My icloud e-mail won't come online.  Keeps telling me there's a user/password error

I'm trying to bring my email online but I keep getting the same messge that icloud can't connect.  When I run online doctor, it says the connection to the internet is good but all the red dots have a user/password error.  I've gone through every password/user combo i've ever used and no dice.  All of this didnt' start happening until I installed mountain lion.  How do I fix this?

Your talking about the network preferences? Delete all those red dots.. (minus sign) then just put what you need back (plus sign). If you are wireless... then choose wifi. If you have an eithernet cable connected to your computer choose eithernet. Also to the right of those "red lights" There is something that says Location. Select Edit locations then press the plus sign and call it Automatic 2. Then delete all the other locations including the one that says Automatic. Then just rename the Automatic 2 back to Automatic.

  • Hey i can not log in to my icloud account to find my iPhone online its telling me that my email or password is incorrect but i am typing them both in correct

    hey I cant log into my icloud account to find my phone hits telling me my password is wrong but isnt the same as the apple id and password how to i get access to my icloud

    Hmm when you enter the password are you sure you are putting in the capital letter as this is a requirement for a password.
    Also go to this website: https://appleid.apple.com
    Select Manage your Apple ID and see if you can sign in with the details you have been trying to use. If it fails again then you will need to try resetting the password.

  • HT1277 Mail won't come in unless I open and close mail each time! help!

    Mail won't come in unless restart "mail" each time.  IMAP cox trying to setup new email addresses....connection doctor shows mail checked and 'light' is green but mail will not display until restarting.  I know there is a simple solution, just can't see what it is! Can anyone help? I tend to make things more difficult than I need to!

    Okay, I solved the problem... FINALLY!!! Added "pop" to my email address when re-setting up account in Mail. This allowed me to set it up as a pop account and all works well!! Problem "Solved"!!

  • Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go.

    Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go. I've connected the printer directly to my MacBook's USB port and it works fine. Any suggestions?

    I have an iP4500, which I assume is quite similar to your model.
    I had to reset the printing system to get things printing again. Only takes a few minutes and no problems at all since I did it a week ago or so.
    Plug the printer into the USB port on the Express and restart the printer.
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Print and Fax
    Right-Click in the printer area on the left and select Reset Printing System
    Then click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list to install the printer again.

  • My mail won't open and keeps on "not responding"

    My mail won't open and keeps on "not responding"

    Do a backup.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.  Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

    What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
    Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
    1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
    school or company network?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
    3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
    Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • Certain mail won't come in off the server to my Mac Mail

    Certain emails won't come in to my Mac Mail off the Time Warner Servers. (TW is intotally unhelpful and say it's my Mac Mail settings, even though some of the senders have come in before with no problem. Newer people have a hard time getting through, even though, I put them in the address book of both the TW server, and in Mac Mail.
    I also set a preference to "allow" them in both filters section  And I'll hear a "ding" when mail arrives from this person, but while I can go see it on the TW server, it doesn't come into the Mac Mail.
    It's like it's trying (the ding) but what happens to the message?
    thanks for any info you can give.
    mz

    thanks for your help... but I've deleted all my iPhone mail accounts and reentered them. The phone then proceeded to re-download all the messages from the server...except for the same ones it wouldn't before! I'm mystified. I called ATT and they didn't know what to do either. Time Warner doesn't know either.
    I've got them in my address books as well...
    Any more ideas?
    thanks

  • Mac Mail won't go online

    I am using a MAC PRO version 10.6.7, I recently went with Charter cable and opened a new e-mail account with charter. The mailbox worked fine with embarqmail and Gmail but it won't go online with Charter and I can't send mail unless I go online and sign into Charter. Is there a fix or just quit Charter and go back to satellite?

  • Mail won't go online with IMAP but Exchange works

    Mac mail has beeen working fine for me for many years. Last day or so all my non Exhcange accounts won't go online. I read through the forum. I have checked the connection doctor. It is "unable to contact server". I tried network utility to port scan the IMAPS port. That worked just fine. I do have a software firewall called Little Snitch. I checked all the rules in there. There are no block rules for mac Mail. I also dissabled the the firewall with no results. I was hoping to get my primary gmail account working. So I removed it and re-added it. No luck.
    I think this problem may be related to SSL certificates. At work we have a firewall that does SSL termination. It has a self signed certificate on it. I have often gotten mismatched SSL warnings when picking up mail. I can't seem to find the SSL certificates anywhere on the mac so I don't know where to delete them. Removing and re-adding the gmail account should have refreshed the SSL certificate. So thism may not be the issue.
    Any suggestions would really help.

    Rebooting the Mac fixed the problem. I have no idea why. Still unable to locate the mail ssl certificates.

  • Firefox will not open web pages that are called from the mail program that comes with Vista, anyone out there have a solution?

    I have installed Firefox ver 4 on a Toshiba laptop running Vista. My problem is when using the mail client that comes with Vista any url in an email message will not load in the browser, a new tab is created and has the url from the mail message but that is as far as I get. There is no revolving icon on the new tab and clicking on reload does nothing. So far this is happening with every website I have tried. There is no error message of any kind. The websites are working sites and can be opened if I navigate to them manually

  • Icloud is synched to the wrong apple ID and the password was unknown to me, after answering the security questions I was able to reset it. Now when I try to login on my ipad to delete the icloud associated to that apple ID it keeps telling me its wrong?

    I bought a new Ipad and backup all my info form ym old one to my itunes. I set it up but now for soem reason by icloud on my new ipad is set up an old apple ID account I have never used. After answering security questions I was able to reset my password but when i try to use it on my new ipad to delete hte icloud it keeps telling me its wrong.
    Any way I can go around it or is there another process I need to do before the ipad starts recognizing hte new password I set for the old apple Id account?

    It sounds like the new iPad, had a previous owner.    If you don't recognize the email for the Apple ID on your iPad, then it was registered to another person.
    If it was, you can't use it and should return it.

  • My icloud mail won't go "online"

    I've tried sychronizing and taking it on line and nothing works. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    When I try to sign out, it asks me if I want to keep contacts, remove notes and calendars from my iMac, (which I was okay with), but it also says if I turn off photo stream photos that have not been imported will be deleted from my computer. This concerns me. I appreciate your help so much - I don't really know much about iCloud and I'm afraid to lose stuff.
