  • I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up the iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for that before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. Is there a way to reset the keychain password?

    I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for the keychain password before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. I'm normally asked for the password to my machine when upgrading software, signing on, etc. but this is different apparently. I tried the same password and it didn't work either. I read a couple of posts and they all want to take me through Applications/Utilities but that requires knowing your password in order to change it. I don't know it. Don't remember ever setting up a keychain password. Does anyone know how to change the keychain password if you don't know the keychain password???

    Most of the time your Keychain password is the same as your login password. If you configured your computer to log you in automatically, you may not have used your login password in so long you forgot it.
    There is no way to retrieve the "login" Keychain password, but you can reset the Keychain from the Preferences menu: select it in the Keychain Access menu and select "Reset My Default Keychain". This will create a new, empty Keychain but the old one will be saved should you ever remember its password.
    The result of this is that you will have to supply passwords for everything that requires it, since without your Keychain they will no longer automatically fill themselves. However, once you supply them and store them in your new Keychain, they will be remembered.

  • Trying to buy, download a song and keeps asking for password over and over, even after entering correctly.  Why?, trying to buy, download a song and keeps asking for password over and over, even after entering correctly.  Why?

    Hi, Trex8.
    There are a couple things that you can try to resolve this issue.  First, I would recommend processing any updates needed to the computer and iTunes.  You can check for updates in iTunes by selecting the help menu and check for updates.  If iTunes is on the current version, see the article below. 
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

    Make sure to test the results after each troubleshooting step processed.

  • I use IMAC upstairs connected to the house wifi downstairs where the networked printer is. I have 'found' the network printer on my IMAC settings but when i send to print I am getting a pop-up box which has 'apple' as user name and is asking for password.

    I use IMAC upstairs connected to the house wifi downstairs where the networked printer is. I have 'found' the network printer on my IMAC settings but when i send to print I am getting a pop-up box which has 'apple' as user name and is asking for password. I have tried my own IMAC password but to no avail. The printer also shows a pop-up box stating 'awaiting authentication.
    Any help appreciated

    You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
    You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
    As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
    An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

  • Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress)

    Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress). Never had this problems before and I have reseted it once or twice since changing emailadress on the Apple-ID.

    Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
    If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer.  You back up to iCloud over wifi.  All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup.  You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
    Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud.

  • What are 'keychains'??? All of a sudden my computer is asking for passwords to keychains and it is blocking me from my shared iCloud accounts.

    Since I upgraded to the latest iOS7 upgrade, my computer has all of a sudden introduced 'keychains' and is asking for a keychain password. It has totally messed up my icloud and I can no longer see my shared calendars or notes. I can't even log into icloud. How do I delete these keychains and keychain popups from my computer? It's making my Mac act like a PC and I don't like it! LOL

  • Iphone won't download from itunes (purchases or updates) and keeps asking for password

  • My Contacts app for macbook pro will not connect with my yahoo and keeps asking for password.

    My Contacts app for macbook pro will not connect with my yahoo account and repeatedly asks for yahoo password, any soliutions to this?

    This is due to a change in Yahoo's security settings. You need to go into your Yahoo account settings and create a special App Password, then use that password in Contacts to access your account. Same goes for Calendar.

  • Got a new iPad and set up to sync with iCloud and now asking for password which I never set. How do I get on device if I don't know what it thinks password is?

    Help.  I just got a new iPad 2 and set up sync with iCloud and no password.  Now asking for a password and I never set one up.  What password does it want: iTunes, iPhone (no real password there either).  Tried as many passwords as I could think with the iPad locking me out since I don't have the password!  Would like to use the iPad but can't get on to try it.
    Thanks.
    Desparate

    So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
    Yes...  sorry.
    In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free  >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless  >  Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

  • Email won't receive and keeps asking for password

    Ever since a combination of circumstances last week, my email is mostly, randomly not sending or receiving on my MBP.  We changed to AT&T Uverse; and I ran the most recent update of Safari.  Now, despite having the correct password entered, my email program asks for my passwork over and over again and won't deliver my mail, although, for no particular reason, it does decide to work occasionally.  Is there some sort of known software compatibility issue?  That's what it feels like.  My thumbnails are also not always loading - again very random - I get the blue square with the question mark rather than the graphic.  TIming of this beginning is the same.

    Hi,
    Can you confirm that you have an Officejet 8500a or Officejet 8500? On the 8500a model, you can set the networks proxy address and port setting from the front panel of the printer (setup>Webservices setup>proxy). If you are unsure what your proxy settings are you'll need to contact your network admin. If your network uses a proxy users name and password for all devices, you need to enter this information along with the proxy address and port in the printers embedded web server. Type the products IP address into an internet brownser window (printer must be connected to the same network as PC). Select the network tab, and than look for the proxy settings option. Enter in the information and click apply. Once the networks proxy information has been correctly inputed into the embedded web server, try printing again. If unsuccessfully, you might try reinstalling the printer software after uninstalling it. Hope this helps!

  • I backup up my iphone but didnt include password, and now want to restore new handset from backup and keep asking for password but has no idea what it is, pls help

    Hi all, i backup up iphone in itunes but not realised it was password protected and now want to restore new handset from backup but keep asking me for password but no idea what it was,, pls help...

    You are someone had to put a check in the box to encrypt your iPhone backup.
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password you can continue to do backups and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device.

    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums. The BlackBerry Desktop Manager requires the password you set up on the device in order to connect to it. http://bbry.lv/bjwDRS
