How do I 'Add a mail account to iCal'?
Hi,
I am trying to use the feature in mail in Leopard where you could hilight text in an email and create a new task. Since upgrading to SL I can only do this for my mobileme account and not my work account or gmail account that are set up in the same way as under Leopard.
When I hilight text in these account and go to the tick icon to create a task I get a message 'The to-do account is unavailable until you add the selected account to iCal'. I can't find any documentation on how to do this. I also have 'Create Notes and To dos' set to 'On my Mac'.
Anyone have this problem and know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Jason
OK, here it comes =) A little Jiggery Pokery
You need to play with the Mail setup to make it do what you need SOOOOO here is how you do it (I just set it up with my sbcglobal.net address)
Go into Mail and choose preferences
Select accounts and then click the + button
Now, here comes the Jiggery Pokery... You need to enter a fake email address to trick Mail into not automatically setting it to IMAP. So... enter your real name but enter a fake address (you can use the one I used in the picture)
Now, click continue. It will bring you to the manual setup screen!!! =)
You want to select POP....
You can give any description you want...
use pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com for incoming mail server
enter your username (should be [email protected])
enter your password and click Continue
You now get the outgoing mail settings
Enter anything in description
Outgoing mail server is smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
I did not tell it to use authentication and it went through the test.
Now once it is done you can add the account and you are EMAILING!

Cannot add new mail Account or iCal account
When I try to add a new Mail account (press " + " on the Mail -> Preferences -> Account tab) it temporarily darkens but nothing happens. Pressing "+" in iCal -> Preferences -> Accounts does not have an effect either.
Unlike in the case of other posters neither Mail nor iCal crashes. It just simply does not respond. At present I have two Mail accounts (created in an earlier version, probably Tiger) and no iCal account.
So far I have tried the following:
1) Press "Add account ..." in the File menue instead of pressing the "+" button. Result: No effect.
2) Use disk utility to repair permissions. Result: No effect.
3) Quit Mail; Move ~/Library/Mail, ~/Library/Mail Downloads, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist to the Desktop; Restart the Computer; Open Mail. Result: New Mail folders are created in ~/Library, a new com.apple.mail.plist is created. My .me account information is automatically recognized but I still cannot create another account, even not my second account that worked before.
4) Create a new user. Result: For the new user I can create at least 3 Mail accounts.
Obviously there is something wrong with my current user account, though I am not aware of any other symptoms. Any ideas how this can be repaired?Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. This will not affect your data. The phone will reboot.

Spending $ on iTunes ... How do I add $ to my account
Spending $ on iTunes
How do I add $ to my account without going to the store to to purchase a redeemable card?
Where is the email address where I can email support with this question?How do I add $ to my account without going to the store to to purchase a redeemable card?
This question does not need a response from the iTunes Store. The only way to add to your balance in your iTunes Store account is with a prepaid card or gift certificate or, if you're in the US, you can set up PayPal as the payment method. The iTunes Store has no facility for doing a direct transfer of funds from a credit card or bank account, if that's what you where thinking about. You can, of course, purchase an iTunes card from the online Apple Store and it will be mailed to you. -
I've forgot security question and answer, how can I add rescue mail address and how can I reset my security question and answer?
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

How do I sync my mail accounts on multiple apple products?
My live.com account will not sync with my iphone and ipad. If I receive and delete emails on my phone, I have to do the whole process again with the same emails once I am on my ipad/laptop. I have 2 accounts and one of them is in sync with my other devices but my live.com account is not. Is there a way to sync my account on all my apple devices to where once I delete or look at an email, I don't have to do it again on all my other apple devices?
Hi
You will probably have to add the mail accounts yourself onto the iphone see here:

How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB?
How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB? Can anyone give me the steps?
Essentially the Hub area is a home screen dedicated to your communication. Tap on the lower left icon and each of your messaging sections has its own dedicated 'icon.' As JC mentioned, it is new and it may take a while to get used to it.. but once you do it really is a great way to deal with the unified messaging idea and it also allows you to break down what you are looking at very quickly. Just need to learn a few new tricks. I've been on the Z for just over 3 months now and I could never go back...

The seller needs to follow this procedure:

If she refuses, then as Tim suggested the iPhone is probably stolen. You'll need to contact your local police department and ask how to proceed.
