Email password won't save after Yahoo hack

Opened my Mail inbox and got the wonderful mass of "MAILER @DAEMON" messages. Translation:I got hacked. I haven't had any problems with this since I changed my Yahoo/ATT password to something more complex. Now I'm being hacked again, went in to my account on my iPhone and found that it had reverted to the former password. Entered the new password, got the check marks, but it won't save--it reverts to the old password. I've tried this multiple times, I've tried rebooting multiple times, deleting the account and restoring it multiple times. Now I'm finding that my iPad has the same problem. So I am totally without mobile email now, and like so many of you this just ain't an option.

I Have a similar problem but 9 different emails have been hacked along with my iPhone. I am now on my 3rd new iPhone as Apple thinks this is the issue (I wish). it has become so bad the police dept have become involved and are bringing in the local FBI office since email hacking is a felony and 9 different accts are involved. I do have a good idea of the suspect (s) sadly not who I expected. Someone said to change my phone number to make sure they did not have it and this would help. Think it would?

Password won't save after iOS 6.1 update

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.1 and now imessage won't save my password. After the update, I kept being asked to enter my Apple ID password. Each time I would enter the password and 30 seconds later the dialog would pop up again. After entering it one time I quickly navigated to Settings and discovered that my AppleID password was missing from Messages. I entered it there and that stopped the dialog box from popping up.
Later I had to shut down and restart my phone so iTunes would recognize it. After it booted up the recurring Apple ID dialog box started popping up again.
How can I stop this from happening?

I'm unfortunately in exactly the same situation. Following update to 6.1 on my iPhone 5, I'm prompted every 10 seconds to enter my iTunes password if I re-enable iMessage logged in as my iTunes account rather than phone number.
I have not found a way to make it stop prompting so iMessage is currently not useable by me. This is quite frustrating, Apple's standards have been on a rapid decline for some time. I'm at the point now where I'm reluctant to install updates when they come out due to the frequent regressions such as this I've encountered.
If anyone has a solution, I'd love to know.

What version of iPhoto? What happens when you try?
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Passwords Won't Save. Outgoing Server Changed to GMail?

None of my three POP mail accounts work now. The password text box field won't save any passwords and I see the word for GMail something (outgoing server?) appearing here and there although I never intended or directly did anything that would put GMail as one of my Mail Accounts.
Note: I saw an older post, 4 years old, about this but thought I'd post again since it was Archived and it's "solution," rather drastic (i.e. delete Mail preferences) and even after I did that the problem continued.
I was able to use Time Machine to get my Mail preferences back and did have clear copy of Email Settings...but it seems now I'm back to Ground Zero: what's my username, password, Authentication, etc. and the old settings I have are not working.
I'm wondering if this is linked to recently trying a Safari Extension for Google Toolbar (now uninstalled)?
Whatever...I'd like my Mail back and for it to remember Passwords and have the correct outgoing server.

Two weeks later (after post, above)
I Solved the Problem - I reinstalled Mac OSX 10.6.6 (It was rather painless)
My Mail is working again. Safari now also again remembers passwords.
Also, my Aperture's Mail export also works. (Mail is no longer grayed out).

Password won"t save in account info

I have a Verizon email address that requires a password to send mail. When I enter the password under the advanced settings it will not save. the save settings option does not come up. The password is correct. it sjust won't save. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Rick

Not sure what you mean. For starters, the Preferences > Accounts > Advanced settings are for the incoming server, whereas you appear to be saying that you have sending problems. The outgoing server settings are in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings...

Email links won't open after ipad upgrade to 7.0.4, any help?

Web links in my emails won't open after ipad upgrade to ios 7.0.4, Any help with this issue would be appreciated.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Firefox won't save my Yahoo mail passwords, but Explorer will.

Firefox used to save passwords for yahoo Mail, but lately does not seem to be working. I have 2 mail accounts and passwords with Yahoo. I have read through and clicked all the things about allowing passwords to be saved but nothing is working. I do not have this problem with Explorer. If this is just something that Yahoo has done to shut out Firefox then so be it, but if there is something that can be done I would appreciate the help.
I read through other Q&A's on this, looks like a big problem all over, but many of the so-called solutions about bookmarks, etc I can't understand what to do. Many say "solved" but I do not see any solution.
 remmed out my initial temporary comment 


I initially commented
Comment from another interested user ~J99 
I do not know the answer, I asked on a Yahoo forum last week. I did try a bookmarklet. I did see another computer able to save passwords. Neither were my computers and the computers used GoogleChrome. I suspect Yahoo may have upped security at some stage. I do not have a Yahoo account myself. I also noted GoogleChrome does not use a master password so all passwords are visible.
I comment as an edit because an unanswerd question will get a faster solution. I will move this to a separate answer once someone else answers. John 
Now moving the comment to an ordinary post.
I guess in fact it may be Google Chrome that blocks the bookmarklet action. Not Yahoo.

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

System Preferences won't save after change

Hello everyone,
I am running Mac OS 10.5.8 on a Black Macbook. The problem I am having is that none my changes will save in the system preferences. For example. I change the desktop background but the background won't change. The display window in the systems preferences window will show the picture I chose, but the desktop won't.
Another example: if I turn off "spaces" in systems preferences. It will show as off in the system preferences window, but as soon as I close the system preferences window, the changes won't take affect. This seems to happen with any change to settings in the system preferences.
I have recently used both "disk warrior" and Onyx to rebuild my desktop, check my drive and everything else those applications do. But still no change.
One more hint: I deleted an application (TomTom home) from my computer a few months ago, but the old icon shows up in the Dock as a "?" after each restart. I can drag it ot the desktop and delete it, but if I restart it will always show up.
What could be wrong? Should I do a reinstall? I don't have the disks...
Thanks Mac folks!

Ok, I tried both removing the "com.apple.systempreference.plist" and restarting from both a Disk Warrior disk, and the Mac OS X Install CD 1 and doing a repair of the disk permissions. Neither of the tricks worked.
I no longer have a "com.apple.systempreference.plist" file anywhere on my computer and I still have the same problems.
So what should I do now? I have (obviously) found my original disks. I am thinking I need to do a new install of the system software? What is the process for doing that and not lose my data?
Thanks again for everybodies help.
Josh

My email/password won't work, I request a reset, re-register but no confirmatory email received

I responded to a Firefox email which resulted in my changing my theme by mistake. I wanted to change it back. That was about three hours ago. I tried to login to my account using the username, email and password I had written down for Firefox. They weren't recognised. I asked for a password reset. No email arrived on either of my email accounts. I checked the junk folders. I requested to register a new account on Firefox. I was told an email would be sent. No email has arrived. All I want to do is change the theme back to what it was because I can't read my tabs or horizontal menu items because of the colour scheme. I've read several troubleshooting suggestions but none seem to properly apply.

Which account your talking about
*Support.mozilla.org ?

Username and Password won't work after Archive & Install...?

Can someone help me out here. I had to do an Archive and install on my sisters iMac G4 this evening, for Tiger OSX. She was getting continual Kernel Panics and could not boot to her desktop even once. So I did the Archive and Intsall, but after 2.5 hours and using both Disc 1 and Disc 2 for the process (like it had asked for)...and it all finished, a welcome screen pops up after the OS launches prompting me to enter the computer name, and password. We have this information saved, and always have, but the iBook is not accepting them?? Any thoughts or suggestions on what we should do next? The options I have on this screen are (sleep, restart, shutdown, or login...with the name and password fields above) Thanks everyone. Any help would be much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Smartmediaman

I did check those options to preserve the users and network prefs. Just put in the install disc 1 and ran change password, but the only option in the drop down was for the system administrator (root), and I put in a new password, and confirmed it, then...rebooted to desktop and same window popped up prompting me to enter the computer's username and password, and still...nothing worked. Any other ideas folks? Thanks,
Smartmediaman

InDesign CC won't save after working on file and saving.

I am really getting tired of resetting the preferences in InDesign CC when it stops SAVING or SAVING AS. This occurs after working and saving on an InDesign file - then all of a sudden it will not save or save as. There is no pattern so I never know when this will happen. I called support and they suggested restarting and resetting the preferences. I have done this multiple times.
This is frustrating. I have to open my file and determine the work that I did but did not save, and do it again. What a waste of time.
I have read several forums with no other suggestions other than trashing the preferences and disabling Sync settings. I have done both of these multiple times.
Help!
