HT4519 I have a yahoo email account and i keep getting an "error connection to the server failed"

The email account i have always used on my ipad mini is through yahoo. Now i keep getting an error "connection to the server failed" when trying to access my email.

its a common message but could be due to several possible causes
try this
close the mail app by double tapping the home button, swipe the screen until you see the large icon of the mail app. Swipe the app up and off the screen to close. Tap the home button to return to home screen. Open mail app again.
if that didn't work, then...
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
Unplug your wifi router for 5-10 minutes and at the same time reset settings on the ipad
settings/general/reset/reset all settings
(no data will be lost)

I am trying to update my Itunes software on a Windows XP system and keep getting an error message saying the update can't locate "itunes.msi" where is that file located?

The servers are getting slammed by millions of people wanting to upgrade.. just give it some time, and soon enough you'll have your upgrade.

HT201413 i have tried resetting my iphone 4 but keep getting an error code at the end (34)

I'm not certain thats the problem. I stopped antivirus, I set screensaver to NOT trigger and yet it took me FOUR DAYS to completely sync my ipod touch. Stupid me decided to try it with the iPad and guess what...it's been three days and STILL timing out.
I don't think Steve Jobs died; I think they upgraded him to iOS5, he crashed and they could not restore him.
THIS UPGRADE *****. They rushed it out the door to get the fancy-dancy voice command thing on the iphones and yet that feature does not help ipod or ipad users.

How can I set up my Mac Pro so that my wife and I can use our separate iTunes accounts? I keep getting an error message that the computer is already associated with an Apple ID even though the two accounts are associated with separate log ins!

I'm getting very confused with setting up multiple user accounts on my Mac Pro for my wife and I. We each have a separate iTunes account, and we want to keep our music libraries seaprate. I've set up two user accounts on the Mac Pro and I have my iTunes authorised and logged into my user account on my user account. Under my wifes user account (i.e. a separate log in on the computer) I'm trying to set up her iTunes account, but I can't download or play anything from the cloud - it just says "This computer is already associated with another iTunes Account" and tells me that if I 'transfer' then I won't be able to use the other one for 90 days! This is really annoying as my wife can't access music she has purchased on her iTunes account on the home machine. We're not trying to do anything dodgy, just access our music on our own accounts on separate log ins on the same machine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

If I send a BCC email to my address I get ar error message stating the server does not allow relaying.

I set up my eail account so I BCC a copy of the email to my desk top. When I send an email from my IPhone I get a message stating that the recpient was rejected because the server does not allow relaying. I can send the same email, BCC myself from my desktop with no problem.

Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your Account > Account Name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and enter your email account and password and see if things work.

I already have a creative cloud account and I keep getting window asking to use trial version of 2014 programs.

The other day I received a notice that there was an update for creative cloud to correct this. After updating that it still is giving me the same issue. Why isn't the 2014 programs just and upgrade for the existing CC programs?

I just bought a new I mac but when I try to go on facebook through Safari the webpage does not open and instead I get : safari cannot connect to the server (Safari no puede conectarse al servitor). How can I solve this problem? Please help. Thank you

Please help

It might have something to do with Proxies. Have a look in System Preferences>Network, click on your network - either ethernet or wifi - and click on the Proxies tab. Anything selected in there. If so deselect and then try.
Have you tried using another brrowser, maybe Chrome or Firefox?

My rocketmail account will sometimes work and sometimes not.
This has been happening for a month or so? I have tried deleting the account and reloading it on, when I do that it works fine for a while then will error (connection to the server failed).
I can send emails fine, the issue seems to be trying to recieve? I have not changed any settings and it had been working fine for a nearly a year now!
Any help would be mauch appriciated and given a small round of applause.
Jay

Yahoo mail servers are famous for failing regularly. If it works at times and doesn't and settings have not been changed, I would guess it is because of this.

TS3899 I have a yahoo email account setup on my iPad & iPhone. The new mail is never marked as unread when downloaded to my iPad or iPhone. Is there anyway to fix this?

Hey there Fabian,
If I understand correctly you are going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Add Account but that last option is not usable because it is gray. In testing this for you, I was able to reproduce this by enabling Restrictions and denying Account Changes. You can configure that with this article:
About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How do I go back a page on the Ipad mini? I do not see any arrows anywhere. Also when I go to my yahoo email account and open an email I can not find how to go back and log out. This is our first Ipad and it is very different frm android. Thanks

We just purchased our first Ipad. It is a mini with retina display 16 GB. How do I go back a page? I see no arrows to page back. Also when I log into a yahoo email account and open an email I see now way to log out? Thank you for any help

In Safari, (the web browser), there are specific arrows to go back and forward through website pages.
In other Apps, it will depend on how the App is built.
As to Yahoo Mai it depends on where you are viewing the email. If you are using the Mail App, then you don't log out. The Mail accounts in the Mail App are always there.
If you are using the Yahoo App, You can Tap on the folder at the top, then on your account/name, and then on Sign Out.
