My email will not connect when i am connected to wifi

When my iPhone4 is connected to my wifi network at home or my office, it will no longer connect to mail. I just get the spinning circle, and "Checking for mail..." message. I've had this for 11.5 months, and it's always been connected to my wifi at home. It's been connected to my wifi at work for about 2 months--I never had this problem until last night.
But--it did not do this at the Apple store (their wifi didn't have password protection--maybe that's the difference???).
Anyway--iMessage still works (as does my wifi iPad); and I can send and receive emails from my Xfinity app.
Help?

I did determine that it is NOT related to password protected wifi. 2 different Apple Stores, and no solution yet...

Try this first - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Exchange email will not work when offline

Anyone know when Apple will fix this issue? Email will not work correctly unless connected to wireless. This makes it impossible to be productive while flying. This is exclusive to exchange servers as it woks on POP accounts.

I know that. When I work on my laptop I can file, reply, delete etc. and when I land it updates all the folders and sends and recevies all the mail. the iPad will not let you file or delete emails unless connected. This makes flying time completely unproductive. If I have to have a laptop to do email why have an iPad???

Itunes will not start when ipod is connected

3G nano ipod when connected to windows xp,, Windows Expoler opens and shows ipod as "M" drive. But itunes starts only when I click icon on my desktop and dose not start when ipod is connected. When itunes runs it sees my ipod and all works fine. I have the box under Devices checked to start itunes when ipod connected. Thanks for your help

Hello Loggroller,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you talking about the *Open iTunes when this iPod is connected* option from under your iPod's Summary tab? If not, make sure you have this option ticked as well.
It might not hurt to try and remove and re-install iTunes and all Apple related software using these instructions.

Emails will not send - Mail can't connect to the a...

After having no issues with sending emails for years suddenly I am continually getting the following meassge when trying to send emails. Eventually after putting this password in up to twenty times the email will send.
The message is:
Mail can't connect to the account "mail.btinternet.com:[email protected]" Enter the password for user "[email protected]"
This is happening on all of our computers: Macbook Pro, Macbook Air and Imac and started about 2 weeks ago. It occurs for every sent email.
Any ideas on how to stop this?

MatM wrote:
I have logged into Bt.com and there is no issues there. Sent an email from there an it was received.
Also spent 2 long hours sharing a screen with someone from BT who obviously didn't know what they were doing as they did not even look in the MAIL preferences.
This is the error message we receive:
The server “mail.btinternet.com” cannot be contacted on the default ports.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
Any reason why there server can't be reached. We have been using these settings for years without issue?
Thanks

Hi.
What port is set in your smtp account ?
It could be that your whole account has now been transferred to Critical Path - you can tell this from logging into webmail via bt.com - if it doesn't say BT Yahoo in the title area, you've been transferred and should alter the settings.
This will, of course, probably cause issues for 100s of 1000s of people. An email should have been received titled "The new BT Mail is coming your way", and gives some details including a link of what to do to various devices and mail clients :-

Emails will not send when out of UK

I have two 'normal' email accounts (BT and another provider) and a mobile me account, all set up on my iP3G, and my incoming and outgoing emails seem to work pretty well in the UK, either via WiFi connection or otherwise (3G, Edge etc).
BUT when I travel to Europe (France, Belgium so far) my emails just will not send, whether connected by WiFi or via the local phone carrier. I can receive emails OK, but they won't go out. I have tried the trick of including the outgoing server of my UK carrier (O2) as an additional server for each of the accounts, and putting all the outgoing server details on all the accounts as fallbacks, but still no joy.
I've tried referring to Apple website's UK email server details page, but this seems to have contradictions in it, with server details differing from those given by O2 and BT. Who is right?
This is seriously limiting my 3G's usefulness as a business device, as I'm still effectively isolated when abroad. Is there something like port numbers that I need to change, or have I missed something simple (which I'm quite happy to accept!!)?
Cheers
CB

One account is Yahoo! and you are not allowed to change the config - Apple has it all set up for you (host name not shown just text alias "Yahoo! SMTP Server" though it is something like smtp.yahoo.com or mail.smtp.yahoo.com - I could check this online through Yahoo! mail help but I wouldn't rule out Apple having a separate server with Yahoo!). For what it's worth SSL is OFF, Authentication; Password, and Server Port = 0.
The other account is my personal business exchange account (Fasthost.com). Hostname is exchange.xxx.co.uk, and SSL is ON (Fasthost requires it). I do not see anywhere I could set Authentication password or Server Port. I also have Domain set as EXCHANGE. Presumably because it is EXCHANGE and not SMTP?
It seems that I have a separate config because I am using Exchange. You may be on to something - could be in your mail setup.

Computer will not boot when iPod is connected

Hi everyone,
First time Mac user here, so I'm not very experienced when it comes to troubleshooting - there may be a very simple fix for this, but I've searched online and come up with nothing so far.
I've recently bought a 20" Intel-based iMac (Core 2 Duo). I'm using Boot Camp (1.1.2 Beta) to dual boot with Windows. I already owned a 30gb iPod, which has previously been used with a Windows laptop. The iPod has disk mode enabled as I use it for transporting data as well as music and video.
Now that I'm using the iMac as my main comptuer, I keep the iPod docked & connected whenever I'm not out of the house in order to keep it charged & synchronised. However, if the iMac has to restart for any reason (like switching between Mac OS and Windows, or rebooting after a system update), it will not continue booting after making the chime sound. The screen remains white, holding the option key does not display the Boot Camp menu, and no matter how long it's left like this it will not continue to boot either OS. Pressing the Power button causes the computer to immediately switch off. Turning it on again after removing the iPod from the dock results in it booting normally.
Has anyone had any similar experiences?
Thanks

hi xJamez
Welcome to Discussions
Because you said you use the iPod as an external hard drive, I am going to assume that it's not a nano, shuffle, or mini. What I suspect is that the computer is trying to boot from the iPod because the iPod actually has a hard drive in it, and the iMac thinks that it's an external hard drive that it can boot from. In the future, I would disconnect the iPod before each time you shut-down or restart your iMac.
Hope this Helps

TS3274 ipad will not charge when USB cord connected to PC or socket.

When i plug the USB cord to either electrical socket or computer. ipad will not charge. Says NOT CHARGING. Please HELP.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Is there any final answer to why emails will not send when away from home IP? Have san diego road runner. emails send fine from home, but do not send when using another IP.

Is there a final answer to why emails do not send from iphones when away from home IP?

This is a common anti-spam technique for ISPs to prevent mail from being sent from anywhere other than your service location. Ask Road Runner if there are any specific settings you can use to circumvent this.

ITunes will not launch when iPod is connected

I've been having a problem over the last several days where iTunes will bounce a couple of times in the Dock, the black triangle appears below the Dock icon, but no window opens up and eventually iTunes shows that it's not responding. I am unable to force quit or kill it in Activity Monitor, and it prevents logging out, restarting or shutting down. I can kill it from the Terminal, and it immediately disappears from 'top' but takes several minutes to disappear from Activity Monitor or to lose the black triangle in the Dock. Trashing the plists for iTunes does not help, and Preferential Treatment and TinkerTool System both report that all is well. I ran the full suite of TechTool Pro tests, as well as directory maintenance and defragging. I also ran the maintenance tasks, disk optimization and pre-binding in TinkerTool System. I've repaired permissions with Disk Utility. iTunes appears to be working normally and without issue in my wife's user. Finally, after reading a post here, I tried unplugging my wife's iPod Shuffle before opening iTunes, and lo and behold, iTunes popped right up. If I connect it after starting iTunes, it's detected as normal.
So, my shotgun ammo is exhausted. Anybody have any idea what would cause my user to be unable to open iTunes when an iPod is connected, but the same works just fine with my wife's user?

Nobody ever solved this

I hate to be a "me too'er", but... Me too! I took it back to apple a week after I got this brand new iMac and couldn't believe that it wouldn't boot up. We reinstalled Leopard, did a hardware check, and talked about everything imaginable that could be wrong. Why would the "grey screen of death" keep killing my boot up? It dawned on me that every time it happened my connected iPod would light up and show the "do not disconnect" screen-- the only sign of life coming from my computer. As I had that realization, I disconnected my iPod and immediately the apple came on and the boot up went lightning fast... I think this should be driving a lot of people crazy--- shouldn't it? The genius at apple didn't say anything about it, and I know he's been around a long time. kind of disturbing that this isn't a totally well known issue.

Clicking on a link in an open email will not connect me to the site?

Clicking on a link in an open email will not connect me to the site?

That is an Unsafe practice. What is shows YOU for the link is not necessarily where you will be sent when you click.
That is how spammers get malware onto your Mac.
It is tedious, but you should get in the habit of re-typing any links you need.

2) Check the Music tab sttings on this page (included albums for sync).
3) Check the free space on your device!

Try double clicking your home button then force close the stuck PDF by swiping upward. Once you've done that just click the home button again to exit.
