Cannot setup email account always asking for password

Just got the IPad3 and setting up my email account. I tried setting it up the same way as my IPhone. Had the email account and password entered but when I exit, it gives me a message saying that it may not be able to send or received mail. I don't know what else is missing from the setup.
When I try to open my email, it always asks for the password, entered the password again but does not open my email.
Please help.
Thank you.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

You aren't going to be able to delete it without the correct password. If it's your ID, you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If it isn't your ID, you will have to get the password for the person who owns the ID. There's no way around this and no one else can help.

help!!!! So i Changed my apple id account and i was trying to update my instagram app but when i tried to, it brought up the old account and asked for password, help what is going on, what should i do??

- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

Every time I launch itunes it always asks for password

Every time I launch iTunes it always asks for password. I have no pending downloads or app updates. Nothing. There is no downloads plist to delete, no preferences to set - Fed up wth this. Been searching for answer for months. iTunes Store help just gives the runaround.

Good idea, thanks, but no, that didn't solve it. Any other thoughts?

The other day I finally sync to the cloud and one of my email accounts keeps asking for a password

I finally sync'd to the cloud - I have an iMac, iPhone, and iPad - it was getting tiresome to keep deleting emails off of all three. I have two email accounts - Gmail and SBCGlobal (ATT). I have no problem with the Gmail account, but the SBCGlobal email account keeps asking me for my password on my iMac. If I go directly to the Yahoo or SBCglobal site, the both the password and the new mail is there. Any Ideas?

Yes, you need to enter your password. The fact that your web browser is auto filling in your password when you go to the email service's web site does not have anything to do with the iCloud client having it. Are you sure the password you are being asked for is your email password, and not your AppleId, or user account password?

Guest account is asking for password

Hi guys,
So I was trying to connect to the internet at uconn from my guest account and it says that i have to verify a certificate. This is normal and on my main account i usually just do it. In my guest account though, when i try to verify it, it asks for verfication. It asks for a password for my guest account but I never set up a passoword for the guest account.

Thank You
I still haven't tried it yet since for some reason, the guest account does not always ask for verfication of the certificate.
Once the certificate is properly verified, it should not ask for it again until the certificate expires, usually a number of years.

HT1277 Can't sync my icloud with mail... always ask for password

Can't sync my icloud with mail... always ask for password

You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

Finder always asks for password in Documents

When I try to make a new document, to save something or to edit something in my \Documents folder, Finder always asks for a password.
Saving in another program to the Documents folder isn't possible because the program can't write to the folder and just says ACCESS DENIED (Final Cut Express).
I checked the permissions of the Documents folder and it says User (me) Read and write and everyone (No access). What should I do to make my Documents folder somewhat more accessable?

Odd, but it worked. Thanks! The folder now behaves as it used to.
But nothing changed in the Permissions, which I think is odd.
Shouldn't Apple make a easier way to do this?
ah, yes, that's a good point, oft discussed on this forum. the problem is that there are a lot of ACLs like those "everyone deny delete" ones that were preventing you from modifying items in Documents that are completely invisible from GUI. as a result you look at the permissions panel and think that everything is normal when in fact there may be a number of ACLs present. this is a terrible design decision by Apple. one can only hope it will be addressed in future versions of OS X.

My computer is always asking for passwords

When I turn on my Mac it´s always asking for my iCloud and Keychain password. I don´t know what is happening, even if I introduce my password it will ask me again...

Have you changed your password lately? If so, you should reset your keychain.

CVS always asks for password

Whenever I contact the CVS server (over at Sourceforge) JDev always asks for the password to the server. Is there a way I can make JDev store this password in some way?
I use the CVS-executable in TortoiseCVS and also use the TortoisePlink executable as the ssh client. Everything works just perfect, it's just really annoying to have to type in my password for every little CVS activity.
Any solutions?

The user is in the best position to decide if there is a security issue with persisting the password in JDeveloper or not.
I had this problem too. There is obviously a conflict in requirements of security vs usability so really, you should warn the user but let the user decide how to configure it and let him take responsibility.
JDeveloper should interoperate with the user's environment, within reason, and not make him change it.
Note, the HTTP proxy login has a similar problem. Not every time, but often when JDeveloper goes to the www it re-asks for the proxy password.
I dont care if JDeveloper stores either password in the clear in its XML configuration files, as long as it remembers them. It can warn me but it should do it if I tell it to ignore the risk. Then I can get on with my development job rather than having to reconfigure my CVS server or www proxy which are not mine to reconfigure anyway.
Cheers,
Simon.

Yahoo account keeps asking for password on apple mail

hi im running mountain lion and my yahoo account keeps asking for my password every now and then and its getting really annoying. i enter the right password but then it will ask for it again later. its only with my yahoo account. can anyone help? thank you!

go to applications > utilities > keychain access
you may need to enter your password to unlock the lock in the left upper corner.
under keychains select login
under category select passwords
make sure that there are no duplicate entries for yahoo mail. If there are, delete them
if that doesn't work, delete all of the yahoo entries, and go back in mail.app > preferences and delete the yahoo account and reenter the account info from scratch.
doing keychain first aid wouldn't hurt either.
in keychain access, do option-command-A
verify and then repair.
this will probably fix it.

Cannot write anything when terminal asks for password

I try to uninstall a F-secure product with uninstaller but when prompted about password I cannot write anything there

Cannot write anything when terminal asks for password
When using sudo in Terminal, which requires a password, typing the password will not show as asterisks. It does not visually echo the keystrokes, but it is accepting them.
Just carefully type the password, and press Return when finished,

ICloud always asks for password following email change?

I recently changed my apple email.
But the iCloud on my macbook pro (2009; running Mavericks) will not recognize the new email as being the one for iCloud.
It continuously interrupts what I'm doing and asks for my password.
Any suggestions on how to solve this?
Cheers.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Cannot setup email account

Hi, I have had my Blackberry Torch for a while now. When I first got it I tried to setup the email account but for some reason my email address was already there, it said all I have to do is type in my password, so I did. But it keeps saying 'Sorry, unable to continue your session. Try again later'. How do I get my email to work? Or how do I delete the email completely and start again? Please help!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Inside of the same email configuration wizard, you can remove any account that is already there, and thereby start over clean.
KB04620 How to delete an email account integrated with BlackBerry Internet Service
KB02189 How to associate email addresses with the BlackBerry Internet Service account
If you cannot do so via the on-device wizard, then try, from your BB Browser, this site:
www.blackberry.com/integrate
Further, from a PC/browser, you can access your BIS account (which is what this all is) if your carrier provides such an interface:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Where_can_I_log_into_my_BIS_account%3F
Last but not least, you can ring up your mobile service provider as they manage your BIS account for you.
Hopefully something amidst that will work for you!

Mail, always asks for password.. it's driving me crazy!

Lately my mail (2.1.3 version) icon bounces up and down when open, and a box pops up saying:
Enter password for account "POP account". The POP server"..." rejected the password for user "...." please re-enter your password, or cancel. Remember this password in my keychain.
I enter my password and ask it to remember it. It works fine for a short while before stalling then getting me to enter the password again. This is a new development and it worked fine before. Has anyone else experienced this? I have tried to look into mail prefs. to see if there is any adjustments to be made, but there seems to be none . The thing is even bouncing as I write this.. Thank you.

Hey guys I just posted on a similar thread about how I was able to fix the issue for me. i kept having problems with mail asking for my yahoo password. tried keychain repair, removing the account and adding it back, removing the plist file and even reinstalled 10.5 (not because of this) and the problem persist. So I went to my yahoo account settings and in to the Pop settings. There, listed were the exact configuration specs. I referenced those against my current configuration (which was Apple's automatic configuration) and noticed the inbound and outbound servers were missing the word "plus" in front of their respective servers addresses. Entered the correct address, and so far so good. It hasn't asked me for my password in over a week now so I think I'm safe. I would say, if you haven't already, double check your current configuration with something you find from your email provider, especially if you've used Apple's automatic setup. Hope this helps.
