Problem with MS Exchange Account Set-Up
I receive an error message when trying to set up Exchange account on my iPad2: "Unable to verify account information", even though I enter my correct Comcast email address and user name. I've aso tried my Apple username, but that doesn't work either.
I found this online. Same ? was asked to a comcast support rep(or Techhelp?)....
Customer :
Thanks-this is the screen settings that I have on my IPod Touch, but the screen on my IPhone is an Exchange screen. How do I get this screen on my IPhone?
i-cubed :
You will want to select "Other" at the bottom (right below "Mobile Me".
i-cubed :
Do you happen to know what version of iOS your phone is running?
Customer :
Not sure what iOS means (I'm over 40 and technically challenged! :-)), but I have the IPhone 4, 3 G
i-cubed :
In the SETTINGS area, there is a 'button' called GENERAL. When you click that, you should see ABOUT. On the ABOUT page, there is an entry called 'Version'. Hopefully it is either a 4 version of 5 version.
Customer :
version 5.0.1
i-cubed :
Good. Let me check something a minute ...
Customer :
It worked! Thanks! Should I follow the same instructions to enable my IPod Touch to send email messages?
i-cubed :
Yes. Let me get you the screenhsot for the SMTP server for outgoing mail. Comcast uses a non-standard port for this, though IOS 5 has been usually smart enough to auto detect it.

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.

IOS 4.0.1 Email Subfolder problem with multiple Exchange accounts
Hi folks,
Situation: iPhone 4, iOS 4.0.1, multiple Exchange accounts, corporate exchange server 2010
problem: Emails are of course organized into subfolders. However, my iPhone only displays NEW incoming Emails when they are sent to an accounts ROOT Emails folder. I can access the subfolders of each account using the "account:" buttons and read the mails - but thats useless since I dont have an idea WHICH folder of WHICH ACCOUNT received a new mail!
to me, that is definitely a bug - not a feature.
any ideas?I cannot believe this is actually the case -- I'm experiencing the same problem and it's driving me nuts! Come on Apple; this needs to be fixed if you actually expect the iphone to become a real business device.

I set up my iCloud account on iPad with an exchange account and aol account. I can see exchange and aol emails but not those from .me account or apple email. I got it to show all 3 accounts on my iPhone with no problem. Hat am I missing?
I'm having a similar problem, but I do have the key and is not working anyway.
My old pc was running on windows 7 and my new one is an apple running on Lion.
My phone is an Iphone IV and I can see all the bookmarks there.
In order to sync, what I did was click on the "I don't have the device with me", I entered the key that was provided and the process finish ok. It says congratulations, etc, etc.
But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same.
Any suggestions? -
I'm having problem with my icloud account,I don't have access to the email i once used to set up my icloud account,this is really affecting me,I can't backup and restore anything from my phone and device..Can somebody help?
Hi Maastricht2014,
Until and unless you remember the password to your old email address, you will not be able to access the eBooks as those eBooks are only authorized with your old email address only.
The only workaround or alternative to access your eBooks will be to contact the eBook vendor and ask them to migrate the eBook from your old email to the new one.
Hope that Helps!

Had problem with my hotmail account and had to change my password. Ever since then, my default e-mail account set up to hotmail doesn't work...it sends from gmail. How can I correct that?
On your iPhone you need to change your password in 2 places:
- Incoming Mail Server and
- Outgoing Mail Server
To get to the password entry for the Outgoing Mail Server you have to tap on cell smtp.live.com and again on the second view. -
I have a question regarding emails being marked as unread when syncing with an exchange account.
I have a question regarding emails being marked as unread when syncing with an exchange account.
In the evening I can see I have 10 unread emails on my exchange account. I leave them unread. The following day, at work, I view and read all my mails from today and yesterday, so that I have NO unread messages. When I then sync my iphone it marks only the mails from today as read but, leaves all the mails from yesterday marked unread. Only solution so far is for me to go through the mails on my iphone one at a time for them to be marked as read.
My mail account is set to sync 1 month back.
I have had this problem on all the iphones I have had.
I currently have an iPhone 5 and my software is up to date.
What am I doing wrong?Hey kabsl,
Thanks for the post.
What type of email account is attached to your BlackBerry Z10? (POP3, IMAP, Exchange). Also have you tried removing and re-adding the email account to test?
Is this email account only setup on one computer or several computer?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Problem with my icloud account!
Hello everybody
I have a problem with my icloud account!
When i bought my iphone 4 last year i set it up with a icloud account that i do not remeber...or it's been erased!
Since then i used another mail account and everything was ok until my i updated my iphone with ios 7.2 and when it restarted it asks for the account that i first set it up with.
I can't seem to find a way around it...it drives me nuts i spent a whole day on this thing and nothing seems to work!
Anybody ???You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Problems with iPad Exchange Calendar Sync under iOS 5.0.1
Under the prior iOS, I had been using my iPhone (3GS) and iPad1 with my calendar (and mail) synching with my Exchange account without any problems.
Now, under iOS 5.0.1, my calendar synchronization and how invitations are handled has become completely erratic.
Fortunately, none of the actual events on the server have been corrupted.
But when I accept invitations on my computer, the invitations don't get cleared on the phone. And/or they mysteriously change to "grey" unaccepted events.
If I then accept an invitation on the phone, it does not get changed on the iPad. If I then accept it on the iPad, then the phone switches its status to an unaccepted event.
It is completely infuriating.25th Floor wrote:
Templeton - I realized I'm not completely clear about your suggestion.
Do you turn off the calendar for the Exchange acccount under the Settings for the iPhone or iPad. Which I guess eliminates the account, and then you have to enable it again and get it synched down to the appliance?
I was debating trying this approach, and was encouraged that you found it to work.....
Thanks.
correct. -
I'm having problems with my email account. I receive emails when I'm in a wifi zone. But if the wifi is turned off and i'm not in a zone I don't receive my emails through the cellular network. Only when I power off the phone and turn it back on, do I receive the emails through the cellualr network (again with the wifi off)
In your email settings on the phone check to make sure it is set to receive emails on cellular network. It's a feature you can turn off so your phone isn't constantly updating emails on the cell network, but if you are usually in a place with wifi and aren't concerned about going over your data allowance, you can turn it back on.

I am having real problems with my hotmail account not working on my iMac
I am having real problems with my hotmail account not working on my IMac but works absolutely fine on my Iphone 5. Can anyone help with the setup for iMac. I am with BT for my Broadband. I am cionverned if I route my Hotmail accoutn to GMail will iy stop working on my Ipone.
How are you accessing Hotmail? Via your web browser? Are you using Apple Mail? Outlook?
The answer will be different depending on how you want to access Hotmail.
If you are using an email client (like Apple Mail, Outlook, Entourage, etc.)) then you need to set up a mail account in your email software.
The incoming Hotmail settings are these:
Incoming server: pop3.live.com
User name: Your full Hotmail email address (aka "me @ hotmail.com" or "me @ live.com")
Password: Your Hotmail password
POP port: 995
Use SSL to connect : yes
The outgoing Hotmail settings are:
Outgoing server: smtp.live.com
User name: Your full Hotmail email address
Password: Your Hotmail password
SMTP port: 587 (override the default port if necesssary)
Use SSL to connect : yes -
I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders for each email account anywhere on my iPad or in Mac Mail. How can I set them up? I can't find anyway to set them up anywhere. Thanks
Hello blu monkey,
I found some resources that I think might help with the visibility of your IMAP email folders on your iPad and Mac.
On your iPad, you may need to follow the steps in this article to make sure your folders are visible:
iOS: If IMAP Mail folders are not visible
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1393
On your Mac, I am not sure if you have the sidebar enabled, but you can enable it using the steps in the article below. When this is showing, you should see your email account listed near the bottom with a triangle next to it. When the triangle is pointing down, it should show your folders:
Mail (Mountain Lion): Show or hide the sidebar

I have an iPhone sync'd to my iTunes. My boyfriend has his own iPhone with his iTunes account set up within it. We want to sync his iPhone to my iTunes account on the PC but we want to retain everything from both phones and the iTunes account. Is this possible? Help!

No. If you connect his phone to your iTunes account/computer, ALL iTunes content on his phone will be erased. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time. -

Did you follow all of the instructions provided in the article that you linked from? If not, you must follow each and every step.
If you have, then all you can do is contact iTunes Support:
