Why am I asked for my password when email is checked?

every so often my email program asks me for the password. why is this happening? heres what the message looks like:
thanks.

Aside from what the above poster says, there are sometimes local issues with Mail and Keychain. See my post

  • Why am I asked for a password when trying to use about;config, where is the password set and can I change/delete this?

    I tried to use about:config, but I was asked for a password. I don't remember entering a password and have never used the master password function. Where has this come from, and how can I change the password or get rid of the need for a password?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • MotionX GPS App not working! Why does it ask for a password when I have no created one?

    I'm reporting a problem with MotionX GPS. See title

    You're tapping the blue button to the right of the network name. Don't, tap anywhere else in the network name.  (That's my guess)

  • I am no longer being asked for a password when downloading an app, big problem with kids

    I am no longer being asked for a password when downloading an app or music in iTunes, big problem with kids. How do I enable

    To elaborate further, in those restrictions you can specify exactly what types of actions you would like to restrict.
    I think you'll find this accomplishes your objective.

  • HT201269 everytime i want to restore my previews backup to my new iphone, itunes asks for my password, when i enter my password it tells me my password is incorect, but its not!

    everytime i want to restore my previews backup to my new iphone, itunes asks for my password, when i enter my password it tells me my password is incorrect, but its not! i have even changed my password. but still nothing! I get the same error from itunes!!!!

    Try using your computer password. I tried any password I could think of relating to my phones, but it was none of them; it was, in fact, my computer password.

  • IBook no longer asking for a password when waking from sleep or screensaver

    My iBook was fine until I installed the Security Update 2006-002 via software update. After the "required" reboot (reboot #1) everything functioned as normal.
    On a subsequent reboot (#2) and several other reboots trying to correct the problem (#3-#5) I've found that my iBook no longer asks for a password when coming out of the screensaver, or when waking from sleep.
    Yes, I have checked the security pref panel every time and have ensured the checkbox is checked. I even Sudo'd the panel just to be sure.
    I downloaded the aforementioned security update and re-applied it. It corrected the problem during the same "required" reboot (#1), but after rebooting the computer a 2nd and 3rd time the problem has came up again.
    I wish my iBook wasn't sick! Thanks, I tried searching as best as I could to see if this is a repost.

    I don't have a specific fix but this generalized fix seems to take care of most problems for me. Download Cocktail, Onyx or MainMenu then run Rebuild Launch Services database, the maintenance (cron) scripts, clean all caches then Repair Permissions and restart.
    To test it don't keep restarting, that's extra wear and tear on the computer, just put it to sleep and wake it or log out then back in.
    If that doesn't work get Disk Warrior and rebuild the directory.
    And if that doesn't work do an archive and install then one big upgrade.
    But don't go past running one of those three utilities until you see if someone has a better fix for you. It might be as simple as trashing a preferences file.

    My mac keeps asking for a password when I try to install adobe flash player. Even with the hint I'm not getting it and also tried uninstall and the same thing occurred.

    It's referring to the MAC password that you have setup.
    A software prompts for a password only when there are restrictions set on the user account for unauthorised access to system files and folders.

  • My MacBook Pro is asking for a password, when trying to play DVD. Anybody experienced that before.

    One of user's MacBook Pro is asking for a password, when trying to play DVD. Anybody experienced that before?
    Maybe the DVD itself is password protected, the user is travelling abroad.
    Thank you in advance

    Hi m,
    My guess is the DVD is from another region than the one the optical drive is set to. Region changes are limited to 5 total, so it asks for the admin password to make sure you want to do it/allow it. After #5, the drive is locked to that region forever.

  • HT1349 Why does iPhone ask for apple password after rebooting?

    Why does iPhone ask for apple password after rebooting? It just started to do that recently. I've had iPhone5 for several months now and it just started to do that.
    Before I could reboot without having to type apple ID password to start using my phone.

    Could be part of Apple's new security procedures that were implemented this past week.

  • I get asked for a password when i did not yet set one (after a system reset for the same problem)

    I am getting asked for a password when i have yet to set one.  I have already done a reset and am still getting prompted for a password, which I do not know.

    If you can't remember the Restrictions passcode you have to either:
    - Restore the iPod from a backup that does not have the passcode, or
    - Restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod.

  • TS3899 Why am I asked for my password every time I want to access my e mail accounts on iPhone 4s

  • Cant receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when I respond same message- password

    Suddenly can't receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when i
    put it in,same message flashes up, reset does not work, also waiting for apple time lapse, still does not want to give me my yahoo mail on this format, tried talking to apple online contact, cut off, I'm receiving through safari, nothing through my email app

    Give it time. Yahoo has been doing things to their servers that often muck up the Mail app. Usually it takes 24-48 hours to run its course then it'll work again.
    if it doesn't clear up by the end of the weekend, you can remove and readd your account, but chances are it'll just start to work.

  • HT4059 Why am I asked for my password each time I open iBook?  Started a week or two ago. 4th gen iPad with iOS 6.1.3. And iBooks 3.1.

    Why am I asked for my password each time I open iBook?  Started a week or two ago. 4th gen iPad with iOS 6.1.3. And iBooks 3.1.

    Take it back to Best Buy and talk to the store manager. Possibly they can work something out with Apple.
    In the meantime, try this  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
