Hi,
I just purchased an iPad 3 and it works great with most of my email accounts, but with an imap account from school it will download the content of the folders in the account, but doesn't download the messages in the inbox. I have deleted and created the account several times. I have checked the status of the account and it's active and works either from safari or from my Mac or iPhone. I have turned off both my Mac and my iPhone as not to have competing devices, I can even send emails from the account successfully. It simply won't download the content of the inbox. Help!
Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this! I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did. Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
The lesson learned, never assume - always double check! All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
Cheers

I have just purchased an Ipad, and now my husband is seriously thinking of also acquiring one. When we purchase books must we buy 2 of each title, or does Apple have a similar arrangement as the Amazon kindle?
If you use the one iTunes account between the two of you then you can both download the ibook onto your iPads - I have some of my ibooks on both my iPad and iPhone. If you decide to have separate iTunes accounts then if you use the same computer's iTunes to sync to (with both accounts authorised on it) then you should be able to sync the book to iBooks on both devices.
If you have separate accounts and sync to separate computers then you can copy the ibooks between the computers via, for example, a flash-drive and add it to the second computer's iTunes (File > Add To Library). There is a risk that if you sign into the second iPad (or computer) with a different iTunes account and re-download one of its past purchases that the iPad (or comptuer) will become tied to that account for 90 days, so copying it over manually would be better than re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 -
just got an Ipad and am working on setting it up. the one issue I am having with it is my screen will not rotate no matter what I do to the settings, I can't figure out if I have a setting wrong or if there really is something wrong with my Ipad. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Double click the home button (square) and all the things you did are there.keep sliding the bar that will come up on the bottom to the left till it cant go anymore there should be a icon looking like this.press that and it should work
Good luck hope it works. -

I just purchased an ipad2 and I can receive e-mails but I can't reply to or forward them. I also can't send a new e-mail. I receive a message that the e-mail has been placed in the outbox because the server won't allow 'relaying.' On my laptop, using the same e-mail server, I am fine. What can I do to make the ipad2 e-mail function properly?
Contact whoever manages your email server and ask them what ports and security to use for SMTP from remote locations. ISPs and email admins often require different SMTP settings when sending email when not connected to the server's or ISP's network.

I have an iPhone which I added my email address as my apple ID. I have just purchased an iPad which I add my other email address by mistake and now I am unable to stream my photographs. I have tried to change my email on both devises but with out luck as it won't reconise my pass word. Any ideas
Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Tap the ID and sign out. Then sign in with your other ID.
If this isn't working, restart the iPad - AFTER you sign out of the ID and then sign in with the correct ID after the iPad restarts.
There is no reason why you should not be able to sign in with the ID that you are using on the iPhone and use that passord with that ID on the iPad. -
I just bought a iPad and am trying to set it up. I have WiFi at my home but cannot get on with my iPad. My laptop asks for a pin number to join and the iPad asks for a password. I enter the correct password and it tells me that it is incorrect. I have talked to my WiFi carrier and they tell me that they do not know what it could be. Can someone please help me figure this out.
connectng with a pin # will not work with the ipad. you need to find out exactly what the actual wifi password is.
pin and push buttons are used by wifi protected setup. which is an optional feture of WPA
here are some ideas
go to the routers home page (typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254) and see if you can click on "show password"
get the manual out, it should have the default user name and password you may need to access the routers page
if your windows computer connects, then you should be able to right click the wifi connection and click on show password as well. this is somewhere in the properties page of the wifi connection
also with windows its a good idea to click on "save wifi connection to usb drive" this can be used to connect other windows computers and xbox game consoles as well
if your laptop computer is a mac book you can go to the keychain or icloud keycahin and reveal the actual passowrd as well.
look at the actual router it might have directions on a sticker on how to access the routers configuration pages
if you enter the wrong password on the ipad you need to forget the network and try again -

I saw your other post and responded. Did you set this passcode? Is your iPad company owned? -

Hi..
Which Mac OS X do you have installed now??
iCloud for your Mac requires you have Lion v10.7.2 installed > Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices
Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements before purchasing Lion.
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
Once you have installed Lion, the iCloud settings are located in System Preferences > iCloud.

Can I use an Apple gift card to buy IWORK for my new IMAC? We got a $100 card with our purchase of our IMAC.
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Type iWork in the search box and there they are.
You may also buy the iOS versions of the iWork apps in the iTunes App Store if you want to use them on an iOS device, such as the iPad. -
I'm new to Mac and IPad. I have Comcast mail on Mac and it works great my girlfriend has Yahoo email but is considering ICloud email when she sets up the iPad. Without technical jargon... In iCloud email a wise change? Thank you.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
That's really a question for you to answer yourself, changing an email address may not be the best of ideas if it's well known to others. On the other hand iCloud mail is an IMAP account (it syncs between devices) which may be an advantage if your current address is just a POP account.
I use my iCloud address for secondary mail in conjunction with my main address. -
How do I recover my password set up when I added AirPort Express to my iMmac a few years ago.. My wife has just purchased an iPad and it is asking for that "forgotten" password to make the Wi Fi connection ?
From the airport express user manual:
If You Forgot Your Network or AirPort Express Password
You can clear the AirPort network or AirPort Express password by resetting AirPort
Express.
To reset your password:
1 Use the end of a straightened paper clip to press and hold the reset button for one
second.
2 Select your AirPort network.
On a Macintosh computer:
=> Use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar to select the network created by AirPort
Express (the network name does not change).
3 Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a
Macintosh
4 Select your AirPort Express and click Configure.
5 In the dialog that appears, make the following changes:
 Reset the AirPort Express password.
 Turn on encryption to activate password protection for your AirPort network. If you
turn on encryption, enter a new password for your AirPort network.
6 Click OK.
AirPort Express restarts to load the new settings -
I just purchase an iMac and an HP LaserJet M1217nfw printer. I could not install with the installation disk that was furnished by HP. This is my first Mac product and I'm just not sure what I'm doing...help! I don't know if it's a mountain lion, a tiger, or a dog! The box says OS X. I really need help. Thanks for your time.
What Mac operating system are you running on your iMac?
Are you certain they're compatible?
Have you checked with HP to see if there's a newer driver?
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4 075472
In addition, I haven't loaded on any software with my last 3 printers. They just work without them, IMHO.
But a current driver would be necessary.
