MobileMe Password Error

I know that MobileMe has been inactive for some time, but a message pops up on my screen every 10 minutes telling me that I have "entered an invalid MobileMe member name or password." I can't remember my password, and cannot get the messages to stop. I have searched for how to reset my password, but since it is not connected to my iTunes store (as far as I can tell) I can't find the answer I need.
NEVERMIND I figured it out but now I can't delete this post! Oops!

How can I set Apple Mail to not remember MobileMe password

For security reasons, I'd like to set Apple Mail to prompt me for my MobileMe password when ever I open the program but there is not option for this in the preferences.
I have accomplished this with my other(non-MobileMe) mail accounts by just erasing the passwd from these accounts in the accts. prefs. Apple Mail prompts me to enter those email acct passwds when I open Apple mail BUT when I try this with my MobileMe acct. I will get a prompt to enter my MobileMe password but I also get this error:
"You entered an invalid MobileMe member name or password. Verify your MobileMe member name and password in MobileMe System Preferences."
and I lose my MobileMe passwd in the MobileMe Acct settings in System Prefs.
Anyone have a solution for Apple Mail to prompt me for MobileMe password

This problem was solved by the suggestion given by Ralph Johns in this post:

Repeatedly being asked for MobileMe password

Something's wrong with my keychain, and it's driving me bananas. Any help would be appreciated.
For instance, I keep getting asked to enter my MobileMe password in Mail. Even though I enter it correctly, it won't accept it. It keeps popping up the same password dialog. Mac OS then complains that "There was a problem saving to your keychain." When I go into my Keychain Access and perform a repair, it finds nothing wrong, of course. The only way to repair it seems to be to delete the entire login keychain, reboot, and then happily re-enter all my password information again. This seems to work for another week or so, until the same permission problem re-appears.
I have no idea where the culprit lies. I am syncing everything on my Macs using MobileMe, including the keychain itself, and I wonder whether it is somehow being corrupted.

Try verifying your keychain for errors.
Open the /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.app
Then from the Application Menu choose keychain firstaid. Putin your username and password click on the Verify button.

How do I stop the popup that tells me I entered the wrong MobileMe password? Since the day I entered the wrong one, every time I turn it on now, the notification pops up- even if I'm not trying to log into my Mobile Me account.

How do I stop an "invalid password" notification popup from popping up continually?From the first time I entered a wrong Mobile Me password, even when I am not trying to access my account, it continually pops up over whatever I have on the screen. I can drag it down out of the way, but when I hit the "ok" button, in a few seconds, it pops back up again. Help, this is so annoying!

Try opening Keychain Access (found in /Applications/Utilities), then locate your MobileMe password there (it'll have the same name as your MobileMe username, and will have a MobileMe icon) and delete it.

Could RADIUS be be the responsible? Why RADIUS will send so many attempts to the AD/DCs?
We´re using 802.1X with NPS n the DCs and user have two devices in the same physical port of HP the Switch: the user´s computer AND a Alcatel IP Phone, authenticated by a DOmain
User (service account) using MD5
We do not trace much information right now, but some of the users that are complaining about that, have changed their password recently, therefore, for some reason, the old
password are being re-used?

Hi Kay,
Since user passwords got changed recently, the account lockouts should be caused by stored expired credentials. Credentials can be stored within services, programs, scheduled tasks, scripts, RDP sessions or even mobile phones.
I suggest you try to locate the machine where bad password attempts are generated through event messages, or by using network monitor to capture real-time network traffic. After that, find the source which is sending the bad password, then clear stored credentials
on it.
If the source cannot be located, you may rename those problematic accounts to avoid subsequent lockouts.

I need a little help accessing my mail on my mac and my iphone 4s after changing my password on Yahoo as someone hacked my account. I can't get mail, I just get Password error every time :(

Hi people,
A little stumped for what to do here... I had my Yahoo hacked, changed my yahoo password (Yahoo is the account configured to 'mail' on both my mac and iphone)... however since changing my password I have found I can't access my mail on either with out it asking me to enter my password. When I do, it say's 'Password error'. Sometimes it re-directs me to the actual 'Yahoo' browser saying I need to verify my account, but basically I can't use the mail function on either device now! I know you may suggest deleting the account and re-installing it to each device and I feel this would probably work as well but (and this is the tricky bit)... all my NOTES are configured through Yahoo, only some are through icloud (which is odd). All notes are about 201, icloud about 77 and the rest on Yahoo and when I go to delete the account it says it will also delete all my notes :/ Now, I am a bit of a writer, and these notes are pretty sacred to me so losing them isn't an option. I don't want to lose them. Is there anything any one of you lovely peeps can suggest. It would be much appreciated.

Yes, you have encountered Activation Lock (Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support). The only way that phone will ever be usable is if the owner the phone is locked to releases it (see: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support). If you are lucky the phone is locked to the seller, so you can ask them to unlock it. If the seller is merely a middleman and the previous owner is not the seller it gets much more complicated. It's even possible that you bought a stolen phone, in which case you will never be able to use it and you should return it for a refund.

"pdf. protected by a password" error for a few users only

Hi
Lately I have had complaints that some of the users of my website are getting "pdf. protected by a password" errors when trying to open PDF files from our website. The files are created using abdpdf (abcpdf3.dll). For 99% of our userbase there seems to be no problem but for some we are now encountering this error. There is no password required to open the file (although there is an encryption owner password set), and the only other settings we have are that the ability to change, copy and edit are all set to false.
There doesn't seem to be a common denominator in regards to environments that the users encountering the problem are using.
Mac or PC users, Windows XP/7 etc, IE, Firefox, Chrome etc.
Just for clarification, the users are only trying to open the pdf, not edit it.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Thanks
Steve

It appears that this may be an issue with Firefox 25 (it seems I was misinformed about the other browsers).
Info I got from a user:
The error only happens in Firefox Ver 25 I tried ver 24 and it worked OK an it also works on Internet Explorer or saving the link and opening the document with Adobe reader.
System info Windows 8.1
Firefox Ver 25
If this is the case is this the forum that I should be looking for answers on or should I go to Firefox for answers?
Thanks

Ow do I resolve an incorrect name or password error?

Salut!
I have two comps. All were connected to FirefoxSync. After last update to v.19, the second computer stoped sync - incorrect name or password error.
I have set new password on the main computer and copyed recovery Key.
Then I have done the next on my second computer:
At the top of the Firefox window, click the Tools menu and select Set Up Sync. The Firefox Sync Setup window will open.
Click I Have an Account.
Since you're not near the device with Sync already set up, click the I don't have the device with me link.
Sign in to your Sync account:
Enter your account email address
Enter your password
Enter your Recovery Key
Then click Next
All the time I have error - incorrect name or password error?
What should I do else?

Malformed Password error retured by AAA on password reset

I have setup AAA with LDAP on my Windows 2003 AD servers. Normal authentication seems to be working fine, however if I set a user to require a password change, I get a Malformed Password error in the logs.
I am using this with the Clientless SSL portal, the error on the portal page indicates that the password did not meet our complexity requirments, however that is not correct. I have tried numerus passwords and they always fail.
Any ideas?

Just in case anyone has encountered a similar problem I'm posting the solution, which was arrived at by the hard-working guys at my ISP, Eclipse Internet in the UK.
My N96 works beautifully with the Exchange server now that I've changed my username in Profiles > Credentials from my email address to a username beginning with "EM" followed by seven digits. According to my ISP:
The EM username is the original username that the account is setup against and is used during the provisioning of the address, in all most all cases you won't have to use it but obviously we had to be more selective with the Nokia.
We're not sure exactly why the handset works with this username, but it does, and I hope the information can provide an angle of attack for anyone experiencing this problem.

Reset/change password error - cannot log in to builder - HELP!

I'm encountering the same problem I described some time ago here: Reset/change password error - cannot log in to builder
Briefly, the builder tells me I must change my password. When I attempt to do so, the password change page displays a null username, and tells me that my existing password is invalid. The same password failure occurs using the new password emailed to me by the "Rest password" function.
I've cleared my browser cache, closed the browser, rebooted my client (WinXP), to no avail.
Anyone able to help?
Thanks
jd

Update:
Workaround: log in using a different client machine.
Scary.
It looks the same problem reported, without response, here: Apex.oracle.com SaaS Login - Must Change Password.

My icloud e-mail won't come online. Keeps telling me there's a user/password error

I'm trying to bring my email online but I keep getting the same messge that icloud can't connect. When I run online doctor, it says the connection to the internet is good but all the red dots have a user/password error. I've gone through every password/user combo i've ever used and no dice. All of this didnt' start happening until I installed mountain lion. How do I fix this?

Your talking about the network preferences? Delete all those red dots.. (minus sign) then just put what you need back (plus sign). If you are wireless... then choose wifi. If you have an eithernet cable connected to your computer choose eithernet. Also to the right of those "red lights" There is something that says Location. Select Edit locations then press the plus sign and call it Automatic 2. Then delete all the other locations including the one that says Automatic. Then just rename the Automatic 2 back to Automatic.

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
