First log on - password rejected

Hey!
I installed my new imac and transferred over my files from my pc using the migration software.
It picked up my profile but at the password box, it just won'tt accept my pc password.
Any ideas what to do? I can't even change my password becasue it wouldn't accept my old one???
Thanks for your help...
regards
Wayne

Wayne,
You have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support, this is the perfect time to use it. The number is in your owners manual. Also if you are not familiar with AppleCare it extends the warranty to 3 years from the date of purchase and also covers 3 years of telephone support. I'd strongly recommend it, I found it invaluable when I switched from PC's to OS X. Finally I would strongly recommend looking over Lion Setup Assistant tips to see if you missed something, it's possible you simply misunderstood something.
If you are new to OS X as I'm guessing you are then I'd also recommend book marking and using the following links:

User change password after first logging in Oracle 11g

Hi
Can you help someone in connection with this problem:
user can not change password after first logging in Oracle 11g
All the best
Ragip Avdijaj

Sounds like they are not getting logged in at all, so they are never getting to the point where they can change the password, but we need to see more detail to give a better answer (an example or copy-paste of a sqlplus session might help)

I use free Yahoo mail webMail access because folders I created in webmail access doesn't get set up in Apple Mail. While I was searching for post about password and keychain issues, I stumbled on several threads that complain about Mail folder issues, so I'm holding off on Apple Mail.
On the password and keychain issue that your post is all about. I've been using login keychain to save and automatical fill my login screens for a year or so successfully, with Safari and Chrome. Automatic form fill also works for Facebook login. Unfortunately, about 4 to 6 months ago, automatic password form fill stopped working with Yahoo webmail, while still worked for GMail (Safari and Chrome). I tried deleting the password entry for my two Yahoo email accounts to start fresh, but neither Safari not Chrome will even ask me if I want to save the password. I was so frustrated that I eventually installed the keypassX 0.43 (password manager) that is quite primitive sompare to OS X's keychain (when it works). Probably no surprise to you yet.
The surprise, to me at least, is that, for whatever reason, password auto form-fill from keychain started working again for Yahoo webmail login on Safari about 5-7 days ago. Still doesn't work on Chrome!
Two tips I can share, at least with webmail access:
1. Password is save only for one of my yahoo mail accounts. When I login in with my other yahoo account, I get no prompt to save the password, and form fill doesn't work when I try to log in a second time with my other Yahoo mail account.
2. On inspection of my login keychain, I see a webform password item saved for my Yahoo account that works with keychain. The name of the password is: login.yahoo.com(MyAccountName1#). When I open the password item and look in the Access Control tab, I see Safari and Chome are listed as allowed to access this password item..
I also an "Internet password" item with a name of just login.yahoo.com. When I open the the password item, it looks just like the password item created for MyAccountName#1, but the MyAccountName#2 is listed in the Account field. Inside the Access Control tab, no apps are listed in access permission. I added Safari and Chrome to the lists of allowed app, saved the password item.
Now when I bring up the Yahoo login page(by bookmark) on Safari, form fill fills in MyAccountname#1 for name and the proper password and I can login in. When I change the name to MyAccountName#2, the correct password is retrieved and I can log in! Alas, it still doesn't work on Chrome.
BTW, I changed the password item type from "Internet password" to "Web Form password" and saw no difference! I also edited the name to be "login.yahoo.com (MyAccountName#2)" to look like the web form password item that works, but it has no effect either.
From my experimentation, here's my observation:
1. A Web Form password item is created for the first account name(MyAccountName#1) for login.yahoo.com and typed as Web Form password. When I log in using MyAccountName#2, an Internet Password is created, but no applications are listed as allowed to access the password item, even when the password item was created after just logged in and logged out to yahoo with the account name and password for MyAccountName#2.
2. Manually adding Safari as an app that is allowed to use the password item works. Doesn't work with Chrome!
The version of Safari I'm using is Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). My installed version of Chrome is Version 21.0.1180.79 beta.

Email password rejection

With extraordinary arrogance BT have closed a thread again before a problem has been solved. A considerable number of customers have been suffering for some years with perfectly valid passwords being rejected by BT Yahoo email servers. Some of us have been fobbed off with fatuous replies from all levels of support along the lines of - it is your fault, your email client is at fault, you are accessing your mail through multiple devices and so on.
The following thread (started July 2011) has been closed by a "Moderator" and I quote from his post
"Since this migration work was done we have completed extensive testing and no further issues with POP or IMAP have been found."
http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/E-mail-password-rejection/m-p/234061/highlight/true#M638...
Thread closed - problem solved. But it isnt, the same old thing is happening again this morning. BT is right and the customer is always wrong.

I guess we just have to keep starting a new thread! I emailed the mods after yesterday's closure saying I am still having problems, this is the third time of emailing them, they did answer my first one asking for more info but nothing since then. The pop ups are dreadful and if I don't close outlook I have to keep watching the screen if I am typing as my typing ends up in the password box of the pop up!!! The main irritation is that it affects my smartphone so when I am out on the move I cannot keep up with emails as they don't come through, the irritating password incorrect message comes up!!!. When they do (after logging onto btyahoo) we get all of them again. No probs with iPad. I want to ring BT but seems everyone has tried this so many times without success. It's such a shame, I don't want to leave BT, I have been with them since I ever had the Internet but this does make you start looking at other companies.

Email password rejection trouble

On behalf of my mother!
Clients: iMail, iPhone iMail (set to Push)
Protocol: IMAP
At first it was just the desktop Mail which rejected the password, now however it is both. I have logged into the Yahoo mail web application, which works fine. I also changed the password, however neither client works.
I am now aware that this used to be a fairly major problem (http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/E-mail-password-rejection/td-p/234061/page/68) but that thread was locked months ago and this is a recent problem.
Suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

Hi CraigS,
I was surprised by your reply to BedeH as I have this afternoon been speaking to BT Yahoo tech support about the same or a similar problem who told me that rejecting passwords was still an open known fault that was being worked on.
My problem is running outlook 2010 under Windows 7 with 3 Btinternet email accounts. About twice a day apparently randomly Outlook will pop up on just 1 of the 3 accounts saying the server has rejected my password and to reenter it. No matter what I enter it will not accept it. The BT Help program will eventually tell me the password is incorrect and give up. The work around I have been using for over 6 months is simply to login to my web based BTinternet account and immediately Outlook starts working again simply by clicking the pop box to retry. This is a frustrating pain and hence my follow up call to the Help desk.
I do have an iphone and an ipad both of which can access my mail but neither are set to "push".
I would appreciate knowing whether you (BT?) recognise this as an open problem or whether I was just being fobbed off.
Thanks John

HT4889 Transferred files via time machine and not log in password will not allow me to log in

I have a new MacBook pro, I transferred files via time machine and a removable hard drive. Now new MacBook does not recognize the log in password. What can I do to reset the password?

Did you migrate when you first booted up in Setup Assistant or did you migrate later? When you migrate later it can create a second account, check in Mac HD/Users to see if this is the situation.

POP Password Rejection - again

Whilst retrieving email from my POP3 account in 'Mail', the password is being 'rejected' almost continually. I have retyped the password in the preferences tab, and sometimes it is accepted, but more often not.
Any ideas?

"Sometimes" makes me think that the issue could be on server side. I suggest to prove first, that the password you use is really correct.
Open a terminal window and type in "telnet xxx pop3" and press enter (replace "xxx" with the full qualified domain name of your pop3 server). You should get a greeting from your POP3-server.
Next type in "user yourusername" and press enter (replace "yourusername" with your POP3-username). And don't worry, if you do not see what you type.
Next type in "pass yourpassword" and press enter (replace "yourpassword" with your POP3-password).
Take a look at the first character of the response: a "+" accepted the password, a "-" not.

Until April 2012 there were enough threads on password rejection to knit a large sweater but then the moderator closed the forum saying all was well. It isn't. I have been unable to access my bt mail since March except by logging on to webmail after which macmail behaves correctly for about 1 hour. Wasted £30 on a premium BT help service on this matter. Very nice guy but perplexed! This issue is not dead. I had the same issue with my iphone which was resolved in an Apple store. Is there now a fix for this utterly irritating situation? It does BT no credit whatsoever. Any chance of reclaiming my lost hours and £30? I think I know the answer to that one.

E-mail password rejection on Mac

I am adding my experience to the long list, just so that BT knows the problem is widespread and continuing. Yesterday and today, so far, I suddenly lost my BT Yahoo mail on my Mac with the now common password rejected message. I have no time to fix it so will use webmail meantime, but it just hammers another nail in the BT coffin.

"Password rejected" revisited - again

Greetings. I have been getting the "password rejected" alert when trying to receive from a web-based POP3 email account "macmail.com" for a couple of weeks. (OS X 10.3.9; Apple Mail 1.3.1. SBC Yahoo! DSL is my ISP.) I have also tried several other email clients (CE QuickMail. GNUMail. Entourage). They all also reject my password. I can access my mail at www.macmail.com, or through www.mail2web.com.
I did a quick "telnet" session in Terminal this morning. Here are the results (with personal info x'ed out):
Last login: Fri Jan 6 20:41:11 on console

Can anyone tell me what is happening?
The real kicker to all of this is that GyazMail WILL!!! retrieve my email from "macmail.com" without even breathing hard, and with an identical setup as all of the other email clients. Also, my "sbcglobal" POP accounts work fine. I sent an email to the folks at macmail.com, but have received no response.

Baron,
GyazMail gave up the ghost this morning. I emailed Goichi Hirakawa to see if he could make sense of the problem, He suggested holding down "Shift-Option" while I clicked the Send-Receive button, which would generate a Console log to compare with the telnet session log. As soon as I did that, I got the same "ERR Authorization failed" message that every other email client I've tried produces; and I cannot find a Console log either. The condition persists even after a complete uninstall-reinstall. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to use the web-based MacMail interface to retrieve my MacMail. (Have you seen this site? - http://www.mail2web.com/ )
I think MacMail is maintained by "robots". I've gotten no response from them at all. I think I too may let those addresses lapse. Fortunately, I don't have too many important contacts at Macmail.

How do I restore an ipod touch to factory settings when it tells me I have to first log out of find my ipod

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Power Mac G5 Dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Using Tiger Server, I have found that enabling ACLs, or Access Control Lists on the volume, and then specifying users and/or groups into the specific ACLs for the share point has been very helpful. Also note that 10.4.10 server seems to work better than 10.4.11, so if you haven't upgraded, don't go beyond 10.4.10. .11 seems to have some permissions issues and other problems.
I assume you are connecting to the server via AFS (i.e. Go > Connect to Server > ip address) and not SMB? SMB sometimes is more problematic about ownership. But either way, Mac or PC clients, it seems ACLs are the way to go.
Crazy as it seems, on my server, even if the owner is, say, admin, and the group with r/w permissions is, say, Prepress, it helps to specifically add the Prepress group to the ACL for that share. Then be sure to propagate the permissions down (unless you don't want to, for some reason). To do this, click the little gear icon and propagate all the permissions -- owner, group, acl, etc. down. This will take a bit of time depending on how much stuff you have. I also find that a server reboot can be helpful.
[[ All this said, 10.5.1 seems to do some crazy things, and I hope 10.5.2 addresses them. I have one machine (not user ID) that always creates a folder on a share with no permissions for anyone. Only from that Mac; the same login on another works just fine. Go figure]]
