Dumb mistake, now mail won't recognize password

I'm a Verizon DSL customer and use my Apple Mail.app for all my mail. I just was on the Verizon site updating some personal info and saw there was an upgrade for a Verizon/Yahoo deal. I did the upgrade but, like many companies, their set up was not working correctly with my Imac (G4 Imac - 3 years old). After going through the whole set up process and not liking the results, I discontinued the upgrade. It had linked my Verizon account to my Yahoo account. I reverted back by unlinking Verizon from Yahoo on the web based account management page (Verizons page). BUT NOW MY MAIL.APP WON'T RECOGNIZE MY PASSWORD! I didn't change my password! The prompt says:
"The SMTP server “outgoing.verizon.net” rejected the password for user “(my name)”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
I've already tried going into my account and typing in my password but it's being stubborn and won't accept it as the correct password!! What happened and what can I do to fix this?

Thanks Allan but I tried many times deleting and re-entering my SMPT, no luck. It's funny, I've always been able to access my e-mail on Verizon's web based site, it's the same e-mail that's accessible by my Mail.app. I logged into my web based Verizon mail with my same log-in information that is saved in my Mail.app. I was able to log-in everytime, so my password is still being accepted by Verizon's web based mail. I have a sub account in my Apple Mail.app with different user name but same password and IT IS RECEIVING AND SENDING MAIL. That should be a big clue to those of you who know more about this than me...lol!

Hello solarkey,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with logging into FaceTime after updating your Apple ID password.
First, I recommend toggling FaceTime off and then back on:
Toggle FaceTime off and on in FaceTime > Preferences.
Additionally, you can click on your Apple ID in FaceTime > Preferences to sign out and sign in with your new password if you have not entered your new password.

Just set up icloud and now mail won't...

I just set up icloud on my mac and now my mail won't recognize my password. Formerly, on mobileme i had the main computer which was pre-intel so now I'm switching to my intel mac. Everything is fine on cloud, all the data is there, but on my computers (intel computer and also pre-intel) when I try to check my mail it keeps saying that it doesn't recognize the password. I get mail fine on my iphone, and when I log into icloud but not on my computers (pre-intel or intel).

It's because you are using Leopard. You will need to either upgrade your Mac to Snow Leopard then Lion or manually set up mail on your Mac in Mac Mail. http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html is a link to a tutorial online on how to set up your mail manually on your Mac. MobileMe is offering a free upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard. The link is me.com/snow-leopard. You can redeem a free disc to get your Mac to Snow Leopard, you will have to pay for the upgrade to Lion yourself though.

Updated iTunes to 10.3.1 and now it won't recognize my iPod

I recently updated my iTunes to the latest version, and now it won't recognize any of my apple products. I have a first gen iPod touch, 4th gen. ipod nano and 5th gen. ipod nano. The ipod does work still, and is chargeable through a dock or a AC adapter. I've gone through all of the five Rs and reinstalled itunes, and nothing is working. My ipod won't show up in windows either. When I plug in my 5th gen nano, windows says the driver did not install sucessfully and itunes won't even acknowledge I've plugged it in. Any help would be fantastic, I'd really appreciate it. I put new music on my ipod all the time, and not being able to do so *****.

Well yesterday I finally broke down and called apple service... I spent $29 and 1.5 hours on the phone, but the operator was finally able to fix my ipod. There was an issue with the itunes update, and it had corrupted. After uninstalling, installing, and updating several drivers, programs, and resolving other issues, my iPod finally works. Even better, the operator gave me a way to contact him again if I am having issues, free of charge. I would have much rather fixed this myself without spending the additional money, but I'll admit there was no way I could've done what he did, as there were certain orders to uninstalling Apple programs. My advice? Bite the bullet and call. They will get your iPad working again. (:

My new iPad is synced with iTunes but now it won't recognize my iPod nano. How do I get it to recognize both? iTunes synced with my Nano just fine until I added the iPad.

It has been shown there are problems with the latest update of iTunes and Windows computers. What you need to do is remove and reinstall iTunes, and make sure that you follow the steps in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923. If you do not follow them exactly, you will just compound your problems. Once you do this, you should have no trouble having the phone recognized in iTunes.

I updated my iphone3gs to iOS5.0.1 and now it won't recognize my simcard.

I updated my Iphone3gs to iOS5.0.1 and now it won't recognize my SIM card. After updating, my phone went off and when I opened it,this message appeared; "SIM NOT VALID. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to recieve a replacement SIM." I can't do anything with my phone! How do I get it to change back to normal? BTW, I don't if this helps, but I'm from the Philippines and my sim card is Smart.

Just upgraded macbook to Snow Leopard, and now itunes won't recognize my iphone. I tried turning all off, and on. I have the newest version of itunes. Will I have to reset my iphone (and also ipod touch?), and if so, does it mean I lose anything?

I just upgraded macbook to SnowLeopard 10.6.3 and now itunes won't recognize my iphone. I tried turning everything off and restarting. I have the latest version of itunes. If I have to reset the phone (and ipod touch), what does that mean? Will I lose anything? How long will it take? thanks

Start iTunes. Make sure you really are running the version you think you are. Sometimes people end up with two copies, different versions.

Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2311 - read section on Opening iTunes for information about running multiple copies of iTunes.
You say you are running Snow Leopard 10.6.3. That version will not run the latest iTunes which requires 10.6.8 If you need iTunes 10.7 you have to be running 10.6.8

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
