I am so sick of entering my password for iCloud email.
I have tried everything including deleting the icloud account on mail and re-creating it. There times when that password prompt pops up over and over.
Please fix this apple! Its annoying! Not only that it does it with mail we have setup on our OSX Lion Server as well.
Thank you!

Found another thread about the same issue.
Just tried following the instructions given there to "manually" add the "iCloud" account and not allow the system to automatically configure Mail by using the checkmark option in the iCloud preferences in the System Preferences app.
Follow the instrucations here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
Also refer to this Apple site for specifics as to what ports, server names to use as well.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
Just did it on my Lion Server Mac and so far not seeing the issue happen again and now seeing the proper "imap.mail.me.com and smtp.mail.me.com" server names in the Mail configuration settings and not the weird "pX-mail.me.com" versions.
Also, you can run "Connection Doctor" under "Window" menu item in Mail to verify if there is a connection issue.
Good luck.
Carlos.

HT2623 I keep getting an error message when I enter my password for iCloud IMAP server
I keep getting an error message when I enter my password for iCloud IMAP server
A number of users who have chosen to set up iCloud mail manually in the Mail application seem to encounter problems with continually being asked to sign in. This may well be a result of incorrect settings such as not setting 'Apple Token' for authentication under the accounts advanced settings.
A more general approach to remedying such problems would be to turn off Mail in System Preferences/Settings > iCloud, checking the account has been removed from Mail (and deleting it if it hasn't), restarting and then enabling iCloud Mail again from System Preferences/Settings > iCloud. This will ensure the correct settings are used. -

HT2500 How do I reset password for icloud email?
The instructions do not seem to carry this simple need. I forgot my password ... and apple help directs me to enter it in order to change it?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I think you are not looking in the correct place. Your iCloud email address uses the same password as your Apple ID, so to reset the password, see > http://iforgot.apple.com -
No Password for iCloud email Freaks out iPad
Hi there,
I just synced my email accounts with my iPad 2 (current iOS). All went well except I can't get any emails from my iCloud service (Irony?). I have had this apple ID for years, and I used it to sign up for iCloud. When I signed up for iCloud, it asked me what email address I wanted for my iCloud email, so i picked one. At no time was I asked for a password. If I look at my iCloiud email account in Mail, I have no password in the feild, and it checks and retrieves my iCloud email, no problem. My iPad, however, won't touch my iCloud email because there's no password. I tried my Apple ID password. Nope. I tried to manually addiing my iCloud email to the iPad, after deleting the synced account,but it won't add an account until a password has been entered. What do I do?
Thanks in advance.
MalcolmFixed it by Deleting the entire iCloud service from my iPad and then signed in to iCloud from the iPad again.

How do I reset an icloud email password on my iphone? It is not my apple id password. I cannot see anything in the online support at Apple.
Go to http://appleid.apple.com to manage your iCloud ID and check to see if your @me.com address is associated with your ID. If it isn't you'll have to contact iCloud support to see if it is still active, and if so, how to associate it with your account.

MAcbook is stuck and will not shutdown following download of X Mavericks software. Setup assistant is stuck and will not allow the MacBook Air to shutdown. It's been doing this for over 5 hours......any ideas?
Hi there—
This reply doesn't seem to take into account the query.
Please help?
The computer is completely unresponsive and won't shut down or turn off. It is stuck in Set Up Assistant after trying to sign in to AppleID.
Attempting to shut down or restart produces the following dialogue:
"The application Set Up Assistant has cancelled shut down.
To try shutting down again, quit Setup Assistant and click Try Again."
HOWEVER it is impossible to quick Set Up Assistant— the icon is completely unresponsive even to force quit, right click or anything.
I've managed to get into being able to see Dashboard and at the top Desktop and the dock below. But I can't click on anything from there. So it seems it is not the whole computer. Just set-up assistant.
Please help??
Thank you -
I went to the settings and entered my new account info with the new apple ID but everytime I try to download something it is asking me to enter the password for the old ID(which is disabled)
Maybe the App Store is still open with the old info?
Try this:
Restart your iPhone
Press Settings and then Store
Press your Apple ID and choose sign out
Press Home button
Go back to Settings > Store and then sign in with new ID/password. -
My Apple ID was changed. It works fine on my IPad mini, my MAc and in Itunes Store, Yet when I try to update apps on my IPAD 1 I am asked to enter a password for the old ID user name which appears in the pop up window. When It still askes for the wrong ID data. I have uodated it in settings, and I have logged ontht the account to verify that it still works properly and it does. I reboot the IPAD and then attempt to update apps again but it still asked for the Old ID password and still shows the old ID username. The dame thing refuses to recognize my new Apple ID data. This is making my older IPAD unuseable.
You cannot change your Apple ID. You can get a new one if you want, but all of your Apps and media are linked to yoru old Apple ID. And no, Apple won't transfer your old ID purchases to yoru new ID.

I'm continually getting a pop-up message on my iPhone asking me to enter my Apple ID password for a email address I no longer use. How do I make it stop?
If you are signed into your current iCloud ID you shouldn't be prompted for the old ID unless there is another service still signed into it. Check the ID in iMessage (Settings>Messages>Send & Receive), FaceTime (Settings>FaceTime), Game Center (Settings>Game Center), the iTunes store (Settings>iTunes & App Store), etc. to make sure you aren't still signed in with the old ID. If you are, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

Hello everybody
I bought a new iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 installed. When I connected it to itunes for the first time to activate it iTunes asked me to enter the password for an account that the iPhone is locked to like if the device was used before what shall I do? PLease reply soonI can't do that because the device was purchased from United Arab Emirates and I got it as a gift in Syria but the problem is that there is not even a single apple store in Syria so is there another way to fix that, I googled it and was told to jailbreak the device whitch I did and than hacktivated it but the problem is the device doesn't connect to any network and only shows "no service" and the battery draining too fast so is there any other way to fix this issue

i have a 3g iphone. I dowloaded Icloud months ago. I have just today started getting popups on my phone to ...Sign in to ICloud... Enter the apple ID password for "my email address that i use on my iphone".
Is this a virus? And how do i stop this madness.How did you download iCloud with an iPhone 3G?
Accessing an iCloud account is not supported with an iPhone 3G.
There are no viruses that affect or infect iOS, unless you have purposely jailbroken/hacked your iPhone which removes all built in security included with iOS allowing you to download unofficial apps from unknown and untrusted sources which can include malware.
Don't remember where you access your Apple ID with the App Store with iOS 4 which is the latest version for an iPhone 3G, but have you checked there? If so, try logging out of your Apple ID followed by logging back in with the iTunes App Store. -
My Ipod touch is stuck in the password screen and I can't turn it off or cancel. The screen that it is stuck at says :enter the password for the exchange account "exchange"
Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears -
I changed my AppleID and password on the Apple web site but when I try to sign in on my touch it asks me to enter the password for my old Apple ID, how do i get ICloud to recognize my new ID?
Hi appledapple1964,
After changing your Apple ID information, you may need to manually sign out and sign back in on your devices so that they may recognize the update. You may find the following article helpful:

I'm trying to set up my new iPhone using iCloud - I entered my apple ID and password and selected the backup to restore from but the next page asks me to enter a password for a DIFFERENT apple ID
What different Apple ID? Yours? Your friends? Your dogs... ? I think we are going to need more information. You're probably best setting up the phone as a new phone and restoring from iCloud later on.
