Why does FaceTime keep asking for the password for my email account?

Is it secure to provide the password for my email address to FaceTime?

Usually when that happens it is a problem on the mail provider's end.
In time they will catch it and it will end. Until then, there's nothing you can do on your end.

Why does Safari keep asking me to set up a Twitter account

Whenever I sign in to Twitter, Safari asks me "Would you like to allow other OS X applications to use this Twitter account?". I would like to use this feature but is there a way to avoid answering the question every time I sign in?

Hi Sigmo,
You can turn those messages off, no problem.
# In Firefox on your tablet, go to '''about:config'''

Hope that does the trick!

Why does Firefox keep asking me to set up my Sync account when I've already done it TWICE?

Seems every time I restart my computer and open firefox, it forgets that I have already set up my sync account. Under Options/Sync is says "set up firefox sync." I have done it 2 times now and the browser still "forgets." Any idea what's wrong?
I'm using Firefox 4 and an iPhone 4 with the app. I successfully synced 2 times with my iphone and then firefox proceeds to act like I never did. Very buggy!

Why does mavericks keep asking for my login password?

why does mavericks keep asking for my login password?

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
          Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Why does it keep asking for my password ?

Why does it keep asking for my password when i open the APP STORE ? Theres no updates and i aint downloading anything. Any help ? Thanks.

It shouldn't really ask you anything. One way to possibly forestall this from happening again would be to register and enter your own ID and password. The system won't ask you for anything else, since it has all the user info it needs.
When is it asking you questions? When the App Store opens? When you click on hyperlinks to documents?

Why does iClod keep asking for my password?

Why does iCloud keep asking for a password? I don't remember asking for this and if I try to turn it off it threatens to delete my calendars off my mac but keep them on some else's server!

Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sing back in (your data will download back to your Mac). See if that stops the prompts for the password.

Why does it keep asking me for a password?

im trying to use mail for my email services.
when i first registerd, i had an apple id, and email address at mac and all that stuff.
recently, i tried to use a different email address, and ive had nothing but grief.
1. i dont use mac mail, or me mail, or whatever crap it is now, i never have and i never will. i tried to delete my mailbox for my mac account, as well as deleting the account itself from my preferences > accounts menu, but whenever i click the "get mail" button it keeps asking me to enter the password for:
“wappit” on SMTP server “smtp.mac.com”
now, for reasons my feeble mind is yet to comprehend, i am totally unable to enter any password for this that it will accept. ive tried to re set my password several times, and each time it has no effect.
now i dont want to use this mail server, at all, for anything.
how do i adjust my mail program so it stops asking me for a password that i dont have, for an account which i cant access, to use a mailbox that i dont want?

I am unsure as to what you are referring to with respects to my accounts, but ill try and clarify.
I vaguely remember having to sign up for an apple ID several months ago. since that time, my mail program has been asking me for the password for the server (as i listed it) and i have never been able to enter a password that it accepts. Ill be the first to admit that computers are not my strong point, and especially not Apples, as i used PC's my whole life, but i do write down passwords that i use for accounts.
so anyways, i never used the mail account, or the apple forums up until a few days ago when i tried to set up another mail server (the one i use) so that i could access it from mail.
it wouldnt accept the password that i though it should be, so i followed the prompts and instructions to re set my password. again, it didnt change anything.
finally i created this apple id to access this message board. i hope this clarifies my situation...
anyways, as per your advice:
so i went in to keychain, but all i see is the mail server account that i want to be using, and i dont see the mac server account on the list.

Why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

Hey there mcsafranek,
It sounds like you are getting prompted for your iCloud password very frequently. I would sign out of your iCloud account in Settings first:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
From: iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Then close all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have done that and restart the phone, sign back into iCloud, and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists could you relay what exactly the message says when it pops up?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

ISSUE FINALLY RESOLVED!!!!!!
So, it turns out, I had to restore the iPhone...with a twist! Here are the steps:
FIRST BACK UP YOUR DEVICE
1. Go to the library (Hold option, click on "go" in the finder, then go to library)
2. Go to your iTunes folder in this Library (not application support, the main iTunes folder)
3. Go to the iX software folder (i.e., iPhone software, iPad software, etc.) and delete the file in this folder
4. Hook up the phone and then click on restore iPhone.
At this point, it will redownload the entire OS again. You must then restore the iPhone. As it is downloading the iOS, you can disconnect and use your phone for probably however long you want (I did the restore the same day as the download) and when you are ready you can hook up the phone and restore it.
THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP FOLLOWS:
And one many may dislike. Upon restoring the phone, you MUST select "Set-Up as new iPhone"
You need to make sure you've backed up EVERYTHING elsewhere. 3rd party, non-apple/icloud apps will lose data through this method, and you'll lose all texts, your call history, and super old voicemails. The upside is that, if you've backed up, then you can just restart the process if you forgot something. But seeing as how the popup was interfering with my ability to use iCloud (I couldn't sync anything, such as calendar events, reminders, etc., unless I had gone into mail to sign in to iCloud), it was totally worth it....no more popups.
My only wish is that this thread becomes popular. Many people have this issue and you should only use this method as a super last resort (after trying literally everything I had written previously).

I changed my apple id, but the cloud is not recognizing the new id. It keeps asking for the password for my old apple id, but when I enter it, it tells me it's incorrect.

I wanted to use a different e-mail account for my apple id. I had no trouble changing it, but now when I try to use apps on my phone, they don't work (and they don't sync with the corresponding apps on my other apple devices). It keeps asking me for the password for my old ID. I have tried entering both (old and new, IDs and passwords) to no avail. I went to the store where I bought the phone (ATT) and they tell me that this is a common problem. Can I fix this myself or do I have to go to a store, which is a hassle?

Did you change the name of the AppleID like described here?

Hi Aurion23,
If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

Why does google keep telling me my password is wrong? I only have one and it works for everything else

Why does google keep telling me my password is wrong
It works fine on my I pad but my i phone does not show e mails or messages
And the message keeps on saying the password is wrong
I only have one password and I know what that is
But google does not seem to recognize it
Maybe I should change my e mail provider
My I phone is useless if I cannot pickup messages and e mails

May be a problem with Google's 2 step verification, see if this helps you:

Photoshop Elements Photoshop elements 12 keeps wanting me to register the product after installing but keeps telling me I have no internet connection or the clock is wrong, why does it keep asking me this? I have register online via the main webpage.

Hi,
You need to sign in when using Photoshop Elements 12 as it is the method of activation. If you sign out it deactivates that installation.
If you are having problems, see if the following helps.
Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
Good luck

Why does Iphoto keep asking me to authenticate my User ID?

Why does Iphoto keep asking me to authenticate my User ID?

A bit - it tells me that iPhoto has nothing to do with it but it is a server you are trying to publish to. What server? ME,com? FaceBook.com? Flickr.com? ????
The first thing to do is go to the servers listed in your iPhoto preferences and re-enter the usernmae and password for the service that you have the incorrect information for

Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?

Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?
Once it searches for photos containing (insert name) and says "(insert name) maybe found in 1,750 photos". I click to confirm the said person and it highlights the photos already found in that persons "folder", which already contains 662 photos AND it does not show any of the unconfirmed photos. However, it told me that it found 1,750 photos....where are the missing unconfirmed pictures for me to tag? I have already rebuilt my thumbnails (which already took 3 days to do as I have MANY photos).
