Mail works on my other apple products but not my iMac - how do I fix that?

I cannot download my mail on my iMac but I can on my MacAir, iPhone and iPad. I have a gmail account. I have tried to delete and add account but it just downloads email from a couple of days ago and no recent email.
Any ideas?

This forum is for the long-discontinued eMacs, not iMacs. If you do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and tell us what that says about your processor and your OSX version, we can ask teh Hosts to move you to the appropriate iMac forum for your version.
In About this Mac, the two red arrows I've added to the image below point to the information we need to know:

Do you have a valid credit card associated with the account? If so then I would contact iTunes

trying to video chat on Facebook and Skype but they both don't work with the camera people can just hear me

There is a certain minimum data rate your Internet service must support to do Video.
The little pilot light next to the camera will come on when the camera comes on. You can test out the camera with Photo Booth.

I already have an iTunes account but need to open a new one as I have many apple products but am limited to how many I can use my iTunes account on. How do I open a new one please. Thanks

Hi I already have an itunes account registered to my address and email address.
The problem is, I have many apple products but i'm limited to how many products I can use one itunes account for.
How do I open a new itunes account for the same address please.
Thanks for your help.
Sam

Well, you can probably do it, but then you also have to buy the products again to use them from the other account since they cannot be transferred or shared between accounts. So if you have 7 computers and want the same movie authorized on all of them, you'll have to buy the movie twice and then authorize some devices on one account and others on the other.
Do you really have >5 devices, or is it just that you have a lot of devices authorized that no longer exist but are tying up authorization slots? If that's the case, you can deauthorize things.

I have no idea how to do multiple accounts but you may need to create a new e-mail address (plenty of free ones out there).

Connection to Apple products but not windows

Just as the title says. I can connect my mac, iPads and work laptop via my apple phone but cannot link laptops directly to the internet via wi fi if they are not Apple. Why is this?

You are not explaining your problem very well.
Are you using 3G, a BTWifi hotspot or using a BT Internet connection via a BT Homehub?
Are you tethering your devices to your iPhone so that they can connect to the Internet?

When I send an Imessage to other's who have iMessage my e-mail adress pop's up instead of my name.. How can I fix that?

They would have to have your name in their contacts and then assign your email address to your contact. It's similar to receiving a regular text message from a phone number you do not have saved in your contacts; their phone number will show up instead of their name, but once you add them to your contacts their name will show up.

HT201272 I would like to download previous itune purchases on my I-Phone 4. Everytime I plug my phone into the computer it says apple mobile device not started. How do I fix this?

I want to download my previous purchases from my computer to my IPhone 4. Everytime I plug my phone into my computer it says Apple mobile devices service is not started. How do I fix this?

Hello EFierro79,
I find it easiest to download my purchases directly to my iPhone. You don't even need to connect your iPhone to iTunes. As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the items, you will not be charged.
You can find the steps to do this under the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on iOS" in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Additionally, you can follow the steps in the article below to resolve the error "This [device] cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started."

HT3702 Trying to purchase a book and it keeps saying your apple account has been disabled. How do I fix that

Trying to purchase a book. Get a pop up screen that says "your Apple ID has been disabled". How can I fix that

You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

How can I view DVD's that I dubbed from old vhs tapes? I finalized them and can play on other DVD players but not my IMac. Is there a specific program?

I dubbed DVD's from old VHS tapes. I finalized them and can play tehm on differant DVD players, but on my IMac I can't play them. Ultimately I want to create home movies with pics, but how can I play the DVD's?

A DVD is a DVD, unless it's been authored in a non-standard way. When you insert it in your Mac, do you at least see the disk appear on the desktop? Does it have a VIDEO_TS folder in it, containing various files?
If you open DVD Player manually (from the Applications folder), does it see it and start playing? If not, try downloading VLC (free) and see if that works.
