Account Password Problems...HELP PLEASE

I am having sever difficulty setting up a "new" account on my friends G4iBook.
The MAIL APPLICATION keeps asking me to put in the "password" and I do it repeatedly but it never works.
I went into the "preferences" and the account setup to revise the password and then try it but it still wouldn't work. Am I missing something or is it a "port issue"? My friend has 1 account (which is an AOL account) that she wants to forward to her mail program.
Finally I would type in the password that I revised (from the preferences) and then it would tell me that server wasn't accurate since it said it couldn't find port 25?
I checked my settings to make sure her's was just like mine - except for the "outgoing mail server" since hers is earthlink....
What am I missing?? I know this isn't a difficult thing to deduce but clearly I am frustrated...
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED........Thanks!
FRIENDS CPU is G4 iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

Is your friend trying to create/access an AOL email account with Mail or is she trying to create/access an Earthlink account? If she has 1 email account that is an AOL account, what does she have an Earthlink SMTP server available with Mail?"
587 should be used for the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) port for AOL's authenticated SMTP server.
I also have an Earthlink account (an old dial-up account that I rarely use anymore and probably should cancel) and I also use 587 for Earthlink's authenticated SMTP server.

  • Another password problem, help please

    Hi.  I have a WRT54GS which until yesterday had been working fine.  I have it wired to my desktop computer and had wireless set up for a laptop.  I tried to hook a wii up to the router via wireless, and was unsucessful.  After giving up on that I tried to get online with the laptop when it told me that my password was incorrect.  I've gone into the settings page through internet explorer and re-entered my password several times and save changes.  When i try to connect with the laptop it still tells me that my wireless network security key is wrong.  Router is setup with WPA personal and tkip and settings are correct for that on the laptop.  I have no idea what is going on and really need to be able to use the laptop.  Thanks in advance.
    edit:
    When i am on the router's setup page, when i enter my password and then save it, the page reloads and shows more characters (black dots) than i entered.  is that just a security feature?

    I seemed to have fixed the problem.  I ran the easy setup and downloaded setup program to usb flash drive.  Once i ran the program on the laptop, it connected right to the internet with no problems.  I don't know what happened but it works now.

    Written by: Disabled: iPad connect to iTunes, no one computer will be synced down, I know the password! Help please!

    If it's showing the disabled screen then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a computer that it hasn't been synced to :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • I moved from MobileMe to iCloud and all my contacts are lost! The only contacts I now have are from my Exchange account. Any help please. I tried "Import from SIM" but as all my contacts were on MobileMe, they're all gone!!

    The only contacts I now have are from my Exchange account. Any help please. I tried "Import from SIM" but as all my contacts were on MobileMe, they're all gone!!

    that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
    set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
    Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore.

  • ICloud problems help please!

    I have an iPhone 6 and during the setup I must have did something wrong and now I have my old iCloud account on it that I no longer remember the password, security questions, and no longer have the email address to that account.  I think I was hacked and my password and security questions changed. I want to log out of iCloud and start using my current iCloud account.  I know these are security measures, but how can I get logged out??? My iPhone is having problems since the latest update and now I can't make a call or text.  I can't call apple support without a working number  HELP Please.

    Hello shelbyrecords,
    Oh no! That sounds really frustrating. Unfortunately, if iCloud Find my iPhone Activation Lock is enabled on the device we’ll need to gain access to your previous Apple ID account to disable it. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you may need a personalized support experience to recover your previous Apple ID:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487
    Make sure that you’re entering the correct Apple ID. In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. If these steps didn't help you change your password, contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Lost password   Trying to reset admin. password. Help, please!

    I'm trying to reset the administer password on my ibook g4 because for the life of me I can't remember my password! I've followed the advice posted below and come to a screen that is black with foreign languages on the bottom of the screen. That as far as it will go. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thank you to whoever can help me.
    Resetting the original administrator account password
    Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account (of several) needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, the original administrator user may reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above.
    Start up from a Mac OS X Install CD (one whose version is closest the the version of Mac OS X installed). You should first disable Open Firmware password protection, if it is enabled. Hold the C key as the computer starts.
    Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger). Tip: If you don't see this menu or menu choice, you're probably not started from the CD yet.
    Select your Mac OS X hard disk volume.
    Set the user name of your original administrator account.
    Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually a reference to the root user. Do not confuse it with a normal administrator account.
    Enter a new password.
    Click Save.

    You're Welcome Bobbi!
    "I am using our Mac OS X install Disc 1 from our Mac desktop computer. ... Do you think that matters?"
    Absolutely! That is causing the problem!
    That is a Model Specific disc, and probably not version Panther 10.3.x, and will not work.
    You can call Apple Customer Service 1-800-767-2775, and with the Serial Number of the iBook G4, you can order a replacement set, of the original system discs.
    If you have the Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, you should also be able to use that.

  • VIRUS PROBLEMS, HELP PLEASE???

    I continue to have messages popping up saying my computer is infected. It wants me to cleanup and I have to register with Mac Shield 2.6.  Pronograhic websites keep popping up.  Anyone having this problem?  Did not have this problem yesterday, but it's here today!  There is also a Red Sheild on the top of the toolbar where it shows the time, battery life, etc.  Right clicking on the sheild drops down Scan Now, Cleanup, Control Center, Scan, System Info, Settings, About, and Register.  A pron site just popped up again!  Need help Please!!

    The Mac Shield malware can come through Firefox too if you allow it to and you click on it!
    Your exactly right, it is possible that if you visit a site and need the scripts to run for something that the malware that uses Javascript is on that site, then your going to be presented with it.
    The thing is with the Firefox + NoScript combination defeats alot of the web side trickery the malware authors are using to get the malware to appear in the first place.
    Also this "MacDefender" isn't the only malware making the rounds. There are some serious Flash vulnerabilities being hosted on hostile/adult websites that are running scripts for no apparent reason other than to try to infect your machine.
    By running all scripts all the time, your computer is in a state as if you tried running across a busy highway blindfolded.
    As a lifelong "MacHead" I can understand Apple loyalty, but if Apple isn't cutting the mustard on their browser security, rather place their users security at serious risk for the sake of convenience, then I have to think about using and recommending to others something else that is more secure.
    As a example, I surf thousands of web pages a day, some on really nasty sites, yet I haven't seen this "MacDefender" appear on my computer. Even when I purposely visited links that people have submitted that had the malware. (I maintain a couple of bootable clones of my boot drive just in case)

  • Soundtrack problems - help please

    Help please. I tried doing a send to multi-track project from FCP with the base layer video option and kept getting the 'error sending selection to Soundtrack Pro' message. I did a search and the suggestion is that I have no disk space but I have over 600GB!
    Then I tried a send with the full video and the file saved okay. However when I try to open the .stmp file, Soundtrack Pro starts and then freezes. I've tried opening in various ways.
    Help please, I just cannot figure this out! What am I doing wrong?

    Not sure how much help this is, but since you're having problems with the layout, did you try deleting the layout file? MacintoshHD/users/username/Library/Application Support/Soundtrack Pro/Layouts

  • SQL INSERT problem - help please

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem with INSERT statement.
    There is a "ShowFinal.jsp" page, which is a list of candidates who selected from the second
    interview. The user picked some candidates from the list and conduct the 3rd interview. After
    he check suitable candidates(who are selected from the 3rd interview) from the list , enter
    basic salary for every selected candidate, enter date of interview and finally submit the form.
    These data should be save into these tables.
    FinalSelect(nicNo,date)
    EmpSalary(nicNo,basicSal)
    In this "ShowFinal.jsp" page, it validates the following conditions using JavaScript.
    1) If the user submit the form without checking at least one checkbox, then the system should be
    display an alert message ("Please select at least one candidate").
    2) If the user submit the form without entering the basic salary of that candidate which was
    checked, then the system should be display an alert message ("Please enter basic salary").
    These are working well. But my problem is how to wrote the "AddNewFinal.jsp" page to save these

    Thanks.

    Hi Casabianca ,
    It is clearly that your problem is not on the database end, more like a servlet/jsp issue.
    I will not comment on the javascript portion, but rather the 2 jsps.
    a simple way to trace what's go wrong is to check the final result (the html code) of the first jsp (showFinal.jsp), and compare against what is expected by the 2nd jsp (AddNewFinal.jsp). Most browser do provide "view source" on the page visited.
    the following code
    <input type="checkbox" name="<%= "ChkNicno" + iCounter %>" value="<%=s.getNicno() %>">
    <input type="text" name="<%= "basicSal" + iCounter %>"
    would likely to be "translated" to html code something as follow:
    <input type="checkbox" name=""ChkNicno0" value="nicNo>">
    <input type="text" name="basicSal0">
    the original code in "AddNewFinal.jsp" using
    request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
    which looking for a none exist http request parameter (sent as "ChkNicno0",etc but look for "ChkNicno"), which has explained before.
    the second attempt to use String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno" + iCounter); give Cannot resolove symbol :iCounter. because iCounter never defined in the 2nd jsp!
    Most of the error message do give clue to cause of error... : )
    not too sure on your intension, assume you wish to update only those selected (checked) row to db.
    some suggestions:
    1) <input type="text" name="ChkNicno" size="10"> </td>...
    <input type="text" name="basicSal" size="10"> instead.
    then use javascript to based on checked element index (refer to javascript spec for more details), for those index not checked, clear off the correspond index "basicSal" field value.
    e.g. ChkNicno[1] is not checked, empty basicSal[1] value before submission.
    This will give us only selected rows values.
    2) retain the code
    String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
    String[] bs = request.getParameterValues("basicSal");at 2nd jsp, as now the http request will pass parameters using "ChkNicno" and "basicSal".
    3) some change to the code for optimization
    for(int i=0; i < value.length; i++){
         String temp = value;     
         for(int x=0; x < bs.length; x++){
              String basic = bs[x];
              pstmt2 = connection.prepareStatement(sql2);
              pstmt2.setString(1, temp);
              pstmt2.setString(2, basic);
              int RowCount1= pstmt2.executeUpdate();
         pstmt1 = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
         pstmt1.setString(1, temp);
         pstmt1.setString(2, interviewDate);
         int RowCount= pstmt1.executeUpdate();
    to
    pstmt1 = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
    pstmt2 = connection.prepareStatement(sql2);
    for(int i=0; i < value.length; i++){
         String temp = value;     
         for(int x=0; x < bs.length; x++){
              String basic = bs[x];
              pstmt2.setString(1, temp);
              pstmt2.setString(2, basic);
              int RowCount1= pstmt2.executeUpdate();
         pstmt1.setString(1, temp);
         pstmt1.setString(2, interviewDate);
         int RowCount= pstmt1.executeUpdate();
    preparestatement created once should be sufficient as we do not change the sql statement throughout the loop.
    there are better solutions out there, this just some ideas and suggestions.Do try out if you wish.
    Hope it helps. : )

  • Multiselect problem Help please!!

    Hi all,
    I am currently using Application Express 3.1.2.00.02 I have developed an online questionnaire with a multiselect list for one of the questions. The problem i am having is that i need each choice to be totaled up separately on the report generated.
    My table of answers looks like this:
    Column name e.g. (Question 9)
    Answer "Dog" "Cat" "Mouse" "Snake" (underneath column name Question 9 depending on what is selected).
    The reporting page would look like below:
    *(Column Question 9)* Count
    Dog 1
    Mouse 1
    Snake 1
    and for the question you could have another respondent who chooses similar of items on the multiselect, so their answer looks like this:
    Answer
    "Question 9" Dog
    "Question 9" Snake
    This would then start a new row on the reporting page like below which is not what i want:
    *(Column Question 9)* Count
    Dog 1
    Mouse 1
    Snake 1
    Dog: Snake 1
    But the report should look like this:
    *(Column Question 9)* Count
    Dog 2
    Mouse 1
    Snake 2
    The current SQLquery i am using is below:
    select "QUESTION 9",
    count(*) c
    from "P1 DQUESTIONNAIRE"
    group by "QUESTION 9"
    Thanks for your help and suggestions,

    How to make sure your forum post will never be answered:
    1) Make sure your subject line is completely meaningless (i.e. HELP PLEASE!) and describes no part of your actual problem
    2) State that you are having "a few problems" but make sure to offer no details whatsoever what those problems are or what the symptoms are.
    3) Post large volumes of code instead of distilling the problem down to a compact snippet
    4) For extra points, make the code hard to read by refusing to make use of the "code" tag.

  • K8N Neo2-fx Ram problem Help please

    I have three ram(2x512MB single sided , 1x1GB double sided). Is there any way I can put them all on the motherboard? When I place them all the computer is not starting and it`s making a "beep" every 2-3 seconds. If i connect the 1GB double sided on the Dimm1(green) and the one 512MB single sided on the Dimm3(green) it`s working properly. Is there any way I can use all my ram at the same time. I`m desperate.

    That's the rule mate which you need to gives all your component in details including your PSU and Bios revision so that others can help you! Like what BOSSKILLER say it won't works with 3 DIMMS unless you purhased another 1 GB of RAM then it can solve your problem with 4 DIMMS or else with 2*512MB RAM. Make sure that you've lowered your HT to <=800Mhz as default is 1000Mhz. GD luck.
