    Hi, Trex8.
    There are a couple things that you can try to resolve this issue.  First, I would recommend processing any updates needed to the computer and iTunes.  You can check for updates in iTunes by selecting the help menu and check for updates.  If iTunes is on the current version, see the article below.

    Make sure to test the results after each troubleshooting step processed.

    Things I tried
     - I have created new outlook profile - still same problem

    Only happening on Office 2013 not office 2007
    One thing I did notices when I was debugging the problem.
    When I removed the office and reinstalled the problem went away for
    whole 1 week but then on Monday it start asking for password again which
    makes be thing that they is something in group policy which is causing
    this.
    We are using

     - Our emails are being hosted by Microsoft clod
    I don't know what else to try or check.

    Hi,
    Does this issue happen to all clients or a special one?
    Please first check if Logon network security under More Settings on the Microsoft Exchange
    Security tab is set to a value other than Anonymous Authentication.

    Hi Gavin229,
    Welcome to the Support Communities! 
    If you have changed your AppleID information or password, you will need to sign out of your existing iCloud or iTunes Store accounts and sign back in with the new information.
    The articles below will explain this in more detail ...

  • Finder keeps asking for password verification

    Finder keeps asking for password verification when I ask to move or delete a file.
    How can I stop this from happening?
    Thanks in advance.

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume 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.

  • My used macbook is asking for password to unlock different keychains, how do i reset the password?

    my used macbook is asking for password to unlock different keychains, how do i reset the password?

    Hi nylife02,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    Without knowing the exact keychain alert your are receiving, I will leave articles for the ones that are most likely the culprit. The one it sounds most like to me is “login” keychain. Please review the article below if indeed you are receiving the “login” keychain prompt.
    OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1631
    Another keychain prompt that this may be is the “Local Items” keychain. Please follow the attached article if the prompt is for “Local Items” keychain.

    Though it's unlikely to be wrong if things were set up properly in the first place, as a check go to Mail Preferences>Accounts and check that the server setting for IMAP (incoming) is imap.mail.me.com (not just mail.me.com).
    Your next step either way would be to go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign out, then sign back in again. (You can ignore warnings about data disappearing - your calendars etc. will disappear when you sign out but reappear when you sign back in).

    When trying to download Apps, ipad keeps asking for password. Correct password given but has no effect and box requesting password input appears again.

    Try downloading something in the iTunes app on the iPad and see if that gets you out of the password loop that you are stuck in.
