Cannot set up btmail on iPhone 5c
I Cannot set up BT Mail on iPhone 5c. Have followed all the settings and advice on BT website and forum. Keep getting message that username or password not recognised. Can access BT Webmail and send and receive. Any advice?
The iPhone has a feature of allowing your mail settings to be imported from your computer's mail client's settings when you sync the computer and the phone using iTunes. Open iTunes, connect the phone, click on the phone in the left hand column. Then open the Info tab and check the Mail settings and select the mail client you are using, either Outlook or Outlook Express. Then sync and the settings should be exported into the phone.
If that doesn't or hasn't worked, open your mail client and look at the settings for the outgoing server. Manually enter the same settings in your iPhone. You don't have to guess whether to use SSL when you already have this info in the settings in your computer.

Cannot set up "Find my iPhone"
I cannot seem to set up my iphone to that find my iphone 4 app which comes free now. it says i am lacking an update, yet my macbook pro says i'm all up to date. This is quite annoying and doesn't understand what update is missing. I have updated to the ISO 4 update and regularly sync my iPhone 4. Does anyone have an answer to my problematic situation.
Make sure your iPhone 4 is using iOS 4.2.1. This is the first version that has Find My iPhone for free.

Cannot Set-up gmail in iPhone 5
Hi
This is Sunil Akella from Bangalore, Karnataka, India.
I have recently purchased iPhone-5, and I am not able to set-up gmail account. A smart phone without personal email account is very embarassing to maintain.
I connected to Wifi in my organization, and ensured I am able to connect to the internet and I followed below steps to set-up gmail account.
1- Touch on Mail Icon
2- Select Gmail
3- Provided Name, email, Password and "Next" button.
Now at this stage it pops-up a message saying " Cannot connect Using SSL.. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL ? Yes/ No
4- I selected Yes
After sometime, one more pop-up message appeared saying
" The IMAP server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field"
I really don't understand, when I am able access any site from the Safari browser in my iPhone, why it says "check your network connection"
I have ensured in my gmail settings : General-:>Browser Connection-> Selected the option : "Don't always use HTTPS"
Forwarding and IMAP/POOP -> IMAP Access : Status says- IMAP is enabled
Please help me in resolving this issue.I bought an Iphone 5s and just tried to add my google calendar -extra easy to do in an old fashion Samsung, but in the iphone I got this message:
Cannot connect using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL, Y/N
I click yes
Then I got a second message
The IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field.
I clicked OK and nothing happened.
Please help.
I am starting feeling a bit disappointed. -
I have encountered problem set up my mail account in Iphone.
This is the first time set up where I selected mail settings from iphone main menu .Well the problem indicates "Cannot connect through SSL (secure connection)-Do you want to continue connect" then I selected yes.
However, after few 40 seconds, another message appears as "Unable to setup...check network connection". I switched to AT&T Edge data network and completely disable Wi-fi. Literally, same problem re appeared.
Can anyone provides feedback how to resolve this issue. Indeed, many thanks in advance.

Cannot set up gmail for iPhone 4
Hi,
I just got an iPhone (thru Verizon) and wanted to set up my Gmail account. However, I keep getting an error message saying "Cannot Get Mail. The use name or password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect. I've triple-checked my account and password, and those are right. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!i ran into the same problem today when i got my new iphone 4 S and trying to setup my gmail on my iphone 4 S. it was not working until i followed the video on youtube.com.
you do not need to do anything besides follow the steps in the video and it worked for me.
this is the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd37Edi0Phc
SOLUTION:
1) Settings
2) Mail, Contacts, Calendars
3) Add Account
4Scroll all the way down on the list and pick Other (DO NOT PICK Gmail from the list - THIS DID NOT WORK for me)
5) Add Mail Account
Name: Your Name
Address: [email protected]
Password: Your Gmail Password
Description: Your Gmail
Incoming Mail Server:
Host Name: imap.gmail.com
User Name: [email protected]
Password: Your Gmail Password
Outgoing Mail Server:
SMTP: smtp.gmail.com
That's it! Good luck -
I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone. When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account. Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id. What do I need to do?
You can write into support and ask for help reenabling the account through this link here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
Since the applications were purchased on the older account, you will need to log into that account to update them. The newer account will not recognize the purchases because they are not a part of the purchase history for the specific account. -
"Apple ID cannot be used for MobileMe" when setting up Find My iPhone app
Okay, folks, spent some time with MobileMe support via chat this morning. This is what I've learned. Apparently you CANNOT use an Apple ID, regardless of what format it's in (usually a full email address) AS LONG AS IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH A MOBILE ME (ME.COM ADDRESS) ACCOUNT THAT IS CLOSED OR NO LONGER ACTIVE. Unfortunately, there is no way to disassociate the two and there is no way the old MobileMe (me.com address) account can be deleted.
Apparently, I had some issue when I was trying out the MobileMe for the trial period many months ago and for some reason couldn't use my primary Apple ID (my primary email address), so I created a me.com address for the MobileMe account. Eventually, I cancelled the MobileMe account because the cost wasn't justified for the features it offered. Unfortunately, that association with my primary Apple ID is permanent and THAT is the source of the "This Apple ID canot be used for MobileMe" error. Or at least that's ONE reason for it.
The solution? Create a completely new, separate Apple ID using a valid email address from which you can receive a verification email. The address is NOT used to receive any further emails from Apple. Only to create logon credentials. Do NOT associate this email address with your current/primary Apple ID or any other Apple ID. This is what you use to set up Find My iPhone/iPad, etc. using the MobileMe setup in Settings>Mail/Contacts/Calendars as well as the Find My iPhone App (plus it's your logon to the MobileMe Find My iPhone web page).
When you log in to the MobileMe page, BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ENTER YOUR APPLE ID IF IT'S A FULL EMAIL ADDRESS: apparently, the ID field automatically tries to change it to "[email protected]" instead of your "[email protected]". Just check it before and after you enter your Apple ID password and submit.
I did this and it works. Find My iPhone app and service works beautifully. Spotted my iPad right where I'm at on a map. I sent a message to my iPad via the service (which also offers the option to play a sound, lock the device or even wipe the device).
I hope this information helps SOMEONE.
Oh...interesting footnote: I was informed that APPLE IDs CANNOT BE DELETED. Even if you create a "test" Apple ID (like I did during our troubleshooting session) with some barely used email account using a weak password. That means, regardless of whether you use it or not for MobileMe/Find My iPhone, you really, really need to give it a SECURE password (if you're going to keep that email account alive). So yeah, there are a lot of dormant Apple IDs floating around out there!I agree.
I found this 'bug' out the other day when getting ready for my new iPhone I was setting up my iPad with some new apps too and wanted to work with Find My iPhone.
Here's the deal; my main AppleID is just a simple 'Username' not a '[email protected]' AppleID.
I've had this since the need for AppleIDs were used for these forums and the iTunes Store, AppStore, etc.
So it works fine and well with that stuff but not with find my iphone on my iPad as it wants a full email account, either a '@me.com' or a '[email protected]' AppleID which I did create but I think it was used as Job profile or something other along those lines (NOT used for a MobileMe account or .mac either).
And I only have access to one email now and I dont feel comfortable having multiple email addresses that I dont check or have no use for, call my simple or naive but thats just how it goes.
What I'd like to do is be able to use either AppleID for my Find My iPhone app and everything else.
And I think thats a good point, '@me.com's for all. make it a whole lot easier in my opinion.
merge all the apple accounts you created into a MobileMe, simplifies the situation and makes it easier connect to all Apple Services.
My itunes account, apple.com store account, appstore account, main AppleID for the past couple years it "Maxwell Stanley" but it does NOT work with Find My iPhone. So i created [email protected] (example.com is in place of my true email domain for privacy reasons) and that doesnt work as it statse it Cannot Be used.
My 'Maxwell Stanley" Apple ID's email associated with it was [email protected] i tried changing it to [email protected] but still doesnt recognize that as an AppleID even though its associated with "Maxwell Stanley".
I event ried to use the SAME email that is associated with my 2nd AppleID '[email protected]' with the appleid 'Maxwell Stanley' and no dice.
running out of options it seems.
Any idea on the best solution?
Thank you! -
I recently changed my apple ID but my previous apple ID is associated with my icloud account. I'm setting up my new iphone 6 and cannot complete the set up until I can sync my icloud account. Does anyone know how to change the icloud id?
Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPhone and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your phone). -
Just bought the new i phone 4s, set up my apple id, verified with email. I can sign into it on the computer no problem but cannot get to it through iphone. Unable to download apps or music. let me know if anybody has any solutions, thanks
If you have an old ID in Settings>iCloud as a result of updating to iOS 7, to change it you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change (you should need to verify the old account). Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I cannot set up icloud on my iphone 4s. When I go to settings it always says check your email but when I check my email there is none sent to me.
Check your spam folder to be sure it isn't there. If not, try going to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and Manage your account. There should be a link there to resend the verification email.

I need to set up a new iPhone5 after my previous one was stolen. The new phone has iOS6 installed, the stolen one has iOS7 installed. So I cannot set it up using the Cloud. If I do a new setup, it asks me to sign in using my Apple ID. Will this not override my backed up data, preventing me from restoring my data on my new phone? I cannot install iOS7 untill the new phone has been set up. What am I to do?
How to sign in using the Apple ID that I initially used to set up the computer? I cant update my iPhoto and download pictures from Iphone :((
Try to remember any AppleID you ever may have used.
In the AppStore Application go to the "Store" menu.
It will show you the AppleiD You are currently using (in the last menu entry "View my account ....".
Use the "Sign out" command and sign in with any AppleID you ever used, ten check the "Purchases" tab of the App Store, if that will show the bundled apps.
And also, where are my pictures stored in my Air?
If you have used iPhoto to download your pictures, the photos will be stored in the iPhoto Library, a package, that is stored in the folder "Pictures" in your Home folder.
Terence Devlin has written some very useful user tips, that describe the iPhoto Library: See the links below:

Cannot set up name@me email on iPhone
My wife and I both bought the iPhone 4s. Very exciting! Especially since I am "graduating" from a Blackberry and she had a Nokia phone from the stone ages (no qwerty keyboard or screen!).
I easily and quickly established an email address (such as name@me) using iCloud. So far so good.
For some reason, my wife's phone won't allow her to set up a name@me email address on iCloud.
There is some problem with her Apple ID. We set up and reset her Apple ID several times.
I think her Apple ID is now OK.
But now we cannot set up her name@me email address on the phone. Every time we go into iCloud, the first thing it asks is "Apple ID and password."
We enter the correct Apple ID and password (using her external mindspring email address, just like I did), but she gets an error message, "email address is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone." What???
Can anyone make sense of this? We never got to set up the name@me email address. Hmmmm....

I have an IPhone operating OS 4.21. I cannot back it up before update and I cannot set up an ICloud account as it needs to be on a version later on the device. Please help, I want to update but not lose everything!

That would tend to indicate a permissions issues on the computer.
Running an outdated version of iTunes is of absolutely no benefit.
All iDevices work with the current version of iTunes.
