  • Imessage working fine, tried to add email as well as number then it stopped! Now just says waiting for activation!

    I tried to add an email address to imessage as well as my number so my friend could email me from their ipad.
    Firstly it said there was a problem with my apple ID password so i reset that (new password works fine, i have been able to download apps etc since!)
    Now under iMessage it just says waiting for activation.. and it is only here i get the message saying my password is incorrect?!
    I have tried rebooted and restarted phone many times.
    I can no longer send imessages to other iphones, just texts! Its driving me mad!
    why will it not recognise my password?! i even tried adding an extra email account and verified that with the password - worked fine!
    HELPPPPPPP

  • Firefox crashes when trying to add email attachment: Crash Signature: MSONSEXT.DLL@0x4f8b5.

    Every time I try to add an email attachment in GMX.net for the first time after opening forefox, I click the "search" bar to add a file from my computer and firefox crashes. Sometimes it works after restarting firefox after a crash, but it happens way too often and every time I have to fear that my whole email is gone because of it.

    It works OK now. Earlier today I received an email with an attached slide show. I downloaded the slide show, watched it, and closed the email. Afterwards I tried to create an email with an attached photo and it worked!
    I used to do Fortran programming on a 7090, but it seems that the home computers containing all sorts of software from who knows where and with who knows what faults, do not always work as they are supposed to. Whatever happened to logical certainty?
    Thanks anyway for your help. Jim

  • When trying to add email account it says "user name or imap password are incorrect"

    Username is correct, what is the imap password? How do I solve this?

    The problem is that either your user ID or password is incorrect. You may be entering the username without the domain (@domain.com) and it requires it, or you have included it ([email protected]) and it doesn't permit it. If it's IMAP it's possible that the outgoing mail server has a different password from the incoming. BTW, did you enter the userid and password for BOTH the incoming and outgoing servers? The outgoing is usually required also, even though the iphone says "optional". It's only optional to the phone itself, usually not to the email provider.

  • I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have separate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.

    I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have seperate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.  I have tried many things and the only guess I have is that either someone else has this email as their iMessage but is fake or it wasn't taken off my old iPod when I reset it.  Any ideas on what to do?

    Thanks but that doesn't give me the information I need.  I am putting an email on my ipod for people to contact me for iMessage and FaceTime but when I put the email in, it gives me an error saying that the email cannot be veirified because it is already in use.  My Apple ID can be varified, just not the email that they will contact me with.

  • I am not receiving the verification email when trying to add an email account

    I am not receiving the verification email when trying to add an email account to facetime and iMessage. Is there something else I can do?

    Hi,
    I don't ever remember getting an email when Adding an account.
    Apple seems to verify it some other way (a self test to see if it is valid ? an actual email ?)
    I tried adding an older @mac.com account that is not a valid email (gained when MobileMe was the Apple service and the @Mac.com registration was used for iChat names).
    I then tried  to add a Yahoo one.
    This got past the first part and said an email has been sent.
    As you say this has never arrived.
    ( checked the web Site for Yahoo Mail as well as my Mail App.)
    In each case I also checked the Spam and Junk folders in both places.
    I then tried an iCloud ID.
    (FaceTime seems to treat the Original Apple ID and the iCloud issued email as separate IDs)
    I did not get and email (Although it said it was sent) I did get a Pop up for the FaceTime app asking if I wanted to add an email and a second for the actual email itself.  (It turned out it added an @me.com email also issued by iCloud before the @icloud.com was issued.
    This is much the way iMessages adds emails when you add the emails to  an iPhone, the Mac version gets pop ups.
    I recently had something similar in Messages that might be related.
    In Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) it seemed it could be any Apple ID that was used.
    In Messages 8 it seems this has to be an iCloud linked one.
    The @mac.com one I used above could not be added to iMessages either when I tried it about two months ago.
    It might be one I have removed the creating/Recovery email so that i could create another Apple ID.
    The name continues to work in Messages as an AIM valid screen name but I could not add it as the iMessages account and got sent to iCloud to "register" it but ran into problems that I have not sorted out yet.
    EDIT.
    Checked the Apple ID site and the @mac.com email I used has no linked Alternative/recovery email.

  • 2 items: 1) importing cvs columns do not match t-bird columns 2) error msg when trying to add 2nd email account

    Hi and thanks in advance for lending a hand.
    Issue #1
    Followed instructions at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Df8mRL3TBs to import cvs to t-bird – but
    My cvs headings are not name, email m chat name, org, additional email etc etc
    Why are my columns names not showing up?
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    Issues #2
    Adding second email address in thunder bird
    email address #1 works fine - but trying to add 2nd one – having error msgs poop up.
    1st error msg is:
    [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIMsgIncomingServer.verifyLogon]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://messenger/content/accountcreation/verifyConfig.js :: verifyLogon :: line 98" data: no]
    Pressing “done" again yields different error reply: Incoming server already exists.
    [end of error msgs]
    Have tried box1121.bluehost.com as well as mail.bikempowered.com for server hostnames - various ports and SSL’s
    The Tech at blue host claimed there this was a bug known to thunderbird – and that a solution is known to be needed.
    Seeking solutions - also I’m 90% Luddite - so please if at all possible, but things in “for Dummies” mode
    With gratitude and hope,
    Brian

    About .csv check your .csv-file as a text file.
    Is the first line your column-names separated with a "," ?
    It should be. When you import, mark that 1st line has column-names
    Then move Tbird's names around until they correspond with yours. Your names will not be imported.

  • When trying to add Facebook account to my iPhoto 11 (9.3.1) I get this error message "Facebook didn't recognize your email password combination"

    When trying to add Facebook account to my iPhoto 11 (9.3.1) I get this error message "Facebook didn't recognize your email password combination". Email and passwords are correct.  Problems are even with veryfication code which I am asked to use instead of password.

    In the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete the account and re-enter it
    Or
    iMHO the better solution is to set mail as your email client in the iPhoto preferences
