Why can't I connect to my email when I push mail button on my device

This morning when I checked my email I received an email from my email provider ( yahoo.com ) advising me to change my password because of some suspicious activity on my account. I proceeded to sign in & change my password & was successful ( so I thought ) but ever since I did that I can no longer sign in using any of my mobile devices ( iPhone 6 plus & iPad Air ), every time I hit the mail button on either device I get an error message saying Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed but if I go to yahoo mail on Google & sign in manually I get my email. ( this is a pain in the butt ) how do I fix this as it's driving me crazy.

If you clicked on a link in the email "from yahoo" to change your password you have just compromised your account. The email wasn't from Yahoo, it was a "phishing" email designed to steal your password. You will need to contact Yahoo on their website.
If you did NOT click on a link, but went to https://yahoo.com and logged in to change your password you may be OK. But you will have to update the mail settings on your phone with the new password. Go to Settings/mail,contacts,calendars, tap on the account, update the password with the new one, then go to Outgoing mail server and do the same thing again.

HT1695 Why can't I connect to the Internet when I not at home

Why can't I connect to the Internet when I'm not home

If you do not have an iPad with 3G cellular service, you can only connect to the internet when you have access to Wifi. Wifi is not available everywhere, but there are places that do offer free Wifi service, such as Starbucks, Panera Bread, the Airport, etc. When you are at a location which offers free Wifi access, you have to join their network, which is usuall nothing more than touching a connect option that should automatically pop up, when you open Safari on your ipad.

Try resetting your phone, hold the home and sleep/wake button down until the apple symbol comes up, then release. If that doesnt work, you may have damaged your phone and need to take it to an apple genius bar.

Why can't Safari connect to free wifi when other browsers can?

When trying to use free WIFI in hotels, the connection requires opening browser and then the hotel log in screen pops up for me to log in (room number or sometimes just to say "agree")
Safari does not work!
I set my network connection to Automatic
The WIFI address I want shows up so I can select and the button turns green,next to "Wifi" in Network Preference
But when I then launch Safari, nothing ... I cannot log into the hotel's network
Yet if i launch Chrome or FireFox, immediately the hotel's window pops up and then I am fully on the Internet (and can use Safari
I have no firewall or such , so why can't Safari do what other browsers can?

Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

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 works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Why can't I connect to the Internet on my Adobe Reader? And why do websites tell me I don't have Adobe downloaded when I have an updated version on my computer? It is an IPad,does that affect it?

Why can't I connect to the Internet on my Adobe Reader? And why do websites tell me I don't have Adobe downloaded when I have an updated version on my computer? It is an IPad,does that affect it?

Also, download and open the free Adobe Reader app. Then read the Help section to figure out how to use it.

Why can't I cut and paste email addresses when sending documents?

Why can't I cut and paste email addresses when sending files? I have to type them in each time...And it doesn't remember them for the future, as SendNow did.
Also, it seems that the message I type in is not kept, as it was with SendNow?
Thanks!

Hi drlaura,
You're correct on both counts--these features work differently Adobe Send than they do in Adobe SendNow.
If you're sending files from Adobe Reader, you can access your local Address Book, which should make entering email addresses easier. Please see: I’m trying to send a file from Adobe Reader, but I can’t access my computer’s address book to find my contacts. Why not?
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara
