Can' access Icloud imap server

I am getting The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user .... but Apple says all services are online. What to do?

Same here. I thought someone hacked into my account, but it appears to be a bigger Icloud server issue. Well, it's like MobileMe all over again! Grrrrrrr.

Safari can access iCloud with 1 login, but not others on same MBP

Hi all,
On my login I can access iCloud, but when I try it on the kids login, it comes up with a message about not being able to connect to server. I can access any other website ok.
The only parental control is to bar explicit websites, otherwise they have free access, and I have also added the iCloud URL to allowed websites.
Would any of you kind souls be able to assist me with this problem?
Many Thanks
Ravvy

Hi,
There can be tons of reasons for why certificates don't behave. Please compare installed cert's for the two affected users using mmc

The iCloud IMAP server

I get this error message now on my mail!!
The iCloud IMAP server “p01-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “****”
But I can logg into iCloud on my Safari with the same password.
It was working forever and has only now just stopped!!
What is going on...
Apple..
This is almost as bad as windows used to be.
The OS is slow.
Loads of extra are rubbish.
and everything breaks...
WHhat is going on.
Sorry Bad day Rant over but seriously are the standards going down round here?

Sorry to hear you're having problems.
This is a user to user support community, so you are not really talking to Apple.
Have you tried contacting iCloud Support?

HT204053 I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized. Any suggestions?

I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized on the appleid website, so my password for my old apple id won't work.
Any suggestions?

If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name. (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library. If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account. To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

To use iCloud, you must first set it up with your Apple ID on a device with iOS 5 or a Mac with OS X Lion.

Icloud IMAP server connected to itunes password?

I just changed my itunes password and now I get a message on my computer about icloud: The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “(me)”. How do I solve this and are the two passwords connected somehow?

That depends on whether you are using the same ID for iTunes and for iCloud - some people have separate ones, some have the same, and it rather sounds as if you have the same. The iTunes Store window shows you login in the top right-hand corner - if this is your iCloud email address then you need to change the password in System Preferences>iCloud.

HT2623 I keep getting an error message when I enter my password for iCloud IMAP server

I keep getting an error message when I enter my password for iCloud IMAP server

A number of users who have chosen to set up iCloud mail manually in the Mail application seem to encounter problems with continually being asked to sign in. This may well be a result of incorrect settings such as not setting 'Apple Token' for authentication under the accounts advanced settings.
A more general approach to remedying such problems would be to turn off Mail in System Preferences/Settings > iCloud, checking the account has been removed from Mail (and deleting it if it hasn't), restarting and then enabling iCloud Mail again from System Preferences/Settings > iCloud. This will ensure the correct settings are used.

I'm about ready to migrate everything to google and gmail. Once again, the iCloud iMap server is rejecting my password and refusing to get my mail. This has happened dozens of times since iCloud went live. My password has NEVER been changed.

I'm about ready to migrate everything to google and gmail. Once again, the iCloud iMap server is rejecting my password and refusing to get my mail. This has happened dozens of times since iCloud went live. My password has NEVER been changed. The same password works flawlessly in iTunes store and Apple store. Somebody please give me a reason NOT to cut bait on iCloud.

iCloud Mail is down. Has been for a while. I would hope this will be resolved soon.
I agree with you. iCloud does not seem to have anywhere near a 99.9% uptime. :-)

When opening email on Iphone 5 keeps saying password is missing for icloud account? I have checked and triple checked all account details and I can access icloud on all other devices

New iphone 5: whenever I check my email, as it's checking the icloud account it keeps popping up "Password is Missing". I have checked al my account details and I am inputing everything right and can access icloud on other devices. I've rebooted my iphone and still no go - any suggestions?

You have to do the following to get your new Apple/iCloud ID signed onto your device:
1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old email address (do not verify it - this is temporary):
Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and Delete the iCloud account. Use your current Apple ID password when asked. Follow the prompts to delete the account
3.     Go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to your new email address (you may need to verify it again)
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign onto iCloud with your new Apple ID. Turn on the options you want sync'd with iCloud, give it a little time to push the info down to your device.

No access to IMAP server in Mail after installing Yosemite.

Installed Yosemite on my I-mac and now cannot access email on SMTP IMAP server. Keep getting error messages. Black triangles with an exclamation mark appear beside account name in the mailbox. Spent 2 hrs. on the phone with my Internet Service Provider and got it to work, but as soon as I was off the phone it reverted back to same problem. Is there a mail problem in Yosemite?

try this - worked for me. read in another thread...
For those of you having email password issues, I'd suggest:
1) Close your mail client (i.e. Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc).
2) Launch "Applications" > "Utilities" > "Keychain Access.app"
3) Select "login" from the sidebar top left area, then select "Passwords" in lower left area
4) Click into the Search box in the upper right and search for your ISPs server names. For example, type "aol" or "google" or "comcast", etc.
5) Look through the search results for password entries related to your SMTP (outgoing) or IMAP/POP (incoming) mail servers. Select them and delete them.
6) Open your email client and try to receive mail, and then to send mail. You should be prompted to enter your mail username and/or password.
Hopefully this might fix issues for those of you using mail clients that use Keychain for credential storage.

How can I develope a native mobile cross platform app that can access an SQL server.

I would do it in html5 as a web app but I also need to access an SQL server and upload data(text) pictures from the camera and
geolocation data etc.
I've developed many web based applications, but this is this first attempt to integrate native device functions AND interact with an SQL database.
So it would have to be able to use form data then add a photo and geolocation and send everything to the database.
A site with examples and/or tutorials would be nice.
To make things worse, I'd also have to be able to work offline and re-sync when networks connections allow.
If a native app would be too complex, then I was thinking I might be able to develope an app that gathers data then
passes the info on to a browser to connect with the database.
But as much as possible I don't want to have to swing back and forth between a browser and an app.
Pete

Here is a page a I bookmarked a while back to use jQUERY to access a php scripts sitting on a server that can then interact with the database in the usual way. This means that you will be able to use DW to create the usual HTML CSS and jQuery to make an interactive app.
I havn't yet tried this but a quick look over the script looks good. Make sure you use php that sanitizes input.

Can access a remote server from all locations except from my house

This is a very weird problem.
My home ISP is Xplornet. This is a rural "fixed wireless" set-up (antenna on the roof connected to the Xplornet modem). The Xplornet modem is connected to a Belkin router. The router connects wirelessly to my laptop.
The remote server (the office server) is connected to an Apple airport. The ISP is Bell, and we have a static IP.
Before we moved, I was with Rogers (cable Internet service). While with Rogers, I could connect remotely to my office server using the AFP protocol.
Now, here's the weird problem: Now that I am with Xplornet, I can connect to my server remotely from any location EXCEPT my house. I can go to a Starbucks and connect to my server. I can go on vacation in the U.S. and use the local WiFi to connect to my server. But I CANNOT connect from my house to the remote server.
I have spoken to Xplornet and they say it's an Apple problem (which is what every non-Apple tech always seems to say). Or, perhaps, they say, it's the local dealer (Sentel Communications).
Sentel says I need to pay for a static IP for my home (Huh?). Why would I need to pay for a static IP at home just so I can connect OUT to a remote server?
Is this somehow related to the Belkin router not letting me "out"?
Any thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for responding, Bob.
Below is the result of my Ping attempt, and port scans. I scanned 548, and 5003, which I use for FileMaker (which works fine from home), I don't use screen sharing. (I can confirm that both 548 and 5003 are open on Airport on the host machine.)
So, from my home (remote) location, here's what I get (IP: 74.xx.xxx.xx):
--- 74.xx.xxx.xx ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 10 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 57.126/91.371/185.774/45.549 ms
Scan of port 5003
Port Scan has started ...
Port Scanning host: 74.xx.xxx.xx
Open TCP Port: 5003 fmpro-internal
Port Scan has completed ...
Scan of port 548
Port Scan has started ...
Port Scanning host: 74.xx.xxx.xx
Port Scan has completed ...
So, 5003 is OK, 548 is not. I have to conclude this is related to my home ISP in some way?
Unfortunately, the host server is running 10.3 (don't ask), which is not supported by Logmein. (I do use Logmein for a Windows machine on the same network, and I can connect to one area of the server via the PC, but not to the part I need, which might be the subject of a future thread.)
Regardless, being able to connect to my work server remotely from every location EXCEPT from my home is infuriating.
I just saw this thread about an ISP that has blocked port 548, although I always assumed the ports had to be open on the host side, but maybe not? (I have to confess, I do find the port stuff confusing.)
If my home ISP blocks 548, then I guess that would prevent me from remotely accessing the server from home?
If that is the case, is port 548 the only AFP option?

If you want your mail delivered properly the Official Host Name of the sending server should match the PTR (reverse DNS) of the sending IP Address, and there should be an "A" record that matches the OHN as well.
Example:
mail.yourdomain.com (Official Host Name) on 123.123.123.123
PTR for 123.123.123.123 should match mail.yourdomain.com
There should be an A record in yourdomain.com pointing to 123.123.123.123

ICloud imap server rejects my password

Hi does anyone know how to stop the server from not accepting my password

Hello Linds,
No need to redo everything.
Is your gMail POP or IMAP?
It's likely just a Port# or authentication method not really the Password.
Directions for both...
