I have 2 MacBooks upgraded to Mavericks. Mail on my MB Air will not accept my Exchange password. Works fine on other macbook and a mini. Any ideas?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
To be clear, are you talking about accounts set up in Apple's Mail application?

    I have an email account causes the machine to hang up after being in use for a day.  It only occurs on my Macbook Pro and only one particular account.  The problem account works fine on my iMac and Windows Machines.  I have been to the local Genius bar and through trial and error we have determined that Mail is working ok but somehow the account is causing the problem.  I have used this account for years.  Any ideas what is causing this?

    No idea why, but one thing you may try if you have the time, is create a new user, and set up the problem mail account in the new user space. See if it causes your MBP to hang as well.  That will tell you if it is something wrong with your main User, or something wrong with MBP.
    Assuming this works, I'd nuke the problem account in your main user space, re-start, and reinititate the account and see if that helps.
    Depening on how many email accounts you have setup, it may be necessary to nuke the whole Mail folder in your User/Library....   Hard way to get it to work, but just my idea.

  • Mail will not accept my apple password since setting up iCloud?

    mail will not accept my apple password since setting up iCloud?

    Hi there.
    Since my situation is very similar, rather than start a new thread, I wonder if I could jump on this one for some clarification & to see if I'm okay to proceed with the Tiger instructions you posted.
    I'm running 10.4.11 on a 17" Titanium PowerBook G4. I have a .mac e-mail address & I'm using Apple Mail.
    I migrated to iCloud several weeks ago & everything's been fine but I haven't been able to get any e-mail through all weekend.
    I logged in to iCloud a short while ago & everything seems fine.
    So could I ask whether the procedure you linked to works for .mac addresses as well as .me addresses?
    Also, can I assume that the messages that are still sitting in my inbox will still be there after I remove the existing account & create the new one, (seeing as they're synchronised with the inbox online), whilst the complex hierarchy of folders I've created locally in the mail client will remain untouched?
    Thanks!

  • My Macbook Pro is powering on in Safe Boot and will not accept the correct password

    My Macbook Pro is only powering on in Safe Boot and will not accept the correct password. What do I do to get it out of Safe Mode?

    MBP = Macbook Pro  (My shorthand)
    I think I now understand what you are describing.  This is the Apple support article on a Safe Boot:

    Note this excerpt:
    How are you starting your MBP.  Do you see a progress bar on startup?

  • My new macbook pro will not accept my wep password

    It's "broken" as in "insecure". It's not useless, but, these days, it's the next thing to useless.
    you should use either WPA or WPA2
    Absolutely. As the KB article indicated by Linc Davis says
    "Do not use WEP unless it is the only Wi-Fi security type that your device supports, and be aware that it is now very unsecure."

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks entered calendar settings will not stay applied.  Help Please!

    Since upgrading to Mavericks my entered calendar settings (alerts specifically) will not stay applied.  I am using the calendar that came installed on my MacBook Pro w/retina display.  This is an important issue for me.  I need my calendar and scheduled reminders.  I can enter an appointment which stays in place but when I enter an additional reminders and click the "apply" button the reminders I entered simply disappear.  The appointment stays but the reminders do not. 
    Thank you!
    Steve

    Thx for the star, but Barney-15E is more helpful to you.
    Show him some love too
    When you repair the permissions also repair the 'user permissions' too…

    The paragraph below the image explains how to do it in 10.7, Mavericks is similar. Don't fear the Terminal, it's just a shortcut to the reset tool that Apple hid.

  • Upgraded Blackberry Desktop software and now it will not accept my device password. What's happened?

    I've upgraded the software on my desktop and connected my Bold 9700 to my computer.  It asked me for my device password but it's not accepting it.  I'm up to 8/10 tries and I know I'll have issues if I keep trying.  I've disconnected my bb but it is still wanting a password and not accepting it.
    Also the password field on my bb is showing me the characters I'm typing in as opposed to astericks.
    I don't know what is happening and I don't want to lose all my data.  Help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I found the answer.  I was entering the wrong password and not realizing it.  sorry if i waster your time reading this.

  • My upgraded version of mail with Windstream will not work with Mozilla Firefox. Why? Works find with the old Classic but not the new version

    It switches to the Classic view but not the new view which I really like.... My laptop has Google Chrome and it has not problems with this new view of Windstream only with Mozilla Firefox 5, the other version never had any problems either...I had 3 and had no problems till I up graded....

    The longer this thread continues, the more ancillary comments you throw in that aren't directly pertinent to your problem with your DVR software not working with Firefox 4.0. Sorry, I don't intend to continue with this discussion.
    I do agree that ''something'' needs to be done better with regards to plugins for Firefox, but I do disagree with you as to whose responsibility that ''something'' is.

  • Apple Time Capsule 3TB firmware upgrade 7.7.2 will not accept "&" in wifi password.

    Recently bought 2 Apple Time Capsules to backup my laptops, macs and so on. Installation was easy, I could easily connect them to my existing wifi router in 5 minutes.
    But, they stopped working 3 days ago and I was surprised why I could not see both of them on network.
    My Seagate's GoFlex Home works beautifully in every aspect. So, I thought there is no reason that both the capsules are not working any more.
    I spent whole evening to find the problem. And, the problem was that my router's wifi password had "&" in password characters. While, "&" worked perfectly in firmware 7.7.1, both capsules could not connect anymore because they upgraded themselves to 7.7.2. So, I removed "&" from my router password and reconfigured both the capsules and they worked like a charm.
    I love them because I can put them anywhere in the house and connect to them wirelessly from any device, watch movies and so on.
    Just wanted to tell my "&" experience and help, just in case someone gets lost with the same problem.
    Long live Apple! Miss you Steve.

    My continual refrain in these forums is that Apple now is using SMB networking.. Mavericks is SMB by default.
    See http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/11/apple-shifts-from-afp-file-sharing-to- smb2-in-os-x-109-mavericks
    The rules for SMB are much tighter and people are continuing to have issues because the Apple Setup is allowing and indeed defaulting still to names with spaces and non-alphanumeric characters.
    Although the rules are not as tight as this.. my rule of thumb is short.. no more than 20 characters.. 10 even better.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric. For the least issues with networks.
    Passwords should be 10-20 character mix of upper and lower case with numbers.. ie still pure alphanumeric.
    All names and passwords should follow.. except if you are really paranoid you can use passwords longer than 20 characters.
