My iphone wont send my mail. It says the username or password for Yahoo is incorrect. I double checked and they are both correct.
My iphone wont send emails
Enter your user name and password in the Outgoing Mail Server section of the Mail Account even if it says that is optional.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > your Email Account > SMTP > the Server name > Add your User Name and Password.

Iphone intermittently says "The username or password for yahoo mail is incorrect"
This is a mystery. Four email accounts on my iphone 4. No problems until a couple of days ago, when all of a sudden I get an error message when sending/receiving email BUT NOT EVERY TIME I AM SENDING OR RECEIVING. Nothing changed about the email accounts. Nothing downloaded/upgraded to the software for the iphone. I seem to get most of my email on my phone, but occasionally some mail seems to not arrive, while arriving on my PC.
?????? Since setting up these email accounts on my iphone (September 2010) I have not tinkered with the userID/passwords, or anything else about the accounts...
Any ideas?I get that occasionally, usually in a weak signal area - I aways assumed that the attempt timed out and the error message was erroneous. Usually, a few minutes later it seems to work ok for me.

My iphone 4s is saying "cannot get mail" The username or password for "Btinternet" is incorrect
My iphone 4s is saying "cannot get mail" The username or password is incorrect.
I did reset my password yesterday on my main computer but tried on my iphone and now can't get mail ?Hi Cherie,
I had EXACTLY the same problem for more than two weeks, that was NOT solved by speaking to BT 'Tech Support' - they kept saying that the problem was the fault of Apple - untill I finally got some help from them today (Mon 7th Oct).
The error message I got - despite ALL settings on my iPhone(5) and iPad(4) being absolutely correct - was this:
'Cannot Send Mail', 'The username or password for SMTP: ***********@mail.btinternet.com is incorrect'
The only solution I got - eventually - from BT is to delete the above account fro the device and 're-install' it again, but THIS time use the 'Yahoo' option from the list of choices rather than 'Other'.
When I did this and entered the relevant Name, E-Mail Address, Password, and Description (you can call the account whatever you like), I selected 'next', then I got the word 'Verifying.......' appear after a few seconds, and then I saw the four 'blue tick marks' appear next to my entries.
These 'blue tick marks' confirm the verification that your details are correct.
The next time you open your e-mail client on your iPhone or iPad you shoud see your ****@btinternet.com e-mail account in the list of e-mail accounts on your phone (if you have more than one) with a Yahoo icon next to whatever name you chose to call it. If you already have a Yahoo! account (like me) it is probably a good idea to call the 'BTYahoo' account, BT or something, rather than keep the default 'Yahoo' name otherwise you will have two with the same name in your accounts list.
You SHOULD eventually get back ALL the e-mails that were previously in your inbox, as well as some 'extra' folders that you probably did not have when you first set up the account on your iOS device.
That is what happened when I reinstalled my account, so I hope this works for you.

My email keeps saying the username or password is incorrect
My iphone keeps saying the username or password for "Gmail" is incorrect for my email. I tried changing it and it didn't work. What do I do?
Enter the correct user name and password.
FYI, keep in mind that this is a user to user technical support forum. No one here is paid to respond.
Waiting all of 10 minutes before posting that no one has answered simply makes you look like a jerk. -
I cant access my email account. A message saying the username or password are incorrect.
This is trying to access email through Iphone, Ipad or PC.What does this have to do with Apple or any iDevice?
Contact whomever the email provider is and correct the login credential issue. -
Started a similar string before. When I select a recipient in Messages on my Macbook Pro the name shows up in red and says the recipient is no longer registered on iMessage. I know that they are registered. Is there a problem with Contacts possibly. The previous help has been appreciated but the problem persists.
Hi,
Try iMessaging your own iPhone and see if your account is actually logged in.
It can appear "enabled" and On line but sometimes it is not.
Also try sending from your iPhone (number) to your Apple ID and see if it gets to the Mac.
If it does not use the Sign Out button.
Then shut down the Mac
On restart add back the Apple ID to the iMessages account settings.
I also just checked My wife's iPhone as she popped up red.
It turned out her iPhone did not have Messages On.

I am trying to set up my new Google mail email address on my iPhone 3GS but it keeps throwing up a message saying that the username or password are incorrect. I have checked and they are definitely right, why is it telling me this?!
Check capitalization. The password is certainly case-senstive, and your username/email address might be as well. In the case of the password, you must get it exactly right. In the case of the username/email address, you can usually enter it as all lower case. Also, try your username with the @gmail.com suffix; your username might not be accepted without it.

I have an ipad air and I'm trying to set up a telus email on it but it won't work. I keep getting a message saying username or password for IMAP is incorrect...please help!
This has nothing to do with iPhoto. When I have this type of problem I call tech support for my email service. They probably are the only source of the correct settings

I have an iphone 5 on contract with 3 but the speaker isn't working , I've spoken with my provider and they said I need to take it back to an apple store .is this correct ? Many thanks
If you received you phone as part of the contract then surely from a legal pov your contract is with 3 not Apple unless you bought Applecare, if you bought your phone outright then put your 3 SIM into it then yes you'd have to visit an Apple store with your phone's purchase receipt.

I keep on putting my credit card details in and they are all correct and it either says payment method doc lined or payment processing is unavailable?
Hi Jakeylittle,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues entering or changing your billing information for your iTunes Store account, you may find the following article helpful:

GMail. Changed password on PC email account, and did same on IPhone 4 Settings for Gmail. App opens but tells me username or password for Gmail is incorrect. Have ensured both are correct...still no access
If you have 2-step verification set up for your gmail account, you will need to generate an application-specific password for your iphone applications (because those apps apparently don't support 2-step verification).
Go into your google account, look in accounts/security/2-step verification, there is a link called "Manage your application specific passwords" Use that to generate a special password for your iphone apps and use that instead of your usual gmail password on your phone. -

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release].
