HT201320 keep getting message  on iPad 4, when opening mail "Cannot Get Mail" Help!

I have my hotmail and gmail both set up on my iPad 4 3 G. Also had it on my iPad 1, before changing over to the 4. It has all been fine, until recently, where I keep getting a pop up window, upon trying to open my email. Message says: Cannot Get Mail, The mail server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings.  Then is has a OK button to press. I have checked and rechecked in my mail settings that the info is correct. Don't know what to do.  PS....I already had my two accounts synced together, so I see most mail, but cannot retrieve some mail I have placed into folders.

Yahoo's been having persistently random issues for months. You can try just waiting it out, or delete and readd your yahoo account. When my accounts were affected I just used webmail to access my yahoo accounts until it cleared up.
Chances are it's all on their end and really all you can do is wait it out.

  • Ipad freezes when clicking mail, contact, calendars

    ipad freezes when clicking mail, contact, calendars

    Still trying to figure out how to navigate these forum pages. For the last two consecutive days I have opened the default e-mail client on this iPad2 to find that the app will download all e-mail from my accounts and then freeze.  I have to hit the power switch to shut off and then restart the iPad -the I can open my individual e-mails.  Just like hitting control-alt-delete in the windows OS. Has the e-mail app been updated or something.  I haven't knowingly changed anything. By the way , registering for forums is a pain in the butt - I ahink i have screwed up myz old user name and will attack that separately.

    Also - this happens once and then after that I can run it ok for the rest of my session.  Power down and reboot then try e-mail and it freees, power down reset and it is ok. Has only been for the last two days.

  • HT201320 lost bottom banner when open "mail" cannot delete e-mails?

    lost bottom banner when open "mail" cannot delete e-mails?

    Close the mail app. Then double tap on the home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar. Swipe upwards on the mail app. Reset the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Once the phone reboots, try opening mail and see if this returns.

  • Verify Certificate when opening Mail

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help. Every time I open up Mail,on my iMac, I get a "Verify Certificate" dialogue box. With the following message;
    "Mail can't verify the identity of mail.me.com.
    The certificate for this server is invalid.You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be"mail.me.com" which could put your confidential information at risk. Do you want to connect to the server anyway?
    I click connect and the mail works fine. However, the message reappears every time on opening mail.
    I have tried the following,
    1. I have opened the certificate and clicked on the "Always trust "mail.me.com" when connecting to "mail.me.com"" but this will be not ticked the next time I open Mail.
    2. I have deleted then reopened the account.
    3. I have deleted the ByHost file in User/library/preferences.
    4. I have used the Keychain access and selected always trust for the certificate. It will not stay selected.
    Is there any way I can get rid of this message. It does not occur when opening the account from my MBP.
    Thanks

    Greetings,
    If you have the same account(s) setup on your Macbook Pro and it works fine there, I'd say your Mail preferences file is corrupt. So, if you make a copy of the com.apple.mail.plist file on your Macbook Pro and move it to Home/Library/Preferences on the problem Mac (which will overwrite the current file), then restart Mail, it should work fine again.

  • Problem when opening "Mail"

    Dear members of the Apple Community,
    After transferring my files and my profile on my new Macbook pro, I keep encountering a problem when opening "Mail". Each time I try, the app asks me to choose a mail account to add, but I already added the ones I normally use. I can either create/add this new account or click the "cancel" button. I cannot use the program (the main functions are not available). But if I try to add a new account, Mail does not upload the new messages for my existing accounts and if I click "cancel", the application simply close itself. What could I do?
    Thanks a lot to your help.

    It might be worth running Disk Utilities and then Repair Disk Permissions to see if that resolves the problem.

  • Unsent Messages Flood Screen When Opening Mail

    I've been using Entourage for mail with Bellsouth, but I frequenly have a problem with several hundred messages that I've already read downloading again. So...I'm thinking of switchin to Mail. But when I open Mail to give it a test the screen floods with hundreds of unsent messages.The only way to delete one is to say I want to edit the message. Only then does the red delete button activate and when I click on that I get a message asking if I want to save it or delete it. Is there any easier way to delete all of these unsent messages or stop them from popping up?

    Look into the mail accounts and delete their profiles. You should not lose any data you entered into contacts or calendar. After you delete them re-enter the profiles again. Hopefully it should resume working again.

  • Mail messages visible in preview, when opened the body disappears

    My emails are visible, but only in preview. When the mail message is opened, the header info and subject are visible but the body of the email is blank. Thoughts?

    Close the Mail app and is going to work.
    How to:
    1 - Go to Home Screen
    2 - On Home Screen, double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar.
    3 - Press and hold any Mail app until it start shaking.
    4 - Press the " - " in top left of the Mail app, it will close the app, don't worry about this.
    5 - Press Home Button to go to Home Screen.
    6 - Open Mail and the body mail will be there.
    If that doesn't work then do a reset and see if they show after the iPhone has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPhone equivalent of a reboot.

  • TS2621 Sometimes when opening mail, all existing messages disappear. Help please!

    Sometimes when opening email all existing messages just disappear.

    Mac HD says 2.49.72GB and 151.88 used??
    That's impossible. I think you mean to say that your HD capacity is 249.72 GB, and you've used 151.88 GB. You do have enough free space, so that means something else is going on to cause this problem.
    Aside from setting up the Gmail account(s), did you install or update anything just prior to this problem starting? If so, what were those items?
    I didn't mention any extension, so I'm assuming you're referring to seventy one's mention of TM (Time Machine). That is a built-in backup method that you can choose to take advantage of, but I would not do it, since it's not all it's cracked up to be. What you need is to setup and maintain every day a bootable backup of your entire hard drive. You can do that with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. You don't need an Airport device for these, nor Time Machine; in fact, I would shy away from using wireless for such things, as it's often more of a problem than a benefit.
    Also, there may be problems with your hard drive, so I would boot your Mac from the install disc, choose your language, then wait about 15 seconds for the menu bar at the top to appear and choose Utilities->Disk Utility and Repair Disk. If it comes back with any errors that can't be fixed, post them in your reply. But if not, then run Repair Permissions, and all you need to concern yourself with is the message at the end that 'Permission repair completed'; ignore anything else as long as you see that message.
    Then reboot your system and restart Mail and setup your account(s) again (assuming it's not there because you deleted the IMAP mail folder and the Envelope Index file. In the future, don't throw things away unless you know the consequences of doing so; you'll end up being unfortunately surprised when you lose critical information.

    ipad attachments openen in other applications kept the name of the attachment.  iOS7 changes the attachment name to an alpha numeric string when opening in another application

  • Suppress "get new mail" when opening mail

    Is that possible? I sometimes want to open mail just to check something but I don't want to get any new mail yet. I could not see this in Preferences. Thanks.

    Hmm, mine does not... I just tested it several
    times. It's possible there is some corruption in your
    prefs but if you delete mail prefs you'll need to set
    up your account info again.
    You may want to wait to hear from someone who's more
    of a Mail expert than me but it does seem something
    is wrong with the prefs.

  • Tired of color desat when opening in Bridge/Lightroom. HELP!

    I am going insane in my attempt to keep consistent color management through all areas. Everything was fine, color was great, prints were matched to calbration, monitor calibrated, and then....I rebooted the computer since I hadn't done so for a week, and when I restarted Bridge, and Lightroom (yields same results), the color immediately drains from the photos. Similar to the screenshot, however when I initially created this screenshot, Bridge was still accepting the color. Now, the desaturation exists in all Adobe programs. (PS CS5, camera raw, bridge , lightroom 3.  I feel like I'm going in circles here. I have no clue what could have changed with the reboot. One thing I have noticed is that in Window before a photo image is generated in a folder is shows as a paint pallette. And, when asked in Windows Color Management of the program I would like to use to install a profile, I am give Microsoft Color Management System (which to my understanding is designed for Vista or XP). Tried to delete the program but was denied. Not sure if that has anything to do with it either.
    If you have any insight and can help me stop the madness I would be so greatly appreciative!!
    Thanks!

    Hi Connie,
    Let me resume:
    Non  colormanaged applications (like windows explorer) shows your images  right, managed apps like LR and Bridge, which have different  cache folders, shows them desaturated, even the previewed NEF.
    Putting this  together, it can't a problem with the cache, harddisk, CF card. I mean, a  cache is a cache, and might needed to be updated from time to time, f.e.  when changing the monitor- or image profile. But I expect you always have done this.
    That's it - most of the rest (the tests done) provides unreliable information, sorry. I'm aware that to most of them you were forced by others, so don't take my following statements to personal.
    Nevertheless I believe what we see partitial is right: some of your images  are untagged (at least the PSD we see in one of the screenshots in here)
    Untagged images should look the same  in IE and Firefox unless you set Gfx.color management.mode to 1 and assign the monitor profile to FF. Per default CM in FF is enabled for tagged images only and by this acts like IE <V9 on untagged images
    Untagged sRGB should look oversaturated on wide-gamut monitors and browsers on which you can't apply a profile. Believe that is what you get.
    You asked me
    I'm confused which photos you viewed of mine that you found to be untagged?
    all the images you presented in threads in here are untagged ;-)
    Some might think different about that, but IMHO images always should have an embedded profile, even sRGB JPEGs used for web. You already get some hints on that in the other thread and the links to Ballard - even when his webdesign is a bit odd, its worth reading.
    I believe your issue is a combination of untagged images, a faulty monitor profile and maybe false handling.
    As implied above, personaly I can't trust any of the tests here, because they are (including the browser test I mentioned) not consistant done - I will tell you why.
    What you see next are three of the images you provided here, but stacked:
    #1 (RGB/8*)*
    here the second * indicates, that the image was altered (either bei assigning a colorspace or bei normal editing) after it was loaded and in a colorspace which is different from Photoshops working colorspace, which is indicated by the first *
    #2 (RGB/8*)
    indicates images colorspace is different from Photoshops working colorspace - that's fine when the working space is aRGB and the image f.e. sRGB
    #3 (RGB/8)
    no *, no # in here indicates it is in Photoshops working colorspace.
    (RGB/8#) at the top would mean it is untagged, but when when colormanagement was OFF in that moment, it also would read as (RGB/8) or (RGB/16) (without an # or *) at the top, but "untagged" in the info panel at the bottom, even when the image has an embedded profile...
    On the otherhand - and this is the important part - the Photoshop (import) settings you provided here, tells that your PS is at "preserve embedded profiles" BUT "ask when opening" at profile mismatches. By this you will be asked whenever an image profile mismatches the working colorspace.
    The latter should be unchecked, anyway.
    So what have you been doing, when you were asked for image #1 and #2? With this settings and since their colorprofiles are different from PS working space, you must have been asked and have assigned a profile different from working space or you haven't been asked (because images colorspace and the working space was the same) and you assigned a different profile initially later.
    Or you have changed settings again and again when taking those screenshots....
    When you say you see images as untagged in Bridge but in Photoshops info panel as "Adobe RGB (1998)" this can be, when a profile was added (assigned) after the image was imported to PS. Bridge will not know about that until you save the image.
    Will say: those of us trying to help, never know exactly what they are here looking at (maybe without realizing)
    Do we see a sRGB under an aRGB working space (RGB/8*) for #2? And #3, is this an aRGB image under an aRGB working space or a sRGB image under sRGB, (both would appear as RGB/8)? Or was the image untagged and colormanagement was off?
    Seems a bit chaotic, sorry.
    At least this is nothing on which I'ld be able to tell for sure what is going on.
    Next: the monitor  profile you sent to me, turns my U2410 dark and too much purple/reddish.
    Of  course there should be a differences (different monitor, different  environment light and my old eyes), but this is far to much - it hurt my eyes
    As  far I know, LR internal uses the Melissa color space (which is larger  than aRGB)  - I wonder what happens when RAW were processed via Meliassa  to aRGB with a too reddish monitor profile and are saved as untagged  aRGB....?
    I also wonder how LR can be configured to export to PSD without  they being tagged...?   Nevertheless, I was able to reproduce this once. For one of my PSDs the profile was removed, but at the moment I don't know how to reproduce that again.
    As said just make sure you images are tagged. But don't just apply a profile to those images already processed, when you don't know what really happend to them - it might get worse.
    Anyway.
    To solve your prob, you should forget about LR for  now and remove the monitor profile made with the Spyder, set the DELL  profile which comes with the CD and process images from scratch.
    Means  straight from NEF in one colorspace only -> via Photoshops ACR (output as aRGB and make sure aRGB is your  working space in PS), save them as PSD or TIFF and make sure they get tagged as aRGB. See if it makes a difference (color shift or not), when viewed  in Bridge.
    If there is no shift, start over with calibrating your monitor. Calibrating means setting the hardware right, by making sure the monitor was set to aRGB and brightness and contrast was adjusted, before you profilling it with the Spyder.
    If the problem still exists with this new profile and with images, which were processed by the above workflow and by the new conditions (make sure of that, the already processed images might be messed up) again let some one with an U2410 check the new profile.
    If its still have a huge red shift on another U2410, it might point to a hardware fault (either Monitor or Spyder)
    @MJOrts
    I notice that "Use Windows display calibration" is checked on in your
    screenshot. 
    AFAIK this setting means, that Windows is loading the LUT and not a third-party LUT-Loader, coming with the profiling device.
