    Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
    Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
    cheers

    They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
    Not a great solution.
    Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

    What do you mean your Yahoo mail isn;t working? If you are talking about it not working in the mail app, remove your account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and add it again. Then follow the instructions here to recover your Apple ID password.

  • Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:  FaceTime Password Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name" Never used FaceTime.

    Dear Community,
    Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:
    FaceTime Password
    Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name"
    It happened to me today for the first time since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.3, no "stop lights" in the title bar of the popup, in fact nothing at all.
     I've never established a FaceTime account. So I tried to delete FaceTime from the Applications folder on the "system" disk thinking this may eliminate the popup. Mavericks informed me "Cannot delete FaceTime as it is used by the operating system. 
    Is this a MAC virus? Or is this an example user community alpha/beta testing that Apple just announced?
    TIA,
    GonzoBernelli

    That being the case, why then did the FaceTime popup even appear in the first place?
    It's not clear to me what it is. If it occurs again, please take a screenshot of the popup and post it in a reply.
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    The screenshot attachment option for this support site appears only on computers - not on iPads.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

    Can I have more then one icloud E-Mail Account?

    Hi Pathfinder93950,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    You can only have one iCloud account per Apple ID.  However, you can have up to 3 aliases that point to that iCloud account.  Here is some additional information:
    iCloud: Set up an @icloud.com email address
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2620
    After you set up your @icloud.com email address, you can use it to sign in to iCloud. You can also sign in using the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account.
    iCloud: About email aliases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4897
    iCloud: Create or change email aliases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2622
    You can have up to three active email aliases, and you can delete or deactivate (turn off) an email alias at any time. You might want to deactivate an alias if, for example, you use an alias to make a purchase. After you receive the item, you can turn off the alias to avoid follow-up advertisements, then turn it on again when you make another purchase.
    Deleting an alias is permanent, so if you think you might want to use the alias again, you should simply turn it off. When an alias is turned off, all email sent to that alias is returned to the sender.

  • How can i get my password of my system preference account?

    hi everyone!
    i want to ask an unusul question...
    actually for i was downloading the ox x mountain lion. and after few hours it totally got downloaded in my mac. and then it asks me to TYPE MY USER PASSWORD! as far as i can remember that i never put an password for my mac. i have just put my user name in it so that everyone can use it without typing the password. so, here is the Big Problem... im not able to install the ox x mountain lion in my mac as it requests to change some setting after i type the password...!!!
    so whenever i want to change someting in my mac it asks me the user pass! so guys! wat am i supposed to do now??? i dont understand cuz i have never used mac b4!

    You probably have your system set for what is called "automatic login", wherein no password is requied for the computer to completely boot to the lone administrator's desktop.
    You can try to perform the function you are attempting by leaving the password box blank, but if it is insufficient, then you do have a password set, but just don't know it. To remedy the problem, you will need to reset the administrator password. After doing so, DO NOT LOSE this password. Of course you can simply reset it again, in the future, but it does mean that your Keychain, in which you store online passwords will be rendered useless, and you will have to start anew with a new keychain.
    Here is how you reset the password for Lion.
