Apple password rejected

I had to replace my 1st Generation Apple TV with a used Generation 1, because my receiver has only component inputs.
When I try to enter my password, I get an error message saying my password is not correct (error -25) The password is correct, but is not accepted.
The Apple TV is up to date on software.
Any suggestions, out there?
Thanks,
Dave

I have been having a similar problem on our two Macs (iMac & MacBook) for a couple of weeks. I have at&t Yahoo! DSL and the password rejection problem really seemed to start with regularity when at&t changed their setting to require use of SSL on the specified ports. I have tried lots of things including repairing my Keychain, deleting and re-building my Mail account, and repairing permissions but I may have just stumbled onto a fix.
I think there may be a conflict between Mail's password authentication with the SSL and Keychain. I deleted all Keychains that had anything to do with at&t (POP, SMTP etc) and although it hasn't been very long, the tests I have done indicate the non-remembered password problem may be fixed. In the past when I tried deleting the keychains, I would always choose to have Keychain remember the password if the box would pop up. I think this may have been perpetuating the issue if indeed it is a conflict with Keychain. Don't know if it's a long term fix, but looks promising so far. If anyone else tries this and it works please let us know.
Thanks,

I use free Yahoo mail webMail access because folders I created in webmail access doesn't get set up in Apple Mail. While I was searching for post about password and keychain issues, I stumbled on several threads that complain about Mail folder issues, so I'm holding off on Apple Mail.
On the password and keychain issue that your post is all about. I've been using login keychain to save and automatical fill my login screens for a year or so successfully, with Safari and Chrome. Automatic form fill also works for Facebook login. Unfortunately, about 4 to 6 months ago, automatic password form fill stopped working with Yahoo webmail, while still worked for GMail (Safari and Chrome). I tried deleting the password entry for my two Yahoo email accounts to start fresh, but neither Safari not Chrome will even ask me if I want to save the password. I was so frustrated that I eventually installed the keypassX 0.43 (password manager) that is quite primitive sompare to OS X's keychain (when it works). Probably no surprise to you yet.
The surprise, to me at least, is that, for whatever reason, password auto form-fill from keychain started working again for Yahoo webmail login on Safari about 5-7 days ago. Still doesn't work on Chrome!
Two tips I can share, at least with webmail access:
1. Password is save only for one of my yahoo mail accounts. When I login in with my other yahoo account, I get no prompt to save the password, and form fill doesn't work when I try to log in a second time with my other Yahoo mail account.
2. On inspection of my login keychain, I see a webform password item saved for my Yahoo account that works with keychain. The name of the password is: login.yahoo.com(MyAccountName1#). When I open the password item and look in the Access Control tab, I see Safari and Chome are listed as allowed to access this password item..
I also an "Internet password" item with a name of just login.yahoo.com. When I open the the password item, it looks just like the password item created for MyAccountName#1, but the MyAccountName#2 is listed in the Account field. Inside the Access Control tab, no apps are listed in access permission. I added Safari and Chrome to the lists of allowed app, saved the password item.
Now when I bring up the Yahoo login page(by bookmark) on Safari, form fill fills in MyAccountname#1 for name and the proper password and I can login in. When I change the name to MyAccountName#2, the correct password is retrieved and I can log in! Alas, it still doesn't work on Chrome.
BTW, I changed the password item type from "Internet password" to "Web Form password" and saw no difference! I also edited the name to be "login.yahoo.com (MyAccountName#2)" to look like the web form password item that works, but it has no effect either.
From my experimentation, here's my observation:
1. A Web Form password item is created for the first account name(MyAccountName#1) for login.yahoo.com and typed as Web Form password. When I log in using MyAccountName#2, an Internet Password is created, but no applications are listed as allowed to access the password item, even when the password item was created after just logged in and logged out to yahoo with the account name and password for MyAccountName#2.
2. Manually adding Safari as an app that is allowed to use the password item works. Doesn't work with Chrome!
The version of Safari I'm using is Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). My installed version of Chrome is Version 21.0.1180.79 beta.

Password rejected on apple mail constantly

I've called apple and at&t daily for hours to see if there is a solution. my password is constantly rejected. I put it back in and it's rejected a few minutes later again. Mail won't work until I put it in again. I use an airport extreme N connection to my dsl. Mail works on at&t's web site without a problem. I've reset my password. At&T says its a problem with apple mail, apple says its a at&t problem. My neighbor has exactly the same problem and gets the same circle. I've come to believe that maybe it is a amail problem. Anyone else have the same problem or a fix or should I just wait for a lepard fix, I hope. It even freezes my iphone wireless retrieval during the time I have to retype my password in the box.

Mac OS 10.2.8. Connection Password rejected

Hi Chaps,
Can you help me? I've got a BT home hub 2.0, which connects fine to PC laptops, and my iPhone (all wirelessly), and to a desktop fine via an ethernet cable, but not wirelessly to my Apple Mac. The Mac is quite old - but a lovely shade of blue. It's a G3 Powermac running OS10.2.8 - which is compatible according to the information BT give on their website - with an Airport Extreme wireless PCI card installed.
Here's what happens: I can see the network I want, along with BT Fon and BT OPenzone in the task bar - so it's receiving all right. Buuuut when I try to enter the Key (the same one I'm using for the laptops and iPhone - so I know it's correct) the message reads "The password you entered is not Correct for the selected Airport Network".
So far I've tried:
Inserting a $ before the password as recommended on other websites
Every combination of password including changing numeric parts to HEX
Changing TCP/IP settings to Ethernet, from Airport
Any and every combination of everything possible!
Another forum suggests trying to change security to WEP. I've had no success - I cant see an option on my Mac to do that.
Clues? Suggestions? Cuddly toy to the winner.
Thanks.

Moriarty, if you have further problems you might want to go to a fixed channel instead of the auto option - auto works fine in this house for Wife's PC laptop, PSP, iPhone but not iMac - password rejected, timed out is all I ever get until I fix the channel after a hard reset etc...
Hope this helps.

Mail 2.0.7 - Earthlink Passwords Rejected

Hello,
I would appreciate any help anyone can give with this problem. My Mail app worked fine last night with my Earthlink accounts; today, I receive repeated "password rejected" messages. I checked with an Earthlink online rep who had me re-enter my account settings, so those should be correct, but it didn't fix the problem. My Entourage app gives the same "password rejected" message.
The Earthlink rep suggested that I remove and then add back the accounts in Mail, but since there's also suddenly a problem with Entourage, that doesn't seem right to me. In the past, this has happened intermittently but the problem seems to be more persistent this time.
Does anyone have any other suggestions I can try? Thanks in advance for your help!

Until April 2012 there were enough threads on password rejection to knit a large sweater but then the moderator closed the forum saying all was well. It isn't. I have been unable to access my bt mail since March except by logging on to webmail after which macmail behaves correctly for about 1 hour. Wasted £30 on a premium BT help service on this matter. Very nice guy but perplexed! This issue is not dead. I had the same issue with my iphone which was resolved in an Apple store. Is there now a fix for this utterly irritating situation? It does BT no credit whatsoever. Any chance of reclaiming my lost hours and £30? I think I know the answer to that one.

E-mail password rejection on Mac

I am adding my experience to the long list, just so that BT knows the problem is widespread and continuing. Yesterday and today, so far, I suddenly lost my BT Yahoo mail on my Mac with the now common password rejected message. I have no time to fix it so will use webmail meantime, but it just hammers another nail in the BT coffin.

E-mail password rejection AGAIN

This wasaproblem a few months ago
http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/E-mail-password-rejection/td-p/234061/highlight/true/pag...
All happening again today.
I DESPAIR of BTOpenworld

Am also having exactly the same irritating problem as davrh (the original poster).
My configuration is Intel iMac, OS X 10.5.8 & Apple Mail 3.6.
Worked fine for about 3 years, then started rejecting passwords as below:-
The POP server “mail.btinternet.com” rejected the password for user “[email protected]”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel.
Problem started about five months ago. I am using 3 BTinternet mail addresses within 2 Apple user accounts on the same iMac - all the BT e-mail addresses have the same problem.
Interestingly, a gmail account operated within the Mail client does not have the problem.
I have increased the time period for the Apple mail client to "check for new mail", as an attempt reduce the number of pop-ups and relieve the irritation factor.
As passwords are set within in the Mail client account information, this should not be an invalid password issue.
I suspect it may be a timing issue on the BT Mail server side.
I had hoped the issue would be resolved with the new update of BT Yahoo - which is advertised as being 2 x faster.
But it hasn't!
Really need a fix for this.

"Password rejected" revisited - again

Greetings. I have been getting the "password rejected" alert when trying to receive from a web-based POP3 email account "macmail.com" for a couple of weeks. (OS X 10.3.9; Apple Mail 1.3.1. SBC Yahoo! DSL is my ISP.) I have also tried several other email clients (CE QuickMail. GNUMail. Entourage). They all also reject my password. I can access my mail at www.macmail.com, or through www.mail2web.com.
I did a quick "telnet" session in Terminal this morning. Here are the results (with personal info x'ed out):
Last login: Fri Jan 6 20:41:11 on console
Welcome to Darwin!

error inserting into lastauth table
+OK
Can anyone tell me what is happening?
The real kicker to all of this is that GyazMail WILL!!! retrieve my email from "macmail.com" without even breathing hard, and with an identical setup as all of the other email clients. Also, my "sbcglobal" POP accounts work fine. I sent an email to the folks at macmail.com, but have received no response.

Baron,
GyazMail gave up the ghost this morning. I emailed Goichi Hirakawa to see if he could make sense of the problem, He suggested holding down "Shift-Option" while I clicked the Send-Receive button, which would generate a Console log to compare with the telnet session log. As soon as I did that, I got the same "ERR Authorization failed" message that every other email client I've tried produces; and I cannot find a Console log either. The condition persists even after a complete uninstall-reinstall. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to use the web-based MacMail interface to retrieve my MacMail. (Have you seen this site? - http://www.mail2web.com/ )
I think MacMail is maintained by "robots". I've gotten no response from them at all. I think I too may let those addresses lapse. Fortunately, I don't have too many important contacts at Macmail.

What is a quick alternative to launching an enterprise DPS app if Apple Store rejects the App? We are under a major deadline and can't wait for Apple. We want to host the app elsewhere. How do we host our DPS app on our client's website?

What is a quick alternative to launching an enterprise DPS app if Apple Store rejects the App? We are under a major deadline and can't wait for Apple to approve. We want to host the app elsewhere. How do we host our DPS app on our client's website? Thanks.

Unless I misunderstand the question, you can't do what you're asking to do. Apple doesn't allow you to bypass their store and host public apps on a website. The exception is an enterprise app, which requires an Enterprise account with both Apple and Adobe. This type of enterprise app can be distributed only within the company. If that's what you want to do, you can learn more here:
Digital Publishing Suite Help | Creating viewer apps for private distribution
Distributing enterprise iOS viewer applications with Digital Publishing Suite | Adobe Developer Connection
Another option is to add the development app to several devices and use those for your demo.

I changed my apple password now i cloud sign in box keeps popping up on my I pad 2 and will not take my password

I changed my apple password from my i phone so when I tried to get on on my Ipad 2, the sign into icloud keeps popping up! It will not go away after entering the password, it doesnt say it's wrong it just keeps popping up! I have had no prolems with my iphone or my mac! I tried updating and that didnt help! Someone please help!!

The reason it won't authenticate your password is because it isn't connected to wifi. Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, the release and wait for it to restart. As soon as it restarts, quickly go to Settings>Wi-Fi and connect it before it starts prompting you. Once it's connected to wifi, enter your password when prompted and it should take it this time.

My ipad just won't let me enter my apple password on FaceTime or iMessage, it works fine on my iPhone, I have tried numerous things but nothing works, can anybody help please, will a bug fix sort this out when they finally make one

My ipad just won't let me sign in with my apple password on FaceTime or iMessage since updating to ios7 it says check my network connection, even though my iPhone works fine with the same password, can anybody help please, I have tried numerous things but nothing works. Will I have to wait for a bug fix to sort this? I hear they are working on one a the minute, I hate ios7

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Okay so I associate the e-mail address as the apple ID and that seems to be a wrong assumption. I did go to my Apple ID and changes the e-mail address and the password but for the same and only Apple account I have ...
That is good. In that case, your one and only account has not changed, just the login credentials you use for it. All your previous purchases will remain associated with that account, and the new login.
In essence, an AppleID is an email, but it has two parts. One is the login email address and password everyone traditionally thinks of as an AppleID. But that in turn is linked to an account with Apple. As long as you use the manage Apple ID portal to just change the email address and/or password for your exisiting AppleID, then the internal account tracks along with those changes as well.
However, on your iOS devices, you will need to log out and then log back in with the new login credentials:
settings -> iTunes & App Stores - tap your AppleID, and choose log out. Then log back in with the new email address and new password.

Before my PC had iTunes, I loaded Aps from store onto my daughter's PC with iPad connected. I indicated my email address and Apple password. Now I want to upgrade to next iPad but Aps in my iPad are not on my PC iTunes. Do I have to buy again to keep them

I'm a new user of an iPad. Before my PC had iTunes (it does now), I loaded Aps from from the iStore using my daughter's PC with my iPad cable-connected. I indicated my email address and Apple password--not hers and paid for these Aps--receipts arrived via my email. Now I want to upgrade to 5.1 but the Aps now loaded on my iPad do not show up on my PC iTunes library. When I click 'Upgrade' I get a warning message that says all Aps currently on the iPad will be obliterated in the process which of course I don't want to have happen because they're not showing up on my PC which presumably means my PC is not aware of what's on my iPad. Do I have to buy these same Aps again to keep them if I'm going to upgrade to 5.1, and how do I get my iTunes on my PC to back up the Aps currently loaded onto my iPad?

You should be able to copy the apps (and any other iTunes purchases) over to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. And as long as apps remain available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to purchase them, you should be able to re-download them in the future : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If you are already on iOS 5+ on your iPad then you should be able to update the iPad directly on the iPad via Settings > General > Software Update .
