I can't update my email.

I am connected to my wifi and as i check my email a box appears that says "Cannot Get Mail The connection to the server failed." and i haven't been able to update my email since 1/25/14, how can i change it? I can only check my email through the Yahoo app.

First try resetting the Yahoo password and the going to Settings>Mail>Yahoo and updating the password there. Yahoo not infrequently has that problem
Delete the account from the Mail app and reenter the settings

How can I update my email address on iCloud

How can I update my Apple ID email in iCloud?

I'm not sure I understand your question. What is it that you are trying to change?

Can't update Itunes email because it had once been used by other account

Hello,
How might I go about "freeing" my former Itunes email, so my wife can use it for her account?
In the last year I've updated my Itunes account from our family email account to a new email address. That change worked fine.
My wife would now like to use my former email address for her Itunes account. It is a valid address, but the Itunes store won't allow her to use it because it says it's in use by another user or account. Since I was the former user of that account and have since updated, I don't understand why she can't use it.
We still use it for our family email account.
Thank you.

Hi Brian...
No guarantees, but try deleting the cache and cookies associated with the App Store.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
Deleting cookies may also help.
Go to ~/Library/Cookies. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
See if you can update Twitter.
You can report this incident to Apple > Apple - Support - Mac App Store - Contact Support

How can I updated my email on these forums?

I must have originally made my account under my parent's email before I had ordered my computer some many years ago. Now, when I post, it turns out that they're getting the emails and forwarding them to me. I went in to try to change the email and I can't. Does anyone know how I can correct this? Thanks.

Already found the answer. The little box on the side popped up as soon as I posted this. Thanks anyhoo.

Can I update an email address on my icloud account

My current Icloud (apple ID) is being used by my child for their ipod touch with my email address. I now have a new Iphone for both her and for my wife. I think they each need their own icloud (apple id)!?! So, can I change the existing icloud (apple id) to my childs email address and set her phone up to sync with it allowing my wife to use the existing icloud (apple id) with her new phone?
If so, are those Icloud (apple ID) then set up on the phones under settings...Icloud...Icloud account information area?
It may be obvious that I am a new "I" device user!
I failed to mention that I'd need to set up a new Icloud (apple ID) for my child.

Ok. First, you don't have to use the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores as you do for other services such as iCloud, iMessage, etc. Everyone can still share the existing ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores without creating any issues. This will prevent any issues relating to accessing your purchased music. They should, however, use separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs for iCloud, as well as iMessage and FaceTime.
You will first want to migrate your daughter to her own iCloud account with her own ID (again, she can keep the existing ID for purchasing). To do this, assuming she already has data in the existing iCloud account, she will want to set up the existing account on her phone to download the data from iCloud. This can be done during the setup process if her phone is not set up yet. After doing this, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from her device, not from iCloud.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, choose Keep on My iPhone. Then set up a new iCloud account on her phone with a new ID. If she doesn't have one, tap Get Free Apple ID at the bottom to create one. After setting up the new account, she can turn on iCloud data syncing, and when prompted, choose Merge to upload the data on her phone to the new account. After confirming that her data migrated to the new account successfully you can now set up your wife's phone.
If the existing iCloud account contains your daughter's data, you will probably want to go to icloud.com on your computer and manually delete it before setting this account up on your wife's phone. If you don't, when she syncs with the account, her data will be merged with the existing data from your daughter and you'll still have to manually remove the daughter's data from the account. Be sure your daughter's data is in her own account before deleting it from the original account or it will be lost.
Once the original iCloud account is free of your daughter's data, you can set up this account on your wife's phone, turn on iCloud data syncing, and when prompted, choose Merge to upload your wife's data to the original account.
Finally, to avoid getting each other's text messages or FaceTime calls, everyone should also have separate IDs for these services. If they don't, for iMessage go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sigh back in with a separate ID. For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

Can I update my email address on Support Communities?

When I go in to edit my profile, it shows my email address and says (required) next to it. But how do I go about changing the email address that is used for the Apple Support Communities?
Thank you!

a quick Q... did this "department" indicate what was happening that prevented the normal editing of your primary email address? aberration? just you? the guy's having to check around with colleagues seems to indicate it is not common. Could it be that 'communityaccounts' would be expecting YOUR email as a one time workaround?
We might wanna refrain from suggesting emailing them as a pat solution and stick with the process that you followed?
best regards

I changed my AppleID a long time ago to an email that I no longer use and I have updates for apps that I can't update because my old email is filled in to where i sign in and it wont let me change it to my new one???

I changed my AppleID a long time ago to an email that I no longer use and I have updates for apps that I can't update because my old email is filled in to where i sign in and it wont let me change it to my new one???

The problem with those two apps is that they are supposed to be in your Apple ID and you didn't set up the Mac properly/completely when you got it.
You might try deleteing them and using OS X Recovery to install them again.
OS X Recovery -
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
After that, before you open any iLife apps go to your Mac App Store account, to the Purchased pane and Accept them into your account.

I can't update any of my apps. I have an old email address that I forgot the password to. I set up a new apple idea (I do know the password to this one), but every time I try to update my apps, it brings me back to my old email.

I've tried many times to get rid of my old iTunes account. I have made a new Apple ID and I do remember the password. My 2 main problems are, i can't update ANY of my apps (and I have 53 to update now), and I can't get rid of my old old email that I forgot the password to. Every time I try to reset the account and start a new iTunes account, it will ask me for my new email. I've tried multiple times to change it, bbut every time i do, it asks me to put a password when for my old email that I forgot the password to reset the account.

Once you purchase or download an app it will always be associated with the Apple ID used to download it. When that app requires and update you must use the Apple ID and password used to download it in the first place. The only way around this is to delete the apps the require the old Apple ID and download or purchase them again with the new Apple ID.

I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

TS3276 after 10.6.8 update I can no longer receive email

I can no longer receive email after 10.6.8 update. I also just moved to iCloud. Can anyone help me?

What changed, before you could no longer save image attachments to iPhoto?
Did you install new software or upgrade to newer versions? Which version of iPhoto are you using?
The "Save to iPhoto" feature has been missing for some iPhoto versions. I do not remember exactly when it vanished, but it is back with iPhoto 9,6 and MacOS X 10.10.2.
As a work-around - you can drag photo attacuments from your mail to the iPhoto icon in the Dock to save them to iPhoto.

HT1430 after updating my iphone, I can no longer receive emails, tried the above and it didn't work, any suggestions

after updating my iphone 4s to ios6 I can no longer recieve emails, any suggestions

Thanks, Let me explain that I am pretty much computer illiterate. Do I call Comcast to delete or do it on the ipad or my laptop?

After my OS update I can no longer open email attachments. What could be the issue??

After my latest OS update I can no longer open email attachments. What might be in the issue??

Quit Mail and restart.
Select each of your mailboxes and select Rebuild under the Mailboxes menu.
If those don't help, then reinstall Yosemite:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

After updating my iPHone 3G to the latest operating system (5.0.1 (9A405) I can no longer send emails using. I keep getting an error message it doesn't recognize the server?

After updating my operating system to 5.0.1 I can no longer send messages on my Road Runner email account even after modifying the outbound server for their mobile one. Opening Mail shows its trying to send but than I'm told the server wasn't recognized and the emails are in a temporary outbox. I can receive no problem on both Road Runner and Yahoo Mailboxes but can only send on Yahoo. Problem is that 95% of my emails come into Road Runner. Anybody find a solution to this?

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan
