Keep asking for old server

This message appeared every 30 seconds.
The server has been replaced and does not exist anymore, and I had checked my log-in items and even the time machine back-up, nothing I can find that connect to the captioned server. Anything else I can do?
Cheers,
ssslok

Could be a permissions problem, so the licensing never can persistently verify the serial and create the necessary key files. Try creating another user account with admin privileges and run it from there, then check the settings on your existing account and the pertinent user data folders.

Sold my wifi iPad and reset b4 selling
New owner can't sign into his Apple ID keeps asking for old (mine) Apple ID
Thought would have erased with resetting iPad

Hello, your iPad is 'Activation Locked' as a part of 'Find My iPad'.
Log onto www.icloud.com, go to 'Find My iPhone'. Then select 'All Devices', your old iPad will probably show here, select 'Remove from Account'.
If there is no option to 'Remove from Account' ask the current owner to switch iPad off for a while, and remove from account should show in 5 minutes or so.

ICloud Restore stuck - keeps asking for old Apple ID

Hello,
I've just gotten a iPhone 4S that I want to restore from an iCloud backup (I've had a 3GS previously). Unfortunately I'm running into problems as the restore process just doesn't finish. Some settings are restored just fine (contacts, messages, browser history, ...) while others are causing problems. In particular the photos & apps are not being downloaded. Apps are recognized but just sit on my screen "waiting".
I suspect that the cause for all this is that the last backup is from March 2012 (my 3GS died then) and in the meantime I've changed my Apple ID. During the restore it keeps asking for my old Apple ID, which is not longer active & I cannot log into.
Now I'm stuck since the phone decides to set the iCloud account to the old one and this cannot be changed as it tells me that I cannot delete the iCloud account during a restore is in progress...
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Unforunately I don't have an iTunes backup and I really don't want to lose my data (especially the photos).
Cheers,
Florian

The solution to fix this mess was to temporarily change my AppleID name back to the one that was active when the iCloud backup was being made.

Since lion upgrade iMac keeps looking for old server

Hi,
I have a NAS prior to Lion upgrade which was working perfectly. Now with the Lion upgrade the NAS (Sitecom) ther were some issues. I have reinstalled the NAs and had given it a new name. I can find the NAs now so thats not a problem.
But almost every hour I get 2 warning that he can not find the "old NAS", it really start annoying me and I've looked everywhere and I don't even find any link (Finder) towards it so I don't know what to do to get rid of this message, receiving it every hour twice really start getting on my nerves.
Sorry for th Dutch, but the message translates;
A problem has occured with connecting to the server 'VanBeeckNAS'
The server doesn't exist or is currently not available. Check the servername or the IP-address of the server, ...
Any help is highly appreciated.

Mail, iPhoto keeps asking for old non-listed mail account password

My mother took over my old mac pro computer with OS Lion. She created a new account on the computer for herself. The problem is that the mail keeps requesting for a password for my gmail account. We looked into the account listing (in system preferences and in mail preference) and it only lists her own email - not mine. I have program specific password activated on my gmail. But the thing is, why is it requesting my gmail password (which btw is not working). She can't use iphoto to send pictures to other people or use mail becuase this password request keeps showing up and it won't send anything. It says password is invalid. It does seem to recive her own mail however.
Help, please?
What should we do?

In Mail Preferences / Accounts, check the entry for outgoing mail server. You're able to choose different outgoing servers, which may be the issue. This may help:

App store keeps asking for old owner's password when I try to download updates, even though I am logged into my Apple account. It won't allow me to change ID to mine.

I bought a used iMac recently, and sometimes the app store asks for the user password of the previous owner (and displays former owner's ID). It won't allow me to change ID to mine, even though I am signed into store with my own account (and this is shown in dropdown menu). How can I make the store recognize my ID for downloads?

It is showing updates because your machine is tied to the original purchase and will remain so until you wipe the drive.
As you purchased it used and the seller obviously did not do what he was supposed to do and that is erase the hard drive and reinstall the original system, you will run in to far more difficult problems when you need to reinstall for whatever reason. The new licensing requirements are that any mac is sold with the original OS - any OS or app obtained at the app store is NOT transferable and the buyer needs to purchase their own license. That means you will not be able to reinstall the OS.
At some point, you will need to try to get either the original install disks (from the seller or Apple) and wipe your drive and reinstall. Then you can download your own licensed copy of Mavericks and any apps you want.

I have reset my password several times but I still cannot use mobile me or send photos as it keeps asking for old password which I do not know

HELP I cannot remember old password which is required in order to make new password work????

Are you using Mail or iPhoto as mail client?
I'd try to use a different default mail account than Yahoo! mail in iPhoto. Open the list of your account in the "iPhoto Preferences > Accounts" and drag a different account to the top of the list.Yahoo! mail is giving many problems recently with always prompting for passwords, not only in iPhoto.

Other weirdness to report: my neighbor upstairs appears to have a Linksys router network on channel 6. My AEBS is on channel 1 so there shouldn't be interference... but according to iStumbler sometimes the signal leaps to 64000 (keep in mind my own Airport never tops 60)! Is that potentially the problem?
Might it be possible that your neighbor just acquired a 802.11n (pre-N) wireless router recently?
802.11n effectively increases capacity by doubling the number of Wi-Fi radios and increasing the number of antennas used to push signals out of those radios. 802.11n splits a data frame into multiple pieces. It then transmits these pieces in parallel using multiple radios that are attached to multiple antennas. These antennas blast out signals from virtually the same vantage point – scattering the signals everywhere.
You may find the following ZDNet article interesting: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=247
Even if he did not, and you are on good terms, you might want to ask if he can temporarily turn off his wireless, or, at least, reduce the signal strength to see if that will help in your situation.

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
It depends on how amicable the split is...

I changed my email address for my Apple ID. When I want to use iCloud my iPhone doesn't seem to recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email. I can't update the new address it keeps defaulting to my old one.

Hello TirEoghain,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
First I would like you to try the instructions below to sign out of your iCloud account, and then sign in with your new Apple ID.
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud

Since the iOS 8.3 update my iPad keeps asking for my old iTunes password(the account I don't use and can't reset as the e-mail address was hacked) As a result I can't update my apps because it reverts back to asking for my old iTunes password.

Since 8.3 iOS update my iPad keeps asking my old iTunes password for an account I've disabled as my e-mail got hacked. As a result I can't update any of my apps ( I'm missing out on hay day)

Any content is tied to the account that you used to buy/download it - so if you created a new account as opposed to updating the existing one, then you will need to use the old account to download updates to its apps. Can you not update your old account so as to have a new email address on it (e.g. via this page) ?

Keeps asking for username password proxy server

When i start Firefox 8 at work, Firefox keeps asking for username and password. I have fild in the network settings to not use a proxyserver for: 150.0.*;12.0.*.
Now the startpage of Firefox is our ourIntranet which is: http://ourintranet (which has a ip example: 150.0.2.3
So what i want to do is: use proxy except for this ip: xxxxxxxx, because this ip is http:\\ourintranet
Now i cannot go to http:\\ourintranet because he keeps asking for password.

I'm not sure why it's not working. I think Firefox looks in the hosts file and then the configured/automatic DNS server for address resolution, in that order. To specify otherwise (for eg. a proxy for address resolution) the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.proxy.socks_remote_dns network.proxy.socks_remote_dns] in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] has to be set to true.
You can also check in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile]. A new profile would have the default settings and wouldn't usually have any installed extensions and would be clean. You can try then try the proxy settings.
The 150.0.2.0/24 should work (24 bits for the network with 254 addresses - http://www.subnet-calculator.com/cidr.php) unless perhaps the network is super-netted in which case you can also try the supernet prefix instead of /24.

Hello vfrio,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you edited your existing Apple ID to a new email address and changed the password as well. To change this on your computer, you will need to sign out of the old account and into the new Apple ID in iCloud for Windows. Please use the attached article as a further reference.
What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
Windows PC
Open iCloud for Windows and click Sign Out.
If you're signed out, sign in with your updated Apple ID or password. The data in iCloud will automatically appear on your device after you sign in.
If you're signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Click Sign Out. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked if you want to make copies or delete iCloud data (Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, Bookmarks, Photo Stream) from your PC. Click Delete. Your data will remain in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Sign in with your updated Apple ID or password.
Have a great day,
Joe
