Problems setting up Mail with iCloud

Hi,
   I am running os version 10.9.5. I have a mac.com apple id. I set up iCloud a long time ago with this id and was prompted to create an iCloud.com address which I was able to do successfully. I never used it or logged into iCloud since. Everything was syncing fine with my devices but at some point Mail stopped working (or may never have worked). I did not notice since I was not using it.
    I decided to try and fix it but am not having any luck. I searched and followed support documents and still nothing. I have sent test emails to both the mac.com and iCloud addresses and delivery fails with unknown or illegal alias for both.
     I have signed out of iCloud on all my devices and deleted the iCloud account from Mail. When I try to re-create the email account I can successfully log into iCloud with the mac.com id and Contacts, etc set up fine. When I check the Mail option, I get prompted to create a new iCloud email address. If I use my current one, it says it already exists. When I try to create a new one and click create, it acts like it is checking, returns with no error but doesn't do anything else. It just sits at the prompt waiting to check the new address again.
     I have tried everything I can think of short of contacting apple directly. Any help with this very frustrating issue would be appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: funny thing is, replies are going to be sent to the address that doesn't work.

iCloud email is IMAP, which means that your Mail application reads the messages from the server. Therefore if you delete a message from your Mac, it will also appear deleted online at icloud.com and on your iPhone.
Your signature says you have 10.5.2 - is this correct? (If not please update your signature to prevent confusion). If it is, you can access email on an existing iCloud account (you would have to set the account up on your iPhone) though no other iCloud facilities will work. The setup method is described, with illustrations, here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

Setting up mail with iCloud

Several questions:
I am getting an iPhone 5 and am also going to tether it to my iMac to get my email and for web browsing,
especially for larger files. I am dumping my current DSL provider as a result. The DSL provider
has all email run out of Google's gmail.
1) If I get iCloud email, will this download into the Apple mail on my iMac, and do I have to delete
the messages from iCloud mail after getting them on my iMac?
2) If I don't get iCloud email, am I stuck having to go to a web site to get my email?

Problems setting up Mail to Exchange

Hey everyone,
Having a few problems setting up mail to exchange on a Nokia 5800.
We have the latest version of Mail to Exchange installed.
Were using Microsoft Exchange 2007.
Example serup of what we have done:
Mail to exchange - New profile - Input Username and Password of domain account - Input domain name - Chose Internet as means of connection -
The Nokia goes off and searches for the domain information, finds it OK. Shows a message regarding a server certificate, we chose to install this certificate this time only.
Phone crashes?
Any ideas whats going on?

Hi Jim,
Depending on the customer feedback, it works fine. Apple Mail the client that comes with OSX supports standard protocols (POP3, IMAP, SMTP), these are all supported by Exchange 2010.
If you're running Mac OS 10.4 Tiger or Mac OS 10.5 Leopard, you can still use the Mac Mail App to connect to your account. However, you need to connect to your account without using IMAP or POP.
If you're running Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS 10.7 Lion, you can use the Mail program included with those releases to connect to your email account automatically using an Exchange account.
When you use Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS 10.7 Lion and connect using an Exchange account, you can use features that aren't available to users who connect through IMAP or POP, including iCal and Address Book.

Having trouble setting up Mail with a POP account

I am trying to set up Mail with my Universities webmail service, and according to their tech page I need to set it to POP. I also made sure that I have the incoming and outgoing mail servers correct, and i've made certain that I am entering my username and password correctly. But when it loads and trys to get my mail it says that the password I supplied is incorrect, but I know that's not true. I am absolutley sure that both the username and password are entered correctly.
Does anybody know how I might fix this?
p.s. my girlfriend is having the exact same problem, so it isn't just me entering something wrong

I know you said the usernames/passwords are correct but, (if you can), login via webmail using those same strings, see if that works.
Write the text to a note and copy and paste from there so you are sure you've not input something wrongly.
Failing that do a quick keychain first aid too.
If that don't work then I'm out of ideas, (for now at least).

If you see the white WiFi bars in the upper left corner, that simply means that the iPad has detected a WiFi network, and that does not mean that you are connected to the Internet.
Can you open web sites with Safari?

Is there other way which I can erase my iPad. Because the regular way shows that "There was a problem deregistering this iPad with iCloud."

If you want to wipe your iPad back to new in box, i.e., ready to be set up as a new device.
1. Turn off Find My iPhone.
2. Then go to settings > general > erase > erase all content and data
You'll have to confirm you really want to do this, but once it's complete, the iPad will be back to way it was when you took it out of the box for the first time.
And BTW., it wasn't necessary to post this question twice in two separate threads.

I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS). Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one. But I want it to sync with my stuff. What can I do? I haven't been able to find help anywhere online... Thanks!

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

A friend set me up with icloud and in the process he lost some of the book i was listening to. I can't find it in my ipod or on my computer. It is part one and two of a book; interest part three showed up hough.

A friend set me up with icloud on my ipod touch and in the process lost part one and two of the book I had purchased from itunes. I searched for it and it is not in my ipod any longer, although part 3 is there. I tried to download it again from itunes store but they said I already purchased it and I didn't want to be charged again. What can I do? I am not happy at all because all I did with my Ipod was listen to my book and now I can't.

Hi.
If you've bought it from iTunes, you should be able to re-download it for free.
Download directly from iPod by going to the iTunes Store-App and find the "Purchased"-menu. From here you should get a complete list of all your bought items and the ability to re-download.
Download from iTunes on PC/Mac by opening iTunes > Go to iTunes Store > Go to the menubar on the left and choose "Purchased". Now, from the appearing window select the proper categori on top of the screen.
I hope this was helpful.

iCloud does not handle any mail systems except for its own. BT is not an iCloud mail system, so you can't.

Problem setting up WDS with MSI RG54GS2 & Motorola WR850g

Problem setting up WDS with WR850g & MSI RG54GS2
Hi,
I'm trying to bridge 2 routers: Motorola WR850g & MSI RG54GS2 .
I set the MSI as the main router (it works better for me as a router than the Moto), and the Moto is the repeater. I have set it up exactly as the guide on Broadbandreports.com for the Motorola , and on Tom's Networking http://www.tomsnetworking.com/2004/04/14/how_to_wds_bridge/
The Moto sees the MAC of the MSI (Status is UP), the MSI doesn't have a page that shows WDS MACs . I know the routers are connected because when I connect a laptop to the Moto wireless network, it gets an IP (and the DHCP on the Moto is disabled) and the default gateway of the connection is the IP of the main (MSI) router.
The problem is I can't surf anywhere. I can't even ping the MSI router - which should be possible if the WDS works properly.The Moto Wireless Bridge Operation is set properly to Access Point/Wireless Bridge .
Can anyone solve this?
Thanks.

David, welcome to the discussions.
Are you refering to Airport Extreme Setup as the Extreme base.
Or are you using a 3rd party Router as your primary Base, or the Express as the primary base.
Read the supplied link, Not all 3rd party routers are WDS compatible.

Why does my phone keep saying "There was a problem deregistering this iphone with icloud?"

Every time I try to restore my phone or completely erase everything on it, a box comes up that says "There was a problem deregistering this Iphone with iCloud." Why is it saying this and how can I fix it?!

Try recovery mode to restore your phone:

There was a problem deregistring this iphone with icloud

There was a problem deregistring this iphone with icloud?

This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Backup to computer first and sync Apps to iTunes first!
Restore in recovery mode will work, be persistent and retry
Recovery restore challenges
- computer didn't detect recovery iphone, attempted and failed 3 times
rebooted computer then recovery restore worked
- recovery restore was successful, unlocked, and iMessage/Facetime, Find My Iphone, ALL WORKS!
Restore from backup challenges
* Make sure you have plenty of harddrive space!
- have to restore first then restore from backup, i did this incorrectly by restoring from backup and the find my iphone feature got stuck forcing me to recovery restore
- each restore from backup attempt will copy the original backup and create another backup folder. My original was about 10gb, so it copied another 10gb onto my computer's harddrive
- when i restore from backup, my computer ran out of space and errored out/failed.
- I tried again to restore from backup then figured out where the backup data folder was and tried to transfer to external harddrive but not quick enough and failed again.
- finally cleared the extra backup data files and restore from backup was successfull
Missing apps from restore from backup
- Downloaded all my missing Apps from APP store
- I have 300+ apps and there are only 15 screen scrolls, have to organize before apps will populate and load, very difficult to organize now. Wished I had sync Apps first.
Conclusion
This process took me literally 20+ hours to correct and will probably take me few more hours to organize the apps into their respective folders...
At least I got everything to work. Hope this helps!

Can I uninstall iTunes now I have my iPhone set to sync with iCloud?

I decided that I wanted to completely phase iTunes out of my life now that I really can't see a need for it. I now have my iPhone set up to automatically create a backup to the iCloud. This will obviously make it easier when buying a new iPhone or iDevice. However, I need to be sure that I'm safe before I uninstall and remove iTunes from my PC.
Does having my iPhone set to sync with iCloud in settings now mean that iTunes can be made redundant and mean I can safely now remove it from my PC? Will all of my apps and music be safely backed up too?

I have reconsidered my situation and realised it would probably be more wise to hold onto iTunes. The only reason I wanted to get rid of it is because it uses up space on my hard drive unnecessarily. I also don't have any music on my iPhone that I did not buy via iTunes, is Match the only way to make sure your iTunes purchases are backed up to iCloud? When I buy a new iPhone and set it up the new way, I won't get my iTunes purchases automatically installed again?
My other issue is that I soon plan to do a fresh install of my OS when I purchase Windows 8. I will obviously lose iTunes and didn't want to have to go through the trouble of setting it up again if I really don't have to.
But I also today realised the only way to do a restore should anything go wrong and the only way to request a refund on a purchase is through iTunes, which makes it more worth while keeping around.
