MobileMe removed but "invalid password" popup persists

Hello,
I'm having difficulties pertaining to what I assume is MobileMe software lingering on my computer. I'm running an iMac 9,1 with OS X 10.6.8. Awhile ago I uninstalled the MobileMe software. Despite the program seemingly gone from the computer, I'm still getting a popup ~every 30 mins that reads,
"You entered an invalid MobileMe member name or password. Verify your MobilMe member name and password in MobileMe System Preferences."
I'm perplexed as to how this popup is continuing. I've verified all of the MobileMe program files are gone from the computer (cannot locate any in the System/Library, Library/Preferences, or Library/LaunchDaemons folders, and have verified no files exist within the Keychains). MobileMe no longer exists in my System Preferences. There is no sync icon in the top right corner.
Can anyone help me stop this pesky popup?
Many thanks,
-Bailey

Do you have programs you were syncing with MobileMe that might be trying to access the non-existent web site?
iPhoto, Mail, iDisk and so forth.

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Thank you for your suggestion but I have already had a couple of phone sessions with NETGEAR support and they don't see any problems with the router settings etc. They referred me to Apple support, who helped me discover that it is possible to communicate with the router but only if I turn off the encryption/security software, which I don't want to do. The frustrating thing is that I can connect wirelessly from a laptop running Windows 7 and two Anroid smart phones, with WPA-2 in place, without a problem. Do you have any other ideas?

I have had too much problems since i updated an ipad, i have to reset an ipad many times every time i download an app. Help please.

I am having similar problems with iPad 3 freezing. It was fine before upgrade to IOS 8. Ready to throw it out!! No one has any answers other than the norm. Quite often have to hold power and home key down, which doesn't solve the problem. It just unfreezes the situation you are in. Wish this would be solved with the IOS 8!! Should have never upgraded, but never had a problem with Apple software before. Getting to feel like I am back with Windows.

I have followed the steps to remove a saved password, but it hasn't actually removed it from firefox as there is a general password and an admin password. I accidently saved the general password so unable to open as an admin. Thank you for your help.

I have followed the steps under security within Firefox to remove a saved password, but it hasn't actually removed it. I removed it and then tried to sign on again and it automatically went to the saved password. This URL uses an admin and a general password and I accidentally saved the general password so unable to open as an admin. When I go to the URL to enter my admin password it goes to the saved general password. As administrator for my church website, I can't get into it and make changes without using my admin password.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Disable random Password generation button on Reset Password popup window.

Hi ALL,
We have a new requirement when user click on reset password tab on "Modify User" page, a pop up window will open with two options :
1) Manually change the Password
2) Auto-generate the Password (Randomly generated)
I want to remove or disable this 2nd option. Can you please guide me what necessary changes required?
Thanks,
Amit

It's easy enough to generate a random password. Use a
constant string containing your alphabet (different
systems have different rules about what characters
are allowed). Then us Random first to generate a
suitable length, then to pick a character from your
alphabet for each slot. If there are further rules
(e.g. "must contain at least one digit") then check
the password you've just generated and if it fails
the test, simply try again.
But this isn't a particularly good system. It allows
anyone to harrass a user by changing their password
if they can guess their user name.
The approach I favour is to send the user a one-time
click-thru URL in an e-mail which allows them to set
their password to anything they chose. That needs a
special table in some data base. You generate a
random token which acts as a one-shot password on a
special "change password" page. As soon as the click
through has been used then the database entry is
deleted so that the token is invalidated. You should
also invalidate the token if they log on in the
normal way.I agree that the 'forgot your password' feature is nasty. I mean, we are normally enjoined from saying "invalid user id" or "invalid password", we have to say "invalid user id / password combination" or something to that effect. But by providing the 'forgot your password' feature, it would be trivial to write a bot to see which sites provide this, determine a good page from a bad (e.g., valid user id) and then have an easier time brute-forcing the password. Sad.
On the other hand, I know personally that many companies are concerned with phishing attacks on their customers. As such, they have a blanket policy prohibiting any URL that hits a secured page in any way.
So, what to do? :^(

I cannot remove my master password - the remove button is gray

I enabled the Firefox master password but FF kept asking for it every 20 seconds while I was using gmail, so I wanted to disable and remove the master password.
When I uncheck the master password box, a popup screen asks for the master password but entering it in the field, the "remove" button is and remains unclickable. So now how do I get rid of the master password?
Thanks a lot in advance!

You can check the value of the security.password_lifetime pref on the <b>about:config</b> page.
You can set the MP to an empty string to disable it.

"Invalid Password" Message from Network

My 1 year old Time Capsule has been working perfectly since I bought it. Now all of a sudden I don't get logged in automatically to my network. In addition, I can't connect to my network manually; when I try it asks for my password (that Airport Utility stored in my Keychain) and when I type it in I get a "Invalid Password" message. I have tried plugging in to the TC with an Ethernet cable & resetting/changing the password to something new, turning off the security, pressing the reset button for 1 second & 5 seconds, resetting the TC to factory settings & setting up again but to no avail. I have removed & re-added my network from my preferred lists, deleted & redone my Keychains, begged, wheedled and threatened it with a list of dire fates but all with no joy. I can see my network there, with the little lock image, but cannot get in. Airport Utility won't even see my TC unless I'm physically plugged in with an ethernet cable.
Additional info: Maybe no coincidence, but three days ago I got a 4G wireless internet modem and plugged it into the TC. Until then I'd had no internet at home and had the TC happily ignoring this. When I got the modem and plugged it in, Airport Utility asked me to change it to 'Bridge Mode' (that I've tried undoing) and then I was wirelessly online. The modem ran perfectly through the TC for the 1st couple of days and I could still print wirelessly through my attached printer. All was well in the kingdom, when all of a sudden everything went pear-shaped yesterday and no matter what I try I cannot make things whole again.
Can anyone help please????
Alec

Okay, the problem's changed. I turned on my old 12" MBP and found that it was still happily chatting away with the network, printing etc. I compared the two System Profilers & found that the IPv4 had gone to PPP (Not sure what that means or how I changed it) so went back & changed it to DHCP. All of a sudden I was back to being on my network & I was able to back-up with Time Machine. Then I replugged in the 4G modem, the light went amber and when I went to Airport Utility it told me that it was reporting a problem. It said something about double NAT (???) and suggested I went into 'bridge mode', which I duly did. After the TC rebooted itself I was back on the network, so far so good...
Now, however, I can't back-up with TM. It gives me a 'backup disk not available' message. When I try to look at things in Airport Utility, it can see my TC but just hangs on 'Reading the Time Capsule configuration' before giving me a (-6753) 'Make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again' message.
Is it something to do with the 'Bridge Mode' thingy? Does it mean that I can either have my wireless backup, or my internet but not both?
PS Oh, and I can't print over the network either, and when I try to print over on my old MBP it says 'Device in use, waiting...'
PPS Aaargh, and my old MBP can talk to the TC via Airport Utility. Does this mean it's a problem with my new MBP, or is it a Snow Leopard thing?

"Login keychain" password - invalid password. All messed up thanks.

I think Leopard, or the most recent QT upgrade has really messed with my system:
I restart and using my login password I've used for years:
"ichat agent wants to use "login keychain"" - invalid password
"Mail wants to use "login keychain"" - invalid password
"PubSubAgent wants to use "login keychain"" - invalid password- and I can't cancel out of that one.
System preferences wants to use "login keychain"" - invalid password. Then after a minute "keychain error. There was a problem saving to your keychain. Please try again or use keychain access to verify your keychain. Error -128
Go to keychain access- Unlock my user keychain then spinning beach balls. Force quit etc
(Can't login to iDisk iTunes or anything now...)
Really unhappy now.

I also have similar issues. And followed the advise below.
1. Insert the Leopard install disk, restart holding the "C" key down
2. Choose your language so you go to the first page view of install
3. You can reset passwords in the menu above
4. Select root and reset your password to what you like
5. Quit and restart
6. Choose "Other" as a login
7. Choose system preferences
8. Select users that you have registered on the computer
9. Select option that users can be administrators
10. Restart and login as the user of your choice.
I did this and was able to login using the "other" account and changed the sys admin password. Gave my user admin priviledges.
But now, I have a circular problem. I can't remove "invalid certificates" from my keychain access app.
Help!!

Error: Invalid Password when trying to sign in on any wireless devise

I even reinstalled my WRT110 to be sure of the Network Name and Password but I still get this error. I have never been able to log in to the wireless network. I can see it - Ienter my password and still "Invalid Password"

I HAVE changed the network name, I HAVE changed the password.

I am extremely frustrated by all this. I need simple instructions. I followed them when I set the friggin thing up, I reinstalled. I know what my friggin password is - why why why?

OK - I am trying to be rude either, just very frustrated.
I hope the OP is not put off and for her benefit I will post this.
If you are looking for galleries and have an otherwise functioning ATV2 read no further.
If you are trying to get your unit to work because:
1) You have selected to send feedback to Apple and then wanted to key in your mobile me address and failed, or
2) Tried to set the iTunes store by using your me address, because they are the same, or
3) You are trying to set up home sharing using your mobile me address
then as part of the set up process you will, having keyed in your .me address and password, have got the message that your mobile me account can not be found.
If you look under the general section, you have the option to set time zone. If this shows Cupertino and you have selected either "automatic time setting" or keyed in another town not on Pacific ST and you are not in Cupertino then date and time have not set.
You can unplug the unit and leave for a few minutes, you can select to reset and restore. You can check that your router allows access to the necessary ports (typically 53, 80, 123, 443, 3689 and UDP 5353).
If your Apple TV on reset and opening the ports, still hangs at "setting date and time," then you are one of a group of people being blocked access for some reason that is not being shared openly - other than my comment above about server issues at Apple's end. This is not malicious but just repeating information posted on this and other fora. I can not confirm or deny, but when every other option has been discounted then only certain solutions remain.
I wish you luck in getting your ATV to work as it should.
PS I don't think cables are an issue here as you obviously are seeing something on the screen to see that you can't log in.
