Why does iphone 5 not accept my email password during setup?

I try to set up my email account  in my iphone 5 using my yahoo password but it keeps coming back to enter password

Considering it is happening on all your devices it's likely an issue at the server end. Contact your Email Service Provider.

  • Iphone will not accept my gmail password

    My phone and my mail was working fine until about 3am yesterday.  Now it suddenly says my name and password are wrong.  imap.gmail.com- says it is incorrect.
    1) I try to enter the password again, it still says it is wrong. 
    2) I went on my computer to use gmail- it lets me in using my password.
    3) I updated the software to 5IOS, thinking there was a glitch-the phone was restored in the proceess.  After the update, it still does not accept my password.
    4) I changed my password on my computer.  Iphone still does not accept the new password.
    5) I deleted the account, then put it back in with the password, says it will not accept it- so now I have no email account on my phone.
    6) I turned off the phone and turned it on again.
    None of these things worked, clearly.  What am I doing wrong and why did my iphone suddenly decide it did not like my password?

    One possibility is that if you have Gmail 2-step verification enabled, you need to use an application-specific password in Mail: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en

  • Why does iPhone automatically enter my entire email address when I simply type "gmail" and how to I turn it off?

    Why does my iPhone automatically enter my entire email address when I simply type "gmail" and how to I turn it off?  It also does it whenever I type it in Safari (but not Chrome) and it only does it with one of my email addresses and not any of my other ones (i.e., yahoo, hotmail, etc.). 
    Thanks so much for your help!

    I don't see visible underscores in that login form, but they appear to be entered (that form isn't high enough to show them for me).
    You can verify that in the Scratchpad and use Execute > Display after pasting the below posted code.
    * Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Scratchpad (Shift+F4)

  • Why does iphone 4 not have a softwear update under the general tab

    why does my iphone 4 bnot have a softwear updater under the general tab

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

  • HT1386 Why does iphone sync not merge data?

    Data from iCal goes from Mac to iPhone but not the other way. This is a new phenomenon as it has always worked in the past, so I am certain that I set it up to merge originally, but I don't know how to check that it hasn't been reset somehow nor how to correct it. Help welcome before I have to start entering stuff manually twice.
    Thanks

    Then you may have to reset your sync services folder as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627.  (Although this article refers to MobileMe, it also applys to syncing devices such as you phone.).  This erases your sync history (but not your data), and your mac will see your next sync as your first ever so you should get a merge or replace prompt for calendars and contacts when you sync.  Be careful about selecting merge or you may get duplicates.  Also, you will have to reset your iTunes sync settings as discussed at the bottom of this guide.  Finally, prior to connecting your phone, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically" so that you can connect your phone and reset your sync settings prior to syncing your phone.

  • Why  does i photo not accept my picsfrom email  when i click save to iPhoto

    when i cklick save to i photo from my email where does the picture go? I cant find it  in iphoto

    That's a bug with the lastest verson of iPhoto and the latest system.  No fix until there's a system update released. 
    The workaround is to drag the photo onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock.

  • Why are iphones now not support godaddy email?, why are iphones now not support godaddy email?

    why despite numerous attempts on numerous iPhone, does Apple not longer support Godaddy email accounts? 
    I have followed the proper methods described in Godaddy to no avail.  At this point it is clearly an Apple issue.
    Any help is appreciated. 

    Which "proper methods" have you used exactly?
    These?

  • Why does my iPod not prompt me for password but my iPhone does?

    They both have iOS 6.1. All my apps are up to date. Then, after a couple days go by, a new update shows up on both devices. I go to iPod Touch (4) to update and no password is required. Then, minutes later, I go to iPhone (4) to update the same app, and it asks me for my password. How come iPod never asks for my password, but my iPhone always does?
    Note: I do not use iCloud to update all my devices at the same time. I prefer to do update them myself, one at a time. I am just wondering why one device asks me for password while the other does not.
    Thank you for your time!

    If you have the original ipod touch, then you can purchase 3.1:

  • TS1702 Why does iphone 3g not support skype anymore?

    and the earlier versions are either not available on itunes, or are impossible to instal if downladed from other sources (not via jailbroken iphone cydia or other)

    It's probably because of the old version of iOS that the 3G runs. It can not be updated to more current OS versions.
    More and more apps will not be supported on older OS versions as time goes on.

  • HT201320 Why does auto fill not recognize my email address

    I have set up auto fill. It use to work fine till I cloud was installed. Now when I use auto fill all the information is filled out. But when the page refreshes, it comes back as a invalid email address even though everything is correct. Is there a solution.

    Was this group email successfully sent by your .Mac
    account?
    No; that was the first time I received the error message.
    How many recipients were included with this group
    mailing?
    30+
    Do you send a number of messages to a large number of
    recipients on a daily basis with your .Mac account?
    No; I do periodically, maybe 3-4 times a year to announce major changes with firm. Emails have worked in the past but possible I did them from my road runner account.
    As with most other email accounts, .Mac has a sending
    limit on the total number of recipients per message
    and the total number of recipients for all messages
    sent in a 24 hour period.
    You ISP at home is RoadRunner but you use a different
    ISP at the shared office?
    Yes; trying to find out who it is.
    If you are also accessing your RR email account with
    the Mail.app and RR is not your ISP at the shared
    office, are you able to send messages with your RR
    email account and SMTP server when connected to the
    internet at the shared office?
    I access the RR email via the RR website, not via the Mail App.
    Just hitting all angles in an attempt to eliminate
    possible causes of this problem.
