"Enter the Yahoo! password for [my yahoo email address]" keeps popping up on my Mac desktop
A pop-up window "Enter the Yahoo! password for [my yahoo email address]" keeps popping up on my Mac desktop (Leopard OS) every few hours. This has happened for the past year and only happens on my MacPro desktop, never on other laptops/computer. Does anyone have solution please ?
Ok !! I think I finally found the trouble of this !! I went crazy that every 5 seconds I had to fill in my password for my yahoo account om Apple Mail. My computer is in another language so I'll try to translate as good as possible the buttons and so ..
So these are the steps required:
You need to give computer access to the password of Yahoo.com. How to do so ?
You go to the application "Key Chain" that is included in your MacBook Pro.
Then you go to the first tab that should say something with "Login/Session" and you should see all your saved passwords.
Scroll down to the saved password of "Yahoo: your-username @ ...
Click on it, you should see a window opening
Go to the tab "Access Control"
Then click on "Allow all applications to connect .. ", NOT the option "Ask every time for allowance" or you can also just add the program "MAIL" with the "+" icon !!
There you go, now you should not have to worry again !!!!!!
Hope it helps people !!!

I recently changed my apple ID to my new email address. On my iPhone 4 I am trying to update apps and it asks me for my apple ID password for my old email address. How do I change to my new email address?
Did you change the Apple ID primary email to another email address or did you create a whole new Apple ID?
Go to settings>itunes & app store and if it shows your old apple id at the top then tap on it then sign out and then sign in with your new apple id email. -
How do I remove an email address that is no longer vaild for the iTunes Store or my iPhone? A really old email address keeps popping up on my iPhone, the email address is not valid and I have no idea what the password was. It's been over two years.
Hello tcnolen1,
It sounds like you are trying to change the Apple ID logged into the iTunes & App Stores on your iPhone. Use these steps:
Changing your Apple ID account
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.

I entered the incorrect password for my home wifi network, and now I can't change it. How do I clear out the wrong password so that I can enter a correct one?
Settings > wi-fi then tap on the little blue arrow next to the network you want to change. You have to tap on the blue arrow and not on the name.
Now at the top tap on "forget this network".
After that, the iPhone will think your home network is a new network and will ask you for the password to connect. -
Apple asking me security questions that ive never set up and i can't purchase anything, and ive tried resetting them but i can't remember the password for my rescue email address, please help?
You need to either reset the rescue email address's password(check the site's help for instructions) or ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

Forgot my Apple ID password for my OLD email address? HELP
Soo, I'm trying to get started on my iPhone 6 set up and it's ground to a hault as it wants to know the password to my OLD email address which I do not remember. i need this to carry on with my iPhone set up. I'm aware their is a password reminder for my current email address however not for an old email password. I have no way of finding out as it was solo long ago now. Please advise!
What are you actually needing to do? If the issue is Restoring your Backup from an iCloud Account, then yes you would need your Apple ID and Password at minimum. If you are just adding your email to the iPhone 6 then you would need your current email Account ID and Password. Sounds more like an Apple ID Issue.

I have iPad 2 and recently changed my Internet Service Provider and email address. When I switch on the iPad I am asked for my password for
my previous providerwhich when entered is not acceptable. I am told to create a new passord but this only changes the password for my current
address. I am now unable to access iPad and I need to know how to circumvent this.Roger, thank you. I wish I had sent out this question a month ago, when I committed the folly of creating another apple id with my alternate email address. Since then, I had realized that I didn't seem to need it, hence today's post.
So now what do I do? Is there anyway to delete that unecessary apple id?
And it is even worse than that...the secondary address listed currently in our apple id is a mobile me one that my husband created, but never uses, never checks, and probably doesn't even remember the password for. -
I have iphone4s with the operating system of 8.1. I changed my email address which was used to register my iphone due to hijacking. I am able to read all my emails using the new address. However, I can not download apps as it keep asking me to provide the password for the original registered email address. I do not have the access to the email address, so I can not retreive the password. I want to clear this mess by resetting everything, and register my current email address as the only one to communicate on my iphone. Please teach me how?
settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.

Does not happen on other browsers
You have probably set up Firefox with a master password because you're using "Remember Passwords for Sites" option. To change the master password or to disable this option, you can do so as follows:
* Go to \Options\Options (using the Firefox favicon);
* Go to Security tab;
* Under the Passwords section make necessary changes.
To disable the master password, uncheck "Use a Master Password".
To change the master password, "Change Master Password" button.
Alternatively, you may be using a security software (like I use Norton 360) and use the password management functionality with a master password which you will have to manage from that particular software or via the appropriate add-on.

I want to use the same name for my icloud email address as my .mac name
My name for all of my yahoo, gmail, .mac email accounts are al the same. I'd like to use the same name for my icloud account. It tells me that the name is not available but I'm pretty sure no one else would have chosen it. Is the fact that I've used it for my .mac email address somehow blocking it's availability? Please help. Thanks.
There is some confusion in my mind about your post. Let me describe what I think you mean, let us know if I misunderstood...
I'm assuming you already have an Apple ID that you used to define an iCloud account (or an older dot mac account), and the iCloud account has "[email protected]" as its email address. But the Apple ID for this account is not the same as the email address I just listed, perhaps your apple ID is something like "xyz@???.com" and what you want is to use the ID, "mySpecialName@???.com". [the "???" could be mac, icloud, or something else]
If I've got it right so far, then when creating a **new** Apple ID, you must now use @icloud.com. If you are trying to define "[email protected]", then that is the problem - "mySpecialName" is already associated with @icloud.com, because your current @mac.com also has [email protected] as an alias, so that name is no longer available.
Also, you cannot change the current ID from "xyz" to "mySpecialName" on an existing account. So either way, you can't get the ID that you desire.
Let us know if this is not what you mean. -
Passwords for non-existent email addresses?
Just changed computers and now can't transfer some apps that were bought on a different Apple ID and can't remember the password. Can't get the password resent as they want to send it to an email address that no longer exists? How can I get the password? How can I get those apps onto my computer?
It all depends on your setup.
If you use only local mail domains, just make sure you do not have a catchall address (luser_relay) and messages to unknown users will not be accepted by Postfix in the first place.
If you use virtual mail domain, you will need to change your setup as Apple's default setup will always accept mail for unknown users and then bounce it back to sender. See here for a how to: Making Virtual Mail Users in OS X 10.4/10.5 Server

HT204053 How do I reset a password for an inactive email address (Apple ID)
I have forgotten the password associated with my iCloud Apple ID. The email associated with that account was deactivated by the ISP over a year ago. All of the security questions were either never answered, or are wrong (including my date of birth!!). How can I get into my account? There doesn't seem to be a way in this situation.
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do. -
I need help to delete my icloud account from my iPad. It has "Find my iPad" on it and won't let me delete without the old password. I don't want to reset password as it will require reset of Mac Book Pro and 2 iphones. Help appreciated.

Your description of the problem is a bit confusing. Do you have ONLY ONE Apple ID or do you have MORE THAN ONE? -
My old email address keeps popping up for my iCloud and I cannot get it to stop
How come when I made an email change for iCloud, it keeps wanting to go back to my old email and password and says that my new one isn't correct?
