Keychain will NOT accept password for email

My wife had a problem w/ her email program, Entourage. After finally getting things squared away, noy she has to enter her password everytime. Keychain won't accept it. I check the box "save password" but it doesn't. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Jack

Hi Jack,
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

"Flash out of date" comes up, new install, and will not accept Password for install? Next step?

"Flash out of date" comes up, i do a new install, the log-in and password windows pops up, I type in password and it will not accept.
I have changed password, confirmed password, rebooted several times, and it still will not re-insall new version.
I am stuck.
HELP!

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

App store will not accept password for updates but will for purchases.

Please advise.

Thanks... I did try that. To add to the mess, I just saw some update on my Macbook Air App Store and it did the same as on my iphone. I would not accept my new password.
I then saw that my iphone had some updates. I requested to update all. It asked for my password and I entered it. It downloaded some of the update but not others and also gave me the message that I put in the wrong password.
Still confused. Thanks for your help.

IChat will not accept password for yahoo second time around.

I wanted to get ride of my YIM program and just use iChat and Mail. I was able to get into both no problem. I signed out of iChat and went to sign back in like 5 minutes later but it's now telling me the login or password is incorrect. I know the password is right as I was able to sign in everywhere else with the same info. I tried restarting my computer but still no go. Help?????

hi,
This may be an issue with multiple logins.
For Instance if yo happen to have a Google ID and Enable Talk on your google Accounts seting you can chat on various Google pages (iGoogle and Web Mail for 2)
You can also use the name in a Jabber able App like iChat.
However there are issues about priority if you are logged in via iChat and the web pages
You will notice if you are chatting that the focus changes from whichever was logged in first to the one that was logged in second. (i.e. if you log in to the Google web Mail page after iChat during a chat the web mail page will get the IMs from your Buddy - you are not entirely kicked off in iChat but it is close)
The Yahoo system maybe similar
Check with web Browser log in and Phone log ins if you can.
In fact make sure you are deliberately logged out of all log ins as the default for some is 2 weeks

When i try to open a document, adobe will not accept password

cannot open file because adobe will not accept password adobe x

Odd. I downloaded [DH]RQ-7_UAV_US_Army.pdf which indicates the password you posted, and it opened WITHOUT any prompt for password at all. (Adobe Reader XI Mac OS X 10.8.5)
I downloaded P51D_Mustang_Ferocious_Frankie.pdf and it opens in Preview, Acrobat X, but not Reader XI as you described.
Here's what I did to get it to open.
Open the PDF in Acrobat.
Click File>Properties.
Under the Security tab, click "Change Settings..."
Where it says "Compatibility:" change it from "Acrobat 5 and later" to "Acrobat X and later".
Enter the password (paper-replika.com) below.
Click OK.
Save the PDF.
Open it with Reader XI.
It will accept the password and open the PDF.
This ISN'T a Reader issue, but an issue with the save settings when the PDF was created.
Unfortunately, for those who DON'T have Acrobat to make the necessary changes, it will remain a problem.
Perhaps you could contct the website and inform them that they need to change their compatibiliy settings in their PDFs.
But... It's NOT a Reader issue.

Secured wi fi network gives timeout and will not accept password. Works on i pad and iphone

My Macbook Pro network was secured and worked on ipad and iphone. Now it gives me a "connection timed out" message on laptop and will not accept password. It works on ipad and iphone. Anyone with an explanation. I cannot get it to let me delete from the macbook pro. Had to set a new unsecured network to just get on internet. Running 10.7.4 and is up to date.

I deleted all and then set up an unsecured network. When I go to system preferences>Network and where the Network Name is, I click join other networks, then click show networks the secured net work is still there and when I click on it, it gives me the timeout message. This is causing a problem in trying to get my wireless printer back on line as it keeps going to this secured network. Can you help with this problem. I would like to remove the secured network completely from my computer. I have gone to the Advanced and deleted all. The only one showing there is the unsecured network.

HT2954 email will not accept password

email will not accept password

Hi Colby,
I'm thinking they might slowly be warning people that mobileme is going away , & you have to switch by June or so. And, it seems many iDevices have this detection or change worked in, but not Macs running older OSX versions.
Might as well setup a new account now.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
▪ Server name: imap.mail.me.com
▪ SSL Required: Yes
▪ Port: 993
▪ Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
▪ Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
▪ Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
▪ SSL Required: Yes
▪ Port: 587
▪ SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
▪ Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
▪ Password: Your iCloud password

Could there be something wrong with your router if ipad or i phone will not accept password saying it is wrong and yoy know it is right

could router WiFi be defective if it will not accept your password saying it is incorrect it is 2 yrs old.

The router could be defective but if you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is with your network. Try restarting your router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

4GLTE Saying Upgrade Available - Will Not Accept Password on Back of The Device as Password?

Does anyone know why it will not accept the MIFI password clearly on the back of the device to do the upgrade?

In this world of passwords I know how irritating it is to have these error message issues. I would be glad to help so you can use your device to the fullest!
The password on the back of the box is normally for initial setup only. Try the generic password of "admin" If that doesn't work we will gladly further troubleshoot with you. What type of MiFi do you have? Here's a link to another forum post that has some great suggestions.
Thank you

Server Monitor Notification will NOT accept an outgoing email address

Hi folks. I have a new XServer Xeon. Everything is working great, except for one maddening issue: When I use Server Monitor and go to set up notifications, the "send to" field will NOT accept any input at all...whether it's a bonafide email address or just any old text typing. Nada. I can seem to enter all other info like the "from" field, and the buttons work....just can't add any addresses to send notifications to. Any ideas? I'm hoping this is a "duh" moment for me and not a real issue.
Thanks!

Daddy
I have quite a few Xserve's (G4, G5) running Email notification from Server monitor without mail services running.
It appears to be a problem with the new Intel's version of Server monitor, I cannot get SM to accept any email addresses either, it will also not remember other settings between launches.
I have submitted a bug report with Appple through ADC on this.
FYI if you setup lights out management on another IP on Xserve and connect server monitor to that IP from another machine you can add email addresses but when hardware events occur on Xserve no emails are sent!
So IMHO server monitor V1.5 is broken right now, only good for manually monitoring the hardware.
If I get an answer from Apple I will post it in this category

First generation ipad not accepting passwords for wifi

I have a first generation ipad -- 2 weeks ago it stopped connecting to wifi -- I enter the wifi password and it says "Incorrect password" -- I am positive the password is correct. I have restarted, restarted the router, changed the router channel, called tech for my cable router, soft re-boot, hard re-boot, forget this network, reset network settings, and I just completed a complete wipe out of the ipad to start over... same problem, it says "Incorrect password" -- I am beyond frustrated at this point, can someone please offer some insight to this issue?! I have already gone through all the steps listed on previous posts, its like the wifi just stopped working. It will recognize my network but will not accept the password. all other devices in our home work with the same network and password.
Thanks for your help!!!!

When you say 'open up' - do you mean unlock it so a password is not required?

Yahoo mail will not accept password on new iphone 5

Yahoo mail will not accept my password and load e-mails. What to do?

I e-mailed Yahoo for help with Yahoo mail and was given the following instructions: Remove Yahoo account from your iPhone, turn the phone off and back on, and then re-add to trigger a re-sync on your Yahoo acccount. This worked with no problem!! I was also given a link for a Yahoo Help article which I have included below. For those of you who are having issues, I hope this solves them!

Apple TV will not accept password to homesharing

My Apple TV will not accept the password to my Homesharing

Hello dstalk
It sounds like you are being asked to setup Home Sharing. If that is correct, check out the article below. If the password is not working, verify that you can log in with it at appleid.apple.com and change it if necessary. If it for Netflix, check out the 3rd article for additional support.
