Mail 6.0 or Keychain problem with passwords

I'm using Mountain Lion and mail 6.0 but it seems that mail or keychain keeps on asking for my password.
Mail bounces on by dock because it needs attention. When I go to it, I see a dialogue that says "cannot coonect to the server"
It is asking me for my password. However, I can see that the password is already entered and all I have to do is click OK and the problem is gone until after about 5 minutes. It starts all over again.

Patrick,
I have experienced the same symptoms.
Opening Audio MIDI Setup, and changing the Built-in Output>Format to another choice (2ch-20bit Integer) and then back to the prvious setting (2ch-24bit Integer) briefly fixes the lack of Mail sounds, but unfortunately the problem eventually returns after computer sleep.
I have tried a Safe Boot, and removed the Audio MIDI plist without success.

Problems with passwords after upgrade to Mavericks

Hi,
After upgrading to Mavericks I have problems with passwords. MacOS allows me to log in with my password but when I want to install software it does not accept my password. I can go to the user tab in system preferences and change my passwort there. With the new password it works, but when I change to the old password, I have the same problems. Strange ...
Thanks for help

OK. I found the problem (probably it is not related to the upgrade): When I install an application and the installation procedure asked me for a password it switched the keybord driver to a language I only use infrequently. Since my original password contained special characters the change of the keyboard driver was the cause for my typing in a wrong password. When I tried changing the password I used "abc" and this worked since it did not contain any special characters. So everything explained and a bug for Apple to fix.

IPhoto - MobileMe gallery subscription - problem with password-protected

I am having a peculiar problem with subscribed galleries from MobileMe in iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 09. For galleries that have password-protection enabled, the full URL of the gallery subscription feed is pulled through as the Subscription title instead of the gallery title.
For example "http://gallery.e.com/ACCOUNT-NAME/XXXXXX/?webdav-method-truthget&depth=infinit y&feedfmt=atom....
This doesn't occur for public MobileMe galleries. The title of the gallery comes across and the URL of the subscription is hidden.
Anyone having similar problems? Local Genius Bar couldn't help and assumed it was just a bug, but it doesn't seem to be typical of Apple.
As an aside, it would also be nice to have these feed subscriptions behave similarly to the way RSS subscriptions work in Mail, with the ability to select how often the feed is queried and indicate the number of new items. This would alert users of changes to feeds.
Joe

Upon further research, it appears that this problem occurs when publishing from either iPhoto or Aperture to MobileMe. The problem seems to be when a gallery is published and one chooses not to have the gallery appear on the main gallery page (hidden). It seems to have nothing to do with whether or not one protects the gallery with a password.
So, Apple, if you are listening, can you provide any information on how to have the title of the gallery come through when subscribing using iPhoto while at the same time not listing the gallery on the main MobileMe gallery page? This seems to be a fixable bug.

Keychain Problem with Safari

I have been having a problem with autofill and Safari that I have tracked to Keychain. If I enable autofill and press edit in the window of the prefs of safari then rather than getting all the websites that keychain has access to I get a swod and I have to force quit (safari uses 98% of both CPU's when in this state). If I remove the keychain file from /users/me/library/keychain/me then safari works fine.
I have repaired the keychain and it seems fine when verified and repaired but there must be a corruption somewhere. Has anyone an idea how this might be fixed without resorting to deleting the file and starting again. That would be too boring.
I might add that I have a new Intel MacBook PRO and this happened after I transfered all my user data to the new computer. Might this have something to do with it?

I have found the problem. There was an internet password that was causing the corruption. I copied the Keychains file to the desktop and then modified the one in my Keychains folder in the user Library until safari no longer crashed when pressing the edit button in the names and passwords prefs.
So I was able to, by elimination, find the offending file that was causing the hang. Slow and tedious. It is also worrying that the system was unable to determine that there was a problem with this one file.

Keychain problems with itunes

Hi,
I had some work done on my ibook and since bringing it home, I haven't been able to use the itunes store. I get a message saying "the requested keychain could not be found."
I have run keychain first aid and that didn't work. I have deleted the old keychains and that didn't work.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Stephanie

Have you found a solution to this problem yet? I am now having the same issues, only I made the BIG mistake of resetting my keychains and now I way way back to square 1 with passwords. What a pain!! BUT I still cannot access the music store. This is really bugging me!
Any luck yet????
Please send help...

Problem sending mail via 3g/edge , no problem with wifi

Hello,
I'm having problem with my iphone sending email via the 3g/edge network. When I am in wifi mode i don't have any problem.
I can receive email via 3g/edge and wifi . The problem is only sending email.
I have setup SMTP with login and password, with SSL, with pass auth and port 587
I try with port 465 and i have the same problem with 3g/edge , but no problem with wifi.
Any help please?

ok. i found the solution.
The problem is not in the iphone, the problem was DNS resolution in the server side.

WRT54 GS problem with password on set up CD

Hi, I have bought a new-ish WRT54GS and connected up correctly according to the instructions. When I get to stage 8 the CD asks me for a password after checking the settings on my computer. Yes, I have tried all the hard reset techniques described on this site, with holding reset button etc. and no joy. Plus the config website 192.168.1.1 seems to point to my modem and I cannot see any info on Linksys router. Can anyone help please?

Can someone please offer some advice please as i am still not able to get past this stage! I have done al of the recommended procedures of holding the reset button 30 secs on and off etc. but still nothing. I think that most of the threads on this site relate to the password within the router, not on the set up CD which I have a problem with. Also the recommended ip address takes me to the set up page for my modem, which is functionaing as it should, so I am completely stuck!!!

Problems with password server after opendirectory master ip address change

Hello,
I had to change the IP address of our opendirectory master and am having trouble now. This is on Tiger Server 10.4.5
I followed the directions to use the "changeip" command and the clients use DHCP-supplied LDAP server information.
This seemed to work in that I could use 'id username' to see the network users on a client, but could not login.
I was browsing the workgroup manager using the inspector and noticed that there were two entries under AuthenticationAuthority for each user "ApplePasswordServer" and "kerberosv5". Each of these had the old IP address in them. I changed them by hand and now logins work.
The problem is that, new users created with password server passwords are being created with the old IP address, lame. Second, changing them all by hand is also lame..
So can anyone tell me what I did wrong and how to change the server IP? I noticed that it exists in /Library/Preferences/DirectoryService/DSLDAPv3PlugInConfig.plist and /var/db/authserver/authserverreplicas as well. Just changing those pooches and rebooting didn't do anything but put them back the way they were.

Hi,
it turned out the problem was due to a mismatch in the ACLs between the ASA and the remote site 2911.
We had no matching line in the ASA config for traffic between the office and the extranet server. On the office router, we had:
permit ip 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 host 3.3.3.3
So, on the ASA, we had to add:
access-list office101 line 8 extended permit ip host 3.3.3.3 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
I'm not sure why the behaviour was different between the ASA versions i.e. why we did not experience any issues when we had the misconfig at version 8.4(3) but it caused problems with higher versions. Also, cannot explain why it only really seemed to be one site that was affected (we had the same config mismatch at other sites which were seemingly alright)
However, ultimately, it was the config mismatch that was causing the problem and, after rectifying that, we were able to upgrade and our remote site VPN connectivity remained stable.

Problems with password for alias email address

I am using two e-mail addresses, one the original @verizon.net and an alias I set up @alias.com
I was regularly -- but it seemed sporadically -- getting this following message, sometimes when I tried accessing, but sometimes just when the Apple Mail was open but I wasn't doing anything:
Enter the password for user “ -- alias address --” on IMAP server “mail.--alias--.com”
For a while I hit 'cancel' and everything worked fine.
But then I went into "account" and tried to fix the problem ... and I think I changed the password for the alias. In any case, I am unsure what the password is...and I can't see it on Preferences/Accounts.
Now the root "Inbox" and the "alias" addresses have the tilde by them, indicating offline. Nothing I do gets rid of the tilde. I get that same request for password.
Nonetheless I am still getting all e-mails through the secondary "Verizon" account. That does not have the tilde and is receiving all my e-mails.
I want to clean this up...and avoid the annoying continuing often request for password.
AS I WAS TYPING THIS, the message from Apple Mail popped up again. I had to hit 'cancel' or 'OK' (back and forth, each one) several times before it stopped popping up. This has happened before.

Have spent hours in Preferences/Account ... deleted account, replaced account ... tried SSL on and SSL off. Read "Help/If you can't receive messages". Used Connection Doctor.
I CAN send messages with my alias but am not receiving to it. This is a major problem for me.
There seems to be no way to find out what my correct password should be. I've got two in storage, one much more likely than the other. But neither works.
I'm also uncertain of incoming mail server correct name.

ICloud keychain problem with cyprus dialling code

hello, i am from cyprus and i have just downloaded mavericks on my MBPR...
While i was trying to turn on iCloud Keychain i realized cyprus dailing code wasnt there. is it nessesary to put cyprus dialing code that is 357, or just ignore it? is there something to do?

Hello
I had the same problem but i have overpassed it by trying the below :
If your country is not listed here, SMS verification is not currently available in your country. You can still use iCloud Keychain by following these steps:
Devices using iOS 7.0.3
Go to Settings > iCloud > Keychain.
Enter your Apple ID password.
When asked if you want to use your device passcode as the iCloud Security Code, tap Create Different Code.
Tap Advanced Options, then choose one of these options:
Get a Random Security Code.
Don't Create Security Code. Choosing not to create an iCloud Security Code means that your iCloud Keychain is stored only locally on your device and updates only across your approved devices, not with Apple's servers.
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete setup of iCloud Keychain.
Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then select Keychain.
Enter your Apple ID password.
Click Advanced, then choose one of these two options:
Get a Random Security Code.
Don't Create Security Code. Choosing not to create an iCloud Security Code means that your iCloud Keychain is stored only locally on your Mac and updates only across your approved devices, not with Apple's servers.
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete setup of iCloud Keychain.

HT5621 I have 2 email addresses ( 1 mac. and 1 blueyonder.) with separate Apple IDs for each ( again 1 mac and 1 blueyonder). This has consistently given me problems with passwords and I would now like to combine them into one account to help overcome thi

I have 2 email addresses (1 mac.and 1 blueyonder.) each with separate identities and passwords. I am forever getting asked to verify identity and/or passwords and having these refused and me then having to set up new ones. Can I combine my email addresses to a single Apple Identity and Password? If yes then How?
Any help much appreciated as this is driving me crazy!

Depending on what you're asking...
There is no means to merge Apple IDs. You can change the mail address assocaited with your Apple ID, so you might switch to using and purchasing from one email address, and using the second as a backup. (There's no means to merge the purchases, and related baggage.)
While I'm guessing this was about Apple IDs, for completeness... Combining the mail messages involving multiple email addresses is separate from the Apple ID; that is usually done with some combination of notifying the senders or with the forwarding of messages from one mail server to the preferred server. Or running multiple mail accounts in parallel, depending on what you are up to.

Keychain problem with Chrome

recently I noticed as soon as I login in Chrome browser that a pop up windows tells unable to login keychain to install chrome storage something like that
it gives option to reset all keychain but doesn't work still stuck and I have to restart the system, I noticed taht it happens mainly when I insert my usb key wi-fi if I insert after opening Google page no problem I have to find out why all this happens and rectify Thanks help

Chrome extensions have a habit of conflicting both with each other and some Mac Safari extensions.
Try disabling them then introducing them one at a time until the guilty one owns up.
It is all to easy to get wound up with all these itsy bitsy programs which actually achieve very little. Indeed, I had one experience where the dreaded MacKeeper was introduced via a Chrome extension. Fortunately I spotted it in time.

Problems with password including non-ASCII characters

I am a German language user with a German keyboard but an English OS as main language. Therefore my passwords (simple user and admin) includes non-ASCII characters used in German, French and Spanish language, which increases security. This works fine in the majority of login scenarios. There are, however, 3 scenarios where neither my non-ASCII simple user nor my non-ASCII admin PW are accepted:
1) running "sudo" in Terminal;
2) When I try to shut down and another user account is still open. Doing this brings up a login window asking for the PW of the other user that does not accept non-ASCII;
3) Using Leopard/SnowLeopard CacheCleaner. Upon opening, this app asks for an admin PW, but does not recognize non-ASCII.
Am I right in assuming that this has to do with non-ASCII PWs? I thought ASCII times were gone given the remarkable language flexibility of Mac OS over the years. I know this stupid problem only from Win XP. There it is even worse.
Is there a way to overcome this problem without always temporarily changing my PW? Thanks.

I think the problem is with the applications themselves and should be reported to the developer. Although some non-ASCII characters are acceptable for an admin password, in my experience most Unix systems don't like non-ASCII characters in passwords. It may be easier to avoid them if you can.
OS X should simply request your admin password to shut down when another user account is open. An alert dialog usually appears warning that the other user is still logged in and giving you the option to log the other account out then shut down. But in my experience the only authorization needed is for your admin account.
