TS3899 "Incorrect Password" when getting email on Iphone 5

I have read all the past threads on this, did anyone find a permanent resolution to the problem?  I have it going on now and it is driving me crazy.

Comcast can be interesting sometimes. They have been my provider, and have had some issues, especially when they changed the port number they use for mobile devices. They have a support page specifically for the iPhone settings, but you may want to delete the account from the iPhone and re-enter it, making sure to enter the username and password everywhere it asks for it, even where it says optional. See this picture for SMTP settings for Comcast.

    I would say that you would want to look into the "Exchange Mode" for GMail.  That would allow your iPhone to sync calendars, contacts and email with GMail just fine.  Doing the same with your outlook should also then sync those same with your PC using Outlook.  I've done teh iPhone side of this, but I since I don't run Lookout for my email client, I'm not sure how that will work on the PC side.

  • HT1386 we are using same laptop with my wife for our 2 iphones and when sincronizing, she's getting my apps and is requested for my apple id and password when getting a new app on her device. How can i fix that issue?

    we are using same laptop with my wife for our 2 iphones and when sincronizing, she's getting my apps and is requested for my apple id and password when getting a new app on her device. How can i fix that issue?

    Each phone needs to set its own sync settings on the various tabs in iTunes.  On the Apps tab, for example, uncheck the apps that you don't want on the phone being synced.  This article may also be of interest: http://gigaom.com/apple/itunes-101-multiple-devices-one-itunes-account/.
    You can change the Apple ID used for purchasing on her phone by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using her Apple ID.  However, be aware that if she has any apps on her phone purchased with your Apple ID she will still be prompted to enter the password associated with this ID for all future updates of these apps.  This is because apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID in Settings>Store.

  • I keep getting "incorrect password" when I try to sign in for face-time

    I keep getting "incorrect password" when I try to sign in for face-time on my new iPad. the pw works fine in apps and to get in here just not on face time.
    Should I uninstall face time (if i can find out how!) and then if I do that, can I download it (and from where?) to re-install? it was on the desktop when I got the iPad

    You can't uninstall native apps. Sign out completely from facetime, itunes and app stores.
    then:
    Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    Sign back in to facetime

    how to save message when getting "email not responding"

    How could you even know if you have a message if the email account isn't responding?
    Quit the mail app and reboot your iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail icon. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • When opening email on Iphone 5 keeps saying password is missing for icloud account? I have checked and triple checked all account details and I can access icloud on all other devices

    New iphone 5: whenever I check my email, as it's checking the icloud account it keeps popping up "Password is Missing". I have checked al my account details and I am inputing everything right and can access icloud on other devices. I've rebooted my iphone and still no go - any suggestions?

    You have to do the following to get your new Apple/iCloud ID signed onto your device:
    1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old email address (do not verify it - this is temporary):
    Apple - My Apple ID
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and Delete the iCloud account. Use your current Apple ID password when asked. Follow the prompts to delete the account
    3.     Go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to your new email address (you may need to verify it again)
    4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign onto iCloud with your new Apple ID. Turn on the options you want sync'd with iCloud, give it a little time to push the info down to your device.
    Cheers,

  • TS3899 Problem getting emails with Iphone 6

    Hi, I used i phone 3 before and I used 3 email accounts before.
    I bought a i phone 6 3 days ago.
    I set up all 3 email accounts, but 2 of them cannot get emails.
    Only one account is getting email.s
    The other two accounts are hotmail and my university account that uses office 365 server.
    How can I fix it?
    I did deleting and adding new accounts several times.
    But it does not fix the problem/

    What happens when you try to get mail? Is it only receiving mail that is having the problem? Have you checked the accounts to ensure you have all of the correct username and password credentials on each of the accounts?

  • Can't reconnect to sync from work - firefox login fails with "Incorrect password" when I know it is correct

    I can happily connect my home computers and phone to sync and I have confirmed they sync between themselves. However, my work computer has recently stopped being able to sync where it has previously been fine for well over a year. I am on the latest version of sync and Firefox 35.0.1 (both at home and work).
    When I try to reconnect to sync I am directed to the "Sign in to continue" page. It has my correct email address/account name. I enter my password (clicking "Show" to make sure it's correct) but then it always fails with "Incorrect password" in a red banner at the top. I have checked the password is correct and logged out and back in from home using the same password so I know that is correct. I have tried this logged in to work via remote desktop so I could do both at the same time to make sure there isn't just a prevailing sync server problem.
    Obviously my work computer is behind a proxy/firewall. I have recently had to add a new certificate as a result of proxy changes to get internet connectivity working. Anecdotally, I think sync stopped working at a similar time - but it's always easy to remember these things differently when you're looking for a solution. So this could be a red herring.
    Your help in getting this fixed would be much appreciated!

    Thanks for your reply.
    i've deleted all cookies, although I don't really understand how that relates. I have also spoken to our sysadmin who says we don't block access to firefox accounts per se, we do block all file-esque uploads. However, I am not sure this would make any difference to the exact problem I am seeing which is that I can't sign in to my firefox sync account. But maybe signing in to this account is different to a "normal" account - maybe there is more of a two way handshake which relies on sending some encrypted data which appears to our proxy like a file being uploaded out of the company.
    I got a slightly different error on my latest clear down and retry, in that the sign in just waited forever (overnight) without success.
    Any further help gratefully received...

  • IOS Incorrect Password when I put in the correct password?

    I have had problems with all four iOS devices on my network for three days. It started Thursday (2/12/15) evening, and has been happening ever since. It has to be a relatively global problem because I have a friend in IT who says all of the 40+ iPads on his network have the same problem. My 2 iPhones and 2 iPads will not connect to my WiFi, and when I type in the password (which I know by heart and have verified several times) it says it's an incorrect password. If I go into my router and change the password and then change it back, the devices will connect again. This seemed to have fixed it -- until mid-day today. I haven't tried any resets yet, I wanted to see if anyone else has had a problem. I believe all the devices are on iOS 8. There are 2 iPad 2s, an iPhone 5S, and an iPhone 5C. My network has no problems with my android phone or several laptops. We have never had issues before. The network is secured using WPA2-PSK.

    The password is your login password for your account on your own local system. 
    This password is not the password associated with your AppleID. 
    This password entry ensures that you are confirming that potentially significant changes can be made to your operating system.  This prompt is intended to increase the difficulty for an attacker intent on loading malware onto your OS X system.
    The reason you don't have to do this on (older) Microsoft Windows systems (and many of these are running with the Administrator-level access) is also why these (older) Windows releases can tend to get infected; there's no control over who does what within the operating system files and directories.
    Newer Microsoft Windows versions can and be and often are configured for something similar to the Mac authentication dialogs with the user account control (UAC) mechanisms; these prompt for authentication before making changes.

  • Can't get emails on iPhone 4

    Had to change my email password on my iMac.  Now I can't get emails on my iPhone 4.  Tried to change the password for email on my iPhone 4.  But it's asking to delete my acct????????

    Try a reset on the phone. It will not affect data at all. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. See what happens when the phone reboots. Many times when a phone goes from one carrier/country to another, the device has to be reset to be recognized on the home network again. You could also try toggling Airplane mode on and off as well. Turn on Airplane mode, wait about 30 seconds and then turn it back off. See if that helps.

  • How to get emails on iphone and mail on my computer?

    Hi there,
    I use mail on my Mac to get my emails and since getting my iphone i also use this. the problem is when i have mail on my computer open i only get emails sent to it. when i dont have it open i only get them sent to my iphone.
    how do i set it up so i will receive all emails on both my phone and computer?
    thanks.

    It sounds like you are using a POP3 mail server. POP3 was designed to have only one client, so when a message is downloaded to the client by default it is deleted from the server. This dates from the time when it was considered inconceivable that anyone would have more than one computer to read mail. There is a solution and a workaround. The Solution is to switch to an IMAP mail server. IMAP was designed to support multiple clients; the master copy of each message remains on the server, and the clients sync to it.
    The workaround is to change the settings of the mail clients (mail.app and the iPhone) to leave messages on the server. This is not as convenient, because you have to delete them manually, but if you don't have an IMAP server it is the best you can do.

  • Unknown User/Incorrect Password when trying to access external drive

    I just set up my airport extreme base station, plugged in USB hub with two printers, and all worked excellent. Then I hooked up an external hard drive, again no problems at all. I was able to access the hard drive on my MacBook Pro with the password I set up and everything was great. When I try to access the hard drive on my windows computer, I keep getting a message saying "unknown user, incorrect password, contact administrator" I am using the same password I used on my MacBook. The drive was formatted in Fat32 and works on my MacBook and on my windows PC when connected directly via USB. The only problem seems to be when I try to access the drive on the windows PC. The drive shows up no problem and the dialogue box opens and asks for the password, but then I keep getting that error message. I contacted apple tech support and they pretty much told me they have nothing to do with windows, even though the product can by run entirely on windows machines with no macs at all. Has anyone else had any problems like this, or have any clue what I might be able to do???
    Thanks

    Will windows recognize a drive formatted in Mac OS
    Extended? I had originally tried that, and my
    windows pc wouldnt even recognize it.
    Well XP/Vista will not play nice with it unless you buy and install a Windows shareware/boxware program called MacDrive. This way you can make that PC read/write a Mac OS X Extended formatted drive. Bonus is you can use that drive for a central iTunes Library that both machines can use.
