TS3276 each day i must enter my password for apple mail,however the email works ok on firefox

each day i must enter my password and reenter my email accout, mail works ok all day next day same thing. same email account works ok on my firefox help!

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.

  • Lost password for Apple ID and the email on record is no longer valid

    Hi,
    I have to apple accounts, one for Mexico, where I live, and one for the US Store, where I made some purchases.
    I just bought a new computer and would like to transfer all of my iTunes related files to the new computer. However, I do not remember my password for the US store. Since I created it several years ago, the email that I submitted when I created the account is no longer valid. So, it is no use to send me an email to that address to reset the password of my US account because that email address does not work any longer.
    I have tried answering the security sessions instead, but even though I am positive that I am submitting the correct answers, I get a message claiming that my answers do not match the ones Apple has on record. So....
    What can I do to retrieve my password and have access to the files that were purchased in the US store?
    Thanks in advance for any help on this issue.

    Hi Larry,
    Thanks for your reply. I tried following that link, but I didn't get anywhere. It gave me the same two options to reset my password:
    a) Email a link to an account that no longer exists
    b) Security questions, which for some reason did not work.
    So I am basically stuck in the same place: I cannot access my US iTunes account.

  • Creation of a new Keychain Entry (Internet password) for Apple Mail

    I am working on a Mail Assistant to set up a new Mail Account for Apple Mail.
    My problem concerns the creation of the Keychain Entry for the POP Account with which Apple Mail is set up (by my custom Mail Assistant).
    I am able to create a Keychain Entry with all relevant User Data, the Keychain Entry also appears to be valid (I ran the Keychain First Aid Tool to check it), but when I start the Apple Mail App, it does not recognise the created Keychain entry, but is asking me to enter the Password for the POP Account which I set up successfully.
    Any help is appreciated for giving me a hint of how Apple Mail recognises or links respectively to its adherent Keychain Entry.
    Thanks in advance
    Thomas

    Couple of things to try Theo...
    Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • HT203808 I have an iphone 5 and an iphone 5s and an i pad all asociated with the same apple id, however the email address is no longer in use and i need to delete this off the devices but get incorrect password info everytime i try to reset it.

    You are obviously talking about a password that you need in order to delete the iCloud account since you do not delete an Apple ID on a device, you sign out of it and sign in with the new one.

  • Since updating to ios7 i keep getting requests to enter my password for yahoo mail, my email account, and the itunes account details too. The email is connected though and i have no problem receiving new emails. Any ideas ?

    ...I am also concerned as I found an email in my sent items today to someone i have never heard of before....saying hello. I suspect this might mean the problem is the yahoo account maybe hacked but I have no idea....thanks, Stewart

    It sounds as if your account has been compromised. I would recommend logging into those accounts from your computer and their websites and changing your password.

    Can you password protect your email so when you want to access any of your mail accounts you must enter a password?  In other words before I can see my mail I must enter a password.

    It's going to be impossible for anyone in this forum to help with your issue if you don't provide any more detail about your environment and Apex installation. However, from your post it looks like the Apex database objects are missing or invalid.
    Did you follow the Apex installation guide step by step? For example, did you run apexins.sql?
    It's important to follow the documentation. The script you are running to change the admin user password should not be run until after the Apex installation is complete.

    Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom
