Why is my iPad saying it can't retrieve my mail it keeps saying about a server.

iPad will not connect to the server so I can get my mail ?

First, make sure you have an Internet connection by either WiFi or cellular if you have that model iPad...do you have the WiFi fan next to iPad in the upper left corner?
Second, do you have the email account setup properly?  Go to Settings > Mail, Calendars, Contacts > Accounts > Incoming Mail Server > is the Host Name correct, is the User Name correct, is a Password set?

  • I can't get my mail it keeps saying can't connect to server. Have I turned something off ?

    I can't get my e mail to work it keeps saying can't connect to server. Have I turned something off?    help!!!!!! :))))

    Under the email provider find the account from which you can't send (you mention Yahoo) and click on that, then the first thing on the next page is the email address so click on that and scroll down to advanced, there you'll find SSL settings. I can provide screenshots if you still require help although I don't have a Yahoo account the instructions are the same for any email account.

  • HT2736 Now, I've reset my iPad and I can't use my account because it says my account isn't used in itune store.

    I've already reedeemed my itune account and used it. Now, I've reset my iPad and I can't use my account because it says my account isn't used in itune store. What's the problem and how can I solve it? Please.

    I'm at home now and have my notes. Creative Cloud had been uninstalled before my practically brand new Dell was restored with the factory backup disks on 12-18 (a whole nother story). CS6 was installed AFTER the restore, so I don't see how any parts and pieces of Creative Cloud could still be on my hard drive.
    On 12-22 I received this Acrobat error: "A problem has occurred with the licensing of this product. Restart your computer and relaunch the product. Error: 130:11." Restarting did not help, so I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat from my DVD, and it worked. I also updated it, just in case. I only turned the computer on a few times after that (not using Acrobat) until the 29th, when Acrobat started telling me I needed to renew my Creative Cloud subscription. That's when the Adobe techs told me I need to get a new email address because CS6 and Creative Cloud share the same email address. ALL of my Adobe products have been used with that same email.
    So tonight, with your advice, here's my update. CS6 listed in the Programs and Features control panel included Acrobat, but Acrobat was also listed separately. I uninstalled the one listed separately. I attempted to use the CC Cleaner Tool after that, but the only option for removing Creative Cloud programs was combined with CS6 programs (which I have already installed twice), so I opted to skip the CC cleaner.
    Of course after that, I had no Acrobat at all. I installed it again from my DVD and updated, and now I can launch Acrobat (same as on 12-22). So...wish me luck, and I'll let you know how it goes.
    Thanks,

  • Why can't I use iCloud it keeps saying my email not verified  .... ,,,?

    Why can't I use iCloud it keeps saying my email not verified but even tho I changed email in appleid.com and have signed into this forum with exactly same details it keeps telling me it's wrong .... Sooooooooo very very stressful

    You have to respond to the verification email that Apple sends you by clicking on the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are check the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. 
    If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone.  I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone.

    I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone.  I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone.  Does anyone know how I can get my music?  I know longer own the iPad so I don't have access to it, but I don't think that should be a problem.

    So you had music on the iPad that is not in iTunes and you no longer have the iPad. Is that what you are saying? If that is what you are saying, iTunes won't "recognize" anything that was on the iPad, that was not purchased from iTunes. If the music was purchased from iTunes, you should probably be able to download it again for free as long as you are using the same Apple ID that you bought it with. Did you try downloading the music again?
    Am I understanding what it is that you want to do? If I am understanding you correctly, you will find this to be useful.

    I admit that I'm a little confused by your remark about being logged into your iPad account. You should be logged into your iTunes account.

    I'm signed in but can't launch acrobat...keeps saying try again... help

    Hey Albert,
    Could you please tell me which Acrobat and OS version are you using?
    Have you tried signing in with a different web browser?
    You might need to refer this KB doc and follow the troubleshooting steps for your system:
    You are no longer signed into your Creative Cloud applications
    Please let me know if this sorted your issue.

  • I can not update my phone it keeps saying error 3004 what do i do?

    I can not update my phone it keeps saying error 3004 what do i do?

    Hey MarleeMason,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing error 3004 when attempting to update your iPhone. The following article addresses this error message and potential resolution:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    Resolve communication issues
    Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.
    Common errors: 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, or 3000-3999. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software", or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build".
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • HT4859 I accidentally deleted a video in my iPad. How can I retrieve it back?

    I accidentally deleted my video in my iPad. How can I retrieve it back?

    Then you will have to pay and purchase the recovery software.  Data recovery software is never free - how would the campanies that develop those tools ever make any money if they just gave it away?
    They let you run a demo so you can at least see if they find any potentially recoverable files in the first place, before you buy the full software package.  If it found something, and you'd like to try and recover it, you will now have to purchase the full progam.
    If you do not have a backup of the file somewhere, then a for-fee data recovery program or service is your only real option.

  • Can't retrieve sky mail after upgrade to IOS6

    I can't retrieve sky mail on my iPad 2 after update to IOS6, I can still get it on my iPhone 4 that hasn't been updated yet, so the problem is not with sky ? Any suggestions appreciated.

    I have the same problem after upgrading my iPhone. I get my mail on iPad still - so it has nothing to do with provider. What's more I can send mails - they go through. But I can't retrieve any. Help/suggestions appreciated.

  • Can not receive Mac mail -error Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct.  Account name: "MacMail"

    Can not receive Mac mail -error Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct.  Account name: "MacMail"
    What are the correct mail account settings and more importantly the correct DNS settings
    Thank you for any help you may be able to provide
    Cheers

    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...

    Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar, tap & hold any icon until they all start to wiggle, tap the red minus sign & close every app listed, tap home button when finished. Then reset your phone:
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • HT4623 Why can't I install any apps keeps saying that my session has timed out

    Why can't I install any apps it keeps saying my session has timed out

    Thanks for your suggestion Ned01, I tried this as a last ditch attempt, unfortunatly it made no difference in my case, but i'm pleased it did for you. However, because you reminded me to have another go at this problem, i tried something else (which i'd unsucsessfuly tried before), that is, i deleted the 'CLICK & SAVE " a/c i'd set up recently,  and reverted to my previous payment me and would you know it , this time it worked !! I set up a trail purchase and it worked.
    It seems to me that other poeple with this problem have to solve it by trail and error, but thank you for your help.Sandystone..
