Seahorse keeps asking about password, even when ssh-key is used

Hi,
I want easy access to my repos on bitbucket.
I have set my id_rsa.pub in bitbucket preferences, but when I try take any action on repo I have to type password .
First there is graphical popup menu to type password, when I cancel it I can type password in terminal.
error: unable to read askpass response from '/usr/lib/seahorse/seahorse-ssh-askpass'
Password for 'https://[email protected]':
I have tried set ssh-key for bitbucket on my raspberry pi, and it works properly (no password is needed).

I do not use Bitbucket, but I think this is similar to the issue with GitHub that I have noticed. Basically, when the url scheme of the remote is https:// , I am always asked for a password, but when there is no scheme (for github this is 'remote [email protected]:XXX/XXX') (or when the scheme is ssh:// , I assume), the ssh key is used.
I suggest you see whether you can use an alternate url scheme and see if it fixes the problem.
Hope this helps!

Though it's unlikely to be wrong if things were set up properly in the first place, as a check go to Mail Preferences>Accounts and check that the server setting for IMAP (incoming) is imap.mail.me.com (not just mail.me.com).
Your next step either way would be to go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign out, then sign back in again. (You can ignore warnings about data disappearing - your calendars etc. will disappear when you sign out but reappear when you sign back in).

Mail keeps asking for password even though I checked "add password to ..."

keychain"
This started happen a few days ago. Every few minutes when it checks my main mail account, the password box pops up. I searched on here, saw recommendation for running Keychain FirstAid. Ran it and it gave me this error message:
"Repair started
Checking keychain configuration for user (user ID=501)
Home directory is /Users/user
Checked login keychain
User differs on ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.plist, should be 501, owner is 0

How do I fix this problem? l have several mailboxes for different accounts and I have seen this happen occassionally with them as well.

Of course you only had read access to that file. That’s precisely what I said and why I suggested to do File > Get Info (⌘I) on com.apple.security.plist, to fix that problem by changing the Owner in the Ownership & Permissions > Details section, which was wrong and the cause of the problem...
Anyway, the file should be re-created when needed, so I wouldn’t worry about that. Actually, opening Keychain Access and running Keychain First Aid again may cause the file to be re-created.
The thing is, do you still have the problem of Mail repeatedly asking for the password? If Keychain First Aid doesn’t report any problems now, you may try removing the password entry from the keychain and letting Mail create it again the next time it asks for it.
Note, however, that Mail often doesn’t correctly report what the problem really is. If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it’ll ask for your password regardless of whether that’s really the problem or not. Don’t keep entering the password every time, because that’s not the problem (click Cancel instead, and take the account back online afterwards).
Some ISPs refuse connection attempts if they are too frequent, for example, or limit the number of simultaneous connections that are allowed from the same IP address, or there may be too many messages on the server and Mail times out before the server responds, or there might be a problem with the network, or there might be a problem with the server...
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Try also turning OFF all the network port configurations except the one needed to connect to Internet and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
What’s the time interval chosen in Mail > Preferences > General > Check for New Mail? If it’s set to Every minute, try changing it to Every 5 minutes.
Try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
You may also want to check with the provider of this account in case they’ve made some changes recently that could have a bearing on this.

Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

Apps won't download, keeps asking for password even after I enter it.

When I go to download any app, it asks for my password, I enter my password, it thinks for a second, then asks for my password again. It does this continuously and no apps will download. Please help. So far I have tried to sign out of my Apple ID then restart the phone and sign back in. I have tried going to Settings > Wifi then hitting the info button and hitting Renew Lease. I also made sure my Data & Time settings were set to automatic. These were all of the suggestions I have seen, need some more!

Yes, it shows it, and it is correct. I even tried typing in an incorrect password, and it says that password is incorrect when I am typing my password wrong.

Hi Aurion23,
If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

Hi,
Many (most) Jabber servers including GoogleTalk and Facebook use SSL to login to the servers.
In Messages > Preferences > Accounts > Jabber account > Server settings
The default port for SSL logins is port 5223 (it changes automatically when you click SSL).
You cannot change this Pane unless logged out of the server.
Most servers will not accept a login on the non SSL (port 5222) although it would appear you are at least being asked.
If the Account Info tab says the Account is Enabled then untick this to Log out.
Then go back to the Server Setting tab and turn on SSL

Finder keeps asking for password verification

Finder keeps asking for password verification when I ask to move or delete a file.
How can I stop this from happening?
Thanks in advance.

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

When trying to download Apps ipad keeps asking for password. Correct password given but has no effect.

When trying to download Apps, ipad keeps asking for password. Correct password given but has no effect and box requesting password input appears again.

Try downloading something in the iTunes app on the iPad and see if that gets you out of the password loop that you are stuck in.

Hi, Trex8.
There are a couple things that you can try to resolve this issue. First, I would recommend processing any updates needed to the computer and iTunes. You can check for updates in iTunes by selecting the help menu and check for updates. If iTunes is on the current version, see the article below.
