Email account stopped syncing. Not listed in settings, but won't let me add account
My main email account (gmail) stopped working on my ipad last week. It doesn't sync--no incoming or outgoing--and I get an " IMAP error" pointing me to account settings to verify login info, but the account isn't listed there for me to check settings or to delete..
When I try to add the account, it says that it IS already on my ipad. I have 3 other gmail accounts on this device and they all work fine. But with my primary account not working, the ipad is nearly useless!
The only solutions I can find online say to verify settings or delete / re-add account, but no can do.
Please advise!

Try this first - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

"SYNC" Not listed in "SETTINGS"?
Hello! I just purchased the ATV and get everything pretty well setup. I was able to sync my ITunes library to my ATV successfully by initiating a sync through my existing ITunes setup associated with my computer, where my catalog is housed. I then purchased a few songs via my new ATV setup. I had thought I'd read that I should be able to initiate a sync through my ATV, is that correct? I believe it said there should be a SYNC option under SETTINGS, however, I only have GENERAL, SCREEN SAVER, AUDIO, VIDEO, COMPUTERS and DOWNLOADS? I do have my ITunes preference on my ATV setup to automatically sync...would that by why SYNC does not show up in my ATV settings? Thank you very much!
There's never been an option to force a sync manually via AppleTV - the process should be more or less automatic when you add new content to iTunes depedning on the iTunes settings, but I don't think it's as reliable with software 2.0. Restarting either iTunes or the AppleTv will usually force a sync.
The sync options in AppleTV menus were only to designate a syncing library not to actually sync it.

My S5 won't send emails from my verizon email account, which is the default email for my phone. It will send fine from gmail, but when I try to reply to messages in the verizon account, I get a "Sending Failed" message and an eternal loop from my outbox trying over and over to send the message. Does anyone know how to fix this? I took it to the Verizon store for help, and they were completely useless.
The tech help is useless. You have to load it manually but you must know the ports to use for both sending and receiving. You must get them from your Verizon fios account. This worked for me.

HT201365 Square Register is not listed on Settings Privacy Microphone in iOS 7. How do I turn it on?

I am having the same problem, only whenever I have tried to perform any iOs updates (from the computer using most up-to-date version of iTunes) my iPad gets an "unknown error" message & goes into Restore mode. I then have to use RecBoot to get it out of restore mode w/o losing any data. So far never have been able to update iOs, and can't do it wirelessly b/c option is not in settings panel...any other suggestions? Wasn't a big deal before, but now it really needs to be done or certain apps/functions won't work.

I created an iTunes account and finished by having a verification email sent out. I never got the email and when I get the note to resend it it won't let me tap on it and below it says, email address is already verified for another Apple ID
Apple requires each Apple ID be associated with a different email address. Perhaps that is why you haven't received the email. Or you received the email and it is in your Junk Mail folder.

After installing an app on iPhone 5s, I can't use it outside of wifi (using cellular or mobile data) and the app is not listed in settings to enable its use of mobile data - any clues on what is wrong here?
Steps to take to resolve this issue:
1/ Turn off Wifi
2/ Ensure Mobile (cellular) data is on
3/ Turn iPhone OFF and then ON (re-boot iPhone)
4/ Without turning Wifi on, open an app that requires mobile (cellular) data.
5/ The app will now show on the Settings list with the option to enable or disable mobile (cellular) data
6/ In time all apps that require or use mobile data will be added to the list automatically. -

Sync your iPhone to iTunes to copy the iTunes purchases to the computer.
Or iTunes prefs > Store.
Tick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases then click the Cloud icon after the song names to download them. -
After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group. When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category. A message pops up that says: "You can't add events or to do items to a calendar group. Select an individual calendar in the calendar list, then create your events or to do items." Any help here would be greatly appreciated! I would like to either retrieve the old information or find a way to add the category back in to start over. Thanks in advance!

My System Preferences won't let me open accounts?
My System Preferences won't let me open accounts? I really need it to work please help. Hugz and kissez Abbyxoxo1010
Hello Makena Little,
It sounds like you are unable to change your wallpaper background because that section of your System Preferences says that it is loading adn will not finish. I recommend performing a Safe Boot, then leaving it and retesting the issue:
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Starting up in Safe Mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Trying to set up my new iphone. Saved my info from iCloud and when I try to download on the 5c it is not in Bold so it won't let me select it but it does show my backup at 4:09. Any ideas??
Make sure your 5c is running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up. If it isn't you cannot restore the backup until you update the phone. Then make sure you are restoring the backup this way: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.
You phone won't need to be from the same provider or have the same telephone number to use the backup, but you will need to be signed into the iCloud account that you backed up your old phone to. -
My old iPod Photo sync'd with 10.6 but won't with my new iMac running 10.7, I get an error message and a message that it could not sync, am I done?
What's the error message say, exactly? Does the error occur when you sync, or when you just connect it? Does the iPod appear in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES), or does this error occur before that can happen?
I have an old 4th Gen (color screen) iPod, which should be the same as an "iPod Photo." It's been sitting idle for a while, but I just connected it to my iMac running Mac OS X 10.7 and iTunes 10.6.1. I think it's the first time I tried since upgrading to Lion. It connected and synced fine using USB.
