  • My Ipad has stopped receiving emails today. It has IOS7 on it. The settings are correct but says "connection to the server failed" help!

    My Ipad has stopped receiving emails today. It has IOS7 on it. The settings are correct but says "connection to the server failed" help!
    It is the same accout that has been working find for years and just after I updated the software this has happened. My Mac is still receiving and sending via Outlook with the same account and settings. My Iphone 5C has also stopped and I tried deleting the account and adding again (via exchange as it's an exchange accout) the same way I always do and it won't even recognise it to add the settings.
    So annoying. Can anyone help?

  • For the ipad 2, what do you do when it says connection to the server failed?

    For the ipad 2, what do you do when it says connection to the server failed ?  This has happened for the past two days.  I have changed nothing.  It happens at home and at work.  What do you do?  What has happened?  Thank you.

    What are you trying to do when you get this error message? Is it related to mail, connecting to the iTunes store, Facebook/iMessage, your internet ISP? All of these are different servers.

  • My icloud says connection to the server failed

    I Changed my iTunes account to my step son and then opened my own for some reason I can't add my icloud account as an extra email and when I try to go onto my icloud emails it says connection to server failed and I've lost all my emails

    It does not sound like you lost your emails, it sounds like you lost access to your account. To verify if I am correct you can go to www.icloud.com and login. You will see your emails, as long as you use the same user name and password as you had used originally.

  • Why won't my mail update.? It says connection to the server failed.

    I've updated to the newest software version on my iPhone 5 and I still can't get any mail. "Connection to server failed". Says that every time I try to open my mail.

    This is an email account that worked previously, I assume? You might try deleting, then re-adding the account.

  • HT1694 My hotmail was working fine and now I am getting a box that says connection to the server failed... How do I fix this?

    My hotmail account all the sudden started giving me the message connection to server has failed. How do I fix this to receive my mail?

    That suggests the track is damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Connection to the server failed for email, but internet access is fine.

    My iPad 2 worked fine yesterday and today I cannot get mail.  The message says connection to the server failed or all of my email accounts.  Internet access is fine.

    Try again with the e mail.  The message means you messed up the settings.  Google you ISP and e mail settings.  They will tell you the server name for incoming and outgoing.  They will be different.  Pay attention to port number and be careful to make sure you enter the password right.    Since the rest of the internet works, your problem is just with the security on your ISP.

    Hi StuNYC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that  cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

  • TS3899 for several months now i cannot receive my email.  it says cannot get mail the connection to the server failed.

    the note says the connection to the server failed.  i can get everything else off the internet but not my mail.  i think i was checking out the icloud and might have accidently done something with my email to make it stop being available to me.  how can i check out the icloud issue?  I have never used icloud before.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • I am having a problem accessing my Yahoo email account.  It keeps saying, cannot get mail, the connection to the server failed.  Then I put my email in settings and it works but this happens constantly.  Anyone having this problem?

    My Yahoo email asks me daily for my email password or says the connection to the server failed.  Is anyone having this problem currently?  I noticed old messages in chat mentioned the same problem.  I get into my Yahoo email fine on my desktop computer for several weeks without re entering a password.  But the IPad does not seem to be connecting daily with Yahoo without putting a password in again. 

    So, I didn't change anything and now it is working better. I still get the odd error though.
    I have a feeling this has something to do with the SSL update Apple released and it was their server side.
