I need a little help accessing my mail on my mac and my iphone 4s after changing my password on Yahoo as someone hacked my account. I can't get mail, I just get Password error every time :(

Hi people,
A little stumped for what to do here... I had my Yahoo hacked, changed my yahoo password (Yahoo is the account configured to 'mail' on both my mac and iphone)... however since changing my password I have found I can't access my mail on either with out it asking me to enter my password. When I do, it say's 'Password error'. Sometimes it re-directs me to the actual 'Yahoo' browser saying I need to verify my account, but basically I can't use the mail function on either device now! I know you may suggest deleting the account and re-installing it to each device and I feel this would probably work as well but (and this is the tricky bit)... all my NOTES are configured through Yahoo, only some are through icloud (which is odd). All notes are about 201, icloud about 77 and the rest on Yahoo and when I go to delete the account it says it will also delete all my notes :/ Now, I am a bit of a writer, and these notes are pretty sacred to me so losing them isn't an option. I don't want to lose them. Is there anything any one of you lovely peeps can suggest. It would be much appreciated.

Yes, you have encountered Activation Lock (Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support). The only way that phone will ever be usable is if the owner the phone is locked to releases it (see: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support). If you are lucky the phone is locked to the seller, so you can ask them to unlock it. If the seller is merely a middleman and the previous owner is not the seller it gets much more complicated. It's even possible that you bought a stolen phone, in which case you will never be able to use it and you should return it for a refund.

  • HT1529 I have multiple users on my Mac and I was wondering how you tell the system to retain all the user names so they don't have to enter their email addresses every time ???

    I have multiple users on my Mac and I was wondering how you tell the system to retain all the user names so they don't have to enter their email addresses every time ???

    Email addresses into what?
    Each user should have their own account and password to log in.  Each is independent of the other.  So for Mail each has their own Mail account if they set one up in Mail. 
    That's the way it should be set up.  Are you using a single account and allowing multiple users to use that one single account?  If so then in Mail at least you could set up individual mail accounts.  But everything else in the system is shared.

  • I get a nimax.exe- Applicatio​n Error every time I start labview

    every time I start a vi either by double clicking or by opening labview first I get an application error... "the instruction at "0x1ca12b96" referenced at "0x00000000", The memory could not be "read", click ok to terminate the program". when I click ok the program does not terminate and as long as I don't close labview completely I can close it and reopen the vi. I am unsure if the program malfuncions after that point but it is certainly an annoyance. Have you seen this problem before? Is there something that I should do to the vi to correct the problem? Thanks,

    I talked to NI about this issue, and tried the following WITH success (note that I am running W2k and Labview 6.0.2):
    1. Uninstall all NI components in the reverse order you installed them. For me, this was Ni-Daq, Ni-488.2, and finally Labview 6.0. If you have to, look at the modified or created dates of the folders to see what order you did it in.
    2. After this, I decided to go a bit further and delete the registry key for Ni-Daq under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\NI-DAQ. Make sure you Export your registry key beforehand in case something goes wrong.
    3. Install Labview 6.0, custom installation. For this installation, DO NOT INSTALL the drivers, just Labview.
    4. After that, I installed the upgrade patch for Labview 6i -> 6.0.2, downloaded at ni.com.
    5. Next I downloaded the 2 files for NI-DAQ 6.9.3, uncompressed the files, and ran the setup. When the installation was done, I chose to not reboot now, but let me do it later. At one of these points, you can also Mass compile the VI's. I don't think it's necessary at this point, but I did it anyway.
    6. Finally, I downloaded NI-488.2 version 2.2 (which has a new version of MAX than NI-DAQ 6.9.3), uncompressed it and installed it.
    7. After this last step, I rebooted the computer and was able to finally get into MAX to configure my DAQ card.
    So far, this method has worked. Perhaps it can work for you.

  • Mail Rules on Mac and using iPhone mail

    Hi guys/girls,
    Hopefully someone here can help me better than the geniuses in the Appel Store...
    When my MacBook is off/asleep and I read my mail on my iPhone (that come into the inbox), Mail on my Mac does not apply my rules (when turning it back on) to the messages I've already read (on the iPhone).
    To get all Mail ruled all the time I'd have to keep my Mac turned on 24/7 and I have no interest in doing so.
    I know I can highlight the messages and reapply rules, but I would like to get around this.
    BTW, not sure this is in the right thread but couldn't fine one for Mail.
    Any suggestions..?
    Thank you

    You may have more luck with back-end matters if you ask in the Mac OS X Server area.
    I presume you've read the information starting on page 36 of the Mail Services Administration guide in the Mac OS X 10.6 Server documentation, and the notes in the appendix in that guide, yes?
    Regards.

    I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved to emails. Help! How do I get my iPhoto back?

    Thanks, Sig.
    The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
    In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem.  Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page.  Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
    If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them. 
    (I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

    I keep receiving this error every time I open LR, "Lightroom encountered and error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" and the app won't open. It said LR would try and fix this error next time I opened it but the error remains. I tried uninstalled and installing the app and the error remains. I have windows 8. Can anyone please help???

    Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. The normal location is Pictures\Lightroom. Locate a folder with the extension .lrdata and delete that folder. Then you should be able to start Lightroom again, and Lightroom will begin building and new previews folder. Do not delete anything else.

  • HT203175 How do I install iTunes on Windows Server 2003?!? I get an error every time!!

    I am having trouble installing any version of ITunes 10.5 or later
    on my Windows 2003 Server PC. I receive the following error
    every time I try to install it...
    "Apple Mobile Device Support requires that your computer is running Windows XP SP2 or newer"
    I anyone has had this same problem I would appreciate any help!!!
    Thank you!!!

    I've googled my problem with many hits stating Itunes can indeed be installed
    by making changes to the msi packages and I believe a few
    registry hacks. It sounds like it can be done, but before experimenting with
    those suggestions I thought looking to the Apple community on the official site
    might glean a better remedy.
    I'm just surprised Apple doesn't support any Windows Server applications
    even though Windows Server 2003 came out after Windows XP,
    (Server 2003 - 2003____XP - 2001)

  • I am getting this error every time I move three clips on my timeline.  Help?! [/Volumes/BuildDisk/bu

    I am getting this error every time I move three specific clips on my timeline.  Help?!  I am using Adobe Premiere CS6 for Mac.
    [/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/slightlybuilt/shared/adobe/MediaCore/Backend/Make/Mac/../../Src /Sequence/LinkContainer.cpp-245]

    Thanks for getting back to me.  I have discovered that the footage has 2 different frame rates.  The clips are 23.976 and 29.976, 1920x1080.  The sequence is 1920x1080 @ 23.976fps.  I know they should ideally be conformed and I will do that, but this is the first time I've had this issue using Premiere.  What I have done is unlink and relink the footage and still the same thing.  It does not crash if I do not mix the frame rate in my selection of clips.
