How do I get out of iOS Mail Setup?

Hi All
I got a new iPad Mini for Christmas. I got it set up and working easily and fairly quickly.
I copied my Mail settings from my MacPro (OSX 10.8) using the "Sync selected Mail accounts" check box in iTunes. I've been reading mail on my iPad for about a month.
Yesterday I traveled several hours to stay with a friend for a while. I got the iPad on my friends WiFi without a problem and I can surf the web, map stuff and everything appears to be working fine... till I check email.
When I open Mail, I'm presented with the "Welcome to Mail" setup screen - like mail thinks it's not configured.
I go into Settings/Mail, Contacts and Calendars, and all my email acccounts are there, just like they should be.
The iPad is playing the New Message alert chime as it fetches mail in the background.
When I open Mail all I get is the Welcome to Mail screen!
I tried putting in dummy info to get past the setup, but that fails and I end up back at the Welcome to Mail screen.
How do I get out of the stinking setup screen and back to my emails?

Thank you all for taking the time to read this. I believe I've solved the problem.
What I did:
I have several email accounts (ISP, Gmail, etc). I have them set to forward to one 'primary' account and I have that set to Active and the rest set to Inactive.
I went into Settings/Mail, Comtacts and Calendars and activated one of the inactive accounts, and de-activated the account I normally use. This change apparently convinced Mail that it was indeed configured and it got out of the setup screen and back to may emails.
I then went back to Settings/Mail, Contacts and Calanders and returned the accounts to their original configurations. Things are now back to 'normal'.
This is clearly a programming issue. Apps should not need to be 'kicked' like that to function.

How do I get out of this damn setup? I don't want any upgrade!

I don't want an upgrade to your software, but my pc keeps bugging me to do so. Same with google.com. I try to get out of the constant, annoying messages to sign up for this, sign up for that with no way to simply say NO THANKS! How can I go back to the old way. If I can't, simply tell me. I will open a new email account, close the old one and make sure I never put Firefox on the new account.

Are you meaning Firefox? (Firefox is in no way tied or associated with your Email address, so if this is an email issue, you'll have to contact whomever handles your email). Can you give a bit more detail as to your exact problem?
If you are meaning the upgrade to Firefox 12, this is a free update to old firefox software that introduces new features and security fixes. All older versions of Firefox are no longer supported, so you need to update to Firefox 12 in order to stay secure on the web. Not updating can leave you and your computer vulnerable to loss of information, hacks, viruses, etc.

HT5634 iMac (Late 2006 20") with IOS Lion installed Windows 8 via BootCamp4, Then Upgrade to 8.1 Pro. Worked with warning message until today. How do I get out of Windows 8.1 to get back to IOS Lion.

Until today I was able to ignore the compatability issues warning (I know bad idea to ignore warnings) and move between IOS Lion and Windows 8.1 Pro partitions on my 20" iMac (Late 2006) with Intel processor. After restarting Windows and spending 1/2 hour waiting for it to update (after installing Office 365) Window works fine, but when I activiate BootCamp (from Windows) nothing happens. It opens and gives me the warning with the option to run the program anyway (like always) but it the program never starts. It stays in Windows. How do I get back to IOS 7 Lion so I can upgrade BootCamp 4 to BootCamp 5 which I just saw today as the solution...?

Power off your computer. Power up your computer, during power up press and hold the option key. When the boot manager appears select OSx.

How do I get out of an iMessage group chat?

How do I get out an iMessage?! Like I have searched every website and still can't find anyway to get out of it. Some of my friends are adding me in these group messages and I am constantly trying to figure out who on earth am I texting! Then my friends eventually tell me who they are and I have to make unwanted contacts in my contact book so I can remember who they are. And sometimes I'm texting my friends moms! I really want to get out of these iMessages. Someone help me. On the other websites I have been on it says it is not possible, but I'm not willing to give up yet this is my last hope please help me.

Use a new address for iMessage. Use a free gmail.com email address just for iMessage.
iOS 7 allows you to block phone numbers or e-mail addresses from contacting you via the Phone, FaceTime, or Messages

How do I get this beta IOS 7.0.2 JUNK TO WORK with my iPod touch 5???

How do I get this beta IOS 7.0.2 JUNK TO WORK with my iPod touch 5?? I was prefectly happy with my iPod until I got the notice to upgrade itunes to 11.1 and would you like to upgrade your iPod from IOS 6 to IOS 7. And like an idiot I took the little green pill and pushed the button. Now I can't open iTunes, some apps; like the Lindsey Sterling app, Safari and Disney don't work either (not that I care about the Disney one, but, it's part of the base setup, you'd think "IT" would work!) almost anything with video links will not open, iCloud can't find me. All I get is that annoying white screen. I'M NOT HAPPY! I could have bought a Windows machine for a lot less money and have the same problems!?! (I'll bet Mr. Jobs is spinning like a top right now!) And I have goggled-- found a few fixes: re-install, restore, etc. found one that stated to get iTunes back to go into the iPods setting by double ckicking the home button go to iTunes app and sign out, then sign in again-- those options didn't work.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Suddenly, I've been put on multiple threads over multiple firefox problems, which is filling up my inbox. How do I get out of these?

Details? I posted a question about one problem (for which no answers have been offered, but that's okay) and somehow, I've become part of multiple threads about various firefox problems. I have no interest in any of these questions/problems.
How do I get out of these threads? I get about 15-20 emails a day! Firefox is by far the worst community I've even been dragged into....

Sorry you are having problems.
Have a look at your settings in the dropdown from the username or https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/users/settings
Not too sure what you could subscribe to accidentally that causes that behaviour though.
It would be interesting to know what option caused all the email. If something has gone wrong and you are getting e-mails that you should not be getting we can refer this to the admins to look into. The Firefox sumo community certainly does not intentionally spam, and if you are having a problem lets find out more, because others may have a problem and not have reported it.

HT5527 I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

If you migrated your MobileMe account before 1 August you should have signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it, and you would be able to see your calendars, bookmarks and emails on the iCloud website. Is this the case? Did you sign into iCloud with your @me.com address?
If you did not migrate your MobileMe account you can no longer do so.
If you did migrate, did you do so from a full MobileMe account or from a Family Pack sub-account? the latter did not get the complimentary storage (because their iDisks were only 5GB anyway).
If you had a full MobileMe account, check on your Mac - System Preferences>iCloud - and see whether that shows the upgrade. If it doesn't, you probably need to contact Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support (MobileMe Support is no longer available) and you may be asked to pay a fee: in this case you should ask them to deal with it without cost (and hope they agree).
Note that you haven't paid anything for your MobileMe storage since your first renewal date after 6 June 2011, and iCloud costs nothing unless you specifically choose to upgrade the storage. Note also the iCloud storage is not general file storage in the manner of the iDisk but is restricted to iOS device Backup, Mail, Photo Journal and Documents.

How do I get out of the Connect to Itunes screen on my iPod Touch?

How do I get out of the screen with the Itunes logo and the usb port to connect it to my computer? Earlier today I planned on updating my iPod Touch 5g to
ios 8 and I had just enough space left to update it. After the update was verifying, it put me on the screen to connect my ipod to iTunes, and every time i try to reset the ipod, it wont let me out of the screen. I don't want to update to ios 8 anymore, because everytime I try to restore the iPod, an error occurs. I am basically being forced at this point to update it, is there any way back to normal ios 7? Please help

hey, I accidently upgraded my iphone 4 to ios5, and stuck in "could not activate". How do i get out of this ? Thanks
Got a i7 processor with win 7 64bit.
How do i get back ?

How do you "accidentaly" upgrade to iOS 5? Are you a registered developer? As I understand, Apple has told developers that they do NOT support downgrading from the Beta. You'll have to go over to the developers forums and see if someone there can help you.
If you're not a registered developer, then congratulations. You are now the proud owner of an iBrick until you either pay to enter the developers program or until the final release comes out in the fall.

I Don't think Microsoft updated it for those buttons. Look for a blue button with arrows in it on the right side of the menu bar.
Also try Esc key.
