TS3276 I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails to people in my address book. Hotmail advised me to change my password for that account, which I did. Why won't mail recognise the new password?

I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails from my address book. Hotmail advised me to delete all contacts and change the password for that account, which I did on my laptop running windows XP. The change was successful and I was able to send and receive emails with no problem. I then had to change the account password on my iPhone 4s, which I did and it too was successful but when I came to change the password on my iMac, running the latest version of Lion it would not recognise the new password. I have tried to remove the account details and re-install but every time I go to add new account my old details are in the box. This is very frustrating as I use my iMac for all my profects and I need to access my email. Please help.

hi guys,
I had already deleted all reference to the hotmail account in question from the keychain access app, I have also tried to delete and re-instal the account details from within mail. The icon in the side bar dissapears but when I go to Add Account, the old account details are in the new account box. I then input my new password but am told that the server does not recognise it. If I access hotmail via google on the iMac I can get into my account with no problems. I am thinking there must be some other form of security system within the mac software that is blocking the new password. This is driving me nuts. I have been trying to resolve this for the last two days. Thank you for your advise anyway.

  • I'm using LR5 and have recently had a problem with selecting and deselecting images.  When I click on an image, the adjacent image also gets selected.

    To expand on the problem, I've tried importing a different catalog and I get the same problem so I think the issue is in the application.  Also I've tried using different mice and get the same result.  Do you think I need to uninstall LR and reinstall it?

    First, try rebooting your computer.
    Second, exit Lightroom and delete the LR preferences: Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5.  On Mac, reboot after deleting.  Sprinkling that magic fairy dust often fixes weirdness in the LR user interface.

  • I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestion"hours now

    I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestions?

    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    Additionally, your 24 hours don't start until you begin to watch the movie, you have 30 days to start watching the movie.

  • I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens.

    I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens. 
    I checked my secondary harddrive and there is plenty of memory.
    I emptied my burn folder but the photos still will not drop into it.
    I created a new burn folder, no luck with this either.
    230 photos is the maximum size of the events I am trying to move from iPhoto to save elsewhere.
    I have shut down and restarted my computer.   No change. The photos still will not drop out of iPhoto.
    My Mac Computer Storage shows that I have 62.2GB free out of 249.2GB (movies, photos and contacts taking up the most space)
    My Lacie External Harddrive (2TB capacity) shows that I have 1.79TB available.  It shows that 207,729,520,640 bytes (207.73 GB on disk) are used.
    I have never had this problem before.  It is usually very easy to move my photos from iPhoto.
    I am not a computer expert (I work in surgery so don't have a need for lots of computer knowledge) so please explain in simple terms.  
    Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
    I really appreciate it.

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

  • My old itunes id was an email that no longer can be used, therefore, I can not change the password for that account.  Everything that I purchased under that id name will not play.  How can I fix this?

    My old itunes id was an email that no longer can be used, therefore, I can not change the password for that account.  Everything that I purchased under that id name will not play.  How can I fix this?

    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed.  If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

    I downloaded an HD movie onto my laptop from i-tunes.  It plays fine on my laptop, but when I plug in my HD projector, the movie quits.  When I unplug the projector, the movie starts again. I have never had a problem with projecting an itunes movie before this. Someone told me that i-tunes changed something so that movies can no longer be projected.  We have a home theatre and have watched movies this way quite regularly, so it would be a drag if Apple will prevent us from doing this in the future. 

    I don’t know about projection, but I’m unable to watch HD content in iTunes because my Apple 30-inch Cinema Display is not HDCP-compliant (which is part of an HD copy-protection scheme).
    The other movies you’ve projected, were they HD as well? If not, it could be the same problem: your projector is not HDCP-compliant.

  • I keep getting adobe script problems. I have 3.6.13 version and have never had this problems with prior versions

    I can't find a solution to the adobe flashplayer that is associatied with Firefox. I keep getting script problems and am asked to either continue or ignore the problem. I've been a long-time user of Firefox and have never had any problems with Firefox or any associated programs (plug-ins) and so this is a surprise to me. I checked the version of the flashplayer and find that I have the most current version; so I'm not sure what's going on.

  • I changed my apple id password are my imessages still there and can they be viewed without the new password?

    i changed my apple id password are my imessages still there and can they be viewed without the new password?

    If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information.  Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

  • I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account.  How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

    I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account.  Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace.  How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

  • I have not had any problems with iOS 4

    I don't know about you guys, but I have not had any problems yet for the new iOS 4 update on my iPhone 3g. I followed the instructions provided on apple's website on how to download the new update and also downloaded from apple's website the new version of iTunes (9.2). From there I proceeded to update my iPhone the way you normally update. iTunes then backed up my iPhone, restored the original iOS software, installed the new iOS 4 software, reloaded my iPhone with all apps (in their proper spots), no music (i forgot to check sync all for my music tab), all contacts, all calendar updates, all settings, all photos, everything went perfectly fine for me. I do not know why so many people are having problems, but though if I posted up exactly what I did maybe we could compare the methods that did not work and determine the problematic issue at hand.
    The computer i used was a Power Mac G4 with Mac OS X Server V. 10.5.8
    The iPhone that I am using is an iPhone 3G update from 3.1.3 to 4.0
    The iTunes store was the updated 9.2
    I hope we can figure all this out for everyone

    I wouldn't surprise me either, particularly since in my direct experience I know personally of one person who had problems because they thought that the update process had finished when it definitely had not.
    We're left again with mixed emotions:
    1) Delight that the updates to all of our devices worked flawlessly;
    2) Guilt that some others had problems, particularly when some of that 'some' seem to think that everyone has the same problems as themselves;
    3) Isolated because we feel sort of left out having no problems to fix for ourselves and too many of those we try to help only want to blame Apple rather than 'fess up' to their own errors.
    Ho hum....
    Perhaps telling enough people to be patient with all updates might help for the future?

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • I have not had ANY Problems with my iphone4

    I have had my iphone 4 since the first day it came out. I was lucky. I have not had any of the issues people are hyping on about. NONE. I tried to recreate them and I couldn't.
    I think Steve Jobs did a great job today during his press conference. I think the press made more of this than there is and that is screwed up because than can hurt people's business.
    I might be a little naive..just wanted to give me two cents.
