All of a sudden, when I log in, my iMac is asking for my iCloud password. Every time!
This started earlier this week. Ive never had a problem before. Was there an update that broke some thing. I can't seem to get it to remember it.
I didn't think to look in the keychain. I don't really use it for keeping passwords and the like. I use a separate app for that. I found an expired certificate of some kind, deleted it, logged out of iCloud in the system preferences and let it do all of the deleting it wanted to. Logged back in and bingo, no message. However, for some reason it enabled the Guest user access on my computer. No big deal, just turned it back off.
Thanks for the clue.

When responding to emails, box pops up asking for my Icloud password, each time.
When responding to emails on my IPhone, a box pops up asking me to enter my ICloud Password. I enter it in, but box pops up even after correct password is entered.

Every time since the latest update when I access the Internet I am asked for my apple password, what's up?
Hi Gizzymoeaiden,
If you are having an issue with your iPhone asking for your iCloud password each time you try to send mail, it may be necessary to reset the password of the Apple ID you are using for iCloud. See this article for how -

My macbook pro isn't automatically connecting to wifi when I open it. I have to manually enter the password every time although I always click "remember password". PLease advise
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. -
iMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?
Is sounds like it might for some reason booting into Safe Mode, which does prompt for a password.
Try a PRAM reset:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If that doesn't help, restart holding down the option key which should take you to the startup manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrows on the keyboard if the kb is Bluetooth), tap 'enter'. Does it boot normally now? -
hi, i bought an iphone 5 through ebay, when i am trying to activate, its asking for a icloud user name and password, but i am unable to contact the owner, but its not black listed. is there any solution? please help me.
Hello there, Ark.
It sounds like the iPhone has Activation Lock still activated. The following Knowledge Base article provides the methods available for removing the previous owner's account:

My iMac running 10.7.5 has suddenly developed the habit of asking for my keychain password every 10 minutes or so. iTunes, mail and airport are the usual requesters. It's making me nuts! And no, I have not recently changed my password to start this new issue.
Hello dowaco
Try running Keychain First Aid on your keychain or just rese your Keychain to create another keychain to see if that resolves the issue of the repeated prompts for the password.

I have just purchased an iphone and I am trying to get facebook on my phone. When I get the app to upload it is asking for my apple password. I put that into the phone and it gives me a message "your apple id has been disabled." Now when I log into apple i have no problem with my apple id or the password. How can I get my phone to read I have a good account with apple?
you need to contact iTunes store support for that, it's possible that they will refer you to an AppleCare Account Security Team
1. Go to expresslane.apple.com
2. select 'itunes' and then 'itunes store' on the right
3. select a topic and a subject
4. click 'continue' and then 'email'
5. fill out the form and explain your situation
6. they will respond within 24 hours usually
Good luck -
All of a sudden when I download photos into iMac they are duplicated?
As far as I know I did not change any settings but if I did, where do I go to stop the duplicating?
What can you do? Explain what you are seeing and what you have for starters
What version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.6.8 as you state correct for your OS? Where are you seeing the duplicates? Are you importing the same photos multiple times? What is the source of theses photos?

How can I resolve this issue so that I can clearly see my statement. I asked the question on Yahoo Answers and the concensus was switch to Google Chrome? Surely that's not the answer?
Hello,
Please try restarting Firefox in safe mode and see if the problem goes out.
If it works fine in safe mode then one of your Extension may be causing the problem.

I got a £25 iTunes gift card for my birthday and I have tried to redeem it but it is not working. I don't know if it's not activated but there is no message saying that the card is not inactive and I have checked all the letters and numbers and I have entered them correctly. When I enter the code it asks me to enter my iTunes account password I do that and then it just brings up the box to enter the password again over and over again... Hope someone can help! Thanks!

IMac keeps asking for user account password when changing Airport
Whenever I change anything in Airport (switching networks mainly) my iMac constantly prompts me to submit my user account password. All other macs don't do that. Any clues?
Suggest that if you haven't already taken the next steps....open System Preferences > Network > AirPort and delete the current wireless connection by highlighting the name of the network, then clicking the - (minus) button at the bottom of the connection list. Click OK and then Apply.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access and locate the name of the wireless network, then highlight and delete that entry.
Restart your Mac to see if that will allow you to start fresh.
If still no luck, I'm afraid it's getting down to a re-installation of the operating system on the Mac.
