Uninstalled chromium, tbird can't access my gmail any more. Reinstalled tbird, tells me 'username or password is incorrrect' when it is not.

Used tbird for my gmail for years with no problem. Uninstalled chromium browser and suddenly tbird was getting a 'connection refused' message. Tried everything. Completely uninstalled/reinstalled tbird. It made no difference. I get a username or password incorrect. (It's not). This sounds like the two factor authentification thing but I don't know how to fix it. I went all over gmail settings looking for the two factor auth thing and found '2 Step Verification' which is disabled. What happened and how do I get tbird back to working with my gmail accounts? ( I DON'T whant to reinstall chromium, thanks.)

Rebooted system (Linux Mint 14 - 64 bit) and tried tbird with nothing else started. It made no difference. Same error message when I try to set up the gmail account. "Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?". If I go to manual config for account setup I get the additional msg "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account." This sound like the symptom for the 2 factor auth failure in another question but there was nothing about how to fix it.
Can log on account readily using web interface. Anything I should try?

"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care, Sim not vaild?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

If you have 2-step verification set up for your gmail account, you will need to generate an application-specific password for your iphone applications (because those apps apparently don't support 2-step verification).
Go into your google account, look in accounts/security/2-step verification, there is a link called "Manage your application specific passwords" Use that to generate a special password for your iphone apps and use that instead of your usual gmail password on your phone.

Hi, Abolfazl1991,
You will need to contact Skype Customer Service in order to recover access to your account. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, next time you try again, use a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.
Regards,
Elaine

I suddenly cannot access my AOL E mail account via my iPhone. Has worked for ages. Now says username or passowrd is incorrect which it is not! Have reset the phone but still no joy. Any ideas........please! Martyn

Is there any chance your AOL account has been hacked? Check it to make sure your password is still what you think it is.
Also make sure caps lock isn't on when typing your password.

For gmail you could try unlocking your account here: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha. Don't know about hotmail.

Help please! I have just installed Snow Leopard and now I can't access my gmail account. I can complete the sign in boxes ok but the blue indicator bar freezes and prevents access to my emails.

I have just installed Snow Leopard, (10.6.3) onto my Macbook Pro and so far it seems to be working fine except that I can't access my gmail account. I can sign in but the blue opening indicator freezes near the end and I can get no further. I'm a bit of a novice at this stuff - help please!

I would run the combo update to get to 10.6.8 in order to get the latest security updates and so forth. Then run Software Update until you system is current.

I can't access my thunderbird gmx account because it won't accept my password

I can't access my thunderbird gmx account because it won't accept my password. This problem (I've been trying for a week now to find the solution) began when I used my laptop from a different location (that may or may not be relevant). My password is correct but I am simply told to retry it. So I can't access my gmx emails in Thunderbird. (I can access them by going to the gmx site but that is very laborious and not what I want to do.)

My iPod 5 will not sync ANY music. All my music was on prior to syncing. The sync deleted all my music. I can now no longer add any music. I have the "sync music" checked. Restoring factory settings did not work. Any thoughts?

When you synced with iTunes It would have tried to replace the music on the iPhone with what is on the computer. which is what happens when you sync with iTunes.
If the songs are purchased you can re-downloaded them Pretty easily. You mentioned that you still see the songs and that you could not play them. Do they have a Cloud symbol next to them? If so this means that you can download them but that they are not on the device.
