I can not access my email accounts or icloud or messanger on my ipad

I can access the internet but i cant use email, icloud and messanger. The email accounts under setting and email is gray and i cant click on the accounts.

That looked helpful so I followed the Restore directions you sent me to. Now the trouble is that I've wiped all my data (having backed up first) and when I come to restore from my backup it again asks me for a password - which I haven't set.
I have definitely not lost any password - I keep all of them in an mSecure file vault. I have a record of a passcode for the phone itself but that does not work.
Is there any way i get get inside my iPhone Backup and find the mysterious password? None of the ones i use work!

  • After I updated to the new OS I can not access my GMail account????

    After I updated to the new OS I can not access my GMail account???? "The user name or password for GMail is incorrect"???

    Found this answer on another thread. It solved my problem:
    For those having gMail issues.
    Go here on your computer (or phone)
    https://www.google.com/accounts/UnlockCaptcha
    Unlock your account.
    They will block checking if you check too often from a variety of IP's. So jumping from Cell, to Wifi, to Cell, to another Wifi, etc a lot they will block remote checking and only allow web checking until unlocked.
    Can also happen if you have a computer setup to check at a high interval.

  • HT5312 I can not access my itunes account

    I can not access my itunes account

    Going on the page that you've posted from I assume that you've forgotten the answers to your security questions (?). If you have forgotten them and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • How can i access an email account on TB from a separate computer without deleting/modifying how the other account is setup

    I want to be able to access another email account that is set up as a POP account on TB, but I do not want to modify how the other email account is set up. My co-worker and I often need to access each others emails. Is it simply a matter of adding the email account on my computer as a POP, without moving his emails? Or would this require changing his account to IMAP? When i set up his TB account, I made it a POP so there are no messages on the server at the moment. What I don't want is for his emails to move from his computer to mine.
    (He's new to TB and that would drive him crazy - I already did that when I switched him from Outlook)
    Thank you

    ''Is it simply a matter of adding the email account on my computer as a POP''
    Yes. And make sure to check the option to leave messages on the server prior to accessing the account.
    Having said that, I think it is a very bad idea to share an account that way.
    Note that this will give you permanent access to your co-worker's account.
    In addition you're not only storing your own messages on your computer, but also all your co-worker's messages.
    The same is true for him if he does the same.

  • Can't access yahoo email account on my mac

    for the past month I haven't been able to access my yahoo email account via my ibook. I can access it from any computer accept for my mac. I've written yahoo and they sent me a six page document that's completely useless. I can log into my email account but I can't view the emails or compose a message.
    Please help!

    Are you trying to set up your Yahoo Mail account through the Mail application or login via the web? If you're trying to login via the web, try downloading and installing another browser and see if that lets you login.

  • I can't access my email account - I am not mobile so what is SMTP server?

    I can't send from my email account.  It is not mobile me and I don't know what the SMTP server should be help please?

    SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transport Protocol. It's used to sending email. This would be a server that your ISP or mail provider defines. POP or IMAP is usually the protocol used by your mail provided to receive email.

  • Can I access my email account on a second computer at a different address?

    The email account is used for a company which trades from my home address. Someone who lives at a different address will shortly need access to the email account as well. Is this possible?

    As you have not stated what type of mail account you are using - I've given info on both:
    '''POP mail accounts:'''
    by default POP mail accounts can only get access to the webmail Inbox and download from that Inbox to the pop mail account in Thunderbird.
    Usually, it downloads and deletes off the server, so if you want to create POP mail account for the new user, you would need to mke sure the settings are to 'leave messages on server' on both your computer and the new user.
    Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for pop mail account
    The main issue here is that the Inbox should not be used as a general store, so you create folders to store emails. Unfortunately, this would mean constant monitoring to make sure both computers actually were using the same folders, as the user can manually create folders, you could end up with emails stored differently on each computer.
    '''IMAP mail accounts:'''
    see a remote view of the folders on the server.
    So, you could enable IMAP forwarding via the webmail account and then in Thunderbird create IMAP mail account.
    If you currently have a POP mail account in Thunderbird on your computer, consider creating an IMAP mail account, which can be set up on both computers, then each can see folders on server.
    Move all emails from POP mail account into Local Folders first.
    When you are certain all Pop emails are stored in Local Folders:
    Then remove the POP mail account.
    Tools > Account Settings
    select pop mail account
    click on 'Account Actions'
    Select ' Remove account'
    click on OK
    Then create an IMAP mail account.
    Subscribe to see folders. Synchronise subscribed folders to get a copy of folders in your Profile folder.
    Make sure you create regular backups regardless of whether POP or IMAP mail account.
