Cannot get G Mail to accept my password, even after changing it.  Cannot get on-line to send or retrieve messages.  Help?  Roger1289

Hi Roger,
Does gMail's WebMail work with the same login & password?
Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:

  • Mail will no longer accept my password

    I recently upgraded to Lion and moved my MobileMe account to iCloud. After experiencing problems with some of my apps, I switched back to Snow Leopard (10.6.8, Clean install). I'm now having issues logging in to Mail from my Mac, as my password is being rejected. This problem didn't exist when I set up my account after moving back down to Snow Leopard. Rather, it started a couple weeks ago. I can still login to iCloud via Safari and all of my mail continues to come in on my iPhone 4S just fine, but not on my MacBook Pro. I tried deleting the account in Mail and adding it again, but I can't continue the account setup, as the password is getting rejected from the setup window.
    Not sure if this is the issue, but since switching back, I can no longer upload (Share) photos or videos to my Gallery via iMovie or Aperture, since iCloud doesn't work with apps running in Snow Leopard. It's a minor inconvenience that I can live with, since those services will be dropped in June anyway, but is the problem with Mail the exact same same issue? Because System Preferences in Snow Leopard wants to sync with MobileMe, which, as I mentioned before, I am no longer a part of, since upgrading to iCloud.
    Am I on the right track here? Do I need to give up using Mail on my laptop, until I can upgrade back to Lion and iCloud?

  • How do you update apps that where purchased using different iTunes accounts?  I get a cannot connect to iTunes message and it won't accept the password even after you change it.

    Both my iPad and iPhone have the same problem.  I have purchased apps with three different accounts. I understand I will need to use the original acct to do the update but every time it asks for the password I put it in and get a message that I cannot connect to iTunes store. I have even had the password reset and it still will not connect on the upgrade.  But I can sign in with that account and purchase new apps i am loading a free one now just to make sure. So what is that about?  Please do not tell me I have to also use the original password!  We have reset them so many times that there is no way to remember the original one used at time of purchase a year and 1/2 ago.  Please help. I have also upgraded to the iCloud thinking this would solve the problem but it still exists.

    I use only one Apple ID and only one ID. I did have to change the password at one point but I had no issues at all with updating apps after I changed the password.
    If you can download new apps with the ID that you changed the password for, I would think that you will be able to update apps associated with that ID as well.
    Did you try restarting the iPad after signing out of the one account and then sign in to the other account/accounts?

  • ITunes will no longer accept my password

    The same password I have used previously will no longer get accepted so I changed it and that will not get accepted either.  Any suggestions?

    First, I made sure on the Apple site that I could sign into the iTunes Store to make sure I was using the right password for iTunes and it was.  However, when I went to redeem a gift card on iTunes, the box kept popping up asking me to enter my password over and over again and I could not get past it.  I am on my MacBook Pro, OSX 10.6.8 and my iTunes version is 11.1.3.  I shut down my laptop, restarted, made sure in Safari pop ups were not blocked, private browsing off and preferences set to Never deny cookies and I emptied the cache.  I forced quit iTunes and then relaunched it.  This worked. 

  • Can't get iCloud to accept my password, even after changing, and Apple confirms.

    I've just upgraded to Mountain Lion, and as part of the process, it asked me for my Apple ID to do get ICloud operational.  Wouldn't accept my password, so I finally used the Apple Support option to change it to a new one.  I did this, and Apple sent the confirmation email, but it still won't work.  I know this password works to confirm my identity with Apple, since I had to enter it, to post this querry.  I eventually signed out of ICloud to see if I could start from there, and now when I enter my info., the sign in screen just sits there with the little spinning wait signifier spinning.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Repair pernissions with Disk Utility.
    Reboot your computer and try to log in. Try both the old and new passswords - I had issues on my wifes account and even though I had changed the password it took the old one - go figure.

  • Yosemite mail won't allow me to add a gmail account to it. Help?

    After downloading Yosemite, I changed the password to my school gmail account. Shortly after I realized that Mac Mail would not allow me to send or receive messages. I deleted the gmail account off of my mac mail, and tried to add it again later in order to circumvent the problem. It did not work, as I now cannot add my gmail account back on. Accounts immediately replies "Unable to verify account name or password", or "cannot discover the account settings for the mail server ---." Any advice??

    Hi njs72,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you are not able to re add the email account to Mail. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

  • Itunes will no longer accept any of my credit cards.  Says security code doesn't match with any card I use.  I have inputted new card info in the apple store area and it still says the same thing in itunes.  Customer service is no help at all.

  • Mail will no longer save passwords

    Mail suddenly eliminated the passwords for all of my mail accounts, and now it will no longer save any password that I type into the account panes. After increasingly slow performance, I figured that defragmenting and optimizing my startup drive might help, so I did so (via TechTools 4). Unfortunately, after doing so, I have had many Mail problems, including the problem started here.
    What must I do in order to get Mail to again save passwords I type into my accounts?

  • My Mail Will No Longer Send Out! I Have A Picture Of The Message I Get...

    For some reason, the last couple of days my mail will no longer send out.
    The e-mails that I want to send just sit in my outbox.
    I don't know what to do...
    Here is a picture of the message that I keep getting:
    Hopefully someone will know what to do because I need to be able to send e-mails!!!
    Thanks,

    Jane,
    From what venues are you experiencing this failure -- home or cafes? In a few cases, the ISP will simply NOT allow the use of SMTPs other than the one they provide. In those cases you have no choice but to use the SMTP provided by your ISP as the Outgoing Server, even in your .mac account.
    With that background, please review your problem and what you have tried. I tried to review your other posts, but I think you need to provide me a summary, as I have to run now.

  • HT201363 My ipad does no longer accept my password

    My iPad no longer accepts my password.  How do I fix this? Thanks!

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
