Setting up iPad mail password

I am getting errors when I try to check email thru my yahoo mail account. It says I need to set a password in my mail account which I have tried to do in the mail settings on my iPad. Is there somewhere else I need to set it? It worked two weeks ago.

It should setup email automatically when you enable it in your iCloud account.
If not, here are the settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864

Is there a way to set the iPad Mail app to only get email manually, not automatically when the app is opened?

I usually don't use my iPad Mail app to check my email, but sometimes I go into the Mail app just to send a test email or check an attachment in the Sent folder or some such, and every time I enter the app, Mail checks for new email. Which means it ends up downloading five hundred emails or so if I haven't been to the app in a while. Annoying! I haven't been able to find a setting that will stop Mail from checking for new Mail when I go into the app; is there such a setting?

You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

Cannot set up iPad mail account

I have just bought an iPad. Setting up the internet connection was fine, but I am having trouble with mail. I want to set up my Tiscali e-mail account so I am using "other" e-mail set up.
I have put all the data in to the required fields, but when I go to save the set up I am given a message "unable to verify SSL". I have tried to save the account not using SSL but I get a similar message.
I would be very grateful if someone could please help me out.

Check your outgoing port number (for SMTP); many ISPs won't allow sending over port 25 via a 'foreign' network

Setting up iPad Mail so messages appear to come from an email forwarder address

I currently have my iPad set up to send and receive email from my btinternet.com email address and this works fine. I also have an email forwarder directed to the btinternet address and I would like to set up my iPad so that emails appear to come from the forwarder rather than from the btinternet address. I guess I need to set up a separate account but despite trying several times so far, I have been unsuccessful. Can anyone advise?

Yes, with iOS 6 your iPad can use your iPhone phone number to send and receive messages. Your iPad must be using the same Apple ID for iMessage in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive as your iPhone. If it is, and you don't see the number listed, first confirm that your phone number appears on your iPhone in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive. If it does, then on your iPad try going to this setting, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in.
To have your messages addressed as being sent from your phone number, select your phone number on both devices in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, under "Start new conversations from".

Looking for App/Setting for Messages/Mail password protection

Well its a bit simply really, I am just looking for something that will allow me to password protect mainly my messages, although it would be nice if i could password protect other apps or things on my phone, but its mainly for messages
Is there some kind of app that will allow me to do this?
I dont think there is anything in settings but a general password, which it only asks for when you unlock the phone

I've has smartphones since before they were called that, and I've never had one that could password protect only the email app. There's nothing to understand or not understand; the iPhone cannot password protect just email. You can lock the phone with a passcode. That's it.

My iphone is locked by a pop up that says enter voicemail password, I can't turn off my phone, answer calls, text messages, or even unlock my phone! I cannot cancel out of it. I never set a voice mail password in the first place anyway.

How can I get back into my phone if I cannot turn it off or unlock it?

Hold the lock and home buttons untill you see the apple logo. This is called a hard reset and is the equivilant of pulling the battery out and putting it back in.
Also if you have never set a voicemail pin the phone is asking you to set one.

After password changed, Gmail is not working on iPad mail apps.

After Gmail password changed, iPad mail app's not working.
I changed password on ipad setting too.
But its showed ' Theuser name or password for "Gmail" is incorrect. '
I can use Gmail from safari.
Why?

Try this. Even if the outgoing primary server states that the username and password are optional, fill them in anyway.
Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if you can then send emails.

Password protection for the iPad Mail App

Is there any way to set the mail app so that the user must enter a mail password to access the account?

No, sorry, none. It's not a horrible idea, though . . . .

Mail password doesn't work only with my Airport unit with MacBook, iPhone, iPad

Starting a couple of weeks ago, and every week for a few hours, my mail password will be rejected on my MacBook, iPad and iPhone when connected through my Airport Extreme. I'm not sure whether this is related to the firmware upgrade I did two weeks ago. It had never happened before.
The password is correct. When I connect from any of these devices through another network, it works fine. The problem only occurs with Mail, and only through my particular Airport Extreme (4th generation N) unit.
All other Internet access through this unit works fine.
The mail account is an IMAP account through Intermedia. An Exchange account with Intermedia (a separate mailbox) works fine on both my computer using Microsoft Outlook and iPhone Mail.
The last time this happened, the problem randomly fixed itself within a few hours. Now it's happening again.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Fixed itself again two hours later. Intermedia is not reporting any problems and since the other mail account (on the same server) works fine, I don't think it relates to them.

Can i set up an access password for the ipod on my ipad 2?

I purchased an Ipad 2 for my son to use in his therapy for autism. He knows how to use it and knows that we have purchased shows and movies for him to watch in the car. Well now that is all he wants to do. I am wondering if there is a way that I can set up a password to access the ipod. If he cant get into the ipod to see shows and movies he will be fine with just playing the games we have for his therapy. I have looked online and have not had much luck finding an answer to this question. So again can someone please tell me if there is a way to set up an access password for the ipod on the ipad2??????

Have you got Home Sharing set up (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819) ? i.e. he may be viewing the content from your computer, not on the actual iPad. If that is the case (which would explain to me him being able to access the videos via the iPod app), then the Restrictions settings that I've already mentioned should also work on that 'remote' content.
Edit : your last reply appeared whilst I was typing/checking this. And no, the Videos/iPod apps can't be passcode protected, you will need to go back into Restrictions and remove the restriction, or if the films are only on your computer and not on the iPad itself you could turn off home sharing on the iPad whilst he's playing the games : Settings > iPod and tap on your account id and/or password on the right under Home Sharing and delete it/ them (re-enter them when you want to re-enable it).

I am setting up ipads for use in an elementary, and I would like the "home screen" to be the apps, rather than the default with the chat, mail, etc icons. how do I change that?

Can anyone answer this question?

Depending on exactly what you want to do, there are a couple of ways of handling this. You may want to access teh user guide for some ideas: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
In particular, check the sections on Customizing iPad and Settings > Restrictions.

I am trying to set up a mail account but I get a warning that my password cannot be sent securely to the server. how do I correct the problem?

1. If you haven't tried this already, just delete the user account entirely, and then try setting it up again.
2. To find the permissions file:
     a. hold down the option key
     b. go to the Go menu in the finder
     c. scroll down to Library and open it
     d. in Library, go to Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences
     e. drag it to the trash and restart.
3. if that doesn't work, go to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. In the Keychain Access menu, do Keychain First Aid, and repair.
This should keep you busy for a while.
