Passwords prompted for random eMails upon iCloud back up? Bizarre.

My iPhone was stolen several weeks ago and I considered it long gone. However, yesterday I received a call from someone who saw my name in the "Lost my iPhone" feature with my contact information. The guy claimed he bought it from craigslist and didn't know it was stolen until he got home and that's when he contacted me. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with my problem but I thought I should mention it.
Awesome! I got my iPhone 6 64GB back, which I am grateful for. HOWEVER, I tried backing up my last iCloud (WiFi) backup and immediately after entering my iCloud account and password information I am prompted to enter a password for a random email/iCloud account. I forgot exactly what the prompt asks for, I cannot replicate the issue for you guys (you'll see why). It was something about apps purchased the with these accounts and I have to enter the password to recover the content. Below the prompt there is a "Skip" button and I clicked this. Immediately after that email another icloud account is prompted and again I clicked skip. This happened another dozen times and I gave up. Some of the emails appeared randomly generated while others seemed legit and one name appeared multiple time in different variations. The bizarre part is when I was prompted for a password for the email "[email protected]" and I then considered these were just randomly selected/generated emails. So I instead reverted to an older iTunes backup on my desktop which worked just fine but was missing a lot of my newer content.
The next day (Today) I decided to try again and after several skips I called Apple support when the FBI prompt appeared. The support agent had no idea what was going on, as usual, not competent and just following his flow chart while I try to solve the problem my self. While he was "finding the solution" I kept hitting the skip button and after 40 emails my iPhone finally restored and I hung up on the guy.
Cool, I solved the problem. BUT while my iPhone was restoring, downloading all of the apps, my battery started to drain. It was taking unusually long and when I tried to view my pictures they were all white. It usually takes about 20 minutes to restore everything. My iPhone 6 soon died and I plugged it into the outlet. When it turned back on with 4% I started reviewing all all of my snapchats and missed instagram notifications and it died again. I thought this was strange but considered it was because it was downloading all of my content, even though this never happened before. When it turned back on with a decent charge I started using it, it died again. This happened 4 times. I eventually switched lightning cables but this wasn't the problem. The 5th or 6th time the device died and never turned back on. When I push the sleep/wake button a drained battery appears with 3 blinking red lines AND the blinking lightning cable. I let it charge for an hour and tried powering it on but the same screen appears. I unplugged it and attempted to hard reset it but it just powers off only to power on with the same screen. I decided to let it die and try charging it again but it's been over an THREE HOURS and it still has NOT died. Normally if this was the case it would die in under 5 minutes of my continually powering it on. But instead the same drained battery screen appears. Oh yeah, I updated it to the latest operating system when I restored the iTunes back up.
What is the problem???

Hello Richard,
it sounds like you have a lot of space being taken up in your Sent folder but are unable to successfully delete them from your iOS device. You can also delete the emails from www.icloud.com as well, since deleting a huge number of emails can be difficult on an iPhone.
iCloud: Delete email
Delete messages
Select one or more messages, then do any of the following:
Click the Move to Trash button in the toolbar.
If you don’t see the Move to Trash button in the toolbar, choose Preferences from the Action pop-up menu , click General, then turn off “Show Archive icon in the toolbar.”
Press the Delete or Backspace key.
Drag messages to the Trash in the sidebar.
To select several adjacent messages, click the first one, then Shift-click the last one. To select multiple nonadjacent messages, Command-click them on a Mac or Control-click them on a Windows computer.
Erase messages immediately and permanently
You can have iCloud Mail permanently and immediately erase messages when you delete them, instead of storing them in the Trash for 30 days.
Choose Preferences from the Action pop-up menu in the sidebar.
In the General pane, deselect “Move deleted messages to,” then click Done.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Firefox master password prompt appears randomly

Every time I open Firefox, the Master Password prompt appears randomly within about 30 seconds. Sometimes I'm still sitting on the home screen when I get the prompt.
I have tried to refresh Firefox, reinstall Firefox, I've turned my Master Password requirement on and off, restarted the computer... nothing seems to work.
I would either like the prompt right away, as soon as I open my browser, or when it is actually required, like when I open a login page. Not the current, seemingly random appearance that disrupts me in the middle of web browsing.
This bug is so annoying that it is a deal breaker for me. It's especially annoying when I am starting to type something, then the Master Password prompt appears without warning and takes the cursor focus with it. I have to stop what I'm doing, deal with the Master Password prompt, then get back to what I'm doing.
In the meantime, I've switched over to Chrome, which is serving my needs fine, but I would like to come back to Firefox if I can resolve this issue.

Hi Will,
Are you using Firefox Sync?
In order to keep your sync login details secure, you have to unlock your master password before Firefox can synchronise.

How to stop the the icloud password prompt for an old email

I desperately need help. My iphone 4s can't be used because the icloud password prompt comes up every 2 seconds. I had an old itunes account with an old email a long time ago and cancelled the email address. i.e I can't go back into it to read any emails anymore. PS I've never used an icloud account with this email address.
For some reason my Iphone is prompting me to put in a password to sign into this icloud account with my old email address. I try to cancel it but it just prompts me again 2 seconds later. I now can't use my iphone becuase of this.
I've log into all accounts (itunes/ipad/iphone/icloud) and looked at my Apply ID and passwords etc and all are the same, i.e the correct (newer) email address. I've tried to cancel the icloud account on my iphone but it wants the password for the icloud account with the old email and I never set up an account, so don't have anything to type in.
It's saying my accounts not verified on my iphone and tries to send me an email to the correct email address to verify it but I never receive an email to this account to do that.
Is there a way to cancel the old email account on itunes or some other magical trick to help me.
Thankyou for your help in advance.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access 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.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.

Random email on icloud passwird verification

After updating to iOS 8, I type my Apple ID and password and after I select the iCloud backup to restore my iPod, it asks for a pasword to [email protected]
I've never seen this e-mail before, it's not mine and so I cannot restore my iPod, I need to setup new settings.

To change the email address associated with your Apple ID, do the following:
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID", and sign in.
If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you are unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
In the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address section," click Edit.
Enter the email address you want to use, then click Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now in the email.
When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your renamed Apple ID.
If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID.
If you are unable to change it by managing your Apple ID, contact iTunes store support and ask for assistance: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

How to avoid multiple password prompt for intarnet portal

we have developed a intranet portal in Share Point 2013 with multiple site collection. when accessing through IE, Chrome, we can do settings to avoid multiple password prompt by adding the domain name of site in Trusted sites. How we can achieve the same in Safari while accessing through MAC or IPAD

first time when you call the BSP application from the browser (or by double clicking the BSP_APPLICATION link from SAP GUI) you need to pass user credentials. For further windows this will not be required as browser will remember your info.
if you need to <b>somehow</b> avoid this then the only option is to hard code the user id and password in the service in transaction SICF or by passing the same via URL.
Another option is that if you port this application in a SAP portal environment, SSO can be used .
Hope this helps.
Regards
Raja

Outlook password prompt for mailboxes on Exchange 2013 CU1

I migrated a few users from our Exchange 2007 SP3 Update 10 server to Exchange 2013 CU1. Now in Outlook they are getting a password prompt, and it won't accept their password. Our public folders are still on Exchange 2007 if that makes a difference.
I tried running
Test-OutlookConnectivity -GetDefaultsFromAutoDiscover:$true
but it says it doesn't recognize the parameter -GetDefaultsFromAutoDiscover:$true
Here's the values for Get-OutlookAnywhere:
ExternalHostname : legacy.domain.com
InternalHostname :
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
IISAuthenticationMethods : {Ntlm}
ExternalHostname : mail.domain.com
InternalHostname : clippers.domain.local
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Negotiate
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Negotiate
IISAuthenticationMethods : {Negotiate}

Bypass user name and password prompt for sqlplus on Windows

Hi folks,
I had oracle 10g installed on my Windows XP SP2 system and everytime I use sqlplus, it prompts for user name and password. Some folks wrote some Unix shell scripts which invokes "sqlplus" without giving it user name and password, and these scripts are running fine on Solaris. So I would like to make these script to work on my Windows box as well. But obviously, it asks me user name and password every time. Since it is a shell script, sqlplus << EOT .... EOT will fail right away with : Fatal NI connect error 12560, blah blah blah...
So my question is how to make sqlplus bypass the user name and password questions.
Thanks,

No sqlplus /nolog does not connect you to the database, you still need to connect to the database.

Outlook Password prompt for Linked Mailboxes from certain Domain

Hello,
As part of a migration project, I'm trying to connect Outlook with Linked Mailboxes from users in a trusted domain.
I'm able to create the linked mailbox on the Exchange 2013 (CU7) server without any issue, but when I try to configure Outlook for these mailboxes, it is prompting for credentials permanently and won't start. Log on to OWA with the same user from the trusted
domain is working fine.
I'm able to configure Linked mailboxes from another trusted domain without any problems.
I've already recreated the trust between these two domains (validation tells everything is ok)
DNS is configured with conditional forwarders in both domains and name resolution looks ok to me (ping and nslookup)
When I look at the LinkedMasterAccount of the mailboxes from this domain, I can see that there is only the SID (S-1-5-21-4033829......). The other linked mailboxes (from the other domain where it's working) are showing the Account name (domain\user)
Internal and External ClientAuthenticationMethod of OutlookAnywhere is set to NTLM
Infos:
DomainA: Domainlevel 2012 - Exchange 2013 - Forest trust to Domain B and C
DomainB: Domainlevel 2008 - Exchange 2010 - Forest trust to Domain A - Outlook for linked Mailboxes of DomainA works fine
DomainC: Domainlevel 2008 - Forest trust to Domain A --> can't connect Outlook to LinkedMailboxes of this domain.
Is there anything else I can check?

Hi,
Please check whether the server is configured to only accept NTLM version 2 and reject NTLM and LM, and the Outlook client computer is not configured with the same LAN Mananger authentication level.
Check DC, Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Security Options -> Note the LAN Manager authentication level.
Check DC's policies, Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> expand Security Settings\Local Policies -> Security Options -> Note the Lan Manager authentication level.
IMPORTANT： You may also have to check policies that are linked at the site/domain/organizational unit levels to determine where the LAN Manager authentication level must be configured. Configure the LAN Manager authentication level to "Send
NTLMv2 response only". If you want to implement NTLM version 2 in your network, make sure that all computers in the domain are set to use this authentication level.
Thanks

J2EE Logon Servlet Prompting For Username Email

I have a situation in my landscape that recently, after patching the system to NW700 SPS23, some users would enter their logon and password correctly and then get confronted with an additional security screen requesting their firstname, lastname, email address and a message for the administrator (as if they were trying to perform self registration). They would kindly enter the requested information and it would pop up again and again, preventing use of the system. This doesn't happen to everyone though and appears to be in some way related to the URL the user was using.
I set logging to debug and could not find any trace of an error in the java logs when this occured. Ultimately, I provded a cleaner URL string (http://<server>:<port>/useradmin for example), had the user clear their browser cache, restart IE, and then it went away for them, even when using the old dirty URL. I am 100% positive it was not password related as I could log in fine on my machine, but not on another with my own and other admin accounts.
My question is: is anyone aware of any new security features implemented in NW700 SPS22 or 23 that could be causing this problem on some front-ends? Our users use Windows 7 and IE 8. It also occured on a calling java application server running IBM Websphere and an older OS and browser. This is what has me so suspicious about the patches themeselves.
The SAP app that is running on the NW700 machine is XMII 12.0.21. Though the symptom also occurs with calls to NWA, UME, SLD, etc. I also run a 701 webdispatcher on the machine which does some url translations, but again, it works fine on most front-ends.
Regards,
Phillip

With the recent upgrade to FF 6.0 how do we get password protection for the internet with FF back?

When our Mac was set up we had a password protected startup for FF, so without the password you could not start it.
With the recent upgrade to 6.0 that password request disappeared. How do we get it back?

Family sharing - kids get prompt for their iTunes account password for each purchase they make

so I have Family Sharing setup for my wife and kids.
My kids all have their own iCloud setup and the App/iTunes store is also logged in as themselves. (They don't have any CC info entered.)
My problem here is that when my 5 year old wants to download/purchase anything she gets a prompt for her AppleID password.. why is that when I'm the one who has to approve all purchases/download before anyways? This system doesn't seem to be "that" kid friendly when they have to enter a complex password every time they want to download/purchase anything.
Am I missing something? Is there a setting somewhere to disable or save password prompts for the App/iTunes store?

Have a look here...

Always Prompted for Password

I am using a POP3 SBC Yahoo email account and for some reason I get prompted every 5 mins to enter my password. I have click the save in Keychain box every time. Any ideas on how to get it to remember the password?
Thanks in advance!

Sometimes this is a bad keychain item or a bad keychain itself. Go into Keychain Access and find the password item for your email account. Delete it, and any others for the same account.
Re-enter the password via mail and see what happens. If it doesn't solve the problem, try Keychain First-aid in the Keychain menu of Keychain Access.

Prompted for Keychain password on login

I recently bound my Mac to my organization's Active Directory domain and everything works fine except after entering my credentials the password prompt for my keychain pops up, before the login screen even disappears. The login process continues and the prompt eventually goes away without any action on my part.
I ran Keychain First Aid, changed my password, and even deleted my keychain. I still get the prompt. One odd thing I have noted is in Keychain Access the System keychain is listed twice in the keychain list. I'm not sure why that is.
I don't get prompted for my Keychain anywhere else, so it seems to be working fine. Can anyone give me any ideas?

I solved my Problem by resetting my keychain. I went into Keychain Access -> Preferences, then clicked reset keychain. I was able to open my old keychain and import the old items into the new keychain so I didn't lose anything.
In order to get rid of the two listings for the System keychain I had to remove the System keychain. The two listings are gone but I don't have a System keychain anymore. I am assuming (and hoping) that the first time an item, like an Airport passowd, needs to get written to the System keychain it will get recreated.
