Enter Account Name and Password

"To use this machine for Automatic Downloads, enter your Apple ID and password."
This pop-up window appears again and again and again and again......... what happened to iTunes now? I don't want to have to keep entering my password. I've done it several times but the window always pops up. How do I get rid of this once and for all? Thanks much and merry Christmas!!
- .02 cents worth

sign in to your iTunes account; at the bottom of the account page, where it says "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading", click on the "Reset" button; sign out of your account; restart iTunes to see if you still receive the message box about using the machine for automatic downloads. Additionally, if you now go to iTunes preferences, the check boxes on the store pane will be dimmed.

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

Can't connect to WPA protected wifi. Prompt says choose a certificate OR enter account name and password? Huh

I cannot connect to wifi using my MacBook, my phone and Xbox work but there is no prompt for the WPA password and when I go to the diagnostics page it prompts me to choose a certificate or enter an account name and password? What account name are they referring to? I have entered everything I could think of; the actual connection name and password, the Internet provider login email, my MacBook account name as password... What the heck. After I try, it says connecting for awhile, then fails...

Select the network from the Airport icon drop down in the menu. Then put in the password.

ITunes constantly asking "Enter Account Name and Password"

iMac OS X 10.6.8
This is what I've done so far.
I've tried Authorizing and Deauthoring under the "Advanced" tab.
I've gone to my iTunes Store account setting and "Reset all warnings before buying and downloading".
I've tried a few other "solutions" I found online like looking for files to remove etc.
Nothing has worked.
It's anoying the heck out of me!
Can anyone lend a hand?

They need to make this one an "FAQ." There's been lots of us with this one--and lots of different threads started.
You'll find this discussed with an easy fix here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4657103#4657103
From that thread, as described, you'll be removing a file from your iTunes download folder (which is inside the iTunes music folder) called: list.plist

HT5517 I want to photo stream pix from my iMac to apple tv. When I try to enter the iCloud account name and password, the systems tells me that terms of service have changed and won't let me proceed. What's that about.

I want to photo stream pix from my iMac to apple tv. When I try to enter the iCloud account name and password, the systems tells me that terms of service have changed and won't let me proceed. What's that about?

You need to reset the password for the "old" account, and then use that to turn off iCloud. Then you will be able to sign in with your new ID.
You can reset your password at iForgot.apple.com.
If you don't know the answers to the security questions, you will need to start there.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

I have a MAC computer with Sync. Was set up under sync Beta. I have an Android phone synced to it that was synced using the pair this device function. It works perfectly. I just got a new Android Tablet and am trying to add it to my sync and it does not seem to have the pair my device function. It insists I log into my sync account. So I try it and it tells me invalid userid/password. I verify and it is the exact email address userid that shows as being my sync account on the MAC. I verify the password on the MAC and it tests out fine. Try the tablet again and invalid.. So I try to reset my password on the tablet and am told my email address/account name does not exist. I just verified it AND Synced my MAC using it!! I have my recovery Key but there is no place to input it into the tablet. There is no place on tablet to enter the link device codes. How can my account be valid and in use on two devices but invalid and nonexistant on the new one? And How do I get the New one to sync with other two?

LAN Networking / UUID error - "You may need to enter the name and password"

I'm having an issue with networking via ethernet cable. I'm connecting to Windows Vista via ethernet from my macbook pro.
Everything was going hunky dory until today when I connected and tried to copy a folder over from my desktop to a folder on my vista machine.
The error is a three tier one, as follows:
1. +"You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on the computer to change the item name "..." - stop or continue"+
2. +"The item "..." contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?" - stop or continue+
3. +"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."+
This happens with all files and folders that I try to transfer over. I have full permissions on both ends to do this and the folders have full permissions.
I've done a bit of trawling and have found out that if you goto: system prefs - accounts (click unlock) - right click on the user in question - advanced options, you can click on the "create new" button under UUID and create a new UUID digit, then restart. This works!!!!... But...
...it only works for a little while. After transferring a few folders or files accross, it comes up with the three tiered warning: "you may need to enter the name and... etc etc."
This is really annoying.
I've found my initial answers on this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1823835&tstart=45, but this issue seems to go one step further by constantly not allowing me access
Has anyone got any thoughts about what I can do? I've also tried running applejack on startup, but this doens't work either...

Actually I get some other errors as well:
"You may need to enter the name and password..."
Then I click continue...
"The item "filename" contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?"
I click continue...
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
I am copying a text file made from textedit. I have logged into the shared drive on my iMac. I get the same errors coying to my own user folder. Same account on both machines.
But it does copy a blank version of the file to the drive and adds the .txt extension to it. Then I can delete it from the share.

"You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator"

I am suddenly getting this message when I try to copy a file from my new Macbookpro to my Powerbook running 10.4.9.
"You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named "file i am trying to transfer". stop continue
I hit continue and get the error message: "The item "that I am transferring" contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?
I say continue and get the error: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient priveleges for some of the items."
My network was working fine until today. I can copy fine to all other computers on my network. But not this one.
If I initiate a transfer from the Powerbook, everything works fine.
Ideas?

I experience the exact issue between a macbook pro and an iMac.
I can access the files locally on my macbook, copy them on usb-stick, etc.
but ... when I try to copy the files to my iMac ... it fails with the sequence of questions you mentioned.
However!
I can copy whatever I like from my macbook if I use my wifes account.
So...
Imho there is a problem when the SAME account is used on both systems.
In my case, I copied my account from the macbook to the (new) iMac.
Mac OS X seems to be confused when the same accounts are used.
Does this makes sense?
All help welcome.

"You may need to enter the name and password for an admin" ....

Hi everyone!
I'm getting this error when trying to copy files over to a network drive. First, it'll pop up and say:
"You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named"
At the same time, it will create an empty file on the target drive. When I click "Continue", it asks me for my username and password, which I happily enter. At that point, it errors out and says "The operation cannot be completed because an item with the name "xyz" already exists".
I've tried repairing permissions, chmod 777'ing a file, etc. It did work for a short time (it seemed to work while I was at work, but once I arrived home, it quit working and hasn't worked since.) I've tried rebooting as well.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm really puzzled over this!
Thanks!

Actually I get some other errors as well:
"You may need to enter the name and password..."
Then I click continue...
"The item "filename" contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?"

Unable to verify account name and password

I cant seem to integrate my twitter account on my macbook, when i try to login it says "unable to verify account name and password".
Help Please???
Thank You.

Try this, it worked for me:
System Preferences --> Mail, Contacts, & Calendars --> Remove your Twitter account by clicking on the at the bottom of the left hand pane in the window.
Go to your Twitter account and under your Settings --> Apps, revoke access to OS X Integration and click 'Save'.
Return to your System Preferences where you removed your account and attempt to add the account again. After you enter your @username and password, attempt to use the app in the notification window.
It fixed the problem for me and even gave access to the OS X Integration back to my apps on my Twitter account.
Prior to this, the Mail, Contacts, & Calendars would tell me that it was 'Unable to verify account username and password'. Very frustrating.
I hope this helps you!

I can no longer use my aol on mac mail. When I set up the aol account name and password I get a message that says "Unable to verify account name or password". This is on all my Apple devices. Seems like an AOL server issue but no help from them!

I can no longer make my AOL e mail work with Mac Mail on all my devices. When I try to set up the account and put in the correct aol account and password I get the message "Unable to verify account name or password". I know the account name and password is correct as I can open the AOL e mail page on Safari. I have changed the password, and it still does not work. AOL tech support has been no help. AOL email worked for years but last week due to suspected spam activity AOL locked my AOL account. I got that straightened out but now i cannot set it up on any of my devices: Macbook Air, Ipad, I pad mini and iPhone 6 without that message. I took everything to Apple store and everything is set up correctly on my devices. AOL tech support is no help and keeps giving me different solutions and answers, none of which has worked. Any solutions out there? All my Apple Software is up to date on all my devices

Delete your Gmail account from the Mail/Contacts/Calendars settings page, and then add it back in using the new Gmail password.

Keeps asking for Select a certificate or enter a name and password for network

everytime i start my mac it asks for "Select a certificate or enter a name and password for network" and when i'll close it and reopen it, it still asks.
can somebody help with what am i suppose to do?

If you are currently showing WiFi status in the menu bar, you would see this icon:
If you see that near the top right corner, click it and choose "Join other network" from the drop down list.
If you do not see that icon, then go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar), ciick "Network", then choose "WiFi" and choose something (probably "Assist me" at the bottom) there.

I have connected a new time capsule to a dsl modem. It doesnt see the internet. Airport utility says: Disconnected. But it isnt. Internet tab shows PPPoE. Must I enter Account Name or Password? If so, where do I find them? If not, what do I do?

I have connected a new Time Capsule to a DSL modem using an ethernet cable . The modem is working fine and connected fine. But the Time Capsule doesnt seem to be talking to the modem. If I click the internet Icon in Airport Utility it shows Disconnected.If I click the Time Capsule icon and go to the internet tab it shows Connect using PPPoE. Is that what it should be? In the box below there is place for an account name and password. DO I need to filll these out and if so what do I put there--information about the Time Capsule of informationabout the Modem? And where do I find the information.
Or am I completely on the wrong track.

Thanks. The modem is a Speedtouch ST585 v6. How do I know whether it is in adsl bridge? Also this is a modem-***-router. Does that make a difference?
If you did not put it in bridge then it is not in bridge..
Connect a computer directly to the modem.. open the browser to either 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.138 (if neither of those work you will have to check the IP address your ISP has set).
BTW who is your ISP and do they allow PPPoE.. for instance most ISP in UK do not use pppoe so you have no choice but to run the 585 as a router. In which case bridge the TC
Anyway.. open the setup configuration in the Thomson and select a template that says bridge.. run through the wizard and it will then bridge the modem.
And I am using Airport Utility 6.0. How do I get the earlier version?
By reading the site link I just gave you.. downloading the utility and running it on your computer. Or simply google to 5.6 lion airport utility... that is the way I find things when I don't have the link memorised.
Finally, AIrport Utility shows a number in a red dot next to the time capsule icon, currently 2. What is that for? What does it tell us?
Firstly download the useful utility.. but the dots tell you something is wrong and preventing the TC from working.. if you open the utility it should tell you what the errors mean.. I cannot tell you what they are, but it is likely to be no internet connection and pppoe has failed.

I got an iTunes account years ago with an ID and password...them later got a mobile me and password...now I have an iPad and downloaded iCloud and I can't get my movies and tv shows on iPad because different account name and password from my mobile me.

I can't get my movies and tv shows on iPad now that I have added iCloud. The problem is that my iTunes account has different name and password from my mobile me account. Can I change my iTunes account name and password so that they will transfer to my iPad with the mobile me / iCloud account? I need to figure out how to make the two accounts one or iCloud has to be able to accept my iTunes account with years of music and movies.

Hunter of Sock Monsters thanks...I did follow your advise. I went to the iforgot site and tried answering the secret questions twice. I got the "wrong answer", so the next time I asked for an email authentication. I am still waiting. I don't know what the usual time for waiting normally is. I am still waiting for an email reply from three days ago. I'm not going to hold my breath. My ipad is out of warranty but I may have to beg for help from support? I'll wait awhile longer. Maybe there is another thing someone could come up with. I appreciate your fast reply Hunter.
