Email both Yahoo and others problem on iphone

i have had to recreate my accounts (2) several times, they work, i get/send email and then boom, overnight, it stops working. i tried to reset today and can not get either to work. when I open them it simply says "checking for mail" and the circle thing goes round and round with no luck.
this is both in wireless areas and/or elsewhere,
any thoughts or suggestions, it has happened 3 times already and this time recreating the accounts do not help, frustrating.

I have had similar problems. Frequently my email retrieval goes into an endless spin of "checking for mail." I can correct it by resetting, but, this is becoming a real nuisance. I would be interested if there is some other procedure or setting that might correct it.

  • How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot.  You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services.  The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
    P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

    Hello,
    On the disappeared folders, try this first...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    On the screen issue, do you have System Preferences>Energy Saver>Sleep, set to Put Display to sleep in xx minutes?

  • I have just noticed that in both Yahoo and Gmail the drop and drag function for attachments has stopped working. Is this due to Firefox?

    I am currently using Firefox 19. In the last week I have found that in both Yahoo and Gmail I am unable to attach files using drag and drop; I have not used drag and drop for a little while so I cannot say that it begun with a particular Firefox update. Unlike some users of FF16 I have no problem dragging tabs around in the browser. I know in the past certain issues with attachments have evidently been related to the browser and hence the reason I consider such a link now. I am using Windows XP SP3.

    Tylerdowner, hi.
    Thanks for your response, but remembering the cause of a previous attachent problem that many Firefox users were having at around the time of FF13 related to the network.http.spdy.enabled setting to 'true' I decided to check that setting again in about:config.
    To fix my problem at the time I, like others, changed the SPDY setting from 'true' to 'false' and this I found had not been automatically changed with later versions of FF. I did find, however, that there were now two other SPDY settings for v2 and v3, which were set to 'true'. In case these were conflicting with the first setting on 'false' I changed this latter to 'true' also. This done I returned to Gmail and tried to attach some files, firstly in the normal way by clicking on attachments and selecting a file from the dialogue box, which worked (previously on 'true' this had not worked); secondly, I tried attaching using drag & drop, which now worked. I also found that drag & drop worked in Yahoo too.
    So, could a conflict between the SPDY versions have been the cause of the problem when network.http.spdy.enabled was set to 'false'?
    If the problem occurs again I will let you know. (I have attached a snapshot of the current settings.)

  • Lost the ability to connect to both WiFi and Bluetooth on my iPhone 4S.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Lost the ability to connect to both WiFi and Bluetooth on my iPhone 4S.  Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

    Have you followed http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 ?
    Also try settings>general>reset>reset all settings
    If you have followed that article and restored your phone and set it up as new and you're still having that issue you may call and explain you followed the article and are still having the problem. Most likely they will either set up a replacement for you. If they ask you to set up the one time phone support agreement, and they assist you with a restore again, they won't bill you if they end up having to repair it.

    You can't do anything, you should just wait.

    I'm getting a similar error over here. Sporadically some sites won't load specifically in Safari; they open just fine in Opera, Firefox and Camino though. This is really annoying.
    It's pretty clear it's nothing network related…

  • Why can't i put an out of office on my iphone email? Blackberry and other android phones will allow this feature.

    I just purchased my iPhone, one thing I don't like is that with my Blackberry it allowed me to put an Out of Office reply to my emails. I thought the iPhone was a leader!!! Blackberry and other Android phones can do it.

    Why can't you?  Simple..Apple doesn't include that feature.
    Download and use iMExchange instead.

  • Photos sent from my iphone 4s to email addy's and other phones are not being recieived.

    I've tried sending them as different sizes and to various email addy's and phones - they never get received.

    It's called iMessage, new in iOS 5.0...these messages are going as iMessages, and as designed, they appear on all of your iOS devices(your Apple ID on your daughter's phone). Either turn iMessage off on your daughter's phone or get her her own Apple ID & wipe her phone & then setup it up again using her own Apple ID. Your daughter having her own Apple ID is recommended if you want to fully take advantage of iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, etc. She can still use your iTunes account.

  • Ios 5.0.1 crashing, slow and other problems

    I am using an iPhone 4 running 5.0.1 and Im just fed up with it, as much as I loved the iPhone in the past Im afraid I have fallen out of love and I'm conteplating a breakup.
    Problems I have had with the version 5.*.* update:
    * Safari and the built in youtube app crash at least twice daily and other apps, most notably accuweather and Facebook also crash on a daily basis
    * Pages/windows don't load properly, an example of this is the texting app, I open the app and select a converstation, the "messages" button, name and "edit" buttons apear at the top but the area that would disply the text conversation never changes to show the accutual text messages and only pressing the home button and reentering the messages app will fix this.
    * I have had text messages compleatly disapear if I recive one while acitivly using the phone, mostly by pressing the home button or preforming other input at the same exact time I recive a text message. I get the popup notification dispalying the text of the message in the notifaction but when I go to reply to the message It is gone, like it never existed.
    * Simply navagating the phone such as menus, back buttons, or loading apps is slow. I can out type the keyboard and in general the phone is becoming more and more usless. As an example, wakeing the phone with the home button takes upto a full two seconds for the unlock screen to open, then another full second for the phone to "think" before it unlocks. This is increadibly slow compaired to the previous versions, and much slower than my old iPhone 1 and my non-updated iPhone 3Gs
    * I use to have a problem where the purple arrow indicated the phone was using location services about 50% of the time and it was the setting time zone feature. I disabled location services for this feature and it fixed the problem. I did not notice an abnormal battery drain with this problem.
    * The keyboard will not hide and/or display at approprate times requireing me to restart the app.
    * Notication sounds, mostly incoming SMS sounds dont play at approprate times or play twice a few seconds apart for the same incoming message
    * Autocorrect is too easily learning misspelled words leading me to reset the keyboard dictionary too frequently
    * Incoming email and SMS messages cause the phone to loudly vibrate while talking on the phone, this is a new problem with ios5. I use to be proud of the iphone for not doing this becasue I talk to people with androids and found the vibration noise very annoying while on the receving end.
    My phone is rather clean and I have very few third party apps installed. I use the facebook app, a weather app, and only a few other apps. My storage memory is about half full and thats almost entirly music.
    I regualry power cycle and restart my phone, I would say at least once a day. 
    I have tried to fix the phone by disableing and enableing anything I can find from notifications, location services and icloud and nothing has helped.
    I have also tried rebilding the phone, both from a backup, and restored as new. I have taken the phone to an apple store and had them restore it as well, they claim to be able to restore "deeper" than what I can do at home, I assume this is similar to flashing the firmware and not just the software. Doing any kind of restore does seem to help with the speed problem for about 2 days as it slowly gets worse and returns to its ever slow and defective operation.
    I have not noticed any problems with my ipad v1 running ios 5.0.1
    Two of my freinds complain about a similar experience with ios 5 on the iphone
    Does anyone have similar problems or an idea for a fix?

    Here's and update on my problems and here are are some screen shots of the types of problems I've been having since the v5.0.1 update. Keep in mind these are native apps and I have tried the rebuild phone crap many times, nothing helps.
    This is screen shot of a what happened when I tried to use my camera one day, both the front and back cameras were all black. I had to power cycle the phone to get rid of this problem. The cameras appeared to be working correctly, I could focus and zoom but it was all black.
    Here is an image of what happened when I searched for something in a map. This is after I picked the choice I wanted, the keyboard disappeared but the list didn't. I had to force close the app and restart it for this problem to go away. Who knew five bars on ATT was possible.
    And finally this is the messaging app, although you would not know it. I had to return to home screen (after a long pause for it to process the button push) and return to the messaging app. This happens all the time with the messaging app and the notifications sounds drive me crazy. If  i'm using the phone, say browsing the web and I get an incoming message its almost 100% of the time the messaging app will screw up. The sound will play at the wrong time or not at all, message will show up in notifications and diasapear in message app or Ill have a problem like this:

  • No Battery Charge and Other Problems After OS3 Install - Solution?

    This relates ONLY to iPhone Users using the "PUSH" Function for Email or Other Apps!
    PROBLEM: It seems as though Apple is at least aware of the problem(s), i.e. once Exchange Email or another App using PUSH is configured, there is an OS3 bug that seems to be hardware independent (impacting ALL 1G, 2G and GS iPhones, but not consistently).
    SYMPTOMS: Include some or all of the following . . . rapid discharge (less than two hours from a fully charged phone, failure to charge (by AC adapter or USB to computer), failure to charge completely, perpetual dead battery icon, inability to boot, inability to automatically sleep, quite warm on upper back side, slow email, indication of a full or partially full charge dropping to no charge or dead when removed from charging source.
    CAUSE: OS3 Bug prevents consistent charging, draining the battery even when plugged in to a computer via the USB or into an A/C adapter (although I've been able to intermittently charge on an A/C adapter). In push mode, the Exchange email client on the iPhone continually queries the Exchange Server, cycling the iPhone CPU and continually draining the battery at a high rate (can
    WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY APPLE:
    1) Defective Hardware (though I'm on my third 3G in a week, so I don't think hardware is the problem . . . Apple will consider replacement with a new 3G if my third 3G has the same problem)
    2) Corrupted App in iTunes - so I manually reloaded each app directly over wi-fi, one app at a time, this worked until I configured Exchange Email, at which time symptoms immediately appeared . . . so corrupted app unlikely.
    3) Initial data transfer after email configuration . . . but symptoms continued long after this.
    4) Wi-Fi - but turning wi-fi on or off had little effect, beyond normal.
    5) Restore to New Phone - this works fine UNTIL Exchange Email is configured and activated. Thus, the time consuming practice of reload all apps, photos, music, etc. will be for naught, once exchange email is turned on with "push"
    SOLUTION: Turning off "push" on your exchange email account
    1) Go to Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars - Fetch New Data
    2) Set Fetch Setting to 15 minutes to approximate the much more frequent "push" uploads and downloads. NOTE: Turning off \"push\" at this level will NOT turn off push on your exchange email account and the problem will not be resolved
    3) Scroll down and select - Advanced -
    4) Identify and select your Exchange Server account
    5) Select - Fetch -
    6) Leave settings
    Phone should cool down in a few minutes and work normally. The problem can be replicated and resolved repeatedly merely by toggling "push" on and off in your exchange email configuration.
    I was told that this is likely to be the "fix" until a patch is issued. No time frame was given for an actual fix that allows Exchange users to use push technology. Disappointing, since broader use of "push" technology beyond exchange was one of the big benefits of OS 3.0.
    NOTE: THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR ON ALL iPHONES WITH OS3 USING THE EXCHANGE CLIENT. I have second 3G phone, identically configured (including push to exchange email) that has no symptoms at all. Go figure.

    Since two days ago, my battery indicator has been indicating 100% until the phone dies, which seems to be one of the symptoms you're describing.
    However, I don't use Push emails; my email client is configured to poll an imap server and has been that way since I got my phone over 6 months ago. To be on the safe side, I turned off Push anyway, but I'm still having the problem. Definitely 3.0 related as I've never had this problem before.
    Perhaps it's linked to an app? Personally I don't have a whole lot of them installed: Aurora Feint, fstream, twitterific, flixster, wikipanion, google earth, urbanspoon, STM Mobile, iDicto, Air Sharing, Facebook and Apple Remote. I've removed a few and will see how it goes.

  • Thunderbird works fine, Apple Mail can't send (and other problems)

    I have both Thunderbird and Mail setup exactly alike. Thunderbird can send mail just fine, every time, from any location. Mail was able to send messages a few times but for the last few days refuses to send anything.
    Here's the setup:
    Four smtp servers
    mail.bellsouth.net
    mailer.louisiana.edu
    smtp.coxmail.com
    smtp.central.cox.net
    each is setup with password SSL authentication. Each works just fine on any other computer and even on this one with Thunderbird. Apple Mail is the only problem. (and yes - ALL SETTINGS ARE EXACTLY CORRECT)
    NO - port 25 is NOT the issue - it works fine with other software on this computer and others - it is ONLY Apple Mail which can't manage to connect to the servers.
    I use an AirPort extreme and have reset it repeatedly. (I can usually connect to an smtp after doing so but only until Mail attempts to send) I have tried a direct ethernet connection as well. Same results.
    Mail refuses to connect to any smtp server. (it connects to the POP servers just fine) Occasionally, if I retype in the smtp password, or even delete it and turn off SSL, it will connect for a short time. (until I try to send a message)
    What's the deal?
    I see others have similar problems, but all seem to be ISP related. In this case, I've controlled for everything I can think except Apple Mail.
    A few other problems, maybe related or not:
    Mail has NEVER saved any messages I have sent out in any type of 'sent' folder. Sometimes the folder appears, sometimes it doesn't, but it is always empty. And yes, the setting to 'delete messages in the sent folder' is set to NEVER. So they should all be there.
    Additionally, the very FIRST note I created was saved in my Inbox as it should have been. NOT ONE single subsequent note has saved - I lost every one of them. (I also can't seem to find any means to manually save the note - how ridiculous)
    Finally, though it isn't that important at the moment, when Mail can't manage to connect to an smtp server, it just sits there and tries to send forever. Sometimes it will tell me it failed and suggest another server, sometimes not. In all cases, there does not seem to be a "STOP" button or command to tell Mail to quit transmitting/receiving.
    I'd really like to use this program since it integrates with iCal and Addressbook, but this is getting absurd.
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    Who is your isp?
    If it is Cox they say on their site that you have to use only their smtp server.
    Other than the mailer server (of which I have no info), I question the ssl setting.
    Cox specifically say to not use ssl when setting up the outgoing server.
    Bellsouth do not appear to require authentication and do not use ssl either.

    "each is setup with password SSL authentication. Each works just fine on any other computer"
    Are any of the other computers mac's?
    You say that "it works fine with other software on this computer" - what is this other software that is using ssl and port 25 to connect to the smtp servers?
    Port 25 is not used for ssl, use either 587 (standard) or in some cases 465 (non-standard).
