"Mail account" is missing in iTunes 9

I just downloaded the newest version of iTunes. In the previous version, under "Info" there was a section that displayed the default mail account.... something like [email protected] This was important as I have more than 1 mail account on my computer. With this upgrade, that information is missing. The only place I see it is if I click along the top on 'Store' and there's a line that reads "View my Account ([email protected])" Is it no longer within the iTunes software??

Perhaps we're not talking about the same thing. When my touch is plugged in, I go into itunes, into the 'Info' section. Within 'Info', there is a section entitled "Sync Mail Accounts From:". On my pc, there is a choice of Outlook or Outlook Express. Below that in a box it reads 'Selected Mail Accounts' and it lists my default mail account. It is that account that it reads information for my contacts, note, etc. So that is the Mail Account I'm talking about.

Iphone 4 saves wrong password for mail accounts

Every time I put the right password in on my mail accounts and now my itunes acount in icloud the password changes to the same 8 letter password that is not the password.. it changes to this password for everything! as soon as I put the right one in and back out then go back in it changes the password back to the wrong 8 letter password.. what is causing this and how can I fix it? my mail won't send through sometimes and I cannot get icloud to to even work to back up files.. it has been like this for a long time, even before the new os 5.. I have done a complete reset, deleted the mail accounts and all that.. nothing has worked.. please help!

Hope you found an answer to this problem because I'm still having this problem!
..they ask to update your password and then it just reverts to this 8 digit mystery password?
What is the problem with these passwords?

Problem syncing updated Mail accounts to iPod Touch

I updated all my Mail accounts to IMAPs, but iTunes still syncs the old POP account information to the Touch. So when using Mail on my iPod Touch, the settings are old from POP, and on my Mac, Mail is perfectly fine with new IMAP settings. How can I make iTunes realize that those POP settings do not exist anymore and all my accounts are now IMAPs and to sync them to the Touch accordingly?

Thank you both for the suggestion but..., the information that HerelsTom is suggesting, and the website that IIIaass is sharing a link too, I have already tried, (it was the first thing I found and tried). I reorganized the photos in the order I want by re-saving each photo in order so the Date Modified would be in descending order, and the order that I wanted, but it didn't work.
Should I go to the Apple store and ask?

Sync Mail Account checkbox grayed out

When connecting my brand new iPhone 3GS, the mail account sync option in iTunes 9.1 cannot be selected (the checkbox is greyed out - the rest of sync options works). This happens on different macbooks, and it seems not to depend on the specific sim provider. Is it a common issue?

Make sure that Settings > General > Restrictions > Accounts is not set to Don't Allow Changes

Are you logged into your Admin. Account or to a Guest Account that does not have access to the things your missing?

I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones

Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
cheers
Tom

They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
Not a great solution.
Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

I just purchased a new iMac. My iTunes account is missing a ton of music and I cant figure out how to access it. When I try to load music from my ipod to match my imac it only asks if i'd like to sink my ipod with my account. How do I access my library?

I just purchased a new iMac. My iTunes account is missing a ton of music and only contains "purchased" music. When I try to load music from my ipod to match my imac it only asks if i'd like to sinc my ipod with my account. How do I access my entire library? Thanks

Unless you subscribe to Match, you will have to transfer your non-iTunes stuff from your old computer:

If you want to copy non-iTunes music off of your iPod (eg, if your old computer doesn't exist), you'll need to use a third party program. I don't know of any free ones anymore, but if you google, you can find several in the $19 range.

Cannot add a new email account, and hence icloud account. When i go into Settings - Mail, accounts, calendars, the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud Settings ghosted (unclickable). Cannot change in itunes also.

Cannot add a new email account, and hence i have no way of creating an iCloud account (very frustrating). I had the same problem with iOS 4.3 but i had no email account to create as i set both up when i bought the iPhone 4. After adding a company email and a gmail account (both wok perfectly) i noticed that the option to create more email accounts had been ghosted (unclickable). This didn't worry me at the time. However, iCloud needs me to create one in here so i can access the cloud which i desperately want the ability to do. When i go into Settings -> Mail, accounts, calendars, the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud in the iPhone Settings ghosted (unclickable). I have same problem in itunes on Mac OSX. Surely restoring isn't the solution as i restored my iphone when changing from iOS 4.3 -> 5. Please help?

Go to
Settings,
General,
Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add your email account as per norm.
Hope this helps.

Sync outlook mail account from the infotab in Itunes

Hi!
I have selectet my outlook mailaccount from the infotab in Itunes, and expected it to appere in Mail on my Iphone. But even if it shows how many unread mails I have got, I can not find them.
When I open Mail it is like I have no mailaccount ready. I have to select i.e. exchange, hotmail, gmail etc. Did it not sync properly?
Do I need to set up a imap or pop3 account to connect to my mail anyway? Contacts and calender sync's like a charm!
Best regards

Hi jmknight,
When you disable contact syncing or delete a mail account from the phone, the data that is removed from the phone is ONLY that data that was synced from that account. So if you previously had [email protected] added to the phone and had contacts synced from that account, those contacts will not be removed from the phone when you delete [email protected] from the phone. Additionally, it will not ever delete the contacts from the mail server itself (they will still be accessible at hotmail.com through webmail), rather it just un-syncs the contacts from the phone.
I hope this helps!

I have two e-mail accounts. A lot of my content is with the older account which is deactivated. How do I get iTunes to recognize this content?

Authorize the computer for the account.
Content is permanently tied to the account it was acquired wtih.

Mail accounts not showing up when in iTunes.

I'm trying to rearrange the order of my (5) mail accounts by following directions found on a post titled "How to change order of mail accounts in iPhone 4 mail app". One of the steps involves viewing and modifying the list of mail accounts while in iTunes.
As I mentioned I have 5 mail accounts, two mobile me, two yahoo and one gmail. All are active and I receive and send on them with my phone regularly. Only one of my Mobile Me accounts shows up in the list in the iTunes window.
Anyone have suggestions?

Syncing calendar events direct with Outlook via the iTunes sync process is not associated with an email account.
Syncing calendar events direct with Outlook via the iTunes sync process is separate from transferring the email account settings for an email account or accounts from your computer to the iPhone's Mail app, which only needs to be done once to transfer the email account settings to your iPhone followed by deselecting this.
Deselecting an email account under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes after the email account settings have been transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync does not delete the email account from your iPhone.
Deselect this under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by selecting Apply and then delete the account from the iPhone's Mail app that you don't want to access on your iPhone.

Only 1 of my Mail accounts in mail.app won't show up in itunes!?

Hi,
So I have three email accounts in mail.app. 1 mobileme, 1 IMAP, and 1 Exchange. The MobileMe and the IMAP will show up in my mail accounts list in itunes, but my Exchange account doesn't show up. I was able to manually create the exchange account on my iPhone, so it's not a huge deal, but still... any ideas?
Thank,
Lou Teti

lou tetl,
The list in iTunes under the Info tab is the list of accounts you can transfer the settings for from your computer directly to the iPhone.
It is not a list of the accounts on the iPhone, or a list of all accounts on your computer.
Hope this helps,

I get an error message saying itunes could not sync mail accounts. because the mail accounts are in use by the iPhone. It asks that i close the mail accounts settings on the iPhone and sync again. Is it requesting that i delete my email accounts?
