Mozilla thunderbird on new 'puter rejecting my password

I recently purchased a new computer. I was using mozilla thunderbird on my previous computer. I liked it so I wanted to use it on the new one also. I keep getting an error saying the "user name or password is wrong". I can still receive and send email on my phone and through the web based browser, but I don't like using wither of those. Also I have tried changing my password online, but I get an error saying "try again later". Any suggestions before I call Verizon?
Thanks...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Make sure you are on a recent release of Thunderbird. Mine says 17.0.7

New domain rejecting system password.

I recently converted a WL5 instance to a WL6 domain and when I try to
stqart the new domain, it wont accept the system password. What gives?

I've only recently discovered that you need to have a correct
SerializedSystemIni.dat file to correspond with your fileRealm.properties.
(I believe that it is through these file that is done the user/password mapping)
To get it started, copy an existing fileRealm.properties file and its SerializedSystemIni.dat
to your new domain's, and it might work.
Good luck,

What is my password for mozilla thunderbird?

I cannot find my PW for Mozilla Thunderbird. I may have set up my MT account originally with <[email protected]> and not changed it to my current address, which is <[email protected]>. Thus I am not receiving messages from MT when I request a reset.
So there may be 2 issues: the correct (incorrect) email address and the PW.
Help!

re:'' I cannot find my PW for Mozilla Thunderbird. ''
Not clear on what you are talking about - can you eleborate more.
Are you talking about mail account paswords or did you setup a Master Password to help protect access to your stored passwords?
Thunderbird itself does not use a password.
Passwords can only be set/modified via the relevant webmail account using a browser.
Then you update the password in Thunderbird to match the one you updated in webmail account. You may need to remove the old stored password in Thunderbird first and then input new password at prompt.
Thunderbird stores passwords here:
Tools > Options > Security > Passwords
or
Menu Icon > Options > Options > Security > Passwords
click on 'Saved Passwords'
Clickon 'Show passwords'
There should be a mailbox entry for the mail account and an smtp entry for the outgoing server.
Each mail account will have it's own entry.
re:'' I may have set up my MT account originally with <[email protected]> and not changed it to my current address, which is <[email protected]>.''
If you created a mail account for the first email address, then it will use a password to access the server to access emails. This is the same password you would use to access that email address webmaill account. You can choose to enter it each time or allow Thunderbird to remember the password and access automatically.
The second email address would be set up as a separate new exisitng mail account with it's own password, which ideally should not be the same as the first email address mail account password.
So, if you have two email addresses and need to see emails sent to both email address, then you should have two mail accounts in Thunderbird, one for each email address.

My Gmail account won't work well with my Apple Mail, THe mail won't download into my gmail account and I frequently as requested to put my IMAP password in and it is then rejected.

My Gmail and Cox accounts and won't work well with my Apple Mail, The mail won't download into my gmail account and I frequently am requested to put my IMAP password in, and it is then rejected.I go to mail preferences and put the password in the appropiate place and I am told the password is new and do I want to use it. I reply yes but its not saved. Any suggestions

On the left, you should have a list of keychains and categories. If not, Select Show Keychains from the View menu.
Select the login keychain and All Items in the Category.
In the search field, type something that will help find your account keychains, like "gmail."
Select the keychain for your email account password and delete it.

How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

My Mail application is rejecting my password even though I'm putting it in correctly. Mail is working fine on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac so it must be something to do with the Mail settings on my desktop. My software is up to date. Can you help?

I have an iMac, operating system 10.7.4 with up to date software. My mail application is rejecting my password even though I know I am putting it in correctly. I have an ipad and iphone and the mail application is working fine on them. On my desktop however I cannot receive or send mail. I think it must be something to do with the settings but cannot work out what. I have contacted BT who provides my email and internet. As I have another email address with them that is working correctly they believe it is a problem with mail rather than with them. Please can you help?

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

I am trying to download the Facebook app to my new iPad and I keep getting an error . It tells me to sign in using my existing Apple ID, which I enter, then when I put in the password I get ConnectionManager::invoke::Failed to find service connection url

the iPad is totally new to me. I can't seem to do anything with my Apple ID. As the title says, I am trying to download the Facebook app to my new iPad and I keep getting an error. It tells me to sign in using my existing Apple ID, which I enter, then when I put in the password I get ConnectionManager::invoke::Failed to find service connection url. Cancel or Retry. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'd also love to know how to get rid of the old owner's name, which was Mike - I'm Ann

Logging into iTunes Genius - SUCCESS I woulnd't have thought it would make a difference but it does Then just log into the 'other' services with iTunes.
Good luck!
I still need to know how to change the name to Ann, though, Mike keeps popping up - and yes, I have changed it under Settings.....

I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected. I have recently updated my email address and changed my password, but adobe will not accept. Can I get help, please, to update flash player?

I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected. I have changed my email and password and have so informed adobe, but I am still unable to install flash player update. How can I update adobe flash?

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.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting the new computer, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep. I want to use my iCloud password on both computers consistently. How can I fix this?

The only other place to change a password for the computer login is in Users & Groups preferences. But I don't really know enough here to fix your problem. You can try fixing the keychain:
iCloud- Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

TS1702 When I try to update an App I am getting my old email address (which no longer works) and when I put in its password it says password or username is wrong. but it does not give me an option to put in my new user name. How can I correct this.

When I try to update an App I am getting my old email address (which no longer works) and when I put in its password it says password or username is wrong. but it does not give me an option to put in my new user name. How can I correct this.

What you are getting is the AppleID (AppleID can be an email adress) used at the time of the purchase of this app. It is an identifiant allowing Apple to link your purchase to your account.
If you want to manage associated email, you can go at https://appleid.apple.com but the AppleID could never be modified.
I do not know if in your case, it is just that you no longer use your old email address or that you actually a 2 AppleID. In any case, you will have to remember the password related to the account used for your purchase. If you don't, just use the link above to try to retreive your password.

TS1398 I have a new ipad 3, it will not let me put in my password for wi-fi

i have a new ipad 3, i'm unable to put in my password for wi-fi, any suggestions?

What do you mean?
Are you entering the passsword but the Join buttin is still inactive? Is so that means that you need mor charactors in the password.
What encryption are your (the router) using?

Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
In Terminal, type:
resetpassword
...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
Good luck,

I cannot sign into the APP Store to get new apps it keeps aSKING ME FOR MY PASSWORD AND REJECTS THE PASSWORD

RESET PASSWORD CONSTANTLY. SEEMS LIKE ITS OUT OF SYNC WITH ITUNES, HAVE GONE BACK TO THE FACTORY SETTINGS AND HAVE SYNC AGAIN WITH ITUNES SUCCESSFULLY
WHEN EVER i TRY TO DOWNLOIAD AN APP IT WILL REJECT THE PASSWORD. HAVE RESET THE PASSWORD SEVERAL TIMES. STILL CANNOT DOWNLOAD ANY NEW APPS

I'm having the same problem with my iPad Mini. I've decided after many attempts that it's Apple's problem, since I have no problem accessing the store and making purchases through my other devices. It's saving me a lot of money not being able to buy new apps and in-app purchases. And I'm not going to waste any time with Apple Support on it. They want my money, they can figure it out all on their own. Maybe Samsung is better with this sort of hiccup...
