"Mobile Me" CONSTANTLY popping up and asking for password
If I get one more "Mobile me can't verify your password, please go into mail settings and check to make sure your username and password are correct" pop up message, I am going to chuck this laptop out into the snow. Please help!
I have MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8. All my servers keep going offline. I am suddenly getting Mobile Me messages. I thought Mobile Me was switched over ages ago. I have multiple server names--some are imap, some are stmp--mac.com, me. com, mobile me.com, etc. etc. My email won't send and only sometimes receives.
1. what should the server I use be called? stmp.mac..com? stmp.icloud.com? imap something?
2. my mail account (when I go into mail preferences) is still "mobile me." Is that correct? Should it be icloud now?
I have looked through these discussions and tutorials but I cannot find/understand the information I need to solve my problem.
I am not tech savvy, so easy step-by-step help is appreciated very much!
My problem and phone is essentially the same (iPhone 4S 6.1.3) and my trouble began after trying to make an "in-app purchase" which did not work. I have tried doing several resets with no luck. Have you found any remedies?

An old Apple ID keeps popping up and asking for password; how do I get rid of it?
Here is what I did to fix it on Win 7 64-bit system:
Computer > C: > Program Files
Delete the Oberon Games File
If you have a Program Files (x86), delete it there, too.
Reboot. -
I am trying to connect Garritan Personal Symphony to Logic Express and Garageband. A dialog box pops up and asks for plugin Garritan-P. Where do I find it and what do I do with it. I can't locate this plugin doing searches on any of the porgrams.
I'm not sure which version of Garritan Personal Orchestra you have or when you are getting a window pop-up, but check this link for starters:

How do I delete and Apple ID ? I had a friend transfer all my stuff from one phone to another using his computer. I can't update or download apps, his ID pops up and asks for his password instead of mine! Ugh so frustrated right now!
You can't delete an Apple ID. Furthermore, everything you transferred is tied permanently to your friend's Apple ID. You do not legally own that software. If you want that software for yourself, then you need to purchase it using your Apple ID.

can't get to settings to turn on wifi because "sign in to icloud" pops up and asks for pw which does not work because i can't get to wifi ?
The problem is I cannot turn on wireless setting. The "sign in to icloud -- enter appleid password" popup will not go away. when i enter the pw and click ok, the same balloon pops up again. If I click "cancel" it pops again. Since I am not on the internet (because I cannot turn the ipad wireless on) the sign in to icloud obviously will not work. Vicious circle.

How can I fix iCal that keeps popping up and asking for my ID
ICal keeps popping up and asking for me to make sure my password and ID are entered correctly. I have been up on my accounts and done this endless times. I have a POP account that I want to add to the list of accounts under ICal's preferences, but I'm stuck when it keeps telling me that it can find my POP server, but the ID doesn't work. I've tried every ID I ever had and it still doesn't work. How can I fix this?
Greetings,
Thats the issue right there. POP is for email, not for calendars. Remove that pop account from the accounts are of iCal.
You would add a POP account to the Mail application to get emails.
Hope that helps. -

Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:

I have changed my icloud user Id and password, but the old user ID still pops up and ask for my password. I cannot delete my old icloud account as it keeps asking password of my old user ID. how can I rectify the problem?
Hey HKKL,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issue relating to the iCloud account after changing your Apple ID email address. The following article addresses this issue and potential resolution:
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
Thanks,
Matt M. -
Hope I'm in the right place. First time user. Not tech savvy. Just upgraded to OSX Mavericks. Box keeps asking me to enter my iCloud password. I keep entering my password but box keeps popping back up asking for password?! I selected cancel but what should I do next time it asks for my iCloud password? Is my iCloud working? How do I retrieve my password?
ThanksIn the iCloud pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked Mail and check it again.

help!!!! So i Changed my apple id account and i was trying to update my instagram app but when i tried to, it brought up the old account and asked for password, help what is going on, what should i do??
- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account. -
I bought my mac book pro from an owner selling. I created my apple ID but whenever I try to download updates it brings up previous owner's apple ID and asks for password. How do I delete or by-pass existing apple ID and use my created apple ID and password to enable updates for my Mac?
Yes, he purchased Mountain Lion on his Apple ID. It is licensed to him. What he should have done was erase the HDD and install the system that the Mac shipped with. Erase and re-install either from Recovery Partition or the disks the Mac originally shipped with. Then, purchase ML with your own Apple ID and install.

Trying to update iphone 4s to ios 8. Install failed for "unknown reasons". Trying to restore I phone from I tunes, asked for password to complete restore. I enter ITunes password and then iphone lock password and neither is accepted. What password is required?
I think the password it asked is the one that you used to encrypt iPhone backup.

My Ipad2 is turning off all Icloud settings and asking for password every minute
Hi,
My Ipad2 is turning off all my icloud settings by itself and asking for the password every minute. After about an hour it works again but only for a few days and starts turning off the settings again.
This started about 3 weeks ago an even when it starts working again for a few days there are still some photos and contacts missing. But on my IPhone and on icloud.com everything is fine.
Has anyone an idea what is happening?Hi,
Thanks for the tip. I deleted the Account and at least everything is back on my ipad. But it was asking for the password a few times since then.
But if it stops turning off all my settings i could live with putting in the password every hour...
I will see if it stops deleting and turning off. -

I am trying to synch things from my mac to my iphone. My Apple screen name is apparently [email protected] but my iphone thinks my screenname is xxxxxx. I can download things on my imac with [email protected] but I am unable to update things on my iphone because it comes up with xxxxxxxx (without the aol.com) asking for my password.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.
