  • My Mac Mail constantly asks for our passwords before opening our accounts.  New iMac with OSX Maverick

    My Mac Mail constantly asks for our passwords before opening our accounts.  New iMac with OS x Maverick.  We get messages such as " Mail can't connect.  Appears to be offline due to network problems." or "The connection to the server (null) in port ) timed out."  I have confirmed server connections OK with Cox Communication and our Cox Webmail accounts.

    Hi Bob13524,
    Man, that definitely sounds frustrating! And it sounds like this issue is occurring with several accounts, so let’s see if we can troubleshoot this. The following resource provides some great information for troubleshooting Mail issues, including information on using the Connection Doctor:

  • My ipad mini is not usable because it constantly asks for iCloud password. It also will not connect to network. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    My son's ipad mini has become not usable because it asks for constantly asks for iCloud password. It says that it is not the correct password and the screen reappears. I know the password is correct because I can login to the website via another PC.
    Part of the issue is that it appears not be connected to the network. It appears to be trying to then gets interuptted by the iCloud password request.
    I tried to restore from iTunes when connected to PC, however, it says it cannot do this because Find My Phone has been activated on the ipad. To deactiviate I need to turn it off on the ipad which required my iCloud password (seems I am in a catch 22).
    Any suggestions on how to proceed?
    Thanks.

    Hopefully this will me get you back up.

  • Constantly Asked for Keychain Password

    I am being constantly asked for my keychain password whenever opening an application that accesses it. I don't know why the permission needs to be given each time. What can I do?
    This is really part two of a problem I mentioned earlier (the first part has been taken care of).

    There was no "Admin" keychain, but yes I am logged in as the admin. There were, for some reason, two "System keychains." I went into my matthewmcvickar/Library/Keychains folder and deleted login.keychain (huh?) and matthewmcvickar.keychain (the old one) and the extra System keychain disappeared. Then I deleted this latest keychain and created another one.
    Still being asked for the password... the password I created for this one is the same as the current password for my account (the admin account).
    What's the problem?

  • Here's a simple fix for Mail constantly asking for account password

    This one was driving me nuts, but now I have a  fix...I think. Open up Keychain Access in Utiliites. Double click the entry in the login keychain, then check "Show Password." Give your login password and hit the "Allow" button. After the pword is shown, just close the box. That's it. No more need to redo all the pwords in Mail and Keychain. Works for me. Mail seems to need some hand holding from time to time.

    My e-mail provider is Verizon. If I'm being asked for the password for the main account, I double-click on this in the login keychain shown below. But since I'm using Snow Leopard, this might appear differently for you, although I doubt it.

  • A definitive solution to stop Mail constantly asking for my password??

    I have Snow Leopard running on Intel iMac.
    Like so many others my Mac Mail keeps on asking for my password even though its saved on my keychain.
    I have read pretty every solution I can find find from Keychain repair to deleting and creating a new account.... No joy... problem still occurs a few times a day on both my Hotmail pop and Gmail pop.....
    I wanted to know if there is a definitive solution to this problem... is there a software release for this or an ABSOLUTE .... PROVEN TO FIX ALL OCCURRENCES SOLUTION.... that works for everyone.??
    If not then I suppose I must use a different email client
    Thanks for your replies

    Dodgy servers being likely... is that going to happen with both Gmail and Hotmail?
    Doesn't happen with my GMail account. I'm connecting to GMail via IMAP, what about you? As to Hotmail, that one's notorious for having trouble with Mail.
    As to the fact that you don't see the problem with Entourage, it could be that there's something wrong with your Mail setup, but I don't know what might be different about how Entourage communicates with the server. I'm sure Ernie might have some insights.
    In the "Preferences" "Accounts" "Account Information" I put in my password and then save on exiting... as far as I am concerned it is saved within the software. But whenever this issue occurs, the saved password has vanished.
    It's actually stored in the Keychain, which could be one source of problems. If your keychain is damaged, it would cause problems for Mail but probably not Entourage. Try opening Keychain Access and choose Keychain Access -> Keychain First Aid. Also, try deleting the account passwords in the keychain completely, then enter the password when Mail prompts for it and check the box to save it in the keychain.
    Why would a "troublesome server from a location with bad internet service" delete the password I have saved on an Apple software product...
    If you get a password prompt, and you try to enter the password but it gets rejected due to some difficulty communicating with the server, Mail might decide to remove the "incorrect" password. That's just theory, as I've never actually done that. On the rare occasion that I get a password prompt, I just hit cancel, wait a little while and take the account online again. Typically, unless the server is still having difficulty, mail is retrieved without the need to re-enter the password.

  • Mail is constantly asking for my password.

      I enter the password and tell keychain to remember it, but an hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, later mail is asking for the password again. The program has worked for a number of years without problem.  Then a couple of months ago this started.  It is happening on all three of my systems.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Open Keychain Access   /Applications/Utilities
    Select Passwords on the left.
    Delete your mail password.
    Open the Mail app. From the menu bar click Mail / Preferences then select the Accounts tab then select the Account Information tab.
    Type in your password. You should be prompted to save that to a new keychain. Click Yes when promppted.
    If that doesn't help, go to the Keychain Access menu bar then click Keychain First Aid.
    Click Verify then click Repair if necessary.
    Try adding the password again in the Mail / Accounts Information pane.

  • Outlook 2011 on MAC constantly asks for exchange password

    Hi All,
    i've gone through posts related to the topic but have not been able to figure out a related response that i can understand.
    i'm running outlook 2011 on macbook air / OS  Mavericks 9.4.
    When i put in my exchange server settings, it connects, prompts asking to allow auto discover settings. i click yes, it downloads emails then abruptly asks for username and password non-stop. If i click cancel then outlook disconnects.
    My company is running a hosted exchange server (2010) on  something called "rackspace".  My IT admin is not provided access to the server itself but rather to a limited control panel which is primarily of no use. He accessed my profile
    with this control panel and downloaded outlook 2011 under my profile along with profile configuration tool on rackspace. Nothing seems to work.
    When the IT admin chatted with the guys at rackspace, they had no clue what was causing the problem.
    i have now installed windows 8.1 pro and outlook 2013 on the MAC via VMWARE virtual machine. Outlook does work, asks for the password a few times during the day but after entering credentials multiple times - continues  to work.
    I'm now desperate to figure out how to get outlook 2011 / exchange emails to work on the MAC.
    Hope someone can help me arrive at a solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    kind Regards
    Azhar

    Hi,
    According to your description, your account works properl on Outlook for Windows but prompt credentials on Outlook for MAC. If I misundertand your meaning, please feel free to let me know.
    If yes, I recomemnd you try to access your account on other Outlook for Mac client or check if other Outlook for Mac users come across the same issue. If yes, I recommend you contact with your admin and check if there is something wrong with your EWS virtual
    directory. Because, Outlook for MAC will contact the EWS virtual directly, which is different from the Outlook for Windows clients.
    If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
    Thanks,

  • IMessage Constantly Asking for iCloud Password - Mavericks

    Hi, I've been having issues for quite some time now with my iMessage on my MacBook 2010.  I started having issues with Mountain Lion where I was unable to sign in.  After updating to Mavericks upon release I ran into issues where iMessage constantly asks me for my iCloud password.  I honestly just quit using the program because it was so frustrating.  I've decided to give it another shot and have scoured these fourms.  I have deleted all associated passwords in Keychain Access, checked my Disk Utility for any repairs that might be necessary, signed out of my iMessage account in the program and signed back in only find that my phone number is no longer associated with iMessages on my MacBook.  I'm very frustrated that a core component of the OS simply won't work and I've tried everything that I can find on the support community forums.  If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    That was me, sorry for the confusion.
    It is Preferences > First Aid Tab...
    If the only account in the Messages App that is supposed to be active is the iMessages one then the Status item in the Message Menu means nothing.
    This only refers to Accounts that have Buddy Lists (and therefore a Status according to the Servers they connect to, the exception being the Bonjour account)
    An Apple ID can be an iCloud ID.
    Obviously the password is the same.
    Is this the Apple ID you use for iCloud ?
    If it is try turning Off the iCloud Keychain for now in the System Preferences > iCloud.

  • I installed 10.9.2 and again it is constantly asking for account passwords.

    I updated to 10.9.2. Mail is suddenly again asking for all my email passwords. It did not start right awny but this morning it kept popping up asking every 2-3 minutes. Then it quits. Thoughts?

    Check the messages under "More Like This" in the column on the right to see if there's any useful advice in those threads.

  • Itunes constantly asking for my password

    The last couple of days my 3GS is asking me for my password and I'm not using the ipod or anything that I'm aware of that needs itunes. Any suggestions. Thanks

    Only time I have seen this is after switching to my wifes old iPhone (she got new one and my original finally had button issues).
    With her old phone I had her apps still on it and started installing new ones via phones App store under my account.
    When one of her apps had an update (or could may happen when it checks for updates) and it asked for password I kept entering mine but since the app it was trying to check/update was one installed under her account. So if failed, but then kept asking for password like you described.
    Do you have any apps that you may of installed with a different account? If so, change to that account.

  • My mac is constantly asking for keychain passwords

    Almost every 10 minutes my mac asks for a keychain password, ex. calendar, addressbook, outlook,etc. Can someone please help me get rid of this, thanks.

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • Itouch constantly asking for itunes password

    For the last few days, my itouch keeps asking me, randomly and constantly, for my itunes passord. It used to only do this if I was downloading or updating an app, but now it does it with no apparent prompt or reason. I've tried canceling and I've tried entering my password; neither approach makes it stop. Can someone explain/help me fix this??
    Thanks,
    M

    My iPhone just started doing this and it's doing my head in. It asks about every 5 minutes. I have nothing in downloads pending - no apps, no music, no films. I have no idea why it's happening but I need it to stop. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Mail still constantly asks for Gmail password

    I have been unable to use Mail for over a year now due to the fact that no matter what I do it asks me for my Gmail password every two minutes.  I thought I would give it a try after upgrading to Yosemite Beta and I see it is still the same situation.  Hard to believe that after YEARS of this known issue there is still no fix.  Mail is unusable in this state and it forces me to us ***whisper*** Outlook ***gag***.
    At least on Mavericks I could use Google Chat in Messages but that functionality is broken now in Yosemite.
    I have deleted every Google related item in my keychain, deleted and reinstalled the account, said really nice things to my mac and it still won't cooperate.  Now when I try to add the account In Yosemite it will only connect with Contacts and Calendar and can't even make the connection with Mail, Messages or Notes.
    Strange because my Google Drive sync works just fine!
    Anyone know a solution for this or are we going to wait a few more years for this remain unfixed?
    Any help you can provide would be great.  I would love to use Mail someday!

    Hi,
    It does work.
    What I did find out from another thread is that it has to be Set at Google to be a "Less Secure" App despite it using SSL.
    As has been said two step verification can seem to get in the way.
    On the Google page for this.
    Allowing less secure apps to access your account
    Google may block sign in attempts from some apps or devices that do not use modern security standards. Since these apps and devices are easier to break into, blocking them helps keep your account safer.
    Some examples of apps that do not support the latest security standards include:
    The Mail app on your iPhone or iPad with iOS 6 or below
    The Mail app on your Windows phone preceding the 8.1 release
    Some Desktop mail clients like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird
    You need to start here https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps?hl=en
    (Messages is one that they deem a Less Secure app but what "security" they are using is not clear.)

  • IPhone constantly asking for WiFi passwords when SSID is known

    I recently got a new iPhone 6 and whenever I'm out somewhere in town I get random prompts  "incorrect WiFi password" all the time. This didn't happen on my old 4S that was still running running iOS 7.
    So I narrowed this problem down: This happens when some random WiFi network is nearby that just happens to have an SSID name that matches a different network that I previously connected to. Because a lot of people leave the default names like "AndroidAP", this soon becomes annoying as ****.
    Now, the password prompt probably makes sense from a technical point of view. Probably it cannot tell WiFis with identical SSIDs apart, right?? But it's so persistent, it annoys the **** out of me. Obviously iOS 7 had a way of "failing silently" - the WiFi password at my work changes every week and yet I never got  this message on my old phone. It just would not connect and let you re-enter the password by going into WiFi settings.
    Anyone know how to get the old behavior back?

    I had the same problem and what I did was to ask a friend to activate his AndroidAP network, let me log in with his password and after being connected I went to Wi-Fi Settings of that network ("AndroidAP") and choose "Forget this Network". It takes a bit of trouble for doing this (and someone able to create a network with the name "AndroidAP", but at least my movies won't be interrupted again when I'm travelling on the bus through the city. Please Apple, allow users to ignore SSIDs without needing to be logged in
