Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages. This should also sign you out of iCloud.
Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
If that does not work
Skip the iCloud sign in
Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
Change your Apple ID to the old one
Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password

Entourage Receives But Won't Send Emails

My Entourage had been working perfect for about a year until 2 weeks ago when it stopped sending emails. I can receive emails but when I attempt to send them the following message comes up:
"An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too myuch net traffic. "
If that happened once I'd be understand, but I havent been able to send mail now for 2 weeks so I know its not the server. Can anyone help?

Hi Joel.
Couple of things.
1) Have you talked to your mail provider to make sure that you have your settings correct, still? Or have you triple checked your settings?
2) Any changes to firewall settings?
3) Did you add/change any other software on the day that mail stopped sending?
(Quit Entourage for the next steps)
4) Repair Permissions?
5) Do keychainAccess firstaid, or remove the password in Keychain for this server. Then restart the Mac. Then restart Entourage
Someone else might have some ideas

Able to receive but not to send emails

Purchased macbook pro, ipad & iphone at xmas ... experiencing ame problem with all of them.
I can received emails okay via mobile me, yahoo, gmail but 90+% of emails I send are not received by recipient and I get bounce back SMTP error messages. (I did manage to send emails to a couple of individuals who have AOL and BT internet accounts but others failed).
Have contacted Apple Support but so far no solution found by them .... I have seen numerous threads on internet with others who appear to have same issue but not sure if there are any fixes. The Apple support person indicated that many of the internet service providers seemed to be blocking the messages from getting through ... I have also read that this may be as a result of going through an intermediate (i.e. Apple Mail) ... although even when I try the old approach of sending direct from yahoo and gmail websites ... these are now failing as well.
I only started experiencing these problems after changing to apple products in recent weeks ... HELP!!

I suddenly had the same issue Saturday: my gmail was receiving but not sending. This was true whether via WiFi or 3G.
I troubleshot it with Apple. It happened whether my gmail account was set up as "gmail" in iPhone mail setup, or whether (as I had always had it) set up using Exchange (even though I don't connect through an Exchange server). We reset the network settings, that did not help. Then, we set up Apple Support's dummy Yahoo account. That worked fine. Then we used their dummy gmail account. That worked fine. So it seemed to be something at the level of my particular account.
I ran out of time to troubleshoot, and now, strangely, today it is working fine again. I am guessing something on the Google end but who knows. Or maybe some NSA program.

HELP! Emails in Mail are suddenly gone. How do I change this?

Hello -- Using Leopard 10.5.5 and Mail 3.5. Can I change it so that Mail does not automatically delete emails? In the Mail app on my iBook, the emails never go away (unless I delete them..) Yet on my G5 and my MacPro the emails get deleted after awhile. Thanks for any input.

What type of account is this -- is this your AOL IMAP account?
In Mail, there is no option to ever delete messages in the Inbox, so what you report does not fit any setting you would be able to change. However, AOL, by policy, removes messages from your Inbox folder after 27 days. To avoid this, the messages must be moved the Saved folder. This would not be different from earlier versions of Mail on other Macs, but perhaps the passage time has made a difference?
More Info, please.

I have forgotten my security questions and would like to reset them... My reset email is an old email and I no longer have it. How do I change this reset email? Someone plz help!

I have forgotten my security question answers and would like to reset them. My reset email I no longer have because I have gotten a new email. How do I change my reset email to my new email? Some one plz help!

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
Changing the rescue email address requires supplying two of the answers. They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I started sync on my laptop first, then on desktop, but want to reverse that so the info on my desktop goes to the laptop. How do I change this?

I mistakenly began by setting up a sync account with my laptop. When I connected my desktop, the tabs etc from my laptop added to those on my desktop, but not vice versa. I'd like my desktop tabs to add to the laptop... how can I make this happen?
Is the only way to set up a new account starting with my desktop and with a different e-mail address etc? If so, perhaps the system should be tweaked to make such changes easier?

Thanks Ibai!
The article you linked did not help... I can see the screen with the code in the boxes on my laptop, and the same screen with a different code in the boxes on the other computer, but I can't get an empty code box in either computer. Both offer me a code to transfer to the other, but neither will empty... so I cannot replace the code on either computer with the code from the other .
However... your second suggestion, that I pretend I don't have the other device with me, enter my account, password and sync key... then it all synced to the first computer. It seems an unwieldy/non-intuitive route to follow. Did I do something incorrect the first time?
But now... the next puzzle... the screen warns me... "Be sure to leave Firefox Sync connected so your data will automatically sync every day." but it doesn't suggest how I should leave it connected. As far as I know I didn't switch it off before, and I certainly don't know how to disconnect it.

In Camera Raw 8.4.1 I can open dngs from 3 years ago, but it's using the old interface and functionality not the current - how do I change this. Have rebuilt cache.

Running Creative Cloud on an HP with 18Gb Ram - I'm working on a project using 3 yr old dngs and when I open in my up to date Camera Raw it uses the old interface with 'contrast' towards the bottom and 'recovery' below 'exposure' - how do I get Camera Raw to open with the current interface?
Thanks for any help.
Craig

If you're referring to the Process version, you set that in the Camera Calibration tab of ACR.
Also keep in mind that any images with prior adjustments will show the Process used when they were adjusted. That can also be changed in that tab.

HT5312 my icloud has wrong email address so wont let me sign in ,how do i change this to correct one

icloud email log in is an old incorrect one but wont let me change it ,to do a restore

Christian,
You are seeing the result of Preferences>Type>Highlight Substituted Fonts
You must have at least one missing font, so there is something to sort out.
In other words, Illy is kindly trying to tell you that you are not looking at the font you think you are looking at. She is always very helpful.

I gave my old iPhone to my partner. We reset it and set up new e-mail accounts for her. But in Settings the iCloud account is still in my name . How do we change this?

I gave my partner my old 3GS. Everything worked well for a couple of years. Then a week ago she was not able to use her gmail and yahoo e-mail accounts. With the yahoo account she is being asked to give my ID and password. We have deleted and restored the accounts.
WHen I look at settings, it appears in ICloud that the phone is still registered in my name? How do we change this? In doing so will she lose all her information from the past two years?
We backed up the phone to a pc two days ago.
MY worry is that the backup has the incorrect information so we may get into a cycle of restoring it and not fixing the problem.
Regards

have you logged out with the old appleID in settings->itunes & app stores ?

I can receive AOL mail on my iPhone but I cannot send email.

I can receive email for my AOL account on my iPhone but I cannot send email from the iPhone. I can send email OK from a computer. I have AT&T service.

razmee209 (and others in this community)... HELP!
I have the same issue - I can receive email on my iPhone, but cannot send messages.   Keep getting error message: (Cannot Send Mail - The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]" is incorrect
This issue occurred when I changed my AOL password.   I also updated my password on my iPhone.   After exploring this issue more deeply, it appears that my iPhone did not update my password for outgoing mail (as that are more "dots" in the password field for my outgoing server account, than for the incoming server passward that was just updated.
I am unable to change ANY of the information or settings in any of the outgoing mail server accounts - except only to toggle each account ON or OFF.   All other information is "greyed" out, and unavailable and inaccessible.
I know that if I could just change (or somehow sync) the outgoing password to match the new incoming password.
PLEASE HELP!!

TS3276 I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone

I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?

Thank you for heading me in the right direction. I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information). I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)?? In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port: 465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer." Authentication: Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in. After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there.
What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message: "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.). The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587. Verify your account settings and try again." That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails. I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me. Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input! Much appreciated!
