Mail and password: Help please!!!

I have changed my password and on my iPhone and iPad there is no problem. However, on my iMac, 10.8.2 every time I put the computer to sleep and then wake it up again Mail tells me to verify my password. I press OK but it refuses to accept and I am forced to go to System Preferences, then mail where I press OK for the same password and the whole thing then works.
In Yahoo it works perfectly!
What is happening in Mail. I have deleted the account in preferences and set it up again but all to no avail.
Help please!!!

You might try the following steps:
Restart the device by holding down the on/off button until the power down slider appears.
Try entering your password in another location (i.e. when you are using a different wifi network)
Reset all settings (settings > general > reset), this resets some of your settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It does not remove any of your data.
Try signing out of iCloud and back in (only if find my phone is disabled)
If this doesn’t help your best option may be to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

Yahoo mail and hotmail help, please!

I have OS X 10.5.8, and for few days I have been unable to log into yahoo mail and hotmail. i can open the login homepage and then get "Safari can’t open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again." after entering login and password. i checked for updates, and it says i have all current updates. after reasearching this, i tried turning ipv6 off and having no proxies checked, but it didn't help. I deleted cookies (and checked to always allow cookies), emptied cache, restarted, and nothing. I don't use the mail application on my computer, i just log in to these sites with safari. sometimes i have been able to get into yahoo and do a few things, but then i get a page that fails to open sooner rather than later. i can get to most other pages, though i have been getting the same message frequently for some other pages, more so than normal. not sure what my options are or what changed even, but i just want to be able to sign into mail. thanks for any help.

You can also try downloading a different browser and see if the problem still exists, I have never had this problem, and I have Yahoo, there have many issues with them, that I thought were at my end, but then they would come back with, oh we changed this that is why I mentioned this.
You can try with this and see if the problem still happens and this might suggest the former.
If nothing else this would also help as a diagnostic tool.

How do i replace/erase the ID of the previous owner of my iMac Mini in the Apps Store with my own Apple ID.All attempts to erase the previous owners I(D are unsuccessful.Can anyone out there please help? Many thanks.

You are NOT allowed to assume or take over or merge the previous Owner's Apple ID Account with yours. The Apps and media that that Owner bought in the Mac Store and iTunes Store were solely for his use and CANNOT under the Terms of Use for Apple be transferred to or used by anyone else. You'll have to purchase new anything you want to use from the Store. And you will Not be able to Update any Apple Apps he left on the Mac. Sorry, but those are the rules.

I bought an iPod but dont have the email address and password, Help please.

I bought an old iPod touch. It has loads of music and games on it.. When I connect it to my PC and it goes off to iTunes, it cant find the iPod and asks for a password. I would just like to have it reset so that I can add it to my account and get some of my music on it.
Is there any way to get it reset and then registered on my accoount please.
I also have an iPad and an iPhone, and this would just be an extra.
Thanks in anticipation.

Connect the iPod to your computer and restore tot factory settings/new iPod via iTuns. See:
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
You may have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode to allow the restore. If that does not work try DFU mode and restore.

Hi Ishrak,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are trying to log into with your Apple ID, or what exactly you are seeing (alert message, directions, etc) when you try to do so. If you continue to have issues with your Apple ID, you may find one or more of the articles linked from the following page helpful:

Lost mail and password however I am still logged n...

Please I lost both mail and password, I never purchased anything from Skype. However I am still logged on my iPad I don't want to lose this account. Please help me with this.

You need to switch of Find My iPhone with her Apple ID & password.
If you no longer have your iOS device
If you didn't follow the steps above before selling or giving away your iOS device:
Ask the new owner to erase all content and settings as described above.
If you're using iCloud and Find My iPhone on the device, you can erase the device remotely and remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account. After you erase the device, you'll need to wait 24 hours before you can activate iMessage on your new device.
If you're unable to complete either of the above steps, you should change your Apple ID password. Changing your password won't remove any personal information that is cached on the device, but it will make sure that the new owner can't delete your information from iCloud.
Deregister iMessage if you're switching to a non-Apple phone.
If you're using Apple Pay, you can also remove your credit or debit cards at iCloud.com. Just choose Settings to see which devices are using Apple Pay, then click your device and click Remove next to Apple Pay.

I am trying to link my PC to my Mac and Iphone and I pad. I can't use my Itunes account on my PC - when I try and enter Icloud on my computer i get a server error after I put in my e-mail and password.

Question - Trying to use Icloud on a PC - I get a server error after I put in my e-mail and password. Why? I can sync up all my devices from Itunes with my MaC, Iphone and IPad but I can't do it with my PC

I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

We just bought two IPhone5C's and tried to retire our info from old phones to the new. The problem is my phone showed my husband's e mail and password under I cloud and his showed mine! Crazy..we did not dare to restore as we thought we would get each oth

We bought two new I Phones 5c...and we went to restore from the cloud but we did not feel comfortable because his phone showed MY Cloud e mail and password and HIS phone showed my e mail and asked for my password.. we were afraid that we would backup each others info on the wrong phone? Wonder how to straighten this out with the Cloud...help?

You would really have to ask the app developer if there is a way to export the data.
As for adding a printer, you would need to purchase an AirPrint compatible printer and connect it to your wireless network.
By the way, your holiday letter/rant/Idon't even know what to call it... is completely inappropriate for these forums.

"Catch 22": new e-mail and password on iCloud

Hi,
I'm in a "catch 22"-situation.
Background:
I am using iCloud on my mac, iPhone and iPad.
I changed my e-mail address and my password for my iCloud account.
I deleted the iCloud account on my iPhone and reentered the iCloud account with the new e-mail address and password without problems.
Problem:
I want to delete the iCloud account on my iPad as well, but I can't. In order to delete it, I have to type in the password to my previous iCloud account e-mail (which I changed to a new e-mail address). None of the passwords (neither the old one or the new one) works. I only have the option of using the old e-mail address as log on (the e-mail address field is grey and cannot be edited in the log-on pop-up window).
I have tried to change the e-mail address and password back to the previous status before I made the change, but it doesn't matter. Neither passwords work and I am not able to do anything with the e-mail address in the log-on window.
It seems that I am caught between a rock and a hard place. I probably should have deleted the iCloud account on my devices (iPhone and iPad) before I changed the e-mail and password for the iCloud account, but I didn't.... As I mentioned, it worked on the iPhone, but it does not work on the iPad.
Is there anyone capable of helping me out of this "catch 22"? I would be very grateful.
Thank you so much in advance.
Kris

Go to Settings>Store and sign out of existing account and into the other one.
