Issues with changing Apple Mail password!?!

I just tried changing my Apple Mail password in the Mail Preferances window, within the incoming mail server "password" field.  I saved my changes, and now every 2-5 minutes I get an error message telling me to enter my mail password in the pop-up field.  I do so, and then I get the error message again 2-5 minutes later!!  What's going on here??
I'm also not receieving incoming mail now...
Please let me know if you have a solution!

sounds like a keychain issue.
Try this:
go to Utilities > Keychain Access and delete all entries relating to that mail account.
in the keychain Access Menu, do Keychain First Aid. Enter your passord, pick repair, and click start.
Go back to Mail and delete that account (don't just inactivate it, delete it).
I don't know if a restart is necessary at this point, but it wouldn't hurt.
go back to mail and recreate the account

    On the left, you should have a list of keychains and categories. If not, Select Show Keychains from the View menu.
    Select the login keychain and All Items in the Category.
    In the search field, type something that will help find your  account keychains, like "gmail."

  • How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

    How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • How to change Apple ID Password IF...

    How to change Apple ID Password IF I forgot:
    - The answers to Security Questions (it may sounds silly but I don't even remember making Security Questions).
    and
    - Don't have access anymore to the Rescue Address (I used my very old email which is no longer active).
    So is there any way I could change my Password?
    And now I want to change my Security Questions and my Rescue Address as well.
    Hope someone could come with the right solution.
    Thank you very much.

  • I'm having a billing issue with my apple id. I got my first iPhone today and I've signe din etc however before i can download any apps etc i need to resolve an old payment apparently. The problem is i cant enter my new card details because no longer in US

    I'm having a billing issue with my apple id. I got my first iPhone today and I've signe din etc however before i can download any apps etc i need to resolve an old payment apparently. The problem is i cant enter my new card details because the issue is registered to when i was in America and i require to pay the funds from an American source. Any ideas how i can resolve this? It wont accept my new card detail as im back in the UK. I think i have posted this in the wrong area but anyone got any ideas?
    I have managed to change the rest of my accoutn being registered to the UK i think except this

    Hi..
    You can email Apple for help but the link is for the iTunes store not the Mac App Store. You've inadvertently poasted in the Using Mac App Store forum but that's ok. Billing issues are the same for the iTunes Store.
    Click here > Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us
    It wont accept my new card detail as im back in the UK
    Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

  • I'm having issues with my apple wireless keyboard and bootcamp 5

    I'm having issues with my apple wireless keyboard.
    I just bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard for my ThinkPad E430 but the keys are not compatible.
    I installed BootCamp 5 and it worked great but whenever I restart, it changes my system's time.

    What do you mean by racing around in circles? Have you done any damage to your phone? Like drop it or get it wet?

  • Comcast Issues with Mountain Lion Mail Client (v.6)

    I am having same issues receiving my e mail in Mail in my comcast account.  I did have google but deleted the e mail and even my entire google account to hopefully resolve problem.  Problem remains.  I have tried so many things and am waiting to hear from a tech.  Was on phone with Apple for hours on Sat. morning but no resolution yet.  I am wondering if it is an i cloud issue. 
    <Edited by Host>

    Hi,
    This thread was created by someone who had issues with their Google Mail not being fetched by the Mail app in Mountain Lion.
    Their presumption was that it was the Mail App.
    It turns out Google have had a problem and it not only effects Macs using Mountain Lion.
    This Google Issue should in no way effect the fetching or sending of Mail via your ISP (Comcast) Login.
    I don't see any info in your post that links your Comcast account to iCloud so it is difficult to follow your reasoning that iCloud is involved.
    This means you have a different issue to the Original Poster.
    Unfortunately it is not likely to get addressed here  (Broadly speaking the presumption is that a different question should have it's own thread)
    It can be difficult to judge sometimes if you have a different issue or not.
    I would suggest starting your own thread.

  • Junked old macbook for a new one. changed apple id password from a different mac. i want to login and it asks for name and password. no matter what i type i cant seem to login. any way help?

    junked old macbook for a new one. changed apple id password from a different mac. i want to login and it asks for name and password. no matter what i type i cant seem to login. why cant i just enter my apple id and password. or is there a way to change whatever name and password are on the new one from another mac so i can login. anything helps...thanks

    Just open System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane with your root password.
    Set the New Account to be an Administrator and fill in the rest of the data and then click "Create User".
    I would suggest using this user to be YOU with admin capabilities. I wouldn't use the root user - too much damage could occur if you're not sure what you're doing. If you have files, etc., that you want to move to this account, simply but them in the Shared folder - or if you 'rescued' some old files and the like from your 'trashed' MBP, you can put them in your NEW admin account folders.
    Hope I've explained myself well - call back with any questions!

  • The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

    A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == last week

    Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
    If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
    If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
    It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

  • I am having strange issue with my apple tv...i set up pictures to scroll through to the tv using home sharing.  Now album covers are interspersed with my pictures.  I have been using apple tv for a while and never had this happen before

    I am having strange issue with my apple tv...i set up pictures to scroll through to the tv using home sharing.  Now album covers are interspersed with my pictures.  I have been using apple tv for a while and never had this happen before

    Are you watching this content though iCloud or though from iTunes on your local computer?  If it is from iCloud have you tried downloading the content to iTunes and watching it on ATV from that source to see if it still happens?  This is geerally a much more reliable way to view the content.  Easer to fast forward and rewind too.
    - I have a stable internet connection
    Clearlly you don't
    >(Ive tested on other devices)
    Which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
    >I am able to stream Netflix problem free from my AppleTV without so much as a hicup
    Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
    >- I am able to download the episodes to my phone, ipad, and computer without any issues
    Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.  It does remove your ISP throattly traffice as a possible cause though.  So that is good.
    Have you checked your wireless rounter?  Tried doing the factory restor on it?  Upgrading it's firmware?  Is it and or ATV getting extreamly hot when this problme happens?

  • Issue with changing database location at runtime

    I am having a similar issue to:
    Re: Issue with changing database location at runtime
    where I am using Crystal Reports 2008 SP 3 fix pack 3.3 and a OLE DB connection to a SQL 2008 R2 server. Running on a computer on the network where the report can see the original development server is fast, other computers where that server is not available are hanging 20 seconds before coming up.
    I am using the same code from the Crystal Sample app to change the connection on each table. I found that the slowness comes the first time the ReportDocument object is accessed to get the collection of database tables, before the connection info is set.
    Fix pack 3.4 was mentioned in that post.  Does fix pack 3.4 fix that issue? I don't see fix pack 3.4 on the downloads page (https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm)

    I just found on the reports that were having the issue there was a SQL Expression.  Per this thread:
    Re: Report load is slow after changing database servers
    There was an issue with that and the fix is not out til the end of Feb so I found a way not to use the SQL Expression and the speed is much better.
    However, your information provided led me to this post:
    Cannot Change Table Location, but Only for One Report
    And I am also experiencing an issue where the table location is not changing on one subreport and I will look into that as a possible solution.
    Thanks so much for your help.

    You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC.  You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

  • Are there any issues with changing IP address of an ACS v5.3 system after initial setup?

    I am migrating from ACS v4.2.1 to v5.3.  I want the final v5.3 system to assume the IP address of the original 4.2 machine so I don't have to change any configs on the network devices.
    Are there any issues with changing the v5.3 system IP address AFTER the initial setup?

    I tried it without a problem. I changed the ip address of the WLC many times.
    You have to make sure though that:
    1-) You change the switchport accordingly to the appropriate vlan if the new ip belongs to a subnet of a different vlan.
    2-) Make sure that all AAA clients configured to use the new IP address of the ACS servers.
    Here is the procedure how to change the ip of the interface (as per cisco doc):
    http://goo.gl/0BYqVT
    I changed also by normal ip address command and it works. but of course the server must be standalone before doing that step (i.e. no secondary ACSs registered to it and it is not registered to other ACSs in a distributoin).

  • Changed apple ID password, but cant sign in to apple app store or facetimme

    I couldn't access to apple ID so I changed the password follwing steps to change apple ID password. Then I couldnt at least sign in to apple store, Facetime, Icoloud. What should I do?

    This sounds similar to a problem I had, though I may be wrong. First sign out of everything, the app store and icloud both have there own way of signing out so make sure to do them both.  To sign out of app store go to featured tab then scroll to the bottom and click apple ID, for icloud you sign out under settings. When signing out of iclould you will need to use your old password, so you may need to go back online to the apple website and change your id and password to what it was before.  Once you've signed out of everything go apple website and change you ID and password to what you want it to be. Then go and sign back into everything.  I hope this helps. It might not be the best way but it worked for me.
