Why does my password stop working on the yahoo site

My mail button pulls up my Yahoo mail account; however, the password will work for 1-2 days and then stops.  It will then resume functioning several days later.  I can still access my Yahoo mail account via the web, using that same password without problem.  It appears there may be an issue with my Mac Air. Thoughts?

Hello, experimentum.  
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
This could be an issue with 2-Step verification being enabled through Gmail.  Here are a couple articles that may help with this issue.  If the issue persists, I would recommend reaching out to Gmail.com to verify if this feature is enabled.

  • HT5622 Why does my password stop working for my Apple ID?

    I have been having an issue where updates have come up for my apps and i have entered my password for my Apple ID anmd it says that my password is invalid and i have to go and change my password. Has anyone else had this issue or has someone got a solution?

    Did you download the apps requiring updates using a different Apple ID from the one you are using now?    That would explain your situation exactly.

  • Why does my trackpad stop working, the batteries are fine.

    Why does my trackpad stop working, the batteries are fine.

    Try expanding your question a little bit.... how is it not working? Just saying it "stopped working" isn't really saying much.
    Like does it work sometimes and it intermittendly stops? Is the light on the power button not on?
    Does it sometimes not click things? (always remember the actual trackpad buttons are actually on the buttom of the trackpad so you have to give a decent click on the pad to make it work)

  • Why does my MacBook stop working when I tr to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing?

    Why does my MacBook stop working when I try to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing? This is the second time I have had it happen to my MacBook. The computer just shuts down and cannot be restarted. When I plug it into the charger I get a faint Green light where it plugs into the MacBook. When I took the computer into my local Mac store last time this happened (Nov 2012) they reckoned they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Has any body else encountered a similar issue?

    That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

  • Why does AirPort Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?

    Why does Airport Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?  The USB drive has its own power supply.  I've tried isolating the hard drive from Airport using a powered USB hub to no avail.

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive. Another way of saying the same thing is that this is not a high power USB port, like you would find on a computer.
    Your 2TB drive likely requires a bit more current than the USB port on the AirPort Extreme can supply. It is also possible that the drive's firmware may not support a network USB connection....only a "local" connection to a computer. Check with Seagate support on that possibility.
    Try using a powered USB hub with the 2TB drive....and make sure that the drive is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32....which the AirPort Extreme USB port can accept.

  • Why does my sound stop working

    Why does my sound stop working when listening to music or watching videos? I have to cut my phone off and then back on for it to start working again. Its happening more and more often.

  • While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

  • Why does iPad audio stop working?

    That's just it. With nothing running, the iPad audio stops working.  All app runs, but nothing comes out of the speaker. 
    It's so bad I had to stop using the iPad as my alarm clock and calendar since it's gone mute.  It has gotten progressively worse, but as I keep it updated I don't know if it is a progressive hardware failure or the new iOS updates. I went and removed almost all the apps, even did a factory reset thinking it was a memory issue...nope.  Even if all I run during the day is the built-in calendar, notes, and clock, or on some days, absolutely nothing, the audio still randomly stops.
    Guess it's time for a new tablet? My experience with support and this tablet in particular will weigh very heavily in my decision making though.  

    When audio stops working from the speakers do earphones still work?

  • Why does Acrobat just stop working?

    Installed CD6.  Everything works/opens just fine.  Then all of a sudden Acrobat stops working.  Illustrator and Photoshop are fine.  Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and everything worked fine for numerous uses.  Then Acrobat stopped working - in the middle of a PDF and it just "disappear" and Acrobat will no longer open.  This time I uninstalled, used Adobe CleanUp Tool and reinstalled.  Works just fine now....but I am concened that Acrobat will stop working again.  Has this happened to other users?  Operating system is Windows 7.

  • Why Does My Camera Stop Recording in the Middle of a Video??

    Why does my Rebel T3i stop recording in the middle of me video taping?? Is it because I do not have enough space on my camera for a video? It lets me take plenty more pictures. And when it stops in the middle of a recording, I start recording again, and it works for a little while then stops again! I really don't get it. It is extremely frustrating because I am left with all these chopped up video segments and I completely miss something that my baby is doing (the reason I started taping in the first place!) I am begining to wonder if I should just invest in a video camera instead of taping with my camera. I would REALLY prefer not to, seeing as how I spent a fortune on it, and would like it to do what it is intended to do! Can someone please help?? 

    The camera formats the memory card using the "FAT32" filesystem rather than a proprietary filesystem.  This allows the card to be read by nearly any computer (Windows, Mac, etc.)  
    HOWEVER... there's a limitation in that filesystem that no single file can grow above a specific size.  That size is 4GB.
    Also, the camera documentation describes that the camera will stop just 1 second short of the 30 minute mark regardless of the file size.  
    In pro video, movies are normally constructed by bringing together many very short clips.  The one-long-continuous-take video style isn't used.  If you are attempting to record a long event in one-long-continuous-take then it would be better to use a video camera for the task.

  • Why does my claw stop working?

    The tracking motions: ie claw, three finger, two finger swipes all stop working on their own. Why does this happen and what can I do to make sure it doesn't just go away in the future. Am I hitting something on the keyboard that I am not supposed to?

    go into System Preferences and check the settings for the trackpad and mouse and see if the gestures have been disabled.

  • Why does my touchscreen stop working?

    I have an all-in-one computer (HP Pavilion 23-h017c TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop PC (ENERGY STAR) )that I purchased just about a month ago.  I have noticed that every other day my touchscreen stops working all together, nothing I do will fix it.  Finally I just shut my computer down, waited a sec, and turned it back on.  Once I did that my touchscreen started working just fine. If I just restart the computer my touchscreen still doesn't work - I have to shut it down.
    My question is: Why does it stop working all of a sudden? This is driving me mad, I've never shut my computer down so many times before!!

    I had the exact same problem. I had my HP Pavillion for less than a month when the screen stopped working all together. At first the screen would just shut off or not turn on when I tried to power up my laptop. It eventually stopped working all together. I had to wait 30 minutes on the phone for a customer service rep to tell me "press the power button" over and over again. Then I had to wait four days for HP to send me a box and then a week for HP to receive my laptop. I just found out after waiting on the phone for 45 minutes that it will take another month to receive my laptop. HP should recall HP Pavillions. They suck! The worst part of my customer service experience is they said they might not even send me anoher  Pavillion. Apparently they are going to send me whatever is in their stock that has the same specifications as the Pavillion. I can honestly say the BIGGEST MISTAKE I ever made in my life was buying an HP product. HP SHOULD SERIOUSLY RECALL HP PAVILLIONS. Clearly they aren't working properly. No laptop should crap out after less than a month of use.
