"Password Missing" Enter the password for the account "iCloud"

After upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.0 and setting up as a 'new phone'...I've had this recurring problem with my iCloud mail.  Despite entering my iCloud password successfully in settings as well as my Apple ID (same email/password), I continue to get prompted three times with this "password missing" message everytime I use the Mail app.  It prompts me every time I'm IN the app, not necessarily launching it from closed.  I have done the following:
verified that the password was entered correctly
checked my iCloud mail at iCloud.com with the same password
verified my apple ID and password at appleID.apple.com
continued to receive mail without incident on my macbook
Synced the phone with iTunes (leaving mail, contacts, and calendars set to iCloud sync)
Not sure what to do next.  I could try wiping the phone again, but suspect I'll have the same problem.  Found a similar posting on this topic last week that said going to the Manage Apple ID site was the solution.  Can't find anyone with a similar problem in Communities. 

Hello Everyone,
I tried the solution offered at this link and it worked for me. It involves going to "Settings/Mail, Contacts,Calendars/iCloud/Account". At this screen, I deleted and re-enered my password for my account which was an @yahoo.com account (The only one I EVER wanted to use). Then I also deleted anything I could that was an @me account. I launched my mail and no more problems. Enjoy!

    This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password.  Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
    If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal.  When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
    resetpassword
    and press Enter.  When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account.  Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save.  Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
    Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
    And you have a new password for your account.

    I'd think you have a Keychain problem (Keychain storing passwords and the likes).
    When you are being asked, are you offered the checkbox, "Remember this password in my Keychain"? If so, check and see if it stops asking.

  • Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:  FaceTime Password Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name" Never used FaceTime.

    Dear Community,
    Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:
    FaceTime Password
    Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name"
    It happened to me today for the first time since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.3, no "stop lights" in the title bar of the popup, in fact nothing at all.
     I've never established a FaceTime account. So I tried to delete FaceTime from the Applications folder on the "system" disk thinking this may eliminate the popup. Mavericks informed me "Cannot delete FaceTime as it is used by the operating system. 
    Is this a MAC virus? Or is this an example user community alpha/beta testing that Apple just announced?
    TIA,
    GonzoBernelli

    That being the case, why then did the FaceTime popup even appear in the first place?
    It's not clear to me what it is. If it occurs again, please take a screenshot of the popup and post it in a reply.
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    The screenshot attachment option for this support site appears only on computers - not on iPads.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

  • Popup message: "Google password required, enter your password for .."  Internet account window in system preferences won't open.  How do I fix?

    Google accounts are suddenly offline.  Popup: "Google Password Required, Enter your password for ... in Internet Accounts."  continues to System Preferences/Internet Accounts.  Account window won't open.  I just get the grey circling system-working-on-it icon.  Suggestions.

    Launch the Console 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 and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to open the preference pane. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

  • Hi, please help me , i get notification about a new update for my iPad when I do the instal for the new version it is asking me for a passcode but which passcode may I have to enter? Because when I enter my gmail passcode it is call me that my pass fail

    The passcode you need to enter is the passcode you set on your device. It is the passcode that you enter when you turn on your iPad or awaken it from sleep after and Auto lock.
    If you do not know or remember your password and did not store it somewhere then you will have to restore your device.

    It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
    You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes)

  • Can somebody give me the formula for the balance column in a check register please? I am trying to setup like sample in iWork but am missing something.

    Can somebody give me the formula for the balance column in a check register please? I am setting the register up like the sample in iWork 09 but I seem to be missing something in the formula.

    OM,
    The way the checking account balance column works is to designate one cell for the starting balance, indicate income with positive figures and outgo with negative figures, summing the transactions and adding the sum to the starting figure.
    The formula used, =$F$1+SUM(OFFSET(F3,3-ROW(),-1,ROW()-2)), is not too difficult to understand if you study the syntax for Offset. The author of this template didn't do us any favors because the expression could have been written more clearly, in my opinion. I'll explain how it's done in the template, and then how I would have written it. With the two approaches you may be able to see what it's all about.
    $F$1 is the starting balance.
    SUM requires a Range specification.
    Offset provides the range specification. The syntax for Offset is as follows:
    Base Cell. In this case it is F3, the cell the expression is written in.
    Row Offset. In this case the author takes the current row number and subtracts the starting row from it. For the first balance the offset will be zero since the first balance is in row 3. For all the subsequent balances, the offset will be negative, meaning that the offset will point to a row above the current row.
    Column Offset. In this case the column offset is 0. That means that it is pointing 1 column to the left, Column E.
    Rows. This parameter sets the length of the range, in rows. Subtracting 2 from the current row number means that the range will be 1 for the first balance and will grow by 1 for each entry down the list.
    Taking all this into account, the range for the Sum function will always be Column E from Row 2 to the current Row.
    How I would have written the balance expression:
    =F$1+SUM(OFFSET(E$3,0,0,ROW()-2))
    I believe it's easier to follow.
    The starting balance is still in F1, but only the row needs to be absolute - a fine point, I know.
    In my expression the base cell for the Offset function is the first entry cell of the transactions, E3. The row needs to be absolute, there is no reason for the base cell to move about as it does in the author's version.
    In my approach, both the row and column offsets are zero. We always start at E3.
    In my approach, the number of rows in the range is the current row number minus 2, just as in the author's expression. That means we include all rows from Row 3 to the current row.
    I'd be happy to answer any other questions about the specifics, but you need to be specific about what you don't get.
