HT2623 I forgot the password for my .mac account and cannot log into it from Apple Mail. I have an iCloud mail account but did not convert my .mac account to iCloud. How can I log into my .mac or .me email?

I set up .mac, including email, around 2006. I believe my .mac account became a .me account, but I continued to receive email sent to .mac until about March 2013.
I accessed my .mac account using Apple Mail on an iMac running OS X 4.11. I'm still using that machine.
In July 2013, I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X 8.5, bought an iPod Touch and set up an iCloud account.
I forgot my .mac password and I want to open an email message sent to my .mac email account.
When I attempt to log into my .mac account using Apple Mail, my password attempts are rejected by a .me mail server.
Is there any way I can restore my access to my .mac or .me email?
Thanks,
William Postman

MacBook Pro says my password is wrong but I haven't changed it and my apple I'd says its wrong on the MacBook but works fine on the ipad, how can I log into my mac? Pls help urgently

My MacBook Pro says my password is wrong, but I haven't changed it, tried resetting password with apple I'd but MacBook says that's wrong too. The apple I'd works on the ipad though. How do I log into my mac?

a virus/trojan/malware is not cross platform so they are 100% made for a device
the day a virus/trojan/malware is discovered that works on any ios devices that are not jailbroken
you will find it all over the news and all posts in this forum would be about that
try login from the browser rather then the mail program and verify each account setting one by one to verify that they are correctly because an undocumented unwanted feature in the os of your phone could be the cause

I forgot my password to log into my MacBoook Air

I forgot my password to log into my MacBoook Air, using OSX 10. Rats. I was told that I can reset the password by opening and using password utility from OSX recovery and that there is an article on Apple support that will tell me how. I looked and can't find the article. Can anyone suggest how to do this? I am stuck on my Log In screen feeling silly about resetting my password to keep my kids off of the computer - and then forgetting the password.I am pretty sure I have the latest version of OSX - 10.7 - on the computer. As a first time user I would also appreciate someone letting me know if I posted in the right Community.

That indicates a hardware failure. Read here:

If nothing works, you most likely have a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple store to confirm.

Can you be logged into two macs at the same time?

can you be logged into two macs at the same time?

Basically, yes. If there's some kind of issue, please describe it a little.

I cannot log into my mac. I have determined that the caps lock is on no matter if the caps lock light is on or off. Anything I can do?

Begin by resetting the SMC and PRAM each at least 2x. If that won't work book an appointment at your local Apple Store or AASP. However before doing so, after you have done the resets (assuming they do not work) test another keyboard to determine if it's the keyboard or computer.

Wireless keyboard connected but can't type in password

I updated from an iOS 10.8 to 10.9 recently after my hard drive crashed and had to get replaced. I have connected the wireless keyboard connected but I can't type in certain key letters. I can only type in numbers and the middle set of letters. The other letters which I can't type into as my password.

Hello amandateavy,
It sounds like your bluetooth keyboard is connected but only some of the keys on it work. I recommend starting by performing a PRAM reset, and then booting to Safe Boot:
About NVRAM and PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information.
And:
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

SOS!!! can not type username/password with heart symbol () to login with keyboard.

My child accidentally added heart symbol (♥) in username, and now I can not login into my macbook air as I can not type the ♥ symbol with keyboard. apple tech service said no such experience before.

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

Keys broke,can't type my password,able via Computer?

Hello guys!
I sadly lost one of the best phones today... Half of my keyboard (the right side) is not working anymore...
But, because my password has letters from everywhere, I couldn't type in my password, realised it too late and now there is one try left..
As life plays, I was thinking about doing a backup recently, but now it's too late. I would lose a lot of data, especially my notes.
So, my question is: is it possible to connect my phone to my computer and transfer the data?
I know the password, it's just I can't type it in..
I so hope you can help me!
I wish you a great day wherever you are!
Greetings from Paris!

Hello tinky87 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Yes, you can use the Desktop Software to make a backup of your device date.
Note: If you used numbers in your password and didn't hold ALT each time, it would be the letter that corresponds for the password, not the number - for example 123456 would correspond to wersd on the computer keyboard).
Hope this helps!

Keyboard has stopped working - can't type in password

Help!
I recently downloaded a patch so that I could open Word 2008 documents (I have Word 2004 for Mac). A couple of hours after, my keyboard froze and now I can't get into my computer! I can't touch anything as I keep getting asked for the password but I can't type it in!
The mouse still moves and the caplock light can be turned on and off so I don't think it is a physical problem with the keyboard.
I've tried using my brothers wireless keyboard and attaching connections via USB but no success.
Any advice please?!

Try this procedure http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 to reset PRAM/NVRAM
If that does not solve your problem, in addition, try resetting SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

TS3048 Wireless keyboard turns on but can not type. Can not do any of the trouble shooting I read about because I can not type my password .... Please Help

The Apple wireless keyboard will not work. Batteries are new, light is on & goes into search mode. Worked fine yesterday, today - wont type. Can not do any of the troubleshooting I read about online because I can not type my login. Is there a lock key I may have hit by accident and can unlock? The bluetooth is working because my wireless mouse works...Please Help

I was just researching the same problem and found this info :
"I figured it out, i had "mouse keys" on.
To fix go to Preferences>Universal>Mouse> MouseKeys and click off"
sure enough I had the 'mousekeys' on and turning it off - keyboard now working
hope this works for you

My iMac will go to the start up page but I can't type my password

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to fix the problem where I get to the start up page but I can't type in my password

Are you using a Bluetooth keyboard? if so make sure its connected, also try restarting your computer in safe mode (hold down the shift key when restarting) then try to log in.
