I am trying to update my primary e mail address and apple id to the same new address as suggested by Apple. I find that I cannot make that update. It updates the primary e mail but not the apple id.

I am trying to update my account e mail address. I find that I can update the primary e mail but not the apple id. This is something that apple suggest is the same address but the update procedure does not seem to work as suggested. Any ideas?

    Out of the blue today, my gmail will not send.  I recently upgraded to Mavericks. But I have not had problems until today.  I can receive mail but not send. Any easy suggestions of what to do?

    I have been having the exact same problem for weeks now with gmail.  None of my computers will send Gmail (they will recieve) and my Maverick computers (10.9.1) show gmail smtp.gmail.com as "offline".  I had installed Post Box and apple support thought it was that i had too many accounts (I have 2 ipads, an iphone (latest iOs), a work and home iMac and a powerbook).  I disabled all my gmail accounts in Mail and still no go from PostBox either . I tried connection doctor and it just spins for outgoing and say I either haveve the wrong pw or login - I dont.  I terminaled and tested port 465 (according to gmail instructions) and it works (port 25 did not).  I can access gmail from the webmail and send/recieve mail from it and it shows up in my webmail outbox. It is configured for imap.I just cannot send mail at all from any gmail account from any apple device using Mail (or PostBox). I am at a loss as was the apple support person who wished me good luck very politely and sympathetically.

  • I can't update my apps. I touch the "Update All" button; it asks me for my Apple ID password but after I enter it nothing happens. I tried to update apps one by one but same problem continues.

    The app that does not want to update was it originally downlaoded with a different ID?  If so use that ID and hte password you set for it to update the app

  • HT1926 I tried to update iTunes in Windows 7, but the program said not enough permission to start services.

    I tried to update iTunes in Windows 7, but the program said not enough permission to start services. I tried to reinstall iTunes, but the same message showed up. Do I need to uninstall Apple Mobile Service. I tried but I couldn't uninstall it. What should I do?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or by right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

  • On my iPad I can see in mail only the headlines of the mails but not the text - why?

    On my iPad I can see in mail only the headlines of the mails but not the text - why?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if the text shows when you re-open the Mail app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot

  • I'm trying to update to 4.3.4 but its giving me "iphone could not be updated this device isn't eligible for the requested build" . . . i dont know what going on . . anyone ?

    SOLUTION FOR ALL.
    This works. Thanks. The best way to do this is through the terminal. Just do the following commands in terminal:
    Type sudo su
    Press enter
    Then enter your password and hit enter
    Type vi /etc/hosts
    Move your cursor with the down arrow to the line that has gs.apple.com without a # at the beginning of the line.
    Move cursor to the beginning of that line.
    Type i# then press the esc key.
    Type :wq
    Press enter
    Type exit
    Press enter
    Now you can quit out of the terminal application. This likely is a problem caused by Tiny Umbrella denying itunes communicating with the apple servers.

  • I was trying to update my newphews iPod touch but for 20 hours now it is still just showing the apple logo

    I was trying to update my nephews iPod touch but for some 20 hours now all I am seeing is the apple logo.

    Terminate the update.
    Reboot the computer
    Restore via Itunes.
    If necssary:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I have an iPhone with iOS 7.1.1 and am trying to update to 7.1.2, but get an error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"

    Assuming you are using the current version of iTunes (11,2,2), open iTunes, click "Preferences" under the leftmost entry on iTunes' menu, then choose "Devices".
    Find the iPhone's backup there, highlight it, and choose "Delete Backup".

    My printer receives and prints my e mail but not the attachments. How do I rectify this?

    Hi robgpearce,
    Your issue could be related to the file type or a setting with the file. In the help section of ePrintCenter.com, it goes into details on how the HP ePrint service does not support printing webpages via email at this time, HP is currently developing dedicated solutions to support webpage printing from mobile devices. Image files (like jpeg, bmp, tiff, etc) need to be at least 100DPI in order to print via ePrint. PGP encryption, digitally signed documents, macro-enabled spreadsheets and password-protected documents are not supported by ePrint at this time and will not print.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
