Outlook 2011 suddenly does not recognize password

I am running OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks. I recently have developed a problem accessing my Exchange account mail through Outlook 2011. The error message I receive is:
The server for account "XXXX" returned the error "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password." Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect. Would you like to try re-entering your password?
I have taken the following steps:
1. I have deleted the account and re-installed the account.
2. I have gone into Advanced settings in the Account tab in Outlook and verified that the username and password is correct.
3. I have tried the NapApp fix which did not solve the problem.
4. I have run Keychain verification which indicated no repairs needed.
5. I have deleted the password from the keychain which did not solve the problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Everytime I try to share/email photos it says server does not recognize password. I have tried email password as well as Apple password. Neither work.

ITunes does not recognize password on iMac, but I can sign in to post here, sign in on my iPad, and sync my iPad to my iMac

If I want to sign in to this message board, I can do so. I can also sign in on my iPad to download updates, purchase new apps and songs, etc. And I can sync my iPad to iTunes on my iMac.
But when I open iTunes on my iMac, it asks for my password and I can't sign in. What is causing this problem with iTunes on my iMac repeatedly asking for my password when I open iTunes?
This is very frustrating. I am also worried that I won't be able to sync when my new iPad arrives March 16. Help!

The solution (for me at least) is to keep trying the same password in iTunes on my iMac that I know is correct. For me, the fourth try of typing in the exact same password works in iTunes on my iMac. I have repeated this several times, and each time it works.
What is messing people up is that when iTunes does not recognize the correct password, people are attempting other passwords. Those other passwords are all incorrect. The problem, as you stated, is that the password was entered correctly the first time but because of iTunes having issues it does not recognize it.
People, just keep entering the password you know is correct. It will eventually recognize it, or at least this works for me. If this still does not work, reset your password (but then you may still have to enter it repeatedly in iTunes).
Apple needs to fix this.

ITunes does not recognize password after removal of corrupt backup file

I removed a corrupt backup file of my iPhone 4 from iTunes and now it does not recognize my password anymore. The password is correct, as I wrote it down when I set it up and have used it before. Any thoughts? This must be some kind of flaw in iTunes or iOS for iPhone.
iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried stopping and restarting Apple Mobile Services, Bonjour and iPod services but it had no effect. The problem still remains - everything works for all 3 iPhones immediately after reinstalling iTunes but none of them can connect with any of the USB cables after a reboot. This problem is still present as of upgrading to 10.6.3.25.
BTW, I do have other choices. I can become disenchanted with the product, use it less and less, then eventually migrate over to some competitor's product.
Cheers,
Chris.

Mail does not recognize password for incoming mail

I use mail to retrive messages from two pop accounts a mac account and a work account. But now Mail shows a message saying that the server for my log in name does not recognizes the password. But if I use the webmail of that account it does recognize the password. I am able to sentmail from that account as well as to receive and send from the .mac account. What is the problem?
Thank you very much for any help.

Your email provider is not copmcast, that is your ISP.
You apparently have a comcast account that you access using their web mail. Not really relevant here as we are talking about accounts in mail clients, not browsers.
The settings you have posted are to access your comcast mail account in Thunderbird, something Thunderbird is designed to do. Manage multiple mail accounts.

My iMovie on my 2011 iMac does not recognize video taken on my new iPad, is there a way to resolve this? I would like to take movies on my iPad and make movies in iMovie on my iMac.

My iMovie on my 2011 iMac does not recognized videos taken on my new iPad. Is there a way to correct this, or perhaps I am doing something incorrect. When I connected my iPad to my iMac, iPhoto popped up, but not iMovie.

You have to import the movie into iTunes via iOS file sharing, then drag the movie from the file sharing window in iTunes to the desktop, then you can import the movie into iMovie. Here are the details.

ICloud on iPhone 6 does not recognize password

Constantly getting a pop up box on my phone asking "Sign In to iCloud". When I enter the Apple ID password, it is never recognized. I have been prompted to change it, and have done so many times. The new password will work on the computer, yet it is still "incorrect", and the same box pops up repeatedly. Eventually I get a box saying "Incorrect Apple ID Password - If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it." Back th
Some people on this community have suggested deleting iCloud from the phone, but I am not allowed to do that as it will not accept the password I enter. Re-starting the phone does not change a thing. Totally stymied about this since I got the phone in September. I appeal to the knowledgeable people out there in the hopes that someone can solve this problem, as I can see that I am not the only one affected.
Thanks,

Hi schlacher,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know that when your Bluetooth connection does not behave as expected it can be very frustrating. In this situation I would first recommend reading over and using the troubleshooting steps provided in the attached article.

Lookout does not recognize passwords when attempting access to client process through web

When accessing client process through a web browser Lookout prompts for username and password but doesn't accept valid username and password.

Passwords are unique to each machine not to the application. For example if I were to load your application onto my machine, my security settings would be in place. I have never had Lookout ask for a password when accessing through a web browser. Does the machine you are using have Lookout on it also? If it does, you need to use the user names and passwords for that machine. If not,try using user name "administrator and no password.
Hope this helps,
Carl

Mac Pro all of the sudden does not recognize my TV

Hey Everyone
I just got a 13 in MBP and have been connecting it to my TV using the mini display port and hdmi cable. Everything has been great for the past month until today. I was gonna steam a movie from my MBP to TV but my TV screen stayed black after I connected all the cables. I checked under System Preferences > Display and Audio to see if my MBP was recognizing the TV and it was not. Could anyone help me out? I have been stumped for the past half hour and need some help.
Thanks

Iphone 4 does not recognize password

My iphone says I have the wrong password for my Airport even though it is correct. I purchased a new ipad which I received yesterday and set it up yesterday. it recognized the password with no issues but that is about the time I noticed the issue with the phone.

please don't provide any personal data like emailaddresses, as this is a public forum, accessible to anyone.
Have you tried everything here? http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
Also: try adding a free gmail or hotmail account. If everything works in that account, I'd recommend you contact to email provider.
Good luck

"Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. itunes does not recognize my iPhone4.

I decided it was time to resync the music on my iPhone since its been months. I begin the sync and after a minute or so, my iTunes suddenly does not recognize my iPhone and freezes. I honestly have no idea what happened but was undaunted.
OS is MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1
Now, after trying:
- updating to iTunes 10.6.3, which stops installing after a popup saying "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. With the options Abort Retry or Ignore. Retry does nothing. Ignore allows iTunes to install but it doesn't recognize my phone still which is all I care to use iTunes for.
- uninstalling all iTunes, Apple, Quicktime, and Bonjour software, which was difficult to do since you have to follow a particular order or else they wont actually uninstall.
- performing a registry clean using CC Cleaner
- wiping my compter's apple related Temp files in app data..
- restarting with a clean boot... updating all drivers.. updating windows..
I am becoming quite daunted.
I have done essentially every single thing I could find that might resolve this error. I restarted and tried again (this is the third or maybe four time) and it still will not install.
I cannot get any third party software to recognize the phone either since I need that Apple Mobile Device. I could always sync my library with Spotify but that's cumbersome and makes me not like my beautiful iPhone.
Any help would be AMAZING. I've run out of ideas.

The link above is bad... that account has been suspended.
Just an FYI, I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and had just downloaded Itunes 10.7 for this platform.
Please know that I have NEVER plugged any Apple device into this great computer.
I have the new Iphone 5 READY to plugin and in ANTICIPATION of installing that phone; I first wanted to start by installing Itunes without any hardware potentially messing up the works.
I have the exact same problem as reported here and in about 100 places here at Apple. Please note this system has never seen ANY of these apple applications including quicktime, Itunes, Bonjour, or anything else from Apple for that matter.
So basically, I'm stuck. I've read the articles at about 20 sites now and it looks like this is a SEVERE and widespread problem; however, I have yet to find a "real" solution.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I'm an IT/Telecom Expert and it took me 3 hours to get the Iphone 5 setup and working properly (mainly because of the screen not working sideways for 95% of the configuration options and being forced to fat finger settings) including everything working with Icloud hosted contacts, facebook, a few networks and getting my gmail out of the way (of Icloud and facebook) and finally getting everything rocking, only to hit the wall when it came to Itunes. Kind of a drag if you ask me. (I'm thinking the Samsung Galaxy III that I returned to get this thing might have been less grief; but I guess we'll see).
Anyone with a real fix, please reply! I could use the help BEFORE I try to plug this phone into my computer!
Thanks!

I suddenly cannot email photos from iphoto. I get a box that says "server does not recognize username or password". I now have to use regular email and cannot re-size my photos.

Suddenly I can no longer email photos directly via iphoto mail. The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password". I used to be able to re-size my photos before sending so that they jpeg or pixels were larger for publishing in newspapers or magazines, but I can no longer do that. Apple tech support told me to change my iphoto "preferences" to using regular email to send. But that does not allow me to re-size. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't know if there was an update that caused this or what? Please help.

The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password".
That error message usually will pop up, when there is a conflict between the "From" setting for the mail account you are sending from and the selected outgoing mail server. Probably the outgoing Mail server is receiving a user name and password it does not understand. When the mail returns unsent, do you see the "Try again" panel with the option to select a different outgoing mail server?
If you do not see this panel, change the Mail "Preferences > General" to "If Outgoing server is unavailable: Show a list of alternate servers". This way, you will know, which server Mail is trying to send from.
Have you tried to set "From" pop-up menu to one of your other email addresses? If that works, change your settings in Mail to always send from this address. You can set this option in the Mail "Preferences > Composing: Send New Messages from". I have my "Send New Messages from" set to "iCloud". That is working best for me with iPhoto.

Somehow my calender was erased. How do I restore it? I have time machine. Fortunately it was synched with Outlook, so I still have it there. But Ical does not recognize the Outlook file. Is there a way to restore from Outlook? resi

Somehow my calendar in iCal was deleted. It was not archived. I have Time Machine. How do I restore? Fortunately it was synched to Outlook, so it is not lost. I would like to out it back in iCal but iCal does not recognize the Outlook file.

Thank you. It's all back to normal (took around 7 hours on the late 2009 iMac). Time Machine's become better now compared to the last time I used it to migrate everything automatically (Snow Leopard days). With Maverick's Time Machine, it's almost like a cloning (except for the password) tool now. But it's always great to name the account and maybe the hardisk the same names so can just replace a newly installed OS.
God bless. Thanks again.
