When I hit the e-mail icon on iPad air I always get "cannot connect to server".

However, in a couple of seconds the e-mails load up just fine. It seems as though the iPad is not waiting long enough for the server before giving the "cannot connect" message. Is there a fix for this?

The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

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.

Fatal error on versa mail. unit shuts down when i hit the versa mail button

During deletion of emails from my versa mail account the unit crashed. When I hit the versa mail button now, the unit shuts off. I cannot access my email on the unit.
Post relates to: Treo 650 (Cingular)

try erasing all the data to factory specs, but back everything up with a hot sync- This worked with my 755P
After erased/formatted, try versa mail. If it works then create a new user name and export the backed up data to the new username and sync.
I was having the same issues, but my phone was not restarting or crashing. I formatted the phoneto factory specs and it works fine now, I just cannot figure out how to export my favorite buttons to the new user name.
The reason why this may work is a setting in your user name that was tinkered with or messed up. Going to factory defaults is just another way of starting from scratch.

Is there free voice mail service? if so how do i get it to work? all i see when i click the voice mail icon is the accept/decline for visual voice mail and that says theres a charge?

Is there free voice mail service? if so how do I set it up? When I click on the voice mail icon all I see is the accept/decline agreement for Visual Voice Mail and it said something about charges will be applied on my bill so I declined.

Your Basic voice mail is a free required program for you if you do not want Basic Visual Voice mail (free) or Premium which is a paid service. Basic Voice Mail set up is free and easy to do.
1. Sign in to your My Verizon online account.
2. On left side of page in Blue letters find the drop down menu. Click to open menu then go to change features and locate Basic Voice mail and click the Red add button.
3. When you're done making this change click next at the bottom of the screen and then ok.
4. Now go into your device and set up your Basic voice mail program. You may continue to receive an error message for a period of time “Visual voice mail update”, just clear and disregard.

Hope this helps.
How would that help the original poster?

My iPad is telling that it cannot connect to server when checking for emails but I can connect to the internet

My email was working great, I tried sending a large attachment and couldn't, I cleared that and now my email cannot connect to server, internet is working fine, any suggestions?

Sometimes it helps to close the mail app and reboot the iPad. That will reset the app and the iOS system. Try mail again after that.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I have just added Facebook app. When trying to register it in Settings it won't accept password - says cannot connect to server. Working fine otherwise

Having just joined Facebook, I have added the App to my iPhone and iPad mini but the iPad mini is coming up with an error message when trying to log it in Settings. Seems to be stuck in loop "cannot connect to server"

You can't override it no matter what you do. The device has to connect to the server to complete the iOS update. You could try rebooting the iPad and see if that lets you connect to the server after it starts up.

If that will not work, you can try connecting to iTunes on your computer and see if the activation will complete. Sometimes when thes activation issues arise, you end up having to restore the device again, but first things first. Reboot and see what happens.

I keep getting cannot connect to server when I try to get my yahoo mail. What can I do?

Help. I have deleteted and reset but keep getting "unable to connect to server" when trying to get yahoo mail.

My yahoo messed up last week. One of the accounts resolved itself, the other i had to delete off my ipad and set back up
I think yahoo messed with things on their end that made issues for any users on the servers they're mucking with.

When I send email out in Chinese from iPad,Receiver(PC)always get wrong text

When I send out a Email in Chinese to any person,they always receive wrong text .

It is probably an encoding problem. The only thing you can try is to switch the OS language between English and Chinese and see if it makes a difference. Otherwise the recipient will have to adjust at their end.
Send me a test message if you like so I can see what is happening (tom at bluesky dot org).

I cannot get into the iTunes application on my iPad. I have a wireless connection.

I cannot open the iTunes Store ap. how do I get into the store?

I'm having the same problem on my ipad 2. Error message "cannot connect to iTunes" pops up when I open the App store. I can access iTunes app without issues though. This only happens when I'm on wifi at home. At work, I can access the App Store and iTunes.
I don't think it's the internet because I'm using a stable wifi connection and can browse websites. Plus, my iphone can connect to both App store and iTunes at home and at work. This has been ongoing since I updated my ipad to ios 6.
If anyone knows a fix for this, it will be very much appreciated.

When I hit the attach icon in mail I can select folders but not individual files

When I hit the attach icon in mail I can select folders but not individual files

Hmm....
It all smells like third party software conflict. Can you think of any candidates for third party stuff that interacts with mail, attachments, the file system?

Help I just installed the latest update on my IPhone4 and now I can't open any of my stored podcasts. When I hit the podcast icon, the screen goes white for a second and the goes back to the opening page with all the icons. What happened?

Help! I just installed the latest update on my IPhone 4 and now I can't access my podcasts. When I hit the podcast I on, the screen goes blank for a second and then opens to the home screen with all my icons. What happened?

Try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously you see the Apple logo and then release.

all of a sudden my itunes wont come up when i hit the desktop icon. un and re installed many times, tried new users, it finally gave me "you need to reinstall sqmapi.dll " im a noob and i have know idea what that is or where i can get it. i cant open any file or library that has anything to do with itunes except safari and quicktime are fine. im about to pull out whats left of my hair.

Okay, that's got one thing ruled out at least.
Can you check something for me, big? I'd like to see if iTunes launches with the Bonjour Service disabled.
In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
... and click OK.
Restart the PC and try launching iTunes. Does it open this time?
