IPad says wrong email password then it's ok

My iPad was working fine for the past month, no issues. I have three (3) email accounts set up, and they were working just fine. Couple days ago, I got pop up saying the password was incorrect on all three accounts. I ignored it and checked mail on my iMac before going out. Returned 3 hours later, and mail updated and was fine. Today, it did the same thing... Said it couldn't retrieve mail because the password was incorrect. Just checked, and now it's downloading mail ok. What gives? I'm using a brand new Apple AirPort Extreme on my wifi.

Hi tozol,
If you have entered a security code that is not recognized as being correct too many times, you will be unable to use that iCloud keychain. You can contact Apple Support who will verify your identity so that you may continue to attempt to use that code. If this is not successful you will need to set up iCloud Keychain again. See this article for information -
Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain - Apple Support
See the section titled Can Apple recover my iCloud Security Code?
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

  • Why does ipad say my email password is incorrect?

    Why does ipad say my email password is incorrect when I have reconfirmed it multiple times?

    It could be that another setting that you entered is incorrect. Review all settings. Sometimes it is easier to delete the account from the iPad and reenter all seetings.

  • Ipad 4 retina  - email password

    hello
    i understand there is a way to turn off email function completely but is there a way not to keep my email password stored in the ipad email accounts settings?
    thanks

    Upgraded my ipad4 from ios6 to iOS 8 because the new WSJ app required it. HUGE MISTAKE!!!!!!! I can maybe understand some apps being slower but not Safari or Chrome. Apple must be throttling back the ipad4 processor even more with ios8 to force an upgrade to the next gen iPad whenever it arrives.

  • How do I stop my ipad remembering my email password

    How do I stop my ipad air remembering my password

    I couldn't find a way to do it. What I did was to change my password at the site, then signing out. When I reentered the site, the saved password came up. I used the old password, which of course failed. I then reentered the correct, updated password. At that point, I was asked if I wanted to save the new password, which it replied not to save it.
    It's a pain because the remembered password is automatically entered each time you sign in, but it does prevent unauthorized access to the account.

  • My iPad says my email address is invalid when it is not

    This is an ongoing problem I have with my iPad. I create a login for a site using my usual email address. When I attempt to login again to the site, the iPad insists the email address is invalid So I can't login. I moved to a different email address and the same thing happened. I tried updating the operating system but to no avail.  This is very important as I'm attempting to apply for a new job.

    If this is just happening on one website, that suggests to me that the problem is with the website. Or is this something that happens anywhere that you try to use your email address?

  • IPad says wrong password.

    Hello, I am having a massive problem with my ipad mini and iOS8. I upgraded to iOS8 and changed my password from a number password to letters. I then locked my ipad to test the ipad but the password constantly said it was wrong. I seriously do not want to loose any data as there is some very personal photos on there that i could not afford to see go. Unfortunately it is not backed up I really hope someone has some quirky solution out there to help me. Many thanks for reading.

  • I cannot send out emails from my iPad,says my email address was rejectected by server. I am receiving mail, but can't send?

    Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works

  • Wrong email password to send photos

    I entered my email to send pictures from iphoto, but the wrong password. How can I change it to the correct password?

    iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts.
    Delete the entry for email there, and then recreate it.

  • I updated my IPad to the new 7 version.  My iCloud account on iPad using wrong email/ iCloud account info.

    I updated my iPad to the 7 version.
    In iCloud my apple ID is old, and I went to update.
    Which is by deleting the iCloud account, however when I go to delete account.
    It prompts me to enter my password for my old Apple ID and not allowing me to delete account.
    I did try to enter info for old account to see if it would work. But it does not.
    I get the message need to enter password required to turn off "find my iPad"

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was.  You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so.  You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • How to have ipad not save email password

    How do you set ipad 3 to not save email password

    With the Mail app you can't, you will need to go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and remove it and then go back in and add it back when you want to access that account again. You could use Safari instead and create a homescreen shortcut to your account's login page.

  • TS3276 Icloud says my email password in incorrect

    I've used Apple email, e.g me.com and icould.com for a few years.  Recently I get an error saying my passord is incorrect.  It asks me to reset my password and when I do and it accepts my password, I try to log into Icloud and it says the same things again.  Help!!

    Are you able to log in at http://appleid.apple.com with the passowrd?
    When you say "I try to log into Icloud" is that at www.icloud.com or through the Mail App?

  • After upgrade to OS6 iPad says my email address is not a valid one since it consists of 2 dashes "--" and letters. How can I set up my account now? Was never a problem before OS6.

    As it is now i have to use my mail as a webmail since iOS6 has a crazy function to decide wheter my email address is a valid one or not pending on the letters it holds. Beside the "--" it also says that the Swedish letter "å" (an "a" with a small circle above) is not a valid one.

  • Bursting and DeliveryManager - How to identify wrong email address

    Hi,
    I have created a BI report (based on Data Template)
    Report generates the XML and then in the afterReport trigger, I am calling Bursting Program to send emails to the customers.
    Everything works fine.
    Problem is:
    If, there is any wrong email address, then we are NOT receiving any notification and undeliverable message.
    This happens for Bursting Request (program).
    I have also written a sample Java Code using "DeliveryManager" XDO class, to check whether it thorws the exception in case of wrong email ID or incorrect domain.
    But it also completes successfully and without any error. (no email .... obviuosly)
    import oracle.apps.xdo.delivery.*;
    public class EmailTest
    public static void main(String args[])
    try{
    DeliveryManager dm = new DeliveryManager();
    DeliveryRequest req = dm.createRequest(DeliveryManager.TYPE_SMTP_EMAIL);
    req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_SUBJECT, "test mail");
    req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_HOST, "appsrelay.xxx.com");
    req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_FROM, "[email protected]");
    req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_TO_RECIPIENTS, "[email protected]"); //WRONG EMAIL ADDRESS HERE
    req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_CONTENT_TYPE, "application/pdf");
    req.addProperty(DeliveryPropertyDefinitions.SMTP_CONTENT_FILENAME,"test.pdf");
    req.setDocument("/home/appldev2/WYSEINVPRINTN2_17402678_1.PDF");
    req.submit();
    req.close();
    catch(Exception e)
    System.out.println("Exception at: "+e);
    Then, I tried writing a send mail program using JAVAX EMAIL APIS.
    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import javax.mail.*;
    import javax.mail.internet.*;
    import javax.activation.*;
    public class EmailTest2
    public static void main(String args[])
    String to = "[email protected]"; //WRONG EMAIL ADDRESS HERE
    String cc = "[email protected]";
    String bcc = "[email protected]";
    String from = "[email protected]";
    // SUBSTITUTE YOUR ISP'S MAIL SERVER HERE!!!
    String host = "appsrelay.xxx.com";
    String Subject="";
    Properties props = new Properties();
    // Get a session
    Session session = Session.getInstance(props);
    try{
    Transport bus = session.getTransport("smtp");
    bus.connect();
    Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
    Address fromAddress = new InternetAddress(from);
    msg.setFrom(fromAddress);
    Address[] toAddresses = InternetAddress.parse(to);
    msg.setRecipients
    (Message.RecipientType.TO,toAddresses);
    Address[] ccAddresses = InternetAddress.parse(cc);
    msg.setRecipients
    (Message.RecipientType.CC,ccAddresses);
    Address[] bccAddresses = InternetAddress.parse(bcc);
    msg.setRecipients
    (Message.RecipientType.BCC,bccAddresses);
    Subject = "test emails";
    msg.setSubject(Subject);
    msg.setSentDate(new Date());
    MimeBodyPart p1 = new MimeBodyPart();
    p1.setText(" \n" + "Please find attached the SPQ approval letter \n\n" + "Regards, \n");
    Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
    mp.addBodyPart(p1);
    msg.setContent(mp);
    msg.saveChanges();
    bus.sendMessage(msg, toAddresses);
    bus.sendMessage(msg, ccAddresses);
    bus.close();
    catch(Exception e)
    System.out.println("Exception at: "+e);
    This, program throws Exception when there is any invalid character or wrong domain specified.
    "class javax.mail.SendFailedException: 553 5.1.2 <[email protected]>... Invalid host name"
    Please help me to get some clue about how we can track the invalid email address and also, undeliverable emails in Bursting or XDO DeliveryManager classes.
    Thanks a Lot,

    Hi,
    Actually delivery failure notification is nothing to do with bursting or Delivery API, For me it deliver the notification if delivery address is incorrect (not exists), though the bursting engine does not through any error for invalid email format.
    If you really looking for the solution, as a workaround :
    I would use the file delivery
    Implement the Bursting Status Listener
    within Before Document Delivery, implement the customize delivery solution by using javax.mail logic to email the report.
    For most of us, It is too much and better to raise a SR, but you already implemented the other part, so just combine these two to get what you want.
