Why does my phone keep asking me to "enter password"?

Hi
I went to set up my email on my iphone 5, like I already know how to do. I put in my username and password. Went ot the inbox and it was all blank. I went back to settings and since then the following message keeps popping up, literally every few second, "Password Required: Enter the passrod for the account 'Yahoo!'".
What the heck is the deal? I know my password and I am 100% positive I input it correctly.
At one point I even got a "server unavailible" message.
What should I do?
Thanks,
CorpRadar

You might want to try deleting the account, then signing back in. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone and provide the password when prompted. Then sign back in. (This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your phone, not from iCloud. Your data will reappear on your phone when you sign back in.)

Exchange password, what is it and why does my phone keep asking for it?

For the last two days, my phone periodically wants me to enter an exchange password. This is the first I ever heard of it so can't figure out what it is.n I though exchange was a Microsoft product so what's it doing on my Apple iPhone. I just upgraded the 3GS phone to iCloud.

make sure you don't have 2 step verification in gmail.
otherwise you need to follow
Signing in using application-specific passwords
The codes that you’ll get with 2-step verification don’t work with all applications. There are a few applications that use information from your Google Account (like the Gmail application on your phone, or Outlook) that require another type of code. These are called application-specific passwords.
Some devices and applications that use these special passwords include:
POP and IMAP email clients such as Outlook, Mail and Thunderbird
Gmail and Google Calendar on smartphones
ActiveSync for Windows Mobile and iPhone
YouTube Mobile on Apple devices
Cloud Print
Installed chat clients such as Google Talk and Adium
3D Warehouse, Sketchup, and installed applications
AdWords Editor
Sync for Google Chrome
Gmail Notifier
How to generate an application-specific password
Unlike a verification code that you receive from your phone or through Google Authenticator, application-specific passwords are generated. You don’t have to memorize them, ever - you simply generate a new one each time you need to sign into a particular application. Follow the steps below to generate your application-specific password:
Visit the Authorizing applications & sites page (pictured below) under your Google Account settings.
Under the Application-specific passwords section, enter a descriptive name for the application (label 1) you want to authorize, such as "AdWords Editor – Desktop," then click “Generate application-specific password" (label 2).
You'll then see the application-specific password you just created (3). You'll also see the name you wrote in for the device (4) and a link to Revoke (5) -- or cancel -- the code.
Once you click Done, you’ll never see that application-specific code again. But don't panic: You can generate a new one whenever you’re prompted for an application-specific password by a non-browser device or application -- even a device or application you’ve authorized before.
Using application-specific passwords
When prompted for a password when you sign in to a non-browser application or device that accesses your Google Account:
Enter your username.
Enter your application-specific password in the password field.
If your application has an option to remember your application-specific password or stay signed in, you can select that option so you won’t have to generate and enter a new application-specific password each time you access your account from this application or device.

Why does my iTunes keep asking me for my password?

I have just recently updated to 11.2.2, and since then, whenever I try to view my wishlist, or any other personal information, itunes will ask me to sign in. I do, but then it keeps asking me. How do I fix this?

Hey Shiukian,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like the issue you are having needs this artcle if it is asking to authorize.

HT5868 why does my iphone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer?

Why does my iPhone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer? I plug my iPhone 4s into the computer and every time I tell it to trust this computer, but a hour later if I plug in again, I have to say trust again... bug? Setting issue? Help?

http://helpios7.com/trust-this-computer-pop-up-fix/
This helped me. Fix #1 is something Apple doesn't ever suggest to you.
My specific problem was somehow my Apple Mobile Device USB Driver got turned off and moved and maybe even uninstalled, but after hours of struggling, this site helped tremendously.
Furthermore, I could connect my iPhone to my computer but not into iTunes. It would only let me go to access pictures on my iPhone and that's all.
Best of luck to anyone trying to figure out their problem.

Why does mac os keep asking for keychain password

why does mac os keep asking for keychain password

I'm getting this same problem. It seems random when it asks for the password, maybe every 3 or 4 days it'll ask when I plug it in at night. I've tried restoring from an older backup, which has not resolved the issue.

Authorization and Deauthorization
See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization for Macs.
See How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld for Windows.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected?

Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected? This has been happening since IOS7 was installed and has become worse with 7.1. I have reset the phone several times with no change.The phone charges properly & I have never used anything but an Apple Lightning cable.

I already cleaned the port with compressed air before submitting the problem. I since cleaned it with a toothpick and dug out some more lint. this seems to have just about fixed the problem since I have only had the error pop up 3 times since then and i was getting the error constantly before.

What is Listener.bundle? Why does my Mac keep asking to load it?

What is listener.bundle? Why does my Mac keep asking to load it?

Hi, Sk8erStan. I don't exactly know how/what your (or my) listener.bundle works/does, but for me, this became an issue when I downloaded the network scanning software "driver" for my Lexmark printer. Apparently this lets the Mac receive a request over wi-fi from the networked printer to set up, receive, and save a scan datafile. Essentially it lets the printer control the Mac. Which is OK and worked fine in my case .. EXCEPT every 5 or 10 minutes I get a pop-up alert asking me if I want to DENY or ALLOW my "listener bundle" app .. from listening. Really irritating and I have not yet figured out how to turn that off. If you have solved your problem, please post your solution and what you learned. Thanks.

Why does my Elements 12 ask me to enter Program Key after the product has been used and registered

I have had Elememts 12 for several months ... when I bought it ...I downloaded the program and registered it ... now ... every once in a while the program asks me to enter the Key number as if I never registered it ... also sometimes I get a message about my 30 day trial ...

I purchased Elements 12 not the Premier addition .... the disk Elements 12 comes with a trial version of Premier ... I did not install the 30 day trial version .... maybe t is Adobe trying to sell me the Premier addition ... I will pay more attention the next time the message comes up ... after reading some of the posts, I think that is what is happening ... I will have to wait ... someone wrote that they had the same problem and after a while, the message stopped appearing .... as I indicated .... I will look more carefully the next time I see the message...
Thanks again

I am trying to get through all your recent replies to go back to your post numbered 8.
1. Go to Control Panel/Programs and determine if you have Premiere Elements 12 and Photoshop Elements 12 installed.
2. When you have gotten the try out dialog, what program is mentioned in the dialogs - Premiere Elements 12 or Photoshop Elements 12?
3. The fundamental question is what did you purchase
a Photoshop Elements 12
b. Premiere Elements 12
c. Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12
From what you wrote it sounds like Photoshop Elements 12. Premiere Elements 12 seems to have come along as a tryout.
4. If Premiere Elements 12 is a tryout, after 30 days from first install of it, you should not be able to use it without a purchased serial number specific for Premiere Elements 12.
5. If you have no interest in Premiere Elements 12 tryout, uninstall it if it is installed. If it is not installed, then it is not the cause of your trial messages. But, I offer you this thought. Are these really License This Product/Continue Trial messages or are they really promotional dialogs (ads) put on your computer by Adobe who knows you have Photoshop Elements 12 and are trying to get you interested in Premiere Elements as well?
Please review and consider.
Thanks.

Add On...All my encountered with tryout pop ups have been as described and restricted to purchase Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 purchased as bundle.

New update are listed on the app icon. When I click update all I'm prompted to enter password. When I do, the progress bars go away and nothing gets updated. Tried logging out, reset iPad, and nothing seems to work. Keeps asking me to enter password.

I've been having the same problem for days and just solved it. Tried going to Apple ID and had all the same problems you did in the second paragraph. I signed out with my current username on the ipad under settings--->store and signed back in with my oldest apple id and password. Now the apps don't ask for a password to upgrade. I too had a username that wasn't an email address and had to change to one that was at some point. That's what caused the problems. Hope this can work for you.

Why does my phone keep blinking?

Why does my phone light keep blinking?

jsh17001,
We'd love to help! What is the exact model phone? The LED indicator should stop once missed call is retrieved. Did you by any chance have any other notifications on the device such as text messages or app notifications?
