Locked out of mail have to unlock every time I try to access it.

I have been using my mac (mini) for a couple years and have always had macs, so I;m not an idiot (meh)…Just recently I have been locked out of my mail every time I try to use it, with either "disabled for security reasons" or "unable to connect to iCloud.." This is a personal computer…no network to deal with, just me, my iPad and iPhone. It is really really annoying. I have reset password, checked iCloud preferences to make sure my primary email address is the right one, and still have to unlock every time on every device. I have 3 accounts as I am old and have been through the @mac, @me and @icloud. I know I am missing something that is probably simple, but for the life of me I can't figure out what. When I go to unlock it everything works fine, but I have to do this constantly. I have never been asked to do this before the last 2 weeks, now it is ever-present. @mac has always been my primary email…it has never been changed (by me). I am lost,
please advise
Thanks

This is on my iPad

    What version of LR are you trying to activate? A serial number for LR 1 will not activate LR versions 2 - 5, but it will enable you to purchase LR 5 at the upgrade price and activate it.

  • ITunes crashes every time I try to access the store

    Every time I try to access the iTunes store in the iTunes app it crashes. I am running Win 7 Home edition and the latest iTunes (I even uninstalled and reinstalled). Not only that but the albums that I purchased from the store only about 1/2 of the songs play. The other half give the message that I am not authorized to play the song. How can I be authorized for only half of the songs? And it happens on every album purchased from the iTunes store. (I tried everything in this support article iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support)

    Greetings donm_hawaii,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with iTunes for Windows issues. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    iTunes for Windows: System restarts, blue screen, or quits unexpectedly when accessing iTunes Store
    When accessing the iTunes Store on Windows, your computer may restart or display a blue screen (Windows XP), or iTunes may quit unexpectedly (Windows Vista). You might also have issues opening iTunes if it is configured to open to the iTunes Store.
    This issue is caused by outdated drivers for ATI Radeon 2400 series video cards.
    Note: Some companies other than ATI may have manufactured video cards based upon the design of the ATI Radeon 2400 series.
    A driver is a piece of software that allows your operating system to communicate with a piece of hardware. Your PC consists of many hardware components, such as your hard disk, optical drive (CD or DVD drive), USB card, and video card. All built-in and external devices require drivers to communicate with your operating system.
    When iTunes is accessing the iTunes Store, it relies upon your video card driver to display certain animation and graphics within the iTunes Store. This can trigger an issue which is fixed in newer versions of your video card drivers.
    To find out what video card and version you have:
    Right-click My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista) and choose Manage.
    Click Device Manager in the list on the left of the Computer Management window.
    Click the plus sign next to Display Adapters in the list on the right.
    Right-click the video card and choose Properties.
    Take note of the name of the device.
    Click the Driver tab for more details.
    If there are multiple video card entries, repeat steps 4-6 for each entry.
    For each driver listed, check the manufacturer's website to see if there is an updated version available. For more information on how to update drivers, follow Updating the drivers on your Windows PC.
    If your drivers are the most up-to-date versions, from your computer manufacturer or video card manufacturer, you should consider installing the most updated driver from ATI.
    Learn more
    This is different than the issue described in What to do when Windows displays a blue screen error message or restarts when syncing the iPhone or iPod touch. The similarity is due to both issues being related to outdated drivers and driver conflicts.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Bobby_D

  • Why does my macbook pro stop loading the webpage every time i try to access netflix or youtube?

    Why does my macbook pro stop loading the webpage (in safari) every time I try to access netflix or youtube?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • HT4436 Every time I try to access my icloud account it tells me Verifying, then it says, Unable to Verify account.  What did I do wrong?

    I bought my iPad several months ago and I thought I set up my iCloud account correctly but I may not have, as I was fairly new to this venture.
    Every time I try to access it, it tells me, Verifying and after a little while it tells me Unable to Verify Account, so I guess I don't have something right.
    This is Problem (1)
    Problem (2) is,  I can't add Contacts to my Contacts APP.  Now I asked a Person at the ATT store where I purchased my iPad, she showed me what
    to do, I said that was easy enough, and when I got home I went to my tablet and My APP did not have a (+) Sign at the bottom of the page like hers
    did, and hers looked so easy.  Is my CONTACT APP not downloaded correctly, or is it an old version? Because it came on my Tablet already?  So How do I
    ADD my Contacts?
    Thanks for all the Help.
    Like I said, I am new to this stuff and any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated!
    Sincerely;
    Barbra Bryant
    P.S.
    My Apple ID is  ([email protected]), But my Email address is ([email protected]) could this be the problem?  If so, now what do I do?
    I also have a Google account.  It is ([email protected]) but all my email comes to the Yahoo account.  HELP!!!  Please!
    I hope all this makes sense.

  • IOS 6 keeps going to an apple log-in screen every time I try to access my home wifi.

    After updating to ios 6 every time I try to access my wifi network my Iphone 4s goes to 3G and goes to an apple log-in screen that says "the page cannot be found".

  • I am having difficulty opening my iPhoto on my macbook. Every time I try to access it, it freezes or the application will just not open at all. What can I do to open it successfully?

    I am having difficulty opening my iPhoto on my macbook. Every time I try to access it, it freezes or the application will just not open at all. What can I do to open it successfully?

    Select iPhoto in the Applications folder the type Command+i to bring up its Info window.  That will tell you what version it is.
    As a first fix attempt do the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
