Mac Mail iCloud password rejected on only one computer

On only one of my computers, I can't get my email from my iCloud account using Mac Mail, because my password keeps getting rejected. I am sure that the password is correct, and it works fine on two other computers and my phone. No matter how many times or different ways I try to re-enter the password, that one email account on that one computer won't connect and see my mail. Multiple restarts and temporarily disabling the account have not fixed the issue.
I have read one suggestion to delete the account and then re-add it, but I have over 5000 emails in there and don't want to have to do that if possible out of fear of causing additional problems. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
OS 10.8.5
Mac Mini 2.3 gHz Quad Core i7 with 8 GB RAM

10.8.5
So, if I delete the mailbox and re-add it (starting new) all my iCloud mail (inbox and sent) should reappear?

Could we have the same email address setup in Mac mail as POP and Exchange (only one Mac mail)?

Is it possible to have one mail account setup in two different ways (as POP and Exchange) in one Mail App in one device?

Some misguided email operators allow only one connection to an account at a time. (I had one like this myself, and to add insult to injury, when you disconnected, you weren't logged off from the server for up to 15 minutes later, so you couldn't just switch to another computer immediately.)

How can I stop using my primary Apple ID (Gmail) but leave my secondary Apple ID (icloud) as primary ond only ONE?

Good afternoon friends.
Please help me and tell how can I stop using my primary Apple ID (Gmail) but leave my secondary Apple ID (icloud) as primary ond only ONE?
I started using Apple ID in 2011 when iCloud was not exist and was forced to use non-apple e-mail adress as primary ID.
So I used GMail mailbox.
When iCloud was started I created my account but unfortunatelly can't remove this Gmail address from my Apple ID and replace it with icloud mail address.
I was VERY dissapointed because I don't want to use "outside" mailbox to get letters from Apple and ny ID.
In fact I see the Apple old users and fans discrimination.
When creating new user accounts are free to create a box on the iCloud mail and use it as a primary ID, and the only ONE.
At the same time the old user is obliged to keep third-party mail box like Gmail etc. as the primary and can not get such an opportunity, as a new user
This is extremely inconvenient and a VERY strange logical.
For example, now I want to stop using this mailbox on Gmail but I can not do that because in this case I lose access to my ID, or run the risk that someone in the future will create a box with the same name on Gmail (when name will be free and available) and will automatically get access to my accounts on Apple and to my Apple ID.
Now, to avoid this, your team, I offer the only way out: ID, create anew.
Of course it's possible, but then:
- I lose all my purchases for 3 years and will be forced to make them again and pay money for the second time for my purchases
- Lose access to the familiar iCloud e-mail address who now serves as secondary ID because this e-mail address is almost no longer available and will never be released in future.
And now answer me for ONLY TWO questions:
- WHERE IS LOGIC?
- WHAT ABOUT TO BE FRIENDLY FOR YOUR USERS AND FANS?
Thank you!
Hopefully for your GOOD answers.

You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

Access oracle forms from only one computer

Hi,
We have an ERP software which is created by using Oracle Forms 4.5. We want to give an access to user to use the specified screen of our ERP program from only one computer. Apart from that no one should access the screen from any computer.
Is it possible to do that?
thanks

Upgrade all clients to Windows 7, and leave one with windows 2000 in place. The windows 7 clients most certainly won't be able to run a forms 4.5 application ;)
Why would you want to limit it to one computer? Isn't that what user accounts are for? Or are all users using the same account? You could of course check for the hostname of the client connected to the database:
CHE_TEST@tcp_asterix_impl> select sys_context('userenv', 'host') from dual;
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','HOST')
LINZ\CHE-WSBut this is not a very safe method, as I could boot a virtual machine with NAT so I don't get a name resolution conflict, name it like your machine and connect to the database. User accounts are protected by passwords, if I don't know the password I can't connect to the application (at least it's a little bit harder to hack a password then a hostname ;) )
cheers

Only one computer/device connected to wireless interenet at a time, how can I change this?

I had this set up a couple years ago to where only one computer could be connected to my wireless internet. However, now that I have 2 laptops, an xbox and a Wii, I would like to change this to where more than one computer or device can be connected to my internet at a time. Anyone got a clue how to change this?
I have a WRT54G wireless router.
Thanks.

Have you tried to connect the devices? If so, is the router allowing you to? If not, are you getting any error messages?
By default, if you setup the router before, anyone should be able to connect to it without a problem.

Airport Extreme 'sees' only one computer at a time

Just ought a new Airport Extreme to replace on old Airport Express (flying saucer type) and find that only one computer can access the internet at a time. This is a downgrade odf service from the old Airport Express, and we cannot find any method to fix the problem. Until we solve the computer problem, we cannot go on to figuring out how to connect our iPod Touches and iPhone. All our equipment is Apple, except for the DSL modem supplied by Earthlink. Anyone have any ideas? Earthlink said that there equipment is working properly, and we beliee that because the old system still works perfectly.

No. Something else is going on.
Your son may be hogging all the bandwidth but your wireless network should never simply disappear. Moreover, if your son isn't doing anything the available bandwidth for other devices should remain unaffected.
I suspect that something is miswired, and from what you describe I suspect that link is between the Extreme and the "other computer".
The way to accomplish what you propose is
Modem > Ethernet cable to Extreme's WAN port
Extreme's LAN ports > wired Ethernet devices.
There should be nothing but an Ethernet cable linking an Extreme LAN port and any other wired device. If you run out of available LAN ports on the Extreme, you need to by an "Ethernet switch" - they are not expensive, but don't call it a "splitter" or you will only confuse yourself. The switch would be connected to one of the Extreme's LAN ports, and you would connect additional devices to it. You can also use one of your Expresses for that purpose, assuming it is the current generation model with two Ethernet ports.

Only one computer at a time??

I have a Airport Express setting up a wireless network in the place I'm staying at, and can successfully connect with my iPhone, and MacBook.. but when my wife tries to connect with her Windows Vista laptop, she can not get past the local network to the internet. If I turn off the Macbook, she can then connect, but I cant... It seems that only one computer can connect at one time... is this right? is there a way to change that?
The settings of the AE says that there are 3 connections to it (my Laptop, her laptop and my iPhone). I' have tried changing and even turning off all securities on the AE. And help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.

I believe I read somewhere that the AX limit is ten.
It could be that the LAN it is connected to (I assume that's how you have it connected to the internet) only allows two computers per node -- and the iPhone counts as a computer.
Try turning off Wi-Fi on the iPhone. Will both computers connect then? Since you can't use Wi-Fi for iPhone phone calls, that seems the most expendable of the three devices in the wireless network.

Only one computer can connect to internet at a time!

When my modem is connected, I plug one ethernet line into one computer. That computer sometime has access to the internet, but sometimes it doesn't work, and another computer is able to access the internet. Each computer uses different cables. When one computer has internet, other computers cannot access the internet if we decide to connect via another cable. Using the same cable doesn't work, also. Sometimes, all computers cannot access the internet.
For example, this computer I am using to write this currently has internet. However, when I unplug this computer's ethernet line from the modem and connect the other computer's ethernet line into the modem, it cannot connect. (Safari cannot connect to the internet.) Network diagnosis has a GREEN light next to "Built-In Ethernet," YELLOW for "Network Settings," and RED for the rest (ISP, Internet, Server)
Lastly, in the Network Status in System Preferences, Built-In Ethernet is YELLOW and says that it has a self-assigned IP address. However, I did not self assign the IP and is set to 'Automatic.'
Thank you so much!

Do I understand this correctly? You have one modem with one ethernet jack on it. Only one computer can have access to the internet at a time, depending on who you plug in to the modem? If the computers have wireless capability, you don't have a wireless access point or wireless router, so you can't take advantage of the computers' wireless. You don't have a wired hub or more than one ethernet jack on the modem nor do you have a stand-alone router (that plugs into the single ethernet jack on the modem) with multiple ethernet jacks, so multiple computers cannot connect to the internet simultaneously.
If this is the case, then when you turn on a computer that isn't plugged in, since there is no router there for it to obtain an address from (I'm assuming your computers are set up for DHCP), it is going to try to create/join it's own ad-hoc network and give itself a self-assigned address beginning with 169.x.x.x. (If you had a multi-port hub or wireless access point, with no routing capabilities, this is how you could set up an isolated network of computers without access to the outside world but with access to each other).
Meanwhile, your modem is either giving the plugged-in computer a 192.x.x.x or a 10.x.x.x address (unless you changed stuff in it) or it is passing your public IP address presented to it by your ISP straight through to your plugged-in computer (that was plugged when when you booted up).
So when you unplug one and plug in another, the network settings don't match. If you unplugged one and plugged in the other and then booted up the other one, I would expect to see a working internet connection at that point.
If my original assumption of your home configuration is in error, please describe how you are set up, e.g., internet<-->modem<-->router<-->computers or whatever. Maybe do that anyways, even if my assumption is accurate. Describe whether your modem employs NAT or is in bridge mode? Does it have a DHCP server and is it enabled or is it set up for static IP on your home LAN? Describe whether your router, if not built into the modem, employs NAT or is in bridge mode? Does it have a DHCP server and is it enabled or is it set up for static IP on your home LAN? How are your network settings configured in your computers? DHCP or other (what)? A visit to your modem and/or router configuration pages, to see what the external WAN address (a.k.a. public IP address) (at least the first one or two or three octets), and what do your computers' sys prefs IP address, router address, and DNS server addresses say they are, would be helpful, too (you can safely divulge publicly full 192.x.x.x, 10.x.x.x, and 169.x.x.x addresses because they are not routable). I don't know about other folks reading this, but I would need to know quite a bit more about your home network architecture and configuration.

Home sharing is turned on on both of my computers but only one computer is showing the icon.

I have both of my computers turned on and home sharing is turned on on both computers as well but only one computer is showing the icon so I can't share. I have tried turning off the home share and turning it back on but nothing changed.
Any suggestions?

Can I use only one computer for driver development?

Hi! I'm newbie in driver development and now is first day when I make the acquaintance of driver development. There is the next phrase in MSDN in
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh706187(v=vs.85).aspx
: "For developing, debugging, and installing a kernel-mode driver, you need two computers". But I unfortunately have only one computer and I have to develop the USB Kernel Mode driver as technical assignment for admission to the job.
My computer is under Windows 7 OS and already has standard USB driver. I have Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and WDK 8.1 Update on my computer. Can I use only one computer for driver development and debugging or not?

no, not really, you need two. you can use a VM as the machine under test though.

Why can I copy music to my iPad or iPod touch from multiple computers but from only one computer using my iPhone?

Why can I copy music to my iPad or iPod touch from multiple computers but from only one computer using my iPhone?
IPads and iPod Touches don't seem to have the same media copying restriction that my iPhone has. My main computer is at home. I have music at home and at work and sometimes I like to add it to my iPhone from work. I can do this no problem using my iPad or my iPod touch, but when it comes to my iPhone, I can only copy music to it from my main computer.
Why would the iPhone have this restriction but not the other two devices?
ps. Where's my "add currently playing song to playlist" button? I can't even find a third-party music app with this feature.

Because...!
I've no idea why either.
Although it isn't normally possible to sync an iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers (or manually manage an iPhone from more than one) it can be achieved if all computers have copies of the self same library. See Re: how do i sync on a second laptop without the data on my iPhone 5 being erased?

Connectivity issue from only one computer

Let me start by saying i have 10 servers and about 15 workstations on this network. only one computer (my main computer) has this issue. all other computers work as they should.
This problem started to happen recently and randomly affecting RDP connections to 2 of 10 servers and now affects 5 of 10 servers. I am not sure i did anything to make the problem worse. Additionally I at first suspected it a DNS issue as connecting to the
ip address of effected computer as opposed to host name allows connection but as I said the issue is only on one computer. Looking at the logs below i am stumped.
