TS3988 Hiya... I can't get my iCloud mail account to activate on MacMini running OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.

Hiya... I can't get my iCloud mail account to activate on MacMini running OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Be sure the mini is connected to icloud (system preference>icloud) and that you also have mail turned on. Then be sure the mail program has the icloud account defined in it's preferences.

ICloud mail settings not saved in System Preferences on Mountain Lion

I note that iCloud mail settings not saved in System Preferences on Mountain Lion even if I tick mail in Icloud then close system preferences then open system preferences and it is untiked again?
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Cheers
Paul

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I can't get my iCloud mail To Work

I've tried every ID and password I can think of and I still can't get my Apple Mail to send/receive emails from my iCloud Account?
What do I need to do to just get it setup correctly. I've tried following the tutorials but haven't had any success.
Any ideas?
(Also, when I try to Setup Mail With system prefs->icloud it tells me Mail can't be enabled at this time try again.
iCloud on my Mac and my iPhone is so frustrating... There are also too many user ids... very confusing!

You should only have one ID for iCloud, and perhaps one for the iTunes Store, depending on how you set it up.
To setup iCloud email you need to login with your iCloud @me.com email address and iCloud password.

Can not setup my icloud mail account on my new mbp

i just bought my new mbp 13" and signed in into my icloud account but when trying to setup my icloud mail i get a failure logging into the icloud server but all other mails and internet setting are ok. what to do? also when i open the pref of mail and look at the icloud account i see that the incoming server field is empty and i can not fill it ( it does not let me).
ideas?
thanks

Not sure what you mean by "within iCloud mail" but if you can't view your iCloud mail inside the Mail app on your phone, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Mail off, then after a few seconds turn Mail back on again.

HT201320 Can you have two icloud mail accounts?

Can you have multiple icloud email accounts?

I gather you have created a second account. You can sign in with this in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars and check Mail there. This account will appear alongside the 'primary account' (the one signed in in System Preferences>iCloud) - however you won't get 'push' email, it will be checked periodically.

Can't get past Syncing mail accounts

Hello,
As it says in the subject line, my iPhone won't get past Syncing mail accounts. If I deselect the mail account in iTunes then it syncs. I have looked this up and it seems that most people are pointing to a dialogue box that is hidden behind iTunes that needs clicking on but there isn't one with me.
I think that the reason behind the weirdness is that I have just swapped over the hard drive in my computer. I made a clone of my old one using Disk Utility then swapped it over. It synced once without a problem but since then it gets stuck on syncing the mail accounts. This is not the first time I have swapped a hard drive but it's the first time something is misbehaving because of it.
Also, my iTunes library is located on an external hard drive (this is the reason for swapping the internal drive - to get more space) and so was not located on my internal anyway. Having said that, the iPhone apps are located on the internal (there doesn't seem to be a way to change that option) and there was some weirdness with an app that wouldn't sync but I have since deleted.
Sorry for the rambling - any help or advice would be much appreciated.
All the best.

I think I get it.
Since my mail accounts were set up fine, there's no need to continue syncing them with iTunes, unless I change mail settings.
I haven't changed, so I should be fine unchecking "Sync selected Mail accounts".
If I do change my mail settings in the future, I can do this independently on the iPhone.
I'm still not sure why this turns into an endless sync - but I can live without re-syncing and "do it myself".
Did I get that right?
Thanks, Damon!

Still can't get to iCloud mail since 9/11 11amCST. Help?

Can some one please give a realistic ETA and timezone when iCloud mail will be back up??
<Edited By Host>

Only Apple can do that and they may not even know.

It's a really bad idea to post your email addresses - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.

Can I change my icloud mail account name?

Hi, when activated mail on icloud.com I typed wrong username that I wanted to use. Now I have to use alias to people can recognise my when I want to use it. Is there some way to delete my mail account on icloud and create a new one? I tried looking for some solution but a I didnt find any. Please help and sorry for my english I am still learning it.

To change the iCloud ID go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

Help!! i can't get my e mail account back

Hi there I recently removed my sim card from my phone and when I put it back in for some reason only one of my e mail accounts I have only came back on as an icon. I tried to re add it but when I enter the e mail addres it says that it is invalid &needs to start with a letter or #. .however it does start with a letter. So wtf. Why does it not work and how can I get it back working ?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull Reboot
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

How can i get the info off of an old appleworks database. to my mountain lion. OS X?

how can i get the info off of an old appleworks database. to my new mountain lion. OS X? My old data base is on AppleWorks 6

1. Read Roger Wilmut's excellent series of articles Abandoning Appleworks, especially the one on databases.
2. Call the Apple Store and order Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping: 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only).
3. Install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8, now available for a short time (4 more days) in the March 2013 MacUpdate 10 App Bundle for $49.99:
4. Install Appleworks 6.2.9 into Snow Leopard Server and it will now run concurrently with Mt. Lion:

How can I get my old mail account back?

I f&%€ up and deleted my old mail account after I had added my new one ( I've changed ISP). So all old mails disappeared.
Is it possible to restore them my self? Or do I have to go to the Mac doctor?
I'm greatful for all help

Hi John and thank you.
I use Mail.
I deleted the settings for the old account by mistake - I just thought I wouldn't need it anymore after having set up the new one - and suddenly the inbox was empty. A not so nice surprise
However I managed to find a folder named Mail with a POP - folder in it, in the trash can, which I dragged to my desktop. But I haven't been able to import it.
I found some useful earlier threads and intructions from some David Gimeno, so I removed the .mbox extension from the INBOX.mbox file.
BUT still, Mail won't import. It says it doesn't find any valid mbox files.
The INBOX.mbox is about 12 Mb, so I recconed there would be something in it.

I can't get my MobileMe mail account working with ...

I have spend hours with trying to get my MobileMe (www.me.com) mail account to work correctly based on IMAP protocol on my Nokia 5800. I have the correct settings, I have tried both with and without SSL, and I do have other mail accounts working (synchronising properly with IMAP on the 5800). I do use and access the same email account on other devices and PCs and have no similar problem. Consequently I am confused. how to get the issue resolved and would appreciate your help if you have eventually experienced this symptom and did come across it.
Thanks,

TS4002 I had 2 iCould Accounts - one on MacBook Pro and one on iPad - long story. I changed the one on my iPad to sync with laptop. Now I can not get my iCloud mail on my iPad since it only want to set up a new one, not my existing one. How do I fix it

Hi:
I had two iCloud account - one on my iPad set up with Me.com. Its a long story as to why I had two account which I will not the issue. I changed my iPad account to link up with my MacBook Pro account - which is my primary account. After doing this all seemed OK except I could not get y primary iClould email account set. When I tried to add my primary iClound email account it only allows you to add a NEW iClould account which is not what I want.
How do I correct this issue? Thanks.

Thanks Winston but your solution did not work. In my iCould account everything works except Mail - that being contacts, calendar, reminders, etc. When it comes to mail it is currently OFF. When I turn it ON, it states that I need to create a NEW free iClound account, and allowing me to establish my existing account.
When I tried your solution, it stated that the account already exists but in reality it is not on my iPad.
Any more thoughts?
