result. I have also tried to remove the default mail server but have been unable to do so. How can I fix this?

I figured out a workaround.... Since I can get e-mails to populate via iSync and my other computer is running Leopard (it's a powerpc chip and can't run Snow Leopard), I added the account on the other computer and got the new account to populate into my SL machine with iSync. I don't like that I can't actually add the account directly, but at least this got me working.

How do I fix Mail in Snow Leopard where I cannot send emails from my account to another account I've set up in Mail, but the reverse works fine?

I have a problem with Mail in Snow Leopard in that I cannot set up two email accounts for myself and my wife with the same ISP and have them operate properly. I've set up the accounts in strict accordance with my ISP's instructions for setting up email accounts on Mac Mail but I cannot send an email from my account to my wife's without a drop-down message appearing that Mail 'cannot send the email from this server. Please edit the server list'. No amount of tweaking appears to work. Applecare consultants have so far been unable to get it to work and a recent visit to the local Genius Bar in the Apple Store was fruitless also. My ISP's help line was unable to solve the problem even with a supervisor level consultant. The ISP concluded it was some kind of 'bug' in Mail.
I could send emails from my wife's account to mine, but not vice versa; I could send emails to other addresees without any problem and I can send emails from my account to my wife's using the ISP's webmail.
Does anyone please have a solution to my problem? At the moment we're operating one account (mine) on my Macbook and my wife's is set up on her iPad2. As we prefer to use the Macbook for storage and (using Time Machine) for back-up of our data, the two accounts on separate machines is a nuisance.
Another factor is that I prefer to control when I download emails and set my preferences accordingly. One of the so-called 'fixes' that were tried wound up downloading emails regardless of settings, even after removing my wife's account; the matter was remedied only after I had removed all accounts form Mail and started afresh from scratch.

You'll have to pardon my ignorance of some computer terminology; I'm a retired manager and not a computer technician, hence my muddling up of client and server terminology.
Re your comment about Port 339: I did qualify this with (?). As I wrote, it all happened at lightining speed and the guy at the Genius Bar didn't bother explaining what he was doing. Port designation contained 3s and 9s to the best of my recollection.
That said, you seem to be spot on re setting up a 'dummy' client in Mail. I set it up as you suggested and I can send to and receive from this client without a problem. You appear to have identified the solution, notwithstanding the claims of the ISP's 'experts'.
The next problem I have now is sorting out my wife's mailbox that is so troublesome whenever I set it up on Mail.
All the other set-up advice to date yielded a similar result; inability to send from my account to her inbox. Perhaps deleting her details from the account altogether and setting them up again from scratch may be the solution and I shall try that in due course. The impediment that I have with this at the moment is that my ISP admits that it has 'a technical problem with its email servers' and some of its related web pages that prevent my doing this myself. I will have to go through the telephone 'help' line and ask the technician to set it up at their end on my instructions. This has some disadvantages in that I have to divulge the password to the account to the operator rather than keeping it anonymous by doing it on-line. You may have solved the problem, but until I can successfully sort out a working mailbox for my wife i cannot definitively say so.
Many thanks for your perseverance. You've made more sense than anyone else so far and that deserves some points, surely?

Easier way to get an email server running?

This is probably going to sound noobish and ranty, and I apologize in advance for that, but I really am looking for an answer. Google has not been very helpful so far.
I currently have a VPS which I use for misc stuff, including hosting some websites. I would like to get email working, so that I can send/receive email on my website domains (via gmail or clients, not webmail).
I have read through several forum posts and various articles regarding email servers using postfix, dovecot, mysql, etc. Most tutorials on getting an email server setup contain walls of configuration settings that you need to make. They use separate programs for sending email, receiving email, full-blown databases for user accounts... It feels severely over-engineered, and I feel like my head is going to explode while trying to understand what the heck is going on.
Is there really no easier way to do this? People in forums talk about postfix being the best and easiest there is, but a wall of configuration text that doesn't make sense doesn't seem easy to me. Yeah I could probably copy/paste that text into my configuration files, and yeah it'd probably work, but I wouldn't understand how or why it worked, and I wouldn't be able to make future changes.
I would think that there would be a single package out there, a single program, that you could handle everything email (at least as far as sending/receiving email via IMAP). Kind of like how you have a web server like Apache or Nginx, where it's a single program that works out of the box, and can be configured further afterwards. Why does email have to be so difficult? I can only assume that things are setup this way in order to cover every possible configuration of email services that anyone could possibly want on any scale. But I just want a simple email server, on a single server, with just a few common options. Are there any alternatives, or is postfix+dovecot+mysql+spamd+opendkim really the only real option on linux right now?
(And before anyone says to develop something myself... yeah, it's tempting... but why spend time reinventing the wheel if it's already out there, right?)

A "web server" is rarely just Apache (or nginx, lighttpd etc) on it's own. There's often additional tools such as PHP, MySQL etc as well.
A "mail server" is the same; an encompassing term for a collection of tools that each handle different aspects. Postfix and Dovecot is all you need for what you've described; Postfix handles mail delivery (inbound mail to your users, and outbound mail from your users) while Dovecot handles presenting the received mail to your users. IMHO, it follows the Unix philosophy very well; one tool, one job. (All working together).
Postfix might seem daunting, but it is actually very well documented, inside the configuration file itself (main.cf) and on the website. This page may be a good place to start: http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGU … EADME.html
I'd suggest get Postfix working delivering inbound and outbound mail, then you can add Dovecot (or IMAP daemon of your choice) once that's up and running.

One more time, iCloud mail accounts are .me, .mac and .icloud. New ones are only .icloud.
iCloud mail is a standard Imap account that can be used with any mail client in existence. But You are talking about the ability to automatically setup an iCloud account in mail, which did not exist until 10.7.2.
You can use password or token authentification with iCloud mail (in Mail) it is your choice.
Set the account manually, set it as Imap, use imap.mail.me.com (no P number) for the incoming email and smtp.mail.me.com as the outgoing server.
The full settings (ports and security) are here. Use them and it will work, regardless of domain (mac, me and icloud addresses all use the same settings.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead. SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud.
For more information on how to use this information with your email application, consult your application's documentation.

Ipad cannot connect to email server

Since I updated my iPad to ios 6.1 last Thursday I have been unable to access my email. It appears that it cannot find the email server. My wi-fi is working fine. I have looked at all my settings and am mystified. My iPhone update worked fine and I am getting mail on my iPhone. Is it possible my iPad is "locked out"?

I was able to fix it by deleting the account and setting it back up again.

TS1559 Wi-Fi on my iphone4s is grayed out and I think this happened after the update 7.0.4. I went to apple store and they turned me down that there is no support in the 2nd year. Extremely disappointed and no way except to pay and get replacement. Pls ad

Wi-Fi on my iphone4s is grayed out and I think this happened after the update 7.0.4. I tried all possible solutions through apple online support and then went to apple store as a last resort and they turned me down that there is no support in the 2nd year. Only option is to pay 160 pounds and get replacement. When I argued further, they said that if I had bought the iphone directly with them, they would replace me without any cost. This is even more frustrating.
THIS IS TOTALLY UNFAIR as its not my fault. If the release of faulty 7.0.4 software is timed in my 2nd year of contract and since I didnt buy the iphone directly from Apple, how is it fair to ask me to pay for replacement. Its not my fault after all.

Because you are outside the one year hard ware warrenty, Apple covers for the first year on their dime, if you had a two year contract why not make sure you have a two year insurance on your phone?
Either way as I can see/assume you are from europe you can look at your consumer laws to see if you qualify for anything there, beyond that it isn't the software that broke the device, it's a hardware failure because thousands upon thousands are happy and content with iOS 7.0.4
