ICloud rejects my password

why is the icloud server rejecting my password?

I'm having the same problem on my iMac amd MacBook Pro. I can log into iCloud via brouser, but can't get mail on MB and MBP. I called AppleCare and she refused to help unless I perchased a 30 day support for the iMac and MacBook....
What number did you call to get help.

suddenly icloud rejected my password. How do I reset my password for email?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to reset password.
However, you may wish to wait before doing this and try again later, there have been a number of recent report about email not working properly, it may well be that there is currently a server problem.

ICloud rejected my Password

iCloud Problem. I no longer get mail. Please help.
iPhone 4S : " The user name or password for " ____ " is incorrect.
iPad Gen1 : " The user name or password for " ____ " is incorrect.
iMac 2007 : "The iCloud IMAP server "p01-imap.mail.me.com" rejected the password for user "_____"
iCloud on Safari : "Cannot Load Mail " Help Apple improve by reporting this problem.
Now 12 hours without mail. I have payement pending and they are all PaperLess going thru my Mac mail.
PLEASE MAC! fix this ASAP . Thank you

After almost 5 days without email on my iMac computer and iPhone 4S, the problem seems to be gone by itself.
Corry a MobileMe Senior Advisor did replied to me that he will be taking on this case. That night my problem
was gone without any help from Apple ? coincidence or just luck ?
Unfortunately I cannot explain how it was solved, so I can't really share anything helpful to the community but
I am sure Apple knows the problem and discretely fixing it.
I will monitor mail activity on both devices and counter check using iCloud running Safari web browser.
If anything looks suspicious or I have any kind of discrepancies I will get back to the community.
In the mean time I did ask Corry to acknowledge all of the other users with the same problem as me on the Apple Community.
Thank you

ICloud rejects CORRECT password when logging in

Every time I log in to my computer (or restart), I get a window that asks me for my iCloud password. Even though I enter it correctly, the window “wiggles” and clears out the password. Multiple attempts to re-enter the password results in the same symptoms. I’ve even reset the password and tried with this new password and the same thing happens. The only way to make the window go away is to click on Cancel, not once, but twice. I know the password is correct, because I can go to iCloud.com and log in successfully. That same password also works with my Apple ID any time a password is requested, further reassuring me that I’m using the correct password. Why is it continually being rejected at login?

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.

I keep getting a message "The MobileMe IMAP server ... rejected the password for ...." I can use that password when I go to iCloud, but my e-mails won't download to my computer. What's the mix-up?

If the setting is greyed out perhaps you have restrictions enabled that would prevent someone from changing accounts. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Changes>Accounts.

Mail / iCloud rejects password on one mac but not the other

I have just upgraded my MacbookPro and my MacPro from 10.6 to 10.7.
For whatever reason - the MBP works fine and can access all my email accounts, whilst the MP is constantly rejecting the password for iCloud.
My Mobileme account was upgraded to iCloud several months ago and has been in daily use on both macs ever since.
The only difference in the upgrades is that the MBP upgrade was not a clean install, whereas the MP was installed with a clean hard drive and then all apps/data was transfered over.
Disk permissions have been repaired and that has made no difference.
Both macs are on the same network, with the same passwords and same account settings. Any suggestion how i can resolve this problem?

i solved the problem by adding a new mail account to Mail, re-inputting the email address and password, then deleting the old problematic one.
works a treat!

I'm about ready to migrate everything to google and gmail. Once again, the iCloud iMap server is rejecting my password and refusing to get my mail. This has happened dozens of times since iCloud went live. My password has NEVER been changed.

I'm about ready to migrate everything to google and gmail. Once again, the iCloud iMap server is rejecting my password and refusing to get my mail. This has happened dozens of times since iCloud went live. My password has NEVER been changed. The same password works flawlessly in iTunes store and Apple store. Somebody please give me a reason NOT to cut bait on iCloud.

iCloud Mail is down. Has been for a while. I would hope this will be resolved soon.
I agree with you. iCloud does not seem to have anywhere near a 99.9% uptime. :-)

ICloud asked me to reenter my password to get mail and when I did, it rejected my password. I'm trying to reenter in my account information, but it won't let me because the incoming mail server field is blank, but it won't allow me to enter anything.

No, didn't have to sign out. As I started to, got a messge saying something about losing all my calendar information, which unnerved me so I didn't sign out. It was correcting the password in another email account that corrected the situation for me.

My email on my mac (which has iCloud) is giving me a message that the server has rejected my password. When I go onto the internet and sign into iCloud there, the password is accepted. What am I doing wrong??

Thanks...I just spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support sorting out the password issues for my various devices!!! My password was compliant with the new rules, but there were some (mysterious) setting issues that required me to delete mail from my MacBookPro and add it back, again. All in all, it was an hour of trouble-shooting which resulted in what, I hope, is a good fix.
Thanks for your help...wishing you continued success in the support community.

Can anyone tell me why iCloud keeps rejecting my password and then all of sudden it will. It also won't load in my keychain.

The iCloud server rejects my password

As of the past 36 hours, whenever I try to get (download) my mail ("Mail" via iCloud) a pop up window appears that states...
The iCloud IMAP server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “me”
Enter your password again or cancel.
I enter the valid password (which was functioning just a few days prior), yet once again the server rejects my password. Hence, I haven't been able to retreive my mail now for going on two days.
I have not changed my password or any other data (related to iCloud or the "Mail" program in a about a year. If I recall correctly I had updated the Safari program and I think a Java or Security item the previous day.....
Can anybody (please) supply me with some information or tips on how I can retreive my mail and get this #%& program functioning properly again?

Thanks Csound1... that worked and then on a hunch I immediately opened my 'Mail' program clicked on get mail and entered the same AppleID and password and this time.... for some incredible bizarre reason, my mail program worked and displayed all of the last few days mail.
Thanks again.

HT204187 Email account does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

I have seral email accounts on my Mac. One does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

I keep trying to access my mail but MAIL keeps rejecting my password. I am an AOL user. Please advise?

I keep trying to access my mail via the MAIL icon on my MacbookPro but it keeps rejecting my password. It worked find an hour ago but all of a sudden it won't work. I tried deleting the acct and re-adding it but still the same problem. The odd thing is I can send no problem.
I am an AOL user and am entering it correctly but it keeps rejecting I can access my acct via aol no problem
Okay now it's effecting my Iphone and Ipad accts.
Please advise?

So far as I can tell this is a server overload problem and Apple is working to fix things. I have had the same thing all morning and just now it cleared up, though not with AOL, but my iCloud mail. I was, of course, typing in the correct password, so the error message one keeps getting is very misleading, as the rejection has nothing to do with the PW. I think if we are all patient things will straighten out through the day. My mail is okay as of noon, crossing my fingers, but at least it is nothing I did wrong.

Mail rejects my password

Upgraded to Lion fairly smoothly. All seems to be OK (hate the monochrome finder icons..another stupid change like removing the blue progress bar with SL) Main problem is mail rejects my password on my imac but it works fine on iphone and ipad... bloody annoying. Any solutions?

Well I was posting back to Gary for more information.I have no idea what email providers you or Gary are using and don't know what help to give. If this is a .mac or .me account and you migrated to iCloud, it could be a very different situation.
Just because you're using the same information as SL, it doesn't mean that something might have changed or is not input correctly. For your other issues, you might either follow other treads or start another.

TS4002 rejected the password

i am getting this message " The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user ...". I am getting mail fine on my iphone and Ipad, just not thru MAIL.

Was having exactly the same problem. Went to Mail Prefs and on my iCloud mail account went to Advanced. On Authentication, I changed from Password to Apple Token and it worked! Hope this works for you, too...
