I am unable to change username and password for wifi network

unable to change username and password for wifi network

Thanks, this solved my problem. Network kept demanding username; I guess it's different from the computer ID I use. Whatever, it wasn't easy to find the network listed, but by trial and error, I found it, highlighted it, and pressed delete key. Now the network only asks for password, which I knew, and I'm on. Great advice. But why computer was configured to do that in the first place is why I prefer PC to my wife's inscrutable macbook pro.

unable to sync mail accounts to Outlook because email accounts are in use by iPhone. How to close mail account settings on iPhone.

I've rec'd a few errors related to syncing Mail, but none have had this specific wording. If you haven't already, try quitting Mail before syncing. Also, make sure that you're not in your Settings areas on the iPhone before syncing. Hope this helps!

I've changed the account password...

I've changed the account password and now the system ask me to confirm the CC number again.
I've already done this when I've installed itunes on a new PC and i've been charged 1.98 euro.
I'll be charged again? (and this will be the third time...)
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Paolo

Thank you for your answer.
The first time I was charged 2 days ago when I registred my iPhone, and the second one 1 day ago when I installed iTunes on my new PC.
I'll wait some days to check again...

POP E-mail account password

My POP mail account is not working. I've had this computer a long time and I intend to get a new one
because it's so out of date but in the mean time I need to get this problem fixed. The problem is with the
password. I NEVER had to type it in. It was always in there in mail preferences/accounts (all in asterisks*****)
For reasons I can't figure out, the password is no longer there. In keychain access there is no
indication of any mail account and password.When I click on "get mail" I get a prompt that asks for
a password. I have no idea what it is! My e-mail server is Time Warner Cable. They have no idea
what I'm talking about. I opened a g mail account just so I can do some e-mailing but I hate the format
and I want to continue to send and receive e-mails at my POP account and Time Warner e-mail address
as I have many business cards with that address on it. How can I fix the Pop e-mail account password
problem? Should I contact Apple and pay to ask them a question? I'm really perplexed. Even though
"mail" is not in my keychain access list, I tried to look at other passwords for other things and a prompt
asks me for a "keychain access password". I never had one! But that's a different issue. For now I'll settle for
a solution to my POP password problem.

Thank u for your suggestions. I'm the only one who uses this computer but I do have another mail account with g-mail which I only opened after the POP account failed. I repaired the keychain access to no avail but it did say that there was "no problem" with the chain. I reset the chain and I still can't send or receive e-mails from my POP account. I called Time Warner cable and they said they thought there could be a problem on their end and they
were checking it out. But the problem remains that even if they fix the problem that is rejecting my e-mail password, I now have no e-mail password to type in. It used to be saved in Preferences and now it's no longer there. If I can't retrieve the password from somewhere (it's not on my keychain access list) I don't know how to get the password or create a new one. As a result of resetting the keychain I now have a keychain access password. But there's no POP account or any mail app in the keychain list to use it with.

Mail is asking for all my mail account passwords. They should all be in my keychain. Any suggestions?

Hi ...
50 ??
Open Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities
From the Keychain Access menu bar top of your screen click Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid
Click Verify > Start. if necessary click Repair.
You may need to enter your admin password to proceed.
And, from the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information
Go through each mail account to make sure the password is typed in on the right.

I have forgotten my Mail account password on my MacBook Pro. How can I learn what it is?

Accidentally posted it twice; first time user!
The password it prompts for is the third password line in a box under 1) my name and 2) my me.com email address. I assume it is the password I set up back in 2009 when I bought my MacBook Pro. However, I have since fogotten it, and it doesn't give you an opportunity to "remember" it.
Thank you!
Glenn posted the method, try it.

I need help with my mac mail account password!

okay. so i came home one day after work, and i went to check my mail. there is a squiggly line next to my inbox. i tried to send a message, and a box popped up asking for my account password. now i only use two passwords - one is a word with numbers, and the other is just a word. i entered both, and was told they were incorrect. i'm stumped. am i going to have to start a new account? is there a way to change the password and still get my mail? would someone please help me out? thanks in advance to anyone who does.

Well, then maybe Mail is corrupted, so let's try to fix that. You'll need:
1. your Mac OS X installation disc.
2. a copy of Pacifist.
3. confidence and patience.
First, quit Mail, go to Users/your username/Library/ and copy the Mail folder to your Desktop; then download Pacifist using the link above.
Next, insert your Mac OS X installation disc, open it with Pacifist and browse the contents of the Optional Installs folder until you find the installer package for Mail, then open that Mail package.
Select the top-level of that package in the Pacifist file listing and click on the Extract button in Pacifist and choose your Desktop for the destination. When that is finished, move the newly extracted copy of Mail to your HD/Applications folder. Choose "Replace" when it tells you there's already a newer or older file there with the same name.
Quit Pacifist, open System Preferences and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions; then quit System Preferences, logout and log back in, then try starting Mail and see if that resolves your problem.

6280 Using IMAP4 to access e-mail account password...

I have a nokia 6280 which at the moment works for internet browsing etc, I have entered the settings for IMAP to enable me to recieve send e-mail from my personal e-mail account(tiscali).When I try to retrieve my e-mails the phone shows connecting followed by an error message saying password incorrect? The password that I entered in the phone settings it the same one that I use when accessing my tiscali e-mail account. Any ideas?

This doesn't work- the Account pane simply has a Manage button that disappears when I click it- nothing actually happens. If I View Source, I can see 85 occurrences of the word "password", including where the text is *supposed* to be, but CSS errors or some formatting errors are preventing it from being displayed.
This has been going on for several days, and is across multiple browsers (including Chrome and Firefox).
I have checked with 3 different Pwned sites (from Forbes article) that all indicate this address was compromised late last year, possibly due to Heartbleed or other bug. I need to get the password changed, but your system is preventing me from doing it. I have checked also the parent account (which I also control), but cannot get this changed.
I have noticed all around really flakey behavior on the account pages- they are just poorly done. They give errors, "can't do that right now" sorts of errors- really unacceptable stuff, and this isn't by far the first time I have had issues in the account administration.
I've attached a screen snip. The grey "Manage" button disappeared when I clicked it. This is what I get- nothing.
Thanks,
Jeff

Changed mail account on gmail and can't get my mail account activated anymore on my bb

Hi,
Close to getting grey hairs now ...
I have a BB Curve 8520 ... and I'm using my gmail account as mail on my bb - today i changed my gmail password though and can't get any more messages into my gmail account any longer now (WTF did i change my password for ???). I tried to add my gmail account as my bb says that an email address does not currently exists for my bb device ... so when i try to add my gmail account and select 'gmail' in my email setup, add my email address and password it says ! Update failed ...
Anyone any solutions to this problem pls ...
Facebook, internet, BBM .. still working ..
thx a lot in advance !

If you select a mailbox, you should get an Edit button (easier to see in landscape mode). Clicking the button will provide you with check circles for the messages. You also get Delete and Move buttons at the bottom. Check the messages you want to move and then navigate to the mailbox you want to drop them into. I think as long as you can navigate to a mailbox you can move the messages to it.
In the Mac Mail application and probably Outlook on the Windows side, you also setup rules to move messages to specific mailboxes. If the mailboxes are stored on the server, then you can have the sorting done on the server and they should appear that way on the iPad. If your later messages do not show up, you may need to have the iPad app pulled down more messages until they are all showing.

Mail Account Password

How do you assign a new password to an existing mail account?

First you have to change that password with your email provider. This has nothing to do with Mail or any other email client you may be using. Once you've changed the password with the provider, in Mail go to preferences->accounts, select your account and enter the new password.

Unable to change Active Directory password on OSX

I'm working IT in a Windows environment with Active Directory services. We have some Macs in the environment, mostly running 10.8, but all definitely running 10.6.8 or later.
The issue lies with changing passwords. When a user attempts to change his password in the Users & Groups pane of System Prefs, it will throw an error about either complexity, systems admin permission, or some other issue. THESE PASSWORDS DO MEET ALL COMPLEXITY REQUIREMENTS AND THEY ARE ALLOWED TO CHANGE THEIR OWN PASSWORDS.
I obviously need to look further into the user accounts but for the most part they are mobile accounts and the machine is on the domain before the specific user account is ever created. Also Keychain access is set to sync with account.
The only solution I've been able to come up with is to reset the users password back to their old password through AD.
I don't even know where to begin to resolve this issue, the ideal solution is that a user can change their password in OSX and have it populate across the domain just like it does on Windows.
Help!!!
Thanks for your time.
