Iphone can't connect to email

My Iphone is unable to connect to my email. It was working perfectly until this morning and the email screen says 'Connecting' but it never connects.

Jose,
Bless you! Thank you for taking the time for posting such a simple solution. I have been wasting a lot of time trying to set my email account. Nothing was working until I read your post. A soft reset did the trick!
Much appreciated for your help. You saved me a trip to the apple store.

IPhone can't connect to wifi at home

periodically my wife's and my iphone can't connect to wifi at our house. We do have many devices connected - about 7-9 - but it seems like the iphone is at the bottom of the pecking order. No other devices have this problem. Sometimes when I unplug and replug the router it will connect to the phones. Do I have a bad router?

From personal experience, I have learned that all Apple devices are good for detecting netowrking/wifi issues. My home wifi works great most of the time. When I start having problems with my iPhones, it will progress to the iPads, then the MacBooks, then eventually to the ThinkPads. If I resstart my router when I start having problems with my iPhones, everything else is always happy. I have even gotten tot hte point that I restart my router once a month (usually at 8:00pm on the 1st) and then I don't have any problems with any of my devices cconnecting, even the iPhones.

HT1688 My husband's iphone can't connect to the App store after he updated to ios.7. He updated it yesterday and he has had problems since. He gets a message that the iphone can't connect to the app store and he has internet connection. Please help.

My husband's iphone can't connect to the app store after updated his phone to ios.7. and has internet connection.

Any update will cause problems for a few users. And those users will rush here and post "the sky is falling" stories about their experience. The 99.99% of people who have no problems after an update won't bother to post here; indeed, most of them don't even know ASC exists. FWIW, I had no problems with iOS 7 on my 4S. Your problem is most likely not related to iOS 6, but you should probably update anyway.

Iphone can't connect to wifi

Hi, i'm using an iPhone4 (4.3.1) and it was everything fine till yesterday.
This morning I woke up and i saw that the iPhone was working only in 3G so I tried to connect to the wifi network (I've got an airport extreme) manually but it said "unable to connect to wifi network XXX" altough I can see the networks in the wifi menu pannel.
So I turn off the iPhone in order to restart it, or smth else, but it was all the same... Then I have removed the wpa/wpa2 password from the network but the problem already exist.
I tried to create a new wifi network from my macbook pro, but the iPhone can't connect to it... I hope that it's not an hardware problem, and it'll be strange since i can see the networks around me but i can't connect to them: i think that if it would be an hardware problem, i couldn't see them.
Could you help me, please?!? I don't know what could I do now... The last chance is to contact the applecare..............
Thank you
Gian

Two things.
1. unplug power to router. Unplug power to modem. Let sit for 10 seconds. Plug in power to modem. Wait for modem to finish it's boot process and wait for all the lights to stop flashing. Plug in power to router and wait for it to connect. Shutdown iPhone and turn back on and try to reconnect to the internet.
2. On the iPhone go to "Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings" and then restart the phone and then try connecting to the Wi-Fi hotspot again.

Suddenly iPad can't connect to email account

This is the second time in a year this has happened. My iPad suddenly cannot connect to my email server. It claims the password is wrong but it isn't (my Mac Mail can connect and my iphone can connect). I went ahead and re-entered the password on the ipad just in case but it still gives the same error. I also tried disabling and re-enabling the account that didn't work either.
The last time this happened the only way I was able to fix it was to delete the email account completely and recreate it. That's very painful because it means the iPad has to resync that email account and it has 10's of thousands of messages.
Does anyone know of another way to get email to this account working again short of the above?

I'm 100% postive the account settings were not change on either end, like I said my Macs and iphone and old ipad2 can still fetch/send mail on that acount just fine.
I forgot to say I also did a ''reset network settings'' on the ipad to see if that would have any effect but that did nothing either.
All these machines are on my same home network so it can't be a firewall issue
BTW, I was at Apple for 21 years, 1987-2008, in SW development writing the OS X Kernel so I am pretty familiar with all this stuff . However, this sudden inability of ios Mail to connect to one of my accounts (there are 4 email accounts in my ios Mail app and only one has this issue) is a little out of my normal area of expertise.
I seem to recall that the last time this happened and I told some people someone said I could have done "X" to get it working again instead of deleting and re-creating the entire email account but of course I can't remember what that was.

HT4623 Please help. My iphone can not connect to SIM card , I tried many times there is no hope.

Today I updated my iphone , but when it finished , it can not connect with my SIM card I do not know why?

What is the exact error message? Does it say that there is no SIM, or does it say that the SIM is unsupported or invalid?

IPhone can't connect to my wifi, can connect to others. My other devices are fine. Basic T-shooting steps fail.

Sorry for the repeat post but I want to get more help with this.
Prior to problem: All devices surfing wirelessly on Airport Express.
Replaced Airport Express with Time Capsule.
Problem: Wife's iPhone4 (5.1.1) can not surf on wifi provided by my time capsule. All my other devices (iMac, Mac Air, iPad and my iPhone) can. Wife's iPhone can surf on an unsecure network somewhere nearby in my apartment complex. (Which to me, rules out a hardware problem).
Steps taken: Tapped iPhone wifi On/Off multiple times with no change. "Forget this network" multiple times with no change. Reset iPhone Network Settings multiple times with no change. Restored iPhone using iTunes as New iPhone once with no change. (Since doing that, I have restored with back up of iPhone settings and data.) Powered Time Capsule on/off several times with no change. Turned wireless security off with no change. Security is back on. It is WPA 2 Personal with a lengthy password. I'm not getting the "incorrect password" msg. Renewed lease multiple times with no change.
Other indications: 3G is in upper left. Status wheel is spinning next to my network's name. On the initial "Settings" window, my network name is shown (as if it were connected. But tapping it and going to the "wifi networks" window shows the list of available networks with the status wheel spinning next to mine.) Tapping the blue arrow on my network name leads to the window that has "forget this network" at the top, and a list of blank fields: IP address, subnet mask, router and so on. DHCP is chosen, HTTP proxy is OFF. Sometimes, the top two fields (ip address and subnet mask) have values filled in, but the rest of the fields don't.
On my Time Capsule, as seen via Airport Utility (V5.5.3), 3 devices are shown as connected. Clicking this provides a listing. My wife's iPhone wi-fi address is listed. It's "rate" however is 1. My imac is 216 and my iphone is 65. BTW, iOS devices drop off the list when they go to sleep. No big deal there.
Back to Airport Utility, in the summary tab... status is normal, version is 7.6.1, wireless mode is "create a wireless network", security is "wpa/wpa2 personal", channel is 149 auto and 1 auto (I tried changing 1 to 11 with no change), connect using "ethernet" and finally my IP address begings with 76. 76.xxx.xxx.xxx
Moving to the "Wireless" tab of Airport utility... wireless mode is "create a wireless network", radio mode is auto, radio ch. selection is auto, wireless security is wpa/wpa2 personal, "remember password in keychain" is checked. Now Clicking on the "wireless network options" button..... 5ghz is not checked, country is USA, multicast rate is "low", t-mit power is "100%", WPA group key timeout is 1 day (it used to be 1 hour but this has made no change in the problem), "use wide channels" is not checked, "create a closed network" is not checked.
MAC access control is not enabled. But it was enabled previously and I added my devices by their Wi-Fi addresses one at a time until i decided to turn it off due to this problem. this resulted in no change with the problem.
Personally, I feel the prob lies with the DHCP and ip address and related fields, but I don't know enough about what their values should be in relation to my other devices to alter them on my own.

I pasted below a response that helped.... sort of. I followed the directions below. At the end, all my devices were connected to my network. BUT, the last device I connected, my MacAir, did not stay connected for long. It now has the exclamation point in the middle of the wi-fi icon in the top right of the screen.
This event agrees with my original problem: It was my wife's iPhone that was the last to be connected to my network and the only one to fail to connect.
Is there a limit to how many devices can be connected to my time capsule? I have 5 devices. What is "extending?" Do I need to do that?

This solved my questionRe: Airport Express wifi network not working
Mar 1, 2012 1:46 PM (in response to Don_McCracken)
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
Make sure that the setting for Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save any changes
Then power down the entire network...all devices....power down order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Power up the modem/router first and let it run a full minute by itself
Power up the Express the same way
Continue powering up devices one at a time the same way until everything is powered back up
You should be able to connect through the Express and on to the Internet

Re: my i phone will not connect to i store
Jan 14, 2012 12:42 AM (in response to wmadchef)
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
Go to Settings > Store > Apple ID> Sign out then sign in again.
It seems to work
I still get the message (can not connect to iTunes Store) at some updates. But then I can click ok and it updates anyway. Hopefully this can help others with the same problem as well!

If these don't work you probably have a hardware problem. Visit an Apple store for an evaluation or contact Apple Support.

IPhone can't connect to wifi - one solution

I have an original iPhone that has been having trouble finding and connecting to my home wifi network. Sometimes it saw the network, other times it didn't. Sometimes it required re-entering my network name & password, sometimes it didn't. I tried all of the usual resets & restores (both of the phone and of the wifi network) with no improvement. My wife's original iPhone finds and connects to the network just fine, so it seems to be something within my phone in particular.
After surfing the discussion groups and finding nothing that solved this issue, I stumbled on this seemingly easy fix. It works great for me - though as usual with stuff like this - your mileage may vary. It does no harm, so if your phone has issues it's worth a try...
This workaround presumes that you can connect to your network "sometimes". When you do manage a connection - here's what you're going to want to do:
Go into your Settings>Wifi and click on the blue arrow next to your network name. The page with the IP address should be visible, and the DCHP tab highlighted. If you've managed to connect to your network, the lines under this tab should be full of information - IP Address, Subnet Mask, etc...
Copy all of this info down.
Go to the Static tab and copy all of the info into the appropriate fields. Leave the Static tab highlighted and exit back to your homescreen.
That's it.
For me, immediately prior to discovering this workaround I rarely could get it to find my network, let alone connect, and when it did connect it'd drop frequently. Now my phone now finds my home network within 5 seconds of unlocking the phone and stays connected with a strong signal.
It didn't "fix" whatever caused the initial problem but as a workaround it's a solid solution - at least for my issue.
If you have poor/intermittent home wifi reception with your iPhone, give this a shot.

This is great! It's working for me @ home now...which was NEVER connecting before, unless I shook my phone, went back & forth into my settings to get our WiFi network & selected it.
Did you have issues connecting outside of your home? I used to have the "E" when not on my WiFi, but now cannot access e-mail or internet anywhere outside of my house, unless there is an AT&T WiFi hotspot somewhere...which NEVER happens. I'm VERY frustrated, because I got lost last week & couldn't even access the "Maps" section because it couldn't locate me! Couldn't access the internet to search the address I was looking for, because I was in the car & didn't have an AT&T hotspot. My GPS in the car wasn't working properly...very frustrating...can you offer any solutions?
Thanks! Tamara

IPhone can't connect to L2PT VPN

I am running Mac OS X Server (10.9.3) on a Mac Mini providing a L2PT VPN. The VPN works fine on my MBP but neither my iPhone (7.1.1) or iPad (7.0.6) can connect. I keep getting this error "The L2PT-VPN server did not respond. Try reconnecting. If the problem continues, verify your settings and contact your Administrator."

I've updated to 7.0.4 already but it can't connect VPN also.
Are there anyone come to play with this issue?
Please.

Can't connect to email account

I have a nokia x6 and a yahoo7 email account. I used the setup on the phone to get all the settings and when I click to connect to my email my user name and password comes up and after I enter that in it says it is connecting to yahoo7 the it keep going back to the username and password screen. I'm sure it is the right name and password for my y7mail account.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

RE: "Mail, Contacts and Calendars preferences can't connect to the Yahoo account "bellsouth.net".
I recently changed my ATT U-Verse password…and Mail quit working… it wouldn't send or receive, Safari worked fine. I tried to send an email and a warning message popped up, "Mail, Contacts and Calendars preferences can't connect to the Yahoo account "bellsouth.net". In smaller type the next sentence read, "Enter the password for user [email protected]". The Password box was highlighted in blue so I just typed in my new password and my email message was immediately sent…but… I still couldn't receive messages AND the above "can't connect" warning message kept popping up on the screen at random.
Here's the Fix that worked for me. (The problem is that the new password was changed/updated on the keychains "smpt.att.yahoo.com" name-but- the name "pop.att.yahoo.com" didn't update to my new password).
Go to your Utility windows and select Keychain Access. Under Category select Passwords. Now check your password for your current (newest dated) name, "smpt.att.yahoo.com". Now check the password under, "pop.att.yahoo.com". Mine wasn't the same as my newest password found in my
"smpt.att.yahoo.com" window so I deleted my old password in the "pop.att.yahoo.com" window and typed in my new password, then selected "Save Changes". MY MAIL NOW WORKED…and no more warning messages cropped up. Problem was fixed.
