Thunderbird keeps asking for my password when I try to send emai but still doesn't work after I enter it.

I am using Thunderbird Ver. 35 and yahoo mail as my server on a windows 7 64 bit computer. I use the same password on Thunderbird and Yahoo. I always click the "use password manager to remember password" box. Occasionally the mail is sent but very infrequently.
Can you help?

it's not asking for a user name just the pass word. I can log into Yahoo mail using my user name and password with no problem. I assume the user name is the same for both.

My mac keeps asking for a password when I try to install adobe flash player. Even with the hint I'm not getting it and also tried uninstall and the same thing occurred.

It's referring to the MAC password that you have setup.
A software prompts for a password only when there are restrictions set on the user account for unauthorised access to system files and folders.

Never empty the Trash in the shell (Terminal.)
1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

Cant receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when I respond same message- password

Suddenly can't receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when i
put it in,same message flashes up, reset does not work, also waiting for apple time lapse, still does not want to give me my yahoo mail on this format, tried talking to apple online contact, cut off, I'm receiving through safari, nothing through my email app

Give it time. Yahoo has been doing things to their servers that often muck up the Mail app. Usually it takes 24-48 hours to run its course then it'll work again.
if it doesn't clear up by the end of the weekend, you can remove and readd your account, but chances are it'll just start to work.

Why does iTunes keep asking for my password when I want to listen to my music on my iPhone?

When I want to listen to music on my iPhone, iTunes keeps asking for my password. I am not purchasing anything. It started today. Why is that?

I've been having the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. I talked to Apple customer service this morning. They had me do the following on both devices in the Settings:
* Sign out of iTunes & App Store
* Sign out of FaceTime
* Sign out of Game Center
* Delete iCloud account
They also had me restore my iPad due to some glitchy behavior in the Music app.
Things seemed to me fixed for a few hours until I went into the iTunes Store app on my iPad and added a movie to my Wish List. When I went back to the Music app, the dreaded "Sign In to iTunes Store" popup started showing up again on both devices. Suspicious!
So, I cleared out my Wish List in both the iTunes Store and App Store. I've been poking at the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad since then I haven't seen that popup once since then. I'm not going to declare victory yet since it's only been an hour or two, but I thought that this was worth mentioning.

My iphone keeps going in circles asking for my password when I try to update apps, help!

My iphone 4 (not sure if its a 4 or 4S) stopped letting me update my apps after an ios update a few months ago. When I go to the 'updates' section in the app store, I have several apps that need to be updated. Whether I click 'update all' or try to update each app individually, it asks for my password. I input my password, but the updates do not start. If I click 'update' or 'update all' again, it again asks for my password, and just keeps going in the circle without ever actually starting the updates. This is happening on my ipad as well. I know an option is to delete my apps and reinstall, but I don't want to do that and really feel there must be a way to go back to being able to update. I've tried turning my phone off and on and reseting, but now with two ios updates later, I'm still not able to update any of my apps. Help!

Were these apps acquired with the same Apple ID?
Authorization for the update requires the password for the Apple ID used to acquire the content.
Does the same issue occur if attempting to update the apps via iTunes on the computer?

Printer keeps asking for a password when printing in safari or firefox

Hello I'm new to the Mac. I have been a PC User for over 30 years.
Here is my issue. I print in safari or Firefox and every time it asks for a password from the user. I click remember the key but everytime it pops up when I want to print.
How do I fix this.
Thanks

Hello, & welcome to the forums & Macdom!
Welll, this is a new one on me, does it print from other Apps without a Password?
Is this for any site, or just certain ones?

Keeps asking for keychain password when i open programs

i open safari, it asks for a password. I open almost anything and it asks for a keychain password, and i put the password i use to login to my username and it says it is wrong. I want this off, i dont want this coming up, so how do i go along doing this, especially without the password?

I'm not entirely sure this will work if your keychain is already locked, but try this:
* Log in as the user who is having the issues
* Open up System Preferences -> Accounts
* Make sure the user under "My Account" is highlighted
* Enter a new Password (you'll have to enter your currenty password first).
Note: this does not have to be a different password, you can use the exact same password you are using now, but you must re-enter it.
* Re-enter your password in the Verify field.
* Click on the Show All Button or any other button to get System Preferences to save your changes.
At this point a pop-up menu should show up telling you your keychain password has been reset. You may have to log out and back in again, but you shouldn't be getting the keychain pop errors any more.
Alternatively if you don't have anything important in your keychain you can always delete your keychain and it's preferences, of course then you'll lose all the information that's stored there.
HTH.

Asking for my password when I try and delete a file

I have a few files that I can't seem to delete without the computer asking for my password. When I try and delete them, it shows this message:
Authenticate
Finder requires that you type your password
Then the window has fields for my name and password. Under the Details arrow it says this:
Requested right: com.apple.desktopservices
Application: /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app
I'm not happy with having to provide my password just to delete a file. And not all files produce this result. Why does it do this?
Cheers,
Tina

Select the folder containing the file in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu; if the file is on the desktop, click on the desktop so that no icon is selected. Under Ownership & Permissions, change the settings so you have Read & Write access to the folder. This should not be done in system-level folders.
You will be asked to enter your password when you try to delete the file in the following circumstances:
1. If the folder you're deleting the file from is set not to allow you write access. This is the most common case.
2. If the folder containing the file has the Locked checkbox set. This cannot be turned on or off in the Finder in versions of Mac OS X older than 10.4. If this was the case, you would be told that you didn't have permission to delete the file even after entering your password.
3. If the enclosing folder has the sticky bit set and neither the file nor the enclosing folder are owned by your account. No item in your home folder should have the sticky bit set, but other parts of the hard disk(such as /Users/Shared/ and the hard disk itself) do.

Why does my Mac ask for my password when I try to make a change on my external hard drive with Time Machine?

I recently formatted the hard drive to do a fresh install of Mavericks on my Macbook Pro Retina. I then formatted my Western Digital 2 TB External Hard Drive for Time Machine. I then began storing others files and folders on the external hard drive along side the TIme Machine Backup folder. Everytime I added a folder or changed a foler name it asked for my password.
This has never happened to me before using any other OSX.
I apologize if this has been resolved before, I'm new to the communities and have yet to find a solution.

It is not a good idea to be storing other Stuff on your Time Machine drive. You may need an additional separate hard drive for those things.
Once you tell Time Machine to use a Drive, Time Machine owns the Drive. You (as a User) do not have permission to put things there. If you insist, it will do it, but wants your Admin password to do it.

Aperture keeps asking for serial number when I try to open it.

When I try to open Aperture it asks for a serial nummber. I plug iin the serial number and it asks for the original version software number. I plug in that serail number but it will not accept it even though I have checked and it it the correct number.

Jodie84,
I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.

I was tinkering with it last night and found that the mac mini didn't like the frequency that the router was using to communicate. I changed from channel 6 to channel 9 and the problem went away. Perhaps an auto setting would have worked but I'm using and older Linksys router and the auto was not an option.

Even with MAC addresses entered into Airport Express, my devices keep asking for router password. Basically, MAC filtering on my AirPort Express is not working

I just got a new laptop form work and wanted to add it to my home network. Even though I put in the MAC address, it continue to ask me to put in the router password. Not only that, it started to do that with my other devices within my home network.

With Airport Express setup being relatively quick and easy, I would put the work laptop aside while you reestablish your home network and ensure that your non-work devices operate without having to re-enter Router Passwords. Once that is done, I would turn the work laptop on and see if it discovers the home network. Once you have entered the network password once, look for an option to remember the network. It may be defaulting to your work network on each re-connect.
