Trying to set up a yahoo account in leopard, need help.

i am trying to set up a yahoo account but it wont let me. what are the incoming and outgoing servers for yahoo mail? what settings should i apply? does anybody know how to set up a yahoo account in mail? it says things like "trying to log into pop.mail.yahoo.com failed" and " smtp.yahoo.com failed"

Unless you're a paying member of Yahoo! Mail Plus, you can't use Mail to send and receive email. You can probably send, but definitely not receive. If you're too cheap to pay, then go with a Gmail POP account; it's free.
You can find all the information you need to setup Mail to send and receive email through Gmail here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275

Have you tried your spam folder? it could have gone there by default. also, are you sure you put the correct email in for iCloud?

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?

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 this so that I can set up my email account?

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.

When trying to set up my eprint account. I get an error message my email

When trying to set up my eprint account. The error message is my email address is on file and I need to sign in, then when using my password, I am told I need to set up an account for the eprint center.

The issue you're experiencing is most likely due to an old Snapfish account registered under your email address. ePrintCenter and Snapfish account information is stored in the same place and I've seen this conflict before. You will need to go to http://www.snapfish.com/snapfish/welcome, click the "Sign In" in the top right hand corner of the page and then click the "forgot password" link and enter the email address that is causing your problems, you should receive an email from Snapfish that will let you create a new password there. Once you've created a new password for Snapfish, try to Sign In on ePrintCenter (http://www.eprintcenter.com/) using your email address and the new password you created for Snapfish.
If I have SOLVED your issue, please feel free to provide KUDOS and make sure you mark this thread as SOLUTION PROVIDED!

HT201359 I'm trying to set up my purchase account, but it keeps asking me about an iTunes code I have to feel in but I don't know what is that code and where do I get it?

I'm trying to set up my purchase account, but it keeps asking me about an iTunes code I have to feel in but I don't know what is that code and where do I get it?

THe iTunes gift code is an optional field, you don't have to fill it in - gift cards are an alternative method of paying for iTunes content, but as they are not available inall countries (and they are country-specific, they can only be used in the country in which they were issued), you may not be able to fill it in anyway. If they are available in your country then you might be able to buy cards from Apple, supermarkets, electrical stores etc
If you have a credit card then you can use that as your payment method instead. Otherwise there are instrutions on this page for how to create a new account without giving a credit card number (it won't with existing, or partially created, accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

Error is: Cannot connect using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?
Answer: Yes
Then "Verifying" appears at top of screen but nothing happens.
Tiscali/Talk Talk is the provider.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If your son is under 13, then you will need to set up an account for yourself and allow him to use it.

You want to restore from the backup. Do not set up as new. You can read the article that Tom posted above, but it really is pretty simple.
Transfer any purchases from the old iPad into iTunes, backup the old iPad in iTunes and them sync one more time.
Connect the new iPad and when prompted during activation, restore from the backup that you just created and then sync with iTunes.
The new iPad should be identical to the old iPad, but you will have to enter some passwords again on the new device.
Transfer purchases.

That would tend to indicate a permissions issues on the computer.
Running an outdated version of iTunes is of absolutely no benefit.
All iDevices work with the current version of iTunes.

I've done everything I know in order to get my calendar in iCloud synchronized with my macBook, my IPad and my iPhone, but get no success. I've checked if all devices are set to the same account. Can you help me?

The only thing I can see strange is that when I login my iCloud account through my principal email address, when I check my preferences is marked an @me.com address that is old and I don't use it anymore, but I can't erase it or even change it.
