Thanks but that doesn't give me the information I need. I am putting an email on my ipod for people to contact me for iMessage and FaceTime but when I put the email in, it gives me an error saying that the email cannot be veirified because it is already in use. My Apple ID can be varified, just not the email that they will contact me with.

Hi StuNYC,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

I hope this helps.

What did your email provider say about it when you contacted them?

Any ideas why only started happening in last week ?

404 means the page you are looking for doesn't exist, if you are using a bookmark
type the website directly into your browser.
otherwise:
open terminal> type:
traceroute www.vodafone.com.au
you should get something like this:

TS3899 When I try to access my email it says the connection to server failed. Does anyone know what this means?

I'm trying to access my email and it tells me it cannot access the server

Lots of possibilities:
The server is down (likely if it has worked up until now)
You did not enter the server name correctly in setting it up
You misspelled your login name
The passcode you entered is incorrect
The port you entered is not supported by the server
The server requires SSL and you did not enable it
The server does not support SSL and you DID enable it
The network you are using is blocking access to email servers

Why does my computer lock up when I try to delete bookmarks?

I'm trying to delete unused bookmarks on the bookmarks bar by highlighting and using the delete key, have also tried dragging to trash bin...each time I get the spinning wheel and Safari stops responding. Any suggestions? Running the latest software.

OK yes I am using the Share to Facebook option and it's still not working. I even called Apple and they helped me export from iPhoto to iMovie and it's still not working. My camera ia a Canon and I used their upload to Facebook option and it's still not working. I get this error message Apple-scc a report that goes to Apple when the computer hangs up.
All I know is I've had this iMac for about 3 years and have never had a problem with it. It is a 21-inch 3.2 Ghz, Mac OSX and I don't know where you look and see how much memory is available.

When I try to access my add-ons, firefox freezes and I have to shut it down

I never used to have any problems but started getting script errors. I have repaired this but now I cannot access my add-ons. Every time I click on it in the Tools menu, Firefox completely freezes and I have to shut it down.

Do you have the Personas Plus 1.6 extension? If you do that one is known to conflict with Google Toolbar and cause the sort of problems that you are having.
Try starting Firefox in [[safe mode]] to see if you can access the add-ons manager. If you can and have Persona Plus, try disabling/uninstalling it whilst in safe mode. If you do not have that add-on, another one may be causing problems, to try to track down which one see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
Another thing you can try is deleting the files that store details on installed add-ons, if one of them is corrupt it can cause problems. To do that first open your profile folder, for how to do that see the [[profiles]] article.
After you have opened the profile folder, close Firefox and delete extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini and compatibility.ini. When you re-start Firefox those files will be re-created.

I am getting a 404 Not Found error when I try to access Yahoo Mail from Firefox. I can log in but Yahoo Mail will not open. It will open in IE. The problem is here at home.

Not Found
The requested URL /dc/launch was not found on this server.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

When I try to access a web site Firefox displays "unable to connect"

I access Firefox and select a web site
Firefox displays unable to connect, the "try again" button does not help
this just started after I did a system restore

Disabling Add-ons worked. Firefox can access the web again. Thank you for your support. AM

When i try and write an email using my hotmail account the attachment button will not work. If i access hotmail through explorer it does work.

I have cleared the cache and also deleted all the cookies using the tools button. I am not sure what to try next

Quit the mail app and then launch it again and select the draft and try again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps.
If that doesn't work, reset the iPad.
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.

I cannot connect to my earthlink email using Firefox ??? I can access through Safari and have talked with Earthlink. Also, ever since Firefox has changed format, the speed of my service has been diminished. What is going on???

The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

Hey there Mr. Spock,
It sounds like you have done most of the troubleshooting in http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972, and home sharing on one computer. I dont know if you have done this, but I would next check the Firewall settings with that article.
Troubleshooting Home Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972
5. Check Firewall settings
If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
Block all incoming connections
Allow only essential services
If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
For more information on ports used by Apple products, see Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling
