Why won't Messages save my Yahoo password?

Messages seems unwilling to save my password for Yahoo Messenger. Even a manual cleanup of my Keychain didn't seem to help. If, on the rare occasions, I can get the PW field entry to stick, I'm then told the PW is incorrect.

HI,
Does the password work for a Web Browser login ?
Is this and Actual Yahoo ID ?
The Yahoo App accepts Live/MSN name as well as Yahoo ones but iChat (6) and Messages does not.
When you find the item in the Keychain double click it.
In the Access Tab is it allowing IMAgent, Messages and Internet accounts to access the password ?

Why won't Mail save stationery? with OS X Lion

I have checked
Why won't Mail save stationery?
but it applies for Lepoard so what about Lion?
Any Help? I did remove all the signature yet, still cannot save it.

I've solved it!
When you have saved the stationery, and opened a new email, make sure you have NO SIGNATURE.
If you have 'None' in the signature drop down list, then the template will display fine.
If you have a signature automatically added to emails, it interferes with the template being displayed and all you get is the signature.
So start with a blank email and no signature, before you select your custom-saved stationery.

Why won't Elements 10 accept my password when it did before?

I have tried numerous times to put in the password when opening Elements 10. It would not accept it. so I decided to get a new password. In filling out the outline they want you to click yes on the Personal URL. Meaning I assume that you put your pictures on the wed for others. I do not want this. Am I not understanding that.

Double post.

Why won't Mail save my password(S)?

I enter my passwords in the Accounts pane of Mail's preferences, click"save," but they're never saved. As a result, I can't log into my Comcast mail. What to do?

In Mail's Preferences>Accounts, the password won't "stick" in the password field even after I click Save. I've double checked all the other settings in all other fields in Accounts, and all are correct. When I am in Mail and try to send a message (after setting the password in Accounts), a window comes up asking me to fill in my password again. I do, and check to keep it in the keychain, but the same window pops back up again, demanding the password. If I go back into Preferences>Accounts, the password field is blank AGAIN!! Just a little frustrating.
I've tried Keychain repair.
My mail.comcast.net password in Keychain are correct.
I've tried trashing Mail's and Keychain's .plist files and restarting before re-entering the password in Mail>Preferences>Accounts, but I am not sure I did those in the right order. I'm going to try that again and will post back.
I just got a new computer (MacBook Air) and this is the first time I've tried to use the Mail program, using Lion (10.7.1). I never had this problem when I used Snow Leopard and previous OSs.
Thanks for your help.

Why won't Firefox save my passwords?

Recently, I ran System Mechanic to clear out personal information. It wiped out all my saved passwords in Firefox. Now Firefox doesn't ask me whether to save passwords. I really miss this feature. I've tried to follow the Help" info and everything is set as it should be. Am I missing something?

Be careful with usung such software to cleanup stuf.
It is probably best to create a new profile if you do not know what went wrong or can't undo those changes.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
You can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files

Why won't firefox save my passwords anymore?

Firefox used to save my passwords, but doesn't do it any longer. It only has about 6 saved at this point and does not give me the drop down box to remember this password anymore.

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

Why won't the user name and password for my podcast save when I click "Remember this password?"

I have to enter the podcast log in information every time I update my podcast even though I click the box to remember the password.

You should have received a small booklet with the router that contains that information. however, when the Verizon tech installs the router, he/she usually logs into the router during the installation, and the router requires the password to be changed at first login. So there are two answers:
1) If nobody has logged into the router, or you have used the reset button to reset the router, the login should be : admin and password
2) If the tech did log in, they normally change the password to: password1
If you can't get in then reset the router using the reset button and use option 1.
Note: Actiontec routers include a "security" feature (a big joke!!!) that when you type the password two or three bullets appear for each key pressed. Just ignore that crap and type the password the way it should be.

Why won't Mail save stationery?

I just did a clean install of 10.6, and Mail won't save custom stationery I try to create. It does create the Custom category and shows what I saved there, but the text I entered is missing - only my signature shows up. The message has several of Mail's bulleted lists, but that shouldn't cause a problem. There are no graphics at all in my stationery.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Any help would be appreciated.

I've solved it!
When you have saved the stationery, and opened a new email, make sure you have NO SIGNATURE.
If you have 'None' in the signature drop down list, then the template will display fine.
If you have a signature automatically added to emails, it interferes with the template being displayed and all you get is the signature.

Why won't FIREFOX save my HISTORY settings of USE CUSTOM settings?!!!

This is very very annoying. I'm ready to throw this program down the bit bucket.
I use it to access facebook and play farmville. I need it to REMEMBER things so that every time I load farm ville it doesn't have to get stuff from their server..
Every time I open fire fox, and go to face book, and load farmville I get a message that says I can load faster if I allow it to store data on my Computer..
I go to firefox settings and find ONCE AGAIN my History preferences will NOT save "USE CUSTOM SETTINGS".
I have to change it every time. I have both 32 bit and 64 bit Nightly (beta) versions on my computer.
I have totally removed both, restarted windows 7, restarted it again, re-installed fire fox and it STILL happens...
Why? I will be darned if I will use explorer, but at least it SAVES the settings and doesn't get them screwed up!

''cor-el [[#answer-664256|said]]''
<blockquote>
Don't get confused:
If you see "(Never) Remember History" then that means that all history and cookie settings are set to the default value (i.e. cookies are enabled).
The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
"Use custom settings for history" stays selected if at least one of the History or Cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes from the default setting have been made.
</blockquote>
OK so I agree I was confused. What is confusing me even more is the number of times sites tell me I need to set my cookie settings to accept when as far as I can see it already is.

Why won't messages upload from the server? (IMAP)

Thunderbird 31.4
Win7Pro 64-bit
Two Road Runner accounts on Time Warner server.
Password matches the PW that works fine when using the Time Warner webmail interface.
Settings suggested by TW Help staff. (But they know nothing about Thunderbird.)
Same settings on PC laptop work
I tried to set up two Road Runner accounts that I have been using for years when today I junked my Profile to start all over. I had been seeing the "Account already exists" error over and over when I tried to add a second account to any of my mail servers and people were reporting the only way to fix this was to start over.
Horrible idea, i now think as I have put hours into reconnecting and I have not even been able to get Add-ons and Plug-ins back in place as the basics don't work.
A Hostgator account and the G-Mail account are back up and running. For the Road Runner accounts, now a part of Time Warner, I looked carefully at settings that work on my laptop, but I see no difference. However, those settings during the set up are clearly not smoothly connecting. No Incoming messages appear in TB but they are on the server as the web interface provided by Time Warner works with the same password.
However, the SMTP isn't right as I can start a message but it won't leave the client -- The send button is grey.
Stumped.

Next steps taken:
I unistalled Thunderbird and ALL profile folders and files anywhere on my Win7 machine. Emptied the Trash many times and performed many restarts to make sure things stayed Deleted. I downloaded the .exe file for 31.4 (current) from the Mozilla website. Ran the install and this time was careful to try setting up the problem account first.
Amazing: it DIDN'T work at all. The server settings are OK (Time Warner concurs) but the initial connection NEVER went through to either the incoming or outgoing server so the account is there but there is no stored password (I looked!) for me to change (as part of my troubleshooting). I then tried my domain-based account (HostGator) and that set up right away.
Is there a clue to this problem in seeing that these road runner accounts never populate themselves in TB with the usual folders? InBox is established but not "Sent, Trash, Junk, Template, and Archive".
Note: I am using Manual setup as soon as TB starts trying to probe the server. I already know the "results" are wrong.
...and again, TB can establish the connections and settings needed for other mail servers, like HostGator, GMail, etc.
Help, please, I need ideas. What could be SO WRONG with Time Warner and this machine that this can't be configured. Note that I can get the mail for these accounts on my Win7 laptop here, so same TB program version, same accounts, same settings. same router, same WAN modem.
I continue stumped. Please help!

Why won't iTunes save my library?

A pop-up randomly appeared saying that iTunes couldn't save my library because I didn't have enough access or something. When I tried to sync my music, none of them were able to be synced onto my iPod touch 5th gen. Why is this so, and how do I fix this problem??

It could be several things but we need fuller information. If I go into a doctor and just say I have a cough it could be an allergy, it could be dusty, it could be flu, it could be cancer... If I say it only happens when I work in a bakery that provides a clue. If I say I also have a fever that provides more information.
Is this only happening with purchases from the iTunes Store? Possibly something in purchased media (I am pretty sure this has only happened with purchased media) is periodically checking back with the iTunes Store and resetting the tags in the iTunes library file but not in the actual media files (metadata are stored in both). I haven't seen a truly systematic diagnosis of the issue (I use an old iTunes and have no iTunes account so I can't test anything myself). There are temporary workarounds but tags will still revert after a time.
Something to try (post by turingtest2) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26454072#26454072
If the above doesn't work:
2014 discussion about edited tags for Store purchases reverting to originals - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26077896#26077896 - edited tags are still present in the media file but revert to the originals in the iTunes library file. Workaround is to refresh tags so media file tags are re-read and used in library file.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26193185#26193185
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26335620#26335620 - user ended up rebuilding iTunes library from scratch
Send feedback to Apple about this so they know it is an issue they need to investigate:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Don't expect an immediate solution but maybe the next time they update the software it may be resolved.

Why won't Contacts save a new card on my iMac?

I can enter a new card on my iPhone and it saves but doesn't sync with my other contacts. Any new card I enter on my iMac doesn't stay in contacts. It's gone next time I open contacts and, of course, doesn't sync on other devices.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
