Why will my ipad not allow me to set up an email account?
I have been trying to add an email account to my new ipad. i follow through all the steps from settings. I complete the incoming/outgoing details, add the password, click next it then starts verifying........from this point it freezes. the only way to reset the ipad is tp turn off and turn on again.
Any suggestions? my email is an ntlworld email and the service provider is virgin.
Thanks
Quit the settings app completely and reboot the iPad and see if that will let you set up the account.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot 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.

I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows. This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10. Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?
Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)

Why will my ipad not sync with calendars on my imac?
I did find the info tab while trying to sync my calendars, but my iPhone5, iPhone 4S and iPad still won't sync to my MacBook Pro.
Are you using Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks?
There is no Info tab and you need to sync contacts & calendars via iCloud. -
I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. This is a POP3 email Account? I always get a message reading that the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. I have no such problem with gmail. What could be the problem and how do I resolve this. Is it about settings?
Richard.Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do. -
I was recently hacked so I had to change to another email account and now iCloud won't let me back up because it is still only allowing the old email acct to be the main one. How can I switch to a new email account for my iCloud?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button) -

Why will my MBP not allow me to load any .jar files?
Recently after the Mountain Lion update came out, my java launcher (well I supposed that is the problem) will not let me open any .jar files. If you have any clue, please respond. I have been stuck with this problem and trying to find solutions, but I have found none. Thanks in advance!
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action that you're having trouble with again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting. -
My iPad is running iOS 5.1, when I try to update software it says that 5.1 is the current version but would like to add apps that require 6.0 or higher. I have not been able to upgrade to ver 7.0.
If it's a first gen iPad (the one without any cameras on it) then it only supports up to iOS 5.1.1, it can't be updated to iOS 6 or 7.

Why will my iPad not remember my network and password?
Frequently, I pick up my iPad and it has lost the network's name and password. Why is that? The network is on a Linksys router.

Why is my iPad not allowing me to download free app
It keeps asking me for a credit card
If you didn't set up your Apple ID exactly as described in this kb article, you either have to enter a credit card if you want to use the ID that you created - or create a new ID following these steps exactly.
Creating an iTunes Store account without credit card - Support - Apple
If you set up a new ID, you will also need another email address, because you have associated the first emailaddress with the other Apple ID. -

Why will my iPad 2 not recognize any iPod cables? I have tried two different cables in both the wall and in my laptop, but it will not register that it is receiving power, nor will the laptop recognize that they are connected.
Crizzo is right, the best way to charge is with the included power block. That said, the USB cords are interchangable as far as an of us know. (just not power bricks, iPhone and iPod bricks put out 5W of power, the iPad wants 10W and will always say 'not charging' if plugged into less power than it requires even though it will charge, just very slowly)
If you have tried to charge your iPad - with the iPad charger - with multiple cables and multiple computers and get no joy then it's time to head to the apple store and have them check it out. The 30 pin USB port can go bad - mine did - and it's a manufacturer's defect (unless there's any sort of obvious damage) and should be covered under the warranty; -
Why all of a sudden will my iPad not send emails to one specific address at work but still work to everyone else at work?
Contact the person by telecon. Their email address may have changed.
