IMac keeps asking for user account password when changing Airport

Whenever I change anything in Airport (switching networks mainly) my iMac constantly prompts me to submit my user account password. All other macs don't do that. Any clues?

Suggest that if you haven't already taken the next steps....open System Preferences > Network > AirPort and delete the current wireless connection by highlighting the name of the network, then clicking the - (minus) button at the bottom of the connection list. Click OK and then Apply.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access and locate the name of the wireless network, then highlight and delete that entry.
Restart your Mac to see if that will allow you to start fresh.
If still no luck, I'm afraid it's getting down to a re-installation of the operating system on the Mac.

  • POP3 -Keep asking for user name & Password

     
    Hi,
    We have exchange 2003 server with Service pack 2. We have user who check their mails through   Outlook 2003, Outlook web access & some users are using POP3 to download the messages.
    Since last few weeks, we are getting the complained that when engineers are trying to configured users account in Outlook with POP3 configuration, its keep asking for user name & password. But with same user name & passwords user is able to check their mail through Outlook web access.
    In some of our site, users are able to download messages through pop3 account but this account was configured long back.
    Kindly advise.

    HI,
    This is happening mainly when
    1. user changed his password through Outlook web access next time its keep poping up for password & it will not accept the new passord.
    2. if user is using  OWA & when we try to configured his mail in Outlool with POP3 .
    See if i remove exchange attributes from user's account & then delete the users from AD & Recreated with same  user name, Password & reconnected  to that user to his old mailbox, it;s work fine.
    Regards,
    Chetan
    POP3 is enabled by default for all the users.

  • FileVault asking for old account password when upgraded to Mountain Lion

    This is not good.
    I recently updgraded to Mountain Lion.
    After the upgrade process, my account log in no longer was accepted by FileVault. (FileVault Legacy)
    The system is stating that:
    " Your user accont password is different fomr your FileVault Password
    This can occur if your user account password was changed recently. To update your FileVault password and continue loggin gin, enter your old user account password"
    Yet, the last time I changed my password was perhaps over 1 year ago, certainly not recently, and defenitely after many OS upgrades?
    How can this happen??
    Now I can not access any files (Am I expected to remember a password from 1year+ ago?) ... Major Fail.
    Anyone having the same issue or a tip to get out of this crazy loop?

    Repair your permissions, go to applications  then utilities, then disk utility.  On the left hand side click on mac HD, then click repair disk permissions.  Restart your computer and test again once permissions repair is complete.

  • TS1292 When I input code it just keeps asking for iTunes account password over and over again not loading card

    I got a £25 iTunes gift card for my birthday and I have tried to redeem it but it is not working. I don't know if it's not activated but there is no message saying that the card is not inactive and I have checked all the letters and numbers and I have entered them correctly. When I enter the code it asks me to enter my iTunes account password I do that and then it just brings up the box to enter the password again over and over again... Hope someone can help! Thanks!

  • Mail keeps asking for SMTP account password

    My mail has quit working and prompts me to enter my password for the account. I enter the password but the prompt comes back every 40 seconds asking for the password again. Mail does not function at all now. Problem started about a month ago. How can I fix this?

    Mail asking for a password that you had previously had no problem with usually means the mail server at .Mac/MobileMe is on the fritz. These things usually resolve themselves on their own, but if it persists you may not be making contact with the mail server and may need to restart your computer. Sometimes just logging out of your account on your Mac and logging back in will fix it too.

  • My phone is not notifying me of some text messages and phone keeps asking for apple id password when in messages, what's wrong with my phone?

    My phone sometimes does not alert me when I get messages from certain people, and is constantly asking me to put in my password for my apple ID. I have only done it once, but the prompt immediately popped up again, and is really just a major nusaince. I don't know what is going on with my phone because it also keeps freezing and won't even lock. It's just so frustrating at times.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Thunderbird asks for wrong account password when I try to send an e-mail

    When trying to send an e-mail from gmail account A, Thunderbird prompts me for the password for account B. All identities in Thunderbird & account settings on Gmail.com are verified as correct, as well as my account settings and outgoing server settings in Thunderbird.

    To ensure that each gmail account is definately using the correct SMTP.
    First make sure the top mail account is definately set as default.
    Tools > Account Settings
    select the top mail account in list
    click on 'Account Actions'
    If it is set as default, the 'Set as default' option will be greyed out.
    Then check the second gmail account is offerd that option, but do not select.
    Start with the top one - the default gmail mail account.
    Tools > Account Settings > Outgoing Server
    select the first - top server and click on EDit.
    Under 'Description' give it a name that's easily identifies that gmail account.
    it is only used to help you id the account when there is more than one SMTP using same server settings.
    eg: 'Personal' or 'Business' or 'first part of the gmail email address' the bit before the @.
    Make sure the Username = email address of account which will use it. the top account in list - the one you want to use it.
    click on OK
    then Select the top mail account in the Left Pane.
    bottom right where it says what Ougoing Server (SMTP) to use, click on drop down list and select the one that says:
    eg: 'Personal' - smtp.gmail.com
    Do the same for the other gmail account
    Go into Outgoing Server (SMTP) and select the second smtp listed.
    click on 'Edit'
    Give it an identifiable 'Description' -
    Make sure the username is the second email address.
    click on OK
    Then select second gmail email address mail account and select the correct - second gmail smtp using the description to help identify it.
    when finished click on OK to save settings.
    When you are certain that each gmail mail account email address has an smtp server that is using the same Username in the smtp server please confirm.

  • IMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

    iMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

    Is sounds like it might for some reason booting into Safe Mode, which does prompt for a password.
    Try a PRAM reset:
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    If that doesn't help, restart holding down the option key which should take you to the startup manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrows on the keyboard if the kb is Bluetooth), tap 'enter'. Does it boot normally now?

  • Keeps asking for my hotmail password and saying its wrong stopped recieving mail

    keeps asking for my hotmail password and have stopped recieving mail

    Mail asks for your password when it cannot contact the Server. It presumes [usually incorrectly] you told it the wrong password, and asks for a better one. The one you enter replaces the one that is stored.
    But often the reason it cannot connect is that the Mail Server holding your emails is temporarily DOWN.
    Ignore those requests and take that account Online again later. 
    (You may have to re-enter the password, because it often clobbers your good password with the one you enter, and sometimes does not store ANY password after that stupid dialog box.)

  • WebService Publication asks for user and password

    Hello,
    I have a WebService with No Authentication.
    The problem is that when I try to open the WSDL in the WebBrowser SAP asks for User and Password of the WebAS.
    I have tried to Consume the WS through a 3rd application and when I try to consume it user and password is needed and the WS has no authentication.
    I have read this topic:
    Roles for SOAMANAGER
    And the basis guy told me he has already done that configuration so If you know how to solve this problem I will be very grateful if you post it.
    Thanx in advanced.

    Hi,
    SAP Web Application Server requires a username and password. This makes sense. Even if your web service is has No Authentication, you still have to access the server.
    How to bypass this.....

  • My brand new Mac ProBook keeps asking for an admin password to download Adobe Flash Player

    My brand new Mac ProBook (OSX Mavericks 10.9.4) keeps asking for an admin password to download Adobe Flash Player and also when I try to set up adding my printer. The problem is that when I initially set up this new laptop--I opted to not have any password upon login. So what is my admin password that it keeps requesting??--that "I" did not create??

    I have heard that Adobe Flash Player and Apple OS & iOS do NOT care much for each other.
    Now half of Youtube videos would NOT play and many websites would NOT show on my Mac computer.
    This is absolutely rediculous!
    Because of the unfair monopoly, I have switched from Microsoft Windows PC to Apple Mac system a few years ago.
    Is it a MUST and worthy for corporations to compete each other by screwing up customers like this?
    What a shame!
    Big things have small beginnings and so do big failures!
    I think I will delay the idea of buying any more OS or iOS products until I can easily watch all the Youtube videos and browse all the websites!
