  • IMac keeps asking for user account password when changing Airport

    Whenever I change anything in Airport (switching networks mainly) my iMac constantly prompts me to submit my user account password. All other macs don't do that. Any clues?

    Suggest that if you haven't already taken the next steps....open System Preferences > Network > AirPort and delete the current wireless connection by highlighting the name of the network, then clicking the - (minus) button at the bottom of the connection list. Click OK and then Apply.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access and locate the name of the wireless network, then highlight and delete that entry.
    Restart your Mac to see if that will allow you to start fresh.
    If still no luck, I'm afraid it's getting down to a re-installation of the operating system on the Mac.

  • Keeps asking for my hotmail password and saying its wrong stopped recieving mail

    keeps asking for my hotmail password and have stopped recieving mail

    Mail asks for your password when it cannot contact the Server. It presumes [usually incorrectly] you told it the wrong password, and asks for a better one. The one you enter replaces the one that is stored.
    But often the reason it cannot connect is that the Mail Server holding your emails is temporarily DOWN.
    Ignore those requests and take that account Online again later. 
    (You may have to re-enter the password, because it often clobbers your good password with the one you enter, and sometimes does not store ANY password after that stupid dialog box.)

  • POP3 -Keep asking for user name & Password

     
    Hi,
    We have exchange 2003 server with Service pack 2. We have user who check their mails through   Outlook 2003, Outlook web access & some users are using POP3 to download the messages.
    Since last few weeks, we are getting the complained that when engineers are trying to configured users account in Outlook with POP3 configuration, its keep asking for user name & password. But with same user name & passwords user is able to check their mail through Outlook web access.
    In some of our site, users are able to download messages through pop3 account but this account was configured long back.
    Kindly advise.

    HI,
    This is happening mainly when
    1. user changed his password through Outlook web access next time its keep poping up for password & it will not accept the new passord.
    2. if user is using  OWA & when we try to configured his mail in Outlool with POP3 .
    See if i remove exchange attributes from user's account & then delete the users from AD & Recreated with same  user name, Password & reconnected  to that user to his old mailbox, it;s work fine.
    Regards,
    Chetan
    POP3 is enabled by default for all the users.

  • I cant install the new firefox 6 on my laptop because it keeps asking for the administrator password during the installation and i dont know what is it for this laptop

    i cant install the new firefox 6 on my laptop because it keeps asking for the administrator password during the installation and i dont know what is it for this laptop

    I read a way on another forum to fix this problem. Right click on the setup.exe and select "Run as administrator" this should solve your problem.

  • IMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

    iMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

    Is sounds like it might for some reason booting into Safe Mode, which does prompt for a password.
    Try a PRAM reset:
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    If that doesn't help, restart holding down the option key which should take you to the startup manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrows on the keyboard if the kb is Bluetooth), tap 'enter'. Does it boot normally now?

  • My iPhone 5 keeps asking for my Yahoo password when I try to retrieve my mail.  I enter the correct passwords but themessage still pops up andno mail is getting through

  • My brand new Mac ProBook keeps asking for an admin password to download Adobe Flash Player

    My brand new Mac ProBook (OSX Mavericks 10.9.4) keeps asking for an admin password to download Adobe Flash Player and also when I try to set up adding my printer. The problem is that when I initially set up this new laptop--I opted to not have any password upon login. So what is my admin password that it keeps requesting??--that "I" did not create??

    I have heard that Adobe Flash Player and Apple OS & iOS do NOT care much for each other.
    Now half of Youtube videos would NOT play and many websites would NOT show on my Mac computer.
    This is absolutely rediculous!
    Because of the unfair monopoly, I have switched from Microsoft Windows PC to Apple Mac system a few years ago.
    Is it a MUST and worthy for corporations to compete each other by screwing up customers like this?
    What a shame!
    Big things have small beginnings and so do big failures!
    I think I will delay the idea of buying any more OS or iOS products until I can easily watch all the Youtube videos and browse all the websites!

  • Why does mavericks keep asking for my login password?

    why does mavericks keep asking for my login password?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • TS2634 I can't open email. Keeps asking for my yahoo password. Will not accept any password I put in. When I try to reset, it wants to confirm to an alternate email, which I do not have?

    My email app will not longer display my messages. It asks for my yahoo password and then accepts none of the passwords I ever remember using. When trying to reset the password, it prompts me to use an alternate email address which I do not have?  Any advise?

    Can you sign in at yahoo.com?
    If you can sign in then it's not a password problem.
    Yahoo servers have been having probelms with not accepting the right credentals on mobile devices.
    The only two ways I have seen this type of issue are to simply wait and keep trying or:
    Sign into yahoo.com on a comptuer.
    Sign into yahoo.com on the device
    Delete the account that you have added and attempt to re-add the account - about a 50% chance the account won't re-add to the device.
    If this doesn't work then your back to the first option to wait till it works again.
