Copying email settings from my iPad doesn't work

I can receive IMAP email on my iPad, but even if I copy the settings exactly to my iPhone I get the message "cannot connect to IMAP/POP server" (tried both)
I've deleted and re-input the details. I've douuble-checked the password. I've re-started and reset the phone
Can ayone help please?

I gave up trying after about 10 attempts. Half an hour later my phone suddenly started downloading emails from the server it "couldn't connect to". So there probably wasn't a problem in the first palce.
Another iPhone mystery then?

    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).

  • Can i copy my settings from one mac to another?

    Hi
    Since I had a problem with my Mac's drive that suddenly failed (I am able to read ONLY), I replaced the internal HD with my emergency HD that I had backedup a few months before. I would like to know if there's a way to copy my settings from one mac to another? Is there a specific folder for all apps or do I have to find out each and every single file for each app?
    I need the settings for
    System (view, font, color,)
    Finder (view, etc)
    iTunes (that include all library, playlists, etc),
    Firefox (Bookmarks, settings & plug-ins),
    Safari (Bookmarks, settings & plug-ins),
    Address Book (contacts)
    Thuderbird (emails accounts, contacts, passwords, etc)
    Stickies (stickies on the dock - i have info on there unsaved)
    Filezilla (FTP infos)
    Would appreciate.
    Thnx.

    All that info is found in your user/library folder, I just did a 60 machine rollout and copied all those settings from user/library, just be forewarned that if you upgrade software those setting will not take on the machine, for example Adobe CS 3,4 will not usable by CS5.  let us know if you need more help.  Also make sure you copy most of your preferences in the user/library/prefences folder.
    Note: If you are using an identical backup with all apps and user settings, you can just copy all folders from user to your new home folder.  Remember that only if the image or backup is identical to your production OS.

  • The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed.  How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer?

    The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed.  How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer?  When I try to use Picassa to import them I can only see the 'Camera Roll; folder but I have several other folders with hundreds of pictures in them

    To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • Can I copy calendar entries from 1 ipad to another using cloud?, Can I copy calendar entries from 1 ipad to another using cloud?

    Can I copy calendar entries from 1 ipad to another using cloud?

    Thanks Quinn, but it doesn't match what I am needing, so I should explain more clearly.
    I am creating a spreadsheet for research references using Numbers. I want to be able to create all the records on the first sheet, and then create subgroups of selected entries on further sheets. I have done this by copying and pasting whole rows, which works, but it means that if I want to update an entry, I have to update it on each sheet: time consuming and prone to error. On other Numbers Spread sheets I have been able to link content in a cell in one sheet with a cell on another, so if one changes, so does the other. I would like to be able to do this with a whole row, or at least a selection of cells in one row.
    I know I could use a database, but Im not sure which one. I have endNote and evernote which I use, but I would still like to have a basic CSV data type system so it can be easily shared with other people.
    Any other thoughts?
    Kathryn

    Why is my contact list receiving crazy emails supposedly from my iPad?

    Yes, I went to settings and turned wifi off.  Thought at first I wasnt letting it set for a sec or two before shutting the iPad off.  so now I wait like a minute or two  before shutting the iPad down.  didnt  seem to help.  Tried  actually logging out of  facebook when I was  done with it,  worked for about  4 days, and now it has started  coming on and coming online again,,  I  went through my notifications and  shut things off,   Well  see if it works.  thank you.

  • Is there some way that i could copy all contacts from my ipad to hotmail?

    Is there some way that i could copy all contacts from my ipad to hotmail all in one go? Please and thank you.

    You could try syncing your iPad to your computer, Then, if you have outlook, you can import those contacts, via a CSV (comma separated values) into hotmail.
    A tedious but works way, and not all in one go, is to e-mail them to yourself and then open that in hotmail. Not what you wanted I know, but maybe a fallback if the import doesn't work.

    Hi there,
    Download a piece of software called TinkerTool - that might just solve your problem. I have used it myself to change the system fonts on my iMac. It is software and not an app.

  • Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example signatures tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

    Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example: signatures at the bottom of the mail tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

    It worked for me. I took a picture with the iPhone's camera. Then opened the Photos app and selected the picture, and emailed it from one of my IMAP accounts to my gmail (also IMAP) account. When it showed up in the gmail inbox (on my iPhone), I forwarded it to my yahoo mail account (choosing the "inlcude attachments" option). When that showed up on my iPhone's yahoo inbox, the picture was there just as it should be.
    So I guess the next thing would be to try it with non-iPhone pictures to see if it is a problem with image size or something. I have some 6-megapixel images in iPhoto I can try (taken as RAW/DEC format pictures with my dSLR).
    Just tried it sending a Photo from my computer's iPhoto library - picture is 728KB, 2272x1704 jpeg. I emailed it to my gmail account, and it showed up on the iPhone just fine. Then I forwarded that to my yahoo account and again, it showed up just fine on both the iPhone and reading my yahoo mail via the web page.
    Don't know what to say - I don't mean this to be just another "works for me" post. I was hoping to see something maybe depending on the size and origin of the picture.
    By the way, my 3GS shipped with 3.0.1 on it, and I've updated it via iTunes normally to 3.1.1 and currently 3.1.2. Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.

  • I bought a used iphone 4 today. how to transfer all my old and important data including apps and email settings from old iphone 3gs to the used iphone 4?

    i bought a used iphone 4 today. how to transfer all my old and important data including apps and email settings from old iphone 3gs to the used iphone 4? that means, making the iphone 4 just like the iphone 3gs?

    Well, you sink everything on your 3GS onto your laptop/computer. Then you reset your iPhone 4. When you are restarting it, add all those apps music (ect)  On to it. It seems difucult but for more info call Apple. I did that and he lead me step by step on how to do it. Well hope this helped~~
