Password has been rejected by Yahoo

Argh, this is annoying. I keep getting the dreaded bouncing icon that tells me that my password has been rejected by Yahoo! I've tried keychain repair. I've tried changing my password. I've tried deleting/re-installing my account in Mac Mail.
I think it's a Yahoo! issue, though. And it seems to be worse during the day. Plus, it's random -- I've gone months without any issues, then it happens agian.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any solutions?

Yes, I am having the same problem. I have been trying to solve this for 4 days now. It has happened before yes. But this go round it started happening right after the 10.4.4 update. All the offered solutions apply to the old version of this problem, not this new problem. Everyone keeps telling me my settings are wrong or it is a yahoo problem. They also say that it is because I have mail checking my e-mail too frequently. Those are all good answers for previous OSX/Mail problems but not for this one. I went so far as to completely reinstall my OSX Tiger and did all the updates. My first time into Mail I get the error, not after repeated attemps. But the first time. When I get up in the morning turn on my Mac, and load mail, the default response seems to take my accounts offline and then up comes the "Pop server has rejected your password". I deleted all Keychains, reset to defaults, and resetup my mail keys. Same error instantly. This happens for every e-mail account I have, whether work, yahoo, google, or ISP. They only one that doesn't do this is my .mac e-mail account. It also happens for 6 different e-mail programs that use the keychain. This problem is a new problem with 10.4.4. It looks and acts like the old timing or Keychain problem but it is not. I haven't found the solution, or got any new answers from apple, sorry.
I am in the same boat as you. Another point is My work machine hasn't got the 10.4.4 update and it is still Panther and my Yahoo account is set to check mail every 3 minutes, and I am not having any password rejection problems there.
I know that doesn't give you a solution but maybe it will help others direct us to the solution.

Another problem with Firefox is that if I'm typing up a long paragraph in my Yahoo email that takes about 10-15 minutes or more, then when I hit send, I get a Yahoo sign in page. All that typing is gone!! Now I have to type the whole thing over again, if I can remember it. It's pain in the butt!!
I've learned the hard way that any time I use Firefox, I have to copy & paste it to Notepad, sign back in, and paste it in my email, and hit send before it happens again. I don't have this problem w/I.E. The problem I do have w/I.E. is that it takes forever to work. That's why I went to Firefox but now Firefox has problems.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

How to Suppress Message saying "Message containing a password has been suppressed?"

On one of our task sequences, the summary page turns yellow with 1 error saying a message containing a password has been suppressed.
The deployment is successful and we don't need to do anything about it, so it is a useless warning.
I looked in the BDD.log and I see the reference to the error in there, but it is no more specific as to what is the cause.
Is is the same OS image used in other task sequences without this error, so it must not be an issue with the OS installation itself and I can only assume it is something to do with a unique task inside the task sequence that clears the bios password, updates
the bios and then resets the password.
Is there a way to find specifics on what is generating this vague error message such as "unsupress" whatever is being suppressed so we can see the specifics of it or just suppress this error from being displayed?

So, if you skip the summary then you don't get a deployment summary at all to warn you of failed tasks inside the task sequence?
We occasionally get other errors, like failed to connect to share on first attempt, but is is pretty rare.
This error is constant. bdd.log has this in reference to the error:

HT6154 My Apple account password has been reset on the count that it says it's incorrect. I just made a new one after making a previous new one, and now it says the new one is incorrect after trying to log in to download an app. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED & C

My Apple account password has been reset a couple times due to Apple telling me my passwords are incorrect. I know they aren't because I have already had to change the password three times, and I keep record of my password. Yet, it continuously tells me my password is incorrect. I have just changed it, again, and now I cannot log into the itunes store to download an app because it's telling me my new password is incorrect.
I just bought the new iphone 5s today, so does this have anything to do with it? Please help, this is extremely frustrating.

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It depends on which password you are referring to, but generally speaking you can always restore the Apple TV.

Recieving a 'Your Apple ID password has been reset.' e-mail every few days

Greetings!
I have an inactive Apple ID that has been dormant for over two years. A few months ago I began receiving Your Apple ID password has been reset.
e-mails every few weeks. Changing my password resolved the problem...for a couple of weeks. About two weeks ago I started recieving the 'password reset' e-mail every second or third day. I change my password and a day or two later...same e-mail. I looked for a 'delete account' option in the Apple ID section of the Apple website but could not find one.
My main Apple ID (the one I am currently using) is safe but I don't like the fact that my old account is being accessed regularly. There must be a way to delete the old account permanently. Thanks in advance to anyone who can point in the right direction.
Cheers!
jj

You'll have to contact apple support and see if they can delete the apple ID for you

I am on a MAC Application.
It has been rejected by following reason.
This app does not check for the existence of a purchase receipt, which can prevent In-App Purchases from being correctly processed.
We recommend implementing receipt validation to resolve this issue.
At a minimum, the app will need to check for the existence of an App Store receipt and exit at launch with a status of 173 if it does not exist.
Any help ?
Thanks in Advance.

How to get Reports for specific User that how many password has been reset using FIM SSPR in FIM 2010 R2 SSPR

Hi,
How to get Reports for specific User that how many password has been reset using FIM SSPR in FIM 2010 R2 SSPR
Regards
Anil Kumar

Hello there Anil,
A simple way to quickly get a overview is to look at the request history within the portal environment (note that this will expire in a few day based on your environment, after that you would need to FIM Reporting Module - but you could increase this to
maybe 60 days to so, watch the DB size).
To do this you could create some custom search scopes of do some custom queries. The creator of the SSPR activities always has the same GUID so you can use that so search.
In your search scope you can use the following XPath to play with.
- All Password Reset Requests - /Request[Creator='b0b36673-d43b-4cfa-a7a2-aff14fd90522' and Operation='Put']
- All Completed Password Reset Requests - /Request[Creator='b0b36673-d43b-4cfa-a7a2-aff14fd90522' and RequestStatus=‘Completed']
You can play with the "RequestStatus".
Hope this helps.

I keep getting emails saying my password has been reset but i am not doing it?

every week i am getting a reset your password link and then another saying my password has been reset.
i am running out of passwords to choose.
is it likely to be an error

Who else knows your Apple ID and password?
I would also change the password for the Mail account you use with the Apple ID since someone could have hacked into that mail account.
Furthers I would go to iTunes>Store>View Account and go to Purchase History see if there are any purchases that you did not make. If problem also contact iTunes
Contact iTunes

After password has been reset how do I reset keychain?

After password has been reset how do I reset keychain?

That article is a great help if you remember your OLD login password.
If not, the bad news is in this article:
OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password
read it carefully, It explains how to change your keychain by using the OLD password.
If you don't remember your original (former) account password
If you don't remember your original password, you'll need to delete the keychain. Deleting a keychain also deletes all the password data saved in that keychain.
If this applies, it means is that your old saved passwords are lost.
You will have to start collecting them anew and adding them to the new keychain. Use Web mail and log in to your email with a Browser. Get them to send you your old password or reset it, then record the new one in Mail Preferences, and it will be saved in the current login keychain.
You will have to do a similar exercise with your other saved passwords.

Hello joe2616,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your Wi-Fi network is dropping, please follow the directions outlined below.
Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.
If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
