NIS passwords and blowfish
I've posted this in a different forum as it exists in 10.3 and 10.4, but that area has less traffic and I hope a larger audience will have the answer.
NIS in 10.4.6 will check DES passwords ok, but will not do blowfish passwords. Is there a way to get Tiger to correctly authenticate blowfish passwords?
I've gotten OpenBSD, Linux, and Solaris to do so, so I hope Mac OS X has the ability too.
Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode

Password and Blowfish? (Much closer but still need help)
I'm still trying to decrypt a file encoded with a password-based (PBKDF2) Blowfish cipher. I'm bit further now but starting to run out of ideas. Here is what I have so far:
// 1. Given a password, build a password-based key and from that build a Blowfish key
PBEKeySpec kspec = new PBEKeySpec( pwd.toCharArray(), salt, iterationCount, keySize );
SecretKeyFactory kfact = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance( "PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1" );
SecretKey sKey = kfact.generateSecret( kspec );
byte[] keyBytes = sKey.getEncoded(); // Is this right?
Key bfKey = new SecretKeySpec( keyBytes, "Blowfish" );
// 2. Given Blowfish key and initialization vector, decrypt the cipherText into plainText
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("Blowfish/CFB/NoPadding");
IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec( initVector );
cipher.init( Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, bfKey, iv );
byte[] plainText = cipher.doFinal( cipherText );In a full test bed, this compiles and runs just fine, except that it doesn't appear to decrypt the data as expected.
More specifically, when I use Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE to encrypt something like "This-is-a-test" and then decrypt the result with the code above only the first 8 bytes of the result return to plain text, the rest are garbage ("This-is-XXXX...").
The simple test case, at least, should work perfectly but I'm still missing something crucial. The fact that the first 8 bytes decode fine but not the rest feels like a hint to me, but I'm just not getting what the issue might be as I used the same password, initialization vector, key-, and cipher-types in both directions (encode/decode).
Help?Umm, mea culpa on the encrypt/decrypt test; that part works now (yay!) My core issue remains, however, and that involves getting the OOo document component (content.xml) to decrypt:
The document meta-data definitely indicates "Blowfish CFB" which I take to mean "Blowfish/CFB/NoPadding".
What would help me greatly is if someone (perhaps even you, Sabre) could take a look at the following code fragment and tell me if I'm (a) doing something fundamentally wrong here (specifically with the key conversion from PBKDF2 to Blowfish), or (b) if there is an alternative way of doing what I think(hope) I'm doing, which may have different/better results. My trouble is that the decrypt step on the document produces merely binary data (not compressed data which was to come out of the decryption):
// 1. Create a password-based ("PBKDF2") key, then build a "Blowfish" key from that
SecretKeyFactory keyFactory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance( "PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1" );
PBEKeySpec pbKeySpec = new PBEKeySpec( password.toCharArray(), salt, 1024, 128 );
SecretKey pbKey = keyFactory.generateSecret( pbKeySpec );
byte[] encoded = pbKey.getEncoded();
Key bfKey = new SecretKeySpec( encoded, "Blowfish" );
// 2. Initialize a specific cipher with the key, and initialization vector
Cipher bfCipher = Cipher.getInstance( "Blowfish/CFB/NoPadding" );
IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec( initVector );
bfCipher.init( Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, bfKey, iv );
// 3. Decrypt it
byte[] plainText = bfCipher.doFinal( cipherText );If full code would help, I'll gladly post it, but the above is the distilled core of the thing and probably easier to grok. Thanks! -
I am locked out of IMAP for want of a password and I don't know what password is required.
I had an unauthorized attempt to login to my Gmail account which was blocked. Gmail wanted me to change my Google password, which I did. Gmail now works fine, but Thunderbird now asks for:
"Enter your password for -- [email protected]@imap.gmail.com:" to which I have
1. Put in the new password several times and gets rejected each time, and
2. I deleted the old password, as well as the new password, that Thunderbird recorded, several times (The only way to change a password saved by the password manager is to delete it, get prompted for the new password the next time it needs it, and then tell it again to save that password. You can delete the password using Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Passwords -> View Saved Passwords by selecting the password and then pressing the Remove button). I have been prompted for the new
password.
I keep getting the generated tiny reply at the bottom right of my screen" Thunderbird Alert from account [email protected]: Application specific password required: http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer=185833 (Failure).
This question is similar to the gentleman having problems in the Uk/Carribean, but Gmail did not generate me a new password, I did.
Any new suggestions welcome!''""Enter your password for -- [email protected]@imap.gmail.com:"" ''
on imap & smtp servers:: Change user name from [email protected] to pvedxxxxx
Try another client. Perhaps [http://www.seamonkey-project.org SeaMonkey] (requires manual configuration of accounts).
Since this is IMAP your messages are stored on the server, so the following should not cause you to loose any e-mails. Try the following as a last resort.
Delete the account from Thunderbird and then add it; starting over from scratch. -
I have 2 email addresses (1 mac.and 1 blueyonder.) each with separate identities and passwords. I am forever getting asked to verify identity and/or passwords and having these refused and me then having to set up new ones. Can I combine my email addresses to a single Apple Identity and Password? If yes then How?
Any help much appreciated as this is driving me crazy!Depending on what you're asking...
There is no means to merge Apple IDs. You can change the mail address assocaited with your Apple ID, so you might switch to using and purchasing from one email address, and using the second as a backup. (There's no means to merge the purchases, and related baggage.)
While I'm guessing this was about Apple IDs, for completeness... Combining the mail messages involving multiple email addresses is separate from the Apple ID; that is usually done with some combination of notifying the senders or with the forwarding of messages from one mail server to the preferred server. Or running multiple mail accounts in parallel, depending on what you are up to. -
Dear Support Team,
Every time i tried to logon Icloud its gives me wrong user name or password and at the end it show me error " This Apple ID is valid but is not an ICloud Account" then how can i use one account for same Apple ID and ICloud?
ThanksIt is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?
Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
Reboot and try again.
If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

My 3GS will not accept my correct password and user name to start using the Cloud. It just spins while "verifying." How can I make it stop so I can activate iCloud ?
try using @me.com instead of your service address, i mean hotmail or yahoo or else, thanks.

I upgraded to IOS 8 and now when I turn on the phone, it is asking for a password and I have used every password I have used previously but the phone is not accepting the last one I upgraded to. I did a reset of my password but now have to wait 20 more minutes before I can try to get into my phone. I have no idea as to what to do. Thanks to anyone who can help.
Could it be your email password, or your exchange pass code ? If that does not work you may need to restore the iPad. Good luck.

How do I change password and email address?
I cannot change my password and email address because I am based in the UK and not in the US. When I try to make a change and save it, it says I have made a mistake on the fields marked red and asks me to complete the parts in red including: the state I live in and because I am not in a state it doesn't allow me to change my details. It also has a problem with my country's telephone code. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

I changed my Apple password and I get the information back at the wrong email address. My email address is right under my Apple ID. How do I get this corrected?

That is good. In that case, your one and only account has not changed, just the login credentials you use for it. All your previous purchases will remain associated with that account, and the new login.
In essence, an AppleID is an email, but it has two parts. One is the login email address and password everyone traditionally thinks of as an AppleID. But that in turn is linked to an account with Apple. As long as you use the manage Apple ID portal to just change the email address and/or password for your exisiting AppleID, then the internal account tracks along with those changes as well.
However, on your iOS devices, you will need to log out and then log back in with the new login credentials:
settings -> iTunes & App Stores - tap your AppleID, and choose log out. Then log back in with the new email address and new password. -
Iphone emails to PC, but exchange password and account cancelled.
Dear All,
Can anyone explain to me how to transfer emails from my iphone to a PC.
The only catch is that the email account exchange password and account has been cancelled.
However as some of you may know your emails still remain on the iphone.
It means you can acces them and seach through your emails.
I want to be able to place these emails on to a PC.
Thanks all for your help.Everytime I open my email the password Incorrect screen appears. It says "Enter the password for the Exchange account "Exchange"". I have a second email address that was being transferred to my Iphone, but when I lost my original phone and replaced it this July, I hav'nt been able to retrieve this old password. The Apple store rep said to contact Microsoft for this info, but that's next to impossible!! I had a very old hotmail account but that's been closed for over two years, and my other email adress has nothing to do with them. So I'm at a loss on how to change this password??
Thanks, wtadams -

I forgot my password and am trying to reset my ipod, but it won't work.It says that my ipod is in recovery mode and that I must restore it. I click ok, and then click on restore and update. Then it says connecting ipod software update server and a screen pops up with ipod software update on the top and iOS 5.1. It lists a bunch of stuff this update contains and on the bottom it says next, which I click and nothing happens, it just goes back to the ipod restore page. Help, what am I doing wrong?

Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store.

Please Help! Somehow I have managed to mess up my password and now I am locked out of my Ipod. Is there a way back in without losing all my photos?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
