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 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.
<Edited by Host>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. -
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. -

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.

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. -

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?

Keep being asked for password: Mail Help unhelpful
Last week I had to trash my keychains/passwords on the recommendation of Skype help. It solved my immediate problem but now I get asked for a password every time I launch Mail.
I've tried Mail help and got the following advice:
"To change the keychain lock settings:
Open Keychain Access, located in Applications/Utilities (or click the link provided on this page).
Select your login keychain, choose Edit > "Change Settings for Keychain 'login'."
To reduce the number of requests for your keychain password, deselect the option for the number of minutes of inactivity before the keychain is locked, or increase the number of minutes. You can also deselect "Lock when sleeping" option."
Trouble is, I see nothing that resembles a "login keychain".
Is the above the advice I need. If yes, what/where is my login keychain; if no, what now?Thanks for the feedback. This means the login keychain itself was "there", just inaccessible for some reason. The actual keychains are stored in one of the following locations, depending on their applicability:
/System/Library/Keychains/
/Library/Keychains/
~/Library/Keychains/
login, in particular, being different for each user, is stored in ~/Library/Keychains/.
On my system, the System keychain is stored in /Library/Keychains/. Do you see a System keychain in more than one of the aforementioned locations? Maybe that's the reason you see more than one instance of it in Keychain Access.
I'm wondering now if the problem was just that there was something wrong with the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.keychainaccess.plist preferences file. Guess we'll never know what happened here.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there. -
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. -
Wireless-B asking for password? Can't complete install, network insecure.
my new linksys wireless-b router is continually asking for a password in setup. while i have internet connectivity i have no security or completion of setup. i also downloaded the easylink/linksys file: lela-3.11.9139.94.exe, which seems to install but then i cannot find any linksys/cisco or easylink files on my system. i have already had an instance of some spyware and some issues with the network being open. can anyone help recommend a remedy?
just to follow up, the lela package seemed to install properly in safe mode however i could not find the program or evidence of an install anywhere. i tried again after my normal bootup and i get this message: 'service linksys updater failed to start. verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.' if i go into services i see the linksys updater on 'automatic'. if i try to start the service i get this error: 'could not start the linksys updater service on local computer. error 1067 : the process terminated unexpectedly.' so something seems to be happening with linksys in general and the install of their software.

I had completed a back up from my old 3G phone onto itunes to then restore the info on my new 4S, however as i attempted to restore the previous back up onto the new phone it asked for a passWORD (not passcode), but it doesn't accept the password i use with Apple ID to log on, so when would i have set this password? When i first ever set up my phone on itunes? wouldn't it be the same as my Apple ID password?
Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?
