I enter my password and attempt to download current email and nothing happens. When I go back to check password it shows dots all the way across the window.I havw used the phone for nearly a year and suddenly this happens. I have a Galaxy Note 2

Hi OGELTHORPE,
I started having the issue again of the desktop image not being the same and switching from my personal image to default image when waking up from sleep. I followed your instructions and when I verified disk permissions on the Macintosh HD it showed a bunch of files all related to permissions differining with iTunes. I went ahead and fixed them.
Verifying the disk said:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking file systemPerforming live verification.
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking extents overflow file.
Checking catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking catalog hierarchy.
Checking extended attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.
When I verify the 750.16 GB APPLE HDD H... it shows this:
Verifying partition map for “APPLE HDD HTS547575A9E384 Media”
Checking prerequisites
Checking the partition list
Checking for an EFI system partition
Checking the EFI system partition’s size
Checking the EFI system partition’s file system
Checking all HFS data partition loader spaces
Checking Core Storage Physical Volume partitions
The partition map appears to be OK
I then followed your link and got to the part where it said to delete:
com.apple.desktop.plist (corrupted/not working desktop picture changes)
At first this seemed to fix the situation as I logged back in when waking from sleep. However, today it started happening again where instead of my saved image on the desktop it showed the default. Do you have any ideas of why this might be happening? Does this mean I just have to keep deleting the com.apple.desktop.plist file from now on whenever the issue comes up, or is there a more permanent solution?
Thanks again for your help!

Why does my email password keep having to be renewed?

this is the second time recently that my email to the BB has been stopped because I need to change my email password. Why does this keep happening? I have changed nothing in my cox.net email account. You are doing something. I can't find a phone number to call you. I can't get my password updated. This is a lousy, unreliable sevice.
EDIT: Removed personal information

Change the password for your account and contact iTunes
Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
Also log into your account on your computer and look at your Purchase History. Look for purchases you did not make

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

Why does imail on my iMac keep asking for passwords, that when I enter the correct one it does not recognise, but Yahoo does, its driving me nuts!!!!

What is going on at Apple, mail keeps asking for a password, that when I enter, it ignores, my imac is telling me it cannot talk to the Yahoo server, but I can get through every time on Safari. This is driving me nuts!!!

you are lucky i will say,
i got problems with email, update,id,keyboard mistyping, wifi, they said they will send me one they never did, and don't reply anymore, after 55 days witha 3 years warranty. good luck. i swear it is true.

Why does my iphone 3gs always load newstand when i try to enter the app store

Hi DashyEdge,
When you say you "changed my apple id", does that mean you renamed it to your new email address?
See "How to change the name you use for your Apple ID"
That is what you want to do so you still only have one Apple ID and it now has the new name and email.
It sounds like you may have created a new Apple ID instead and started purchasing stuff with that. Just because an old email address expires, doesn't mean the Apple ID it is based on goes away. Apple IDs can't be deleted. The only way for them to change is to rename them to a new "ID" (name/email).
It is best to stay with only one Apple ID for purchases. As you are seeing, Apps need to be updated with the ID they were purchased with. If you don't have many purchases with your new Apple ID, you might want to rename it to something else so you can rename your old ID to this new name (email). Then stick with your old, but renamed ID.
You don't remember the password for your old Apple ID? Can you access your old Apple ID using the security questions instead of the email verification?

When trying to send a photo from iPhotos, I accidentally entered the wrong password. It tells me that it doesn't recognize my password, but doesn't enable me to re-submit the correct one. What should I do?

I'm trying to send a photo from iphoto - but apparently I entered the wrong password, and now it does not give me the opportunity to resubmit my correct password - it only tells me that mine was wrong and will allow me to cancel but not correct. I tried to cancel and start over but it still doe not let me re-enter my password. Is there some "command" that will help me?

iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.

My cursor frequently stops working. It still moves but nothing happens when I click with it. Also, when I go for support Apple tells me my serial number does not exist but I am sure I am entering the correct one.

My arrow cursor changes unexpectedly to the "tall I" cursor and then I can't open links.
My two delete buttons only work one letter/number at a time.
When I go for Apple support it says my serial number does not exist? But I know it is correct!

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Email-Marketing/EBlast.html
This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

Why are my song ratings getting randomized with each sync instead of saving the correct ones from the device I latest changed on to the other (PC iPod)

Simple thing. Would be very useful to use.
I listen to any songs, mark their ratings with what I think.
Then the moment I sync my iPod to iTunes (windows 7) All the ratings are getting just randomized. Most of them gets deleted, others get changed to ones I surely didn't touch.
No matter wich device I set them on.
I tried to do on iPod then sync to PC -> gone random
I tried to rate in iTunes then sync to iPod -> gone again.
I did separately the same ratings on my iPod and iTunes, then synced -> RATINGS GONE!
Fix this issue please. It has absolutely no use at the moment.
Cheers.

Your Comcast accounts are POP (unless you enrolled in the Comcat Beta test of Imap) so they won't sync at all. Either enroll in the Beta test or don't use Comcast.
Your iCloud account is Imap and should sync just fine, unless you have set it up incorrectly.

Iphone 5 won't connect to any service requiring a password even though I enter the correct ones.

Any ideas?

It did, I took it off but that still doesn't help. I try signing into Yahoo, DirectTV and it seems like the password is not being sent; I just get the sign-in page again with the password blank. Thanks.

If you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it instead of the login password you use on the website.

Sky email is provided by Google now. Have you tried logging in via webmail on a desktop computer? Occasionally Google asks you to verify your account by entering a CAPTCHA which can't be done in a dedicated email client.
If that doesn't help, try removing and then re-setting up the account, following the directions here:

this question is extremely broad. can you describe what you mean? where does the password show up? in the signature line? as the subject? in the body? and what internet password? your home provider? your cell provider? what's the password for? your email account? or is your phone password protected? details.

Every time I try to set up icloud i get a message that my account is not verified and I will get an email about how to verify it. I never get the email. I have reset my password 4 times. My email address is good. My apple id works everywhere it should. For some reason my ipad will find my ipad but not my iphone, and my iphone will find my ipad. I cant change the setting on my iphone so the ipad can find it, because it is greyed out because icloud will not verify my email and password, and never sends me the email to verify it. Am I the only one with this problem?

I got a reply from the chairmans office
I’ve spoken with BT
Wholesale again today and I’m waiting on a report coming in from the Chief
Engineers Office.
What I’ve
been doing
I’ve also gone
through all the history available of the work that has been done on your line
and can confirm the following:
Your line is
all copper and is on the best E and D side cables available.
We have changed
the network equipment in the exchange on multiple occasions.
And it doesn’t
look like there is any more physical work can be carried out.
The report I’m
waiting for from BT Wholesale is about a known issue that we have had with
certain exchange equipment which is used to make the phone ring when it is
being called and causing the broadband connections to drop, I need this to
confirm if your line is affected by this specific issue.
I think you
have spoke with Donal earlier today and discussed the option of moving onto an
8meg service instead of the upto 20meg, and you told him this has been tried
before and did not work, can you remember roughly when this was so I can check
it with BT Wholesale?
What happens
next
There is still
an engineer on his way out to you tomorrow between 1pm and 6pm. I’m not sure
what this engineer will be able to do given that we have had it confirmed that
you are already on the best lines available but we will see how he gets on and
take it from there. (Might get a nice surprise!)
I’ll give you a
call tomorrow to confirm the update from the chief engineers office and also
see if the engineer has been out on site with you.
Best Wishes
Chris
My reply
Hi,
Thanks for the reply, some of the information in your email isn’t correct.
The D-side is only the “best lines available” because it’s the only one available!
I had the BB disconnecting when the phone rang, long before going on the new equipment.
They have exchanged the network equipment on “multiple occasions”, even though I told them not to bother because I knew it would make no difference.
The facts are:
NO WORK has been done on my D-side (apart from the connections directly outside my property)
Many people that have had the same fault have told me it turned out to be the D-side
I was told by a BT Openreach engineer that they would not do any work on my D-side because part of it was aluminium. But this now turns out not to be true, so I have no idea why they will not do any work on my D-side.
At the cab, the broadband is the correct speed and works fine.
My caller display, often doesn't work. I think this is the same line fault that causes this.
A leakage to earth was detected on my line, but was never fixed.
My phone often rings 2 or 3 times, when I finish a call. I think this is the same line fault that causes this.
When the BB speed goes up, the router records a huge amount of errors.
A few years ago my BB failed altogether, it turned out to be the connection outside my property. The connection was green and in bad condition. There are loads more of these connections between my house and the cab, they will be just as old or older.
A BT engineers test equipment detected a change in resistance somewhere on my D-side, I haven’t heard if that was ever looked into.
Every piece of evidence points at a bad connection on my D-side, so you can see why I will not rest until I know that all the connections have been replaced. BT wholesales answer of “that there is nothing wrong with your line” just isn’t good enough because the fault still exists.
