When I try to go to the photo gallery to choose a picture to send to my email address by using my Iphone it can't send or receive messages. Yahoo password is being asked which I have forgotten. How can I correct this?

With my my I phone as I try to choose a picture from the photo gallery to send it via email using my Iphone, I can't seem to send nor receive messages anymore. It is asking for my yahoo password. What password will that be as I have forgotten it. I know what my personal password on my yahoo address when I go to a regular laptop or desktop but with Iphone I am unable to to retrieve this password because it does not give you an option to change a password. What shall I do to correct this problem?

It's the same password. Go to settings - mail - yahoo - enter the password for your incoming and outgoing mail server.

My ipod touch keeps asking me for my yahoo password anyone know why?

Because Yahoo is messed up. I suspect you have Yahoo mail in your Mail app. Go to settings>Mail>Yahoo and reenter your Yahoo password. You may have to reset the password.

Popup keeps asking for my Yahoo password, looks sketchy

Hi, I'm new to these forums, so please be patient. I keep getting a popup box that asks me for my Yahoo password. It doesn't look anything like the Apple Mail reminders (the ones that make my Mail icon bounce up and down), so I haven't filled it in. I have also changed my Yahoo password just in case that account was hacked, but the popup keeps showing up. All of the answers I've seen in the forums and elsewhere on line are fairly confusing. This seems like some sort of virus, but no one seems to believe that Macs can get viruses.
Here's a screen shot:

I did go for a "Genius Bar" appointment, and while there were a couple of other issues that they managed to 'fix', they didn't really want to deal with this mail situation. So, I have spent HOURS researching this because, I am ashamed to say, I have become completely dependent onmy email and my internet, so I needed to fix this.
While I don't have a permanent fix, here's what I know:
Apple tells me it's an ATT issue;
ATT tells me it's an Apple issue;
Yahoo tells me it's an ATT and Apple issue;
you get the picture...
I believe there is a software incompatibility between the most recent Apple upgrade in Safari and the combination ATT/Yahoo mail system, because it all began with the most recent Apple upgrade (APPLE ARE YOU LISTENING???)
Meanwhile, Yahoo's help page went down a few days ago, and when it came back up, acknowleged a problem, said its engineers are working on it, and provided a link to temporarily help us. If I log in to the link each time I begin a new sit-down with my Macbook Pro (after being away for a few hours) and then go into my mail and make sure it's online, I am able to access my mail normally. So, I now automatically log into this link and mail seems to work (they must have some clue about all this or they wouldn't be able to provide this link). SO here's the page in Yahoo help with the magic link. I hope this helps you guys!

Yahoo password and Keychain

Hi guys,
I recently realised that I forgot the yahoo password and the secret question as well.
I already tried to recover my account by using a few methods - without success.
Anyway, I've found a strange code in Keychain but I don't know how to use it.
Does any one know how can I get my real password out of that hieroglyph?
Regards,
Adrian

Thanks Carolyn,
but there is another problem that I can't manage to solve. As you well know, you can not see the real user's password, because it looks like the password is encrypted:
AAjmgU9VnrBQL3_OzhCjzxaYahfSXG7bQZ4vyXQeKqSYXsnwKjtE8Q--
Is there any way to decrypt it?
By the way - based on your experience, do you know if there is place where the yahoo password could be stored on mac?
Best,
Adrian

My MacBook Air keeps asking me for my yahoo password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password/account.

my MacBook Air keeps asking me for my YAHOO password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password.

I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.
It doesn't do it continuously, it'll just pop up randomly ... if the phone is just sitting there it may ask for my apple id and regardless of whether I press cancel or enter my password nothing happens .. it may be another 2mins, 5mins, 15mins but eventually it'll just randomly pop up and ask me again. It does accept my password though because I tried entering an incorrect password to see what happens and it gives me the error saying it's incorrect, so when I enter the correct one in the box disappears and it accepts it as I say, but only for so long before it pops up again.

I am locked out of my account because my password includes "[" and my computer is set to spanish. In spanish that key doesn't work. How do I gejt back into my computer?

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar.
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 opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
If you forget the password and FileVault is on

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed and you don't know what it is now?

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed by the former husband and you don't know what it is now? And you set up your own new ID and account but can NOT access the updates, from the App store for the many apps that you already have, because they require that you sign in with that former now inaccessible ID and account and password? Call it a problem of modern times and changing relationships, if you want to be charitable.

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

I changed my iPhone lately but i can't restore my last backup since it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I don't know where to put the password to make it happen... Any suggestions?

Hey guys,
I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?

Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally.

"itunes could not restore the iphone because the password was incorrect" I know for a fact im using the correct password. and it has previously worked. is anyone else having this issue.

Hi, I also get the message "itunes could not restore the iphone because the password was incorrect" though I am never prompted to enter a password anywhere! Nor was the backup password encrypted to begin with! Really strange, any pointers will be greatly appriciated!

HT1695 I am unable to connect to my wi fi because the password is 2 characters to short

I am unable to turn on wi fi at home because the password for the router is not long enough.

You should call Qtel technical support and ask for help.
Where did you get the password that you are trying? What does it look like? (Length, type of characters)
Do you know what type of security is being used? WEP, WPA, WPA2

Ical will not recognise my yahoo password

My I Cal keeps reminding me to log into my yahoo account to sync my contacts, but when I put in my yahoo password it tells me its wrong (although its not)
and keeps on bouncing up and down to remind me. How do I stop it and/or sync Ical to my yahoo.

Hello,
Which version of the PowerBook do you own?
If it's the titanium model then it has an Airport card, which would not be compatible with wireless security setting of WAP2, so check your security setting on your wireless router.
If your security settings are WPA or WEP, then try resetting your PowerBook PMU and try again.
To rest the PMU follow this link.

Good Luck.

HT1277 I have my yahoo mail as my mail account on my mac mini. While I am reading my emails, I keep having to give my yahoo password and "sign in" every few minutes. What is going on?

I have my yahoo mail as my mail account on my mac mini. While I am reading my emails, I keep having to give my yahoo password and "sign in" every few minutes. What is going on?

Network errors can cause the password dialog.
The correct answer to a Mail.app password dialog is almost always cancel, too.

Calendar App keeps asking for my Yahoo password

If I start up the Calendar App in Mavericks, I am constantly asked for my Yahoo Account password.
I enter the password, nothing. So Calendar asks me again, what is the Yahoo Password?
I have deleted the iCloud account from my iMac.
Reset up a new iCloud Account.
Changed the Yahoo Account password.
Trashed Yahoo Mail accounts in settings on iMac and iPad.
Then readded Yahoo Account in Mail settings w new password.
I made a calendar date on my iPad, the iMac immediately showed it.
So incidents are synced.
So why can't Calendar accept my yahoo password? Or do I even need Calendar to open, if all date incidents are synced?

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
