    You got a new laptop? try asking there or in Lion forum.
    If it has Lion, use the Recovery Mode boot Command-R
    Use that to erase and reinstall - it has network install ability.

  • I can't set up an imap email account on new ipad.

    I went to settings and did everything required to set up my imap email account.  The account won't send or receive emails.  The internet connection is great.  I can set up a Gmail account with no problems, but the imap account won't work.  I had my ISP reset my password, so that isn't a problem.  Any suggestions?

  • How do I set up my work email account on my iPhone?

    I have an iPhone by my IT department won't support it. So I have to set-up my email myself. The problem is I'm not sure what info to fill in and where.
    I am able to access my email using remotemail on the web so I'm hoping I can use that info. My details look as follows:
    http://remotemail.company.co.uk
    [email protected]
    I have a user name and password which I use to login which is the same for both remotemail and my network at work.
    I have been trying to use the Microsoft exchange setup option on my iPhone but am struggling.
    Can anyone help?
    Cheers

    Generally speaking, you need to set up an Exchange account using the Exchange setup option, then fill out the information as listed. The server should be remotemail.company.co.uk with your user name and password being the those that you use to log into your mail site.
    However, you must remember that your IT department holds all the keys to the realm, if you will. Unless they have the proper options checked on your account, such as off network ActiveSync access you will not be able to set the iPhone up with your work email account.
    Do other people in your company access their email using mobile devices? What devices do they use?

  • How do i set up a second email account on my 1st generation ipad

    I have an apple 1st generation ipad. How do I set up a second email account??? Please help

    You need to ask your mail provider for the setup info.  Usually it can be found on ther website in their help pages or the like for most email providers.
    If its a known service like hotmail, or gmail, there are preset options for those that fill in the required server info.
    If its a corporate email, the IT department should have this information.

  • I have put my daughter's iphone under my apple id, as after i entered the payment info there was a message saying she wasn't allowed an account (too young) how do i set up her own email account etc

    I have put my daughter's iphone under my apple id, as after i entered the payment info there was a message saying she wasn't allowed an account (too young) how do i set up her own email account etc

    You have to be 13yrs. of age or older to have an iTunes account. So, if you want your daughter to have her own account, what you need to do is create another Apple ID for yourself. You can create one here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
    Must be a verified email address...you can get a free Gmail account first. Then, when setting up the iTunes account, redeem an itunes gift card rather than using a credit card. That way, she'll have her own account, which you can monitor, but its not associated with any credit card.

    how do i set up an outlook email account on my ipad?

    Have you double checked all of the settings? .... The outgoing mail server setting? Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.
