Getting yahoo mail on G2 ipod touch?
Hi all,
I've had a 1st gen ipod touch for a while now and can connect to my yahoo mail no problem.
However i've recently bought a new 2nd gen ipod touch, and now when i try to register my account, i get the error message...
The user name or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect.
My username and password are definately correct - I enter them all the time on my PC! And it still work on my old ipod touch, even if i delete the account and then set it up again. And I can access my mail if I use safari, but it's much easier to use the 'mail' app.
Any ideas? I don't know if it's a yahoo or ipod thing. My googlemail works fine on both ipods.
Cheers.
Do you have any symbols in your password? I also got the same error as you "bad password/user name" and after a few hours of struggling I found the problem. I had a symbol in my password and apparently either apple or their link to yahoo can't deal with symbols. I changed my yahoo password to not include any symbols and it worked right away.
I have the ipod 2g. Never had the 1st gen so don't know how that works.

I resaved a draft email in yahoo mail on my ipod touch and it just disappeared - how do I get it back? And why did this happen?
You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer. -
What's wrong to my ipod touch when i have setup my mail, contact, calendar?What should i do? I can't access my yahoo mail through my ipod touch
Try deleting the Yahoo account stuff from the iPod and reenter the settings. Some users have had to reset their Yahoo password to get it to work. Many users have problems with their Yahoo account on the iPod.

Tried setting up my verizon e-mail account on iPod Touch, 4th generation. Am able to send out e-mail messages but none of my e-mails on my Mac show up in the inbox. Just get the "Checking for Mail" endlessly.
On the iOS array of devices, you need to make sure all of the settings are right. I have found an official Verizon webpage for setting it up on Apple devices right here:

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.

Sending e-mails from an iPod Touch
I ned to send ocaisional e-mails from my iPod Touch. At the moment I cannot do so and get the error message that the sender address was rejected by the server. I have checked the settings for e-mails and they appear to be correct. I am able to receive e-mails. If anyone can advise me as to how to overcome this problem, in simple terms please, i would appreciate it.

I'd delete the lot and start again. It may be a simple typo - like btinternewt! Did you try the alternative outgoing server port?

After having spent EUR 130 on cables from apple, i still can not get video out from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Any ideas? It should nt be diffiicult to do this on the 21 st century, or not?
Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media. You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else. As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC. Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location. -
After getting a new router, my ipod touch is asking for a password. I was able to put in the router's passcode on all my other wireless stuff, but the ipod won't accept it. I thought I had made too many attempts, but I've reset it and it still won't let me on. I have no idea what the password is or why it is now asking for one. Help!!
Look at the manual for the router. The password is on the router. Then change the password in the router to something other than the default one and use that password when the iPod asks for it (it will only ask once, once it has the password/router combo in its memory, it will remember it)

I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs. in order to start rebuilding my music collection?
You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
When you get it all working, make a backup!

Is there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back onto a new hard drive?
My Mac crashed last Friday. First timeIs there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back into my new hard drive. The iTunes sync only goes one way from the computer to the iPod.
It syncs the photos taken with the iPod (really an old iPhone 3G without phone service) but not the folders which I synced from the old hard drive to the iPod over the past year.thank you for the tip.
Yes, my computer was backed up. for reasons way too complicated to go into here, these particular folders were not part of the backup.
Thanks again for the help.
