ICal error  "server did not recognize your user name"

I recently was added to the MobileMe calendar beta, and now my iCal calendar doesn't sync with MobileMe. iPhone works fine. Error message when I launch iCal says "server did not recognize your user name"
Any thoughts, suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Error in iCal: The server did not recognize your user name or password for account "Gmail."

    To keep my iCal up to date on two computers, I export an Archive in one and import it to the other. Yes, I know I should use the Cloud, but humour me.
    Export of iCal from my MacBook Air (OS 10.7.5) no longer works when imported to my desktop (OS 10.6.8). It returns an error saying "The server did not recognize your user name or password for account “Gmail.” Make sure you enter them correctly."
    After dismissing this dialogue box twice (it offers no other options, iCal crashes.
    I've turned off the option on my MacBook that asks to use my Gmail account, but since I can no longer launch iCal on my desktop, it can't import new data. How can I clean out the brain of iCal on the desktop so that it will open -- blank -- and perhaps accept a new version of my iCal data?
    Thanks,
    Bruce

  • ICal pop-up message .. The server did not recognize your user name or passw

    I'm having a problem with pop-up boxes when I launch iCal. They indicate the following;
    "The server responded with an error. The server did not recognize your user name or password for account “[email protected]” Make sure you enter them correctly."
    I recently let my MobileMe account expire as I was not using it that much. As a result, I think this issue is occuring, though I don;t know how to fix it. The same is happening on my iPhone when I attempt to receive eMails from a secondary eMail account.
    I would appreciate any help that anyone can provide.
    Thank you !! Kenneth

    A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
    https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
    https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
    On the iPhone, tap Settings.
    Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
    Tap Add Account.
    Tap Other.
    Tap Add Mail Account.
    Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
    Click Next.
    Ensure IMAP is selected.
    Enter the following incoming mail server information:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail.
    Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
    Tap Next.
    The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
    That’s all!

  • I bought a new McBook Pro and when I backed up from my old computer, the iCal on my new computer is not syncing. It says "The server did not recognize your user name or password for (name of my mobile me acct). Make sure you enter them correctly."

  • ICal pop-up when I open: The server did not recognize your user name or password for account. Make sure you enter them correctly.

    The server did not recognize your user name or password for account. Make sure you enter them correctly.
    I am getting this pop-up whenever I open iCal. Recently changed Google password. What has gone wrong?

    You really should not post your email address to a public forum such as this where it can be harvested by spammers. I requested the Hosts edit it for your protection.

  • Please help  I am suddenly getting the following on my calendar  The server did not recognize your user name or password for account "..." Make sure you enter them correctly.  I depend on it for work

    Please help  I am suddenly getting the following from my calendar  The server did not recognize your user name or password for account “...” Make sure you enter them correctly.I have even tried changing the password and no luck.  I depend on it syncing with mobile me and my phone and I need it for work.

    I have been having the same issue but I think I fixed my problem.  In iCal, click iCal, Preferences, Accounts and retype your password.  That seems to have done the trick for me as far as I can tell.

  • The email server did not recognize your user name/password combination

    email server did not recognized your username/password combination

    I found that by turning of the SSL option at the bottom of the Accounts panel did the trick.

  • ICal error:  Server does not recognize your password

    Today I opened iCal on my iMac and I get an immediate error message saying that the "server does not recognize my password for my user name and says to make sure that it's entered correctly." I went to MobileMe in System Settings and everything was OK. I was able to see it on the MobileMe website but it still gives me the error message when I open iCal.

    Today, I had this exact same issue. What helped was quitting iCal, deleting the cal.me.com password in keychain, starting iCal again, then entering it again in iCal preferences. It started syncing right after that.
    People who don't have the cal.me.com password should check their general mobile me settings.
    Ghostlarke: if you sync your calenders, you ARE using MobileMe.

  • The Server responded with an error...did not recognize your user name etc

    On one of my Macs, I am constantly getting this message and iCal will not sync. I have signed out of .Me and back in again. I know I am signing in correctly, but this will not go away.
    I could do with some suggestions please - very much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Chris

    AppleMan - you're a star! Thank you very much. Bit late in coming to the rescue - just like the Cavalry always was, allegedly - but nevertheless very welcome. It has sorted the problem out for me, and probably many others who, like me, did not know that there was an empty box waiting for the Password!
    Cheers and thanks. Case closed

  • TS3276 I receive a pop up from ICal saying the server does not recognize me user name and password.  This started yesterday.  I have no problems with receiving or sending emails through Mail

    I receive a pop-up from ICal saying the server does not recognize my user name and password for my me.com email address.  This started yesterday and occurs about every 5 minutes or so.  There are no problems with receiving or sending email through Mail.  I did change me email password several days ago but have no problems sending/receiving since then.

    I fixed the problem.  I opened Preferences in ICal and entered my new password.  No more pop-ups

  • The email server did not recognize  your username/ password combinations

    i recieved this alert:the email server did not recognize  your username/ password combinations. everytime when i sending a photo from iphoto? how do i solve it please?

    iPhoto preferences ==> accounts
    Of IMHO better yet set Apple Mail as the e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences

  • Email server didn't recognize your user name

    Just lately - when trying to email a photo in iPhoto ~ I get this message: email server didn't recognize your user name/password combo. I have googled and checked Preferences. I have tried to reset each of the passwords in each email account I have set up with iPhoto ~ facebook, gmail and iCloud. Nothing helps.
    Any other ideas? Thanks!!

    Delete the accounts from iPhoto and add them back.
    If you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate a new "application-specific password" in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.

  • I need to forward some photos and I keep getting this message " the email server didn't recognize your user name or password.

    In trying to forward some photos, I keep getting the message:
    The email server didn't recognize your user name
    and password.

    First go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account that's there.  Close iPhoto, reopen and add your email account to the Accounts preference pane and try again.
    Next, and IMO the better solution, set Mail are the email client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preference pane:
    This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy and, if you need a layout like iPhoto gives you, similar layouts in iPhoto's stationary option.

  • BC Ecommerce SOAP Error: Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction

    I am trying to add a product to an ecommerce site with this soap action: Product_UpdateInsert
    I have followed this very brief instruction: https://jollyrogers.worldsecuresystems.com/catalystwebservice/catalystecommercewebservice. asmx?op=Product_UpdateInsert
    I have a html page in a secure area with a jQuery ajax soap script.
    I get the this error when I run the script:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode><faultstring>Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: https://jollyrogers.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystDeveloperService/CatalystEcommerceWebse rvice/Product_UpdateInsert.</faultstring><detail /></soap:Fault></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
    I have also tried to add a header with the Soap action with the beforeSend in the ajax call.
    This must have been solved before I suppose?
    Here is my script:
