TS2634 I can't open email. Keeps asking for my yahoo password. Will not accept any password I put in. When I try to reset, it wants to confirm to an alternate email, which I do not have?

My email app will not longer display my messages. It asks for my yahoo password and then accepts none of the passwords I ever remember using. When trying to reset the password, it prompts me to use an alternate email address which I do not have? Any advise?

Can you sign in at yahoo.com?
If you can sign in then it's not a password problem.
Yahoo servers have been having probelms with not accepting the right credentals on mobile devices.
The only two ways I have seen this type of issue are to simply wait and keep trying or:
Sign into yahoo.com on a comptuer.
Sign into yahoo.com on the device
Delete the account that you have added and attempt to re-add the account - about a 50% chance the account won't re-add to the device.
If this doesn't work then your back to the first option to wait till it works again.

I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.

New Ipad Air everfthing transfereed over but cannot send emails keeps asking for a stmp password.

New Ipad Air have managed to transfer over all apps and photos, but it will not let me send e mails keeps asking for a stmp pasword can any one help please.

Hi bmwk100rt!
You will need to do this in settings. Go to mail in settings and tap on your account. Go down the page, past where it asks for your address and p-word, and there will be a window for stmp. Tap on that, and you'll be able to enter your information there. It's usually the same info as for your email. Good luck, and I hope this helps!

Just installed ios5 and now email keeps asking for password

Why does one of my email accts keep asking for a password when I've already added one? Tried everything
Just installed ios5.

You have two passwords to contend with (more than likely). Your incoming and your outgoing.
In Settings, go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Select Your Account/Look for Outgoing Mail Server and review the settings there. 9.9 times out of 10, this is your internet provider.
Hope this helps.

Calendar App keeps asking for my Yahoo password

If I start up the Calendar App in Mavericks, I am constantly asked for my Yahoo Account password.
I enter the password, nothing. So Calendar asks me again, what is the Yahoo Password?
I have deleted the iCloud account from my iMac.
Reset up a new iCloud Account.
Changed the Yahoo Account password.
Trashed Yahoo Mail accounts in settings on iMac and iPad.
Then readded Yahoo Account in Mail settings w new password.
I made a calendar date on my iPad, the iMac immediately showed it.
So incidents are synced.
So why can't Calendar accept my yahoo password? Or do I even need Calendar to open, if all date incidents are synced?

Back up all data.
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. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
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.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

My Mac keeps asking for my "login" keychain after I changed my password on my Mac. How do I stop the popups?

I forgot the password to my Mac, so I reset my password, and ever since then, there have been popups asking for my "login" keychain password. I enter it every time, but they still pop up. Also, my Mail keeps asking for the password to my email, and iMessage is on, but I can't receive any messages, and the window won't even pop up.
Does anyone know the solution for this?

Go to your Utilities folder and open Keychain Access. Follow the steps here: Mac OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password.

Mail keeps asking for my yahoo password

Running Mail in Mountain lion. About every 10 mins. I am asked for my yahoo password. Have gmail account with no problems. No problems with the mail accounts on iPhone or iPad. Apple support says it's a problem with Yahoo servers. No answer from Yahoo yet. Any thoughts?

Ok so apparently I have been having this question & issues for months. I got so tired of pop up for pw screen. So i did my research with yahoo....
Apparently if you have a FREE yahoo account (email) , well then your SOL.... Basically.... You now have to upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus ( http://mailplus.mail.yahoo.com/ ) the cost shows $19.99 p/yr. and in reading ABOUT Yahoo Mail Plus it mentions, the ability to use email clients such as outlook ,etc..
A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT for me, but THANK GOD I finally decided to seek help and now I got my answer. Hope this helps other frustrated YAHOO'ers that were having the same issues with Mac Mail on OS Mountain Lion for Macpro

Siri asks for contact choice but doesn't accept any answer

When I dictate an email I begin by saying "send email to" and I say the name.
If there is more than one contact meeting the criteria SIri will display multiple names and say for example, "you have 2 contacts named xxxxxx, which one should I use?" And then she beeps for a response.
I say one of the names.
But Siri does not accept any answer and keeps re-asking and re-beeping for a response.
I have to manually touch a selection for the process to continue.
If this is a bug, how do I report it?

Thelgord, iPauer,
first of all, thank you for you're answers. But nothing you've mentioned worked for me.
I've changed "My Info" to someone else and back again. I have no linked contacts, no duplicates, no middle initials or something else. I just have contacts in the contact app, saved at/in iCloud.
I've determined, of which I dont't know if it'll help me on at the moment, that it works when I'm deactivating iCloud contacts (Settings->iCloud->Contacts). I choose "delete" when iPhone asks what I would like to do with previously synced iCloud Contacts and all contacts are gone. I then create a new contact for my wife/brother/etc. and a new contact for myself (put it into 'My Info' in Settings) with all relations in it. Now Siri works as I expected.
For me, it seems to be somehow related to iCloud sync of contacts, that Siri is not working properly.

My email keeps asking for my password

When I bought my Mac Air, at the beginning of last month, my email address was being hacked into on a near constant basis (This had nothing to do with apple, it was all BT's fault.) Anyway, during those weeks, I had to reset and change my password all the time, also having to change it on my ipad, iphone and obviously my new mac. Since then, everything regarding my email has been sorted and i've had no problems with the account, but the email 'app' on my mac constantly asks for me to verify the password. It never tells me the password is wrong (which it isn't anyway) but everytime I log on to my mac, before I do anything, I get a little pop up that asks me to type in the password for my email, and it does that once or twice throughout my time on my laptop and everytime I log on.
I obviously did something during the time I was trying to fix my bt account but It's frustrating and I don't know how to stop it! Any help would be brilliant!

If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
Step 1
When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
Step 2
Check that the keychain is working.
Step 3
Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

Email Keeps Asking for Password on Mac Mail

Mac Mail very often asks for the password on my Verizon email accounts (only). When I go into Mail preferences often the password has been erased. I have also changed the authentication settings from APOP to POP.
Is this a port issue? My port is still 110.

Its an issue that is specific to the keychain access and mac mail.
Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access and from Keychain Access menu item and run First Aid. Plus find the saved password entry that Mail keeps asking you for.
Then run Mail again and tell it to save the password again to see if it sticks.

Email keeps asking for me to sign into icloud

I have an iPhone5 using OS 7.1.2 (I have not updated to OS8 yet).
When clicking on the email icon, I get an opening page that has several email apps to choose from. Since the only one I have on this list is iCloud, I fill in my Apple ID and PW. It says it is already added to this phone.
This is as far as I can go. It worked earlier today, but tonight this has changed.
Any suggestions on how to get it to go to mail?
Sue

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
