Is there a issue with Mail connecting to BT / Yahoo email accounts?
I am using Mail to connect to my e-mail account on btinternet.com. It will find, but every so often I get the Alert
The server returned the error: The connection to the server "imap.mail.yahoo.com" on port 993 timed out.
Is this an OS Mail problem or a BT/Yahoo problem? What can be done about it?
Hello,
Yahoo seems to have frequent partial outages...

Issues with Mail Connection in iOS6
I have a weird issue that's been plaguing me since I upgraded to iOS 6. My company hosts its mail using an Apple Mail server running 10.5 (yes, outdated, we know and are migrating to Google). I used to have no problem connecting via IMAP to my mail account on my iPhone 4. I upgraded to iOS 6 and was receiving an error that mail could not connect to my work account. I deleted and re-added the account and it seemed to work until a few days later when the issue returned. I did a restore on my phone and again all seemed well. About two days later I upgraded to an iPhone 5. I migrated my data to it from my latest backup in iTunes, done the day prior (day after my restore). Everything was peachy until a week later when I began getting connection issues in Mail.app again. I deleted and re-added my account, this time it didn't work. I restored my phone, it worked...for another week. I began getting connection issues again. I've now found a reproducible pattern and horrible work-around and am wondering if anyone else is encountering this. Here are my steps:
Mail.app starts telling me it cannot connect to my account.
I delete the account and reboot the phone.
After reboot the account IS BACK. Seriously, it comes back after the first reboot 90% of the time.
I delete the account again and reboot my phone.
I verify the account is really deleted and re-add it, then it will work for about a week.
Ever so often when I reboot that first time the account appears to be deleted. If I re-add my account then it will not connect, I have to delete and reboot and if the account appears there again then I can delete it a second time and it will actually work when I re-add it after reboot. Sound confusing? It is. One time when I rebooted my phone ALL of my mail, contacts, calendar accounts deleted. That was awesome.
Am I all alone here? Do I have to totally restore the phone without restoring from backup? Since I've been using iOS since the first iPhone that latter answer is definitely not an easy one to comply with. So many things I'd have to re-download and configure.
Thanks for any help you can provide!Okay everyone! I struggled with this problem for a long time, and I was just about to send a complaint to Spotify when it worked for me! See, I did a little different than before; this is the list I was going to file:
"1. I open Spotify from the application menu.
2. I choose "Online" mode.
3. My phone asks me how I want to connect to the Internet.
4. I pick "Easy WiFi".
5. I choose my WiFi network from the list.
6. Application seems to be signing me in.
7. My phone asks me again how I want to connect to the Internet.
8. I repeat the procedure. Spotify can't connect with WiFi.
-I have tried to connect using other WiFi networks, didn't work.
-Before I updated last time I could connect without problem.
-I can connect using 3G.
-I can connect using WiFi in other applications than Spotify, for example Opera Mobile and the native browser.
-I have reinstalled the application without difference."
However, I did it a little different, which made it work: instead of choosing "Easy WiFi", I choose my network directly from the list: see attachment. I never thought of that I could do so and I can't remember I did that before the update either. I have now synced my tracks and the app seems to be a little buggy, I still hope for an update, though it now works at least. Sometimes it crashes.
Please, tell me about if this worked for you and if you have other, better solutions. This isn't good enough, I still seek a better way.

Mail.app and Verizon / Yahoo email account setup
I've searched and searched on here and still can't find a proper (or updated) answer to the question. (Newest answers I found were for 10.4.4 involving keychain access-which I tried...)
Why won't my @verizon.net account work with Mail.app?
I can login using verizon's online mail, but can't use the verizon-supplied settings to receive the mail through mail.app.
incoming.yahoo.verizon.net
outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
Couldn't find what port settings to use...I think I might have found a solution. For some reason, it appears the outgoing mail server doesn't like to have the same login as the DSL setup account. I switched my outgoing account to a secondary account (my setup account is jsichol, but I used joesichol as my outgoing.)
(It is working as of now, but I've seen others on here who got it to work for a couple of days before it crapped out.)
I am actually using the verizon account linked with a yahoo account, so my ingoing and outgoing accounts are *coming.yahoo.verizon.net.
I really hope this works and that others find this thread useful.
I'm on Verizon DSL, in Richmond, Virginia. -
iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.2 stopped receiving mail yesterday. Have yahoo email account. Can still send emails. Have turned device off/on. Have done the dual off/on thing using top button and menu button. Issue seems to be only with main inbox, as sub folders are receiving mail. Other Apple device is not having issues like this, just on iPhone.

Your issue is with the Yahoo email account which is notoriously bad.
you can try deleting and reinstalling the email account.
If that doesn't fix it try the yahoo email app. -
Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?
That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS. -
I'm trying to connect to my home wifi with my imac gh5. After I enter the password it says connection timeout or password incorrect. I know there's no issue with the connection but I don't know what else to do. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
What is the make & model of your home Wi-Fi router that you are attempting to connect your G5 iMac to? Which exact model of iMac do you have?
What wireless security type is your router using: WEP, WPA, or WPA2? If you temporarily disable wireless security, can the iMac connect to it now? -
My itunes account on windows xp shuts down for no reason. If even try to delete something from my library it shuts down. It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and I can't connect to the store. I have already reinstalled itunes and did a system restore on my computer, firewall has been checked, itunes is ok on firewall and virus scan done. Ideas??
Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

Issues with my connection when gaming (Insurgency)
Hello,
I just bought the MSI GT72 2QE. I am very pleased with de specs like the Geforce GTX 980m and the i4710hq but there is an issue that is bothering me some days now. When i am playing my beloved game Insurgency, i get ping spikes all the time. So i followed up some instruction on uninstalling the Killer software suite and just installing the drivers when i encountered the next problem. My Killer Wireless-n/a/ac 1525 Wireless Network Adapter couldn't find the drivers in the 'drivers only' package. But i did my best to find other drivers and accomplished after 5 hours full of frustration. So that is done but still doesn't solve my problem.
I don't know what to do anymore and I'm starting to think that maybe my Killer Wireless-n/a/ac 1525 Wireless Network Adapter is the issue. Maybe this is a hardware issue. I contacted the store where i bought it and they will contact me in 48 hours with a possible solution but the guy said that after all my effort it seems like a hardware issue indeed. You guys are my last hope or my laptop will be gone for 3 weeks at the factory.
Video of ping:
nl.tinypic.com/r/ztisd1/8
I hope someone has the solution.
Excuse me for my incorrect English, it's not my native language.
Bye!Thanks for your reply.
I'm glad (and I'm not glad for the others..) that I'm not the only one. But it's not because there are more devices connected to my router because I am the only one now and I'm still having this problem while my other laptop doesn't have any problems at all. I've tried everything so far now. Resetting my router, restarting my router, reinstalled windows, reinstalled drivers, got rid of the software suite, turned off firewalls, virusscanners etc. Everything.
I thought it was only with Insurgency but it's also bugging me with Battlefield 4.
So i have tried and done everything i could find on every forum on the internet. Still I don't get the download/upload/connection I am used to when using wireless. When i am in my room, which is 10m away from the wireless router, my download speed is max 1200 kb/s where I would easily get 2300 kb/s. Also when playing online games I am having big issues with my latency/ping. It goes from 60 to 200 to 400 and back every 15/20 seconds. I also own a Asus laptop and I don't have any issues at all with the wireless connection. When I am in my room there are no problems at all. I am starting to think that the Killer Wireless adapter is just a f*cked up thing. I bought a laptop (GT72 with 980m) for €2300 but I am having all these issues with the connection. It makes me really frustrated.
Longer vid of ingame netgraph:
nl.tinypic.com/r/97mjae/8
I am hoping that there is something that solves my issues. I'm starting to think that another wireless network adapter from another brand is the only option. Is there an option to change the wireless network adapter on my laptop because I will if I can. This piece of sh*t needs to be replaced.
Bye -
Are there any issues with updating to IOS 5.0.1
I have a brand new IPad 2 and I see there is an OS update available. I see there are issues with some IPhones, but I'm wondering if there is any reason not to update the OS on my IPad?
I haven't had any issues, although posts in this forum show some have. To upgrade to iOS5 you need to have your iPad connected to your computer. Once iOS5 is installed, further iOS updates can be installed via WiFi connection.
You can download a complete iPad 2 User Guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/ipad_user_guide.pdf

I just loaded Firefox onto my laptop. I set up the the sync add on and had no errors. When I hit sync now I get "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Firefox sync server maintenance is underway, syncing will resume automatically." I have gotten this message for the last 10 hours. Should I wait or is there an issue with my setup? I checked the Mozilla sync server status and it listed no issues.
There was a server out last week. see below. now everything works great. thanks for the follow up.

19:39:11 PDT --- Well, this is embarrassing. It looks like one of our
servers was down and for whatever reason we didn't notice.
It should be working now. If you still see errors, please reopen this bug.

Are there known issues with App Store crashing on iPad?
Are there known issues with App Store crashing when trying to update apps on iPad 2 with ios6?
Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors
http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-tips-tricks/best-fixes-for-cannot-connect-to-itunes- store-errors/
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 works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

I also think it may have to do with the fact that i dropped it...
When i try to connect to my yahoo email via the Mail thingy, it will say "user name or password for apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect even though my yahoo password and user name is correct. I know because if i were to het my username or password wrong, it would tell me "user name or password for *insert my email* is incorrect".Charsiew wrote:

This is copied from your first post. Am I reading this wrong? Aren't you saying that you are getting a message that the username and password are incorrect? That's why I asked another the word apple in the name. I don't use Yahoo mail that may in fact be correct but I'm just checking,
IF you are getting a message that the username and password are incorrect.....
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional. -
Hi, my email is saying that there is issue with I cloud. Any ideas?
Hi, my email is saying that there is issue with I cloud. Any ideas?
There is a server issue with iCloud email right now effecting some users (see http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/). You'll just have to wait until they get things fixed again.
Hotmail doesn't use iCloud's mail servers so it wouldn't be effected by this. -
I've read where there are issues with the Nest and Airport Extreme (AE)? Is AE used in the Time Capsule?
If so, i already have a wi-fi router, so can the Time Capsule simply be used for wireless backup instead of as a router if there is conflict?A TC is fundamentally a AE with a sata chip included to drive the hard disk. Some slightly different bios to include disk functions, although most of those are also on the AE. So as a router it is 99.999% identical.
And yes, if you have another router you can easily bridge the TC and use wireless for backups and internet connection. Once you no longer route through the TC the issues with most NAT problems including port forwarding should disappear.. mostly this is due to all apple routers using NAT-PMP instead of upnp which is the near universal standard for opening ports.. without upnp apple keep their routers more exclusive.
