Backup asks for password but never set one

All of a sudden, iPhone back up asks for password even though I never set one. When I click on "cancel" on the sign-on screen then it starts back up anyway. How can I avoid the unecessary delay in the back up process?

Hi anna1983,
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

  • Not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari

    not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari

    okay well they got me to take out some .plist files to see if that would help it didn't. I'm not sure what ones that they deleted for my self maybe someone here would be abel to tell you what ones to take out but didn't work the one that came close to working was this going into keychain and deleting the account(s) then reading them again.
    if you are to do this please back up first with Time Machine. You can do this with a usb drive.
    Okay so go back to where you had internet accounts and make sure mail is shut. click the - on the account your having problems with then quit system preferences.
    Okay so then press cmd and space bar at the same time then type 'keychain access' into the search then click on 'keychain access'
    once it is open go to the top of the window and put your email address that you are having problems with.
    once you have put in your full email, have a look at what comes up i deleted things in the kind colome with 'internet password' and anything with under name that had smtp.gmail.com or imap.gmail.com so it would look like this, map.gmail.com - internet password.
    right click and delete them. make sure not to touch any other files that dont say them things on them.
    Once you have done this quit keychain access and then restart the computer, once the computer is restarted go back to system preferences and internet accounts and re-add the account.
    Hope this helps. if something is not clear just ask.

  • HT6114 my hot mail account will not let me access it keeps asking for password but won't authorise it?

    my hotmail account will not open. keeps asking for password but will not accept the password when i enter it. its the correct passwrd?

    Hello Duncan,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Mail on your Mac.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
    If you entered the correct password in the password dialog in Mail, but continue to be asked for your password, try these solutions.
    Open Keychain Access, then locate and delete the mail account password item.
    Open Disk Utility, select the volume (for your hard disk or disks) in the list, click First Aid, then Verify Disk. After you’ve verified (and repaired, if necessary) the disk, try sending yourself a message.

  • Prompting for Bluetooth Password - I never set one???

    My blackberry 8830 WE is constantly prompting me for a numeric or alphanumeric password to connect to my Acura's Hands Free Device. The problem is, I never set one. How I can I either reset the password or disable the feature?
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for the reply on the default code. I determined that the issue was with the Acura and not the phone. I went in and deleted all paired phones. I still had issues getting through the voice prompts because it kept kicking me out. However, I finally was able to get through the prompts, establish a passcode, and reestablish my bluetooth connection. Not a fun process, but I should be good to go.

  • 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.

  • Mail keeps asking for password and icloud setting do not load in system preferences

    Hi,
    I have a mac mini server with mavericks, i have 2 iMacs as clients running mavericks too, when i use iMac (A) mail app and icloud work fine, them i take iMac (B) and mail app start asking for password , it just won't take the password, icloud do not load and cannot use anything else on system prferences because it locks system preferences, i need to force quit system prefrences , so I return to iMac (A) and i get same behaivor as iMac (B), i would appreciate your help for finding a solution for this.
    All network users get the same behaivor, local users do not get this behaivor.
    Thanks
    Hector

    Hector;
    I have the same problem. The solution is to log into your client, open Keychain, run Keychain First Aid under file menu. If it fails to find your keychain, note the path, mount the disk that it is looking for, and rerun.
    In short, you need to have the disk that your keychain is sitting on mounted. While your user account is mounted, Maveriks cannot match the reference path. Looking like a bug.
    Example:
    my folder sits on a second disk on server. It is properly setup in the mavericks server.
    On the server, it is locally referred to as: /Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user. I can log in to mail on the server when I log in with my user name.
    In the workgroup manager, the same location is referred to as:
    afp://my_server.local/Users/my_user (or smb)
    /Network/Servers/my_server.local/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user
    So this is the network path. So the client should be looking for that. But instead, it looks for the local disk, which is not mounted as such. In other words, it looks for:
    /Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user/Library/Keychains
    instead of
    /Network/Servers/my_server.local/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user/Library/Keychains
    To eliminate this problem, you mount the volume on the client, so it can find. I will keep the editorial to myself, but this is not quality software.

  • HT201269 Itunes Encrypted Backup Asking for Password That Doesn't Exist - Can't Set Up New Iphone

    My iphone 4s has a broken wifi transmitter so it has never been backed up to iCloud.  I backed it up on Itunes before setting up my new 5s.  When I selected Restore from Itunes on the 5s, I got an "enter password" message on iTunes and saw that the backup of the 4s had been encrypted, even though encryption had not been checked.  I looked in Keychain for the password but it wasn't there.  Now I have no way to transfer the data from my old phone to my new one.  I suspect this is a bug with Mavericks as I just upgraded. I had never used backup encryption before.  Any ideas?

    If you're still having this problem, try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
    Note: this will only work if your current ID was created by changing the details of your old ID.  It won't work if your current ID is an entirely new ID.

  • Thunderbird asks for password but won't accept the right one for email account

    I was not asked for my serial after updating.
    But beeing friendly:
    There is one chance, that you will be asked for your serial number.
    When you got a new PPC and backuped your entire harddrive from
    another PPC (the old one) then you will be asked for your serial
    number, because your "Ethernet MAC Address" changed!

  • Mail keeps asking for password but won't go online

    I am having multiple problems with passwords on my MB Pro -- FYI running 10.9.   Just fixed a problem with being unable to get into my admin account because I didn't know the password; got that fixed then had problems with keychains - still having.  Keeps asking if I want to go back to default keychain (don't get the keychain thing as it is).  Now both emails are offline and Mail keeps asking me to enter passwords but then it won't go online.  could use some advice or links to fixes

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
