I cannot login to gmail

Starting Thursday, September 26, I cannot login to gmail. I stay logged into gmail continuously, rarely logging out. Starting yesterday, I noticed that my email was not up when I clicked on the Firefox tab that should have had my gmail account opened. Instead, I was at the login screen. I logged on and once the screen is populated, showing my in-box and the initial tabs and emails, before I can click on anything, the screen automatically reverts to the login screen. No error or message is ever given.
I started by trying all the typical restart browser, clear browser history & cache type fixes. Nothing worked. Today I am still unable to login to my gmail from my desktop computer. I can access email from my tablet or my phone with no problems but gmail from my computer is dead in the water. I rebooted. No change. I logged off of my Windows profile and logged into my wife's. I can login to gmail just fine from her profile using Firefox. When I'm logged into my profile I cannot. I can login using any other browser you can think of. I tried a default reset. No luck. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. No dice. This definitely seems like a Firefox issue, but limited only to my profile. What gives?
Has anyone else experienced this issue or have does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

jscher2000,
Thank you very much for trying to assist. I don't wish to seem unappreciative but I have to wonder if you actually read through my post. I understand you were trying to help but I fail to understand how suggesting the very same things that I said I've already tried unsuccessfully is supposed to be helpful. As my original post stated, I've already tried all of your suggestions, numerous times. Those were the first things I tried, before the default reset and before the full uninstall/reinstall.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks.
- Byron

Cannot login to my phone since iOS7

Using the same 6 digit PIN since before the update, after iOS7, I can no longer log in.
Think it was previously because I had a custom one due to being connected to work emails, but that hasn't seemed to have copy across - fundamental flaw?
I no longer have access to my phone at all, cannot log in, see messages, calls, anything.
Surely someone else in the world has had their phone synced with work emails and has this same problem?

Have you tried another Google account, just to see if it's a general issue, or something going on w/the account you've tried? If necessary you could create a new Gmail account just for the sake of testing, if you don't have a roommate/spouse/friend who could try their account.

Cannot login ver6.21

Here's the story: My computer(Windows 7) had been running abnormally slow, so naturally I restarted it. Once my computer had turned back on I went to open Skype per usual. Strangely, it would keep me stuck logging in forever, and it took 10-95% CPU. I think at that time I had been running 6.18. I uninstalled Skype and installed the latest version (6.21) and I have had the same problem. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot get G Mail to accept my password, even after changing it. Cannot get on-line to send or retrieve messages. Help? Roger1289

Hi Roger,
Does gMail's WebMail work with the same login & password?
Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:

I have installed firefox and it works well on everything except that I cannot access my gmail and twitter accounts. Tried lots of things and nothing works.

I have made sure the sites are allowed in privacy settings. Every time I try to load either of them I get nothing for gmail and a non-member page for twitter and cannot login on either

Cannot login to airport extreme router settings

Hi
I've recently moved from an iiNet ADSL2+ service to NBN, in Australia. Everything has worked perfectly fine, and continues to, with relation to internet connectivity.
I've just signed up for an iiNet VOIP NetPhone service, and purchased a Gigaset C610 VOIP phone. In trying to connect with my current hardware, I'm running into constant difficulties. The first step is meant to be to login to my modem/router with my new iiNet NetPhone details. However, when I type my IP into Safari, I constantly get error messages saying that it cannot connect to the server.
I'm using an Airport Extreme Base Station, connected via ethernet to one of my Cat6 internet points. This then connects to my NBN box, located in my garage.
I've tried:
various IP address (10.0.1.1, 192.168.1.1 etc.)
connecting my MacBook via wifi and hardwiring
resetting and later restoring my Airport
using different computers (Mac and PC) to login
The internet still works fine, through ethernet and wifi - I just cannot login to my router.
I've phoned my ISP for support and they've said I need to go through Apple as it sounds like something is wrong with my router.
Any help?
Cheers,
Evan

Cannot login to network account (leopard client and server)

Up until now, I have used local accounts on my leopard server. I want to start experimenting with OD prior to implementing. I created a new user account in the /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 domain, and have bound my leopard client to the server using directory utility. On the login screen, "Network Accounts Available" has a green button to the left of it. When I try and login to the server account, the login window just shakes. At first, I could enter the password and then it would prompt me for a new password. Trying to enter a new password would not allow me to login. I went back to server admin and disabled the "require new password" setting, (as well as the other good security policies)...
I have also reset the password in WGM, and made sure to disable all the security stuff there too...
Lastly, I have deleted the server in directory utility, rebooted, then added it back in, and rebooted again...
I still cannot login to the server account, the login screen just shakes
Does anyone have an idea of what settings and or logs I can check to try and narrow down what is going on?
Thanks in advance....

to close out the thread, I have working dns on my network, but I did not have dns enabled on my server. I enabled the dns service and entered just the info for my server, then assigned my server and client to use the server's ip addy as the primary dns server. Next, I created the home directory.
Once both steps were done, I was able to log in from my client to my server based account...
FYI-I found a document on afp548.com called "leopard server: advanced setup, rsync backup and automated reporting" that walks you right thru the process...Here is the link, it's a very useful doc....

thanks again boomboom_uk and woVi, your suggestions were spot on....

Cannot login with AD credentials on iMac

Greetings:
I have a brand new 27" Intel iMac that had been allowing AD logins just find until today. Now, no matter what I do, unbinding, rebooting, manually joining domain (dsconfigad), etc I cannot login using my AD credentials. This had been working flawlessly until today. I can bind to AD no problem. When I go to login with my known good account, I just get the window shake. Logging in with a local account, I see error messages in the console of:
DNS Update Failed & Enter Machine Password
The machine account is already staged in our OU. I am not clear what the DNS error is alluding to.
reading through these postings: http://www.macwindows.com/snowleopardAD.html
I tried disabling creating mobile accounts at login. However that did not fix the issue.
I believe our campus is running Win2K8 AD servers. Our campus DNS appliance is a separate box, but should know how to delegate to AD (?). The other 10.6.3 machines we have, are authenticating against AD fine.
Any ideas?

Marcus is correct - the ZAM administration accounts (ZAM 7.x) are stored (encrypted) within the ZAM database.
Within ZAM 7.x there is no way to integrate this with AD (either by LDAP referral or some kind of identity / password sync) and AFAIK no plans to add this.
I believe in the ZCM version of asset (and I hope the standalone version of ZAM10 still in dev) you set up the AD account(s) that is/are allowed Admin etc. access within ZAM, then LDAP referrals are used to authenticate via AD. I don;t know this for sure, though.

Cannot login into Here Maps on my Surface 2, but c...

OK,
here's the thing.
With the latest updates for the HERE apps, I created a HERE account. This went without problems, and on my phone all HERE/travel related apps can login and work without a problem.
I can sync and such, no issues there. Never used the Nokia account for that anyway, so no losses here ;-)
I reinstalled HERE Maps (problem with updating maps gave me a blanc screen after restarting the app) on my Surface 2, and added the maps I want again.
The app itself works, but I cannot login from within the HERE Maps app on my Surface 2. Eveytime I get the 'cannot login...' error.
The login/passwork combo does work, as I can see on my WP8.1 Lumia phone. So I'm a bit baffled why it doesn't work on my tablet. And no.... logging in with a Facebook account doesn't fly. The MS account might, but that isn't an option here.
thanks for any thoughts,
rob

Cannot login via ssh/sftp from certain clients

Hi Guys,
Strange issue here. I have a machine running 10.7.4 that I want to be able to access via sftp/ssh.
I can login into the machine in terminal using either ssh or sftp.
I cannot however login to the machine from finder via sftp. I am just told the username/password is wrong.
Equally I cannot login to the machine from certain clients on my android phone (the main reason I need sftp)
I can however login from cyberduck on the other machines I have, and from some clients on my android phone.
When a mac is denied access it gives authentication failed as the reason, when a android client is denied access it gives network communtaction issues as its reason for failing, not authentication.
From memory these issues started when smb broke for me in 10.7.3.
Can any one shed any light on this?
Cheers

Cannot login with Active Directory Account

Hello,
I am testing SnowLeopard (10.6.1) for deployment in my labs for the Spring 2010 semester. We use local home directories. This is a brand new fresh install of SL, on a freshly formatted Hard Drive.
When bound to Active Directory I can get any AD account that I've tested (5 different accounts) to authenticate except one, which happens to be my own personal AD account.
The secure.log shows these entries when I attempt to login:
Oct 9 14:18:29 mac-0017f20fc40 SecurityAgent[209]: User info context values set for ctarbox
Oct 9 14:18:29 mac-0017f20fc40 authorizationhost[208]: Failed to authenticate user <ctarbox> (tDirStatus: -14090).
Considering that I could log in with other accounts, and after resetting my AD password then still not being able to authenticate, I came to the conclusion that I had a corrupt OU in Active Directory.
I contacted one of our AD admins and had him delete both of my AD accounts: ctarbox and ctarbox1 then recreate both accounts. I still cannot login to AD with my ctarbox account.
I can still login to my current lab machines anywhere on campus running 10.5.8 with ctarbox.
I am baffled by this. I have been authenticating to Active Directory since 10.1 and have never seen anything like this.
Any idea, anyone?

I have found the solution to my problem. I have accounts in two different domains in our AD tree. I'll called these domains Domain A and Domain B.
Domain A is the primary domain for authentication to our public computing labs.
Domain B is a secondary domain for authentication to shared resources for faculty/staff.
Both accounts have the same user ID, but different passwords. In my Directory Utility>Advanced>Administrative window I have the option "Allow authentication from any domain in the forest' checked.
With this option checked Directory Utility in 10.6.1 will allow me to authenticate Domain B, but not Domain A.
With this option checked in Directory Utility in 10.5.8 just the opposite is taking place, I can authenticate to Domain A, but not Domain B.
It seems that somewhere in the upgrade to 10.6.1 the search policy for Active Directory has changed. My workaround is to uncheck this option and specifically choose Domain A in the search policy.

Cannot login on boot, can login through chroot

I have an Arch install and when I boot I get a LightDM webkit greeter I set up. However, every time i try to log in, it says my pasword is incorrect.
The same happens when I use TTY2 and I cannot login as my user or as root.
However, when I log into my other arch system i have installed and chroot in, it works and I can su -l myuser to log in.
/etc/shadow contains entries for both accounts.
/etc/passwd has the shell as /bin/bash
When I try passwd root or passwd myuser it doesn't ask for my previous password, just the new one twice.
Does anybody know why this happens and how I can fix it?

yaourt wrote:When I try passwd root or passwd myuser it doesn't ask for my previous password, just the new one twice.
That's normal if you are invoking passwd as root user.
yaourt wrote:However, every time i try to log in, it says my pasword is incorrect.
Do as ewaller suggested and try to see if there is something interesting in the journal. However, are you sure that the keyboard layout that you use at login is the same you used when you set the password?

Cannot Login to Read Only Domain Controller

One of my Read Only Domain Controller Servers shut down unexpectedly due to a power outage and now I cannot login to it anymore. When the server powered on again, it came up with an error regarding on of the hard drives failing (RAID1)
I get a message Access is Denied when I try to login with one of my domain admin accounts. As it is a RODC, there are no local accounts for me to use. The RODC is running on Windows Server 2008 R2. The server is also running as a DHCP/Print/File server for
the office so these are not working as well.
I checked my PDC and it is coming up with the following error in the event viewer
Log Name: System
Source: Security-Kerberos
Event ID: 4
Level: Error
The Kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server rodc01$. The target name used was domain/rodc01.domain.local. This indicates that the target server failed to decrypt
the ticket provided by the client. This can occur when the target server principal name (SPN) is registered on an account other than the account the target service is using. Please ensure that the target SPN is registered on, and only registered on, the account
used by the server. This error can also happen when the target service is using a different password for the target service account than what the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) has for the target service account. Please ensure that the service on the
server and the KDC are both updated to use the current password. If the server name is not fully qualified, and the target domain (domain.local) is different from the client domain (domain.local), check if there are identically named server accounts in these
two domains, or use the fully-qualified name to identify the server.
I have tried to reset the computer password with netdom but I get the following error
netdom resetpwd /server:rodc01 /userd:administrator /passwordd:*
The machine account password for the local machine could not be reset.
Logon Failure: The target account name is incorrect.
The command failed to complete successfully.
If I try to reset the password using the IP address instead, I get the following error
netdom resetpwd /server:192.168.10.1 /userd:administrator /passwordd:*
The machine account password for the local machine could not be reset.
Access is denied.
The command failed to complete successfully.
I checked my AD and DNS and the rodc object is present
If I run repadmin /replsum on the PDC I get the message for the faulty RODC server
Experienced the following operational errors trying to retrieve replication information:
8341 – rodc01.domain.local
Any advice is appreciated
Thanks

Logon to the server in Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM) using the password you supplied during DCPROMO and verify that the Active Directory database isn't corrupted on the RODC - You will most likely see indications on this in the Directory
Services log.

Cannot login to iCloud with Yosemite

Hi everybody,
a few weeks ago I updated my iMac to Yosemite. It all works fine except that I cannot login to iCloud with my wife's account.
When she logs in into her iMac account it sometimes appears a Mac configuration screen. It seems that everything's ok, because
the configuration finishes without error message, but when I look into the System Preferences -> iCloud her iCloud account is not active.
When I try to login with her ID a message appears "You can't sign in at this time. Please try again later."
It also doesn't work when I go into the System Preferences -> Internet Accounts and try there to login into iCloud.
It really bothers me because I didn't find a solution. And also I don't understand why it works with mit ID on my iMac account.
There is no problem to login with her ID on the Apple page, I've already tried that.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
1. Sign out of your account
(If you are unable to do this because System Preferences has frozen, Force Quit System Preferences and try again)
2. When prompted, opt to delete, contacts, calendars etc from your Mac.
(You are only deleting this data from your Mac, not from iCloud, the data will be reinstated when you log back in. If you need to check that the data is in iCloud before deleting it go to iCloud.com and check each section for data)
3. Having logged out, check that the iCloud accounts along with their data have disappeared from the Mail, Address Book and iCal Applications.
(If necessary, delete the iCloud accounts from each of these application separately from each Applications Preferences)
4. At this point it may be worth trying to log into iCloud from the System Preferences iCloud settings again, if this works, all well and good, if it doesn't continue to step 5.
5. Open your User Library folder in the Finder. (When in the Finder, go to the Go menu, hold down the option key (alt) and choose Library when it appears in the Go menu)
6. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iCloud and drag the iCloud folder to your desktop. (This action only copies the folder and will provide you with a back up)
7. Select the iCloud folder again in Library > Application Support and drag it to the trash, enter your administrators password when prompted.
8. Restart your computer.
9. You should now be able to enter your ID and Password in system Preferences > iCloud and log into your account. Check the services you wish to use and once you are satisfied it's working as it should, trash the iCloud folder you copied to your desktop earlier.
