IPad 2 with iOS5 mail problem

Hello,
I have just upgraded my iPad2 to iOS5 and everything was working great but i have noticed one problem. I have setup my iPad to do exchange for m.gmail.com. And i have no trouble receiving emails in those accounts. But when i tried to send a "test" email to my icloud email address, it doesnt go through. I can see the email on icloud.com. But not on the iPad2. I have already enabled the "mail" Services for the icloud.
Anyone else have the same problem? Or possibly a solution?

I'm not sure if you've been successful with playing music on your iPad yet but here's what worked for me. This morning I discovered that my whole music library was 'greyed out' and nothing would play at all after installing the shiny new (flawed and bugged) IOS 5. After unsuccessfully trying a hard reboot (holding the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds, ignoring the power off prompt and letting the iPad completely shut down, operating system incuded) then everything bar a complete wipeout and restore to factory defaults I tried this and it worked:
First I synched my iPad with my iTunes via the USB cable. Then I unticked the 'synch music' tab, which will basically delete all of the music from your iPad on the next synch which I then did. Then I ejected the iPad from iTunes and performed a hard reboot (see above). To power up again hold the sleep button down for a few seconds and you'll see the Apple logo. it should then take about 20-30 seconds to reload and be ready to use. I then reconnected to iTunes, went to the music synch tab. Ticked the box to put my entire music library back on the iPad and synched again. Depending on how much music is in your library or how much you put on your iPad it could well take hours. I've only got about 5GB and it took over 2 hours. Anyway after it had synched and put all the music back on the iPad, I tried and all of it is now longer 'greyed out' and plays like it's intended to.
If you haven't been successful yet then it's worth a try. It may well work for iPhones too if the music has already been backed up on iTunes. Hope this helps.

  • Since upgrading my iPad 2 with ios5, I have apps closing down with no warning!

    Since upgrading my iPad 2 with ios5, I have had apps closing down without warning. This has happen while using mail and Facebook! Does anyone know how to remedy this?

    If reseting it doesn't work, make sure you have a good backup and restore it. Connect it to a computer with iTunes, hold sleep/wake and home button until it says connect to iTunes on the iPad display, it should also pop up on your commuter that iTunes sees an iPad in restore mode. Follow the onscreen prompts for the restore. As I said make sure you have a good backup on iCloud or iTunes because the will erase the iPad and reinstall iOS.

  • Ipad 2 with IOS 6 problems with apps and battery

    Ok, I had updated my iPad the day of or day after the IOS 6 came out and at first I had no problems with it. Except now, for some reason I am starting to have problems with different apps and with the battery life.  First off within 15 minutes, it went down to almost 90% charge with it being a full charge and me hardly using any apps and closing the ones I wasn't using (which was just safari and Facebook open). But the problem I have been having is that I cannot chat with my friends on the Facebook app now because it will show its loading the chat box and then freeze up.  With pages and numbers, they seem to take longer than usual to load up which is around 10 seconds or so before I can do anything.  I had uninstalled and reinstalled the apps with no effect and tried restarting my iPad. It also seems like my iPad is taking longer to shut down and turn on than usual even though i make sure all the apps are closed before turning it off.  (the location services, bluetooth, notifications, FaceTime, messages, and limit ad tracking is all turned off to help with battery life and i don't use them.)Is there any suggestions on what I can do to fix this problem? 

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

    Hi Linc,
    I have tried doing that with no luck, I just tried receiving mail through another account on my system and for some reason that seems to be fine. It looks like it is just my Admin account that cannot receive mail.

  • IMac and iPad sync with cloud no problems, iTouch with OSi4.2.1 is now wiped out, how do I sync contacts and mail?

    I am not a happy mac user at the moment.  I have a new ipad OSi 5.0 works fine with my two Lion systems.  I have an iPod touch with OSi 4.2.1 I was trying to sync my calender, mail and contacts.  It did the mail and calender but it wiped out my contacts.  I not only want them back, I want them synced with the other systems.  I should not have to buy a new touch to get this to work!
    I would be happy to upgrade the OSi if it was an option!

    You can't actually delete an iCloud account but you can remove it by signing out at System Preferences>iCloud if it is the promary account, or in Mail, Contacts & Calendars if the secondary, and then juste ignore it.
    The Blackeberry can only sync with data held under 'On My Mac'. iCloud can only sync with data under 'iCloud'.
    When you set up iCloud your calendars and contacts were moved to the iCloud server. If you want to use Blackberry you will have to move them back to 'On My Mac' and not sync with iCloud: it's one or the other.
    To move calendars, follow the second set of numbered instructions here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmovecalendars.html
    To move contacts, File>Export as vCard when you have selected all your contacts, then delete the contacts under iCloud, make 'On My Mac' the default and reimport the vCard.

  • IPad 2 with iOS5 Music Track Gray

    Hi,
    I recently updated my iPad2 to iOS5. The update seems to have worked fine, but I am having a problem using the Music App.
    All the music tracks are grayed-out. I cannot tap a track to play a song. I can change views (Playlist, Songs, Artists, etc) but everthing it still gray. Also in album view I do not see any artwork,
    If I connect to my iTunes library via Home Sharing, I can play music. It just seems my local files cannot be played. I went into iTunes and stop it from syncing music to the iPad which erased all the files. When I re-established the music sync, it copied the music files back, but still appear gray.
    Not sure what is causing this. Videos synced from iTunes work fine. Just music. Any suggestions.
    Thanks.

    Perhaps having iTunes on an External Hard Drive is what you are looking for...

    To Operate iTunes from the External Drive...
    Start iTunes with the Option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • I have upgraded my Ipad 2 with ios5 but i seem to have lost all the pictures that were on my device...can I get them back

    Can I retreive my pictures ??

    were they pictures you synched from your iTunes OR pics taken with the camera of your iPad?
    If the latter, you will need to look into the backup of your iTunes. I've successfully restored deleted images this way several times. Let me know if you need more info on this.

  • IPad 2 and ios5 update problem(stuck in recovery mode)

    Hi,
    I have been trying to upgrade to ios 5 on my ipad2 and have had a couple of failures (the same as most people have had).
    i tried running it once more and it went beyond the validating install with apple part and then i recieved and error code 3004 and my ipad is now stuck in
    recovery mode,all i have on my screen is the itunes logo and usb cable.
    In itunes it only gives me an option of restoring to factory settings. if i look in itunes preferences and backups it gives my last one as 18.33 but it isnt there
    i really am at a loss as to what to do next.
    Any help will be gratefully recieved  Regards Adrian

    Here's how I fixed this on my MacBook Pro.
    With your device connected, in iTunes, Option-click the Restore button.
    You'll be asked to select the file to use to Restore. Go To Folder (Command-Shift-G): ~/Library/iTunes/
    then into the proper "XYZ Software Updates" folder ("iPad Software Updates" for example), you'll find the file to use to update.
    If you have more than one, select the one that ends with "5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw".
    This resolved the "internal error occurred" I had with my iPad 2.
    Make sure you read the warnings that pop up during the process; this will remove everything you have on your device, so you'll need a working backup, or a way to sync your data.
    Good luck.

  • Gmail with Apple Mail problem: inbox label in the trash folder

  • With the mail problem at hand, can I relay mail through a 10.4 server?

    I read all the post and get worried not to have my mail running on 10.5. The question is, can I use an other 10.4 server that is standing here around and handles print and file sharing for the network to host also mail. I was hoping I can set on the main server the mail server domain to the 10.4 server.
    I just don't know if this is possible and if so, how?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    i got a workaround. just linked to an outside zimbra server and all mails are working. I guess we'll have to wait until this is fixed.
