ICloud always asks for password following email change?

I recently changed my apple email.
But the iCloud on my macbook pro (2009; running Mavericks) will not recognize the new email as being the one for iCloud.
It continuously interrupts what I'm doing and asks for my password.
Any suggestions on how to solve this?
Cheers.
Taz

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Exactly which password are you inputting? iCloud looks for your AppleID password.

Every time I launch itunes it always asks for password

Every time I launch iTunes it always asks for password. I have no pending downloads or app updates. Nothing. There is no downloads plist to delete, no preferences to set - Fed up wth this. Been searching for answer for months. iTunes Store help just gives the runaround.

Good idea, thanks, but no, that didn't solve it. Any other thoughts?

Cannot setup email account always asking for password

Just got the IPad3 and setting up my email account. I tried setting it up the same way as my IPhone. Had the email account and password entered but when I exit, it gives me a message saying that it may not be able to send or received mail. I don't know what else is missing from the setup.
When I try to open my email, it always asks for the password, entered the password again but does not open my email.
Please help.
Thank you.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

HT1277 Can't sync my icloud with mail... always ask for password

Can't sync my icloud with mail... always ask for password

You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

My computer is always asking for passwords

When I turn on my Mac it´s always asking for my iCloud and Keychain password. I don´t know what is happening, even if I introduce my password it will ask me again...

Have you changed your password lately? If so, you should reset your keychain.

Finder always asks for password in Documents

When I try to make a new document, to save something or to edit something in my \Documents folder, Finder always asks for a password.
Saving in another program to the Documents folder isn't possible because the program can't write to the folder and just says ACCESS DENIED (Final Cut Express).
I checked the permissions of the Documents folder and it says User (me) Read and write and everyone (No access). What should I do to make my Documents folder somewhat more accessable?

Odd, but it worked. Thanks! The folder now behaves as it used to.
But nothing changed in the Permissions, which I think is odd.
Shouldn't Apple make a easier way to do this?
ah, yes, that's a good point, oft discussed on this forum. the problem is that there are a lot of ACLs like those "everyone deny delete" ones that were preventing you from modifying items in Documents that are completely invisible from GUI. as a result you look at the permissions panel and think that everything is normal when in fact there may be a number of ACLs present. this is a terrible design decision by Apple. one can only hope it will be addressed in future versions of OS X.

CVS always asks for password

Whenever I contact the CVS server (over at Sourceforge) JDev always asks for the password to the server. Is there a way I can make JDev store this password in some way?
I use the CVS-executable in TortoiseCVS and also use the TortoisePlink executable as the ssh client. Everything works just perfect, it's just really annoying to have to type in my password for every little CVS activity.
Any solutions?

The user is in the best position to decide if there is a security issue with persisting the password in JDeveloper or not.
I had this problem too. There is obviously a conflict in requirements of security vs usability so really, you should warn the user but let the user decide how to configure it and let him take responsibility.
JDeveloper should interoperate with the user's environment, within reason, and not make him change it.
Note, the HTTP proxy login has a similar problem. Not every time, but often when JDeveloper goes to the www it re-asks for the proxy password.
I dont care if JDeveloper stores either password in the clear in its XML configuration files, as long as it remembers them. It can warn me but it should do it if I tell it to ignore the risk. Then I can get on with my development job rather than having to reconfigure my CVS server or www proxy which are not mine to reconfigure anyway.

Simon.

When iTunesDropper asks for password to make changes the password is not accepted. How do I resolve this?

I have upgraded to iTunesDropper and now the request for a password to allow iTunesDropper to make changes will not work. How can I resolve this?

There was a typo in the original question which should have read "I have upgraded to Yosemite and now when iTunesDropper asks for permission to make changes the password is accepted but the window does not goes away and the permission does not appear to be granted". How can I resolve this?

(iOS 7) iCloud keeps asking for password when performing a backup

Hi everyone
since upgrading my iPad and iPhone to iOS 7, everytime the daily backup to iCloud is about to start, the password popup kicks in and I'm prompted to type it in .
I've tried already to sign out and sign in again but still this problem is affecting me. Both iPhone and iPad share the same account
Thank for you help

icloud will ask for pwd at night which is when i plug in.
it seems to still run backups as it ran last night.
however twice now when I have it plugged in during the day and enter my icloud password i'll lose all my contacts. have to power off/power on and they eventually sync back.
really annoying.
i'll try quitting high mem apps before plugging in.. maybe that will help

Hello kaikox,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. When you restore an iCloud backup, you may be asked for the passwords for other Apple ID accounts to restore purchases. If you had a song, movie, or anything else that was purchased with this person’s Apple ID - and then synced to your device - that would be the reason you are seeing this prompt. For more information, see the following:
iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521
You may be asked to enter passwords for iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store accounts to restore purchased items.
Note: this prompt does not mean that the person has access to your account or any of your personal information. However, if you have any concerns you can always change your Apple ID password.
Cheers,
Matt M.

Computer asking for password to make changes to root directory, system and Library.

My computer is asking for my password to make any changes to the root directory, system and Library folders, and and sub folders within those. I dont recall it doing this in the past. I am logged in as the Administrator.

That's normal.

Rsync always asks for password

Hi everyone,
I know nothing about mac I have just got my new Air.
I have a small network in the office and I have some remote servers as well. I upload from my office servers(kirk or spock) to my remote server(Neptune,Saturn,Eris). All servers are Fedora 7.
I use the same key(rsync-mykey-key) to communicate to all servers cause I am lazy!
This is the command I normally use to go from Fedora(kirk)--> Fedora(Neptune)
*rsync -Pza -e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/rsync-mykey-key" /home/ [email protected]:/home/*
I am trying to go from my Macbook Air to Neptune.
I have put rsync-mykey-key into ~.ssh and added it to authorized_keys.
BUT when I type in Terminal *ssh -i /root/.ssh/rsync-mykey-key 123.456.789.011* or *rsync -Pza -e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/rsync-mykey-key" /home/ [email protected]:/home/* +it keeps asking for my password!!+
Any ideas why?
Cheers
John

I'm not too well versed in using authentication key files, but yeah, that's what I mean. Since you're running rsync through ssh, you should be able to run ssh in a similar way by itself. If that is supposed to access the key file and somehow doesnt then you know it's gotta be ssh as opposed to rsync.

Mail, always asks for password.. it's driving me crazy!

Lately my mail (2.1.3 version) icon bounces up and down when open, and a box pops up saying:
Enter password for account "POP account". The POP server"..." rejected the password for user "...." please re-enter your password, or cancel. Remember this password in my keychain.
I enter my password and ask it to remember it. It works fine for a short while before stalling then getting me to enter the password again. This is a new development and it worked fine before. Has anyone else experienced this? I have tried to look into mail prefs. to see if there is any adjustments to be made, but there seems to be none . The thing is even bouncing as I write this.. Thank you.

Hey guys I just posted on a similar thread about how I was able to fix the issue for me. i kept having problems with mail asking for my yahoo password. tried keychain repair, removing the account and adding it back, removing the plist file and even reinstalled 10.5 (not because of this) and the problem persist. So I went to my yahoo account settings and in to the Pop settings. There, listed were the exact configuration specs. I referenced those against my current configuration (which was Apple's automatic configuration) and noticed the inbound and outbound servers were missing the word "plus" in front of their respective servers addresses. Entered the correct address, and so far so good. It hasn't asked me for my password in over a week now so I think I'm safe. I would say, if you haven't already, double check your current configuration with something you find from your email provider, especially if you've used Apple's automatic setup. Hope this helps.
