HT1277 When i try to set up my account it is saying logging in to the Yahoo IMAP server failed

I am trying to set up my mail account and it keeps asking me to enter the password even though i have done so numerous times and i keep entering the correct password but it is telling me that it is incorrect. What should I do to get my mail because as it is it will not let me recieve any new mail even though I am getting it through my ipad and iphone.

Hello,
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, or a server end problem.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

Another trick is to use the minimum 8 characters for the PW...

You are using PPPoE but there is no server to authenticate against.. or the modem is already connected and nothing else can join.
Is this ADSL?
Do you have the modem in bridge?
How does it work with the modem working as router? ie what type of connection does your ISP supply.. eg PPPoE is only one.. PPPoA is another.. IPoA or ETHoA.. and sever other more specialised.. PPPoE can only work where it is supported.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

When i try to send a message in mail it says it cannot use the server. I know very little about macs and need help

i need help with the email on my mac. it says i cannot use the sever. any help would be awesome thank you

If you are trying to connect to your ISP e-mail account. The ISP will help you setup and connect to your e-mail account. So, you might want to give them a call.
Usually, when you are told that you can't use the server it means that there might be an error (either a wrong name/ address / password/ connection type/ etc.) so check your settings again...
Else you could try the following:

When I try to make an in-app purchase, it says it cannot complete the transaction.

So, I downloaded the app Roblox mobile and tried to make an in-app purchase with it, and it worked the first three times, but when I tried a forth time, it said "Please contact Itunes Support to complete this transaction" I then tried purchasing an app, and I was able, same with songs. But not with the in-app purchase. I do not use credit card, but I just got a few Itunes gift cards and I'm using those. I have redownloaded the app and tried over and over, and even waited a day, but it still doesn't work... its an Ipod 4th Gen and I just got it a few days ago, and there's only about ten apps on it. I also got the apple account at the same time. I sent Itunes support a message, but I'm posting this while waiting for their response.

Why is gmail not working when I try to set up in Mail?

I cannot set up my mail account. i try to set it up but when I enter my information, it says: Logging in to the Gmail IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then click Continue. If the information isn’t correct, you cannot receive messages.
What is wrong?

how are you connecting to the internet?
think is many mobile network providers block various ports which some mail services rely on

HT2534 When I try to set up an Apple ID, it's asking for a credit card, and there is no "None" option, like this page suggests. How can I bypass this? This iPad is for a younger child who has no credit card, and will not need to make any purchases.

Make sure that your Apple ID is your email address and you do not have any other or old IDs associated with you. Go to www.appleid.apple.com and confirm this info. Make sure that the email address you are trying to sign up with is your primary one.

I upgraded my wife's iMac to Mountain Lion. When I try to set up her cloud connection to sync with her iPad and iPhone, it says it is sending a verification email, but it never arrives. Any way around this. Her phone and iPad seem to already be in sync .

When I try to set up my wife's Cloud account after upgrading to Mountain Lion, I click on the "send verification email" box, but the email never arrives. Her iPad and iPhone already seem to sync up in the Cloud, but no storage is being used. Any suggestions on how to get the account on her iMac?
