IPod touch mail problem?

I recently reset the password for my Hotmail account and when I tried to check my mail on my iPod, which was already synced it asked for the new password and I entered it i got an error message saying "Unable to verify account information". I deleted the Hotmail account and tried to add again and I got the same message. I have entered the new password multiple times and I am ABSOLUTELY sure that I got it right. I have also added my email address multiple times and I'm sure that I've got that right too. I have reset the password once more and still have the same problem. I have an iPod touch 4th generation with iOS 5. What should I do? Any help will be most appreciated, thanks

Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that didn't help try
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

  • HT4519 ipod touch mail problem

    Can't send mail from msn mail acct.  Error msg:
    The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]@smtp.live.com" is incorrect.
    Don't know how to correct.
    Tks, Judy

    Seems like you made an incorrect entry in the settings for the outgoing server. I would dlete the account tfrom the iPod and re-enter the settings. See the following for help;
    iOS: Hotmail, Live, or MSN email accounts

  • How do I fix my iPod touch's problem with hotmail outgoing mail server?

    I have just received a new replacement iPod touch 8Gb.
    On my old model I used the house wifi network to connect to HOTMAIL in the mail app it would set the account up immediately and work perfectly.
    This time, when I tried to set the account up I had a long delay while it verified account details. Then after opting to set up account without using SSL an account was generated with an error message to say I may not be able to send or receive mail.
    Incoming mail is OK, outgoing is not working.
    The error message told me that I needed to configure my outgoing mail server.
    My default outgoing server is set to smtp.live.com and works on port 587.
    I have an additional server set to 'on', which is also smtp.live.com working on port 465, which was set up when I tried to alter the port number on the default server. Still no outgoing mail.
    Any suggestions?

    Followed your instructions and again, account verification failed using SSL.
    I chose to create without SSL and got the following message:
    'The SMTP server 'smtp.live.com' is not responding'. I accepted the details,
    the email Inbox populated, and everything looks normal.
    Same error is occuring:
    'Connection to outgoing server 'smtp.live.com' failed. Additional outgoing mail servers can be configured in settings>mail,contacts and calendars'
    The settings are as follows:
    Incoming mail server
    Host Name: pop3.live.com
    username: is correct
    password: is correct
    Outgoing SMTP:
    Primary server
    host name: smtp.live.com
    username: is correct
    password: is correct (has been re-entered just in case)
    Use SSL: OFF
    Authentication: password
    server port 587
    I have duplicate SMTP servers listed under 'Other SMTP servers' with exactly the same details as above so it seems as if the iPod is retaining some settings even after I delete account.
    Also, I wonder if there is anything I need to get the network administrator to do, because he did ask for the Wi-Fi address of my previous iPod touch could it just be a case of allowing it as a specific device on our network?

  • IPod touch mail loading problem

    I recently started using email on my iPod touch. At home, it works great. I just moved back to school, and the email application works great in my dorm as well. In any other building on campus, however, I am unable to load mail. I can use safari and any other app that requires internet, but the mail just will not load. Is here a reason this is happening everywhere on campus except for my dorm? Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!
    -Stephanie

    you should check with your school's IT department. they may have certain ports blocked in various buildings preventing this. If this isn't the case, then they should be able to advise you how to fix this.
    Good Luck

  • IPod Touch Mail crashes after update 3.1.3

    Hi,
    It seems that since we updated our iPods Touch (different ones, 2nd Generation) to software 3.1.3, Mail app stopped working. It opens for a few seconds then it crashes. I have reset one of the iPods completely and synced it again, and still the same behavior. Something curious is that I open Mail, delete some messages, it crashes, and Mail shows the same number of new messages, as if I hadn't deleted any, and upon opening the app, yes, there they are. Rest of iPods seem to be working fine.
    An older iPod (1st gen) that we have not updated works just fine.
    Any clue or fix?
    Thanks

    My iPod does the same, Initially Apple blame the ISP, after much discussion it seems that there is a problem with 3.1.3 but they are reluctant to admit it. Firstly be denying all knowledge of problem then by blaming others. I think the problem is too big for them to admit and they can't fix it in the short term. Some are re-installing old software from net to get over problem, but Apple won't support old software. If any one has found a solution please let me know.

  • 2nd Gen IPod touch screen problem

    Hello,
    This question is regarding a 2gen 16gig Ipod Touch. My son’s Ipod touch just recently started having a screen fill of static for lack of a better work. As a way to describe it when we reboot it holding the home button and power button the apple logo appears but white line on the right hand side of the screen. When it fully boots up there are repeating vertical or horizontal lines across the screen. If you slide the bar across the button something happens but the screen is so staticy that you can’t see what is going on. He says he didn’t try to jailbreak it, nor does it have water damage that he knows of.
    We have tried to do a software restore within Itunes but if hasn’t helped (tried a couple times and set it up as a new touch). Is there anything else we can do, are there any other tricks to try or should I make an appt at the apple store?
    If a picture of the screen would help we can post try and post one tonight.
    Thanks for any help you can give.
    Mike

    If you restored it to factory-new (you did not add anything to it like apps, mail accounts) and you still have problem it appears that there is a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at an Apple Genius Bar.

  • IPod Touch Mail "Secure Connection Failed, The Certificate may be invalid"

    I've setup my POP account 100% correctly on my iPod touch, at times it even downloads my e-mail into the iPod Touch as well, however everynow and then it will come up with the message "The certificate for "Mail Account" may be invalid" Then it just goes on to retrieve my e-mails when I select continue. Any ideas??

    I called Apple support regarding this issue today and managed to get my problem resolved. When I went to add a new mail account it gave me the same error posted above... however, if you click "Continue" and wait about 2-3 minutes (yes, minutes) the iPod will come back and ask you if you want to try creating the mail account without SSL. Another window will come up after about 2 minutes confirming that it cannot create an account with SSL, and then prompt you again if you want to go ahead and create the non-SSL account. You click yes, wait ANOTHER 2 minute and voila. It jumps back to the main settings screen and you have a working mail account.
    Their support representative said it sounded like they would be releasing a patch in the future to make this easier (and reduce the timeout for SSL testing so you don't have to wait so long).

  • IPod Touch Mail holds on to my ISP's server

    If I check for mail with my iPod Touch over in-home Wi-Fi (Charter is my ISP), after updating the Inbox and going on to another app, (or not), or even putting the iPod on standby, if I try to check for mail on desktop Macs with the same account on the same Wi-Fi network it appears the iPod Touch is still tying up the Charter server as the Macs can't receive mail and can only be liberated by a full shutdown of the iPod Touch. I can't find a setting either on the iPod or at the server to solve this. Is this "the way it is" or is there a fix?

    Does your Charter email use pop or imap? This does sound very strange as an email server request is generally a short lived transmission. This sounds more like a router issue rather than an iPod/iMac problem.
    While I was reading your question, I received an e-mail on my touch and, while reading it, the same e-mail also came into my iMac (pop account). This should be the way it works unless you have the touch set to delete the e-mail on the server. So your problem still sounds like a problem of your router not releasing the port used by e-mail. I would look for and install the latest router firmware update that is available for your router.

  • Ipod touch mail application after installing 2.0

    Hi,
    Since new iTunes 7.7 & 2.0 firmware installation, it's impossible to run mail on Ipod touch.
    Application quit immediatly and it's also impossible to delete mail acount on ipod touch.
    After many restorations the problem is still alive.
    I guess i'm not the only one...
    Please need some help...
    PO

    HI, I think i found the solution
    1- Restore ipod with 2.0 firmware. You loose all settings
    2- Delete old ipod restoration on iTunes preference panel
    3- Do not use old ipod retauration on Itunes for the first sync
    4- When you sync 1st time, set only mail account on itunes and choose fresh ipod (no music, no photos ....it's very faster)
    5- See after if mail account is transfered
    6- What a beautiful life......
    Tell me if doesn't work !!

  • IPod Touch shuffling problem

    There's a bit of a problem with my iPod Touch 5th Gen. (64 GB).
    I always keep it on shuffle, because I keep a lot of music on it and I mostly listen to it on my way to work and back.
    I will explain how this problem occurs...
    In the morning, I turn the music on and it shuffles fine all the way.
    I reach my destination and press the button on the remote to stop playing
    I disconnect the headphones (Earpods with remote).
    For the next 6-7 hours I use e-mail, some apps, some browsing and games.
    On my way home, I connect the headphones again and it starts playing around 10 last tracks. Tracks I already listened to in the morning, and every next song is the song shuffle chose in the morning.
    I am also noticing that the shuffle option skips different tracks on purpose, and prefers other, and I don't know why. Maybe I am just unlucky so some tracks are chosen 2-3 times in few hours, and I don't even remember hearing some.
    I noticed the same issue with my old iPod Touch 4th Gen. (8 GB) and thought it must be iOS version related, but it remains the same even after updating to 6.1
    Tried restoring it, and all of the standard procedures.
    I am an experienced Apple user, and APP, so I didn't miss anything.
    Any ideas?

    I see the discussion is about smart playlists.
    Correct, it is. And that's the point. If you notice, micarta, who set that question was experiencing the same issue as you. Namely, that the same few songs were being played too often in the shuffle list.
    Try this - it's really easy and will take you all of three minutes to set up (less time than it's taken me to type this!)
    Create a Smart Playlist (it's that very large + button in the bottom left corner of the iTunes window). Let's assume for now, that your 2,000 song standard playlist is named 2000 songs and that you listen to approximately 10 songs on each journey (so 20 songs per day, five days a week). That's 100 songs per week and in 15 weeks, that's 1,500 songs. Don't get hung up on the arithmetic, you don't need to remember it and it  will make sense in a minute.
    Your Smart Playlist rules should look like this;
    In my particular example, both of my lists will have the same number of songs because I'm simply making up my list (which you'll notice only has nine songs, not 2,000. ) You don't need to have your 2000 song Playlist highlighted, as I have, when creating the Smart one.
    Clicking on the arrows will show the drop-down menus, from which you make your choices.
    The Match / all at the top will only change to that when you select the second rule.
    Create a second rule by clicking on the + button at the end of the first rule's line.
    Do not select the Limit to box, you don't need it in this set up.
    Do select the Match only ticked items, it will stop songs that are not on the iPod but in your Library from showing up in the iTunes version of the list.
    Leave Live updating selected.
    What you then have is the Smart Playlist, which I'll name Work Journey. The only songs in it will be songs that have not been played for 15 weeks. So if you have played - let's say - 450 songs, that are in your standard playlist, in the last 15 weeks, the Work Journey Playlist will only have 2000-450=1550 songs. The other 450 will not be there. So when you play from the Work Journey Playlist, it simply cannot play anything that has been played recently (surprise surprise, 15 weeks!) As each work day passes, the Work Journey Playlist has less songs in it - until - songs that have not been played for 15 weeks, are put back into the Work Journey Playlist and can be shuffled for play in it. So after a while, the playlist continues to have roughly the same number of songs in it, they're just different songs.
    Based on my arithmetic, your Work Journey Playlist should never run out of songs. But if it should (perhaps because you've played some of the songs at another time and from the Album or Songs menus), then all you need to do is reduce the number of weeks in the rules of the Playlist (highlight the Work Journey Playlist and select File/Edit Smart Playlist).
    There was one further thing. You believed that some songs in your standard playlist were being skipped. If a song is marked as Skip when shuffling, then it will be in the Work Journey Playlist but it will not be played in shuffle mode. You can spot if there are any.
    In the 2000 songs Playlist and on your iPod, set the Playlist to play in normal mode and start with the first song in the list. On the Now Playing screen, you will see 1 of 2000 displayed, where 2000 is the number of songs in the Playlist. Before that song finishes playing, change the iPod to shuffle mode with the shuffle icon in the top right of the Now Playing screen. If the 2000 changes to a lower number, you have songs in the Playlist that are set to Skip when shuffling. All you need to do is find them.
    In iTunes, highlight a song and look on File/Get Info/Options>Skip when shuffling.
    Let me know how you get on.

  • IPod touch Battery Problems Since iOS 7 was installed last year.

    Hello, I've had recurring battery problems with my iPod touch since the iOS 7 update was installed, and I find myself having to charge my iPod touch (5th Generation) a lot more frequently since I installed this update.
    On iOS 6, I had never experienced any problems with the iPod touch's battery, as I was able to let the battery drain down completely, and let it charge for 4 hours (recommended). After the iPod touch was fully charged for 4 whole hours, I was able to unplug the lightning cable, and the iPod touch on its own would last a few days to at least a week or two weeks.
    On iOS 7, since it saw its general release on the 18th September last year, I have found that the iPod's battery has drained so bad, that it dies too quickly, and when I put the iPod touch on charge, in almost an hour, the iPod touch tells me that it is 100% charged. However, when I take the iPod touch off its charge after it fully charges for that hour, it quickly drains down again.
    I have gone through the standard procedure of restoring my iPod touch to its factory settings, and I have seen absolutely no improvement on the battery life whatsoever. I mainly back up whatever is on my iPod touch (I back up pictures, videos and also transfer updates that I have installed for certain apps onto iTunes), though I have seen how some people have backed up the data on their iPod's or iPhones, only they find their iDevice draining so quickly.
    Even turning off certain features in the Settings app to improve the battery life doesn't help, as there is almost no difference that solves the problems I'm currently having with the iPod touch's battery.
    I recently heard about the free iPhone battery replacement program which is now available, so I'm starting to worry whether I have to pay for a new replacement battery for my iPod touch.
    Your help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.
    Many kind regards,
    Alex Smithson

    I mainly charge the iPod touch itself for four hours and it still doesn't make a difference. I've had my iPod touch for almost 2 years and since I installed iOS 7, it still doesn't make a difference.
    I was wondering, if the article you have provided doesn't sort the problems with the battery out, is there another alternative??
    Your help and advice is most appreciated.
    Many kind regards,

  • ICal on Mac desktop to iPod Touch syncing problem

    I have events on my iPod Touch that will not sync to my Mac OS 10.6.8 desktop.
    What I've done that may have caused this:
    I got a new MacBook for Christmas and so I tried syncing all 3 with iCloud, but that caused duplicate events
    I tried only using MacBook & iPod Touch for sycing with iCloud and then directly syncing from my iPod with USB to my desktop, but it stopped syncing (later I found that my cord needed to be replaced, but I'm not sure if that was the problem - I was still dealing with some duplicate events, too)
    I decided to stop using iCloud (I can do without using my iCal on my MacBook if there's no ideal solution to sync all 3 without duplications or other problems) and now my iPod Touch syncs well with my desktop for most items, but not all
    I think my desktop thinks the events that are syncing have already been synced because they were in the past. The one that was important that I missed today, which is on my desktop (a repeating event) but is no longer on my iPod Touch, refuses to sync to my desktop. There may be more that I haven't noticed.
    I thought maybe I could wipe my iPod Touch calendar and then sync my desktop to my iPod Touch, but I'm afraid that it might wipe my desktop as I don't know how to tell it to only go one way in syncing rather than acting as if it's a new program.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Be sure you've set your iPod to the correct time zone (ie, same as your computer). If you're on the East Coast it's three hours ahead of Apple HQ's time zone. A 5:00pm appointment in New York is at 2:00pm to someone using a Californian clock. Make sure your Touch isn't a Californian clock.

  • IPod touch connection problem!

    My iPod touch no longer appears in iTunes when it is connected to the computer. I have tried to fix this problem in as many ways as I know but none of them have worked. So far, I've tried: Restarting my iPod, Downloading and installing the latest version of iTunes, using a different usb cable, using different usb ports, restarting my computer and stopping & starting the apple mobile device service. My iPod still charges when connected to my wall charger and the computer which I use (windows xp) still connects to my brothers iPod touch. I don't what the problem could be?! My iPod is 1 & 1/2 years old, but still works perfectly fine apart from this issue. Can anyone help?

  • IOS 8.1 iPod touch 5 problems

    I recently updated my iPod Touch 5th gen to iOS 8.1 and have found a few rather annoying problems.
    1) It now takes basically a whole day for my iPod to charge. I cannot use my iPod and charge it at the same time (or only on very low battery use apps), which I could before . The battery life has dropped pretty significantly. When I plug it in, it is extremely tempermental about being connected.
    2) I added some new songs to iTunes and it took over fifteen tries over a three day period to get it to sync my iPod.
    3) This one is very important as much as extremely annoying. When I start typing on the Internet, Safari will freeze up and stop working.
    Is anyone else experiencing the same problems? Has anyone found any solutions? 

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
