I have Google 2-Step Authentication, which is causing problems in Apple's Mail program, any advice?

I have Google 2-step authentication on my Gmail accounts, and until recently have used it with no problems whatsoever.  What you have to do is generate an "application specific password" for apps where you cannot enter you "google authentication code".  I generated the password to use with my Apple Mail program that comes as the default on Mac OS, however every time I get on my computer it asks for the password again.  This must be a problem with the software, because I use it with no problems on my Iphone.  Any ideas or solutions?
Thanks!!!

    Hi,
    When Zeen's battery level goes below 5 %; it tends to Reset to Default where it looses all the connections and sync to the printer or router.
    So its very important to make sure that Zeen's battery does not go to low. To avoid this I would suggest to charge Zeen regularly.
    You may try the steps below as of now and check the results.
    We need to Factory Reset the Zeen making sure it is connected (Docked) on the C510a printer.
    Once it is docked try the steps below:-

    Open the above link; and then perform the Factory Reset as shown in Solution Two.
    Once completed try connecting to Wireless and check the results.

    If you are looking for high quality drives and enclosures I'd recommend these 3:

    Hi bluebanana 66,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    There are a few reasons why you might receive this message after installing iTunes. You may need to verify that iTunes has been completely removed before trying to install again. See this article for the steps to completely remove and reinstall iTunes:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • Clicking on an e-mail address will NOT open Windows Live Mail which is already the default mail program which is already set as the default mail program

    Clicking on an e-mail address will NOT open Windows Live Mail. Windows Live mail is already set as my default e-mail program.

    Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.
    When you reinstall, were you making Firefox your default browser? Some users have reported that ''not'' making Firefox the default browser was an effective workaround.
    However, you may have success with this approach, suggested by a user in another thread, which appears to more thoroughly update the Windows registry:
    # Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat
    # Edit->Preferences
    # In the Categories column click 'General'
    # Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
    # In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
    # A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
    Does that resolve the issue for you?

  • Google 2 Step Verification on Gmail causing 10.9 issues with iCloud Keychain Sync?

    Hi
    I have just installed 10.9 on my Air 2011 and it works fine. I signed up the iCloud Keychain sync. I also updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.3 and also signed up for iCloud keychain sync. All appeared well until I set up my iMac 2009. This had the same email accounts setup but as POP not IMAP (my bad) and so I ended up with multiple email account copies everywhere. I corrected this on each device without issue. Managed to lock an exchange account for work but I can sort that through IT support tomorrow. Anyway an issue with my Gmail cropped up. As I have 2 step verification enabled I have application specific passwords for each device. Now I found that the iMac (last to move to 10.9) propagated its app specific password to the Air and then locked the Gmail access out. If I correct on the Air it propagates back to the iMac locking that out of my Gmail account.
    So iCloud Keychain sync only seems to support one password for each email account.
    The only option I can see is disable 2 step on gmail and revert to my account password rather than an app specific password.
    Has anyone had a similar issue?
    Has anyone managed to get a solution where gmail 2 step can be retained?
    Is there a way to block certain accounts from participating in the iCloud Keychain sync?
    Is there a way to force the same app specific password on multiple gmail accessing devices?
    Any help welcomed.
    Thanks

    Yep. My other iMac works now too on App specific passwords and iCloud Keychain sync. So that is my iPad, iPhone, Mac Pro, Air, iMac 2012 all working fine on Gmail App Specific passwords. Just my iMac 2009, presume its my bad and in need of a revoke. Sorry for wasting all your time.

  • I have a photosmart c309 premium fax series. my problem is that it wont print any color.

    I have replaced the printhead with a new one. replaced all cartridges with new hp cartridges still no luck. this is really getting terrible since I have spent so much money on this. I have had it just over a year, and of course the warranty is done on it.

    citytocity,
    You may want to try a hard reset if you haven't already.
    Here are the steps below provided by bassergitz on this post.
    Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull
    the power cord from the printer then from the
    wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to wall
    and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power up’
    and restore the printer to a known good
    condition (if it is possible). No user settings are
    lost with a ‘hard reset’.
    If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!

  • How can I delete an enormous amount of e-mails from my computer.  I have the Apple e-mail program, and threesome to be too many to delete.  Any ideas how?

    I have thousands of e-mails in my in box such that 'select all' will not work. 

    Click the first email. Scroll down a ways and hold the Shift key while you click an email way down the list. This selects that group of email. Tap the Delete key to delete that group. Repeat as often as needed until Select All works.

  • I can't download updates for Firefox (which is causing problems,) because Bitdefender 2011 says it's toolbar is incompatible or something. :( Any suggestions?

    I'm having trouble with internet speed/crashing/"timing out"/etc., and keep getting reminders to update Firefox, but every time I try to update it, it goes through the motions, and then Bitdefender 2011 gives me a message saying that Firefox's toolbar is incompatible or something, and so it wasn't installed. :(
    Is anyone else having this problem, and, if so, is there a way to update Firefox WITHOUT taking virus protection off of my computer, or having to change to Explorer or Safari?
    My ISP told me that I should update my DSL box and router to THEIR newest version (at CenturyLink,) and use Explorer, and that would take care of the problem. :(
    I'm not sure about the DSL box and Netgear WIFI's connection to Explorer vs. Firefox, but I have always heard that Explorer had a higher virus rate than Firefox or Safari, so...really don't WANT to switch if I can possibly FIX the constant problems. :(
    ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thank you!

    I am connected to the internet via a wireless network set up in my home. There are two other PCs connected to the network, one a desktop and the other a laptop. Neither have had any problems using or connecting to the internet. I have a DSL connection. I have tried to directly connect with the router with an ethernet cable, but the same thing happens.
