Why can't I retrieve mail from iCloud.  Have tried changing password, same result.

I can't get mail from my .me address.  This applies to the iCloud website, my macMini, iBook, and iPad.  Began yesterday.  Keep sending reports to Apple, but to no avail.

1.  Make sure you are using the same icloud account for devise and icloud.com
2.  Go into setting, mail and make sure the password is correct.  I have had that happen and I keep emails on the server and would just delete the account and add it back with the correct password.  See if that works.  This has worked for me in the past.

  • Loosing files so why can't I retrieve them from icloud?

    I am randomly getting messages that itunes cannot locate files. I have Icloud and they are all on there! Why can't I go to icloud and retrieve them? What is the point of icloud if you can't get your music off it??

    Hello Lisa.madison,
    How did you do the import from iPhoto? Did you export/ share them from iPhoto to the disk and import them from there to Aperture? That would explain the reduzed quality and resolution.
    Aperture offers two mechanisms to import iPhoto pictures - both are  accessed  from the Aperture main menu    File -> import
    The iPhoto Browser: -  File -> import - Show iPhoto Browser
    This option lets you select and import indiviual photos in iPhoto. Both, the masters and versions are added to your Aperture Library as managed import.
    Import iPhoto Library: - File -> import -  iPhoto Library
    You import the whole library, and you can choose if you want to add the masters managed or referenced.
    With both these options you will preserve all the quality/resolution available in iPhoto; Aperture will import the masters and any versions, and so some pictures may appear to be duplicated after the import. You will be able to tell by the keywords if you are looking at an original master or a version.
    Regards

  • HT1277 why can't i get mail from iCloud on macbook pro 2011?

    When  I click mail on system preferences (mail & notes) it starts then unchecks. This happens in both mail settings when I try to set up new account and in iCloud

    Hi, do you have old settings from MobileMe or dot Mac maybe?
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
              •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 993
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
              •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 587
              •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

  • HT204053 How do I set up my Mac to auto retrieve mail from icloud?

    How do I set up my Mac to auto retrieve mail from icloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you can't get your mail to work on Snow Leopard after June 30, you might want to try one of these approaches
    1. Configuring Mail in Snow Leopard
    2. Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
    Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

  • Why can't I remove iMessage from iCloud backups?

    Why can't I remove iMessage from iCloud backups?
    I've noticed that my iCloud backups are constantly hitting their 5GB max, even after clearing out camera rolls, etc.
    After some testing, I've found that iMessages are also backed up.   For someone like me, I'm constantly sending pictures / videos to friends and family, having a little guy under a year old (but that's not important).
    In any case, it seems you can set iCloud backup for just about every app EXCEPT iMessages.   The only way I've found to solve this is to constantly delete message threads from my iPhone, so that they aren't taking up iCloud space.   But this honestly is a bit of a pain (okay, only a little bit)...  why can't I keep my messages around for as long as I want, without backing them up? 

    Make sure you have their icloud email they use for imessage in their contact information before sending them an imessage.

  • Why can't I delete Mail from my iPhone? it just allows me to Archive, and where do the archives go?

    Why can't I delete Mail from my iPhone? it just allows me to Archive, and where do the archives go?

    You'll have to go to your Settings -> Mail, Contacts, etc -> Email Account -> Advanced -> Deleted Mailbox
    Turn off Archive mode, Turn on Trash
    You can also put the phone in airplane mode to delete them real quick, but that's only a temporary fix.

  • Why can't I e-mail from photos or from inside other apps anymore? I have been able to before.

    Why can't I e-mail from photos or from inside other apps anymore? I have been able to before.

    That’s just the problem I’m having. I follow all the steps as found in the iPhoto help. I select a photo then click the i (INFO) button in the lower right corner to open Faces - Keywords - Places pane. Then select the Keyword I want to remove, then the delete key. The key word I want to remove is removed okay at that point, (from the Keywords pane.)
    However, when I go and do the same operation on a second photo - again the keyword is removed in the Keywords pane - then when I go back the first photo - the unwanted keyword is back.

  • HT4847 I get 5GB of backup, have 3.5GN available, why am I getting e-mail from icloud that I have exceeded my icloud storage?

    I get 5GB of backup, have 3.5GN available, why am I getting e-mail from icloud that I have exceeded my icloud storage?

    Your iPad cannot have 25 GB available, it could have 28 GB, are you sure you are not referring to your iCloud storage space.

  • Why can't I send mail from IPad while overseas

    Why can't I send mail while overseas? I can receive but al though have placed smtp other server in settings I still cannot send

    To get the right scoop for setting up your outgoing server, google your ISP and the words email settings, and you will likely find a page that will give you the settings.  While you are there, see if there is a restriction on where they will send from.  Some US ISPs simply will not send e mail, if you are put of your home territory.  The. Only way around that is a different mail provider, such as gmail, yahoo or whatever.

  • Why can't I delete mail from my iPad?

    I can delete about ten of the messages but after that the edit/delete button doesn't work and sends me out to the first page where all the icons are.  And when I get to the first page, the mail icon still has the same number of incoming mail listed. 
    I took my iPad to the Apple Store and they restored the Mail software.  That worked for a short while but is again refusing to delete mail. i've changed the mail settings from 50 to 25 to 200 recent messages.   Nothing seems to help.  Frustrating.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I hate having so many undeletable messages on my iPad.  Helen

    I can't delete the Mail.  I've tried holding the mail icon until it start jiggling, but no x appears on the upper left.  I've tried shutting and restarting the iPad after that.  Still no success. 

  • Why can't i send mail from ipad?

    I changed my password on my mail account. Now I can receive messages on ipad, but can't send anything because it says settings are incorrect. I have manually changed password. I have deleted iCloud.  Suggstions?

    1.  Make sure you are using the same icloud account for devise and icloud.com
    2.  Go into setting, mail and make sure the password is correct.  I have had that happen and I keep emails on the server and would just delete the account and add it back with the correct password.  See if that works.  This has worked for me in the past.

  • Why can't i delete photostream from icloud ??

    I was trying to delete some picture that i don't want to share with anyone so why can't i delete or where it the button say that is should be somewhere say DELETE BUTTON on photostream??
    I did go to icloud and click on advanced to reset my photostream but it keep saying error urgh why am i getting this again and again?? it shouldn't be so difficult just to delete only few pictures but why should i reset whole picture why WHY?? I think you guys struggling since RIP Steven Job passed away and you should be able fix this by now so please please help me on this thank you....

    I didn't say SJ announced the lack of a delete facility.
    I meant the way it works now is the way it worked when it was announced by him back in June because the OP was implying that due to SJ no longer being with us, somehow that had some bearing on there being no delete function, and somehow that must mean Apple are struggling without him.
    Too frequently on these forums lately, people attribute what they see as "bugs", "omissions" or "oversights" as being a result of Steve Jobs no longer being around, when in fact these things were decided long before Steve even stepped down as CEO.
    Photo Stream wasn't developed in-between 5th October and 12th October, so SJ would've known about the lack of a delete function way back in June, and long before that too.
