HT4759 I have mobilme account with Apple that is now iCloud. My mac mail program has stopped downloading emails to my computer. I am running 10.5.8 operating system. Will this this work?
My mac mail program has stopped sending incoming mail downloads. Have spend many hours trying to figure this out..
It keeps asking for a password and won't accept the one I have. Why is the server not working? I am on 10.5 OS and
wondering if that is the problem? Having to pay $100 for an upgrade every year is a rip off....

10.6 is $29, 10.7 is $29, buy them both and you wont spend $100

I keep getting notified I have an update available but when I try to update I get the following msg ,"You have updates available for other accounts To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.". I only have one account with apple and the software was preinstalled when I purchased my macbook in Aug 2012 with that account. Has anyone had this problem or know how to find out what account apple needs?
You log into the App store using the same Apple ID you used to set the computer up, verify that none of your apps are hidden and that they have all be accepted and then download and install the update
for help contact the App store support - link is on the right ot the App store window

I have two accounts with itunes, my first one i had a ton of music i downloaded to and now i've lost my password to my yahoo account and its been long enough now they have deleted and recycled my email account, how can i get them back on my account i'm no
You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

I have two accounts with Apple -- what do I do?
My older account is based on an account ID that I created eons ago for iTunes purchases. All my apps, music, movies, etc were made through this ID, because I used it before I got my .mac account. We'll call this "ID#1"
When I got a .mac account, I established ID#2.
Now, with iCloud, how do I merge these two??? At this point, I'm vested in both e-mail addresses, but I also already have lots of content at .me through ID#2, but all my purchases are on ID#1. If I set my iOS devices to ID#2, will my music, videos, etc. stop playing??? (at least the ones that aren't iTunes Plus)??
Can merge both IDs into a single iCloud account?
I see others have this problem, and I don't see any answers for anyone else, either.I just found this article. Ouch!

I have 3 POP accounts set up on my MacBook Pro all witht eh same provider. No problem sending email. Then the main account suddenly does not receive any email. No error messages and I only worked this out when no emails ther ein the monring. Checking on webmail and on iPad I see lots of emails but then why is the MacBook not getting them. The other 2 accounts work perfectly OK.
No settings have been changed
A big puzzle!I found the problem.
I had a 21 MB email sent to me. Mac Mail obviously was unable to get it due to some form of time out (but no error messages) and since this one could not be downloaded it prevented everything else after it to be downloaded.
Surprisingly the iPad + iPhone showed the headers and thus allowed all other emails to be also displayed after it.
Deleting this big email from webmail cleared the way.

Mail program has stopped working
A few weeks ago I discovered I was unable to send pictures through the Mail program. Now I'm also unable to send text emails. The only thing I'm receiving is spam.
I contacted my ISP which is my phone comany and they say it's a Apple program problem.
Any help would sure be apprecaited!!
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)Welcome to the discussions, miltwho.
You are not giving potential helpers a lot of detail. What sort of email account - pop or imap? When you try to send email what happens? Is there an error message, and if so, what? -
Accidentally bought iTunes Match with Apple ID instead of iCloud/MobileMe e-mail.
I bought iTunes match with my Apple ID instead of my mobileme/iCloud account and now my iPhone 3GS won't let me use the itunes match because it says I need to have an iCloud account to use it, which I do, but it's not connected to my iTunes Match, my apple ID is.
My general question is why can you buy iTunes Match with an apple ID if you can't even use it on iDevices?
Is there any way for me to fix this problem?
Or did I just waste 25 dollars on something I will never be able to use on my iPhone?You did it right. Your iCloud account is not necessarily the same thing as your iTunes Account ID. Since you were able to successfully enable iTunes Match you used your iTunes account ID, which is the properly ID to use. To enable iTunes Match on your iPhone log into the iTunes Store using the same iTunes Store ID you used to enable iTM in the first place. Go to Settings > Store and enter the correct ID.

The company I work for has given me an iPhone, but I haven't been able to download any apps. I've created an apple ID account, it claimed that it had been verified, but everytime I go to download something, it verifies again and claims there's an error. I've tried this now with 3 different emails, and the message reads: go to the iTunes support page. I've emailed Apple, and they were extremely unhelpful. I was given the most vague responses by Bidyut from the iTunes Store Customer service team. I would just like to be able to use this phone since I'm paying for it.
It might be helpful if you told us exactly what the error was... If you don't give us specifics, the best you're going to get is vague responses.

I have an account for apple but this is not acceptable for i cloud. It say it is correct ID and password but this is not icloud account. So my phone can not connect with my computer and not synchronization too. Last a few months i have not use this phone. Just i start to use again.

Correct. That is only a feature of iOS 5 or later...

The apple store is so unhelpful. I have an iMac computer operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I want to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion operating system so I can work with the iCloud on my computer and download my emails. I can't seem to purchase this on-line as it keeps telling me to go to the app store. I haven't got the app store on my computer as I am told I need iCloud for which I need the new operating system, which I can't download or purchase as I am sent back to an instruction telling mee to go to the app store icon.
How difficult can it be to simply purchase the software on-line have it shipped to you so you can install it, in the event it cannot be downloaded as it appears it can't be based on my curent operating systems being Mac OSX 10.5.8.Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
Requirements for Mountain Lion:

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?
This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work. -
I had a purchase on my account that I believe downloaded automatically with my update or a restore thy I had to do with my iPad since my 6.0 version update. I notice I don't have to enter my apple I'd now for doing updates so I don't know if its the same with an app purchse. Can the $6.99 purchse be removed since it was not something authorizes with my pole I'd entrance?
I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes. I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format. However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there. I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC. I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.
Thanks for your help, Mel -
My girlfriend and I both have iTunes account with our own music libraries and we want to combine our two libraries into one icloude accounts so can both then access our one shared libary at anytime in the cloud. How do we do this?
No it is not possible. Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

I have two accounts with iTunes. Can they be merged or somehow combined so that I can have access to everything from both my old iPod Touch and my new iPhone5?
No.
You can authorize your computer for both accounts. Put all of the music on one computer. Sync your devices to that computer.
