ICal sync prompts password which doesn't work

Dear support team,
Whenever my computer iCal syncs to my MobileMe, and thus to my iPhone, I get a prompt for a password that reads "Enter the password for your user account on 'End User's Computer'." When I type in my user account password it says "Sorry, you entered an invalid password. Please try again." I then type my keychain password and get the same message. I type my MobileMe password and get the same message, again. I have no other passwords to try. When I check iCal on my computer and phone, I see that the sync on iCal worked, regardless. Other than being annoying, the password prompt interupts FCP layoffs. So I set sync to manual, but forget to sync before I run to a location shoot with the incorrect unsynced info on my iPhone. I endeavor to find a solution.
One of the articles on this site instructed me to use Keychain First Aid in Keychain Access. To verify keychain issues, it prompts for my user login password, which works. It then says that there was an error, which I then repair. I test the hopeful result by syncing to iCalendar, but get the same interrupting password prompt. Another article instructs to unlock the "login" and "System" keychains, in Keychain Access, to do something there. I had unlocked and snooped around both, before consulting the sites, but now my user login password no longer works to unlock the "login" keychain, and neither do my other two passwords. Oddly, my user login password works just fine opening the "System" keychain My safari keychain locks and unlocks just fine with it's password. I go back to First Aid and see that my user password works just fine, and see that there are no errors in the keychain system, but I'm now afraid to shut down my computer fearing that I won't be able to login ever again. I'm thinking about following another discussion instruction to reboot the entire computer with the original Leopard OS disk, but that feels like a last resort headache. I could pack up the entire computer and bringing it to the nearest Apple Store Genius Bar, but that will take half a day.
I just followed a support instruction to reset the login keychain I was unable to open, restarted and tried the iCal sync with the same result as before. I can't think of anything else.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Just fixed it by going to MobileMe Sync Preferences and unchecking the box for keychain sync. No more password prompts that say "Invalid." Now the iCal on both computer and iPhone sync without interruption of work flow. I had originally checked the box to sync keychains so that I wouldn't have to type in ID's and passwords to enter sites on my iPhone. Big glitch in the system. Why have the box to check if it creates problems? Hopefully they'll fix it once, or if, they become aware.
Thanks for letting me think aloud.
Peace

What just happened? HD password suddenly doesn't work...

Alright this is a tricky one. W520 w/ Intel SSD.
I've got a Supervisor (SPV) password set for my BIOS as well as a HD password set.
I don't think I had a Power-on password set but I'm not sure.
No problems, my password has always worked.
I'm working and I have my laptop plugged into my LAN via Ethernet and I shut down. I always use wireless but was working with my router settings so had it plugged in via Ethernet this time.
When I start up, it started trying to boot from LAN, I see the Intel Boot manager start up (screen saying Press Ctrl + S to change options), and of course there is nothing on my LAN to PXE boot from so it proceeds after failing.
Then it asks for my Supervisor password, I enter it, works, asks for my HD password, I enter it, doesn't work. I try again, doesn't work. Try a third time, locks me out. I restart the machine.
The next time it asks for my HD password first rather than my Supervisor password, which doesn't work again. I reboot again.
Third time through this charade and for some reason the HD password works now but only to get me into the BIOS -- meaning I've pressed F1 and it asks for my password and lets me into the BIOS settings.
From here I try to remove the User password on the hard drive but it does not accept the password -- the same password I just entered and it accepted.
Now I'm not fat fingering or anything, the password is simple and I'm making sure I'm typing it in exactly correct.
So somehow powering off and powering on with my Ethernet cable connected has majorly screwed up my passwords in the BIOS. I think it was set to re-order boot devices if Wake-on-LAN was enabled or something, but something in that process must have screwed up my BIOS config. I don't know what to do. I don't understand what the heck is happening here. Password works then all of a sudden doesn't?

But the real question is why for the past year did the passwords work and then all of the sudden after this anomaly the disk password doesn't work? I'm not 100% sure of what my configuration was, but I know that most of the time it required one password -- supervisor, and occasionally it asked for 2 -- disk password as well I believe. This may have been related to the Password on Restart setting I think -- asking for the disk password on cold vs. warm boot. But I know both were exactly the same. But after this incident only the Supervisor password worked.

Since updating my iPad 2 to ios8, it safari has been slow and crashing and some of the apps acting wierd. The password app doesn't work at all so had to find another way of retrieving all my passwords. Very very dissapointing

Hi erastyle,
Actually the Licensing information for the package is missing hence it is not launching any applications. You need to Reserialize the products using APTEE which you can find it on the Machine where you have created the package. If you dont have the access to that Machine then please download and install Creative Cloud Packager and it will download APTEE in the below mentioned location.
Windows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities
Once downloaded please follow this KB article to use the Tool.

New laptop & OS (Win8); have Pro 7 which doesn't work...what do I update to?

I have a new laptop with Windows 8 and have tried to download Acrobat Pro Ver 7, which doesn't work on Win 8 as I've found out. What do I need to update to for a compatible program? Do I have to buy an entirely new product or can I just upgrade?

Thanks Klaus,
It's a long time since I installed a new OS but I thought you had to go through registration before it would work. You certainly have to supply your name and address, and then it prompts you to register. Will it let you skip that step?
If the new owner can do that, why would he need the install disks? And how do I get through to the right person at Apple?

Yesterday, when I brought my laptop back from sleep, I tried to check my e-mail with the Mail app like I always do. But there was the lightning bolt sign next to the inbox, and the pop-up asked me to input my password, which didn't work. It says mail.mac.

Yesterday, when I brought my laptop back from sleep, I tried to check my e-mail with the Mail app like I always do. But there was the lightning bolt sign next to the inbox, and the pop-up asked me to input my password, which didn't work. It says mail.mac.com has rejected my password. The password is correct (I'm able to check my e-mail through my browser at me.com), but for some reason Mail keeps on rejecting it. I usually don't have to input my password at all in Mail. Any clue how to fix this? I haven't changed anything at all on my laptop.

I did change my apple ID password though...

LastPass password manager doesn't work with latest Firefox after downloading add-in, installing it and re-starting Firefox.

I'm using FireFox 20.0. I downloaded the add-in, installed it and re-started FireFox but LastPass doesn't show up in the add-ins nor does it fill in the login info on sites that I have in my LastPass vault.

What I've done is make LastPass my home site so when I launch FireFox, I log into LastPass and leave the LastPass vault page in an open tab. Then when I log into another site which requires a login and password which I've previously set up in LastPass, LastPass logs me into that site automatically. LastPass is a free password manager that works well in IE. Any time LastPass detects a login page, it enables you to set up the password and ID in its database and fills in the login info at future login prompts. My solution for FireFox is a bit clunky but when I need to use a second browser, it works.

Icloud password suddenly doesn't work on my mac

My apple user name and password haven't been changed at all for a long time. I have used it to access icloud and the itunes and everything.
But suddenly the password doesn't work 'on my mac.'
However it still works fine when I access icloud.com from my same computer.
But when I try to "manage my account" from system preferences (icloud), it doesn't work.
And also, when I access the itunes store from my same computer it doesn't work.
There are no error messages-- when I type in the password and press return it just reverts to the same page in which the password field is empty.
OSX 10.9.4
Thanks in advance for any help!

I got this advice from BDAqua.
If it's never worked since moving to Mexico I think they'll have to call Apple...
Mexico... 001-866-676-5682
Before you call, have your serial number ready. Or start your support request online and we'll connect you to an expert.
Contact Apple for support and service
I'm sure it's some international rights/copyright type thing.
Try that, if the problem is new since you upgraded to Mavericks.

WiFi Sync with iOS 5 doesn't work with Airport Express used as a wifi extender?

So in our apartment we have an Airport base station that doesn't reach all the way to the bedrooms, so we use an Airport Express as a wifi extender/repeater. The Wifi sync doesn't work when connected to the Airport Express. My iPhone and iTunes can't find each other. But if I'm sitting next to the base station it works just fine. Is there a workaround for this to get wifi sync working in my bedroom? I've updated both Airports to the latest firmware versions.
Thanks
Byron

Well, never mind. It magically started working.

Workaround for browse which doesn't work upon login

I've seen this post here before that the browse feature doesn't work when you first launch the web player in Windows. I use the web player with Spotify Unlimited on a laptop running Windows 7. I seem to get a new release nearly every day, and this problem persisits. So what you can do is launch the application, log in, close the application, (you won't be able to log out and it won't matter anyway). Then wait a few minutes or you'll get the dialog box The spotify application is not responding. Then re-launch Spotify and the browse feature will work.

Hi Rick -
I do not have multiple versions of RoboHelp installed on my machine. The browse sequence worked with a new project, but it won't work with my established project (which has "exclude" conditional tags for some topics in several folders and some folders that are excluded all together). I do have more than one window definition, but the only one that is used is the "secondary" window. I attempted to enable browse sequence for both (main and secondary), but it still would not work. My primary layout is Microsoft HTML Help. The project is NOT in source control. I inherited the project, which had multiple tech writers building it since 2002. Also, since attempting to enable a browse sequence, the project opens very, very slowly. So I removed the browse sequence and performance increase somewhat, but it takes a long time to open. The project is not that large - 900 topics. Any additional thoughts . . .
Regards,
Denise

Subject: Browse sequence doesn't work in project
Hello again
By chance do you have multiple versions of RoboHelp installed? I do and I'm unable to coax the Browse Sequence bar into a CHM I compile using RoboHelp 8.
You may be onto a bug. I'd strongly encourage you to report as same to Adobe. (Link is in my sig line)
A parting question here. Does it show if you create a new project?
Ohhh, and another question or two just popped in.
Do you have more than one Window definition?
Is your primary layout configured to be Microsoft HTML Help?
Cheers... Rick

ITunes sync in iOS 5 doesn't work at all!!!!

I have it enabled on my Mac... But it doesn't work... I actually have to plug it into the computer for it to work.
I thought the point of iOS 5 was to be able to "cut the cord"!!!!!!!!!

Have you enabled it on the iPhone/iPod Touch and iTunes
Once you have done this you need to ensure they are on the same WIFI network, If you have less than 50% power on the device then plug it into the mains.
You can then force the first sync in the settings>general>iTunes Wi-Fi Sync menu
lt me know if you get anywhere

Merging project (sync 2 library's) doesn't work anymore.

Hello,
I have a Mbp and an Imac
Whenever I want to export a project as a new library (on the mbp) and then import this in my Imac's aperture library,the merging doesn't work anymore!
I have just updated aperture to the latest version.
Before updating this worked excellent! And my library on the iMac is almost the same as on my mbp.
Now, whenever I transport a project from one library to the other, it does not merge (however I can choose that?!) When I do, my mac is running, and after finnishing I don't see anything new projects (or photo's) I've imported. When I choose "ad" then all is ok. But the new project is placed in a new folder (duplicated!) so after importing I have 2 folders 2012 ? That way I have to move the project to the 2012 folder and removing the 2012(1) folder.
Now, when I make changes and want updating in my other library,it does sync at all, and I must "add" the project again to see the difference? That way I all have duplicates.
I've tried repairing permissions,repair database and rebuilding the databases. Nothing helped
When I import the exported project in a new library I created, then all is ok.
My library is build as follow:
I import files in a new project (most managed files, previous years as refferenced on my HD)
This project I placed in folders (year) (most managed files, previous years as refferenced on my HD)
MBP early 2011. 750GB OSX 10.8.2 Aperture latest version (3.4.2)
Imac OSX 10.8.2, Aperture 3.4.2
I have a backup on my time machine, both mbp and iMac
Please advice
Excuse me for my translation, because English isn't my home language. I hope it is readable enough..;-))

Everything works well now!
I have both librarys on each mac rebuild trough merge the library in an compleet new one.
(The library on my mbp was 70GB and now half of it!!! And all pictures are still present!! ) There must be something wrong with the original library!! Lots of duplicated items wich I don't seem to find!
Now I have tested, and everything works well, I can ad new projects from one mac to the other, and after editing and merging, the main library on my mac is updating every chance I made in the mbp!
It was a very long time lasting job...ppffft!
Thank you for your reply's Ernie!
I now have time to take pictures again...;-) haha
Cheers Anne

I have upgraded Acrobat Standard from version 8 through time until I am currently using version X, which doesn't work with Office 2013. Can I upgrade to version Standard XI?

Over the years I have upgraded Acrobat Standard from version 8 to currently working with version X.
However, since getting a new laptop it doesn't work with Office 2013.
Can I upgrade to Standard XI?

Upgrade pricing now only applies to version 9 and X. So if you have a retail serial number for X, you should be able to upgrade. (Or consider subscription).
