I am not able to get my email on my phone. Message is cannot connect to server. However I can open safari
I am getting the message 'not connected to server' when trying to retrieve my email. However I can open safari.
I've had the same issue for 6 months. I worked with Apple reps who fiddled with my iphone 5, Airport Express and Imac settings. NOTHING worked. Then today, I called Apple yet again and by accident found something no rep had mentioned: there's an option to snyc your phone to your wifi. How do you find it?
1. Connect your phone to your computer using the usb port (take off the electric plug on iphone cord).
2. Open up iTunes (you don't need to be connected to internet).
3. If you don't see a side bar with a menu, then hit View, Show sidebar. Now under "Devices" choose your iphone.
4. A large window with a menu of options appears. One box says "Sync with this iPhone over Wifi."
Check that box. WHY DID NO ONE EVER TELL ME TO DO THIS???
I saved that change, rebooted my computer, and for the first time since I've owned my phone, instead of telling me it's unable to join my home network, it actually let me put in my network password and hooked into Wifi.
Now, will this last? We'll see tomorrow. Let me know if this works for you!

lose wi fi signal at home, message says cannot connect with server. can access wi fi with laptops
but not with iphone5Your problem is completely different from the subject of this thread, which is about intermittent connections to ONE WiFi network, not all networks. As you have an iPhone 5 just take it to an Apple store and they will replace it under warranty if they can't resolve the problem.

I am not able to access the App Store on my Iphone 3GS with IOS 6.01, however i can access the same on my laptop when i connect my phone to my PC. Any suggestions on this.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5209 might help you. An iPhone 4 can airplay content from apps that support airplay and iTunes but it cannot mirror. If your game does not have airplay in the app you cannot mirror it to the apple TV so I don't know if you can play just the music. You should have no problem playing your iTunes over airplay though.
This may also help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4437

my phone keep asking me to sign in to iTunes store and will not allow me to download apps. it sends a message saying "Cannot connect to itunes store" what do i do?
Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections. -
Why am I unable to connect to server to check email? The message reads "cannot connect to server"
Many things could cause this, for example, the email server is down or cannot be reached due to an Internet problem.

Suddenly i cannot receive emails - cannot connect to server
cannot receive emails. message says cannot connect to server. have checked and everything looks okay.
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
If the issue persists...
Delete the Email Account and then Re-add it. -

I have an iPad and iPhone but am stuck with Tiger and Leopard on my old powerbook G4. Will I still be able to get my email on my PowerBook after I upgrade to iCloud? I don't have the cash to upgrade the mac right now. Just wondering what my email options are. Thank You.
You will be able to get your mail on the PowerBook. The calendars (iCal) will not sync; any events added to iPad and/or iPhone will not sync with the Mac but will sync with each other (that is: the mobile devices which are on iCloud). My MacBook Pro (Lion) and iPad2 (iOS5) sync fine; I still get my Mail on iBook G4, MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) and iMac (Snow Leopard).

My daughter has an iPod and FaceTime has stopped working as she is not able to verify her email address please can you help.
As long as you can't get a hold of the device, you can't do anything more than talking to your daughter about it.
Erasing the device could also be an option to keep her from using apps you don't want her to have on her device.
Try talking first
