Getting an odd CalDAV password prompt? Mine was linked to Yahoo password change

     Today I couldn't send mail via the iPad. Instead of alterting me that the password was wrong, it told me that my current outgoing server was wrong. It identified the current server as something like
                    apple.yahoo.smtp.    yada yada
and said I should change it or set up a new one. Why in the world Apple was getting involved in a Yahoo outgoing mail server was beyond me.
     Still, I went into setting, mail to check on the server account settings and then got another bizarre, unexpected prompt requesting a password for CalDAV!! Not knowing what that was, I cancelled, but it was a bit unsettling!
     After rummaging here, I discovered that the CalDAV message is related to calendar synching-- something I don't do, which added to the mystery. For some reason, that message can occur when a mail password is missing or has been changed.
      It then dawned on me that, in light of all the news about Yahoo, AOL, and GMail password hacking, I had changed the Yahoo mail password yesterday via the Yahoo web site. That must have blanked out the password on the iPad.
      Two strikes on Apple on this! Suggesting that the server name itself was wrong and then asking for CalDAV password is not user-friendly. Poor programming design, especially as many of us do NO calendar synching. It should simply tell the user that the password is wrong, needs changing, and then prompt for the missing password. (Or, do the usual-- name or password is incorrect.)
      So, as Drkreis pointed out in another thread, the easy solution is to go under settings, Mail, to the account in question. It will show Password with the word "Required" in grey. Simply type in the new password there and you'll be all set!
     Yes, before anyone dumps on me... it is absolutely true this was all created by user-error! When you change your password for an account, you need to remember to change it on every device that is accessing that account. Still, given that we're all human, and such errors are made all the time, Apple really needs to do better in explaining what's gone wrong and providing a single, layman prompt for a fix!

Thank you for the suggestion. I did change the password; however, I generally will purchase gift cards to link to the account so that if something like this ever happened it would not be taken out of a credit card or bank account.

How to avoid password prompt in shell script for zip password protection

Hi
I am trying to set password protection to my oracle database export backup. Once the backup completed, it should compress with a password protection. Thats the plan. Initialy we were using the gzip for the compression. Then realized that there is no password protection for the gzip. Started using zip option. I tried using
zip -P <password> filename
But it was throwing below error.
-bash-3.2$ zip -P expreports REPORTS_2013FEB14.dmp
zip warning: missing end signature--probably not a zip file (did you
zip warning: remember to use binary mode when you transferred it?)
zip warning: (if you are trying to read a damaged archive try -F)
zip error: Zip file structure invalid (REPORTS_2013FEB14.dmp)
Not quite sure why.
Then I used zip -e REPORTS_2013FEB14.dmp.zip REPORTS_2013FEB14.dmp
But this prompting for the password. As I am trying to put the command in the script. It will be tough if it prompts for the password.
I would like to know how to avoid the password prompting by saving somewhere or how the code should be written. Tried using expect feature of shell script. Below was the code I tried. It didnt work.
[oracle@SF40V6636 test]$ cat repexp.sh
zip -e REPORTS_imp.log.zip REPORTS_imp.log
expect "Enter password:"
send "imprep"
expect "Verify password:"
send "imprep"
So please help in avoiding this password prompt or let me know how to change the code.
Thanks

How about using gpg and adding a secret key to the requirement of a password? No one should be able to decrypt your file, not by knowing only the password.
1. Generate a public and private key pair:
$ gpg --gen-key
When it shows "We need to generate a lot of random bytes…" open another terminal session and type "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null" to create traffic. When the public and secret key created and signed you can Ctrl-C the dd command.
To see what you have created:
$ gpg --list-keys
2. Encrypt and gzip your stuff:
$ tar zcf stuff.tgz file_or_folder
$ gpg recipient "Some Name" encrypt stuff.tgz
$ rm -f stuff.tgz
3. Decrypt and extract the archive:
$ gpg batch yes --passphrase "password" -d stuff.tgz.gpg > stuff.tgz
$ tar zxvf stuff.tgz
Again, knowing the password alone will not let anybody decrypt your stuff.

HT1529 Having problem with receiving & sending out e-mail. Imap &Smtp acct failed verify username & password I don't remember my yahoo password

We have too many passwords. Now I am not able to receive or send out e-mails. apparently the connections doctors telling me the IMAP account failed tha I had to verify username & password do not match. I don't remember the password I used as I have changed the password 4 times in the last hour and I am confused. How do I get to the area that I can check the IMAP & the SMTP password. If I changed the Apple ID password would that be the same password. My username is my yahoo address. Now do I go to yahoo.com to change that password? Unfortunately, I have to wait till next Thursday to do a one to one. That is the earliest.
I am really confuse and not good with computers. Please help.

Hi Stan,
I am not sure when this changed, I keep mine saved in the browser because I do not like to login to every site I visit. But on new test devices lately the login for the sumo site has required that I use the user name, not the email. (For you this would be just Tanker or the username that appears inthe profile)

I'm unable to access my yahoo email account using updated firefox browser, i keep getting error page when I use the mail link on yahoo pages

Since updating Firefox browser, i am unable to gain access to my yahoo email account. I can access the email with Interent Explorer with no trouble. Whenever I click on a mail link on the yahoo sites to check my mail, I get rerouted to an error page ..... "Sorry, we can't find "ca.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1". Please check the spelling of the web address." is what is said at top of page whenever I click on any mail links.

This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
You will have to access "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password. instead of the yahoo account password.

How to enable password caching( mine was disabled by accident), is this mozilla or windows ?

cant enable password caching, dont no if this is a firefox issue or windows xp

''' "... password list appeared in lower right hand corner of screen ..." '''
Firefox doesn't display preferences or passwords there. Sorry, I have no idea what that was or how to fix it.
Do you have an Firefox Addons installed, that might have provided that display?

Outlook Anywhere, NTLM, TMG, password prompt but cancels works?

I've managed to get NTLM authentication working with TMG and Exchange 2010 (Make sure you switch your Application Pool for the RPC app over to a local system!). We also run Lync.
So here is the thing. I log into a domain laptop with cached credentials and then connect to a Verizon access point. Now Lync connects automatically no password needed. Then I open Outlook which connects no problem no password needed!
Awesome that is what I wanted. Then after about 30 seconds......password prompt. If I enter the password everything is good. If I click cancel the little need password icon is displayed down at the bottom of outlook. I click on that and outlook reconnects
without me ever having to enter a password.
I have been watching the log on the TMG server and I don't see anything odd going on other than and occasional Status 64 The specified network name is no longer available error which I understand from other posts is by design.
It's not a show stopper by any means but I just don't understand what is going on here. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello,
Firstly, please test Outlook Anywhere in an internal environment:
On a internal outlook client, check on “on fast networks, connect using http first, then connect using TCP/IP”.
If the issue does not work, the issue is related to the TMG, you may need to inquiry on the TMG forum for more accurate suggestions.
Thanks,

Outlook Anywhere Password Prompts - Only on certain external networks

I am running a standalone Exchange 2007 SP3 server on Windows Server 2008. I have published Outlook Anywhere via ISA 2006. Outlook Anywhere is configured for Basic Authentication. All clients are using Windows 7 with Outlook 2007 with latest
service pack. This is not a new configuration, I have been running this for quite some time.
I have a strange issue going on. The issue is that Outlook Anywhere users receive a prompt for their username and password ONLY when they are connected to certain external networks. Users began reporting this several months back. It happens on
all mobile users that I have tested with.
Basically, what happens is a user takes their domain joined laptop out to another work site. This site is not connected to our network. The IT department of the site connects my users laptop to there network. User then starts Outlook, Outlook
connects via HTTPS as it should, down in the bottom of Outlook it shows that it is connected to Exchange. However, within usually about 30 seconds the password prompt comes up. User puts password in and clicks remember and OK, but
the password box comes right back up. Sometimes it will except the password and run for a little while but then prompt again.
If I check Outlook Connection Status it displays that connections are established via HTTPS as they should be. Latency isn't too high averaging about 150 - 300ms.
If the user clicks Cancel instead of entering their password, Outlook will continue to run and it can send and receive email. Connection status still will show connected. However, if the user opens the address book and tries to access one of our
Address lists other than the GAL, then Outlook displays a message stating the user doesn't have permission. If the user clicks need password at the bottom and then enters their password at the prompt the address book will work.
This happens at several work sites, each different networks. My first thought is some sort of firewall issue at the sites but the IT at the sites say there should be no firewall blocking going on.
I have tested probably 5-6 other wifi networks, both public and private and Outlook Anywhere works perfectly on everything but these few work sites.
I have used testexchangeconnectivity.com at the sites at it tests fine. I have cleared the cached credentials from "Manage Windows Credentials".
Any assistance is appreciated.

My husband plugged my iPhone into his computer, created an account and now when I want to add apps it asks for his password not mine. How do I get my account back? Tried plugging it into his computer again. No prompt to change account back to mine.

Hi Trishw,
At the top of the iTunes Store window, you will see who is logged into iTunes. I'm guessing from your description, that it is your husband. If it is, click on the name to display the dropdown, log him out and sign yourself back in:\

When you install iOS 7 it will ask you to Create a Passcode if you have typed anything in here this will then become your passcode and it will only accept numbers.

My Mac Mini was not sending a signal to the monitor. I powered down using the power button and now it will not start. When i power up I get a strange 2 tone sound, like a warning alarm. The fan starts, and the light comes on, but no screen

My Mac Mini was not sending a signal to the monitor. I powered down using the power button and now it will not start. When i power up I get a strange 2 tone sound, like a warning alarm. The fan starts, and the light comes on, but no screen.
I have tried with a wired USB keyboard and mouse using a single screen. Powered up with option pressed. No change.
Reset SMC no change

Run the Apple hardware test to see what it tells you. Run the extended test when prompted, which can take awhile.

TS1544 I never accepted to set up a keychain password when I was setting up my Mac. Now I'm being prompted for a password! It's rendered my Mac unusable.

I didn't accept to creat a keychain password when I was setting up my Mac, a couple of months ago. Now it's prompting me for one, & has as a consequence rendered it unusable?!

Bought new at WalMart. With initial set up it asked use existing or create new apple id. I chose create new. I don't remember if it asked there for the email address but not a password. It did ask for a birthday (they are both younger than 13). So the home screen came up. Went to settings>icloud>apple id and password. I chose get a free apple id where it said they were too young so I used my husbands and my birth years for each girl. So I still havent set a password entering the apple id's then chose forgot password entered the email and chose reset by email. I tried by security questions but it couldnt verify the birthdays. If it matters, their emails are attatched to an iPhone and an iPod but with my apple id.

How can I get rid of the annoying prompt to save a password that comes up every time I log in somewhere?

Every time I log into anything, I get a prompt in a box in the upper portion of the screen asking if I'd like to remember the password. I don't want any passwords remembered. How can I prevent the "Save password" prompt from popping up?

As of the current version, I don't believe there is a way to tell the App Store app to ignore updates. You can send Apple feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/, but in short there is nothing you can do. As long as you don't try to update the app (either pressing the update button or update all), the app should continue to work fine with your data remaining intact. It has been a while since I've tried to update an app that isn't supported (last time was under iOS 3 or 4), so I can't comment about what would happen if you did try to update it. (My best guess is it will display an alert saying it is not compatible, and leave the previous version there, but not take away the 'update' in the APp Store app updates page).

802.1X getting a password prompt

Okay something is still broken in 10.6.7 with 802.1X authentication. I sometimes never get a loging/password prompt from OSX eventhough in the user profile I have "prompt for password" checked. Just today I enabled my wireless and waited for the password/login prompt But never received one. My password is dependent on RSA token and a new number provided every minute. I figured out that my account was locked out from OSX trying my previous password and therefore incorrect. I have "prompt for password" checked so this behavoir from OSX never should have happened. After numerous tries of disabling the wireless and re-enabling and removing my user profile associated with the wireless network I am attempting to access - I finally received a password/login prompt from OSX. This process should be seamless and there should not be a lock out based on OSX sending stale password information. the auth method I am using is WPA enterprise. How can I put a recommendation to apple to get this working properly. we are on 10.6.x now - thats years of revisions and 802.1X auth is still not working well on all occassions.

It depends on where you imported your signing certificate. On Windows if you place it in the Windows Store it by default remembers the password and does not ask again. In the process of importing signing certificate into the Windows Store you can select an option to ask you the password always. If you imported your signing certificate into the Acrobat Store, you can control how often you're asked the password.
1. Go to Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Identities&Trusted Certificates->More and select Digital IDs. "Storage Mechanism" column shows you where your signing certificate is stored.
2. If it is stored as a "Digital ID file" select "Digital ID Files" and click on the file that contains your signing certificate. There is "Password Timeout" tab on the top of the right panel. When you click it it will ask you for teh password and then present several options that control how often Acrobat/Reader asks you for the password when you sign.
This is the same in Acrobat and Reader.
