Long lag for email addresses to pop up

This seems like it just started with my iPad mini but when sending mail it seems to be taking and uncomfortably long time for the list of possible recipients to show up in mail. To be more specific, when typing in an email address in the To: field there is a long lag between typing a name and the iPad doing a search of contacts to give a list of possible recipients. This lag is definitely much longer than on my iPhone 5 and feels longer than it was on my iPad 3. Anyone else notice this? I don't think it is a setting issue since my mini was set up with an iPad backup.

I don't think its a setting issue either since there is not setting to control it.
Have you tried quitting the mail app and reboot the iPad? That might reduce the lag.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot 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.

Hello tcnolen1,
It sounds like you are trying to change the Apple ID logged into the iTunes & App Stores on your iPhone. Use these steps:
Changing your Apple ID account
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.

I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
CHANGE ID
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
The ID is used in the following locations and you have to change them.
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
Settings>iCloud
and Settings>iTunes and App store
You have to sign out of ID (for iCloud you delete the iCloud account from the iPod) and sign in with other ID.
Note the following are resolved if you use Family Sharing (iOS 8 and later):
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

You might want to rethink your thoughts about making transferring authority easier. Making it too easy would certainly degrade your account's security. If you still believe it should be easier, you can send feedback directly to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
You will not get a response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people will see your input for consideration in FaceTime product development.

"Enter the Yahoo! password for [my yahoo email address]" keeps popping up on my Mac desktop

A pop-up window "Enter the Yahoo! password for [my yahoo email address]" keeps popping up on my Mac desktop (Leopard OS) every few hours. This has happened for the past year and only happens on my MacPro desktop, never on other laptops/computer. Does anyone have solution please ?

Ok !! I think I finally found the trouble of this !! I went crazy that every 5 seconds I had to fill in my password for my yahoo account om Apple Mail. My computer is in another language so I'll try to translate as good as possible the buttons and so ..
So these are the steps required:
You need to give computer access to the password of Yahoo.com. How to do so ?
You go to the application "Key Chain" that is included in your MacBook Pro.
Then you go to the first tab that should say something with "Login/Session" and you should see all your saved passwords.
Scroll down to the saved password of "Yahoo: your-username @ ...
Click on it, you should see a window opening
Go to the tab "Access Control"
Then click on "Allow all applications to connect .. ", NOT the option "Ask every time for allowance" or you can also just add the program "MAIL" with the "+" icon !!
There you go, now you should not have to worry again !!!!!!
Hope it helps people !!!

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password. I feel like I'm going in circles!!! Please help!!!

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account). You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I have tried to log into my old account in itunes, but it won't let me.
What do I do?

I found the answer that works for me. (This information was not on Apple's website for troubleshooting this problem.)
In Safari, (I use Firefox only) cookies must be enabled. I never knew there was a connection between iTunes and Safari until now.

If you can't get it reset via that page then try contacting Support in your country and see if they can reset it for you : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

Autocomplete for email addresses not working

I upgraded two laptops to Mountain Lion today (2010 Macbook Air, 2008 Macbook Pro). Everything seems to work ok so far, except for the fact that Mail no longer autocompletes my email addresses. Also, when I send an email, the recipient doesn't show up in the "previous recipients" or the "address panel" windows, and it will not autocomplete even though I just sent an email to that address.
From what I can tell, Mail is not accessing the Contacts app, and the old database of email recipients was deleted during the upgrade. This is occurring on two separate machines, updated independently. So right now, Mail is largely useless--I have to either type in an entire email address, or open Contact and click on an email address. NO WAY! I installed Sparrow, and it works flawlessly. Looks like another bug...
Can someone please advise how to force Mail to access my address book (or import my addresses). Mail is activated for iCloud, as is the address book.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks, Kevin

I've been having the exact same problem but I've figured it out.
On my previous OSX version (Snow Leopard) I synced my Calendars and Contacts between my work and home computer via Dropbox. What I did was create a symbolic link for these two folders:
:: <user>/Library/Calendars and
:: <user>/Library/Application Suppport/Address Book
...linking to folders inside <user>/Dropbox where the data was stored and synced between the two computers.
I have now replaced the symbolic links with the actual data/folders and everything is back to normal with Mail accessing my Contacts.
If you are having a similar issue, make sure to close Mail and Contacts applications and COPY the data back, so that you have a backup of your data if something doesn't work. I turned off iCloud when I did this but not sure if that's neccessary.
Hope it helps.

It might be logical to someone, but not to me. I agree it's a pain.
How did you change your Apple ID? Creating a new one is not what you want to do, but if you changed the ID associated with your purchases then that might have worked. You would need to sign in with the Apple ID on both your iPod Touch as well as in iTunes. I'm not sure how you changed it but clearly they need to match.
If it's just your password that is not getting recognized reset it here: http://iforgot.apple.com/
It will send an email confirmation to the email address associated with that Apple ID. The email address you elect to use might not look anything like your Apple ID. If you don't appear to get an email check your spam filter.
