I enter my hotmail account into outlook and I get the 'unable to verify account information'...why?
My email and password are correct. I can log in and check mail on the site but for some reason not in the app.
Any help is appreciated.

I too had this problem.
I found the answer on another forum question: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25497825#25497825
If you have enabled Two-Step Verification, then you shoud go to following link:
https://account.live.com/Proofs/AppPassword
You will get password for any applications you want to add, just insert that password in place of your regular password and you are good to go.

I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto and cannot get the Places map to let me fix a position on the map. It remains disabled for my photo. Checking out the Help file has not given any solution.

I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto and cannot get the Places map tp show. I have tried the Help file and the information was not helpful. Can anyone give advice here?

I am using iPhoto 9.1.1. When I select thephoto, then Places I get the window (Places to lookup disabled). When I hit theInfo button I get the size an JPEG notification, and Faces and Key words. The “reverse” of thepicture shows a window with Rotate, Hide, Trash etc.
When I select Places, get the Google worldmap, and this case a pin on Sydney Australia showing that eighteen photos arecorrectly placed. I am unable to make the connection to San Francisco wherethis particular photo was taken on a very modern camera.

No matter what I try when setting up an account for game center, I get the response that this account is already in use. I have tried several times to reset both my Apple ID and a password.

Have been having trouble trying to set up an account with game center. I have several times reset both my Apple ID and password using both of my email accounts. Each time I get a message saying that it is "already in use by another game center account", which I am sure is me, but I must have done something wrong in the initial set-up. Please advise how I can wipe out all info and finally create a valid account to get onto game center!! Thanks!

Im trying to switch the Apple ID names around, and what i've learnt is that the Apple ID has to be an Email that isn't an Apple ID. Yup, it's messed alright.

Recently I am unable to open my hotmail account. When I try it says unable to verify account settings. Nothing has changed, just one day it wouldn't open. Any suggestions

Recently having problems with my iPhone 4S not allowing me access to my hotmail account. Any suggestions

Checked out that link and everything seems to be in order on this machine at this time.
I only have CC installed on this one machine, not even my secondary machine like is permitted. it seems odd that I'm asked to re-accept the Licence Agreement as often as I am. If I had to guess, it's almost every week, if not multiple times some weeks, that all the software will decide I should have to view the licence agreement.
Edit: I've never had any noticeable "errors" activating or anything like that. I just get asked to do it quite frequently.
This activation screen isn't too annoying (it involves clicking one single button), but like I stated earlier, if I'm trying to launch the software by double-clicking on a PSD, AI, PPROJ, AEP, etc... that file will fail to open.
I feel like that's probably not really a bug, but it is frustrating, since I did launch the application with the intent to edit that specific file I tried to open.
Again, something that you guys may consider working on.
Another annoyance is that: agreeing to the licence agreement is a per-application task, so if I see that Licence Agreement dialogue window by opening Photoshop (for example), I know that every other piece of software I have in the suite (Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Audition) will be showing me that screen on it's next launch. Probably deliberate for legal purposes that I can't just agree once for the whole suite, but heck, it would save me a lot of minor headaches if it was a unified agreement.

Getting 'Unable to verify account information' when attempting to setup Hotmail account

I enabled two-step verification today on my Hotmail email account.   This is my one and only Outlook account and is my 'primary alias' which is correct.   I am able to retrieve email on my iPhone and Windows PC just fine - have logged in and out several times today on the PC with no problem.   However I now cannot get this account setup properly on my iPad, though it worked before today.   I get the 'Unable to verify account information' message when I try to set up the account new again on iPad.   (I was forced to try and delete and reset it up.)
Is this somehow related to the two-step verification?   If so I will remove it and go back to single sign in.   What do you advise for email on the iPad in this case?
Thanks
Michelle

That's a question for Microsoft.

Trying to set up hotmail account on iPad. unable to verify account information. Help

Changed hotmail password on PC. iPad2 stopped fetching hotmail. Deleted account from iPad2. Tried reinstalling. continue to get message "Unable to verify account information". What do I do now? Help.

Aloha Helzo,
Not sure if it's solved or not. I did have to uninstall all my CC from the old computer before I was allowed to install on the new computer, but it still kept telling me I had to buy the programs. I'll just watch and see if I get double-billed. I should know within a couple of weeks. If I do, then I will try and resolve it through the people in the billing department. that's how I ended up having to resolve it last time I changed computers.

If you have two-step verification turned on, turn that off, then try it again.

Exchange Account - Unable to verify account information

Hi There. I was trying to setup a staff members work e-mail to a work iPhone 4. The e-mail is an Exchange e-mail. All the information is correct (e-mail spelling, username and password, Domain and Server, etc) but it keeps saying "Exchange Account - Unable to verify account information" Usually I just click Ok and it still gives me the options to select what I want to sync (Mail, Calendar, etc) and it still goes through. This time it doesn't work at all. Just saves the info I inputted and won't sync up. Any ideas on what's going on?
Thank you for your time and consideration!

Did the user change their password recently?
A user complained about not being able to log in with correct credentials (on outlook 2010) while at home. His password had expired, and when he came in this morning, he changed it. We then tried to set up his exchange account on his iPhone, which gave us the "Unable to verify account information" message. When I learned of the password change, I looked in our Active Directory and sure enough, his account had been marked as "Locked". I unlocked it, and voila! He added his account without any further problems.
So in short, check Active Directory to see if the accounts of affected users are locked. If they are, unlock them.

I am unable to add hotmail account into my ipad 2. Hotmail says the problem is with apple since I can access the account in all other devices except my ipad. I need to get pass, "unable to verify my account information" Apple personnel appear helpless

I have an Ipad2 and have tried severally to re-add my hotmail account but couldn't. In collaboration with Apple personnel today (10/17/2012), we routed the Settings and General via the home page but solution appears elusive. I can't get pass "Unable to verify your account information" Hotmail feedback has it that the problem is with the iPad since I can access the hotmail account on my laptop, desktop, and smart phone, Can someone please help me in this matter.

I see you have resolved this problem but for anyone else trying to sort out their Hotmail account on their iPad try the following:
Try deleting your Hotmail account from your iPad/iPhone (making sure you can access your emails from your PC or other device as all your email history will also be deleted). Then under Settings go to 'Add an account' and click 'Other'(don't use the Hotmail heading). Fill in the required details for your Hotmail account and wait for account to be verified. This has just worked for me. Good luck!

How do I get past "Unable to Verify Hotmail Account Information" on iPad2? Can't retrieve my Hotmail e-mails from my iPad, Help!

Bought a new iPad2 with wi-fi access. I am at home on my wi-fi network using iPad. Trying to add my Hotmail account to the iPad so I can retrieve my e-mail messages. When I try to add the Hotmail e-mail account to the iPad, I select Windows Live Hotmail on the iPad. I then enter my Hotmail e-mail address and Hotmail password in the iPad. The iPad then says Verifying. Then a box pops up saying "Hotmail Account, Unable To Verify Account Information". I spent about an hour on the phone with iPad support and they tried everything they could to no avail. iPad support said I would need to contact Hotmail support. I have learned that Hotmail does not have a support phone number that you can call, only a search area that is of no help. I am able to log onto my Hotmail e-mail account no problem on my regular computer. I was able to program my wife's Comcast.net e-mail into the iPad no problem and bring up her e-mail on the iPad. I can not get past the "Unable to verify Hotmail Account Information" message on the iPad. Frustrated, want to be able to retrieve my Hotmail e-mail messages from my iPad, please help! Thank you.
