Do I really need to pay fir a yahoo email to set up mail on Mac?

I have a free yahoo account and I can't set up mail on my MacBook pro? It says something about a p.o.p.
Why doesn't it work? It works on my iPhone.

No. You should be able to use your Yahoo through Mail for free. Go into Yahoo Mail Help to see if you can find the right IMAP servers.
Try to use IMAP instead of POP3 so if you read a message in Mail, it will get marked as read in Yahoo Mail (online). Yahoo should have the right information for it. When you're setting up Mail, it will ask for an IMAP incoming server, and an outgoing server. I believe for Google, it's imap.google.com it should be something similar for yahoo.
Hope that helps!

  • PLEASE HELP ME! I really need help finding a way to email apple!

    Today I purchased 6 songs from the Itunes Store, directlyfrom my ipod touch. 2 of them downloaded great! The other 4 say "Download error. Please tap again." I have never had a problem like this before so I contacted apple from my phone and they told me to email apple. I dont have the website to do that so I thought maybe this would help me find it. I wouldnt have made such a big deal but, it ALREADY took the money I paid for these songs. I dont have the songs and I no longer have that money...what do I do????

  • Really need HELP! Anyone seen this email issue...

    There are two of us at work who use Blackberry 8830WE on the Telus Mobility network with Shaw Cable as our ISP. We use Desktop Manager 4.6 and our device OS is 4.2.2.176.
    We are the "ONLY" BB users in the office and the issue we are expereincing affects only the two of us, so I am presuming it has something to do with our BB, or perhaps the BIS service (we do not have MS Exchange or BES).
    Most of the time we use MS Outlook to send email from our PC instead of using the small BB keyboard. That said the issue below happens regardless of which device we use for email.
    When we generate and send a new email the intended recipient(s) receive it, however, if they reply we do not receive their reply.
    And the same applies in the other direction...when someone send us a new email we receive it, but when we reply they do not receive our reply.
    I've deleted the CMIME service book, waited, then undeleted - this doesn't work.
    I haven't changed any MS Outlook, BIS, or device setting - at least I can't recall changing anything.
    Please help. This has been going on for two-three weeks. We've missed several important replies.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I would login to your BIS site delete and recreate the email accounts,
    Then select send service books. You will get activation emails for all email accounts.
    No data will be lost when doing the following: pull the battery while the device is ON.Replace after a minute, Let the device reboot 1-3 min, see if the problem is fixed, Thanks

  • Just bought a new iMac today but came with Lion not Mountain Lion..do I really have to pay for the update?

    I just bought the new iMac at BestBuy but it came with OSX 10.7 Lion not OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion..Literally had it 3hrs now... Do I really need to pay to upgrade??

    Go to the App Store, sign in to your account, and on the "Quick Links" on the right, click "Redeem".
    Try entering your "claim number" there.

  • I really need a guest code

    i am a college student and really need a guest code if possible please

    Welcome to the forum. A MAC is not technically necessary but it does help the transfer process, and the losing ISP might levy a charge if you go ahead without asking for one.
    There's definitive advice here. If you click the question "How do I switch broadband suppliers?" you will find that a MAC must be provided within 5 days of a request. Phone TalkTalk again and shout at them if necessary.

  • Do I need to backup my pics and email etc with iCloud backup or would it delete my data?

    I have an ipad (3rd gen)  and an iPod (5th gen) I use the ipad for school as in my school instead of books and copies. I use my ipad for leisure and taking photos and videos and Facebook etc etc. both of the devices are using the same account. I only have the free 5GB backup package. I need the storage for my ipad school things as if I lose them..that's all my schoolwork..gone. I have recently taken a lot of photos with my iPod and downloaded a lot of games. Today a notification popped up saying that I'd almost run out of iCloud backup and that I could delete some of the backup on apps etc. so that's what I did and it barely made a dent in the backup figures. I then decided to delete most of my photos just so I'd have some more space for Facebook but it turns out that if you delete your photos, it doesn't actually result in a solution to the backup problem. So what I'm wondering is.. Do I really need to backup my pictures or email etc a and just leave the backup for my ipad? Also, when I go into Settings=>iCloud=>Storage & Backup=>Manage Storage=>this iPod at the bottom of the page there's a button that says "delete backup". I'm wondering if it would help my situation or something. Thanks in advance :)

    You don't need to back up your photos to iCloud if you don't want to.  If you don't, be sure to import them (and your videos) to your computer so they are backed up there, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  You can then turn Camera Roll off under Backup Options.  This article explains other options for managing and reducing your iCloud storage: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.
    If you tap Delete Backup in Manage Storage>your device, it will permanently delete the backup from iCloud.  It won't do anything to the data currently on your device, but it does put you at risk until you create a new backup.

  • I need to transfer the Smart Mailboxes I have set up on one computer to another computer. Both are running 10.8.4 and Mail 6.3. None of the old solutions are viable since there is no longer a 'Mail' folder in the User account.

    I acquired a new iMac, and need to transfer the Smart Mialboxes I have set up on my Mac Pro to the iMac. Mail is already set up to sync thorough iCloud, but the Smart mailboxes are - apparently - set up for individual machines. The only solutions I have been able to locate involve moving Preference files from one machine to the other; the problem is that there is no longer a 'Mail' folder set up for individual Users (actually there is no Mail folder at ALL under 10.8.4), and I am unable to locate any .plist files for Mail at all. Any idea how to make this haoppen?

    Create a new smart mailbox. Does it sync? If not, do as below.
    Back up all data.
    1. Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:  
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select 
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
    2. Repeat with this line:
    /Library/Mail/Bundles
    This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.

  • When making a circle, illustrator automaticly makes lots and lots of more circles... How to resolve this problem? Really need quick advice!!

    Hi there,
    I have used illustrator now for a long period of time. Recently I purchased Adobe CC. Had no problems with it untill now.
    It's like this. Whenever I try to make a circle (or, square, line or other forms) Illustrator makes lots and lots of more circles within it.
    From the moment I click on the page untill I release my mouse, it keeps making circles. (see enclosed picture)
    I have really no idea whatsoever how to undo this. I have used Illiustrator CC before for another project, and it worked fine. Now however, it doesn't.
    Can anyone help me out here? I have payed projects to deliver, and I really need this to work really soon...
    Thnx for your help!
    btw, I work on a PC with Windows 8. (don't really think it's relevant, but still..)

    Thnx!
    I didn't know that could cause it. Which is actually weird since I've recently bought a new laptop. >,<U
    Thnx for your help!

    I really need someone to help me. I have been trying to figure out how to select a PDF document to convert to a Word doc. When I go to select a PDF file, all that shows up is the WORD docs. does not show ANY of my PDF files... Please help me figure out what is going on? We have it set on auto renewal so I know its not that we haven't renewed this subscription, because we pay automatically.

    Hi olivias,
    It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

  • I guess the problem come from me or I really need those contacts before he calls me for it. I'll try some method that I got from some responders on your support website. Do you have or can you recommand any software that can solve this problem?

    One more thing. I just update my iphone that my boss gave to me but it seems to be like it giving me some trouble. My iphone was updated not too long and was successful. I try to lock into it and it telling me emergency call. I plug it to my itune and it telling me that the sim card is not valid or supported. So I inserted my sim card that I usually use to call and it still saying the same. Please help me get into it.

    And as far as paying for phone support, here are a few tips:
    If you call your carrier first and then they route you to Apple, you usually don't have to pay for phone support.
    If you are talking to Apple and they ask you to pay a support fee, ask if you can get an exception this time.  That usually works once, but they keep track of the times you've been granted such an exception.
    If you still end up paying the support fee, that fee only applies if it's not a hardware related issue.  In other words, if it can be fixed by just talking over the phone and following Apple's instructions, then the fee applies.  But if your device is deemed to have a hardware failure that caused the issue, then the fee should not apply, and you can ask for it to be waived after the fact.
    This forum is free, and almost all of the technical support articles the Apple tech advisors use are available on this website.  Literally 99% of what they can do over the phone is just walking you through the publicly available support articles.  In other words, you're paying the fee to have them do your research for you.  It's like hiring a research consultant to go look stuff up in the public library so you don't have to.  You're capable of doing it; you'd just rather pay someone to do it for you.
    It's like Starbucks.  You know how to make coffee.  Everyone knows how to make coffee.  And Starbucks coffee isn't any better than what you could make at home for far less.  But you want the convenience.  So you're really paying a convenience fee.  Milk is more expensive at 7-Eleven than it is at the grocery store... because it's a convenience store.

  • How do I stop Safari from 'pinwheeling' whenever I am using Yahoo Mail? I really need a correct answer please.                                                                                             Mail? I need a correct answer please.

    How do I stop Safari from 'pinwheeling' whenever I try to use Yahoo Mail?
    I really need a correct answer please. Other answers have only suggested how to access Yahoo Mail without using Safari. I want to continue using Safari to access Yahoo Mail,if possible.  Thank you.

    Could be a cookie issue...
    Go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab then click Show Cookies
    Type yahoo in the serach field then click Remove All > Done
    Quit then relaunch Safari.
    Try accessing your Yahoo mail account.
    FYI... there is rarely a sure fire correct response for third party web based email client software. Often takes time consuming troubleshooting.

  • Why i need to pay for upgrading a new garageband?

    Currently my garageband is still v6.0.5, am using OS X Yosemite, MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013. Really need helps

    The new GarageBand version is a major new upgrade, going from version number 6.0.5 to 10.  So it has to be purchased, The purchase of GarageBAnd 10 used to be free, but you had to pay for the in-app purchase. Without this purchase GarageBand was just a Trial version and you had to pay to get a full working version. Now the conditions have changed. You have have to pay for the basic version, but the in-app purchase is free. But basically, you have to pay the same as before.
    When you upgrade, don't delete or uninstall your current GarageBand 6.0.5. You can use both versions concurrently, and the new version does not support all features of the previous GarageBand version. you may want to use your previous version occasionally, and it is hard to get it back, once uninstalled.

  • How much computing horsepower do I really need to use iMovie?

    How much computing horsepower do I really need to use iMovie effectively?  I'm trying to make a one-hour movie from HD camcorder clips and still images.  My iMac 24 with Intel Core 2 Duo running at 2.33 GHz and 2 GB of RAM severely bogs down and regularly locks up or crashes.  Now that I've painfully managed to insert all of the video clips and still images, my iMac won't play the video back smoothly so that I can edit the work.  Within a second or two, the video either stops or becomes extremely jerky, while the audio continues to play.
    Do I really need an $8000 MacPro 12-Core computer running at 3.3 GHz, with 32 GB of RAM, twin, 2 TB hard drives, and a $1000 27-inch Apple display, or will something less costly work fine for producing videos?
    Thanks for any advice,
    Joe

    Thanks for your reply, Klaus1.  I'm currently running Snow Leopard.  I'd considered upgrading to Lion but was told, even by Apple, that I wouldn't be satisfied with its slow performance on my iMac 24.
    I have plenty of hard drive space with 160 GB available on my internal hard drive, but I've been storing the archived video clips and the iMovie projects on a fire-wired, external 2 TB drive.  Could it be that using an external hard drive for the iMovie project is part of the performance problem?
    A quick check on the Apple website shows that my iMac 24, which was manufactured in mid-2007, can support up to 4 GB of RAM.  I wonder if I should consider a RAM upgrade before upgrading the entire computer.  How big a deal is it to replace RAM in the iMacs?

  • Do I need to pay for the iPad version of an app if I have it for the iPhone

    I received an iPad as a gift from my wife, and I also own an iPhone. Since there are some apps that work on both systems, do I need to pay again for an iPad app that I currently have on my iPhone? App in question is MLB.TV. I currently own it for the iPhone and would like to get it for the iPad (since I that the iPad version is really good). Do I need to pay twice for the same app?

    The apps are divided into three categories on my iTunes:
    1) iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad apps (These will transfer to your iPad and are optimized for iPad, automatically, or uncheck any you don't want on your iPad under "Apps" when your iPad is connected to your computer to sync. These apps have a + sign by them to indicate that they are for multi-platforms.)
    2)iPhone and iPod Touch apps (You can use these also, on your iPad. These are usually vertical apps and you can select 2X after opening them on your iPad to make them bigger. The resolution may not be very good on these apps, since they are for the smaller screens.)
    3) iPad apps (These have to be purchased specifically for the iPad. They usually look and perform great since they are made for iPad. There are many free versions of iPad apps which I already had on my iPhone and iPod Touch.)
