Gmail keeps asking for password after iOS5 Upgrade
I have an iPhone 4 that I upgraded to iOS 5 last night. It now keeps asking me for my Gmail password.
This isssue is already under discussion here - http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=7059ec7762111ada&hl=en
I've deleted my Gmail account and tried to add it back, yet it keeps giving me the bad password error. I've reset my password on Google mail and issue persists even when trying to use new password. Any ideas?
Corbin
So I removed the buggy GMail account from Mail and waited a day. Today I decided to re-add it and all was well for one hour until the pop up for passwords happened again... I went into Preferences and accounts and saw my password wasn't stored so I added it and saved but still same issue.
Also I added this account to my iPhone and it was working fine til an hour again so maybe a syncing issue?

Ipad keeps asking for password after I enter it on WIFI?
So I just updated, OOPS! I now can't connect to wifi or anything that asks for a password it seems because the prompt to enter password keeps popping up as if I didn't just type it in.
Some ISPs refuse connection attempts if they are too frequent, or limit the number of simultaneous connections that are allowed from the same IP address, or the account may have become full, or there might be a problem with the network, or there might be a problem with the server...
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
What’s the time interval chosen in Mail > Preferences > General > Check for New Mail? If it’s set to Every minute, try changing it to Every 5 minutes. -
GMail keeps asking for password when other accounts are fine
Currently I am running 4 IMAP and 1 Exchange account on Mail. I am trying to add a fifth IMAP GMail account but can't get past the setup screen as it keeps saying my password is wrong when it clearly is correct.
How can I get IMAP running again and correctly on Mail?

Keeps asking for password after I have logged in--Why?
I keep my Mail program on all of the time. But several times per day it will ask me to log in with PW. If I ignore this and cancel, then tell it to go on line with all mail addresses it works fine for some time. Then it starts over with asking for PW. I have DSL and am on line 24/7.

Trying to buy, download songs on iTunes and keeps asking for password for the account. Entering the password correctly but it keeps asking for password. Have downloaded hundreds of songs before, first time this has happend. Why?
Thanks.Hi, Trex8.
There are a couple things that you can try to resolve this issue. First, I would recommend processing any updates needed to the computer and iTunes. You can check for updates in iTunes by selecting the help menu and check for updates. If iTunes is on the current version, see the article below.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Make sure to test the results after each troubleshooting step processed.

Mail keeps asking for passwords; incoming server in iCloud is dimmed, not available
Mail on all accounts (iCloud, gmail and comcast) keeps asking for passwords; many Internet sites that used to be filled in from Safari are blank and require password. In Mail accounts, the incoming server for MobileMe/iCloud is dimmed. I can check mail on the Internet but it's kinda handy to have it delivered to the iMac. What's up?
Got the axect same problem. HELP!!! Using me.com still tho. But I want to use mail again!!!
UPDATE!!!
Okay, it is working now. I removed my account in Mail and upgraded to iCloud. Now it is working. -
Phone keeps asking for password on an Apple ID I never created. On my sons phone, it keeps asking for his password for a supposed Apple ID I NEVER CREATED! I've tried every combination of passwords I can imagine and every route I can think of. It won't let me delete the account until I can sign in with that password. Somehow, the find my iPhone has created a loop that won't let me do anything after loading ios7. It won't even let me delete all contents or settings without the password! When I ask for it to reset my password, no email comes.... I don't know what to do! Please help
Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out of the account from your iOS device first, then sign back using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID) -
my hotmail account will not open. keeps asking for password but will not accept the password when i enter it. its the correct passwrd?
Hello Duncan,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Mail on your Mac. I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
If you entered the correct password in the password dialog in Mail, but continue to be asked for your password, try these solutions.
Open Keychain Access, then locate and delete the mail account password item.
Open Disk Utility, select the volume (for your hard disk or disks) in the list, click First Aid, then Verify Disk. After you’ve verified (and repaired, if necessary) the disk, try sending yourself a message.

not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari
okay well they got me to take out some .plist files to see if that would help it didn't. I'm not sure what ones that they deleted for my self maybe someone here would be abel to tell you what ones to take out but didn't work the one that came close to working was this going into keychain and deleting the account(s) then reading them again.
if you are to do this please back up first with Time Machine. You can do this with a usb drive.
Okay so go back to where you had internet accounts and make sure mail is shut. click the - on the account your having problems with then quit system preferences.
Okay so then press cmd and space bar at the same time then type 'keychain access' into the search then click on 'keychain access'
once it is open go to the top of the window and put your email address that you are having problems with.
once you have put in your full email, have a look at what comes up i deleted things in the kind colome with 'internet password' and anything with under name that had smtp.gmail.com or imap.gmail.com so it would look like this, map.gmail.com - internet password.
right click and delete them. make sure not to touch any other files that dont say them things on them.
Once you have done this quit keychain access and then restart the computer, once the computer is restarted go back to system preferences and internet accounts and re-add the account.
Hope this helps. if something is not clear just ask. -

Please first check if Logon network security under More Settings on the Microsoft Exchange

Hi Gavin229,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you have changed your AppleID information or password, you will need to sign out of your existing iCloud or iTunes Store accounts and sign back in with the new information.
The articles below will explain this in more detail ...
