There is probably 2-step authentication set.

  • My wife is trying to add her work email to the iphone...need help!

    My wife is having trouble setting up her work email.  We get to the screen that requires a username and host name.  We are not sure what to enter for the host name?  I believe username and password should just be her login name and password?  She uses simplehelix as the host.  Thanks!

  • After trying to download the iOS 6 update, my phone keeps saying "searching...", and that means it is not trying to activate??

    I have hooked it up to iTunes like the tech from AppleCare told me, we backed up the contacts, and tried to restore it to factory settings. It is still doing the "searching...." at the top of the screen. The tech told me to turn it off for an hour and he would call back but he thinks I need to go into an Apple store, and the closest one is an hour away. Not to mention, it is going to be crazy busy with 5 just coming out. If anyone has any information for me, I would really appreciate it, I am frustrated to say the least right now!

    Sorry, yes iTunes on your computer.
    When I updated my iPad 3 and iPod Touch 4th generation to iOS 6 a few months back, I was able to update the iPad effortlessly over WiFi. but I kept getting error messages when trying to update the iPod over WiFi, so I used iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
    Connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update
    If you are using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar at the top - so the sidebar is visible.

    Hi
    My outlook account was recently hacked and they have changed my passwords, secret questions and my information meaning i am unable to access this account. I have the hacked account set up on icloud for all of three apple devices. I have been reading online that to change or delete an account i need to login, or turn find my iphone off which i cannot do without the password!
    I would be really grateful if anyone knew a way i could sort this out to fully delete the old icould account.
    Thanks very much!

    Contact the Apple account security team for your country and request assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.  If you can prove your identity to them, they can reset the password and help you regain control of the account.

  • Just returned my iphone 4s to Verizon. Back to the iphone 4 I kept, thankfully.  With the return however, went $35.00 of unwatched TV episodes and can't access, they are not in que

    After downloading 2 days ago $35.00 of TV episodes on the iPhone 4s because it had the memory, my computer does not. I was also taking advantage of a friend's high speed internnet f that I don't have at home, I ended 2 weeks of agony by returning the 4s to Verizon and switching back to the iphone 4. Today was the drop dead day to return the 4s and revert my contract. Unfortunately, I cannot get the TV episodes I did not get a chance to watch. I could not back them up on iTunes because I am out of space on my computer but originally was going to keep them on my Apple devices until that issue is resolved. I could watch them on the computer via the phone in the meanwhile.  Got 1 episode out of 12 viewed. 5g iCloud was not enough backup space plus my internet at home would have taken years to do it. I thought no problem, whole idea with IOS 5 was ability to access your purchases wherever and whatever apple devices you have on hand, works for the apps. Wrong, went to download 1 episode and I was charged again. Now I have to hassle with Apple support with that and the 12 other TV episodes. I have loved my ipods all the way to the click wheel, the video, the iTouch, and the iphone 4, all of which I still have but the iphone 4s issues and the IOS 5 update, really soured me! Apple is just TOO controlling, greedy and taking away the fun!!!

    I guess but that was what I was on earlier but it wasn't of much help.
    I need to chat with an apple person but don't know how if I don't have a phone accessible.
    Is there a way to connect thru a laptop or something?

  • I'm trying to download the latest version of iTunes and get the message "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." I have no clue what to do with this.

    Repair your Apple software update.
    Go to START > ALL PROGRAMS > Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
    If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:

  • Email send/receive suddenly doesn't work ; can't change email settings as BB phone won't accept valid username and password -- what to do?

    email send/receive suddenly doesn't work (as of September 24th); I can't change email settings (one suggestion from tech) as BB phone won't accept *valid* username and password -- what to do?
    I understand from a support note that if I keep trying my password/username combination, my BB will eventually delete all data!
    I can't understand this. I'm completely lost now. I can't remember what I've done or tried to do. A plethora of usernames and passwords is swimming in my head.
    Thanks for any hints. I have always loved this BB Bold and have never had any trouble with it.

    But the real question is why for the past year did the passwords work and then all of the sudden after this anomaly the disk password doesn't work?  I'm not 100% sure of what my configuration was, but I know that most of the time it required one password -- supervisor, and occasionally it asked for 2 -- disk password as well I believe.  This may have been related to the Password on Restart setting I think -- asking for the disk password on cold vs. warm boot.  But I know both were exactly the same.  But after this incident only the Supervisor password worked.

  • My phone keep asking me to sign in to itunes store and will not allow me to download apps. it sends a message saying "Cannot connect to itunes store" what do i do?

    my phone keep asking me to sign in to iTunes store and will not allow me to download apps. it sends a message saying "Cannot connect to itunes store" what do i do?

    Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it.  So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID).  If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.
