Mail says that it can't connect to my Yahoo! Mail account

This has happened quite frequently to me recently: my Mail account on my Mac will randomnly say that it "Can't connect to the account Yahoo!" which is my primary email account. It will then have me enter my password to my Yahoo! Mail account. This is rather annoying, and I was wondering how I can get this to stop.

I experience the same issue. I am in contact with apple support who have as yet not been able to resolve the problem. To receive mail on my mac I first have to log into yahoo.com via a browser and then I can return to apple mail where mail sending and receiving works for a few minutes. After some time the connection between apple mail and yahoo.com breaks (even though I remain logged into yahoo.com) and I can no longer send and receive mail from my mac. I then have to log out and back in again to yahoo.com for the mail to again work in apple mail. This have been an issue since late June.

I frequently receive a notice from Mail that it "can't connect" to my yahoo mail account, despite the fact that I can receive mail from that account. The banner appears with my coded password highlighted and asks me to choose 'cancel' or 'ok'.

I frequently receive a notice from Mail that it 'can't connect' to my Yahoo account despite the fact that I am able to receive mail from that account. It appears with the name of my Yahoo account, my password (coded), and the choice to 'cancel' or 'ok'. If I click either, the banner goes away but comes back soon. I can open Mail and see that all accounts are online. I get the banner SEVERAL time during a session - very annoying!
I have several accounts, but this only happens with Yahoo and sometimes Hotmail. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this Mail issue?
Thanks.

I have 5 IMAP and 1 POP (Hotmail).
The Yahoo is IMAP.

TS3682 I have tried to restore me iPod that is disabled due to typing in the wrong password too many times. iTunes keeps giving me a box saying that it can't connect because I need to type in the passcode on the iPod (which I can't) what do I do now?

I have followed the steps provided by apple to restore an iPod touch. It is disabled due to having the wrong password entered too many times. When I get part way through the restore process on my computer it pops up a box saying that it can't restore until I enter the passcode into the iPod. I have tried this same process over 5 times now and keep gutting the same results. It is my kids iPod and he has only had it since September. Someone please help me before I throw the thing through the window and my kid strangles me!!! Thanks!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Receiving error message on mac saying that iCloud can't connect to my account

I keep getting an error message on my Mac when it wakes from sleep that iCloud can't connect to my @me.com email address. It directs me to a link in system preferences, but everything appears fine there. My backups to my iPad and iPhone appear to be working fine. Any ideas? I'm not even sure that my Mac is connecting and syncing with iCloud at this time.

To me, it seems as though you have not SAVED your yahoo email password in your keychain... And because of this, everytime Mail is trying to fetch your email, probably every 10 mins, it has to ask for your password because it doesn't have it. You would have to enter it every time the program asks the server if there is new email. You can go into the settings for your account and add the password, assuming its not already there. If you add it to the account keychain you would not have to enter it again. The settings can be found in the preferences tab. Select your yahoo account and add the password in the box below your user name. When you close the window out, it will ask you if you want to save the settings. Click yes. This should fix your issue.

My contacts will not appear on my computer and when I go to the webpage for Icloud, it says there is an error and that I can't connect to the server. (which may have something to do with the facts that my contacts have disappeared.)

The iphone is not a storage device.
The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception being itunes purchases.
You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

Why can't I buy an In-APP purchase? It says that I can not connect to the iTunes Store and that I will have to contact iTunes Store Support.

Hey everyone
With my iPhone 4S I purchased the NAVIGON Europe App, downloaded needed files and maps within the App and all worked fine. But when I try to buy certain add-ons via In-App purchase I get a window telling me that it can'T connect to the iTunes store and that I have to contact iTunes store support.
This is what I have already tried to make it work:
Reset my iphone via iTunes (set it up as new iPhone)
Changed itunes store payment option from Click&Buy to credit card
restarted iPhone several times
scratched my head
checked restrictions under settings in iPhone: all is correct; in-App purchases allowed
chewed my lip
finally sent a message to the itunes store support.. waiting for their answer
no changes so far. I still get the same error message.
Any ideas?
hugs

I can not connect to my home Wi-fi. I put the wrong passcode in severall times and now it says that I am not able to use my home internet. How do I get back to the place where I can put in the correct passcode and connect. Not sure what to do and really don't want to take my phone back to sprint.

Click the blue button next to the wifi name, then hit Forget Network.
Then try to connect again and use correct password.

When I hook my iPhone 5s to my computer iTunes says that it can't connect I need 11.0.5

When I hook my iPhone 5s to my computer iTunes says that it cant connect I need 11.0.5 well I just downloaded iTunes to my computer like 3 days ago so I redownloaded the newest version on Apple.com and I reinstalled it and gave me the same error. Any suggestions?

Try going to this address (it is Apple). It will detect your operating system and suggest the version you want. I too am on Windows and it correctly selected the 64bit version of 11.1

Getting Yahoo customer service is "yahoo no service"

My problem got solved (probably just a fluke)
When I first got the new phone I used the cloud to restore it and everything except the yahoo mail got restored.
Recently I CONNECTED DIRECTLY to my computer and to Itunes and synced. Magically my Yahoo e-mail came back.
As I said I don't know if it was a fluke but it is certainly worth a try
Good Luck and let me know if it worked
