Changed from BT to TalkTalk but still want to use ...

I've just left BT to go to TalkTalk (went live on 23/3). When I set up my new account, I asked TalkTalk if I could use my old bt email address. They said yes and with their tech help I set up my email using apple mail with BT as the outgoing service provider and TalkTalk as the incoming. This worked fine for about a week! Yesterday, half way through the day, I got prompted for a password for my btinternet account the message reads "Enter the password for user “fiona.wemyss” on btinternet.com POP server “mail.btinternet.com”". I duly filled it in (this was happening to me almost constantly before I left BT and would finally sort itself out for a few weeks and then happen again) but it keeps coming back saying its the wrong password. I deliberately chose the same password for my TalkTalk account as for my old btinternet account so as to 'make it easier'.
I still maintain a separate business email account with BT which seems to be working fine on my Mac, as does a sub-account that I set up against the btinternet account.
In addition, I just can't get email at all on my iphone. I tried setting up a new mail account using mail.btinternet.com as the incoming mail server and smtp.talktalk.net as the outgoing mail server, but it just doesn't work. The incoming server wants a password authentication (I'm using the one mentioned above) and I wonder if this is the problem, but can't seem to delete the need for a password from my settings. The server port I'm using is 110. The message I get is 'The user name or password for BTaccount is incorrect'. I can't even get access to the business email account!
Am I asking too much to want to use the old btinternet account? Does BT automatically close the account when you leave? If I bite the bullet and go entirely with TalkTalk, how can I make sure I get emails forwarded from the btnternet account?
Sorry for the long email.

Your old btinternet e-mail account will revert to a basic webmail only account once you leave BT Internet.
POP SMTP and IMAP access will be blocked.
You have two options.
Ask for the old e-mail address to be migrated to your existing BT business broadband account, as a sub address.
Pay monthly for BY Yahoo Premium mail, which will allow full access.

You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of your country of residence ( proven by the valid billing address on your credit card) and ONLY while inside the borders of that country.

Yes, your entire family can use one AppleID just for purchases in the iTunes and App Stores, then each of you can use your own unique AppleIDs for all other services (iCloud accounts, iMessage accounts and so on).
You can have as many AppleIDs as you wish (or have email addresses for), and you can use a different one for each service Apple offers, if you wished to.
By doing what you suggest, you also limit the number of AppleIDs with payment information associated with them, so there is only one single AppleID that can be compromised that way. Keeping one AppleID for purchases and another (with no payment information tied to it) for everything else is not a bad practice for anyone to follow.

HT204053 I've got a new Iphone but still want to use my Ipod, can I have music and apps on both and if so how do I update them both?

Hi, I've just upgraded to an Iphone 4s but still want to use my Ipod. Can you have music and apps on both and if so how do you keep them updated? Is there a step by step guide anywhere? Thanks

"Can you have music and apps on both "
Yes.
"how do you keep them updated?"
Not sure what you mean.
"Is there a step by step guide anywhere? "
Guide for what?
Sync each of them as always. There is no need to do anything, just sync them to your computer.

HT5868 So how do I "untrust" a trusted computer that I accidentally trusted but still want to use for charging?

I see that "Trust" a computer on iOS7 is indefinite (learned). How do I undo that on a computer that I want to use for charging but do not want to trust?

Open iTunes, select iTunes Store from the sidebar, click on the Support link under Quick Links. Post an email explaining the situation to seek assistance.

I no longer use this current email address... but still want to use Thunderbird for another email address

I tried to change this current email to another email address... with no luck... then I trashed the old email... and downloaded to set up another email address... with no luck... it kept going back to the old...
Please assist..

'''File|New|Existing Mail Account'''
No menu? Press alt.
Or right-click an existing account, select '''Settings''', and in the window that pops up, click '''Account Actions''' at the bottom, then '''Add Mail Account'''.
Or press the button with three horizontal lines, hover the cursor over '''New Message''' (yes, really!) and select '''Existing Mail Account''' from the pop-up menu.
Changing one account to another is rarely successful. Always better to add an account rather than modify an old one. That's how Thunderbird is designed to work.

I lost my connection when I was using internet and when I want to reconnect to airport it give me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

Hi,
I lost my airport connection when I was using internet and when I wanted to re-reconnect to airport it gave me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

Hello there hastibahreini,
It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

My dad and i have the same icloud id,when i updated the software (to ios 8.1.3) i have my dad´s photos on my iphone.And want my photos back (i tried restoring my phone from the last backup) but still have my dad´s photos on my device.

And that's exactly the problem, because everyone should have their own account for iCloud. You can share an Apple ID for iTunes & App Store purchases, but you shouldn't do that for iCloud (Mail, Calendar, Contacts etc. ... ...and Photos). The problem of using the same account together could mean that only your dad's photos were stored.

You will probably find better support about the features of the Webex app on their support page here: http://www.webex.com/products/web-conferencing/mobile-iphone-ipad-faq.html
Doesn;t look like it's listed as a feature of the iPad app.

How can I change to location of pictures folder? I want to use a backup hardrive to store my photos and music on but still want to be able to go to the finder and click the photos/music button. How can I do this.

I want to use a backup hardrive to store my photos and music on but still want to be able to go to the finder and click the photos/music button. In windows i would just change the properties of the given library folder. How can I do this in Lion?

Move "~/Pictures", or if just iPhoto pictures, "~/Pictures/iPhoto Library", to the new location.
If you moved iPhoto, open iPhoto with the option key held, like Tony T1 writes. Select "Other Library" and navigate to the new location.
To add the new location to the sidebar in Finder, just drag it onto the sidebar.
Same process for iTunes, or whole music folder.

I have 6p from a gift card left in the English store and can't spend it. I want to change to the Irish store as I have an Irish gift card for me to redeem but it won't let me change store. Also I don't want to use a credit card for the last 6p.

These are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
          Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
          Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
          Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
          Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
          Advantages: All images should be preserved.
          Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.

TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.

How do I create a new account for an iPod that is on an existing account? My brother and I have shared an account for five years, and now that I'm moving out, I want to create my own account but still want to be able to play the music I've purchased.

My brother and I have shared an account for five years, and now that I'm moving out, I want to create my own separate account but still want to be able to play the music I've purchased over five years.

In order to continue to play and sync the music you purchased with your old account, you'll need to authorize your new computer/iTunes library to do so. You can do this by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer and then entering in your old account credentials.
That's all you should need to. Then just create your own account and start purchasing and using it the same you have with the old one.
