On my iPad and iPhone I am getting errors that it can't get the Yahoo! mail to go through, it won't verify the data.

I can't get mai on the iPad or iphone (and maybe the macbook pro) from Yahoo!. It won't verify the info and has me to authenticate using safari. I hav a PLUS account, have deleted and restarted a new account, but no verif. It used to work, but has quit. Especially worse since running iOS 5. Apple is scheduled for expresslane for 4 - 5 days out. I don't have a current phone number for Yahoo! or I'd be bugging them. It just won't verify even after changing passwords. GMail and iCloud work fin. Any ideas ?

Bwilbraham-
Is your iPad able to access the internet using Safari?  If not, I suggest you unplug your WiFi router for a few seconds.  Then reset the iPad's network at Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi.
If you are able to access the internet, then there may be a glitch in your iPad Mail setup you are overlooking.  It could be something like the letter O where a zero should be, a space where none is allowed or a backward slash (\) where a forward slash (/) is required.
One other thing you can try, is to reset (reboot) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

    Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

    You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
    However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
    So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
    Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
    P.S  audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

  • Greetings: I have multiple iPads and iPhones. I want all to be able to be able to stream to our Apple TV. All of the docs I see say you must have the same Apple ID for all the devices, but we each have our own Apple ID. Is this just a doc short coming?

    You can each have your own ID for your own iTunes accounts, but in order for a device to stream via AirPlay to the same Apple TV, everything must use the same homesharing ID. This is not the same as your iTunes account ID (although it can be for one of the devices)

  • My daughter used her friends apple account to login on her ipad and then the mother of her friend thought it was being hacked and consequently tracked the ipad and my daughter lost all her photos.  Can we get these back?

    Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device. It doesn’t include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo albums, iCloud Photo Library beta, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.

  • HT1420 How do I enable or authorize my iPad and iPhone? Keeps telling me that my Apple ID has been disabled.

    How do I enable or authorize my iPad and iPhone? Keeps telling me that my Apple ID has been disabled.

    Depending upon why it's been disabled 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 phone 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 contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I try to log into my Apple ID and it says that it has sent a E-Mail to my Apple ID to vertify that it is me, I understand that but what I don't get is that I can't get onto my account to click open the E-Mail to vertify myself. Any Help?

    I try to log into my Apple ID and it says that it has sent an E-Mail to my Apple ID to vertify that it is me, I understand that but what I don't get is that I can't get onto my account to click open the E-Mail to vertify myself. Any Help?
    This is on the Apple ID manage and create page, this has happened to three of my accounts and I seem to get to the same exact spot and it just contradicts itself and won't let me log on at all. I have hooked up two E-mail accounts to the Apple Account and Vertified the accounts through the E-Mails sent to the external E-Mails but it still doesn't let me get into my Apple E-Mail at all.

    I logged in changed the primary E-Mail address to a different one, vertified it then tried to log in it said either to send an E-Mail to veritify again or to do my security questions, so I choose to do the security questions and put in my Birthday like it asked and it said that it was wrong and I had to authenticate it to get in, why is it so hard to just set up a Apple ID really though!
    So I tried the E-Mail to and it has not sent me an E-Mail then I tried to log in again and it has locked me out of my account so I try to recover my password and it gave me the same options to get my password back and both options are doing the same as before, it says I don't know my on birth date or it is wrong or needs authenticate it, then the E-Mail doesn't come through!
    This is just stupid now.

  • Why am I getting an error message,"windows can not find(my Yahoo mail launch address)"when accessing Yahoo mail site?

    Using WindowsXP, and e-mail via Yahoo,browser is Firefox 4.0.I get the following error message when accessing yahoo mail site:"http://us.f831.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?action=welcome&yy=1782408664&.rand=0qrsdp1o...Windows can not find(the above address is inserted here).make sure you typed the name correctly,and try again". After this message is displayed on my desktop it begins to fade,and the inbox of my yahoo mail is then displayed..I am able to work all functions of the mail without problems.( I might add at this point that i access the mail program via a desktop icon).When I close out of the program the error message box with the error described above is displayed again on my desktop.I must click on the "X" to remove it.I can access my yahoo mail via Internet Explorer with no problem,as well as accessing via my yahoo home page.

    Here's an image of the ERROR Message. I'm not sure how this forum works -- if this image is an attachment or if it shows up in the body of this reply.

  • Win 8.1. Get ads that I can't get rid of when trying to go to another site.

    Win 8.1. When I try to go to a site, keep getting ads and warnings that I need to update programs, can't delete them. How do I keep these from coming up?

    You may have an unwanted extension that is displaying those ads. Try this:
    Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable or remove.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    If the Remove button is not available, then usually that extension was installed externally and needs to be removed through the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Clicking the "Installed on" column heading will group the items by date so you can spot items that snuck in as part of a bundle.
    To mop up invasive software, you also can use the tools listed in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
    Any luck? If you identify the culprit, please name names.

  • Errors that I Can't get rid of?!

    Hello, I'm new to this community and have a question. Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but it's worth a try. So, I got a call from lenovo inc. somewhere in New Jersey (let's be serious please) and they told and showed me that there are a bunch of windows (I have windows 7 by the way) errors on my laptop and that my laptop is corrupt. They showed me by having me type something in a program called run. I could not delete those errors once I saw them, and they also thowed me the corrupt errors/files on the command prompt by typing in something. They said the only solution was for me to buy some security, which I don't remember what it was, but it was a while ago and it had all these plans and was very expensive ranging from like $200-$500. They said if I don't get it then there is a huge risk of hackers stealing my identity/information. They said this is the only way to get rid of it. Now, I am wondering if there is any other free way I can get rid of the errors/corrupt files wthout having to pay so much or without even paying anything at all. I could also be scammed if I had bough the security who knows, but I did see a lot of errors on the program run and I think on cmd, it said my laptop/system was like 80-90% corrupt or something like that. Now, I want to get rid of all these errors and corruption and don't want hackers anywhere near my personal information. How do I do that? Please help. Thank You!

    This is a scam.
    Neither Microsoft, nor any computer hardware manufacturer (Lenovo, in your case) monitors your system for errors... nor will they ever call you (on their own) to advise you as such.
    Most likely, they had you open the Event Viewer, which WILL display many "errors"... all of which are normal and expected.
    If you did not allow the caller to take remote control of your system, you should be safe from their shenanigans.   It must now be determined whether the so-called "errors" on your system are something that really needs to be addressed by a malware expert, or whether they're routine "warnings" that can be safely ignored.   I will leave that matter for someone else, better-qualified, to address.

  • Is it possible to share aps between my iPad and iPhone, I have tried several methods yet I still get charged if I download an app I already have on my iPad.  many thanks, Alex

    Is it possible to share apps from my iPad onto my new iPhone 4. I have tried several suggestions from the net but still get charged when I download an app to my phone that is already on my iPad.  Many thanks,  alex

    Greetings Alex,
    You should be able to download the exact same app from the iTunes store to a different device at no extra cost.  Its possible you might be downloading an iPad only version of an app you happen to have on your iPhone although I'm not familiar with an example of this. 
    If you are being charged:
    1. Make sure you are using the same iTunes Store account (AppleID) on both devices.  Your purchases are tied to the AppleID so if you don't use the same one to download the app that you used to buy it the first time,  you'll be charged.
    On the device you originally bought the app in question:  Go to Settings > Store -- note the AppleID here
    On the device you re-downloaded and were charged on:   Go to Settings > Store -- note the AppleID here
    If these AppleIDs are different then you have your answer.  You are making purchases with two different accounts so logically you've been charged twice.  Decide which AppleID you wish to use from now on and on the device which does not currently have that ID and tap on it in the Store section of the settings and login with the other AppleID.
    If these AppleIDs are the same then something is going wrong in the process.  Contact iTunes Store support email to have them take a peek: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Hope that helps.

  • Dragged the line tween message list and preview pane so far up that i can't get the double arrow to drag it back down; now the window is only 10% for mess. list

    I like to keep my window about 60% message pane - above the line - and 40% for the open message. To see an entire message, I resized the panes with the double arrow. No more double arrow and it's 80% open message and 20% list of messages.
    Also, since I have you, Can Lightning show an event on the monthly grid Without Adding the time in the box, or at least allow something like 7p or 2:30p, e.g. ? Thank you for what you do!

    Try F8 to get control of the message pane.
    As far as the Lightning question, are you wanting to shorten the time so that more of the description is displayed?
