Why do I keep getting message to enter iCloud password?

Whenever I quit Mail and then reopen it, I get a drop-down message: "Mail can't connect to the iCloud account 'xxxx@mecom'. Enter password for user 'xxxx'." I enter my password, and all is well. Looking at Mail>System Preferences>Internet accounts>iCloud>Mail is checked. Looking at OS System Preferences>iCloud, my Apple ID is ok, Name is ok, Description is ok (iCloud). This problem started 2 days ago. What am I missing? Why isn't my Password being retained?

same thing started happening to me today. I never actually use it, but I keep connected just in case i need it. Could be a keychain prob with mav. Noticed my apple login key is in there twice, but only one has a cert. I think the cert is for my Itunes tho.

  • Why do I keep getting messages that Firefox has a serious virus and I can't bring up icon to check them.

    Why do I keep getting messages from Vista saying Firefox has a serious virus? Also I can't bring up the icon to let me do the scan.

    You should never respond to such messages as they are only scams to get you to buy their software.<br />
    If you install that software and "let it scan" then you will most likely get infected with malware.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • I am on a wireless network.  Why do I keep getting messages from iTunes stating that I am not?

    I am on a wireless network and keep getting messages from ITunes stating that I am not on a wireless network.  I know the wireless is working.  Itunes will not allow me to rent a movie until i get on the wireless network of which I am already on.  Help.

    I just bought two song without problem, then i tried to get the video of the week (free) in canada and I had the same message as you.
    the video is just over 50 MB, which is the new limit for file size for App on IOS over 3G and LTE.
    I tried on my iPhone same thing. I even put it in the Airplane mode, and then activeated the WiFi
    with the same result.
    I then bought another song, smaller than 50 MB and it worked.
    My video is not listed as Bought, and it is not available in the "Check for available downoload"
    Did any of you had tried to buy something under the size of 50 MB ?
    Try the free song to see if is it seize related.

  • Why do i keep getting "Message Send Failure" every time I send pictures on iMessage? All are sent to other iPhone/iPad users.

    For a few months now, I've been getting "Message Send Failure" every time I send pictures to other Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, Macs), despite the recipient receiving them. So, even though the pictures are going through, the "Message Send Failure" notice keeps showing up. I checked with other people who have Apple devices and they also encountered the same issue whenever they send pictures (usually send an email to make sure it was received).  I thought when iOS 7.1.1 came out that it would fix this issue. Has anyone else encountered the same issue? Thanks!

    I started getting the error on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.x) several weeks ago - if not a month ago. Today I finally decided to run through a wholesale sign-out/sign-in process on all my devices (iMac, MacBook, iPad 1, iPad 3 and iPhone5) and it worked!
    I signed out of iMessage/Messages on all devices. I also deleted my iCloud accounts on all my devices (make sure you tell the software to keep local copies when you are prompted - relax, it all stays in the cloud, too) Then I signed back in to iMessage/Messages and then re-added iCloud accounts all around. I just sent a message with a photo attachment and did not get the "Not Delivered" message - yay!
    (FYI - even though I received the error every time I sent a message with an image attachment, the message still went through - very, very happy, though to finally get rid of the message...)

    Hi Sam From ME,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would suggest restarting your iPhone and seeing if the issue continues, and if it does, try resetting your iPhone as well:

Even though I have an extrav10gb memory, it would not let me take photos. Inpurchased another 20 gb &amp; it still says I do not have enough memory. What do I need to do? Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

    It may help to remove old stored passwords so Thunderbird can't try to use them.

  • After the latest iTunes update, why does it keep asking me to enter my password to check for downloads?

    After the latest iTunes upgrade, every time you open up iTunes, a window pops up asking you to sign in with your Apple ID to check for available downloads?  Why is it asking this if your account is already stored on the computer?  How do you stop this from asking each time?  Thanks.

  • Since updating to ios7 i keep getting requests to enter my password for yahoo mail, my email account, and the itunes account details too. The email is connected though and i have no problem receiving new emails. Any ideas ?

    ...I am also concerned as I found an email in my sent items today to someone i have never heard of before....saying hello. I suspect this might mean the problem is the yahoo account maybe hacked but I have no idea....thanks, Stewart

    It sounds as if your account has been compromised. I would recommend logging into those accounts from your computer and their websites and changing your password.

  • I keep getting message that not connected to Internet when trying to access an so site such as amazon, when I can still access other areas of Internet such as banking

    Why do I keep getting message that not connected to Internet when trying to access amazon yet am very obviously am still connected as can access the apple site or banking sites. Have tried resetting.

    I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

  • HT1539 Why Do I keep getting an error message telling me "Code redemption is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." whenever I try to redeem my digital copy code for "Oz The Great and Powerful"?

    Why Do I keep getting an error message telling me "Code redemption is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." whenever I try to redeem my digital copy code for "Oz The Great and Powerful"?

    I had the same problem so I decided to try going to website on the back. (DisneyOzMovieandOffers.com). It will take you to a page that says to redeem code, enter the code that is given to you and click enter. It will give you options of where you would like to download it from. Click iTunes and it will give you the correct code to download the movie from iTunes.
