I changed my MobileMe email account settings to iCloud settings,

My MobileMe mail wasn't accepting my password for the SMPT server, and I wasn't able to get or send any emails on my Mac (but it worked on my phone). I read online to change the Mail Account Settings by "subtracting" it off the account page, and "adding" the iCloud account.  Now all my email mailboxes, messages, EVERYTHING is GONE from my computer email.  But it's all still on my phone. How do I get it all basck to my Mac?

Set your auto check to 15 minutes and see it work correctly. If you want mail frequency less that that stop using pp mail and use IMAP and then only on servers that support Push mail.
A setting of 1 minute is simply not going to work and is really only available for those who are connected to their own on site server via a fibre cable.
Ultimately remember that email is not SMS or IM, It is email and it arrives when it does and most certainly not immediately.

  • HT1694 Changed password on email account, including in mail settings,and now can't send mail from iPad

    My email account account(msn.com) was hacked so I changed my passwod at msn.com and then als0 changed it on myiPad under settings/mail.
    Now I cannot send email or photos with email.
    Suggestions? I only have an iPad as I am traveling.
    I can send emails if I sign in through Safari.

    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • HT4859 My iCloud does not allow me to change my user email account. How can I change to a new email account and restore my iCloud?

    I was recently hacked so I had to change to another email account and now iCloud won't let me back up because it is still only allowing the old email acct to be the main one. How can I switch to a new email account for my iCloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

  • How do I change my iMessage from sending from my email instead of my number? I went into settings and where I'm suppose to change where I send and recieve from it doesn't say anything about changing to a number but changing to another email account.

    How do I change my iMessage from sending from my email instead of my number? I went into settings and where I'm suppose to change where I send and recieve from it doesn't say anything about changing to a number but changing to another email account.

    WHen you go into iMessage settings at the top it will say your email account you are using for iMessage, press that and it will give options. Press sign out and it will use your current phone number if you're using an iPhone, if you're using an iPod then it will turn iMessage off. P.S. it doesn't sign you out of your itunes account for iTunes and all that, just for iMessage

  • ICloud settings cannot verify my email account. How do I change to present email account so iCloud can verify?

  • Can I change the primary email associated with my icloud account

    Can I change my primary email address associated with iCloud? Not the icloud address but the one you log in with. I had to switch email addresses because my email got hacked and I just paid for 25g of memory in icloud. I just want to change my email address but keep the same account so I keep the storage space I just paid for, so I can't just delete the account and open a new one.

    You can if it isn't an @me.com, @mac.com or an @icloud.com address.  To do this go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change the address to the one you want to use and verify the address.  Then tap Edit next to the ID name and change it to be the same as your new address.
    Then you'll need to make this change on your devices.  To change it on your iOS devices, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the renamed ID.  To change it on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the renamed ID.  If you have a PC, do this on the iCloud control panel for Windows.

  • HT201342 How do you change passwords in email accounts??? Just got new iPhone and no record of previous passwords.....

    How do you change passwords in email accounts?? Have new iPhone and no record of previous passwords. Dumb I know but I'm in a real bind.....

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787.  (Your iCloud ID is also an Apple ID.)  If you don't have access to your old email account and can't use security question authentication to reset your password, you'll have to do one of the following to turn off Find My iPhone so you can chang the iCloud account on your phone:
    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then 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 and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was.  You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so.  You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • HT2534 How do I change my rescue email account?

    I would like to change my rescue email account.  I no longer use [email protected] How can I do this?
    Helen

    Sign in to manage apple ID
    Go to "Password and security"
    ---> at this point you may be able to change your rescue email address
    ---> you may need to answer security questions and THEN be able to
    Alt strategy --
    This is what I actually did when I needed to change my rescue email. However, it is clear that the above strategies would now work for me.
    I needed to change my rescue email b/c I wanted that email to be my primary email/appleID.  The rescue email and primary cannot be the same for some reason. When I needed to do it, I forgot the answer to one of my security questions so was forced to click "Send reset security info email to •••••@***.com." This sent an email to my rescue email address -- so if you cannot access your rescue, this alt strategy will not work.
    When I clicked the link sent, something went wrong and aple could not bring me to that page. However, when I looked back in the browser tab where I was managing my AppleID, the page/environment for "Password and security" changed. All that was there was something to click that said "Reset .....". This brought me to a page to change all 'password and security' related issues including my rescue email address.
    Summary of Alt:
    Sign in to manage apple ID
    Go to "Password and security"
    click "Send reset security info email to •••••@***.com."
    --> may have to go to rescue email address and follow instructions there and it may work
    --> could be you only have to renew the 'password and settings' page to see new option to click "Reset...."
    --------> This latter step was available to me after clicking link in rescue email

  • I had a MobileMe account before... after upgrading to iOS 5, should I keep my account info under iCloud (settings) AND under mail, contacts and calendars (in Settings as well) or only keep the info under the new iCloud setting section?

    I had a MobileMe account before... after upgrading to iOS 5, should I keep my account info under iCloud (settings) AND under mail, contacts and calendars (in Settings as well) or only keep the info under the new iCloud setting section?

    That's not the correct port. It should be 993 for incoming.
    If you signed into iCloud from the System Preferences, it should automatically create the iCloud account for you in Mail. Sounds like it is an account you already had set up for MMe in Mail.
    Open Mail preferences, open the Accounts tab, disable that account in the advanced pane.
    Open Sys Prefs, open the iCloud tab, and sign out of iCloud. Then sign back in and see if a new iCloud account is automatically created.

  • Migrating inactive MobileMe email account to iCloud

    I have a MobileMe email account that was inactive at the point I installed 10.7.2 and activated iCloud. I was hoping I'd be able to use the same @me.com email address I had with MobileMe with iCloud. However, when I used the MobileMe "move to iCloud" option (http://me.com/move I think), iCloud tells me I have to set up a me.com email address. When I try to use the address I had with MobileMe, iCloud tells me that address is already registered (it was, by me with MobileMe!) and I have to select another. Is there any way I can use my existing (although previously inactive) @me.com email address with iCloud?
