Password rejected for KcSync

For some weird reason I get a password request for the computer for something called KcSync. Whichever password I've used over the years as my Mac password is never recognised and the dialogue box closes. I can't find KcSync anywhere on the Mac so can't figure out what this is all about.

Are you using dot Mac (MobileMe)?
This sounds like a "KeyChain sync" application error. I found this in an old macosx.com forum (probably related to Tiger, but the command itself still looks valid in Leopard):
After backing up important data, please proceed with the Master Keychain reset procedure. To reset the Master Keychain password, follow these instructions:
1. Open the Terminal application. Terminal is located at /Applications/Utilites/Terminal.
2. Type the following command:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SecurityFoundation.framework/Versions/A/Resources/kcS ync.app/Contents/MacOS/kcSync -reset
3. Review the text entered in the Terminal prompt to make sure it exactly matches what is listed above.
Note: You may find it easier to copy the complete command provided in Step 2 and then paste it into the Terminal application at the prompt as opposed to typing it.
4. Press the Enter key on your keyboard to execute the command
After the command has executed completely, you should receive feedback in the Terminal similar to this: "removing /Library/Keychains/.syncinfo/login.keychain.syncinfo.plist was successful."
5. Quit the Terminal application.
You may need to re-enable Keychain Synchronization an any synchronizing computer after taking these steps. Additionally it is possible that Keychain will prompt you to update your settings in a variety of applications. If prompted to update you settings, click the update button.
After following these steps and then ensuring .Mac Sync has been enabled in your .Mac System Preferences, you should be able to Sync normally.
Cheers,
Rodney

Password rejection for no apparent reason

For the second time in 30 days, my apple ID password is "incorrect". I know its the right one, I've been using it for 30 days. I can reset for a new password, but why the heck is it rejecting an established password......for a second time?
The first time I think it was because the password parameters changed. Cool. I created a valid password. But this new rejection has be baffled.

Have you tried Reseting the iPad when the problem shows up? [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

User Passwords Rejected on AFP share mounts?

User Passwords Rejected on AFP share mounts?
(OK, my last post got buried, and perhaps too long), try again. Very brief
Issue:
After so many days, a User's AFP share password is rejected? What gives.
If you reset it, several days later, same thing, rejected.
Is Netinfo Database corrupted, what can / should be done?
- Stand Alone server (with AFP and FTP services running, all other services off, not running.
Summary Info for user having issue:
Location: 192.168.0.50/NetInfo/DefualtLocalNode
Home: No Home Directory
Primary Group: Users (20)
Password: Shadow Password
I have deleted that troublesome user name and created a new name (for that user), just in case, in the re-creation of the same user name (after deletion) some corruption gets inherited.

Power Mac G5 Dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Using Tiger Server, I have found that enabling ACLs, or Access Control Lists on the volume, and then specifying users and/or groups into the specific ACLs for the share point has been very helpful. Also note that 10.4.10 server seems to work better than 10.4.11, so if you haven't upgraded, don't go beyond 10.4.10. .11 seems to have some permissions issues and other problems.
I assume you are connecting to the server via AFS (i.e. Go > Connect to Server > ip address) and not SMB? SMB sometimes is more problematic about ownership. But either way, Mac or PC clients, it seems ACLs are the way to go.
Crazy as it seems, on my server, even if the owner is, say, admin, and the group with r/w permissions is, say, Prepress, it helps to specifically add the Prepress group to the ACL for that share. Then be sure to propagate the permissions down (unless you don't want to, for some reason). To do this, click the little gear icon and propagate all the permissions -- owner, group, acl, etc. down. This will take a bit of time depending on how much stuff you have. I also find that a server reboot can be helpful.
[[ All this said, 10.5.1 seems to do some crazy things, and I hope 10.5.2 addresses them. I have one machine (not user ID) that always creates a folder on a share with no permissions for anyone. Only from that Mac; the same login on another works just fine. Go figure]]

Mac OS 10.2.8. Connection Password rejected

Hi Chaps,
Can you help me? I've got a BT home hub 2.0, which connects fine to PC laptops, and my iPhone (all wirelessly), and to a desktop fine via an ethernet cable, but not wirelessly to my Apple Mac. The Mac is quite old - but a lovely shade of blue. It's a G3 Powermac running OS10.2.8 - which is compatible according to the information BT give on their website - with an Airport Extreme wireless PCI card installed.
Here's what happens: I can see the network I want, along with BT Fon and BT OPenzone in the task bar - so it's receiving all right. Buuuut when I try to enter the Key (the same one I'm using for the laptops and iPhone - so I know it's correct) the message reads "The password you entered is not Correct for the selected Airport Network".
So far I've tried:
Inserting a $ before the password as recommended on other websites
Every combination of password including changing numeric parts to HEX
Changing TCP/IP settings to Ethernet, from Airport
Any and every combination of everything possible!
Another forum suggests trying to change security to WEP. I've had no success - I cant see an option on my Mac to do that.
Clues? Suggestions? Cuddly toy to the winner.
Thanks.

Moriarty, if you have further problems you might want to go to a fixed channel instead of the auto option - auto works fine in this house for Wife's PC laptop, PSP, iPhone but not iMac - password rejected, timed out is all I ever get until I fix the channel after a hard reset etc...
Hope this helps.

How do I save password info for a site when Firefox does not offer to?

Certain sites that require a password I do not remember ever being offered the opportunity to save a password for that site, so it doesn't show up in rejected, and I can find no option to get Firefox to offer to save password info for me...aside from this I have been very pleased with Firefox since i made the switch in Sept...Thank you, a technically challenged grandmother...

If a website doesn't offer to store the password then chances are that it doesn't fill that password either if you use the "Saved Passwords Editor" extension. You can only use that extension in such a case as a reminder in case you forget the password.

Password required for Mail?

I open up my Mail icon, and a window pops up that says, Cannot Send Mail, no password provided for user (my email address) of server (my server address).
Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password.
Question-How do I go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password? I cannot find this area?
Please help, and thank you in advance for your consideration.
iPhone Windows XP

maniac,
are you talking about the settings on the iphone or settings in itunes or mail? When you say "go back up into user name box and make a change", what kind of change are you talking about?
My issue is similar: I cannot send mail from my POP account (.mac works fine), and the error "address was rejected by the server" showed up each time, and the password field in SMTP on iPhone keeps reverting back to "Optional" no matter how many times I enter it, save it, whatever.
I spent an hour with Apple last week. The tech had me do a software restore, and advised me NOT to sync my mail. This worked.
While this is a good workaround (I got it to work), this is in the longer term unacceptable as it's a pain in the butt to delete mail (no group select of mail???) from the iPhone.
But I'd like to know more about this workaround you mention.

Please can anyone help with the continuing password rejection problem with email.Ipad and other systems work fine but despite reloading my password on imac it bounces back.Apple store has been visited and I have tried everything they suggest.

I use free Yahoo mail webMail access because folders I created in webmail access doesn't get set up in Apple Mail. While I was searching for post about password and keychain issues, I stumbled on several threads that complain about Mail folder issues, so I'm holding off on Apple Mail.
On the password and keychain issue that your post is all about. I've been using login keychain to save and automatical fill my login screens for a year or so successfully, with Safari and Chrome. Automatic form fill also works for Facebook login. Unfortunately, about 4 to 6 months ago, automatic password form fill stopped working with Yahoo webmail, while still worked for GMail (Safari and Chrome). I tried deleting the password entry for my two Yahoo email accounts to start fresh, but neither Safari not Chrome will even ask me if I want to save the password. I was so frustrated that I eventually installed the keypassX 0.43 (password manager) that is quite primitive sompare to OS X's keychain (when it works). Probably no surprise to you yet.
The surprise, to me at least, is that, for whatever reason, password auto form-fill from keychain started working again for Yahoo webmail login on Safari about 5-7 days ago. Still doesn't work on Chrome!
Two tips I can share, at least with webmail access:
1. Password is save only for one of my yahoo mail accounts. When I login in with my other yahoo account, I get no prompt to save the password, and form fill doesn't work when I try to log in a second time with my other Yahoo mail account.
2. On inspection of my login keychain, I see a webform password item saved for my Yahoo account that works with keychain. The name of the password is: login.yahoo.com(MyAccountName1#). When I open the password item and look in the Access Control tab, I see Safari and Chome are listed as allowed to access this password item..
I also an "Internet password" item with a name of just login.yahoo.com. When I open the the password item, it looks just like the password item created for MyAccountName#1, but the MyAccountName#2 is listed in the Account field. Inside the Access Control tab, no apps are listed in access permission. I added Safari and Chrome to the lists of allowed app, saved the password item.
Now when I bring up the Yahoo login page(by bookmark) on Safari, form fill fills in MyAccountname#1 for name and the proper password and I can login in. When I change the name to MyAccountName#2, the correct password is retrieved and I can log in! Alas, it still doesn't work on Chrome.
BTW, I changed the password item type from "Internet password" to "Web Form password" and saw no difference! I also edited the name to be "login.yahoo.com (MyAccountName#2)" to look like the web form password item that works, but it has no effect either.
From my experimentation, here's my observation:
1. A Web Form password item is created for the first account name(MyAccountName#1) for login.yahoo.com and typed as Web Form password. When I log in using MyAccountName#2, an Internet Password is created, but no applications are listed as allowed to access the password item, even when the password item was created after just logged in and logged out to yahoo with the account name and password for MyAccountName#2.
2. Manually adding Safari as an app that is allowed to use the password item works. Doesn't work with Chrome!
The version of Safari I'm using is Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). My installed version of Chrome is Version 21.0.1180.79 beta.

Constant password rejection in Lion, using iCloud

OK, so I've recently made the move to Lion and,around the same time, to icloud. Generally, everything is fine, but I'm experiencing this very annoying issue with Mail. Periodically, but frequently, I get a password rejection alert like this:
The iCloud IMAP server “p01-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “( my name )”
Enter your password again or cancel.
I do so, and it accepts the password. However it keeps coming back.
I haven't changed anything in my settings, but this alert suddenly started appearing, a few days ago. Even when I've ticked the box to save the password in my keychain, it still returns! I'm puzzled and irritated by this.
Has anyone any idea why this might be happening please? Thanks in advance for any insites.

Right,well, for a while it seemed to improve, but I'm afraid it's back again. So annoying. I never had anything like this with mobileme or Mail before. I ca'nt understand what might be causing it. Guess I'll have to keep looking into it. Right now, mail is practically unusable.
And now all my junk mail seemd to have evapourated from my imac, yet it's still on my ipad and iphone!
Thanks.

Mail 2.0.7 - Earthlink Passwords Rejected

Hello,
I would appreciate any help anyone can give with this problem. My Mail app worked fine last night with my Earthlink accounts; today, I receive repeated "password rejected" messages. I checked with an Earthlink online rep who had me re-enter my account settings, so those should be correct, but it didn't fix the problem. My Entourage app gives the same "password rejected" message.
The Earthlink rep suggested that I remove and then add back the accounts in Mail, but since there's also suddenly a problem with Entourage, that doesn't seem right to me. In the past, this has happened intermittently but the problem seems to be more persistent this time.
Does anyone have any other suggestions I can try? Thanks in advance for your help!

Password rejection by POP server

I have been able to download my mail from this webmail based popserver on and of for several months, but since three weeks I have not been able to download any into Mail.
When I access the account directly over the web I get in without a problem.
Thanks,
Hans Visser

I have set it up as POP; I have the same problem accessing it from my IMac as well as notebook running Mail.
Today our network consultant at CMB HQ looked at my problem on my notebook; we tried several settings and somehow solved the password rejection problem. However, it still wouldn't download any messages.
According to these guys the problem is Mail itself; it seems to timeout before downloading can take place.
They also tried downloading with Entourage which worked without a problem. Unfortunately it seems I can't import my Mail mailboxes into Entourage so that would still not solve my problem
I asked the network consultant to get in touc h with the dutch network manager and request them to sought out with Aplle Netherlands.
Any comments or recommendation are wellcome, thanks.

Email password rejection

With extraordinary arrogance BT have closed a thread again before a problem has been solved. A considerable number of customers have been suffering for some years with perfectly valid passwords being rejected by BT Yahoo email servers. Some of us have been fobbed off with fatuous replies from all levels of support along the lines of - it is your fault, your email client is at fault, you are accessing your mail through multiple devices and so on.
The following thread (started July 2011) has been closed by a "Moderator" and I quote from his post
"Since this migration work was done we have completed extensive testing and no further issues with POP or IMAP have been found."
http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/E-mail-password-rejection/m-p/234061/highlight/true#M638...
Thread closed - problem solved. But it isnt, the same old thing is happening again this morning. BT is right and the customer is always wrong.

I guess we just have to keep starting a new thread! I emailed the mods after yesterday's closure saying I am still having problems, this is the third time of emailing them, they did answer my first one asking for more info but nothing since then. The pop ups are dreadful and if I don't close outlook I have to keep watching the screen if I am typing as my typing ends up in the password box of the pop up!!! The main irritation is that it affects my smartphone so when I am out on the move I cannot keep up with emails as they don't come through, the irritating password incorrect message comes up!!!. When they do (after logging onto btyahoo) we get all of them again. No probs with iPad. I want to ring BT but seems everyone has tried this so many times without success. It's such a shame, I don't want to leave BT, I have been with them since I ever had the Internet but this does make you start looking at other companies.

Email password rejection trouble

On behalf of my mother!
Clients: iMail, iPhone iMail (set to Push)
Protocol: IMAP
At first it was just the desktop Mail which rejected the password, now however it is both. I have logged into the Yahoo mail web application, which works fine. I also changed the password, however neither client works.
I am now aware that this used to be a fairly major problem (http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/E-mail-password-rejection/td-p/234061/page/68) but that thread was locked months ago and this is a recent problem.
Suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

Hi CraigS,
I was surprised by your reply to BedeH as I have this afternoon been speaking to BT Yahoo tech support about the same or a similar problem who told me that rejecting passwords was still an open known fault that was being worked on.
My problem is running outlook 2010 under Windows 7 with 3 Btinternet email accounts. About twice a day apparently randomly Outlook will pop up on just 1 of the 3 accounts saying the server has rejected my password and to reenter it. No matter what I enter it will not accept it. The BT Help program will eventually tell me the password is incorrect and give up. The work around I have been using for over 6 months is simply to login to my web based BTinternet account and immediately Outlook starts working again simply by clicking the pop box to retry. This is a frustrating pain and hence my follow up call to the Help desk.
I do have an iphone and an ipad both of which can access my mail but neither are set to "push".
I would appreciate knowing whether you (BT?) recognise this as an open problem or whether I was just being fobbed off.
Thanks John

Until April 2012 there were enough threads on password rejection to knit a large sweater but then the moderator closed the forum saying all was well. It isn't. I have been unable to access my bt mail since March except by logging on to webmail after which macmail behaves correctly for about 1 hour. Wasted £30 on a premium BT help service on this matter. Very nice guy but perplexed! This issue is not dead. I had the same issue with my iphone which was resolved in an Apple store. Is there now a fix for this utterly irritating situation? It does BT no credit whatsoever. Any chance of reclaiming my lost hours and £30? I think I know the answer to that one.

E-mail password rejection on Mac

I am adding my experience to the long list, just so that BT knows the problem is widespread and continuing. Yesterday and today, so far, I suddenly lost my BT Yahoo mail on my Mac with the now common password rejected message. I have no time to fix it so will use webmail meantime, but it just hammers another nail in the BT coffin.
