Lumia 800 rejecting MobileMe passwords all of a su...

If there is any more useless error message than 'Attention required' I've yet to see it.
Some time in the last day or so, my Lumia has begun to reject my Apple MobileMe/iCloud password which has not been changed elsewhere. Whenever the phone goes to sync it hangs for a minute or two then asks me to update my account information.
All of my other devices are syncing quite happily with iCloud and I can log in to the web service using a browser (although not mobile IE on the phone which doesn't like Apple's HTML5). So I'm sure the problem isn't at Apple's end.
I've switched the phone on and off and tried deleting my MobileMe account on the phone and recreating it, but the problem persists.
Does anyone have any ideas what I could try next, or do I just have to hope something comes along and fixes it quietly in the background?
Many thanks,
Mike.

Can't answer your question but I have a similar issue.My phone will take a notion every couple of weeks that I cannot access Ovi mail as my password is out of date and I have to update it. No idea what it's on about as Ovi password doesn't need to be updated and has never been changed.Usually inputting the password 2 or 3 times sorts it but have had to delete the account from the phone and set it up again on one occasion.

Nokia Lumia 800 - broken screen, password protecte...

Hi
My screen is shattered on my phone, phone does not respond. I really don't want to lose all my contacts, photos and videos from my old phone, how can I back it up?

your contacts/calendar data is fine if you used Microsoft (Live) account on phone. You can check here https://people.live.com
unfortunatelly you can kiss goodbye multimedia content from phone.... you can try restart phone (soft reset: hold 10+ seconds power button) when connected to PC and Zune and try access to multimedia content but you need to be very lucky...
WP OS is very secure and people must learn to use backup and save private data and multimedia data almost daily... with WP8 is easier and faster.
or find broken Lumia 800 with good touch screen and replace on your device... hope you learn from this bad experience to next time (no mater which phone OS use in future) use cloud services or PC to save things from phone.
My phone: The queen and one and only: Lumia 920... ruler of the smartphones...

Lumia 800 has no "Podcast" option in MarketPlace?

Hi All,
I have a shiny new Lumia 800 and have read all support documentation I can find and, apparently, "to download an audio or video podcast on your phone" I go to "Start, tap Marketplace, and then tap Podcasts."
My problem is that I go to "Start, tap Marketplace" and then find that there is actually no "Podcasts" option! I only have "Nokia collection", "applications", "games", and "music".
Why no podcast option?
Some documentation I've found says "Subscribing to podcasts on your phone is not available in all locations or languages." but I cannot find anywhere that lists if it should be available in Australia.
Please, someone tell me I can get podcasts with this phone? If not, well... fail.
Wondering if I need to download an app for this?
Cheers,
C.

If, in Marketplace, you select 'Applications', then search for 'Podcast' you can see what is available to you.
Personally I now download mine to laptop and sync via Zune.

For this special promotion in India you might like to look at this previous post concerning this issue where OP received an invitation from Nokia with SMS code:http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumia/Free-play360-speaker-with-lumia-800/m-p/1571008/highligh...
If this promotion is run in similar fashion to that in UK, online registration could not be completed and it had to be actioned by contacting Nokia Care.

Any help would be appreciated.

System Pref MobileMe is REJECTING my password, everywhere else is fine

Hi all
Just a while ago I have a pop up window message I've never seen before on my iMac, telling me my MobileMe password is wrong and ask me to re-log in.
I use my usual password to enter inside the MobileMe System Preference and it rejects, saying either my userID or password is invalid.
Strange, I never change anything recently. So I use the Forget Password and reset my password, with the new password, I was able to re-log in into everything else, including this forum, my iTunes Store, and all the other places including Mail in both my iPhone and iPad, they all receive my new password just fine, after I log out.
*Now it is JUST this MobileMe in the iMac System Reference, that is rejecting my new password!*
Thanks and cheers.

Hi all.
OK. I deleted everything "MobileMe" (well, almost) inside Key Chain and now I seem to be able to log in MobileMe inside System Preferences.
Awhile back I was able to log out and re-log in with my new password inside iTunes Store; Now upon checking new apps update available, when I try and download/update the apps, the new password prompt, it fails. I can't even log out of iTunes Store and re-log back in.
A window pops out saying:
We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the iTunes Store at the time. Please try again later.
Something is definitely not quite right here...
Cheers

I keep getting a message "The MobileMe IMAP server ... rejected the password for ...." I can use that password when I go to iCloud, but my e-mails won't download to my computer. What's the mix-up?

I keep getting a message "The MobileMe IMAP server ... rejected the password for ...." I can use that password when I go to iCloud (and to this discussion), but my e-mails won't download to my computer. What's the mix-up?

If the setting is greyed out perhaps you have restrictions enabled that would prevent someone from changing accounts. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Changes>Accounts.

Nah, buddy. It's not possible on the phone.
Most of the applications I found in the Marketplace allow sending of encrypted messages in which recipient needs to decrypt, but you can check the Marketplace yourself. I may miss one that suits what you need: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/search?q=message+password
However, you can create a password on the phone by going to Settings and then Lock+Wallpaper. This locks the phone and you need to input the password before you can access your phone.

HT5361 All of a sudden my AOL email account is rejecting my password

Hi,
All of a sudden my AOL email account is rejecting my password, its been working ok for over a year. I have deleted the account and re activated it again with success until restarting and the same error message appears again and again. This is happening on two AOL accounts. IOS version 10.9.5 Mountain Lion
Many thanks

Try going to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access and deleting the password there. While there, run Keychain First Aid.
Keychain Reset
Keychain Issues - Resolve see post by Kappy

Can anyone tell me why iCloud keeps rejecting my password and then all of sudden it will. It also won't load in my keychain.

Can anyone tell me why icloud keeps rejecting my password and then all of a sudden it will. It also won't record in my key chain.

Congrats to all Lumia 800 owners

I have been visiting an O2 shop yesterday and played around with the Lumia 800 for a couple of hours. It was awesome. There was even an Iphone customer who only wanted some accessoires standing by lurking over and after a while he confessed that he would buy a Lumia if he had not that Iphone already.
Unfortunately there is one thing that keeps me from buying the Lumia: It does not have a physical keyboard. I NEED a physical horizontal slider keyboard. So i hope many Nokia employees are reading this: RELEASE THE E7 AS WINDOWS PHONE!!!
I did not buy a Lumia yesterday. If there was a E7 as Windows Phone, I would have bought it right away. So if you want me to buy a Nokia Windows phone in the future get the E7 up as a Windows Phone. Otherwise I need to get a HTC or else which I don´t prefer.

"No T9? I quite like the work suggestion on top of the keyboard this make typing even faster... having he right word after typing just a few letters ... that's quick..."

Lumia 800 & Error code 80180048

Having waited patiently for EE/Orange in the UK to come up with the 7.8 update for my Lumia 800, there was great rejoicing when Zune finaly showed it as available - then gloom as the update only gets so far before throwing up an 80180048 Error Code. I've tried a hard reset but still the same problem, and also tried it on a different PC (both Windows 7). Any suggestions please?

Hi odseybod,
Thank you for posting and welcome to the forum.
Provided the error code, you can try these troubleshooting steps for us to resolve the issue. Before we begin, please see IMPORTANT NOTES.
