POP3 error after upgrading to iOS5

I have a 3GS and just installed the latest upgrade. Since then, I’m getting a user name/password incorrect error when checking a certain POP3 account on my iPhone. The same account is working find on my imac’s mail.app. I deleted the account from my iphone, rebooted it, and selected to add that mail account to the phone from within itunes, sync’d and still I’m getting the same error. I tried manually changing the user name/password, and still nothing. Any ideas?

I changed the password to my account to something a little less annoying than a random 16 char one and now my iphone is checking mail.
Odd.
Later I’ll try a new, longer password and see if that causes trouble.

  • HT1386 I can't use my iphone after upgrading to IOS5

    Can someone help?  I can't use my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios5.

    I have iphone 3 GS.  I upgraded the software to ios 5 and the phone is now can't be accessed.  All I can see is the Gray screen says Iphone.  It ask me to set it up, choose your country, wifi, etc.  when I did that, it always stop at the page where it says "Apple activation server is down, please try it again".  Tried so many times but the same messages kept showing up.  Connect it to Itunes, itunes said there is no sim card installed.  I went to AT&T to get the new simcard and it still saying the same thing.  don't know what's wrong with it.

  • Can't unbrick 3GS after upgrading to iOS5.1.1

    i cannot unbrick my 3GS after upgrading to iOS5.1.1 it is not giving me an option to factory reset. When i hook up with iTunes to unbrick it after 3-4 mion it says there is no SIM card please insert SIM and SIM card is inside phone which i was using before upgrading iOS. please help
    thanks

    Assuming you're still using Telus, I'd say take it into their shop and get a fresh replacement SIM. If it wasn't hacked or jailbroken, that's the most likely explanation. I realize you've tried different ones, but it's worth a shot.
    You might want to try putting it in DFU mode and restoring again as well. If those things don't work, it's probably time for a trip to the Apple Store to have it looked at.

  • After upgrading to iOS5 - phone ear speaker is NOT working

    Well, my excitement from upgrading to the new iOS5 on my iPhone 4 gave way to frustration when I found out that the phone's built-in ear speaker is no longer working. Tried everything from a hard reset, to re-syncing with iTunes, playing around with every setting I could find, and a few "fixes" I found online that were absolutely useless and did nothing.
    This only appears to happen when making or receiving phone calls (and listening to voice mail) - when I select speaker, all audio plays normally, but clicking back over to headset, and nothing. Earbuds also work okay. 
    Prior to installing iOS5 this problem did not exist in the least.
    Apple - I am going to ASSUME you properly beta tested this OS on ALL compatible devices prior to its release, did you not? Apparently (from my web searching) I am not the only person suffering this malfunction with their iPhone after upgrading to iOS5.
    Is there anyone out there that has figured out a way to fix this, or am I just screwed? I don't know how to revert back to iOS 4.3.3 if that's even possible at this point.  This is a phone I use for work, and I need to have this functioning properly.
    Please help. Anyone... thank you. 

    I'm having exactly the same problem with my iPhone 4. Since the upgrade to IOS5, I've noticed I can no longer hear calls through the ear-piece, though using the speaker phone option works fine.
    I took my phone to the  Apple Store in Sydney and they advised that the problem was related to my sim card & that I should contact my telco for a replacement. I seriously didn't believe the Apple rep when she said this, but politely said thanks, went home and tried it out by swapping my sim with my wife's.
    Guess what... it didn't make the slightest difference.
    My wife has an iPhone 4 still running IOS4 and the ear-piece works fine. I even put my sim card into her phone and it worked fine as well. So the issue is definitely not related to the sim card.
    It sounds like a common issue affecting a lot of iPhone 4 users that have upgraded to IOS5. I'm surprised Apple hasn't acknowledged this and have a patch available to correct (it doesn't sound like a hardware issue).
    Anyway, looks like a trip back to the Apple store for more great suggestions.

  • How do i get all my contacts back after upgrading to ios5?

    After upgrading to ios5, I lost all my contacts, notes, pictures, videos, EVERYTHING ! All my apps were back, but not in the folders I had set up. I lost all my notes from school, my homework, my passwords for everything too...this really *****.

    You can look at this document about a restore, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414, but it will show you that after you restore, it takes you to the Setup assistant which is what  you encounter with a new device. From there, you select to restore to a backup and select the iCloud backup.

  • Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2

    Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2. I've erased and reformatted the drive; reconnected Time Machine(it saw it) and began a new backup. The backup starts again but fails before completing with backup drive not found error. I used the 10.7.2 combo update. Any help on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

    Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
    After waiting since October for a fix, I have now upgraded the firmware on the Time Capsule and installed the new Airport Utility, released yesterday, and the situation is even worse.
    Up until now, the Airport Utility had an option to disconnect all drives manually and the Time Capsule would then work until the next reboot – a temporary (?) work-around.
    Now that option does not exist in the new-look Airport Utility. And the Airport Utility installation can’t be rolled back and the old utility won’t restore.
    The sparesbundle is still not accessible. Anyone worked out a work-around in the new environment yet?
    I have another Time Machine backup working fine to a trusty old Lacie Drive so erased the one on my Time Capsule to see if that works. I have renamed the Capsule and the Time Capsule Drive.  But to build another full backup will take at least two days and I shall be away from tomorrow and am reluctant to leave the Capsule and computer up and running for a week. And I’ll bet the sparsbundle will still be nowhere to be found.
    How can Apple screw up so badly when they are to become the richest company in the entire world and – soon – will have more cash in the bank than the entire United States? Can’t they afford someone who really can sort this out? Especially when a Firewire connected hard drive – my trusty and simple LaCie – works fine.
    Words, almost, fail me.

  • After upgrade to ios5, none of the apps will load.  Touching an icon does not open the app; it just blinks and returns to the screen.

    After upgrade to ios5, none of the apps will load.  Touching an icon does not open the app; it just blinks and returns to the screen.

    Go to the App Stor and download an app- any free app will do, it doesn't matter.
    Doing this usually "resets" your device's "app awareness" and you should be able to run any app with no problem.
    And no, you don't have to keep that free one you just downloaded.  You can delete it if you don't want it.

    Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. A Restore is more thorough than the Update. If still problem after the Restore on computer, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple Store for resolution. iPhone 5S is covered by Warranty.

  • After upgrade to ios5.0.1 i can't use voice calls

    After upgrade to ios5.0.1 i can't use voice calls - people simply do not hear me. Microphone seems to echo sound back instead of sending it over. Ideas?

    Try "resetting" the device...
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Flash 9,0,124,0 security error after upgrade

    I get the following error after upgrading my Flash Player
    (after my system prompted me to install it while running the Flash
    editor):
    Internet Explorer has blocked this site from using an ActiveX
    control in an unsafe manner.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the player from the
    browser, about 5 times now and it continues to be a problem for IE.
    Works ok in Firefox if I manually download the FF installer. Is
    there a standalone installer for Vista/IE7 or am I forced to use
    the ActiveX installer which seems to have issues?

    Fix: Removed both (!?more than one?!) versions of flash
    player in my Programs and Features dialog, then ran
    uninstall_flash_player.exe, reset IE7 to factory spec, then
    reinstalled Flash from ActiveX. Seems to be working now.

  • My Battery is GREAT after upgrading to IOS5.1 I had to do a restore as new phone.

    After upgrading to IOS5.1 my battery performance did not get better.  After doing a restore as a new phone, it is working VERY WELL!  I suggest if you are still having problems after upgrading, resto

    I suggest turning off locations services, wifi, turn on "Auto brightness", and under Diagnostics & Usage, tick "don't send". By doing this I have increase my battery life from less than one day, to almost two days now.  It doesn't seem to be a huge secret that the more apps using locations services, or sending data every 15 minutes tends to use up the battery really fast. I don't care if someone posts on facebook, or twitter, I don't want anyone tracking my phone, I don't use iCloud. But I do text alot, I check email about every 4 hours or more, and I do rack up some time on the internet.
