Mail not recognizing new password

All right so I recently had to change the password on one of my Yahoo.com mail accounts because I could not remember the last one. I have this one linked up the mail application on my computer, however it is not recognizing the new password (yes, I'm typing it in correctly, in fact I'm just copy + pasting it). I also checked keychain and it didn't find any problems  apparently when I ran first aid.
How do I get my computer to recognize my new password? This is ridiculous.

Unfortunately it is not recognizing the password still. It recognizes the copy + pasted password on yahoo.com, but when I use the copy + pasted password with apple mail (even after deleting it) it doesn't recognize it.
It was giving me a message that it couldn't connect when I put in the password. However I figured it out. What I had to do was copy the password from what I had, put it into the login area for yahoo.com, have firefox remember the password, then copy that password from firefox's preferences and paste that into the apple password part.
Weird thing is though is when I looked at the two (the one I had kept typed and the copied one from the saved yahoo) they were exactly the same, so I don't know why it wasn't recognizing it.
Thank you for replying to my question though!

    I just updated to Lion OS x 10.8.2. I reset my Apple ID password. iTunes recognizes it but iCloud does not. I have retried. No success.

  • Mail not recognizing new certificate, recognizing old expired certificate.

    Recently the Thawte certificate for the SSL mail server at work expired and Mail could no longer connect to our mail server. No one else in the office uses a Mac and no one else seemed to be affected. IT claimed all their certs were up to date. I contacted the fine folks at Thawte and they hooked me up with the new cert. I've added that to my X509Anchors keychain, along with the root cert from Thawte to be sure, and Mail is not recognizing it. In fact, the old expired cert is in my login keychain, so I delete it, but every time Mail attempts to connect to the mail server, the old expired cert reappears in my login keychain and it gives me the same "expired cert" error message. Temporary workaround has been to change my system date/time so it is within the valid dates of the old expired cert, but that renders my calendar useless, and other problems. What is going on? Any ideas? How can I get Mail to use the new valid cert?

    Anna,
    I am having the same issue. I am on a new laptop without my cert, so I downloaded it again from thawte but it only installs the public key, not the private key.

    mail is suddenly not recognizing my password.  it has done this now and then for a few minutes, but this time it's been days.  anything I can do?

    try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. The servers may still be having a hard time keeping up, so you may just need to wait a little while and try again.

    Apple is not recognizing my password. I haven't changed anything. It's been that same for years, now it can't access my email. Any ideas?

  • Apple not recognizing known password.  Iforgot does not send email verification.  Help please.

    Apple not recognizing known password.  Iforgot does not send email verification.  Help please.
    Don't know any other way to put it.  I typed in the correct password.  Now the account is locked.  Iforgot does not send an email verification.  The email is not in the junk mail or anywhere else.  It is typed correctly.  This is frustrating.  I was just trying to update the Ipad Mini.  I wanted to change the ownership to my husband and noticed that my daughter attached a new Icloud account.  I was just trying to verify her account.  I have the correct password.  Now the account is locked out.

    I figured it out.  It's a little confusing.  I was trying to add a new email address for iCloud and I was supposed to type in the main iCloud user ID and password.  The wording is not helpful because it displays the name of the new email address.

    I did not find the exact solution on the suggested site. only found the Error Code and description.
    Then I searched on Google.com and found following result which has successfully solved my problem.
    LSNRCTL> change_password
    Old password:
    New password:
    Reenter new password:
    Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=DBDEV1)(PORT=1526)))
    TNS-01169: The listener has not recognized the password
    LSNRCTL> set password

    Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=DBDEV1)(PORT=1526)))
    TNS-01169: The listener has not recognized the password
    LSNRCTL>
    Regardless of how you enter the password, through a single line or on the prompt, the change will not be successful. To change the password, you have to remove the line passwords_listener in the file listener.ora and then change the password.
    Thanks

  • Pages for iPad is not recognizing the password I assigned to a document.  I included a hint, and I know I am entering the password that goes with the hint.  Is there anything I can do to access my doc?

    Pages for iPad is not recognizing the password I assigned to a document.  I included a hint, and I know I am entering the password associated with the hint.  Is there anything I can do to access my document?  i quite the Pages app and restarted it.  Now I guess I'll reset the iPad and see if that helps.   Thanks!

    Interesting that one does not need the password to delete using Finder.
    The Pages password protects the contents of the document.  If there were a Finder password, it would protect what you might think of as the "file wrapper" ... the stuff around the file content.
    Glad it's not vital.  I have to say I only pasword protect those Pages documents that are, in fact, vital.
    Best of luck.

  • 5530 music player not recognizing new songs

    hi all,
    new problem for me. the nokia music player is not recognizing new music. it just files them under unknown. the files are properly tagged. the only way to get it to recognize the files is to format the sd card and put the music back on the card.
    also after deleting music, the player still has the files in its unknown folder, even after updating the music library.
    very frustrating as i use the phone everyday as my main music player. this problem has only turned up in the past couple of weeks, with me changing nothing else on the phone.
    any advise?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi, just try up this found somewhere-
    You can do this to rebuild the library as it is corrupted.
    Restart your device and then refresh your library. If this doesn't help then;
    Connect the phone to your pc/lappy and put in 'Data transfer' mode.
    To delete the library files:
    - Ensure you can see hidden files in Windows Explorer:
    Windows Explorer .. Tools .. Folder Options .. View
    Select "Show hidden files and folders"
    - Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable in "Data transfer" mode
    - Find and rename (or delete if you're really brave) files with names like:
    E:\private\101FFC31\mpxv1.mpd
    E:\private\101FFC31\pcv5.mpd
    E:\private\101ffca9\harvesterdb.dat
    (assuming the phone's mass memory / card has been connected as E)
    Note that the folder names may be different and the files may have prefixes - eg: mpxv1.mpd could be called abcmpxv1.mpd.  Basically, you need to search under the Private folder for any files that look similar.
    Now just refresh the Music Player library and the job is done.
    This will take longer than normal as it's a complete refresh, but it should now work.
    Please thank me by giving 'KUDOS' star. It will help me to serve you better.
    Currently using N82 and 5230. Next would be N?

  • I downloaded carbon copy. transferred entire internal hd  to new replacement HD  thru USB.  computer booted from replacement hrdrive. then installed replacement hard rive into iMac. when rebooting imac did not recognized new replacement hd.

      i downloaded carbon copy. transferred entire internal hd  to new replacement HD  thru USB adapter kit.  computer booted from replacement hrdrive. then i erased the internal hardrive and reloaded the operating system.( i needed to find out if the hard drive was bad or virus/worm was the cause). then installed replacement hard drive into iMac. when rebooting, imac did not recognized new replacement hd. i also upgraded memory at the same time.  ok what did i do wrong. do i have to remove the new replacement hardrive to extract the data.

    It should not matter. CCC will "clone" the recovery partition as well, but not knowing exactly what operation you had CCC perform it is difficult to know what may have gone wrong - it has many customizable options and you have to choose the correct one.
    I have performed the same transplant as you described and didn't have a problem, but if your Mac is not recognizing the internal HD you really have no choice other than to reinitialize it as suggested. After that, install OS X, upgrade to Mountain Lion if required, and migrate your old account(s) from your backup.
    my backups have backups.
    I assume you didn't mean that literally. Have redundant backups - don't "back up your backups".

  • Itunes is not recognizing my password

    I'm trying to purchase a song and suddeny iTunes is not recognizing my password. I log in to Manage my AppleID and that seems to recognize it just fine;  for some reason iTunes is just not accepting it. I'm absolutely typing it in correctly, and it's the same password I've had for ages so it can't be wrong.
    I do not think reseting the password is, or should be, my only option: I have too many passwords to keep track of as is.

    Sorry is should have probably mentioned this problem is on my computor. I am using itunes 11 and win 8( never had a problem till now ) . My password seams to work fine on the appstore on my phone ( just checked )
    When I try to use my password in itunes on my pc it wont let me log in, and get a unknown error message along with have you forgoten your password... which I havent.
    Thanks for the sugestions

  • My appleid is not recognizing my password! I've reset it several times already!

    This is very frustrating! I have set up my apple account, etc and everytime I try to sign in with my appleid, it's not recognizing my password! I've already reset my password several times to accommodate the stupid error! Someone please help!!

    If your son continues to have admin access, it means that he has unrestricted access to the password after you change it.
    Another accessible admin account was mentioned.
    He has put his user id in the /etc/sudoers file with root access.
    You keep the password in a text file in your account. He has changed the access permissions on that file, so he can read this from his account. Similarly, you keep the password someplace that is no longer secret.
    He or a sibling has distracted you with conversation while watching your admin keystrokes.
    His own keystroke logger tracking what you type, or freely downloadable password cracking software.
    You choose passwords that are simple for you and may be readily guessable family, pet, or household object names, birthdates, etc. Choose something that is off his guess radar. A name of something unique before he was born.
    You hope he hasn't shared the admin password with someone outside the home.
    Some ideas for you. Discipline isn't taking away the computer, it is temporarily taking away other privileges perceived as more valuable, if the password intrusions do not stop.

  • ITunes not recognizing new PC and, therefore, doesn't recognize my IPOD

    ITunes not recognizing new PC even though it says it is authorized. The result: ITunes doesn't recognize my IPOD. It does still have my old PC name attached to my account. What can I do to rectify this situation?

    It could be a tiny bit of fluff in the dock that's preventing a particular wire from connecting. A magnifying glass and a decent light should let you inspect the port. If there is any rubbish lodged in the dock opening use a can of compressed air or a fine needle to ease it out taking care not to damage the connectors.
