Account password issues

Got a new iphone last month, i just recently plugged it into my macbook and somehow i reset my phone settings to my old phone. My icloud says that my account is from a email address that i no longer use and cant get access to. My itunes account is correct though and i can access that. I just want to delete the icloud account and make it the same as my itunes one that i currently use. Any help would be great, i am terrible with all of this

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Pop Account Password issues with Snow Leopard

Since upgrading to Snow Loeopard my mail account will not accept my password, every time I connect with Mail it comes up with an error message stating that the pop server hasn't accepted my password - Help

Same with me, the entire Modifier Keys settings pane for the Apple Keyboard does nothing, not just the Caps Lock setting. It works fine for the built-in MacBook Pro keyboard, but not for the external USB Apple keyboard. This worked perfectly fine on Leopard, but after upgrading to Snow Leopard it doesn't. How'd they break this??!

Is the email password issue related to my canceled trial .mac account?

Guys,
I thought this might be something. My trial .mac account expired and I have been getting password issues ever since. I thought having a mac email account was indefinite, however after speaking with CS, they said an expired .mac account and password issues were correlated.
So, for those with ongoing password issues, am I assuming these people who are having password issues have an *active* .mac account? Apologies for the newb/green question.
P.S. I am able to retrieve gmail on my account.

If you've got your .Mac account set up in Mail and the account has expired, that'd be why you're getting password prompts. .Mac email accounts expire with the account--they're not free. Remove the .Mac account from Mail (or pay for it) and the problem should go away.

Hi, I have apple account/password on laptop but can't use the same ID etc on new Ipad. On my account it says ID is only for 1 system. I really want only one ID for both Ipad and laptop. Thanks

I have a password issue and can't get my gmails on my IOS7 devices any more

Hi, there,
Well, i have a problem with my devices, iphone and ipad2, both ios 7, and the issue is that i renewed my google account password and updated it on my devices but i cannot get my gmail emails any more and i get a Cannot Get Mail message and i'm asked to go back to settings on my device and put in my details again, which i have already done ten and more times, and still, to no use.
I even thought maybe i am not typing the right password, so i checked it again on my laptop computer and all was fine there.
Well, i hope there is a kind of explanation to this.
Thanks a lot,
Totoo

Cheers, thanks a lot, it solved my problem.

Windows 2008 R2 DCs machine account password expiring

We've a mixed Windows 2008/2003 environment across 30 connected sites. There is a mixture of 2008/2003 DCs. We've had an issue whereby when some of the Windows 2008 R2 DC have been rebooted, they lose there trust relationship with the domain ie
we have needed to reset the Machine Account Password for the Windows 2008 R2 DC. This only happens after the reboot. Initially the problem was only occuring on one site, but now it has happened on 3 seperate sites.
Servers trying to communicate with the effected DC, are generating Kerberos Event ID 4 (KRB_AP_ERR_Modified) .
Any ideas what may be causing this issue.
Marcus.

Looks, error indicates that the secure channel between the DC's are broken.

Firefox 3.6.13 won't log onto gmail or google accounts, plus issues with hotmail

Running 3.6.13 on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Since 3.6.12, I've had hit-or-miss issues being able to log onto my gmail (no, not a password issue). When I tried loading gmail (either through the unsecure or the https version), the connection would often time out, with Firefox telling me the connection was interrupted and/or had been reset. Hotmail would load, but if I selected multiple messages to move or delete, it wouldn't work, and a notice would pop onto my hotmail session, saying that I wasn't connected to the internet.
So I tried Chrome, and the gmail issue wasn't a problem in Chrome. But, sure enough, the Hotmail thing was still an issue in Chrome.
After running through all the suggestions I could find here and elsewhere--including deleting cookies, cache, etc., and creating a new profile, and running in safe mode, and moving to Firefox 4 beta (same issue as 3.6.x), and a total uninstall & reinstall of Firefox--nothing worked. In fact, after upgrading to 3.6.13, gmail wouldn't load at all. I couldn't even log on to any aspect of my google accounts--so, no docs, no calendar, etc.
So I started over, with a system wipe & reinstall of the OS. After initial install of Firefox, it *seemed* to have solved the problem. But soon after--and this was before adding any customizations other than Adblock Plus (which I have disabled on any google domain)--the problem returned. I ran through the troubleshooting again (e.g., deleting cache, cookies, creating new profile, etc.). No luck. Then I realized the culprit might be... JAVA!
Uninstalled java, and lo! and behold, gmail loaded. But hotmail still was problematic. And gmail was still hit-and-miss, and loading slowly when it did work.
So I went to my work computer, which is also running Win 7 Pro 64-bit, and copied all my Firefox files (install directory, profile, etc.) over to my home computer. Y'see, my work computer--despite having all the same settings and software--has no problem with gmail or hotmail. Well, those same settings applied to my home computer still were problematic. And no, it's nothing to do with my home network setup--which hasn't changed since before I started having these issues, anyway.
So I did a complete uninstall of Java on my home system, and voila! Gmail works, doesn't take a whole lot of time to load (though it's still sluggish compared to my work computer). Hotmail is still buggy, but hey--it's hotmail.
Unfortunately, when I then installed OpenOffice, Java was re-installed (and I'm not sure how essential having a standalone java install is for OpenOffice, so I'm holding off on any uninstall) and now I'm back to hit-and-miss gmail.
Long story short, there is something in java (and I've tried version 21, 22, and 23) that is messing up Firefox when it comes to gmail, google accounts, and hotmail. Chrome is not affected by this in gmail or google accounts, but has issues in hotmail. IE8 isn't affected in google or hotmail.
I hate IE8, and I'm not sold on Chrome. Don't drive me away, Firefox.
Prior to my OS wipe & reinstall, other sites that use java--primarily for file uploading, like flickr & photo finishing businesses--were not working with Firefox 3.6.13 or Firefox 4 beta.
Again, clearing cache, clearing cookies, creating a new profile, running in safe mode, uninstalling any individual and/or all add-ons and extensions... none of these was the answer to this problem. Even a fresh OS install didn't quite fix it. Java seems to be implicated in the problem, and I'll be posting this issue over at Oracle's forums, too.
Other computers I have on my home network are affected by this issue, as well, but not all of them, and not to the same degree.

I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

The account password was not specified. Error after setting up a second Crawl Database and Crawler on different server.

We have a three server farm. (SPWebTest, SPAppTest, SPDBTest)
We have added an additional database server (SPDBRMTest) and an additional application server (SPAPPRMTest).
Today I created a new Crawl Database on SPDBRMTest and a new Crawler on SPAPPRMTest.
I create a distribution rule to all crawling activity for 1 web application to the new crawl database on SPDBRMTest.
This web application was part of the original crawl and had no errors or issues. We are trying to scale our Search to improve performance but when a full crawl is executed against this content source I get the following crawl error:
"The account password was not specified. Specify the password."
I have tried re-entering the "Default Content Access Account" but the issue continues.

Hi Brian,
when you add the crawl rules, do the account that is provided have the permission to read the content at the web application?

FileVault asking for old account password when upgraded to Mountain Lion

This is not good.
I recently updgraded to Mountain Lion.
After the upgrade process, my account log in no longer was accepted by FileVault. (FileVault Legacy)
The system is stating that:
" Your user accont password is different fomr your FileVault Password
This can occur if your user account password was changed recently. To update your FileVault password and continue loggin gin, enter your old user account password"
Yet, the last time I changed my password was perhaps over 1 year ago, certainly not recently, and defenitely after many OS upgrades?
How can this happen??
Now I can not access any files (Am I expected to remember a password from 1year+ ago?) ... Major Fail.
Anyone having the same issue or a tip to get out of this crazy loop?

Repair your permissions, go to applications then utilities, then disk utility. On the left hand side click on mac HD, then click repair disk permissions. Restart your computer and test again once permissions repair is complete.

Upgraded to Leopard now password issue

OK I upgraded to Leopard on my G5 and cant log in with my password . I have read this forum and tried some of the related password issues when upgrading to Leopard . I can only log on when I use the root password I created , I think that the main issue with this is in the keychain . How do I disable the whole log in password so That when I turn the computer on it just boots up with out a password as it did before I did the upgrade .
Thanks Mike...

You can use the Leopard upgrade disc to reset the passwords. Follow the instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
To start up in a user account rather than with a login, go to System Preferences -> Accounts. You should be able to change the pull-down menu next to "Automatic Login" to be one of the users or the administrator. This will require you to unlock the little lock and enter your password--which you may need to reset as noted above. Good luck!

Email password issues

Why am i having email password issues? This is the email from [email protected] "Your account (email) could not be authenticated. If you have recently changed your email password, please enter the most current password in settings to continue receiving emails. You can enter the password 100 times a day and still will not receive emails.
Anyone have an answer?

Delete and re-add the account. I just had the same thing happen, and that fixed it. I think it was some error on Verizon's end.

How do I get my gmail working on my iPad again after resetting the account password?

Receive message for Exchange Account password?

Receive "password Incorrect" message "Exchange" account?

Try this to get the iPad to function again.
Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
After the iPad boots up - try this for the password issue.
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.
