I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password.

I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password. It never used to do this. What can I do to be able to send a email without having to type in a password?

Hey it4daddy73,
What mail provider are you currently using (Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo?).
Open up safari and go to that providers website and log into your email.
If you get in than open the mail app and click on mail on the top of the screen, then go down to preferences, click on the accounts tab, and type your password. Close the window and it will save.
If this doesn't work I would even try deleting the account by going into mail/preferences/accounts and clicking the - button in the bottom left corner. Than re add and configure the account by pressing the + button.
Hope this works, and good luck.

Can not log into server computer with any accounts - "You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."

I have a Mac mini running the latest version of OS X and Server. Been running fine and flawlessly. However, I had a strange problem with the iCloud preferences panel crashing when I tried to access it, so I rebooted. Now I can not log into the system with any accounts. My master admin account (along with all the others) gives me the error:
You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."
I am able to see the server from other macs and I can log into it using the same account, but it only shows me a few of the shared folders I have access to but NOT to my main directories.
Rebooting into Command-R and doing a disk utility, I try and repair permission on that drive and get a bunch of errors like:
ACL found but not expected on Users
Repaired "Users"
ACL found but not expected on Users/.localized
Repaired "Users/.localized"
ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared
Repaired "Users/shared"
ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared/.localized
Repaired "Users/Shared/.localized"
Permissions repair complete.
But rebooting is no joy...same problem. Any idea what is going on or how to repair it? Should I do a time machine restore? Complete new OS X install? Any idea what is causing this or how to salvage it?

Got everything to re-install and it worked fine...for a few hours. Then I came in to find ALL of my network users deleted. Just GONE. Then found out the Open Directory was trashed and was unable to open, recover or restore from a backup. Looks like I may have a bad drive here.
I installed a new drive in the system, re-installed and so far (for a couple of hours anyway) the system seems to be working and stable.

You can't. But the buyer more than likely restored it because he/she could not use your Apple ID.

I upgraded to ios5 and now I can't log into my ipad with my password. How can I fix this?, I upgraded to ios5 and now I can't log into my ipad with my password.

I upgraded to ios5 and now I can't log into my Ipad with the password I had set and been using for the last 2 years. What do I need to do to get logged in?

You will have to format your iPad. Looks like that's the only way to reset your password.
Formatting your iPad
Turn off your iPad, turn on iTunes, hold large button down on ipad while connecting the white ipad cord to your Pc.
When the window prompts format iPad,let the button go and press format button on iTunes.
That is how I solved the same problem.

ICloud child account - Can't log into Apple ID or iCloud with child account

Nightmare! Created three kids accounts. Loaded the ID on iTouchs.
Then went to https://appleid.apple.com/account/home to change info... couldn't log in.
I also couldn't log into iCloud with the new ID's.
After a call to apple (no help) and thinking real hard (and wasting a day)....
The reason is because when I entered the new ID into iTouch (the ID was orginally created on my Iphone)... I had restrictions turned on in the iTouch.
I disabled all restrictions. Waited a few minutes. Then was able to log into both sites.
Then put restrictions back on on the iTouch. Still able to log into both sites.
Apple failed to mention that small detail.
Hope this helps someone else.
PS. Apple told me that the kids id was not able to be used as an email? or log into iCloud? NOT!
It has full rights as any other ID (other than purchases).

My iphone 4s can see my home network but it is not asking me for a password..so it cannot connect ?

I am trying to connect a new iphone 4s and my lynksis can be seen but the phone is not asking me for the password...so i cannot connect ?

Hi, jtheokas.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple things you could try for this. If you are attempting to connect to a network that indicates that it is protected by the lock symbol in Settings > Wi-Fi, select the "i" next your network name and Forget this Network. If you are on iOS 6 you will see a blue arrow. Try connecting after processing these steps. If that doesn't work, got to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Attempt to connect to the network. Make sure you are clicking on your network name. Please note, resetting network settings will remove all remembered Wi-Fi network connections and Bluetooth pairings.

Two Apple IDs, can't log into Support Communities with newest one

Hi, I have an old Apple ID (very old, actually, from the earliest date of being able to have one) and a new Apple ID that I want to use for access to the support community.
Problem: I cannot access the support community with my new ID.
I can access it with my old ID. That's how I accessed the support communities to post this request for help.
This is what happens:
I go to Support --> Communities
I enter my newer Apple ID
I enter my correct passwordNote - I use this combination on iTunes for purchases all the time. It works. This isn't a password issue.
I then get asked to establish a sceen name.
I enter a name that (finally) hasn't been taken by someone else and click the button at the bottom of the screen, to continue.
An error message returns stating that there is another account using that e-mail address (my newer Apple ID).
I can never get past this error message using my newer Apple ID.
The system won't let me log in using my new Apple ID. It says my new Apple ID - which is a .mac account e-mail - is already used by someone else. But that someone else is me. I'm not trying to replace my new ID, I'm not trying to alter the password on my new Apple ID, I just can't get past the step where the system rejects any and all attempts to create a screen name associated with my newer Apple ID.
Something's messed up. I just want to use my newer Apple ID and pretty much forget about the older one.

HI,
I have in the past "Created" a Support Communities "Alias" for at least one if not two @mac.com accounts
I have create a number of @mac.com accounts as "iChat Names" as the @mac.com registration Page advertised them as during the MobileMe period.
I have checked one on the Apple ID page and logged in (I had to change the password first)
It seems the one I checked had only the @mac.com address and no alternative email address.
(I am sure if I used this one in Messages it would cause problems.)
I am sure another required me to set up an alternative email and that required me to remove one of my three external emails from another ID.
I would still use the "Contact iTunes Support" link to see if they can sort it out.

I can't log into to my icloud because it asks for apple id but then says that apple id is not the same as the icloud id

I just signed up for icloud. I previously had itunes on my old computer.When I went to sign up to icloud it told me my password was wrong so I changed it. When I went to sign into icloud (after installed) It told me I have to log in using my Apple Id in order to get into Icloud but when I do that, this message comes up :
Can not sign in
This Apple Id is valid but is not an icloud account.
From what I have read your Apple Id is your icloud Id. Help, I don't know what to do? I just want to back up pictures from a phone that someone gave me and that I will be having blanked out when it gets turned on by new provider.
I am able to log on in here but for some reason can't get into my icloud...help is appreciated, thank you.

but it doesn't ask you if you have one or say that you won't be able to log on without one.
Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer. You back up to iCloud over wifi. All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup. You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud.
