I keep trying to update my mail inbox but keep being told connection to the server has failed.

Quit the maill app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account >Mail>Off. Restart the iPad and go back to settings and turn mail on again and see if that works.
Or try this as well ....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.

Help My Iphone 3GS the hotmail has stopped working and my contacts and the calendar no longer hook up to it it keeps saying the connection to the server has failed and it running the latest 5ios

Hi please help I have an Iphone 3 G S it is using the 5.1.1 ios upgrade which it has had for sometime although there was a minor update last evening ? My phone worked fine until arround 1 pm today then it stopped getting mail from my hotmail account along with the hotmail I am not longer able to see any updates to my calendar and most of my contacts have dissapeared. I have tried reconfiguring the hotmail account, deleating it, and putting it back on, and changing the password but none of these has worked. I know hotmail is working from my computer and it also working from another app I downloaded to the phone just now ( mail pro) but it still says connection to the server has failed?
Thanks so much

Click on your Hotmail account in Settings, click on the blue arrow and Forget this Network and try signing in again.

My email keeps sayig the connection to the server has failed.

Who is your email provider? Have you checked with them to make sure you're using the correct settings when setting up an account on a mobile device? And what does auto-browsing have to do with using email?

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.

"Cannot Get Mail...the connection to the server has failed"

On my iPad 3, "Cannot Get Mail....The connection to the server failed" .... This is the message I get when I try to retrieve or send an email. My wifi is connected and has a strong signal. Safari works well. If anyone has the solution to this problem...please help! I have not received any email since Oct. 13th. My mail is coming thru on my cellphone and laptop just not my iPad 3. Any suggestions??

What kind of mail account is it? e.g. yahoo, hotmail, gmail etc.
Also it sounds like an issue with the incoming mail server so as Lawrence Finch kindly suggested make sure all settings are correct.

HT1694 my mail keeps saying "the connection to the server has failed" help!

how do i fix this?

Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
If that doesn't help then try a reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Still no joy, contact your email service provider to make sure there is no service disruption on their end.

Trying to update Apple TV software, but keep getting "update was not successful" message--what gives?

Trying to update Apple TV software, but keep getting "update was not successful" message--what gives? Definitely have wifi connectivity.

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

iphone is diabled- connect to iTunes because i forget passcode.
i cannot connect iTunes because it's always asking to enter passcode on iphone.
So, i cannot make restore my iphone 6+. And then, I cann't erase "device" in icloud.
My iphone is new. No icloud. didn't connect to itune backage.
That's why I try to connect iTunes but it need to enter passcode.
So, my iphone just keep "iphone is disbled-connect to iTunes".

I keep trying to install and reinstall itunes but keep getting apple application support not found...how do i fix this?

I keep trying to install and reinstall itunes but keep getting apple application support not found...how do i fix this?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally.

HT4972 I'm trying to update my iPad 2 but it doesn't give me the option in the settings

I'm trying to update my iPad 2 but it doesn't give me the option in the settings

See
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

HT4946 I am trying to update my Ipad 1 but it is taking hours on the backup - why would this be, how can I make it faster so I can get the latest IOS update?

I am trying to update my Ipad 1 but it is taking hours on the backup, what can I do to make this faster?

I'm thinking that you have a corrupt backup. You can try this if you want to give it a shot.
Without connecting the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. See how many backups you have for the iPad. If you have multiple backups, delete all but one. Click on the backup in the window and then click on Delete.
Quit iTunes, connect the iPad and then try again.

I was trying to update my IPAD 2 but it stucked, any idea what the problem can be

I was trying to update my IPAD 2 but it stucked, any idea what the problem can be

Stuck how ? What is showing on the iPad's screen, and/or in iTunes on your computer ?
If the iPad won't start up then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

TS2972 I have 46 movies downloaded from apple on my windows 7 PC I can only see 32 of them on my apple tv, I keep trying to share on my computer but they will not connect, any ideas?

I have 46 movies downloaded from apple on my windows 7 PC I can only see 32 of them on my apple tv, I keep trying to share on my computer but they will not connect, any ideas? Sometimes I can connect though computer and get all my movies but usually I can not connect though the network.

thank you Diesel vdub this helps but I just need to clarify - I understand about copying the intire folder ( cool thanks ) for the second part though, you are saying I can not do this if the 2nd computer does not have internet access? ( which you seem to be saying - bother! )
many thanks

HT201210 I just updated my iTunes and now I get a message that the application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. What happened and how do I fix this? I can't access any of my music now.

I just updated my iTunes and now I get a message that the application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. What happened and how do I fix this? I can't access any of my music now.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
