I am getting this pop-up whenever I open iCal. Recently changed Google password. What has gone wrong?

You really should not post your email address to a public forum such as this where it can be harvested by spammers. I requested the Hosts edit it for your protection.

Please help I am suddenly getting the following on my calendar The server did not recognize your user name or password for account "..." Make sure you enter them correctly. I depend on it for work

Please help I am suddenly getting the following from my calendar The server did not recognize your user name or password for account “...” Make sure you enter them correctly.I have even tried changing the password and no luck. I depend on it syncing with mobile me and my phone and I need it for work.

I have been having the same issue but I think I fixed my problem. In iCal, click iCal, Preferences, Accounts and retype your password. That seems to have done the trick for me as far as I can tell.

I assume that you don't have the installation discs, so:
1. Reboot
2. Hold command + s key down after you hear the chime.
3. When you get a text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
(Type these commands very carefully)
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
4. You will go through the setup process again, create a new admin account, login to it and then change your existing account password or whatever else you need to do. You can delete the account you made in this process, or not.

I need to forward some photos and I keep getting this message " the email server didn't recognize your user name or password.

In trying to forward some photos, I keep getting the message:
The email server didn't recognize your user name
and password.

First go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account that's there. Close iPhoto, reopen and add your email account to the Accounts preference pane and try again.
Next, and IMO the better solution, set Mail are the email client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preference pane:
This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy and, if you need a layout like iPhoto gives you, similar layouts in iPhoto's stationary option.

I purchased a new MacBook Pro and when transferring files iphoto did not transfer. I have a question mark in the place of the icon. My pictures are in library but can't properly access iphoto. Thank you

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

I have a new MacBook Pro, and when I try to print, the laptop says, "stopped filter failed 1 page". What can I do?

I have a new MacBook Pro, and when I try to print, the laptop says, "stopped filter failed 1 page". What can I do?

Okay, regarding this problem:
I'm trying to print to an Advent AW10 printer from an Imac running Yosemite 10.10.1 and it's been driving me nuts for the last two months...
I got on to Advent yesterday and recieved this instruction from their support team this morning and it worked and I'm now printing away merrily:
Please follow below steps:
In Spotlight search window type Terminal and then press Enter.
This should bring up the terminal window/program.
In the Terminal type:
sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf' then press Enter.
It will ask for your password. Please enter system password.(You will not see password entering)
After that type following:
sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd then press Enter.
Try Printing.
I don't think this is specific to Advent and is rather simply an 'opening up' of something blocking the 'printer channels' (layman's terms obviously)
Hope this helps people out!

Your machine already has Mavericks installed. Why are you trying to download it?

Email server didn't recognize your user name

Just lately - when trying to email a photo in iPhoto ~ I get this message: email server didn't recognize your user name/password combo. I have googled and checked Preferences. I have tried to reset each of the passwords in each email account I have set up with iPhoto ~ facebook, gmail and iCloud. Nothing helps.
Any other ideas? Thanks!!

Delete the accounts from iPhoto and add them back.
If you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate a new "application-specific password" in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.

Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. HELP!!

Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. I know that the folders that have the problem were not transferred to the hard drive via a photo transfer application (I have a Canon camera) but I simply copied them out of the photo card and onto my old PC.
Is there some way I can open these pictures on my Mac? They work fine on a PC.

Thanks for your reply.
The files don't open in preview either. In preview I get the error message 'The file "xxxx_xxx.jpg" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize'. The folders with these un-openable pictures do not even get imported into iPhoto. When I try to import them I get an error message about the files being unreadable.
The color profile information on the un-openable files is not visible but I see that all the other files from my old drive are RGB.

i locked my new ipod touch and cant it back open from the computer help.?:

First:
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with defect cables
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

If you get it to charge then:

Received an error message Mail server didn't recognize your user/passwork combination. How you I change my password to send the email?

Tried to send a photo, received error message The email server didn't recognize your user/password combination. How do I correct the password?

Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts -> Account Information -> Password. Tho' if it has been working in the past and suddenly you're getting this message without you having changed anything in your settings then it may be a problem at the server end. If that's the case then leave it a few hours and try again. If the problem persists after 24 hours then try changing your settings.

I cannot email a photo from iphoto. A message comes up that says "email server did not recognize username / password combination". How do I fix that? /

I cannot email a photo from iphoto. A message comes up that says " email server did not recognize username / password combination ". There does not seem to be a way from inside iphoto to fix that. Any suggestions ?

Have you set Mail.app or iPhoto as Mail client in the iPhoto Preferences? Mail.app is working more reliable than iPhoto as mail client.
See this post by Old Toad:

I just got a new MacBook Pro and when creating the icons on my desktop I realized that if the title is too long it cuts if off and adds dots. For example, instead of the title stating "Graduate School Info" it will say "Gradu...fo". How do I fix it?

When switching to my new MacBook Pro, it will not let me display the titles of the icons as it has in my other Macbooks. In my new Macbook it will either:
a) cut off the title and inssert three dots
For example,
"Graduate School Info" will become "Gradua..nfo"
OR
b) it will cut off the word and put it underneath
For example,
"Publications" will become
"Publicatio
ns"
I am not sure how to change the settings so that it can allow more room to display the titles of the icons/folders the way I would like them to be displayed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Best,
KM

The best you can do is highlite a file on your Desktop. Finder>View>show view options>
and increase your Grid Size to MAX.
