Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?
I run Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. Downloaded and installed Tbird 31.1.1 today.
Logged in to my Gmail account using copy and paste of my username and password from a file. I enabled IMAP. Logged out of my Gmail account.
Turned off Windows Firewall. My task bar is red at me with 1 important message: Windows Security Center Service (Important) The Windows Security Center service is turned off.
I have no antivirus software installed other than Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE.) I went to Control Panel | Programs and looked, finding nothing. This was to be expected because I haven't installed antivirus software before.
Restarted in Safe Mode with networking, which seems to turn off MSE.
Back in TB, I clicked Create a new account: Email. Entered my name, Google E-mail address, Google password. I used copy and paste to enter the same Gmail address and password that worked for my login minutes previously. It autopopulated the fields. I clicked Done. After a few seconds, got the error message:
Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?
So with no antivirus software, no firewall, and restarted in safe mode, what is the problem?
Thanks.
I tried again today without success. I have been able to get Tbird to download mail from a non-Gmail provider but not send messages with this non-Gmail account.
I have enabled 2-factor authentication in Gmail for this account. I followed the instructions from Toad Hall at 9/20/14 1:28 PM here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1020778
I got the password from Google and went to Tbird. I went to Tools | Options | Security | Passwords and deleted all the Gmail entries. I shut down and restarted Tbird. I highlighted the Gmail account I created and hit F5. Nothing at all happened. I deleted the account and tried to recreate the account again. I got the familiar error message that Tbird cannot set up the Gmail account. So now what?

I have tried to add a hotmail account to Thunderbird because my Internet provider will stop e-mail support in the near future. I was able to add a hotmail account to Thunderbird, but I get the following error message when I try to receive e-mail in this hotmail account: "Configuration could not be verified – is the user name or password wrong?" (The hotmail website receives the e-mail.) User name and password is certainly correct. I have a 8.1 OS. Thank you.
got an anti virus that thinks it should scan email. Turn that function off.
Have a firewall, check that Thunderbird has full internet access, not some Auto rubbish that somehow fails. -
Configuration could not be verified - My username and password are correct!
I am trying to add a second gmail account to Thunderbird, but without success. The first addition went flawlessly.
Now that I'm attempting the second, I am confronted with the error message "Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?"
Answer = no. I have verified them by logging into gmail.com with IE several times, and made sure to log out afterwards to ensure no conflict. I do not use two-step verification with either accounts. I have tried to 'fool' google's email servers by capitalizing the outgoing SMTP letters (so as to differentiate from the previous login smtp letters), but thunderbird does not permit capitalization.
I have not found any other *solved* forum posts that can help me with this problem. I'm running Windows 8.1 and Thunderbird 31.2.0.
This is a call for help.Same problem for me, too. It happens on my iPad, iPhone, and iMac. Weird because I have great Internet connectivity and I can log into and view my iTunes account. I've downloaded three new apps with no problem. But my iPad shows 14 apps needing updates, my iPhone shows 2, and my iMac shows 1. In all cases, clicking on "update" and entering the password results in the message, "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". It's the same result across multiple WiFi networks, even after resetting them.
I'll see if someone at the Genius Bar can help and then I will repost. -
Configuration could not be verified
I have tried installing, uninstalling, reinstalling Thunderbird five times now. Each time I go through the set up of an existing email account (since it WAS working for like 2 years until suddenly yesterday it wouldn't retrieve messages no matter what I tried). Contacted my hosting company to no avail. I can log into my webmail account through them (myurl.com/webmail) using my user name and password just fine.
When I go through set up, I click use an existing account then manual configuration because the outgoing mail port the host uses is 25 and my user name is the full email address, not just the first part of it. I get the error that says "Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?" No. Neither. I've reentered it probably 20 times. Using IMAP not POP. Always used IMAP.
The computer this is happening on is running Windows 8. I tried installing it on a laptop at home that is running Windows 7 and everything worked fine. Like I said, this was working fine until yesterday. This Windows 8 computer is a 64-bit operating system, x-64 based processor.
Any ideas?sounds like a firewall issue or anti virus ( they are indistinguishable really as most problems are anti virus firewalls anyway.)
Restarting the Machine in safe mode with Networking will disable anti virus firewalls and mail scanning and you will probably get on Ok. Let me know! -
Could not open gmail on the mail application of the mac book pro.

Gmail and Yahoo both scan users' emails. They do algorithmic analysis of your email messages, targeting ads that relate to the content of your messages. -
Configuration could not be verified error when connect to Cox
Hi,
I'm trying to connect to Cox but keep getting the "configuration could not be verified" error. I can access my Cox account through web mail and I've retyped and retried my email address and password enough times to be confident that it's correct. I've also verified my account settings (incoming/outgoing server and ports) with Cox support, and I've checked the my firewall and antivirus settings (norton 360). No luck with anything.
I'd really appreciate any thoughts anyone has!
Thanks,
DavidI should have added that my Cox connection has been set up several years now with no problems but suddenly quit working. I checked everything I know to check, including firewall settings, and finally deleted email account and tried to set it up again. Still getting the same error.

using the new password I get a "Configuration could not be verified" error message.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You
BrendanThat sounds like you're trying to create a new account. What exactly are you doing?

I was using configurator without trouble. Unfortunately, my battery died and my computer went down. I plugged my computer in, restarted it and tried to open configurator. Now this is the error I am getting. Apple Configurator could not open your library.The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format. How do I fix this?
Thank you for responding. The number 2 after the file final cut events is temporary so I can copy it to another drive while I am working on this. . i got a new message that reads...

I have changed my password and still can't get home sharing to work. Get the message "Home sharing could not be activated because the account or password was incorrect." It's what I have used to sign in here! Any help much appreciated.
So I reset my Apple ID password. Which then stopped my MobileMe account from working. Hang on - these were 2 different accounts a while ago, with different passwords!!!
So I have logged back in to MobileMe with my AppleID, and that's working again. After a short wait I can now create Home Sharing again.
Folks, I think we have just had our Apple IDs merged with our MobileMe accounts!! With no consultation or warning.
My guess is that this is the most seamless way for Apple to do it, as the vast majority of people use only one email address and one password for everything. Only those of us who had the same email adress but different a different passwords for MobileMe and Apple ID will have noticed. Annoying for us few, but a clever strategy on Apple's part, becasue we have been driven to fix the issue ourselves by chaning the password, and in doing so we have realised that our mobileme account is now the same thing as our Apple ID. -

After getting the dreaded gray/blue screen, I tried to run disk repair on the internal disk. I got an error message saying "Disk Utility can't repair this disk and restore your backed-up files.

Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it. See below for how to clone a drive.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
You may be able to backup your data if you have an erased external drive you can use. Before you do the above but after you have opened Disk Utility you can try to clone your drive:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Now this will only work if the drive is accessible and can be cloned by Disk Utility. Otherwise, you would need to access your drive from another Mac that you can connect via Firewire - Target Disk Mode. -
SQL version could not be verified error while installing the SCOM 2012 R2 reporting component
I have the below SCOM server roles in my SCOM 2012 R2 set up
1) All servers with Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, MS - SCOM1, DB & DW - DB1, Reporting Server - DB2
2) All the DB servers with SQL 2012 SP1
3) Windows firewall is turned off on all the servers.
4) Success fully installed all the components except SCOM reporting.
While installing the SCOM 2012 R2 reporting component on DB2 ( Iam running this set up on the server where I instllaed the SQL DB engine and reportin services in Native mode. Configured the SQL reporting database and reporting URLs successfully in SQL reporting
configuration manager) getting the below error in the Rporting server instance page. Kindly advise.
I ran mofcomp.exe and there is no firewall restrictions. My account also has DB owner & sysadmin permissions.
Also tried re installing the SQL on Reporting server.
"The installed version of SQL Server could not be verified or is not supported. Verify that the computer and the installed version of SQL Server meet the minimum requirements for installation, and that the firewall settings are correct. See the Supported
Configurations document for further information".Hi,
As far as I know, after installing SSRS, we don't need to configure the database and reporting URLs manully. When we install the reporting service for SCOM, it will configure those automatically.
If possible, you may re-install SSRS and then install SCOM reporting service.

Yan Li

I am using Mac OS X 10.7.5 as of now and when I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks, the App Store is throwing error "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or not signed".
Is there anything I should do differently? Is anyone else facing the same issue?
Kindly help.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
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.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal. -
