    "If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
    Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
    As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
    I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
    Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

  • I'm trying to restore a new ipod but it keeps asking me for the passwords of itunes accounts that are not mine.

    It is trying to restore my new ipod from the backup cloud, but it keeps asking me for the passwords of three different itunes accounts, two i know are my friends accounts and I don;t even know whoose the third is.  I must have some of their music on my library or something, but it won't backup without these passwords it seems.  Is there a way to get around this?  I have the music in my Itunes library and can listen to it all I want and burn it on cds but I cant get it to go on my ipod without their passwords.  Can i switch it and just have it sync to my computer and not this icloud?  My other ipod didnt ask me for these passwords when I tried to sync it.

    If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours.  You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method.  But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

    The "backup password" refers to a password you created when you elected to encrypt your iPhone's backup.  If you cannot remember the encryption password, you will not be able to access the backup.

  • At setup wizard keeps asking me for password.....

    At the setup wizard it keeps asking me for password. i have my internet connect to the router and iam able to get online from my comp. My issue is the password window i put my on password and it goes to checking computer settings and comes back to password and  i retype my password and samething.
    Please help Thanks

    Yep, I had the same thing happening. Save settings at a certain spot, and it asks for a login/pass. The solution for me was to turn off my Norton Security entirely for a few minutes to change router settings. Now the Mac laptop and Nintendo DS all connect wireless.

  • Hey there i downloaded apps using another apple id than the one am using right now and i need to update the apps they keep asking me for the old one that i dont have any more what to do please

    Hey there i downloaded apps using another apple id than the one am using right now and i need to update the apps they keep asking me for the old one that i dont have any more what to do please

    Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.
    Go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and re-set th password for the old one.
    Then, log into the app store with it and update the apps purchased with that ID.

    Moving this discussion to the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.
    Anebz I would recommend fixing the connection error preventing the applications from contacting our activation server.  You can find details on how to resolve the connection error at Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CC, CS6, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html.

  • Keeps asking me for password over and over and over!!!

    This is so annoying, I went to download new music onto my laptop which I had bought through my I pad and phone but after a little while it kept asking for my username and password, so I put it in about 5 times then it carried on ok for about 5 mins then again it asked so I must have typed it in 6 times before I got fed up and it wouldn't let me so anything else I couldn't minimise it or cancel it it just pops straight back up over and over again. In the end all I could do was uninstall the whole thing. Has anyone else had this?
    I have found lots of post regarding issues on other apple devices but can't see one for a windows laptop I run the Internet on google chrome and I deleted all the cookies still didn't help.
    I am yet to reinstall iTunes as I got too stressed out with the whole thing. And wants to check if I need to do some magic trick before I try and reinstall it.

    Hi sajakeways!

  • Outlook 2011 for Mac keeps asking me for password

    I had been using Windows Live Mail (pop 3) for years until last week; rarely, if ever had any problems downloading my mail.
    I just bought a Mac computer and am using Outlook 2011 for Mac; my operating system is Maverick (if that means anything to anyone).
    The BT tech guys suggested I set up my mail accounts as IMAP so that all mail read on the server syncs etc. with my Outlook. It all sounded great. However, ever since I installed Outlook for Mail it asks me for my password numerous times during the day (for each of my 5 email accounts)....it usually does this when the computer has been in sleep mode, i.e., when Outlook tries to download mail from the server. 
    Something else to mention is that whilst the BT tech guys set up my IMAP accounts with:  
    Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
    Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL/TLS)
    The BT Mail department (today) told me to revert back to 110 (outgoing)  and 25 (incoming) and to call the incoming and outgoing mail.btinternet.com instead of the smtp.........(I forget the rest of it now) that the tech guys set it up as.
    I've since reverted the incoming and outgoing to mail.btinternet.com but haven't changed the numbers to 110 and 25 because the BT Mail guy said "if you are able to send/receive using the 993 and 465...just leave them. And I *am* able to send/receive. The problem is more the password prompt and the message "server not recognised" or whatever it says....I can't recall the exact words.
    I phoned Apple and they of course say it is an Outlook problem; not an Apple one, though they did help me delete the mail settings in their keychain thingie so that I could put in my passwords again (all passwords are correct by the way).
    Apple did ask, however if my internet service provider are happy for me to have mail set up as IMAP; she epxlained  that it really isn'y *my* choice; it's the server people's choice. 
    My questions are therefore: 1) who/what is my server? Is it BT? My email addresses are all btinternet.com and I'm also using BT Broadband for both home and my business/office.
    I just don't understand why Outlook keeps prompting me for password so my second question is 2) does anyone know why I am being prompted for my password as often as I am? Does this have to do with IMAP settings? with Outlook? or with my Server? or possibly all of the above? and how does one identify the real issue?
    Many thanks! 

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for this-yes, eventually, I do send/receive fine, once I've poppedd my passwords in. 
    I think you are right in that BT seem to be having unique server/login issues...at least this is what I've read elsewhere too.
    Iroonically, this AM I opened my new Mac and have *not* been asked for passwords so perhaps the changes I made in the settings yesterday (keychain reset in Mac) and also changing it from smtp.....to mail.btinternet.com solved the issue...who knows? All I know is this last week I've nearly lost the will to live on more than one occasion, from the transition from PC Windows Live Mail to Outlook for Mac.

  • HT4864 problems with iCloud mail server on the mail, but it does not fix it when I put the password in, keeps asking me for password. When I go into iCloud to access it from safari, it accesses the icloud fine with my password. I have reset all the settin

    I am running os x 10.7.5, on a macbk, I have been using all the apps fine and not changed anything or run any software updates, suddenly my mail dows not think it can connect with the outgoing server for icloud and requests my password, which I give, but it repeatedly asks again and again. I have tried re-setting all the mail for icloud up again, and it thinks its ok, except the box keeps flagging up can't access outgoing server. I have checked it all a number of times, and I can access the icloud stuff including mail from http when I log in there. Anyone know why my mac will not accept my icloud password? suddenly I cannot get any icloud mail in or out, but I changed nothing. Why does it do this and why can't i fix it?

    No carrier "automatically" unlocks at end of contract - many won't do it at all, even if requested.  I don't know what your carrier's policy is since you didn't say what country you're in.
    However, if I understand you correctly, you didn't change carriers so it doesn't matter if it was unlocked or not. Try the following steps, as needed:
    1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons for at least 19 seconds until the Apple logo appears
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    3. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
    4. Replace SIM card (don't care what Telstra says)
    5. Restore phone in iTunes as new, without using a backup
    6. Take phone to Apple.

  • Mail keep asking me for passwords.  Like every 5 minutes

    I recently, a couple of months at least, have had mail demand passwords when retrieving email. I go to preferences and put in passwords and save. 5 minutes later, it asks me for passwords again. I threw out the plist preference file and recreated all accounts inputing all passwords. Ten minutes later, it asks me for passwords, again. This is getting frustrating. I am using OS X 10.4.11 and mail 2.1.3 (753.1). I have rebuilt the directory (disk warrior), repaired permissions and fsck'ed several times. I have rebuilt the keychains and am now out of things to do. Any Help?

    When you "rebuilt the keychain," did that entail selecting "keychain first aid" under the menubar in Keychain Access,or did that entail finding any and all entries related to the offending mail accounts in your keychain and deleting them outright? If you've only done one of these things, I'd try doing the other.
    BTW, are you getting your mail after each manual entry of your password, or are you unable to retrieve your mail altogether? If you are not able to retrieve your mail, then I would wonder if your password, back at the server, somehow got changed?

  • I am able to log in to Yahoo mail but it keeps asking me for my password every 2 or 3 mins

    I have Mac. Since I have updated to firefox 13.0.1 I have trouble with my yahoo mail. I am able to log in but it keeps asking me to type my password every 2 mins. the exact line is this below.
    " Sorry, your session has expired. To protect your account, you need to confirm your password periodically." I have contacted to Yahoo help but they said the firefox update problem. Would you know how to fix this problem? Thank you

    There is a very long thread here in the forum on this problem.
    One possible cause, at least on Windows, is your proxy settings. If you check this deeply buried dialog, you may be able to correct it:
    Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network
    Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change. See whether that helps.

  • In hotel w/wireless network.  ATV finds network, but does not ask me for password, so can't communicate through network.  MacBook Air, iPad and 2 iPhones connected to hotel wireless, but ATV does not ask me for the password.  Any ideas?

    I have succesfully connected a MacBook Air, an iPad and two iPhones to the wireless network in this hotel.  Apple TV can see the network and "connects" to the network, but w/o asking for password.  I expected to see a screen immediately after selecting the network that asked me for the password as did all of my other devices.  ATV did not ask me for a password.  When I go to Settings>General>Network, it shows the name of the hotel wireless network, but I can't communicate with the network.  It can't set date and time.  When I try to enter my Apple account name and password, it tells me it can't log in w/o setting date and time.
    Any ideas on how to connect to this network?

    I am having the same problem. In my hotel when I connect my laptop a screen will pop up and you have to hit the button "I Accept Terms". However I can't do that with the ATV. I called the internet provider and they said they could not help me. Any ideas? Do you think the guy just doesn't know what he can do for me? I am thinking I will call later and hope to get a different technician who might know how to help connect me.
