Difficulty logging into imail

i Have always used my network solutions based (via the internet) mail service...I would now like to use my imail account which I believe has a .mac email address linked to it but when I try to access it it looks for an SMTP.MAC password....when i input my .mac password it does not work, any thoughts from the assmebled gurus out there??? thanks in advance.

well .mac isnt a pop type email account it works via IMAP
however if your being asked for a password it should be the same password you use to login to the account as if you went to www.mac.com
you could choose to save the password in keychain so you dont always get asked for it
im pretty sure i was never asked for the smtp password though

  • Having difficulty logging into website on Safari

    I am trying to log into a password-protected website since yesterday.... if I 'clear history and website data', I am able to see the log in form.  Once I've done that, all I see is 'welcome, Tricia' but no form.  I have to click 'clear history...' again each time to log in.  No issues with Firefox in doing this.  The website support says the issue is not on their end.  Any advice?  Thanks! 

      Go step by step by step and test.
    1. Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
        Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
        Restart the computer.

  • Difficulty logging into e-mail

    For the last couple of weeks I have had difficulties logging into my e-mails from the bt.com home page. I type in my e-mail address and password, hit log in - and NOTHING happens - the screen just "freezes" without any informaation at the bottom of the screen showing what was happening.
    Sometimes it will happen just onece, and then it's OK, but at other times (like today) I had to access my e-mails via another route. I tried again some considerable time later and I logged on at the second attempt.
    As you can imagine I am getting a little frustrated.

  • First use of FF3.6.1-Great difficulty logging into my account on a website. If this isn't fixed right away, I will stop using FF after many years.

    First website used first use of FF 3.6.1:
    1. My password didn't work to open my existing account on a website.
    2. I called the site's customer service and changed password.
    3. It would only open in new window. Each time I wanted to go to my account I had to open new window.
    4. If I go to page 2 of my account, I have to reenter login info.
    If I go to another page on the site, I have to reenter login info.
    I have never had to do these things before, unless it had been a day or two since I last opened my account.
    Anyone else with this problem?
    Any suggestions to fix it at my end?
    Will FoxFire fix it at their end?
    Since I use this site frequently, I have just begun using another browser and might have to stop using FF after being longtime user.

  • EMacs cant log into active directory anymore

    Hello,
    I'm hoping you can give me some insight as to what is going on.
    We run an active directory network which is basically all PCs.
    We do however have two rooms with 12 eMacs in them each. Up until mid December they had been mostly fine but what we are exeriencing now is that they are having real difficulty logging into the active directory.
    If i click on the names of the machines eventually i will see one of three things:
    1. Green dot- network accounts available. These we can log into.
    2. Yellow dot - some network accounts available. These we cant log into.
    3. Red dot - no network accounts available. These we cant log into.
    My knowledge of Macs is about a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10.
    The DHCP server is server 2003
    The eMacs are running OS X 10.4.11
    I can log into them as local administrator and can browse the network and even get onto the internet when they are unable to log onto Active directory.
    What ive done so far...
    1. If i unbind and then rebind the mac using directory access they can log in for a while but then randomly they change so that we cant log into them anymore.
    2. gave each of the macs an ip reservation on the dhcp server so that they always pick up the same ip address.
    3. removed them from Active directory and re added them. even gave them different names.
    4. Changed out the switch they were plugged into.
    none of these has solved the issue so far so im hoping that someone might have seen something like this before...
    thank you.

    It sounds as though your iPhone is having some difficulty accessing the App Store servers when attempting to sign in. I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • Issue logging into gamecentre

    I have an IPhone 5s, just got it today so very much a novice at this. Have logged into Game Centre, yet my game (Hay Day, if it's relevant) doesn't recognise it as being logged in. GC shows Hay Day as being one of the games, and shows my achievments.
    I want to 'friend' myself (another account) but it just freezes when I try to send an invite, and my other GC account doesn't recognise this new GC account ID.
    What am I doing wrong??!!

    Try these things.
    Go to Settings > Game Center. Tap your Apple ID to sign out, then sign back in.  Restart your iPhone.
    Source: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
    If you are having difficulty logging in to Game Center or staying connected
    Verify that you are connected to the Internet.
    If you are unable to create or sign in to your Game Center account from within a game, try creating or signing in to your account using the Game Center app.
    Try signing out of your Game Center account, then sign back in. If you can't sign in to your Game Center account with an Apple ID, try resetting your password or using another email address. To manage your Apple ID account, go to My Apple ID.
    When using a Wi-Fi connection, verify that your Wi-Fi router is configured for Game Center.
    If you are having an issue with a particular Game Center game
    Ensure that you have the latest version of the game. Check for updates by opening App Store and tapping or clicking Updates.
    Test your connection using a different game. If you can't connect with a specific friend or player in multiple games, they may need to check their Wi-Fi connection and router settings.
    On iOS, try opening the game from the Home screen, rather than from within Game Center.
    If you are unable to create or sign in to your Game Center account from within a game, try creating or signing in to your account using the Game Center app.
    If the issue persists, or certain features of a game aren't working as expected (leaderboards, achievements, and so on), use the App Store to report the problem to the developer.
    Report an issue with a Game Center game
    Tap or click the app support link, located on the right of the app's information page in the App Store, beside the app name and description.
    Use the developer-provided support website and resources to investigate known app issues or report your app experience.

  • Anyone else having a hard time logging into synch accts?

    Okay so for a few weeks now, im unable to use mobile to log into walmart and amazon accts. it always says the network connection is lost, even though no other pages have that problem, wifi or 3g is strong. Happens on both. And when i go through desktop, it always says:
    We're Sorry.
    Our system is having technical difficulty retrieving your information. Please try again later.
    I have to do it like 3-4 times before it finally works. Annoying to say the least. I figured it was technical difficulties and would be fine in a week or two, but its still happening.

    It happens =/  Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling will fix it. I didnt have it happen with my synch cards but it happen with my Chase and Discover, one fixed with a reinstall, the other fixed with the next update. (After a few weeks)

  • Problem logging into account

    So I'm having difficulty with logging into my account. I get to the stage where it prompts for a mobile number entry. I enter my mobile number (the mobile I'm using which is on EE) and it says: To continue, please correct the following:We can't find a mobile number for this account. Please associate one with it Then it prompts me to add a phone number and, when I click next, it says: To continue, please correct the following:We can't find a mobile number for this account. Please associate one with it And so on, and so on, and so on, and so on. I need to access my account to pay my bill but I can't pay my bill because I can't access my account because it won't accept the phone number because it's not associated with my account.... HELP

    This seems mostly a network issue but not the problem of Office client or Office 365 account.
    Try to disable your local firewall/anti-virus programs to check the result.
    Try to reset the IE setting to default if this is not caused by security programs.
    Open Internet Explorer, go to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Reset Button.

  • I can't log into the app store

    For some reason, my iPhone 5C won't log into the App Store. I am currently running 8.3. I scroll to the bottom of the App Store to sign in, type my information in, then click sign in. The App store will go back to how it was; unchanged. It still says Sign In at the bottom. How do I fix this?

  • Couldn't log into SAP System (message 00264) after SAP_BASIS update

    Hello,
    we performed SAP_BASIS update to SAPKB70023 and get a problem with logon into a SAP system with message 00264 (Status &2 of the user interface &1 missing).
    We have a 64-bit non-Unicode system on Solaris/SPARC/Oracle and Kernel level 333.
    We tried to import MENUSYST program from note 1285869, but nothing happened at all. The parameter abap/unicode_check we set to "on" but this didn't help us.
    So after selecting system record in SAP Logon now we get the initial logon screen with no "new password" button and error 00264 (Status 0020 of the user interface SAPMSYST missing.) and couldn't log into the system.
    We have no idea why correct and existing statuses are not working.
    Please suggest us what to do to fix this problem.
    Thanks in advance!

  • HT2623 I forgot the password for my .mac account and cannot log into it from Apple Mail.  I have an iCloud mail account but did not convert my .mac account to iCloud.  How can I log into my .mac or .me email?

    I set up .mac, including email, around 2006.  I believe my .mac account became a .me account, but I continued to receive email sent to .mac until about March 2013. 
    I accessed my .mac account using Apple Mail on an iMac running OS X 4.11.  I'm still using that machine.
    In July 2013, I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X 8.5, bought an iPod Touch and set up an iCloud account.
    I forgot my .mac password and I want to open an email message sent to my .mac email account. 
    When I attempt to log into my .mac account using Apple Mail, my password attempts are rejected by a .me mail server.
    Is there any way I can restore my access to my .mac or .me email?
    Thanks,

  • Why do i have two game center accounts on one apple id and how do i log into the other one

    One day while i was bored i started up a game but all of my progress items and everything that i paid for was gone and it was the same in all of my other game center related apps. After a long chain of emails with the maker of the game he stopped being helpful but we figured out that i have two game center accounts but only one apple id. So how do i log into the account with all of my data?

    Get a separate Apple ID for one of the phones. Or turn OFF iCloud contacts synching on the one you do not want contacts to synch.
    Settings>>iCloud
