ICloud password not accepted after start Yosemite

Since a few weeks I have the following issue on my MacBook, running the latest OSx version: After starting the laptop I am asked to choose a user to unlock my hard disk (FileVault). My password is accepted. A few seconds after the desktop is shown, OSx asks my password for my iCloud account. When I enter my password, the popup screen to fill out the password keeps returning. Like it is not accepting my password. When I press Cancel, the popup screen disappears and I can work without any trouble.
Entering my iCloud password on e.g. the iCloud site or when installing an application is going ok. I am using the same iCloud account on my macbook, iPad and iPhone. On the iPad and iPhone I don't experience any problems.
How can I find out which application is asking for my iCloud account or (even better) how can I solve this problem??
I already did a password change hoping that this would solve any syncing problems. Unfortunately this didn't help.
Anyone?????????

I have this too. I had it for Facetime, but I logged out of it, but to log out of icloud i need to go into System Preferences, but it crashes every time i click on the Icloud icon. But only crashes for Icloud, everything else works fine.

User password not accepted after migration

Source: iMac Lion OSX.7.4 Destination iMac OSX6.8
Problem: user password is not accepted after migration
What I did: Tried to migrate over the LAN, but in the migration assistant the other Mac was mutually never recognized. (Did migrations several times successfully in our LAN before). Last time the LIon Mac was the destination, who is now the source.
I backupped then the user with Time machine on the Lion and installed it with the migration assistant on the Snow Leopard system. As as the password was not accepted, I repeated the backup/migration process once. No help
I reset in System Prefs/User accounts the password of that user. But cannot login either
First time, that a migration process fails for me.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Urs

The target computer itself has admin accounts thats not the problem, I can access it. The issue is that the migrated additional user account is not accessible with its password.
I have found here an istruction how to reset a password in single user mode.
http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
But that does not help either.The answer after the dscl -passwd command is that I do not have access (or similar, I don't remember)
My guess is that backward migration (Lion to Snow) causes the problem. May be I need to create the user freshly and to copy his documents manually

HomeHub 2.0 Password not accepted after factory re...

I have done several password resets after carrying out a restore to factory settings, but as I soon as I type in the new password, it does not accept it. I know for sure the password is the one to which I set it to. Is is a bug and does anybody have any solutions?
I look forward to hearing any answers.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Once you enter your chosen password (twice on initial reset) you should see the 'proceed with' button
I've just checked and its working fine for me.
When I clicked the settings tab I am not asked to put the password in.
I get
Basic Settings
This section contains the common settings that most users need to access. Some of these options are listed below.
All the rest should dispaly text
Do you see this on your PC?
What browser are you using IE, Firefox or something else?
edit
Are you clicking on the advanced settings (thats when I am asked for my password and it works for me).

Password not accepted after changing user name

I changed my user name in the system preferences -> user and groups -> advanced options.I did not change my password tho.
I then put my macbook to sleep. When I wake it, it won't accept my old password!
I did some searching online, and found solutions which work for previous versions of Mountain Lion or Lion here. OS X: Password may not be accepted after changing user's full name
However I believe I am using a 10.9.3 (I may have updated to Mavericks, I am sorry I forgot), so none of these tricks work for me.
Can someone help me out? much thanks!

Apple id password not accepted after ipad update to ios5

So I've just upgraded my iPad 2 with ios 5 and the apple id password doesn't work. I've reset the password 4 times now and still it's not accepting it. I've turned off the iPad and tried again and still no joy. Any ideas?

Well this is simular to the problem i have had in rencent log ins on apple. 1. Is the email correct? 2. Did you type the password correct? (There HAS to be an upper case letter in the pass because apple accounts' passwords REQUIRE at least one uppercase letter) If this was not helpful please try again or add more details next time.

Password not accepted after automatic software upgrade Pavilion a6863w

My pc will not accept my password since last week when an automatically downloaded took place.

What password are you talking about, log-in, bios, application and what application was updated?
For now you could always boot into Safe Mode with Command Prompt and type rstrui.exe
Follow the onscreen instructions to select a restore point prior to the update.
Please mark my post as SOLVED if it has resolved your problem. It helps others with similar situations.

ICloud password not accepted, intermittent failure and must be reset each time

So, my wife is becoming manic depressant when she tries to use her phone, computer, whatever... on icloud. It will work fine for a week or two, then suddenly the password for the same account she has had no problem with for the last 4 years doesn't work any more. I then get called in to reset her password, re-sign in all of her devices, and she and I are happy once again. This has happened a ******** amount of times, (more than 10). I have went through the entire process of resetting all of the security questions... blah, blah... tech support... turn off, sign out all devices, blah blah... turn on, sign back in, on and on... update the computer, soft reset, hard reset, "upgrade" to the new stupid operating system that she really hates, blah blah, update the phone to an even worse OS,... on and on. Honest. I've tried everything. Everything is the latest model, and software version.
Does anyone out there actually know how to fix this intermittent problem? There is no solid pattern to the time intervals. It can happen within hours, or weeks of me resetting the password and signing in.
Lately, I have spent more intimate time with my wifes Apple devices than her, and this is very disturbing for me. (and her)

Hi,
Whilst Apple IDs that end in either @mac.com or @me.com they registration pages do not tell you that if you are going to be using it as an AIM Screen Name the password has to be 16 characters otr less. (This is an AIM server limit)
At some point you will need to update the password.

New iMac 24": 2.8Mhz Password not accepted after upgrade to Leopard

I bought last week a new 24" iMac and after installing the Leopard upgrade with the disc that came in the box my password is not working anymore. I can't even run the Mac OS X install disc with the C key at restart and cannot restart the system with command-s. Any suggestion?

Password not accepted after sleep

If my Macbook Pro goes to sleep, when it wakes, it won't accept my password. The funny/horrible thing is, if I click on switch user, then select my account from the list, I can log in. This happened in 10.7 and I updated to 10.72 and it still happens.

no, it would be the instructions for a macbook pro. which one do you have (what year was it made?)
if you're has a door in which you can remove the battery, late 08 and earlier, then do this
Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
Note: Learn about removing the battery on MacBook and MacBook Pro.
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
If you have one that is from 2010 and onward and is the unibody design with the SD slot and no door on the bottom of the computer (you would have to screw off the bottom to get to the inside) then do this:
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your ownNote: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Password not accepted after system migration

Hi
I just bought my mac air. I previously had my macbook black and migrated my system through time machine. When I was in the Mac store the attendant made a name in my mac air. So it created a new account for my mac air. When I migrated my system through an external drive, it asked me to create a new name. So I did. I was able to succesfully migrate the system and updated all my files in my new mac Air, I also removed and signed out all my files in my old mac, since I was planning to give it to someone else.
Since I have 2 account name plus the guest account in my new mac air, the one that the Apple attendant made for me, and the new one which I made to put the migrated files from my old mac, I decided to delete the account that the attendant made for me. My problem is this: when the screen saver appeared and the mac air required a password, it didn't accepted any of the passwords that i previously used. This only happened when I deleted the account that the Mac Attendant made for me, and when I started to delete and sign off all my programs in my old mac. Previously my password was working fine. Now I couldn't access my mac air.
What do you think happened? I cant open my mac air, since the password couldn't be accepted.

See if any of these work for you.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting the new computer, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep. I want to use my iCloud password on both computers consistently. How can I fix this?

The only other place to change a password for the computer login is in Users & Groups preferences. But I don't really know enough here to fix your problem. You can try fixing the keychain:
iCloud- Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

Cant restore back up from iCloud as password not accepted

when trying to restore an 1phone 5s from iCloud back up my password is not accepted..i then go to iforgot, change my password retry the restore process and get the same issue.I have tried turning find phone off, starting again but still cant access back up because password not accepted.

I can't change my DNS settings. I'm trying to restore while setting up my phone. If I change the DNS settings while on the phone, and then restore the phone and try to restore from the back-up on my iCloud, it won't save that I've changed settings to use Google's public DNS. I would log onto my university's secure wifi instead of their guest wifi, but unfortunately I can't. because that involves an installation, which I can't do if I restore my phone and am trying to set it up.
