    When i try to connect to my yahoo email via the Mail thingy, it will say "user name or password for apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect even though my yahoo password and user name is correct.
    This is copied from your first post. Am I reading this wrong? Aren't you saying that you are getting a message that the username and password are incorrect? That's why I asked another the word apple in the name. I don't use Yahoo mail that may in fact be correct but I'm just checking,
    IF you are getting a message that the username and password are incorrect.....
    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.

  • I have the latest itune but i am unable to update my phone or my ipad 2 i have been in to the shop and they said i need to download a diffrent type of itunes for wifi can you please help

    I have the latest iTunes but am unable to update my phone or my ipad 2 I have been in to the shop and they said I need to download a different type of iTunes for wifi I have a desk top with windows vista and wifi can you please help

    We'll need more information before anyone can be of much help. What model iPhone is it, what versions of iOS are running on the iPad 2 now, what exactly are you trying to update, and what version of iTunes are you running? And what exactly is going wrong (include error messages if any).
    Once we have that information, someone here can probably offer advice. Note that you cannot sync content or upgrade iOS wirelessly until you get your iPhone and iPad up to iOS 5 and that requires that you connect those devices to your computer via the Dock-USB cable.
    Regards.

  • I have just updated to iOS7, no icon for browser, was using Safari, how do I get it back and can I reverse the upgrade and go back to iOS6?

    I have just updated to iOS7, no icon for browser, was using Safari, how do I get it back and can I reverse the upgrade and go back to iOS6?  Thanks to you from the UnTechie

    The icon for Safari has probably moved to make room for new apps. Scroll the Home screen to look for it.
    You cannot reverse the upgrade.

    Hi annarepublic78,
    As per the above mentioned error, your Win CS6 download was not complete, either it was in process or was interrupted. This is the only reason you see the MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.7z.crdownload. Here .crdownload means the download is in process.
    Please try to download it again on the Desktop and please make sure that the download completes successfully(without the .crdownload extension).

  • I've reinstalled my MacBook Pro (OSX Lion) using a different apple ID, and now I can't install any iLife apps. In the app store it comes up with "Accept" and then tells me It can't accept from my user ID. How can I fix this or get iLife back?

    Mostly explained in the title. My dad gave me his MacBook, and I went ahead and wiped all of his stuff by using the recovery partition to wipe/reinstall OSX Lion. In the setup I used a new apple ID and now I can't get iLife apps. I'm relatively new to how apple works its purchases, so I'm not sure what's up. Is it that my computer has a unique ID set to the first apple ID used on it, and if so, how can I get this reset to my ID? I'm planning to get an iPhone 5 soon so I'd like to be able to use photo stream with iPhoto and try out Guitar Band.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    PS: I couldn't find a correct catagory, so I hope this is close enough. If not please tell me where I should be posting this.

  • Hi I am in south Africa and wifi is very restricted so I have a 3G card with 5gig cap but when I want to download applications for iPad larger than 20meg it says I must use wifi is there a setting I can change to increase the cap on 3G downloads

    Hi I am from south Africa  and wi fi is very restricted so I have a 3G  card in my iPad and it has a 5 Gig capacity, however when I want to download applications bigger than 20meg it asks for a wifi connection.Is there a setting I can change so to allow a higher capacity 3G downloads?

    The R201 MiFi is really nifty. It's the size of a credit card, and a bit thicker. Costs just over R1200 and can connect up to 5 devices. It charges via USB or via the iPad adapter and will give about 3 hours use on a charge. I actually feel that with a MiFi, you don't need any 3G on the iPad.

  • I have a 2nd generation iPod....I have switch on the OFF position and it will periodically turn on (thus draining the battery) by itself.  How can I fix this?

    I have a 2nd generation iPod shuffle.  Recently, after I turn switch to OFF position, it will turn on (green light flicks on) by itself periodically and obviously battery gets drained.  How can I fix this?

    I don't know of a way to fix an issue with the switch, if it's a hardware issue.  You can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes, to see if there's some software glitch.
    However, I often leave my shuffle with the power swtich in the ON position.  When you are not playing music, the shuffle goes into a "sleep" mode after about a minute.  You'll notice that you need to press the Play button twice to get it to play again; the first press wakes it up.  In my day-to-day experience, I don't notice any difference in battery life between the shuffle being OFF and ON (and not playing), even if I leave it ON overnight.  And keeping it ON avoids needing to constantly move the tiny swtich, and saves it from wear and tear.
    So, you might try just keeping the power swtich in the ON position, and pausing playback to "turn it OFF."

  • Repeatedly firefox will not start after clicking on it in the start menu. I have to download firefox again which takes hours. How can I fix this?

    After the PC boots up I click on the firefox icon in the start menu, the hour glass appears but then goes out and nothing happens. I have to re install firefox using safari (which opens) and took 4 hours.

    Hello kkhelp, can you open firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#os=winxp&browser=fx24 safe mode] by holding down the shift key while starting Firefox. ? (DON'T Reset firefox, select Start in Safe Mode).

  • Can I download firefox for windows with my phone

    I lost all of my web browsers that were on my laptop. I would like to know if I could download firefox using my phone, then using my microsd card to load the app into my computer. Have already reset laptop using system restore, but my browser doesn't work. Something is missing in the .exe program. Can you help?

  • I have a mac osx 10.4 and all the new versions of fire fox are not compatible with my computer, how can upgarade so I can get to my gmail account, etc?

    I can't access my email on firefox , it states that I am using an old version of firefox that is no longer compatible with gmail, however when I try to upgrade to a newer version I get a window that says that my computer is not compatible with the new version. Is there one that is??

    Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6 (Firefox 16 runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5).
    *http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/25.0/system-requirements/
    For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.10 ESR compatible version that runs on a PowerPC Mac with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at TenFourFox.

  • I have a mac osx with versiom 10.5.8 how do i get the latest software

    i recently got a iphone 5 and itunes cant recognize it because my itunes needs to be updated and i cant update my itunes because my computer isnt updated . what steps do i need to do to get it up to date?

    You will need to purchase a retail copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, still available from the online Apple Store, and upgrade your iMac to at least the version. You will then be able to run iTunes 11, necessary to sync to a phone that's running iOS 7. Whether you can and wish to further upgrade to OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion will depend on your specific model of iMac and your needs and preferences. System requirements for Snow Leopard and  Lion can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949
    and for Mountain Lion here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
    If you do consider upgrading beyond Snow Leopard, be aware that Lion and later OS X versions will no longer run PowerPC-only applications, so some of your current applications may need to be upgraded or replaced.

  • I have Windows XP 64 and when the 6.0 firefox was loaded.. I can't seem to be able to watch Netflix.. I call Netflix and they said I needed to put firefox back in 32 bit.. how do I do that?

    when you guys sent 6.0 firefox and it updated on my computer. you automatically caused my computer to go back to 64 -bit .. I have XP 64 Windows and yet I ran everything in 32 bit.. I had to open Internet Explorer to watch Netflix.. I prefer FireFox though.. can you help in instructing how to fix this problem so I can watch netflix in 32 bit again?

  • I have a brand new iPad 2 and it is not being "seen" by iTunes for Windows (64 bit Win 7)

    I originally had my iTunes library (music, apps, etc) on a MacBook.  Used "home sharing" to drag over most of my collection to my new Windows 7 laptop.  All apps, music, etc show up fine in iTunes on Windows but when I unpacked my new iPad 2 and plugged the apple cable into the USB port on my Windows laptop and the other end in my iPad 2, no synching occured nor did the iPad 2 show up on the left-hand list on iTunes. 
    Any idea what might be wrong?  I did already try different USB ports.  Each time I plug and unplug I get the audible notification from my laptop that the cable is disconnected and/or connected.  so it's not a hardware issue. 

    A Couple of questions..
    Is the location shown under preferences/Advanced/General still showing the correct location?
    Is the check boxes under this checked or unchecked?

  • When I try to download Firefox for Windows, it unzips the file and says it cannot find 7-Zip file and stops download

    I have windows 7 on a desktop. I had firefox before which worked fine then I attached a router to my computer that may have been defective and may have damaged the computer. I took the router off. Firefox suddenly reverted back to the start up page of when you are new to firefox, e.g. here's how it works, and stopped loading my normal home page. Even though I entered the tabs I wanted for my startup home page every time I shut down my computer it went back to the beginning thinking I had only just loaded it. I did lots of system diagnostics but nothing appeared to be wrong with my computer so I uninstalled Firefox, restarted, then downloaded it again. When I download it, it says run or save and I choose run. Then it extracts the file and a message comes up that says "7-Zip. Cannot find file. Then nothing more happens. No files are downloaded to my computer and it's as though I never tried to download it.

    SAVE the installer to your hard drive (do not use the "Run" option); save it to your Desktop so that you can find it. When the download is complete, close whatever browser you have open, click or double-click the file you downloaded and see if it installs without a problem.
    The downloader is a self-extracting archive and should not need or use 7-zip. I have 7-zip installed on my system and it does not interfere with nor is it used in the Firefox install process. Hopefully, you have not set the downloading of .exe files to be associated with 7-zip.
