Mail will not take password

I changed my gmail password on the website and now it is asking me for it on my MacBook Air Mail and my Iphone and when I enter the new password it is telling me it is incorrect.
I works at gmail.com - I reset it and it still works at gmail.com and not on my computer or phone.
I deleted my gmail account from my phone and tried to reset it up and it didn't work.

  • Cannot get mail will not keep password

    cannot get mail will not keep password

    Use Keychain First Aid:
    Open Keychain Access, located in Applications/Utilities
    Choose Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid.
    Enter your user name and password.
    Select Repair and click Start.
    If any problems are found run again to verify all repaired.
    In Mail, when you add the password in the account window, you have to click out of the account to save. When you add the password in SMTP settings it saves automatically.

  • Yahoo mail will not accept password on new iphone 5

    Yahoo mail will not accept my password and load e-mails.  What to do?

    I e-mailed Yahoo for help with Yahoo mail and was given the following instructions:  Remove Yahoo account from your iPhone, turn the phone off and back on, and then re-add to trigger a re-sync on your Yahoo acccount.  This worked with no problem!!  I was also given a link for a Yahoo Help article which I have included below.  For those of you who are having issues, I hope this solves them!

  • Mail will not retain password

    My assistant and I have run mail for a year with no problem until recently. About 2 weeks ago Mail on her iMac OS 10.3.9 would ask for her password approximately every ten minutes. Yesterday my eMac OS 10.3.9 started exhibiting the same behavior. Any solutions?

    I'm having the same problem on my G4 with 10.3.9. I had no problems until recently. I have three different mail accounts, and every so often Mail will ask for the password for one or the other account. It doesn't happen every time it checks for mail and not for the same account every time. The message that it gives is:
    The POP server “pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com” rejected the password for user...
    For example, I just ran Mail and it checked for mail fine. I then clicked "Get Mail" and one of the three accounts were rejected. I cleared that, clicked get mail, and a different account was rejected. I have run Keychain First Aid a couple of times. This is really weird and frustrating.

  • I have a Mac Pro. Tried to use it today and the Adobe Flash will not reinstall. After 3 years it will not take password.

    My Mac Pro is three years old. Today when trying to use the adobe flash it is not working. after trying to reinstall the program, there is no way it will take pass word to reinstall this program. Can anyone give an idea as to how this can be repaired.

  • Mail will not add passwords

    when i try to add passwords for my account in mail preferences they won't stay--i am always prompted to give password each time--when i go back into mail preferences the passwords are not saved, even though i have checked to save them

    Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the keychain. If that doesn’t work, try removing the password entry from the keychain and letting Mail create it again the next time it asks for it.

  • Mail will not take attachments

    When I try to attach a document with "attach" button in mail program, nothing happens. Same thing if I try to drag and drop an icon into the email from a finder window. The only way I can make it work is from within the other program--for example, if I'm working in Word, I can go to the file menu and use "send to" but that opens up a new email window.
    any ideas?
    jeannie

    When I drag a file onto the mail icon in the doc, a new letter opens with the attachment attached. I never knew you could do that. But if I have a letter already started, or if I hit "reply" and start writing a note, and then want to attach a file, that won't really help.
    When I click on "attach" at the top of the letter, a finder window opens, I can navigate to the file, but when I hit "choose", the window disappears and the cursor is blinking in the letter, but no file is there.

    Hi Nuch1,
    I found an article that is contains very thorough Mail troubleshooting steps:
    OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
    You can use that article to figure out what part of the email "ecosystem" is the cause of the issue, and it can also help you attempt to resolve it.
    Hope that helps,

    Re: Macbook Pro 10.6.8 RAM Upgarde to 8 GB
    The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
    10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
    Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

    Exactly which password are you inputting? iCloud looks for your AppleID password.

  • When I try to install flash player on my mac, I get to the panel that asks for my name and password, and it will not take my password.  tried changing to a new password and same result

    When I try to install flash player on my Mac, I get to the panel that asks for my name and password, but it will not take my password.  Tried changing the password, but same result.  Suggestions??

    This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
    If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
    If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.

  • HT5622 My iPad will not take my Apple username and password since I upgraded to 7.0.2

    My iPad will not take my username and password since I upgraded to 7.0.2.

    try this
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings  (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
    (no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).

  • Apple Mail will not store my password

    10.8.4 Mail will not keep 3 of my account's passwords. They are all IMAP hosted at Dreamhost. I can access them on my iPhone, iPad, and web just fine. I've:
    - rebooted
    - reset the passwords at Dreamhost
    - deleted the accunts from Mail and added them back
    - run the keychain firstaid (no joy). The passowrds do not ever show up in keychain
    The Console continually shows:
         9/4/13 10:47:17.197 AM Mail[4619]: Error updating the value of the Internet password for [email protected]@mail.xxxxxxxx.com: -25295
         9/4/13 10:47:17.197 AM Mail[4619]: Error finding an Internet password for [email protected]@mail.xxxxxxx.com: -25295
    The password field under Mail ->Preferences-> Accounts is blank, even when I retype it, save it, click a different account, and immediately look at the problem account again
    The weird part is that my mail comes in sporadically, but then Mail will ask for the password, I key it in, and immediately the same box pops up asking for the password. It's like there is a "glitch" with it saving it into the Keychain, but like I said, Keychain First Aid didn't pick up anything.
    Any thoughts?

    @Eric- Keychain wasn't locked
    @Linc- Thanks. I did that and got the following from the Console:
    9/4/13 1:51:17.023 PM com.apple.SecurityServer[16]: Sandbox denied authorizing right      'system.keychain.create.loginkc' by client '/Applications/Mail.app' [336]
    9/4/13 1:51:18.245 PM sandboxd[495]: ([336]) Mail(336) deny authorization-right-obtain      system.keychain.create.loginkc
    So i figured that the Keychain was corrupted. I tried FirstAid again, but it didn't flag anything, so I deleted the Keychain file.
    Update: Ok, so after resetting the Keychain and getting error messages that the Keychain file was invalid, I figured the file was corrupted. I reset the default Keychain (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1544) and then ran Keychain First Aid (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7296) and that fixed it. All of my Keychain passwords are wiped now, but Mail is communicating with Keychain just fine.
