Backup 3.1 V356 .Mac member name or password is not set

Hello,
I recently changed my .Mac Password and since I have done so, backup fails with .Mac member name or password is not set when I try and backup my personal data to my iDisk.
I read on the Backup help to delete all associations with .Mac in the Keychain, which I did (I had this error before deleting the Keychain error: Invalid .Mac user name or password
Unable to complete backup at this time.) I believe I deleted all of them and now how the Member name or password is not set. My way of trying to fix this was by going to the finder and clicking on the iDisk. I did this, it prompted me for the Username and Password, I re-opened backup and still no joy.
Can anybody else think of anything?
Do I need to delete backup and re-install it or something?

Things to try
System Preferences in the Internet section, under the Account table, re-enter your .mac email address and password
On your hard drive go to Library/Keychain and see if there are any values for .mac

Can't publish -- ".mac member name is not correct"

Hi everyone,
I am no stranger to iCal publishing, I have been using it for many years for business and personal use.
I came across a confounding issue today: my personal calender wouldn't refresh to my .mac account. I thought it might just be an issue of my internet connection at the moment, but a few hours later still the same problem. I unpublished the calendar and attempted to republish, but an error came up :
"Calendar could not be published. .Mac member name is not correct. Publishing to .Mac requires a properly configured .Mac account."
Okay, so I followed the button to my System Prefs, checked to make sure I was logged in. All that was fine, resync'ed just in case. I retyped my .mac username and password to make sure, but the error still comes up. I went online and checked...everything is working, mail, homepage, etc. but iCal refuses to publish. Restarted, repaired permissions, quit and restarted iCal...still nothing.
I can safely say I am stumped by this. Anyone have an idea?
Thanks!

Well, it seems that the system has fixed itself...the calendar published without incident today. I guess it wasn't on my end!

HT204053 I am having trouble setting up icloud on MAC. In system preference it is listed as mobile me, it asks for member name and password. It also has a learn more button under "try mobileme for free". I am not getting anywhere

I am having trouble setting up icloud on MAC. In system preference it is listed as mobile me, it asks for member name and password. It also has a learn more button under "try mobileme for free". I am not getting anywhere

It's evident that you are using Snow Leopard or earlier (or very early Lion) since you have the now obsolete MobileMe preference pane.
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

I receive an error stating user name and password are not valid on my ipad and iphone 3Gs when attempting to load email from my icloud account. When I log onto icloud from my Mac, it wont load the email either.

One day, my ipad and iphone pick up my emails (.mac account) from icloud just fine. the next day, I recieved error messages that say my user name and password are not accurate. I removed the icloud program on both devices and added it back on to both devices and get the same message. I logged into icloud from my Mac and while I can log in, it times out when I select email and wont load the email there either. Any Suggestons?

I am having the same problem; it started about 24-36 hours ago.
I know my ID/PW combo are correct because I can access all other aspects of iCloud except mail.
iPhone -- returns incorrect ID / Password
iPad -- Same
Mail.app on Mac -- returns incorrect password error
icloud.com -- allows me to log in and use all functions accept mail. When I try to use mail it stays on a white screen for about 60 seconds then returns a dialogue box that indicates a server error.
I contacted Apple and they placed my iCloud account into something called "Troubleshooting" mode. They generated a new strong password and sent it on to "Engineering."
I suspect there are a small number ofo users like you who are affected with the same problem I am. Too small a number for it to be reported as an outtage. I suggest you call Apple and open a case to have your mail investigaged.
Hope this helps...

Mobile me member name or password maybe invalid

i have mobile member name or password maybe invalid. But It is valid coz i am using it with my icloud access. PLease help

It shouldn't be. try this:
go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
login with a bogus username and password like "Ying" and "Yang". This clears the caches.
login with your correct username and password.
launch iWeb and try again.

Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct

Everyday I use Command + K to bring up the "Connect to Server" dialog, select the server from "Favorite Servers", click the Connect button, receive a prompt to provide my credentials to access the network share, then the share mounts and I access the files on it.
Starting yesterday I no longer get the prompt asking me to provide the domain, username and password, it just tries to connect to the server then reports the following error:
"Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct."
I've restarted my Mac but still does the same thing. I'm able to connect to other server shares just fine, prompts me for the username and password, but this one particular server just will not prompt me for the username and password.
I've done the following to try and resolve it but without any success in doing so:
I've restarted the server
I ran Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility
Ran Keychain Access --> First Aid --> Repair
Tried to find an entry in Keychain to remove, none listed
Able to connect to share within Fusion running XP
Anything I missing?

Hi Troy-
It surely is starting to look like it's some kind of security setting on the Win-Server...something that's different from the other server you just patched.
If you've looked at local and domain policies that do not 'require' digital signing, then I'm a a loss. (I don't have the exact settings, but it's been discussed here ad nauseum over the past two years)
Has something to do with disabling digital signing of communications "always", and enabling "when possible"... other than that, I've forgotten the exact policies...Look in security policies, and you'll probably see what I'm trying to describe.
(Glad I got my daily brain-hiccup out of the way early today!)

The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 - earlier systems don't show the iCloud preference pane. If you want to use iCloud you will have to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion (assuming your computer meets their requirements) but even so you won't be able to publish web pages to iCloud because it does not provide web hosting. This page examines that situation in more detail:

I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

This is from my personal experience:
It almost happens every time I tried to connect with Sync from my Android phone, the window asking me to enter my account name and password always shows up. And if I enter the information, it'll say I have the wrong password, etc. My workaround is to click the "cancel" button. But it does not cancel immediately. The window will stay on for a while (usually a few minutes), then it'll disappear and start connecting to Sync. And it'll connect and sync successfully.
You can try this workaround but you have to be patient to wait for the window to disappear.
I don't know what is the cause of this, but it has happened ever since FF4 for Mobile came out. I have searched around and couldn't find any solutions.

Administrator name and password does not work in other accounts

My hard drive died so I had one installed. I reinstalled contents from TimeMachine. When my son is in his account and he is prompted for the Administrator's name and password I type in the required info but the shaking text box indicates that my admin name and password are wrong. I tried to unlock the System Preferences and same thing happens. When I am in my account, I have no problems. How to I make it so I can change, install and fix things when I am in another person's account?

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.

TG797n v3 log on to 10.0.0.138 User name and Password for wireless set-up

I have a TG797n v3 on Windows 7 to a Dell XPS via ethernet cable. Has been working fine, but. . . just aquired an iPad Mini for family use.When trying to configure the iPad Mini, I can't get past the log in requirements of the "found" wireless network. My laptops read it OK but the iPad keeps asking for a Password for the Telstra***** wireless network. I have tried every conceivable password I have ever used without success.I tried resetting the TG797, (by switching off the power for 1 minute, and pressing the rest button for 20 seconds, and leaving the power on and pressing the re-set button),and now it is asking for a User name AND a Password to enable log in to 10.0.0.138. I can't even get to the set-up page anymore!! I have re-installed the software from the CD that came with the T-gateway, but at no stage does it ask for a password. It asks for the SSID and the Wireless Key, but nothing else! and connection to the internet is established.(Otherwise I couldn't type this, could I?) So, where, and how, do I either retrieve the Password hidden in the TG or reset the password the iPad is looking for???I have configured the TG797 by disconnecting and re-connecting (no passwords asked for) I have searched all the Help topics and they ALL say " Just enter your User name and Password" . . . yeah, great if you can remember it or even resetit!! Please, someone, there must be a simple (or complex) answer as a solution. Thanks in advance, Ian King. (Telstra help, . . . anyone?)

Hi dumbojojo,
Im sorry to hear that you are having difficulties,
The password you need is located on the underside of you modem unless you have already changed it yourself. It will often be listed as a WAP PIN.
If this doesnt help please see here Change wifi password or here WiFi Troubleshooting
Finally, you are still having issues, please contact support on 133933 or Live chat here http://tel.st/hsc3

Directory Utility keeps telling me the name and password do not match

Installed Leopard Server on my Mini a few days ago, and I enabled Open Directory server.
Added the server in my home network with directory utility on my laptop, and it works perfect both when I'm on the local network, and when I'm elsewhere.
Tried doing the same at my Leopard iMac at work today. Finds the server just fine, but when trying to configure my machine locally I get an error message during Authentication that simply says "The name and password you entered for the user account on the server do not match".
Now. I KNOW the username and password is correct. And I have the same username and password on this machine (both the long name, and the short one).
So what am I doing wrong here?

Christian,
I've experienced similar issue recently. The most likely solution will be to delete the user and recreate it using same uid and username. I'm going to look for other solutions prior to that.

I was experimenting setting up parental controls on my macbook pro and selected to set up my current account with controls. Apparently my admin name and password are not what i thought, because now I cannot unlock them.

I thought my admin user name and password were the same I sign on with, apparently not because now I am locked out of my own computer. I took two hours to reload mavericks from ap store, because i was told it would give me the option of changing the password. It did not. Sooooo, that's where I am. Thanks for any help.
