Weird Pop-up window asking for password.

I have an iPhone 3gs (I know, I know...I'll upgrade soon!) and lately a window pops up (constantly) that asks for my password for a Yahoo account that I don't recognize...am I being "hacked"? - or at least is someone trying?
Kind of freaking me out.

Hi...here's what the pop-up says...
Password Required
Enter the password for the CalDAV
account "Yahoo!"
I have no idea what CalDav means...or what it's for....I have no association with CalDAV - I can't seem to get rid of it. I have looked under all my settings and can't find anything with this name....

Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:

An old Apple ID keeps popping up and asking for password; how do I get rid of it?

Here is what I did to fix it on Win 7 64-bit system:
Computer > C: > Program Files
Delete the Oberon Games File
If you have a Program Files (x86), delete it there, too.
Reboot.

Hope I'm in the right place. First time user. Not tech savvy. Just upgraded to OSX Mavericks. Box keeps asking me to enter my iCloud password. I keep entering my password but box keeps popping back up asking for password?! I selected cancel but what

Hope I'm in the right place. First time user. Not tech savvy. Just upgraded to OSX Mavericks. Box keeps asking me to enter my iCloud password. I keep entering my password but box keeps popping back up asking for password?! I selected cancel but what should I do next time it asks for my iCloud password? Is my iCloud working? How do I retrieve my password?
Thanks

In the iCloud pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked Mail and check it again.

A pop up window asking for my password?

Ever since I changed the admistrators password, this stupid window keeps popping up.
I've searched everywhere and it's driving me crazy LOL All I do is cancel it (hit the red circle)but it keeps coming back.
any ideas?
It says that Safari is asking for the password...

This is in the Help section..and it isn't true. I never DID create a keychain password. And, it is NOT the same password as my login password. I've tried every password I've ever used, and NONE OF THEM WORK. This is really (oh, excuse me while I hit the cancel button twice) ARGH The only password I ever set was the adminstrator one. I used to set Screen Saver passwords on PC's with ease...the Mac password system is wayyy too complicated.
========================
You start with a single keychain, which is created automatically the first time you log in to your Mac OS X user account. Your default keychain has the same password as your login password. This keychain is unlocked automatically when you log in to Mac OS X and is referred to in Keychain Access menus as the "login" keychain.
You can create different keychains to store passwords for different purposes (for example, one for work and one for online shopping) or make a copy of a keychain so you can take it with you to other computers.
Keychains can be accessible to just a single user or sha

Terminal Window asking for password when opening

I don't know what happens but everytime I open a terminal window its ask me for password. If I type my admin password it starts saying that can't found my ~ directory and starts in :/ instead of :~
It is also showing ttys001 instead of 000 as usual.
I don't know what it is, I think it have some relation with closing terminal windows without logging out of a ssh section, but I don't know how to resolve it. I tried reboot, "exit", delete com.apple.terminal
Any sugestion?

This is just a wild guess, but might there be a "sudo" command in a file in your home directory that's run when you launch a Terminal session, such as .bash_profile, .bash_login, or .profile? (This list assumes that you're using bash as your shell.)

Date reset on macbook pro, 5 pop up windows asking for permission, worried.

I restarted by macbook pro this morning and was informed that the date had been reset to a date before Jan 1st 2008 (Sunday December 31, 2000) and I had five pop up windows appear asking for me to grant permission connections to these applications:
nmbd
mDNSResponder
cups-id
krb5kdc
configd
Has anyone had this happen to them? I'm not exactly sure what to do.

Should I worry about nmbd and krb5kdc?
Exactly the same thing has just happened to me... I restarted mac book pro, date was changed to 1 Jan 2008, and those 5 boxes popped asking for permission to connect.
I did the same as brogroove: reset the date but I also allowed those connections.
Everything works now but i am worried because "nmbd" and "krb5kdc" are listed as allowed connections in my firewall setting.
Are they dangerous or normal programmes?
They look out of place on the the allowed connections list as I easily recognise the other programmes eg. iTunes, Safari, etc.
Can I delete them from the allowed connections or should I leave them?

I deleted Yahoo acct- now Yahoo request box pops up constantly asking for password!?

I had trouble with someone hacking my Yahoo acct- since I haven't used it in years, I deleted it- NOW, every few minutes a box pops up (from Yahoo!) asking for my password. Is this Yahoo Sync? I don't have any Yahoo listed in Address book... I can't find any reference to Yahoo in the system. Where is this request coming from? How can I stop this madness? Thank you.

What is posting the dialog? Is it from your browser? Did you (once upon a time) install some yahoo software?
If it is your browser then look at your add-ons/extensions for anything "yahoo".
If it's something you installed, then look in your Accounts system preferences login items for any yahoo related app being specified to launch.
Similarly look in these other places:
~/Library/LaunchAgents (in your home directory, use Finder Go menu, Go To Folder)
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/StartupItems

"Mobile Me" CONSTANTLY popping up and asking for password

If I get one more "Mobile me can't verify your password, please go into mail settings and check to make sure your username and password are correct" pop up message, I am going to chuck this laptop out into the snow. Please help!
I have MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8. All my servers keep going offline. I am suddenly getting Mobile Me messages. I thought Mobile Me was switched over ages ago. I have multiple server names--some are imap, some are stmp--mac.com, me. com, mobile me.com, etc. etc. My email won't send and only sometimes receives.
1. what should the server I use be called? stmp.mac..com? stmp.icloud.com? imap something?
2. my mail account (when I go into mail preferences) is still "mobile me." Is that correct? Should it be icloud now?
I have looked through these discussions and tutorials but I cannot find/understand the information I need to solve my problem.
I am not tech savvy, so easy step-by-step help is appreciated very much!

My problem and phone is essentially the same (iPhone 4S 6.1.3) and my trouble began after trying to make an "in-app purchase" which did not work. I have tried doing several resets with no luck. Have you found any remedies?

I recently loaded OS 10.6.2. I can get on the internet but can't access email. I get a pop up that asks for my email passwd. I enter the passwd but it is rejected. My email provider checked everything from their end and said it was my software. Any ideas?

I recently installed 10.6.2, everything was fine for a few days. Last night I logged on to check email and got a new pop up window asking for my email account password. Its never came up before with the old OS or with the new OS prior to this point. I entered my password but it was rejected. After an 1 1/2 hours on the phone with my internet/email service provider it was determined that my password was good and the system was ok on their end. Access to the internet is not affected so I think its something wrong with the new OS. Any ideas?
thanks

ITune store keeps asking for password and will not download

Updated the iTune to the newest edition, 11.0.3.42. Now, when I try to purchase new videos or music, the itune store will repeatedly ask for password, even though I put the password in correctly, the box will pop up again asking for password as if I have not input the password at all. It will not finish the transaction or download. The only way I can purchanse anything is to sign out of iTune store, sign back it and make the purchase. Anyone else experience this problem?

I downloaded and installed iTunes and it seems to have fixed the problem:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
I should note that my problem was on Mac.

HT204053 A different ID appears in the window asking for pass word ,when I am updating free soft ware from app store. I have an apple I'd an able to sign in apple support, app store ,

I have an apple ID & able to acess apple login & support centre. Un able to update from app store, a different apple I'd appears in a window asking for password when updating, how can I correct this problem

If a different Apple ID displays when you try to update your app, that would indicate that the original app was purchased using another account. You cannot update apps that belong to somebody else.

IPhone 6Plus on every reboot after putting in my password it opens to a small window asking for apple id password

everything works on phone and wow it's big compared to my iPhone 5s. went with space grey since i have had 3 white phones in a row. restored via iCloud backup. updated iTunes as i have about 3,000 songs. 250 bought the rest ripped to AAC from my cc's....what a pain but switched from my windows desktop to this new rMBP late 2013 for xmas and iTunes is slightly different on a mac than windows and where everything is stored on drive.
anyhow problem is every time i reboot after putting in my password and arriving at whatever page i left at i get a very small window asking for my Apple id password. Now the top half is pre filled in with the email address i use for iCloud/itunes/apple/etc.
i did see in settings there is a checkmark i cannot remove that says for apple password "ask immediately" there are no other choices. it can't be unchecked by any method i found.
any help appreciated.

In case anyone else gets this I hit cancel once and it has never come back.
