Can't get thunderbird to accept one of my email passwords

I have tried repeatedly to add a 4th email account to Thunderbird. It is a GMAIL account. I know the password and username are correct, but it won't accept it. Anyone have a clue why?

Go to gmail and read about their Less Secure Apps option. This is the usual problem with gmail.

  • I changed the password to one of my gmail accounts. My MacBook Air accepts the new password and shows me email, my iPhone 5s tells me it's not a valid password. In settings, I change the password and pw is accepted. How can I get 5s to accept new pw?

    CORRECTION! GMAIL accepts new pw and shows me email. Mail on MacBook Air and iPhone 5s do not accept new gmail pw. What can I do to get my apple products to accept my new gmail pw?

  • I can't get Thunderbird to recognize the password to the gmail account I am trying to add.

    I am trying to add a gmail account to Thunderbird that is already hosting several gmail accounts. No matter what I do, I can't get Thunderbird to recognize the password. I admit, I got is wrong a few times, but I did get the right one, and it was typed in perfectly several times, as well as copy and pasted. The password worked fine to log into the account directly, but not into Thunderbird. I tried changing the password, and that did not work either. I have tried adding this account in Windows 8.1 as well as Ubuntu 14.04, and the results have been the same. In Ubuntu, I tried adding another account I needed added, and that went without a hitch. The only think I can think of is the address I am trying to add is linked to a email address for a website being transferred to me that is hosted by Yahoo and its business mail. I tried adding the yahoo account directly, but I add the same issues with passwords, but I suspect most of you know that is because Yahoo is simply sucking more and more in an attempt to become irrelevant.

    I cannot believe the swiftness of your the help on this forum, within seconds you guys fixed the problem, and the account was added with no further issues. The people on this forum rock!!!!!
    I am now beginning to suspect it indeed had to do with that first lot of wrong passwords.

  • How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password

    My Apple ID and password works for iTunes and App Store.  I'm trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone and iPad but i keep getting an error message that reads unsupported ID.  Apple ID must be in the form of email address (@me.com).  I don't have a MobileMe account. How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password?

    I've also reset my password to my Apple ID. I still get the Unsupported ID and password.

  • I ended up with 3 Apple IDs over time.  How can I get it down to one account?

    I ended up with 3 Apple IDs over time.  When I sink my iPad, some apps won't sync because the app was purchased under a different account? 
    How can I get it down to one account and be able to sync all of my iTunes purchases (apps, music, etc.) on my iPad and iPhone?
    This is driving me crazy!  grrrr.   :-)
    I have .me; .mac and .icloud accounts.

    Thanks.  I was afraid of that.  Darn Apple....we use Apple products because they are elegant and easy to use, why can't apple simplify the ID issues???   :-)
    Thanks for the reply.

  • How do I adjust the page orientation in Pages?  I want to keep the pages above the section break as portrait, and the ones below I want to change into landscape.  Is this possible?  I can only get it to be one or the other but not both.

    I want to keep the pages above the section break as portrait, and the ones below I want to change into landscape.  Is this possible?  I can only get it to be one or the other but not both.

    The work around is to do two documents, one in portrait format and one in landscape format. When finished export to Pdf. open in Preview by select both files and use Cmd + O or doubleclick. You can now in Previews thumbnail column the pages from one document into the other and then save.
    If you have created only one with i.e. all pages in portrait format but with the content for the landscape pages rotated on the pages, you can rotate the pages in Preview. Two ways to get the same result.

  • I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one. it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

    I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one? it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

    I would like to know the answer to that one.  I realized this was happening just after upgradeing my iOS to 6.  Then when I looked up my purchase date, I was about 5 days past my one year warranty.  So I'm dead in the water.  Apple will replace the battery, but it will be about $80+.  I took it to the Apple store, and they checked a bunch of stuff, but said that it seemed ok.  I'm debating getting a battery for a more reasonable price off of ebay.  But if it's the iOS thats draining the battery, then I'm not going to be able to help it.  I wish I knew a better way to tell if its the battery, the phone, or the iOS.

  • I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory.  It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

    Question:  I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory.  It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

    The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images).  You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer.  If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it.  If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
    NOTE:  If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5.

    You may have installed your TextWrangler application without administrator privileges. In this you'll have to look for the twdiff file in the Local Applications Support Folder (refer to TextWrangler User Manual).
    To fix your problem with Dreamweaver, while selecting your File Compare tool, try looking for the twdiff file in the following location :
    Macintosh HD:usr:local:bin:twdiff
    That should definitely work. It did for me

    Hey there xntricj,
    It sounds like you are putting a password for your Apple ID that works without issue on your iPad into your iPhone but get a message saying that the password is incorrect. I recommend the steps from the article named:
    iCloud: "Incorrect Apple ID or Password" alert when setting up iCloud after upgrading to iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5207
    After completing iOS 7 setup, go to Settings > iCloud.
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then enter your previous Apple ID and password.
    If your Apple ID or password are not accepted, follow the steps in iOS 7: If you're asked for your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

    Remove the contacts from 'On My Mac' you don't have duplicates, you are looking at 2 accounts at once.

    Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
    Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.
    Regards.
