Thunderbird asks for password but won't accept the right one for email account

Just installet Thunderbird on my Mac and I know my password but TB is asking for it every time I start the program and I retype it but it won't accept it over and over again. I use iCloud and all is right configured by the auto installation

...or just buy the products you are using!
I was not asked for my serial after updating.
But beeing friendly:
There is one chance, that you will be asked for your serial number.
When you got a new PPC and backuped your entire harddrive from
another PPC (the old one) then you will be asked for your serial
number, because your "Ethernet MAC Address" changed!
Happy Holidays,

  • It keeps asking for my password but won't accept the usual password.

    When I try to access my account I get the following error message: "Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: Username and password not accepted." However, when I look up the account information the username and password I see are the same ones I have been using. How can I clear this up? I tried setting up a new account but it didn't work. Thanks!

    If you changed your password in gmail webmail account, then you will need to remove and re-enter the saved password in Thunderbird.
    re: Error message 'Username and password not accepted'
    I have known a similar issue occur after an update.
    I've also experienced a server request to loggon to webmail account cuase this, in which case logon to webmail and everything works ok afterwards.
    That error message could mean the username and password are incorrect or it may not be correct for the chosen settings - meaning the settings are wrong.
    Note: Username = full email address.
    So try this:
    if the password was remembered, remove it.
    'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Security' > 'Passwords' tab
    click on 'Saved passwords'
    click on 'show passwords'
    If Thunderbird password manager was instructed to remember passwords, they will show up in the list. There will be be two, one called mailbox and the other smtp. highlight both and click on 'Remove' then click on 'Close' then click on OK to save changes to Options.
    Close Thunderbird and wait a few moments for background processes to finalise.
    Restart Thunderbird.
    On startup it should prompt for a password.
    enter the password,
    make sure you select the checkbox for Password Manager to remember the password
    click on OK.

  • HT6114 my hot mail account will not let me access it keeps asking for password but won't authorise it?

    my hotmail account will not open. keeps asking for password but will not accept the password when i enter it. its the correct passwrd?

    Hello Duncan,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Mail on your Mac.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
    If you entered the correct password in the password dialog in Mail, but continue to be asked for your password, try these solutions.
    Open Keychain Access, then locate and delete the mail account password item.
    Open Disk Utility, select the volume (for your hard disk or disks) in the list, click First Aid, then Verify Disk. After you’ve verified (and repaired, if necessary) the disk, try sending yourself a message.

  • Why can I not download the latest version of Flash? Keeps asking me for my password but won't accept

    Why can I not download the latest version of Flash? Keeps asking me for my password but won't accept even though I go through a reset process of a new passwork to ensure it is correct.

    What kind of password?  Can you post a screenshot of that prompt?
    Also, what is your operating system & version?
    What is your web browser?

    I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...???? In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x

    unfortunately - you can not.  you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
    does it have to be outlook?  maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
    how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
    or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
    good luck

    You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

  • Are not the right ones for the icloud account. How can I find out what these are?

    I have downloaded icloud onto my PC. When I try to access my account I am told that although my Apple ID and password are correct they are not the right ones for the icloud account.How can I find out what these are?

    Oh, then you can't unless you know someone with a Mac you could use for a moment or 2. (Like at the Apple Store)

  • How can i find out which Macbook is the right one for me?

    I am looking into buying anew laptop and I'm currently considering a macbook as oppose to a windows laptop. which one is the right one for me?
    1. I will be using it for my work at college and university so it will need to have a reasonable amount of storage and have the correct programs.
    2. I use the internet alot.
    3. I have an ipod touch so i will need storage for my music.
    4. It will need it to be quite quick.
    5. It will need to support some software that i use on windows.
    Also, do you think a macbook is what i need as oppose to windows. what are the pros and cons of the macbook

    This is the most important question. I would check with your school. They may have a recommendation for what you need and the software you will need to use. They also may have a discount program for you to purchase your computer. If not Apple does have an education discount plan to give you a break.
    5. it will need to support some software that I use on windows.
    Hard to give an answer for this as we have no idea what your going to be using or what your school requires you to use. My sons college had specific programs he had to have.

  • Is CF the right one for me?

    I am trying to decide if CF is the right language for a side
    project I am beginning. I am not a beginner to web design but am
    far from advanced. I have made stuff in the past and have a
    knowledge of html. I also use to write software in VB6 (nothing to
    crazy just small side stuff). I am embarking on a project to write
    some intranet workbench software for my company. I want it to serve
    as a salesmen ordering/tracking system as well as a project
    management system. Obviously it is a big task and I am going to
    break it into small pieces to work on over time and continue to
    expand and use it.
    I have seen CF before and know people who swear by it. I have
    used it briefly so I have some understanding.
    My question would be as to the correct way to move forward on
    this project.
    First, is a web project vs. a standalone installed product
    the way to go?
    Second, what is the right technology (CF, ASP?) I have no
    knowledge of ASP so that would be a learning curve.
    It is not expected to be hit by a tremendous amount of
    employees. Currently we have 29 and I was going to use an access
    database so any server technology should be less of a bottleneck
    than my database.
    I guess before I start in the wrong direction I wanted to get
    some feedback on what direction you all would recommend?

    Coldfusion is a kids language, a dying language, an out of
    date
    language, ect, ect.
    No seriously, the main problem with CF is adoption. Some folk
    complain about
    cost, but the issue is adoption (though I am sure there is a
    connection).
    If CF not being as popular as other soultions is not a
    problem (popularity
    isn't everything), then go for it if you can afford it.
    Personally I would
    be considering better priced options that offer more RAD
    features (Ruby On
    Rails, for example, is free) - but that wuold be mostly
    becasue I am not
    sure what the future holds for CF and I happen to know that
    the Ruby option
    is much faster to code.
    If CF is something you are comfortable with, then there is no
    reason to not
    use it - it WILL get the job done.

  • It keeps asking for my IMAP password, but won't accept what I enter

    I keep getting a message asking for my IMAP password. But when I enter what I think is my password, it does not accept it, and asks again. And again.
    This is new behavior.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Go to Settings/Mail... and delete the account. Then reconfigure it again with the new information.

  • Mail keeps asking for password but won't go online

    I am having multiple problems with passwords on my MB Pro -- FYI running 10.9.   Just fixed a problem with being unable to get into my admin account because I didn't know the password; got that fixed then had problems with keychains - still having.  Keeps asking if I want to go back to default keychain (don't get the keychain thing as it is).  Now both emails are offline and Mail keeps asking me to enter passwords but then it won't go online.  could use some advice or links to fixes

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) 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.

  • Reset ipad2, now keep getting iCloud box requesting password--but won't accept!  How to solve?

    I have an ipad2 that was displaying about 20 greyed out app icons.  It took awhile (and User Manual was no help), but I finally concluded that these apps could not update--which was why I woulld see the caption change to "Waiting" under them when pressed.  Thought I should try to Reset all settings (not data) under the General tab, see if that would allow them to update.  Seemed to work, since all greyed icons disappeared.  But next time I turned on the iPad, I got an iCloud box, showing my email, asking for Apple password.  Typed it in, and it would not accept.  After several tries, got a "If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it" message, with "Reset" and "Okay" choices.  NEITHER worked.  Nor would trying to enter about a dozen other passwords that I commonly use.  Finally went to support, changed my password--which works on this Compaq laptop, and got me into this account.  But the new password also will not work for iCloud.  Nothing I can do seems to have any effect on the iPad, but when the cable is connected to this laptop, I do get the two-tone sound indicating plug in, disconnect.  Does ANYone have any suggestions as to how I can get rid of this idiotic iCloud message?  (If so, I will probably take the app OFF my iPad, just use it for Android phone, laptop, and desktop.  This is RIDICULOUS--and Apple should be addressing it.  (I seem to see other questions that are sort of the same.)
    Please respond ASAP--need to take this iPad from Jackson Hole to Austin for three-day reunion on Wednesday, show some old pix on it!

    There isn''t a "key" for "I forgot the password" to your wifi.  If you didn't set the wifi password on your router, it may be printed on a label on the back or side of your router.
    If you are entering the correct password, but it is not being saved, unplug your router for 15 seconds, then plug it back in, the on your phone go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings, then try joining your wifi again and see if the password is saved now.

  • Help, just had my iphone 3 but can't connect to wifi put in the correct password but won't accept it, any ideas??

    Help, just had my iphone 3 but can't connect to wifi, i get as far as the password put in the correct password but it won't accept it, any ideas?? Thanks

    What type of encryption are you using with your wireless network -WEP or WPA?
    If your wireless router supports both which it should unless it is quite old and you are using WEP, try switching to WPA which is much more secure than WEP which is important if you have a Windows PC or any Windows based device connected to your network.
    In addition, when was the last time you checked Netgear's website to see if there is a firmware update available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed?

  • My licensed copy of CS6 downloads but won't accept the serial number

    I have a licensed copy of Photoshop CS6 (supplied only as a download by Adobe).  Following a computer crash, I needed to re-install CS6, the download completed, the software then asked for the serial no. which I duly entered, and despite the fact it is the registered number for this software (also shown in our Adobe account and from my own records), adobe will not register it, instead a window pops up after entering the required details, claiming that the registered number is not for the product it just downloaded.  This is a total contradiction of what is clearly shown on their own log of my purchases, which show exactly the same number entered for my copy of CS6.  Of course, despite the fact I only bought the damn software 9  months ago, they do not allow access to support in order for them to correct something that is clearly Adobe's own bug.  Basically, I have bought a very expensive program and they, in their wisdom have created a problem that means I can no longer have access to it.  This is daylight robbery and a shameful way to treat loyal customers who have spent thousands of pounds over the years for licensed copies of Adobe software.  All I ask is that a customer service advisor, correct the fault and register my copy with the number it has on record, because, for some reason, it won't let me do it.  I have today worked with a kind Microsoft technician for 6 hours, trying to re-install my licensed copy on to my restored version of windows to no avail, Adobe really do need to give people access to their own staff so that registry errors like this can be solved.  Lets face it, a forum is not going to be able to fix this one is it.

    I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CS6 (standard) from Adobe, once finished it then opened a window asking if I want it activated as a 30 day trial or as a licensed copy and once I choose the latter. It requested the serial number, so I entered the serial number applying to the licensed version I have of Photoshop CS6 (the same program I downloaded) which was then rejected, with an error message that stated that, although the serial number is valid, the program cannot be found on my computer (that is a mystery to me, given that it has just spent half an hour downloading it and has followed the download with the prompts), I was then prompted to choose from a drop down menu below.  The drop down menu shows the extended version of Photoshop CS6 but not the standard version that I bought last May, effectively preventing me from installing my own version of the software.  Is this a way that Adobe have of forcing everyone into ongoing contracts on cloud.  I just bought the program, I don't want to go on cloud.  Adobe's security was breached before and why should I be forced to pay twice.
    After helping me reinstall windows 8.1 on to my computer an Engineer from Microsoft struggled with this all afternoon and most of this evening, and even he could not get it to work, so what chance have I got if he can't do it and Adobe refuse to help.
