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.

I share a plan with my sister. I think she's checking my emails, contacts etc. It is her account but it's my phone- is that legal?

I share a plan with my sister. It is her account and I pay my share of the monthly phone expenses. She's is checking my emails, contacts etc.If I skype she know who I spoke with and what we talked about- I'm not a kid- I'm 50 years old. Is what she's doing legal since it's her account or would I have any recourse?

This is a technical, not a legal forum. We cannot advise you on legal matters.
But from a technical perspective, you could have your own account setup, but for whatever reason, you do not.
There may be consequences from a technical point of view.

I recently changed my aol password and now I cannot get mail. When I go to settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars the accounts portion is grayed out and will not let me open. How do I fix this problem?

I recently changed my aol password and right after I changed, I cannot get mail. I get a a pop up block that says, Cannot Get Mail, the user name or password for AOL is incorrect, settings, OK. I go to settings as suggested but the account area is grayed out and will not let me open. Need help on how to fix this problem. I tried sync with my PC and that did not help either.

It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it.
I found some links on the Yahoo! website that might help:

I've send from Lightroom 5 photos in Jpeg format to my desktop that arrive as Archive and I'm unable to do anything with the photos. I want to put them in a folder but can't. It seems problem is in them being in 'archive'. Any suggestions?

I've exported photos from Lightroom 5 from my laptop to my wife's desktop. The photos arrive as Archive and she's unable to do anything with them, such as catalog them in an IPhoto folder with other photos. Is there an adjustment I need to make when exporting from Lightroom 5 so we can avoid this problem? Thank you.

How to change icloud email password on ipad7

I have posted messages about the ongoing problems I had had with not being able to send or receive my icloud emails and BT Yahoo emails for the past 3 weeks. I have tried many processes as suggested on the Apple Support Communities and BT forum without any success. I have just noticed that when I check my icloud email account on my ipad, the password is shorter than my new one which I changed a few weeks ago. However, when I go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>icloud account and then update my password and click on Done, the details are verified and all the ticks appear correctly but when I go back into my account, the password reverts to the previous one. I then tried to delete my icloud account but the message "If you delete your account, all documents and Photo Stream photos stored in icloud will be deleted from this ipad". As I am not sure whether this means they will never be retrieved or are always stored in icloud (I also backed up my ipad last week), then I have not deleted it. Can anyone please advise on any of these points above as I am absolutely desparate having spent many, many hours trying to rectify my 'cannot get mail' issues!

I'm sorry, but I know nothing about iCloud email. I stayed away from iCloud email and only use iCloud for limited purposes.
But take a look at this discussion and read the response from randers4. He is one of the iCloud experts in the Apple Support Communities.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24358339#24358339
If that doesn't help, you might be better off posting in here where there are other more knowledgable iCloud users.

My ipad2 was blocked because I changed my email password

Please I need some help, because I changed my email password and then I cannot enter again to my ipad2

What do you mean you could not enter again in the iPad? Did you go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts and your account name > Incoming Mail Server > Password and change the password, then Outgoing Mail Server > SMTP server name > Primary Server > Password and change to the new passwrod.

Settings Mail, contacts Not showing Email Accounts

My email accounts continue to "check for mail". I'm on my network at home. All other devices are working fine on the network. When I go to Settings>Mail, Contacts to check the servers, when I select Mail, Contacts, my IPAD locks up. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi James and welcome...
Sync your Contacts with iTunes.
Connect your iPad to your computer. Make sure you see the iPad under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window. Select the Info tab. You should see *Mobile Me* under the Info tab.
Select: Sync Address Book Contacts. Scroll down to select Mail accounts, Calendars, etc.
Click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.

HT5361 suddenly I cannot see my gmail in my inbox on my macbook. I deleted the gmail account and added it back but I cannot see new gmail in my inbox. I can see sent gmail but not incoming gmail. The gmail is visible if I go to my google account on goo

Suddenly I cannot see my gmail in my inbox on my macbook. I tested it and I can see my gmail in google. I deleted my gmail account on my macbook mail and re-added it and still cannot see incoming gmail. I can see new icloud e-mail. I have both a gmail account and an icloud account. For my test e-mail in gmail, I can see sent gmail but not incoming gmail. How do I fix this?

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

My IPhone 4s will not let me edit my email accounts or add a new account; I can't click on them under settings - Mail,Contacts, Calendar

Why does my IPhone 4S not let me edit my email accounts or add a new account? In Settings> Mail.Contacts, Calendars I can't select these items.

Settings/General/Restrictions - enter the Restrictions passcode - Allow Changes to Accounts.

I cannot access my email options when in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars

When I go into Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars, all my mail accounts are greyed out and I cannot access them. Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve it? Been going on for a month or so now.
Thanks

Well, you or someone had to enable restrictions. If you can't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to restore your phone as a new device in iTunes to remove it. All data on your phone will be lost. Since the restrictions passcode is included in the iPhone backup, restoring from backup will merely restore the restrictions passcode.

I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. my iPad recognisIes the change of id but on my MacBook Air, iCloud just keeps asking me for a password for the old email address/account. How can I get iCloud to recognise the new details? Help please!

I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. My iPad recognises the new detail in iTunes and iCloud but when I go into iCloud through my MacBook Air, it requests a password for the old email account which I can no longer use. There is no Option to be able to change this email/ID detail as I cannot get further than the password request. Can anyone help please - this is driving me insane?!

Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID? (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

I had recently changed my email address and can get into my itunes and phone fine but icloud willnot let me log in to shut it off. It has my old password. How do I update it? It will not let me delete it out.

I had recently changed my email address. I changed it through itunes but did not through icloud because I thought it would change everywhere. Now my phone is acting up andI need to reset it to factory settings and cannot because icloud wants a password. Even though I put my old password in which is correct it still will not accept it. HELP

Hello tjcornman,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing after changing your Apple ID. I recommend the following article for an issue like this:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

HT1937 I tried to update software on my Iphone 3 from Itunes after i managed to sync phone to laptop but then i had a message (error 1015) after completing saying itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode, i am now unable to do anything with my phone

I tried to update software on my Iphone 3 from Itunes after i managed to sync phone to laptop but then i had a message (error 1015) after completing saying itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode, i am now unable to do anything with my phone, please help!!

You generally get that error code on a jailbroken phone ?
If it is Jailbroken then I am afraid you will get no help here.

I have been hacked on my email account and had to change my passwords .tried to go direct to my email app on my ipad but it wont let me into my emails because i have changed my email passwords.How do I change my password on the ipad to get into my email

Can anyone tell me how to change my password on my ipad to access my email app as now that I have changed my passwords for my email account I cant access my app with my new password and do I need to do this on the computer rather than the ipad?

Go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap on the account that you want to change on the right-hand side and if it's an IMAP type account then tap on the Account line at the top and one of the fields that you then get should be Passwords

TS3899 I had to change my email password so now have to do the same on the ipad. but when I go to settings-mail contacts etc- I can see my accounts but I am unable to do anything with them (they are light gray not regular bold black). now what?
