HT4864 Tried HT4864 but it doesn't work with other mail clients

Migrated to iCloud and using iOS5.1 and Lion on main boxes but I also have older kit. https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864 indicates I should be able to use standard IMAP clients to access my email (e.g. older OSX, etc) but they all fail to connect and it keeps asking for password (which hasn't changed).
I tried a free iCloud account to pre-test issues and that worked right off with other clients (SL, L, etc) but now I can't use my MobileMe main account on anything other than the web or Lion/iPhone.
If HT4864 is incorrect then please update it or remove it ... very irritating.
Thanks
Neil

Hi
Yes thanks - this is the exact same link I was pointing to. This works perfectly if I create an icloud account from scratch. It doesn't work when I migrate a MobileMe account to iCloud. There is something about having a @mac.com account which became a @me.com and then migrate to icloud is then different. 
The @mac.com account does work OK in iCloud but I have not found any combination of parameters which lets me access the exact same account using Snow Leopard, Thunderbird or Entourage - they all compain about the password (same password works perfectly with iCloud, etc).
Something broken in Apple's migration scripts ....
Thanks
Neil

  • HT201304 I updated my ipad mini to ios7 and after that the restrictions have been turned on automatically. It was off before the update and I din do after either. I tried 1234 but it doesn't work. Please help me.

    1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
    2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
    Is your iPad working?

  • TS1253 I have a printer epson TX210, but it doesn't work with my time-capsule. What need to do?

    I have a printer epson TX210, but it doesn't work with my time-capsule. What need to do?

    What have you tried?
    You are going to get nowhere quick with the 6.1 utility in Mountain Lion if this is the only OS you have available.
    Look up how to install 5.6 utility under ML. At least then you can see printers. That is assuming you are trying to use USB.
    Has this worked ever on Mountain Lion? Did you download the drivers for that printer for ML?
    Plug it into a computer directly.. does it work? If it doesn't work locally it sure will not work via the network.

  • TS1702 How do I hide purchased apps with iOS 6? With iOS 5 you can swipe the unwanted app to hide it, but this doesn't work with iOS 6.

    How can I hide an app from the list of purchased apps using iOS6? With iOS 5 you can swipe the icon to display a red Hide icon, but this doesn't work with iOS 6. Suggestions (that work) will be appreciated.

    Yes. On a computer. Not ios6.
    On iTunes on your computer under purchased, select the x on the top corner. That will hide them.

  • What apple email program works with OSX 10.6.7?  I have Apple mail 4.4, but it doesn't work with OSX 10.6.7?

    What apple email program works with OSX 10.6.7?  I have Apple mail 4.4, but it doesn't work with OSX 10.6.7?

    The reason you're seeing this is that you have somehow gotten an outdated copy of Mail on your system.  One possible reason is that you moved Mail out of the Applications folder (or into a sub-folder inside the Applications folder), in the process preventing it from being updated.  You'll want to put Mail back directly in the Applications folder if this is the case.  The other possibility is that you have somehow installed, restored or copied an old copy of Mail on your machine.
    In either case, as long as Mail is in the right place, applying the combo updater will update Mail to the current version.  Software Update cannot do that because Software Update sees that you are using the current version of the OS and believes there is no need to update, while the combo updater "forces" installation of all updated files.

  • "Reply To Sender" doesn't work with Yahoo Mail. Works OK in IE, so the problem is with Firefox. Please fix this NOW!

    'Reply to Sender' only works with some emails. For example, with emails that appear to be identical except for the user name one will work OK with Reply To Sender and the next will not. For example, using Reply To Sender with [email protected] will work fine, but trying Reply To Sender with [email protected] doesn't work. I just get a blank email page with nothing on it. I have a laptop and a desktop and they both have the same problem. I've tried all of the suggestions for making changes in the various sections of the Tools Menu but nothing works. Email works fine in IE. I'm running Win7.

    First, I would try disabling any Add-ons like Adblock Plus, or NoScript.
    Second, possibly try disabling anti-virus
    Third, if that didn't do it, I would then Restart FF in Safe Mode, and see if that worked.
    Then, re-enable each individually, to see which is causing it.

  • "Tab" key doesn't work with e-mail

    Having to change from MSN.com In e-mail with MSN the tab key worked fine. When using Firefox to access my new e-mail accounts on q.com I can no longer use the tab key. Doesn't work. ZIP. Nadda. I often have to send e-mails that have columns of figures and the tab key makes it easy. Tab key doesnt work if acessing hotmail either from FireFox. Wokrs ok from MSN/hotmail. This makes me think the problem is FireFox.
    TIA

  • How do I go back to the last version in the 9 series? I need my Norton toolbar, but it doesn't work with FF10. I tried the forcing, but that doesn't work. All my logons are stored in Norton.

    Windows 7 ultimate edition, Dell Studio XPS PC.
    I used Norton utilities, and store all my logons and passwords int he identity safe. With Foxfire 10, my identity safe has disappeared. I tried the routine of forcing add-ons to work and it still doesn't.

    Norton generally releases an update within a few hours of a new Firefox version and they did so yesterday

  • HT1212 i tried recovering but it doesn't work

    my Iphone says that that its disabled connect to iTunes it was my uncles than he passed it on to me  but he forgot the pass-code so please help

    One of two alternate reasons may explain what's happening:
    1.  You may need to recover the iPhone.  Try recovery mode as described here ... but you may have to try more than once to succeed:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    2.  More likely, the iPhone is Activation Locked described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
    If that is the case, the iPhone will remain useless without the Apple ID and password of the original owner.

  • IP Communicator doesn't work with Cisco VPN Client

    Hi,
    Im having problem to connect  IP Communicator (either ver 2 or 7 )whenever using Cisco VPN Client 5.0.06.0160 for windows
    the IPC didn't register to the CUCM
    There's nothing showing on the screen
    but whenever im using  Anyconnect VPN Client, it works perfectly
    The remote side is using ASA5505
    Anyone can help ??
    Thanks

         It's probably an issue with the ASA configuration in your "group-policy attributes".  The "split-tunnel-network-list value" is pointing to an access list without the subnet for the call manager.  While your ssl group-policy for webvpn has a "split-tunnel network-list value" access-list which does contain the subnet for the call manager.
         The other issue could be that your using different ip pools for ipsec and ssl vpn.  The ip pool subnet that you might be giving out for ipsec might not be in your "no nat" acl.

  • My ctrl button doesn't work with other keys

    Hello: I am unable to use the ctrl+t (open new tab), ctrl+c or ctrl+v (copy/paste) among other ctrl commands while using firefox. I know that the ctrl key itself is not broken as I am able to use the ctrl+backspace and ctrl+forward (return to last page viewed) functions.
    Many of the help sites I've seen focus on uninstalling the ask.com toolbar. I uninstalled ask.com toolbar once, and the ctrl key started working again. The problem came back within a week, however, and ask.com is not a factor anymore as it has already been uninstalled. What else can I do to fix this problem? Any advice would be appreciated.
    I have already tried restarting firefox in safe mode, and this did not solve the problem.
    J

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Safari doesn't work with yahoo mail: always getting beach ball

    I recently encountered this problem in my new Mac BookPro. Itstarted my safari showing me the beach ball constantly in any web page (I always have the yahoo mail open in one tab). Now, since couples of days ago, every time I opened my yahoo e-mail after I click on the inbox the beach ball appears and never goes away. Even after I close the yahoo e-mail tab and I try to go back to any other web page tab I had open I get this message:
    "Web pages are not responding. To reload this webpage, all pages in other tabs and windows must also be force reloaded. Do you want to reload this page?
    Force reloading might cause you to loose information you have entered"
    The yahoo mail works perfectly on google chrome so is a safari problem. I have no idea what to do since this is my first Mac and I am not very knowledgeable about them. Any suggestions please?
    Thanks very much

    Could be a third party Safari add on causing the beachballs, troubleshooting help here >  Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
