My Mac is asking me for keychain password. Don't know what the password is or why I need to enter it.

Keep getting asked to supply keychain password. I don't know the password. If I click on cancel the arrow becomes a color wheel and spins around. Unable to figure out how to correct this so I can use the computer.

OS X version?
Asking for "Local items keychain"?
Mail asking for keychain password?

When I start my MacBook Air, I get a problem report on the Time Capsule 802.11n. When I click Continue, it asks for a password. I don't know what the password is because I didn't set this up. How can I find out what the password is?

There is no password to Thunderbird. The password you need is to the email account. Contact the email provider for password reset.

I keep trying to poke them into action. I did send a email to the regulator who seemed to indicate the license or regulations we good to go . Maybe thier so hard pressed in building sites as you said although it seemed wrapped up a year ago. My friend ATT service is excellent here and the exact location has att tower there so I know this would work its just a matter of prodding Verizon into action . my hope is they will notice and do something about this .

Hi, I just got my new iPod Nano 4th Gen. and the screen is blank... It's not on and its plugged into my Mac OS X Mountain Lion. I don't know what to do. Help!?

If it is plugged into a USB hub (or the spare keyboard port), try connecting it to a direct USB port.
Also, try doing this Reset procedure, while it is connect to power.

HT1349 I don't have a MAC, I have an HP pavilion a706n so I don't know what the serial number is. The HP serial number was accepted and neither was my itunes serial number. Does anyone know where to find the serial number?

I am trying to find the serial number that is required by itunes for troubleshooting. But the trouble is, I don't know what it is.
My computer is a HP (not a MAC). I have the itunes serial number. Before loosing my almost 5000 songs I was using an
older version of itunes. I thought if I upgraded to the new version that I would get my itunes back. When I noticed the songs
were gone was when I was taking saved items from my documents into a new 500G hard drive I bought yesterday. After
loading a bunch of stuff it (not any itunes) I went into itunes and ALL of my songs were gone. What happened? What should
I do? & Where is that serial number they are talking about?

Hi Susan,
Not sure why your post ended up in the Apple Server section but here goes.
By default your music should be located in one of the following locations
which you can see by clicking on My Computer
Windows XP - C:\ - Documents & Settings - Username (your name or your login name) - My Music - iTunes
Windows Vista/7 - C:\ - Users - Username - My Music - iTunes
it's unlikely your music has been wiped and more likely that iTunes can't find the library file that tells it what music is in your collection and where it's located. This can happen if you renamed or moved one of the folders above to something/somewhere else. Another idea is to do a search and look for files in a format used by iTunes such as .mp3 or .aac which might show you where they are.
Hope that helps
Beatle

HT1349 when i turn on my mac pro it is very slow I don't know what happen what should i do?

Dear Sir
I have a problem with my note book (Mac pro). when I turn on my note book it is very slow. I have to waite for long time I don't know what happen. how should I do?
yours.

If you have a non-retina MBP then the noise is part of tye OSX startup routine. It is checking the optical drive, and is nothing to be alarmed about.
Ciao.

I can't understand apple teminology - what is the difference between a keychain and a password - why does my mac keep asking me to type in the keychain - I don't know what it is or when it was created!!!

I can;t understand the apple terminology - what is a keychain and how is it different to password? When I set a new password it keeps asking me for the login keychain. None of my passwords work for it and I don't know when it would have been created.

A "keychain" is a secure database in which passwords are stored in an encrypted format to prevent unauthorized discovery of your passwords. Think of it like a bank safe deposit box in which you can safely store your passwords.
If you have a problem with your keychain then perhaps you have not changed the passwords correctly or need to repair your keychain. You might try:
Assuming that you are using a recent build of OS X, go to /Applications/Utilities and launch the app called Keychain Access. Go to the Window pulldown menu and select "Keychain First Aid". Enter your password, set the radio button to "Repair", and click "Start".

How do i know what the password when i am at home & it is trying to connect to my wifi at home

I am trying to set up my ipad2. I am at home and it keeps asking me for my password and I don't have one

It's the encryption code on your routher, which is usually a 13 digit combination of numbers and letters......

I am not able to access the email, I do not know what the password is and cannot seem to get it reset.

the image keeps telling me
Login Failed
Login to server mail.portnel.com failed.
with options of Retry / Enter New Password / Cancel
I really need this fixed as I am looking for work and this is my main email

Forgotten passwords are reset with your email provider. Thunderbird is email client software that runs on your computer and has nothing to do with administering your email password.
Go to your providers web mail or email help page and see if your password works there. If not, look for a link to reset it.
If it works there then you may have an incorrect server setting or an overactive antivirus software causing issues.

How do you know what the password on the ipad is using itunes

My Ipad is locked but someone told me I can use itunes to figure out the password.

There are two different locking mechanisms: passcode, prevents access to your data, and activation lock, prevents use of device if stolen. You do not want the students setting the activation lock.
If the passcode is set & forgotten , you can reload from backup or wipe ( first typed whip ) the device.
iPhone or iPad locked from incorrect passcode.
If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says Ipad is disabled.
See how to restore from backup. No back up on your computer, click on the triangle before "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer"
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1212
The problem arises when someone sets the activation lock which is set by logging onto your apple id then setting the appropriate option. DEP is the preferred preventative. It established your organization as the owner. The student cannot set an activation log.
Undoing the Activation lock
iCloud: Activation Lock
To remove this lock without your apple id and password, you need to contact apple with proof of ownership.

I don't know what the passcode for the "find my iphone" app is ...

My sister and i shared apple ID's and she recently got her phone stolen. Her friend got on her iphone and downloaded the app and tried to use to find her phone.
At that same moment MY phone got locked, as if it was the one which got stolen. Apple support told me i should create a new apple ID and i did. The problem is i can't get into my phone. Its asking me for a passcode and 1) i never had a passcode to begin with and 2) my sister and her friend say they never set up a passcode for the application. Anyone know what i should do?

I had this incident too but mine was just given from my step father. I have in unlocked since it's already out of contract with ATT.
Restore is the final step in unlocking the phone. This should work for you too.
