HT201320 When I set up my aol account on my iPhone 5, I get the message that I cannot get mail because my user name or password for aol is incorrect.

I just upgraded to iPhone 5 and every time I try to.add my aol email account, I get the message that my username or password is incorrect so I can't get mail. Does anyone know how to fix this?

How do I stop the message "user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2 times in a row when i try to get mail from other accounts? thank you in advance

How do I stop the message "Cannot get mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2-4 times consecutively every time I choose MAIL on my iPhone 4, 7.1.1 I have to select "OK" 2-4 times each time before I can read other email accounts. I used to have an "@me.com" account which I think was automatically changed to an "@icloud.com account." I opened a new iCloud.com account yesterday because I could not figure out how to get in the old ones. I want to delete the original @me & original iCloud account. When I try to delete the account, they tell me my DOB is wrong. I just want those pop ups to stop. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Suzanne,
It sounds like you’re running into a password issue with an older Apple ID that’s setup on your iPhone, which is preventing you from removing an iCloud account from your device. Take a look at the article linked below, it outlines all of the possible ways to change an Apple ID password.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
After you enter your Apple ID, there are three ways you can change your password:
Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
So long,
-Jason

I am trying to set up my daughter's iTouch. I am connected to our Wi-Fi, and have confirmed this in Settings, but when we try and open any webpage we receive the message that page cannot be opened because not connected to the Internet. I have already re-set the iPod, have shut-down and restarted, and told the iPod to "Forget Network". please help - i am going bananas!

Encryption wouldn't matter except for Wifi.
While 10.2 might help, there's not much you can do on the Internet these days with less than 10.4.11

My icloud account keeps telling me that my user name or password for icloud is incorrect but it works for downloading apps etc and joining this forum

my icloud account keeps telling me that my user name or password for icloud is incorrect but it works for downloading apps etc and joining this forum

Accessing the itunes store and joining this forum are different accounts than an icloud account, so it's not necessarily true that your ID for icloud is the same as for itunes.
Did you set up an icloud account?
To create a new icloud account, go to

TS3899 When i check my email I get the message "Cannot Get Mail. The user name or password for "Gmail" is incorrect". The user name and password are definiately correct, I can log on through safari. This worked fine this morning!

My gmail account has stopped working on my iphone, saying the user name or password is incorrect, but both are definitely correct. I have tried restarting the phone, deleting the account and setting it up again, and checked that I can log on through safari. It had been working fine until this morning! Any ideas how to fix this?

Turn off 2 step authentication on your gmail account in a browser. It should work fine afterwards.

IPhone4 when replying or forwarding mail messages i get a message that says Cannot Send Mail address rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying

When forwarding mail this is what i get
Cannot Send Mail
A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipent _________________(email address) was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying.
Never had this problem before so not sure whats going on. Appreciate any help out there.

Sounds like there is something wrong with your SMTP server. Try going into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select the email account in question, go to the Outgoing server (SMTP) and check the settings. It may be you do not have a username and password in one of the areas. The phone may say optional in a couple, but it is usually mandatory. You can also try a reset on the device, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If neither of these work, then you will need to delete the account, then delete the SMTP server, then add the account back, ensuring you use your username and password everywhere, even when it says optional.
