Is the email password issue related to my canceled trial .mac account?

Guys,
I thought this might be something. My trial .mac account expired and I have been getting password issues ever since. I thought having a mac email account was indefinite, however after speaking with CS, they said an expired .mac account and password issues were correlated.
So, for those with ongoing password issues, am I assuming these people who are having password issues have an *active* .mac account? Apologies for the newb/green question.
P.S. I am able to retrieve gmail on my account.

If you've got your .Mac account set up in Mail and the account has expired, that'd be why you're getting password prompts. .Mac email accounts expire with the account--they're not free. Remove the .Mac account from Mail (or pay for it) and the problem should go away.

  • Email password issues

    Why am i having email password issues? This is the email from [email protected] "Your account (email) could not be authenticated. If you have recently changed your email password, please enter the most current password in settings to continue receiving emails. You can enter the password 100 times a day and still will not receive emails.
    Anyone have an answer?

    Delete and re-add the account.  I just had the same thing happen, and that fixed it.  I think it was some error on Verizon's end.

  • When I go to Setting icloud, the tap Delete it asks for a password and the email on screen is incorrect.So I cannot delete Account.

    Don't know anything about McAffe Enterprise Server, but if your employer is preventing you from using iCloud backup there's really no way to use it without removing this from your phone.  Unless you can convince the IT guys to make an exception.

  • Android 2.2 update coming in early September- Will it address the email notification issues??

    The upcoming Android 2.2 update for Droid X. Will this update address the email notifications issues?? I don't have a corporate email account, but use my Droid X for my personal business. I love this phone but the email is annoying. The emails are not coming through quick enough, I don't get notified when new email arrives. I have to do a refresh to lear that I have new emails in my inbox.
    I want like to know if the upcoming 2.2 update will address these issues for personal email like aol, yahoo etc. I know they mentioned something about exchange servers being faster. This is a disappointment for me, I thought I have push email with Droid X but not really. Can Verizon comment on this?
    Thanks,

    I did all those, ie. set my email config to push email, battery on performance mode, check my outgoing and incoming servers and ports. All are corect settings, I even configured all my aol accounts with gmail settings to see if that would work but still not getting push emails. I even did a factory reset. I know this is an issue because I also checked Motorola support forums, a lot people were experiencing what I am going except that I think most them have corporate email and exchange issues.
    I don't know whether this could be addressed with the upcoming 2.2 update not just for corporate but personal emails as well, VERIZON ? Motorola??
    Thanks

  • I had to change my password on my email password, but went to my setting under mail accounts and it is grey and I am unable to update it there.  Can someone tell what I can do? This on an iPad2.

    If the word "Off" is sort of cloudy and the settings are greyed out - that means you do not have restrictions enabled - but just in case - do you use a passcode to lock the iPad?
    Exactly what message are you getting and where are you getting the message - what does the "email icon" mean?

    Hi Maastricht2014,
    Until and unless you remember the password to your old email address, you will not be able to access the eBooks as those eBooks are only authorized with your old email address only.
    The only workaround or alternative to access your eBooks will be to contact the eBook vendor and ask them to migrate the eBook from your old email to the new one.
    Hope that Helps!

  • HT4528 My iTunes says I cannot buy anything because I need to verify my security questions. I don't remember my security questions anymore and I don't remember the email password to the old email on my iTunes to change them.

    I am unable to access my iTunes account to buy apps and music and stuff because it keeps saying I have to verify my security questions I made this iTunes account when I was probably 13 and I don't even remember the old email password and I change my email and I've tried sending it to my email and my recent email they keep sending to my old email and I need to somehow change that because I do not remember my security questions or my old password

    How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
    Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.
    This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't work, or  there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
    Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

  • How do I add an email address for a family member to my .mac account?

    Can I add an email address for my mother to my .mac account?  I'd like to set up, manage and pay for an email address for her use.  I thought this was possible but can't seem to navigate myself to the place where I can get an additional address.

    So, after further reading I assume that I must ad an apple id for my mother.  Is this correct?  Can I, as the responsible party, control purchases and apps that are added to the device I have provided her?  I'm not so worried about what she might do as I am what a grandchild might do without her knowledge.

  • Help, i cant password protect when i publish to my .Mac account

    Whenever i try to put a password-protect my site i keep on getting an error message when im publishing to my .Mac account. "there was an error updating your .Mac account". When i publish my site without the password protection everything goes smoothly and no problems.
    Is there some setting i dont know of that is preventing me from doing so?
    Does it take time for this feature to work? (i only bought the subscription and registered to .Mac yesterday)
      Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    nah... giving up now. cant password protect the site
    told .mac support, they said its a problem with my ISP. Im inclining to agree. Unfortunately the ISp dont have mac tech support. so yeah.
    hope the next few updates are less awry.

    The password for my apple I'd doesn't work for alternates emails associated with my account like I was advised by apple.  I also can't reset the password as the system doesn't email like it says and the challenge response questions don't work.  How do I setup a child account under my main parent id?

  • How do I reset my rescue email address since i have forgotten both the email password and security questions?

    Hello,
    I have suddenly decided to purchase some music off iTunes Today (Oct 21 - 19:45 CET) and I have forgotten my security questions. I therfeore had to try and reset them using my rescue email address. I clicked "Send reset security info to ..." on the apple.id.com page. I went over to hotmail and i couldn't remeber my password so tried the security questions which I also couldn't remeber. What I am trying to ask is, Is there anyway that I can change/reset my security email under the "Passwords and Security" sections of appleid.apple.com and under the question tabs?
    If so could you please tell me.
    Thank you for helping me.

    No, you won't be able to change it until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • Someone stole my icloud password and changed the email and security questions, how can i restore my account?

    I recently (about a month ago) gave my Apple ID and password to a friend, he then changed the password, the security questions and the recovery email.
    He basically stole my icloud.
    My problem is I have an iPhone 4S connected to it and I can't restore it.
    Is there a way of at least restoring my iPhone? I have the Apple ID email and my previous password.
    <Email Edited by Host>

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
    Go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Apple ID account Security'.
