Downloading security update started automatically today but stayed on almost an hour saying it was connecting to the server. So, I turned it off.

This update stayed on a really long time just telling me it was connecting to the server. It said it was a security update. Today is 12/9/2010. It made me nervous staying on that long, so I turned it off, exited Firefox and tried again. Same thing happened.

Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Here are Apple Steps for Error 21:
This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
My additional advice:
Also Error 21 can occur with DFU Mode Restore, try Recovery Mode Restore. Restart computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click Restore button of iTunes.

ITunes tells me there is an update (5.1) but it never gets any further than trying to connect to the iPad server. I've tried updating directly from my iPad and it too times out saying it cannot connect to any server. My regular Apple updates work fine.

I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.
iOS 5.1 Software Update

You can wait a while & update at your convenience.

I have 2 emai accounts which worked perfectly on iphone 4 but on iphone 5 my msn account wont let me reply to emails sent to that account, it leaves the message in my outbox saying recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying

I have 2 email accounts which both worked perfectly well on my ipone 4 but since going over to iphone 5 my msn account will not allow me to reply to any emails. It places a message on my screen stating a copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient @.com was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. Any ideas on how I can sort this. Would it be worth deleting my MSN account ant putting re-inputting the details again?

Your email provider has blocked the standard mail port 25 for sending emails and is requiring a different port. This is to avoid mail relays that use mail clients to send spam. You need to find the port that is used by your provider for sending outgoing mail. Then change the settings in your email account on your phone to match the port. You will also have to provide some security credentials for the account.
You can also try deleting the email account from your iphone, and the adding the email account back as this will many times set the correct port for sending emails.
You could also do a Google search on the the settings for your device with your email provider. That will provide you with the proper settings.

TS3899 after updating to iOS 6 I can not access my mail. It keeps saying can not connect to the server. Help!

After updating the iphone to ios6 the other day I have been unable to access my mail. Everytime I try and load it says cannot connect to the server. I have internet connection. Not sure what else to do. Help

I have been trying to update the software to 3.6.17for a while now, but it just sits and churns and says it is connecting to the server. I have already had my computer on all night and return in the morning to see it is still trying to find the server.

I have Firefox running on an IMAC machine. My current software version is 3.16.15. I am not that familiar with the firefox application since I am new to this application because of my bank requirements for estatements, so any help would be appreciated.

Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

I just figured out a solution. I connected my ipod to my computer, went to the 'info' tab on the menu for my ipod. I checked 'Sync Mail Accounts', which were greyed out until I selected them. That connected me to the Cloud and everything went back to normal. Hope this helps someone else!

I've lost a book I was writing, using pages. my mac air could not autosave it because my start up disc was full. the computer froze, i turned it off, then back on, and it was working fine but the file was gone.

ow do I recover a Pages file lost because Mac Air start up disc was full and couldn't autosave?

Unless you've done anything to change it, Google keeps every email that ever passes through their server in your All Mail folder/mailbox/label. Even if you delete stuff, they hold onto it, there. You have to go out of your way to actually delete anything permanently.

I am having this exact same problem with my gmail account. Hopefully someone will have a remedy.

HT1430 I receive emails but when I try to send emails, I get a box that says that the "recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying"

I can receive emails over AOL but cannot send them. When I do, I get a box that says "recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying"

That's because you did not enter your screen name and password for the outgoing (SMTP) mail server on the phone. Or if you did they got erased. Go to Settings for the account and enter them.
