When I open my email I get a pop-up with an iCloud icon asking me for my AOL password. When I enter my AOL password, it doesn't take it. What is it really wanting?

My AOL mail is no longer in my "Mail" account. When I get the iCloud pop-up and enter my AOL password (which I verified is correct), it won't take it.  I don't use iCloud for mail so not sure why or how this happened or how to remedy. Anyone?

Hello! iCloud and AOL are two seperate things, even though you CAN use your AOL email address as a login for iCloud. This gets confusing sometimes. Anyway: when iCloud asks for a password you should fill your icloud/apple id password, not you AOL password (unless by some chance they are the same passwords)
If you can't remember your icloud/apple id password, reset it from here: http://id.apple.com/

  • When i open my computer I get the white screen with apple symbol and there are vertical lines all over the screen with green pixels and after a few minutes the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer what happens

    3 years ago I bought an IMac Desktop that I am using for a lot of things but the most important for dvd montage in Imovies and Idvd.
    Now today when I opened my computer I get as usual the white screen with the Apple symbol but there were all over the screen vertical lines with green pixels and after a while the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer using the power button or the restart button and when I do so each time the same is happening somebody can tell me what is happening and what caused this. This computer is my work and now I have no income anymore.
    On the Apple support site they are asking to enter the serial number and when I do so I get message it is wrong but it is the only one I have and I buy this computer in Cairo Egypt. I am living in Hurghada in Egypt for the moment. When I call the technical support of the shop where I buy it they are telling me that it is the hard disk or ram and that I probably lost everything on it and they are asking a big amount to repair.
    Can somebody advise me on this matter. Thanks in advance

    You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
    If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive. 
    You can also boot into Safe mode
    To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
       1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
       2. Press the power button.
       3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
          Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
       4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
    Please post back with results,
    To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

  • When I open my Email I get lover lat on the first to boxes where you check to delete

    Only on firefox and just as of two days there seems to be a over lat on the first two boxes of my emails also can not check more then one box at a time to delete. I must look at each email to get rid of them

    You can try basic steps like these in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and only cookies from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • When I send an email, I get a pop up that says "unable to save a copy to the sent mail box". How do I enable this feature?

    This doesn't happen all the time. It seems to occur when I send an email from a webpage, not directly from my Thunderbird account.

    Please note that Thunderbird is not an email service. Thunderbird is the program that can be used to read mail.
    The email provider, is the part of your email address that comes after the "@" symbol. Can you please post that. (Do not post your entire email address, for privacy reasons).

  • Since downloading Mountain Lion, I keep getting this pop up notification but it disappears to quick for me to even read the first letter. How can I disable this, and what is going on??

    I got mountian lion for my macbook pro when it came out and since then, a mac notification pops up every once in a while and it just flashes on the screen real quick and then goes away. I can't even read the first letter so I don't know what it's saying or how I should fix this/disable it. Any ideas??

    I haven't figured out what caused it, but I seem to have fixed it by doing a simple back up and restore to factory settings than set up with the back up. Everything is working fine now. I would recommend trying that if you haven't already.

  • When I open up Firefox I get 2 windows one with my tabs and the other is ad on manager how do I stop the second window if I try to close it both windows clos

    This problem just started when I start up Mozilla fire fox it opens 2 sessions or something the first one has my tabs form the previous session the other one is blank except for the 2nd window only has add on information, but when I try to close the second window it automatically closes the whole thing and I have to start all over again, what can I do

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

    Disable Yahoo Messenger in your Yahoo Mail account.

  • When I open the browser I get a extra tab besides my home page that opens. I only want my home page to open.

    When I open the browser I get a extra tab besides my home page that opens. I only want my home page to open.

    Extra pages can be a sign that a bad add-on has crept into your Firefox. For example, an Astromenda infection.
    cor-el pointed you toward Firefox's Add-ons page, and I suggest also checking here:
    Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    For further cleaning, try the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

  • HT1695 What is an Exchange account? When I open the email app I get the message "Password Incorrect. Enter the password for the Exchange account "Exchange""

    What is an Exchange account? When I open the email app I get the message "Password Incorrect. Enter the password for the Exchange account "Exchange""

    An Exchange account is an e-mail account serviced my a Microsft Exchange server... Typically a corporate e-mail account. It used to be possible to configure a free gmail account as an Exchange account, but it is no longer possible to set one up that way.

  • When I open an email, my computer won't go to the link listed, or when I am doing research the same thing, then I see a ALLOW in the upper right hand corner of the screen and I have to click on that. What happened and how do I fix this?

    Somehow my settings have changed. When I open an email and there is a link, my computer won't allow it, also when I am doing a search, my computer won't allow certain links to open.
    What I see is "ALLOW" in the upper right hand corner of the screen, and I have to click on that in order to continue my email or do a search. How did this suddenly happen and how do I change it back to being able to roam the Internet without having to click on ALLOW all the time?
    Also, I set up Google as my home page, but it won't list Email or any other options. I have to type in Google in the Google box, then Email appears. How do I get the right Google set up as my home page so I can access Email without jumping through hoops.
    Thanking you so much for your time and consideration.
    Sincerely,

  • My wife has an ipad2 which is synched with my imac. When she opens an email, it also opens on my imac, and when she deletes an email it deletes it from my imac. This is very frustrating. Can anyone help?

    My wife has an ipad2 which is synced to my ipad (on snow leopard).
    When she opens an email it opens it on the imac, and when she deletes an email it deletes it from the imac, whether it has already been opened on the imac or nt.
    This is very frutrating and annoying.
    Any ideas?

    It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
    You can get it here:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
    You can download the latest version from here:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/
    Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?
