Needs password for account on a computer that I have renamed.

I get a popup for a password: Enter the password for your user account on "Intel-Mini (2)".
This is a computer that was renamed to.. (2). I've renamed the computer back to Intel-Mini, but I still get this request for a password.
can anyone help me resolve this?
Thanks,
Bill

What are you syncing? Requesting a password when transferring files may be normal depending upon what you are doing. It's a security precaution.
In any event your username and password for your login account is set in the Accounts preferences. Any changes must be made there. So unless you are having a problem with it when you log in to your account or you have a keychain problem, password requests may be completely normal depending on the situation.

  • Keep getting a mail pop up "enter password for account "SBC." ATT says I need to update my Mac mail server program. Anyone know how I can do this?

    I keep getting an annoying pop up for mail "Enter password for account "SBC."  I enter my password but it still pops up. But I can still get my mail when I click on "Get mail."  I called ATT and they said they are aware of the problem with Mac users and that I have to update my Mac Mail server program. Anyone know how I can do this? They want to charge me.

    RE: "Mail, Contacts and Calendars preferences can't connect to the Yahoo account "bellsouth.net".
    I recently changed my ATT U-Verse password…and Mail quit working… it wouldn't send or receive, Safari worked fine.  I tried to send an email and a warning message popped up, "Mail, Contacts and Calendars preferences can't connect to the Yahoo account "bellsouth.net". In smaller type the next sentence read, "Enter the password for user [email protected]". The Password box was highlighted in blue so I just typed in my new password and my email message was immediately sent…but… I still couldn't receive messages AND the above "can't connect" warning message kept popping up on the screen at random.
    Here's the Fix that worked for me. (The problem is that the new password was changed/updated on the keychains "smpt.att.yahoo.com" name-but- the name "pop.att.yahoo.com" didn't update to my new password).
    Go to your Utility windows and select Keychain Access. Under Category select Passwords. Now check your password for your current (newest dated) name, "smpt.att.yahoo.com". Now check the password under, "pop.att.yahoo.com". Mine wasn't the same as my newest password found in my
    "smpt.att.yahoo.com" window so I deleted my old password in the "pop.att.yahoo.com" window and typed in my new password, then selected "Save Changes". MY MAIL NOW WORKED…and no more warning messages cropped up. Problem was fixed.

  • Clean Reinstall of Snow Leopard, Permission needing password for anything

    Reinstalled snow leopard cleanly, then installed win7 with bootcamp, and now I'm trying to use Mac OS I appear to be having a major issue with permissions. Moving any of the default applications around, into/out of folders requires a password, etc.
    com.apple.desktopservices is what pops up under the window asking for the admin password.
    * I am in the admin account
    *I have searched around, found this... but the 'answer' for that identical situation does not help me one bit. http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5756335
    *The computer is 100% up to date
    A side issue to this is that when I try to install a new pref pane in system preferences I can only do it for this user only, and trying to install for all users crashes (although I am the only user/account on this computer).
    I have gone into disk utility and repaired permissions and checked the disk, first time i fixed a massive number of issues but now only one pops up about a modified core file. Not sure about that....
    REALLY REALLY need a solution to this, would hate to reinstall the OS again.

    I hear installing bootcamp might have screwed with the permissions... and if that did, what would be a viable solution? sudo chmod -R -N ~ and chmod -R -N ~ have not helped, even after multiple restarts.

  • Please help  I am suddenly getting the following on my calendar  The server did not recognize your user name or password for account "..." Make sure you enter them correctly.  I depend on it for work

    Please help  I am suddenly getting the following from my calendar  The server did not recognize your user name or password for account “...” Make sure you enter them correctly.I have even tried changing the password and no luck.  I depend on it syncing with mobile me and my phone and I need it for work.

    I have been having the same issue but I think I fixed my problem.  In iCal, click iCal, Preferences, Accounts and retype your password.  That seems to have done the trick for me as far as I can tell.

  • Error in iCal: The server did not recognize your user name or password for account "Gmail."

    To keep my iCal up to date on two computers, I export an Archive in one and import it to the other. Yes, I know I should use the Cloud, but humour me.
    Export of iCal from my MacBook Air (OS 10.7.5) no longer works when imported to my desktop (OS 10.6.8). It returns an error saying "The server did not recognize your user name or password for account “Gmail.” Make sure you enter them correctly."
    After dismissing this dialogue box twice (it offers no other options, iCal crashes.
    I've turned off the option on my MacBook that asks to use my Gmail account, but since I can no longer launch iCal on my desktop, it can't import new data. How can I clean out the brain of iCal on the desktop so that it will open -- blank -- and perhaps accept a new version of my iCal data?
    Thanks,

  • Mail:-Enter Password for Account?Enter Password for Account?Enter Pas......

    Why does Mail keep asking me," Enter Password for Account..........The POP server"pop.wanadoo.co.uk" rejected the password for user.........
    I enter password, get and read mail but still this message appears so I press cancel. I have never worked out if a password is needed or not. "Remember in Keychain" has been used but again I do not know if this is needed and even then message appears.
    What have I got wrong?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    What is your time interval setting for automatically checking for new mail?
    If set to every minute, change it to every 5 or 15 minutes.
    Also, try using Keychain First Aid.
    Open Keychain Access, located in Applications/Utilities. Choose Window > Keychain First Aid. Select your primary/login Keychain, enter your password, click Repair and then the Start button. A log will appear reporting any problems repaired.

    I'm sorry, but I know nothing about iCloud email. I stayed away from iCloud email and only use iCloud for limited purposes.
    But take a look at this discussion and read the response from randers4. He is one of the iCloud experts in the Apple Support Communities.

    If that doesn't help, you might be better off posting in here where there are other more knowledgable iCloud users.

  • My IPhone is asking me to type in my password for my old Apple ID that does not exist anymore. I cant set up ICloud without typing in a password to a Apple ID that does not exist, so do I have to remove everything from my IPhone and start over?

    Hello miamat2017
    You should see an option to skip that step and then sign out of it when looking in Settings. Check out the article below for more information.
