Boot problem cannot access to login/passwords session

the imac is opening well, doing is music, displaying the turning wheel......and then nothing. it goes with the rainbow spiral for ever. any tricks to help me out? thanks.

Hello!
I have the same kind of problerm : my new iMac (late 2013, 27", i7) doesn't seem to boot, with the wheel spinning forever!...
Actually, it does stop spinning, and the Mac boots, after ......................... 8 minutes and 30 seconds!!!
After that, it seems to run perfectly! The RAM is well recognized and the computer works fine. But if I reboot, it' starting over
Notice that when I reboot from the login page, it works perfectly : boot within a few seconds!
It seems that it began after I added 32 GB of Crucial RAM, but it doesn't disappear after I remove that RAM!
I tried all the "classic" resets (SMC, PRAM...) but it didn't fix anything.
Apple changed my Mac for a brand new one, but I have exactly the same problem with the new one...
Can you tell us more about your config? Is it the same as mine?
I don't know what to do, since the Apple hotline offers no solution.

Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send..

Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send Code 501..
Need help with T-bird.. My OS is Win XP-64..Have been using Mozilla for about 10 years with little or no problems.. This happened when I upgraded to 3.17.. Spent hours on T-Bird diagnostics web site.. Called Comcast & talked to a net tech.. he ran some tests on his end & had me log into my Comcast e-mail account & all worked well,, so he concluded the problem was in T-Bird.. He had me change my port to 587 & disable connection security & authentication to none & I was able to send mail.. That was all he could do.. Comcast was working.. the problem is in T-Bird.. Can any one help with this problem.. I don't want to send mail with my password transmitted insecurely..
Thanks

It was not intended to be "snide". You said two separate things that at face value would be out of the ordinary.
I considered if it might be a typo for 31.7. Since 31.5 is the current formal release, I would have to thank you for volunteering to test a pre-release beta version. If it was truly 3.1.7 then it would appear that you have chosen, or have become stuck with a somewhat ancient version. In either case it's harder to reach out to you with any meaningful comments or advice. However I do watch various other sites and newsgroups and I don't see a clamour of distressed users, so it seems fair to suppose that this feature isn't actually broken in 31.7.
And you said XP 64. XP is obsolete and no longer supported and if there is a 64-bit version, then again you have set yourself apart from the mainstream.
I had a look at the comcast site and found some puzzling recommendations. Some users come here asking how to set up a secured connection in Thunderbird when it isn't offered by the server. Comcast are different, in that they mention the ports 143 and 587, and also 993 and 465. So far so good, in that security is actually on offer, but they also suggest that you enable SSL, regardless of which port is being used. It would be unusual and unconventional to offer TLS or SSL on ports 143 and 587. STARTTLS would be more credible on these ports.
Have you tried IMAP on 993 and SMTP on 465? SMTP on 587 with SSL, or TLS, is not impossible, but is improbable.

Cannot access mail after password change

iPhone 3G
My main e-mail account is BTinternet.com (joined with Yahoo). Recently they updated their mail system, I had to create a new account and change my password. Then my e-mail (accessed on my Mac computer) did not work for a while. When it came on again, I was made to change my password again. I did so. Now I can send and receive mail on my computer again, both directly from the BT/Yahoo mail page and from amail client on my computer.
I then very carefully changed the server settings on my iPhone and changed the password there (for incoming and outgoing mail) to the latest version. But now I cannot send or receive mail on the iPhone. I have checked and rechecked all settings, but all I can get is a message that my username and/or password are wrong. But they are not wrong. I have repeatedly re-entered the right version. What can I do?
Thank you for any help anyone can offer.

AAN2, you're a genius. Only a genius would think of something so simple. Thank you very much — and especially for being so astonishingly quick off the mark.

Major Problem - Cannot access Mac

Due to my own stupidity I had reason to reinstall my OS X 10.3.4 onto my G4. I installed the first disk no problems but when the second one was finished it asked for my password.
I entered it but it would not work, I tried different ways (i.e. caps on etc.) and no joy. I know it is the right password, even the hint confirmed that.
I've no idea why it won't work but I can not access my mac now, is there a way around this or worse case scenario do I have to reset mac and will I loose everything? If yes how do I do this?
Thanks
DC

See if this helps.

Cannot access keychain. Passwords are all correct, "security code" sent to old cellphone number. Impossible to contact apple support.

I've been trying to access my iCloud's keychain for weeks now. Updating Yosemite somehow made my 13'' Macbook pro "log off" from the keychain and when I try to reconnect to the keychain, I am asked my iCloud password and then my security code, which I both enter successfully.
Then I am unexplainably asked to enter a "security code" sent to an old cellphone number of mine that is now deactivated. I click on "I don't have access to this number" and I am redirected to Apple's confusing silly-willy contact support website and find out that, since I am in China, there is NO POSSIBLE WAY for me to contact support.
Bottom line is, even though I have FULL CREDENTIALS to access the entirety of my iCloud's features(my passwords are all correct!!), I am stuck trying to access my keychain because of an unreasonable unsolicited and unwanted "security" measure, combined with a NON-EXISTING costumer support for China.
Apple is such a huge waste of time, I own an iPhone, a Macbook pro and a magic mouse, but one thing I'm sure of is, I will never ever buy anything else from this company again, because it just PRETENDS to sell the "perfect costumer experience".

Hi 2 stroke,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues setting up or using iCloud Keychain, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

When trying to reset my login / password, text in red says not connected to internet please verify connection, when the macbook air IS connected to wifi.

cannot reset forgotten login password.

You don't need to be connected to the Internet to reset the password.
Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
In the window that opens, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is active.
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 the Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as the login password), there's no way to recover it.

Hi David Camps-Campins1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you cannot login to a user profile on the computer. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, therefore i can no longer access my emails using mail. I can access my email through my Gmail account no problem, so how do i fix this as i cannot remember my IMAP password.

I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, as a result i cannot access my google email using the Mac Mail. I cannot remember what the password was for IMAP, so can anyone help to resolve this. i can access my mail by going directly to Google Mail.
Regards JKG1135

The password for use in the Mail application would be the same password you use when accessing Gmail by using an internet browser. The exception to that would be if you have 2-step verification enabled for Gmail. If that is the case then you would need to use an "application-specific password." If you are using 2-step, you can revoke the previous application-specific password and get a new one as described in https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en

TS3899 Suddenly on both my iPhone and iPad I cannot access my AOL mail. They tell me my user name and password are incorrect. Yet, I have no problem with other devices in accessing. I have deleted and reinstalled my account information etc. Any ideas?

Suddenly on both my iPhone and iPad I cannot access my AOL mail. It tells me my user name or password are incorrect. Yet I have no trouble accessing from other devices. This occurred randomly in the middle of the night. I'd done nothing different or unusual. I've tried re-starting both devices, tried deleting and re-installing my account information. Any suggestions?

Hmm... looks like this is an issue for that email provider for some reason.
A user in a bt.com forums recommends turning off Push Emails settings.

Coudln't hurt to try it and see if the issue resolves itself.

Cannot access login page and no wireless signal

Hello, I am using a WRT54G ver 2 router, everything was working fine until a couple of days, when just out of the blue my wifi stopped working, the wireless light does not lit on the router, I tried resetting, disconnecting the router and modem, and upgrading the firmware(which I cannot because I cannot access the setup page) and nothing seems to work, hopefully someone here can help me,
Thank you
JB

After a firmware upgrade you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt, or your firewall is still turned on. In this case, turn off the firewall, and if you still cannot complete step 10, then use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. (If you have already reloaded the firmware with tftp.exe, and you still cannot complete step 10, then the router is dead.) After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.
