Why do I get an error message saying Cannot Get Mail?

Why do I get this message - Cannot Get Mail - Connection to server failed?

When you double tap the home button, you should see a screen that looks like this. You see all of the apps that you have recently used going across the screen. You can swipe from screen to screen to get to each and every app. In order to close an app, you drag the app preview window up "off" of the top of the screen. Don't swipe up on the app icon, swipe up on the thumbnail preview window. You will see the window fly iPad off of the screen. That's how you close an app.
Find the Mail app by swiping from screen to screen - if it's not already visible - and swipe up to close it. This has nothing to do with the control center at all, so don't swipe up to get to it.

    Hi my nan keeps Getting an error message of cannot get mail the connection to the server failed.... Can any one tell me what this means please

    I too am getting this message. I have been using my iPad for two years with no problems but a couple of days ago I starting having this problem intermittently. I have restarted the iPad when that did not work I deleted the account and reloaded it. Nothing seems to work. I was having the same problem on my iPhone but that seems to be OK today. Any other ideas?

  • HT204053 When signing on to iCloud I get an error message saying "cannot sign in due to server error"

    Why can't I sign into iCloud from my pc?  I get en error message saying there is a server error.

    Start with the basics. Force close mail and reset your iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't help, you might want to consider resetting your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds. That can help at times even if all of your other devices are connecting to the Internet. I suggest this, because the message that you are getting may be due to a bad connection to the Internet.

  • When connected to wifi, I get an error message saying "cannot decode raw data"

    While I am at school, I can connect to the wifi, however I can only access google, and the apple website. When I try and google something to work on a project, I get a messgae that says "Cannot Decode Raw Data" it is getting rather annoying, and I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. The only time I have gotten this message is while at my school, it has worked before but only started this recently.
    Is there a quick fix for this? Is it something caused by the wifi at school?
    Thanks in advance.

  • I keep getting an error message saying cannot find or create the font "arialunicodeMS' s

    I keep getting this error message and all I can see are dots. Can anyone help? thank you.

    Seems like an issue with the fonts not being embedded in the PDF and the same not being available on your system either. You could ask the PDF creater to embed the same in the PDF and provide you with the new PDF.

  • I have rented a film on iTunes using my iPad but when it reaches the download stage I get an error message saying cannot connect to the server.

    Error regarding server connection problems when trying to download rented film on my ipad

    Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it.  So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID).  If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

    Are you sure you are connected to wifi.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • HT1924 why won't itunes download on my pc. I get an error message saying not correct 64 bit download??????

    why won't itunes download on my pc. I get an error message saying not a correct 64 bit download???

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    I am trying to change my Apple ID. Try to do this I keep getting an error message saying ‘This email address is designated as your rescue email address and cannot be used as your Apple ID or Primary email address. Please choose another.’ The email address that I want to use did use to be my recovery email but I have changed it, so that address is no lonegr associated with my account. I do not understand why I cannot use it as my Apple ID now.  Can anyone help?

  • I get an error message saying that the original file could not be located on about half the songs in my library. Not all but half.

    I'm unable to play approx. half the songs in my library. I get an error message saying that the original file could not be located. I am asked if I want to locate the file, I click locate and get  a screen with a list of confusing looking files and nothing seems to solve the problem. As is probably apparent by now I am not particularly computer literate. I don't understand why this problem occurs on only half my library.

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
