HT4907 Password Issue when attempting to enable Back to My Mac in iCloud Preferences - HELP?

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I have a problem enabling Back to My Mac. When I try and enable B2MM in the iCloud preferences window, I am asked to enter my Apple ID password. It says the password is incorrect, even though it IS 100% correct. I've even tried resetting my password (so that the password lives up to the latest security requirements for passwords, etc). So, it's definitely correct, and I'm able to login to my Apple account here (on this Apple laptop as well as on my iPad and iPhone)... it's not an issue when I log in anywhere else... I am only told my password is incorrect when attempting to enable Back to My Mac in the iCloud preferences pane.
Help?
Many thanks!

Do these make installation of memeo superfluous? Would I need memeo for daily back up?
From what I gather, you couldn't pay me to use Memeo, nor actually a Seagate enclosure, nor many USB only drives, (USB is not bootable on PPC Macs).
I've used maybe a few dozen backup Apps on the Mac, and I'd personally judge only Apple's Time Machine worse than that one.
If you had it to do all over again, you'd get a case with Firewire, one with an Oxford chipset, not containing a Green Drive, not a Seagate Drive, not less than 7200 RPM drive, & a 32MB Cache, not with a One-Button touch feature, ( not a Bus powered drive like...

I searched hard for answers , not aware of this devoted community. What a wonderful discovery.
Great to hear & that you found us, tons of devoted, unselfish helpers here too!
So where are we now on the Drive?
Does it show up in Disk Utility? Can you repair it there?

  • How to resolve password issue when attempting file sharing?

    I have an Imac with os9.2.2 and a ClamShell ibook with os8.6. Until recently I have been able to file share, using an ethernet cable, without using a password.
    When I go into Chooser on either machine and click on file server, eg. "Imac", I get a message to effect that the password is not recognized. I have tried to create a "new" password, but I cannot provide an "old" password.
    How do I get around this or create a new password and move on?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Imac   Mac OS 9.2.x  

    Go to the Users and Groups tab in the FileSharing
    control panel on machine number one. There you (as
    the 'owner') will name the permitted User(s)—whatever
    name you want to use— and you'll give him/her a
    password—whatever you like or nothing at all.
    Do the same on machine number two.
    Since you own both machines, you can erase any
    previous users with defective passwords. Or just
    change their passwords.
    If the Owner of each machine is the very same name on
    each and if you haven't established a password for
    the Owner(yourself), then you should be able to log
    in as the Owner w/o a password. Presumably this was
    what you had. Did you change the owner's name on
    either machine?
    If you're not worried about security, letting Guests
    have access could also be password-free.
    Ed,
    Thank you for your help; file sharing is now operating between those machines.
    I have now added another computer(OSX Tiger) to the network.
    I am having similar problems getting file sharing to work. The new machine is owned by my wife. I added a name for her computer in the Users and Groups on the 9.2 machine. Her machine seems to recognize the old machine. But when I attempt to connect from either machine I get the "cannot connect" message.
    Apple Help for the new machine suggests that a connection can only be done from the 9.2 machine.
    Any suggestions? Perhaps this is not fair to add another question. Let me know if you would prefer that I post a new question.
    Thanks again.

  • Since last update (today) I get invalid password when trying to use back to my MAC, password works everywhere else

    since last update (today) I get invalid Apple ID password when trying to use back to my MAC in Icloud app on my MAC, password works on all my other devices. GLITCH ?

    Try going to the Apple ID page on your web browser
    http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
    and try to either retrieve or reset your password
    (obviously you had to be able to successfully log in to be able to post here)
    I was finally able to log in through my system preferences after about three or four hours. I ran a disk utility to repair permissions and restarted and it seemed to work ok.

  • Client Communication Issues when attempting to retire old ADCS Certificate Authority

    Hi,
    SCCM 2012 R2 running on 2008R2. Single site.
    We've been migrating our environment to a new SHA2 Microsoft CA and we're seeing issues when attempting to retire our old SHA1 CA server.
    We've had a fully functioning PKI integrated SCCM environment for some time. No issues. All our clients have client certificates deployed via group policy.
    We've spun up a new CA and installed new SHA2 distribution point and webserver certificates on the SCCM server.
    We have added the new Root CA certificate to the trusted list in the site properties (both are now listed)
    We have confirmed that new machine builds are receiving SHA2 client computer certificates via group policy.
    Everything runs happily with the two CA servers configured and running. We would like to retire the old CA server but when we shut it down we find that all older clients (with the SHA1 cert) stop communicating with the management point.
    Clients with the newer SHA2 computer certs continue to function. We assumed that the old CA server didn't have to be running for the SHA1 certs to still function. Are we incorrect?
    Anyone able to explain what's happening?
    Cheers!

    Hi Jason,
    No, we don't have CRL checking enabled in the SCCM site settings. As I understand it that tells the clients to check the site server against the CRL?
    We think the issue is due to IIS attempting to check the client certificates against the CRL on the old CA (which is currently turned off)
    For now we've temporarily disabled CRL checking in IIS while we attempt to migrate the old CRL to the new CA. All our clients are now talking happily to the management point.
    All good. Cheers.

    My email on my mac (which has iCloud) is giving me a message that the server has rejected my password.  When I go onto the internet and sign into iCloud there, the password is accepted.  What am I doing wrong??

    Thanks...I just spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support sorting out the password issues for my various devices!!!  My password was compliant with the new rules, but there were some (mysterious) setting issues that required me to delete mail from my MacBookPro and add it back, again.  All in all, it was an hour of trouble-shooting which resulted in what, I hope, is a good fix.
    Thanks for your help...wishing you continued success in the support community.

  • HT4907 I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini.  So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air

    I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini.  So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air and I can use Mini to input data or interact with screens of those computers.

    Regarding your first question about bookmarks, I think you discovered the answer in when you pressed the address bar. The second tab there has your bookmarks.
    As for the keyboard, I'm not sure why your Firefox is reacting so slowly; mine seems to show keyboards even when I don't want them. If you have accumulated a lot of history, perhaps that's an issue?
    Did you use any third party software to move your Firefox data from internal memory to the storage card?

  • How to setup "Back to My Mac" on iCloud.

    Does anyone know how to setup Back to My Mac on iCloud? I never had MobileMe, and all the instructions I find online are for MobileMe. It seems like a really cool concept, though.
    The computers I have are a Mac Pro and a Macbook Pro. Both running the latest update of Lion.

    I've done that. It goes through as if there are no problems, but I still can't use it. Also, when I try to login using my apple ID, it doesn't work. I've gone to the Airport Utility and tried setting up my apple ID with the mobile me tab, but it asks for my me.com username and password. I never had a password for it, because I setup using cloud. I put in my apple ID password anyway, but there is still no luck. It tells me my username or password is incorrect.

  • Issues when attempting to create a new 2012 R2 forest through powershell

    Hello,
    I've been writing  a script to automate the installation of some new servers, however I'm experiencing an issue when I'm coming to create the forest, for some reason the $DomainName and $ADSecPwd variables are not being passed to the Install-ADDSForest
    function.    The $DomainName and $ADSecPwd variables are defined at the top of the script.
    When viewing the variables right before execution I can see that they store the right values, however when executing the code PowerShell throws an exception saying that the DomainName parameter cannot be null.  The same is true for the the SafeModePassword.
    If I hard code the domainname and password then it works, but I don't want to do this, as I'm going to use this script n multiple domains.
    Another issue I have is that the paths are not being created on the specified 'F:\...' drive, instead they are being created in the default location on the C: drive. 
    Below is a copy of the function I'm using.  Anyone have any ideas why this isn't working as expected?
    function Install_ADForest ($uri, $localcredentials, $DomainName, $ADSecPwd) {
    Invoke-Command -ConnectionUri $uri -Credential $localCredentials -ScriptBlock {
    Install-ADDSForest `
    -DomainMode Win2012R2 `
    -ForestMode Win2012R2 `
    -DatabasePath "F:\Windows\NTDS" `
    -SysvolPath "F:\Windows\SYSVOL" `
    -LogPath "F:\Windows\Logs" `
    -NoRebootOnCompletion:$true `
    -DomainName $DomainName `
    -SafeModeAdministratorPassword $ADSecPwd
    Marcus

    Hi Marcus,
    that is because the Invoke-Command is executed on a remote system that does not know the variables in the function. You need to pass them into the scriptblock as arguments like this:
    function Install_ADForest ($uri, $localcredentials, $DomainName, $ADSecPwd)
    Invoke-Command -ConnectionUri $uri -Credential $localCredentials -ArgumentList @($DomainName, $ADSecPwd) -ScriptBlock {
    Param (
    $DomainName,
    $ADSecPwd
    Install-ADDSForest `
    -DomainMode Win2012R2 `
    -ForestMode Win2012R2 `
    -DatabasePath "F:\Windows\NTDS" `
    -SysvolPath "F:\Windows\SYSVOL" `
    -LogPath "F:\Windows\Logs" `
    -NoRebootOnCompletion:$true `
    -DomainName $DomainName `
    -SafeModeAdministratorPassword $ADSecPwd
    Cheers,

  • Memory issue when attempting to open a downloaded ...

    When attempting to open a downloaded image, I get this message 'IMAGE VEWER: Memory full. Close some applications and try again'.
    What could be the issue & how do I solve this?
    Thanks

    I assume re-transferring the image didn't help?
    Under normal circumstances, a 1.3 MB image can't be a problem, since the camera takes pictures around that size.  But the phone doesn't have limitless memory, so the image viewer will have some limitations.  I was able to duplicate your error just now, but only with an 8.4 MB image I found through Google Images.  The resolution was 3880 x 2432 x 24 bit.  If you view the image on a computer, maybe that innocent 1.3 MB file translates into something of similar size, or perhaps it uses an unusual bit depth?  Given the size, that still seems far-fetched, but short of an image viewer bug, that's the only possibility that comes to mind.
    If this is the case and you do need to keep the picture accessible, you'd want to load it into a Photoshop-like program and either crop it, add additional compression, or reduce the bit depth.  Good luck!

  • Timecode Break Issues when Importing, but plays back in camera fine?

    Hello,
    I am having several timecode break issues. The tapes play fine on the camera in "playback" mode but once I try to import through firewire into final cut express it gives me multiple clips. I have tried using Imovie and QuickTime Pro for importing the footage. Imovie gives me delays in the footage and so does QuickTime Pro.
    Why am I getting timecode breaks when importing through final cut express, but then it plays back fine in the camera? I am using a Macbook pro with Maverick and a Sony HVR Z5U camera.
    Any helps would be great. The footage is in DV.
    Thanks

    Why am I getting timecode breaks when importing through final cut express, but then it plays back fine in the camera?
    Because the camera basically ignores the timecode when you just play back a tape in the camera.  While it may display the TC on the LCD screen as the video plays, the camera really doesn't care about TC during plain old playback.  However, with 3 different apps all encountering problems capturing the video, it would appear there are actual TC breaks.
    Questions
    Is this a problem with one or a few specific tapes, or all tapes you try to capture from?
    Also, the HVRZ5U is an HDV-DVCAM-DV camcorder ... are you downconverting HDV material to DV?
    Do you have *ANY* other FW devices connected to you Mac when you try to capture video from the camera?
    In FCE, you might try using the DV NTSC DV Converter easy setup, which ignores timecode, instead of the default DV NTSC easy setup.

  • Bootcamp Issues when attempting to install Windows 7

    Please excuse my ignorance.... new to Apple after using Windows for ever.
    I am attempting to install Windows 7 on my new MacBook Pro 13" purchased 4 days ago. I follow the instructions from following tutorials on UTube however do not get the option to divide my OS into a mac portion and a windows portion.
    I have got the original Windows 7 disc have also created an ISO version, and have formatted a USB to be MS-DOS Fat. Still no luck
    On the tutorials, it states to open up Bootcamp, then divide the partitians for Windows / Mac, then load up your Windows 7 disc.
    This does not happen on my bootcamp.
    Im asked to create an ISO of Windows 7, which I have done
    Then asked to download the latest Windows support software for Apple - which starts - but never ends
    Then when attempting the third section, installing Windows 7 I get an error message stating please install the installation disc and wait a few seconds
    I am using the Bootcamp that was included with my purchase of the MacBook Pro. Should I search for another one - although I appear to be up to date with applications.
    I am doing this in order to use CorelDRAW via windows on my mac for my small business. Any help would be most appreciated, and please no smart comments as i am really struggling here and everything appears to be simple, but is not.
