ATV3 Password Keeps Being Rejected

Tonight for some reason my ATV3 keeps asking me to enter my password. I enter it correctly then I get unable to login "unknown error". My iTunes on my Mac is logged in fine, just the ATV3 that keeps failing. I have 5.2.1. The box is connected via ethernet which is working as I am able to watch Netflix on the ATV3 fine.

Retried again this AM after two email responses from Apple Support that were nothing to do with the question I asked, sighhh.
Anyway, signed-in first attempt this morning so something, somewhere changed.

    e-mail password keeps getting rejected, asks to reente for IMAP server

    Gustavo, launch Keychain Access. Go to "login" keychain and then "Passwords". Double-click the entry for this email account and place a check mark beside "Show Password". You will be asked for your login password but you should be able to see what the password for this email account was.
    Let us know if this helps. Cheers!

  • My apple password keeps being reset, but not by me

    My i tunes password keeps being reset, but not by me,  please help

    If you have never shared your password with anyone then your account was hacked. NOT your iPhone, your Apple ID. If you use the same password for other accounts any of them could have been hacked, and your password obtained from that other account. If your password was simple it could have been hacked by brute force. If it is a word found in any dictionary especially. Or if there is anything personally identifiable about it (nickname, pets name, address, name of someone you know).
    The really important thing is to get it resolved QUICKLY with Apple Security, and to change all passwords that might have been stored in an iCloud backup of your phone.

  • TS3988 Passwords still being rejected

    I know this has been dragging on for a long time as a topic but I have now had to reset my password twice in the last couple of weeks. No problems for a year (when I first converted to Mac) up until recently. This is happening concurrently on my Mac, iPad and iPhone. Very irritating! I have not messed around with anything; one moment it is working fine and then, for no apparent reason, my password gets rejected.
    From viewing other similar threads, it would appear that nobody really knows why this is happening. The best suggestions seem to relate to it being an Apple server problem.

    Tried that... Also tried sending to the original email, since I had just changed it to something recognizable a short time before. Currently failing with the email authorization on or off. Here's the latest message:
    Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.7.1 Command rejected (state 18).
    Thanks for helping... :-)

  • My MSN Mail password is being rejected even though I am using the correct password.

    I keep entering the CORRECT password for my MSN account which I have tied to the Mail program and it keeps rejecting.  i even verified that it was working properly by going into my MSN account through Safari, signing in and retrieving (without a glitch) my e-mail...???

  • Password is being rejected

    Ok I've just bought a lovely new Macbook pro, this afternoon. I'm trying toy download some software. The new Mac is rejecting my password. Can I look up what the password is on my old mac or my i-phone.
    In fact to log in here I had to put in my password which has been accepted so how come it won't accept it when I try and down load some software (Adobe flash player)
    Mark

    The password your Mac is asking for is your Admin password. The one you setup when first setting up your computer. Has nothing to do with your Apple ID. If you didn't setup an Admin password(you should), leave the password field blank & just hit enter.

  • Every few weeks my password keeps getting rejected

    Hey all,
    I have a couple of gmail accounts and when using the Mail app, every few weeks my password comes back as rejected. I can log onto the accounts fine through a web browser so I know the passwords are still good.
    Here's the weird thing. After googling, I found some threads on other mac-related boards where people were having similar issues and found a solution: I need to turn off this thing called Captcha (sp?) and then everything works fine again.
    Does anybody know what this is and why it would need to be turned off every few weeks?

    For G-Mail, this is the link I use:

  • I am on vacation and I am unable to get internet connection using my Powerbook G4 (with built-in Airport). It is only showing a WPA Personal for the wireless security option and the resport password is being rejected. How can I get connected?

    I need some help trying to get connected from a remote location with my Powerbook. I am a graphic designer on vacation and need to keep in touch with my clients. Need help ASAP!

    Looks like you are working with a vintage product and the operating system is a little outdated, which makes it harder to troubleshoot. It's possible that it doesn't support WPA (depending on the Airport card built-in). Otherwise, if you can connect via ethernet, check for software updates. It even might be as simple as restarting the computer.

  • Why does my notarized form keep being rejected?

    I have sent in the notarized form for the developer program twice now only to have it rejected. The first time it was signed by a retail manager and the second by a medical practitioner, a pharmacist to be more specific.
    Can anybody from apple help, I have paid the £60 for the license but I have not yet received the activation code. This is beginning to frustrate me now.

    Only Apple knows,

  • I have never had to enter a password to access mail. However, recently, I keep being asked for password on my ****** address. Only on my macbook. (which, btw, has a version number the drop down doesn't offer as a choice. I had to putt 9.4)

    Only on my macbook. (which, btw, has a version number your drop down doesn't offer as a choice. I had to putt 9.4)
    When I look up the account the "password" is a long string of gobbledygook. Something I would never do.
    But when I attempt to use that pw I still can't get in.
    I have no trouble accessing that email account on my mac mini. Just on the macbook.

    Maiko,
    I'm confess I'm still trying to get a handle on your problem. You do a fantastic job of describing it ... but I'm just trying to picture it accurately in my head.
    I think, were I in your shoes, I'd begin by looking at what the debug page has to say for the specific destination in which you're interested in fixing. In other words, I'm not clear on where, exactly, this destination points ...
    Destination illinois.edu.1945806043
    Is that your site, or the division within your site that you want to fix? "Normally", you do not need to specify a site handle to get to your site within your transfer CGI ... if you say "uillinois.edu", it's enough to transfer your users to iTunes U ... but every site still has a handle, and you could, if you wanted to, actually specify it in your transfer CGI. For example, this:
    Destination uic.edu.1139051993
    is for my entire site ... it's my site handle. Whereas this:
    Destination uic.edu.1991288441
    is for a division within my site ... but it's impossible to tell the difference between "site" and "division" from just the handle (I mean, if I didn't say "this is a site" and "this is a division", there'd be no way for you to know). So when I look at your creds and permissions on your debug page, I can't quite tell if they give you download access for your site, or for the specific division you want to fix. If you could open the debug page with your division as destination (or confirm that that's what we're looking at), it'd rule out some things.

  • I keep being asked for my pop.mail password for my user address. Can you help please.

    I keep being asked for my pop.mail password and I do not know what is meant. Can you help. I cannot receive or send messages on thunderbird. You say you have sent a reset message to me but it has not come through. I am searching messages on my ipad. I am on the verge of abandoning Thunderbird and continuing to use my ipad and yahoo account. Thank you for your help in advance.

    Thunderbird has nothing to do with administering your email password and is not going to send you anything. I am not even sure where you requested that something be sent to you unless it is for the password to this forum which has nothing to do with your email.
    Your email provider would have a link to reset your password on their email help page.
    I would go to your providers web mail page and see if your username and password work thee. if they do then you might have incorrect server settings causing the password error.
