How to stop endless requests for Mail password?

My PowerBook G4 15" with OS 10.58 constantly asks for password. How do I stop this?

I was able to stop this behavior on another person's Tibook by deleting the Keychain with Keychain Access app and starting a new one. I think I also deleted the Mail accounts and started those anew. This was not a problem with an IMAP account, so everything was retained and rebuilt. Be sure to check mark any dialog that asks whether to save this password in my Keychain.
Your plan may differ if you have POP mail accounts, or an extensive Keychain with many other passwords that are hard for you to remember and reenter. You probably don't want to lose archived POP mail messages. I would certainly try to archive all mailboxes before experimenting, in case everything in Mail disappears. Better to clone your whole drive and/or a Time Machine backup (which you should do anyway). You can also try deleting Keychain entries only related to Mail, as well as the command for  Keychain First Aid.

  • How to remove continuous request for apple password?

    Thank you...do I leave Auto. Dowenloads for Music and Apps OFF?
    I would. Otherwise you may find yourself surprised with a large cellular data usage. This feature is still in beta, but is designed to automatically update all of your iOS devices, no matter where you purchase content. Me...I like controlling what gets installed on my devices & what doesn't.

  • Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop?

    Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop? It pops up every single day.

    Erica,
         I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
         I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it.  His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
         It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
         Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987. 
         I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
       For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
         Best.

  • Itunes popup on mac requesting for my password, how to turn it off?

    When I click the play button on my mac to listen to music it doesn't turn on because itunes keeps requesting for my password for automatic downloads. How do I stop this? It just started after I got my iphone.

    @ Ivmedic...    Disabling automatic downloads does not resolve this issue.  I am having the same issue. I open iTunes and get prompted for my log in info for automatic downloads, if you log in the issue returns the next time you open iTunes same as if you hit cancel. Also you actually have to go through this 2 times when opening iTunes before it stops...  Certainly a bug in the 10.5.1 (42) build.  
    Does anyone know a way of disabling it in the terminal ?

  • How can I stop being harrased for keychain passwords

    How can I stop being harassed for keychain passwords?  All my key chain passwords and my login are the same. I am asked for address book, calendar, safari, mail, iMessage, just to name a few.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
    There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • TS4006 how can i cancel request for erasing iPhone?? i pressed erase an iphone instead of lost mode or display message =( i want to cancel this operation

    how can i cancel request for erasing iPhone?? i pressed erase an iphone instead of lost mode or display message =( i want to cancel this operation
    my lost iphone is still offline and erasing not started yet and i want to cancel this request!

    You can't, but after the erasure the activation lock will still be in place, so the device will be useless for anyone not knowing your apple-id and password.

  • How to stop update notification for one app (iMovie) that I do not want to update

    How to stop update notification for one app (iMovie) that I do not want to update. I do not want iMovie 10 taking up nearly 3 gb on my hard disc. iMovie 9 is just fine and only takes up 1.5 gb. But I get notifications to update and don't know how to turn it off. I've gone into the Purchases tab of the App store and deleted it. I don't want to turn off Update notifications (which is irrelevant in any case because I see no option to do that in Notifications system preference pane). I just don't want to be bugged about iMovie updates. The only option I'm given is to postpone the next reminder until the next morning. -- Franklin

  • How to create the request for change of selection text into other language.

    Hi,
    In my object requirement is that when login through Japanese language,  then on selection screen selection text should appear in Japanese language. For that I have maintained the text in Japanese language the program where we define the selection text there from translation I have maintained the text in Japanese but while maintain the text it didn't ask me for REQUEST, because of that I am not able to transport the changes to next system, so I want know how to create the request for this case.
    Thanks

    Hello Chetan,
    You could goto the selection screen texts by goto-> selection texts,
    Then you could again goto -> Translation
    or
    Other-> Translation(Not sure )
    Then double click on the Program you should be able to see the Texts that need translation, now change something save and come back and try to activate, now it should propose for a new Transport Request.
    Either create a new transaport request or give one that you have given for the program.
    Hope the issue is resolved.
