Yahoo mail says no password even though I've inserted it multiple times

hi! First off when I try to register my yahoo acc on my iPhone it says something about "server might be wrong". When I open up mail it
Says that no password is there and that I need to put that in in settings. Then I repeat that after and after again but it still says that I don't have a password inserted
Greetings
Oliver

I doubt you are doing anything wrong. First day glitches
Reset the device.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Make sure you have Mail selected here > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

Cannot get mail using iCloud. Says no password provided for iCloud, to go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password, even though I've already done this. Very odd.

My Mail application is rejecting my password even though I'm putting it in correctly. Mail is working fine on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac so it must be something to do with the Mail settings on my desktop. My software is up to date. Can you help?

I have an iMac, operating system 10.7.4 with up to date software. My mail application is rejecting my password even though I know I am putting it in correctly. I have an ipad and iphone and the mail application is working fine on them. On my desktop however I cannot receive or send mail. I think it must be something to do with the settings but cannot work out what. I have contacted BT who provides my email and internet. As I have another email address with them that is working correctly they believe it is a problem with mail rather than with them. Please can you help?

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

Re: Macbook Pro 10.6.8 RAM Upgarde to 8 GB
The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

From your description it sounds like your Hotmail account was compromised. Does anyone else know the password and could they have changed it?

Wants password even though it's got it

I noticed since I loaded Entourage that Mail's been acting a little goofy. It'll prompt me for the server to use when sending a message and sometimes ask me for the password even though it's stored in the Account settings and on the keychain.
I've since deleted the mail accounts from Entourage but it still does this.
Any ideas here?
thanks

cool. There was some problems there related to the email accounts so it looks like that was the culprit.
All fixed.
Thank you for your help.

Help - I can't access yahoo mail since changing password

I'm able to access my yahoo e-mail on my computer, and since changing my password I cannot access it on my iphone 5S or ipad. I keep getting the message that the server is unavailable or that the password doesn't match (despite trying it multiple times to ensure accuracy!). I deleted the account from my iphone, did a hard reboot, and I STILL cannot access my yahoo mail. Once again I get the message that the server is unavailable. I'm using a workaround right now by using the yahoo app, but that doesn't give me all the functionality I need. I can't imagine this is an isolated problem. I took the iphone to an apple store, and I was told i have to wait a few hours to talk wtih a tech (didn't have a few hours at the time). So I'm trying the forum here. Something tells me there's an easy solution. Can somebody help me out? Thanks!

I found the answer on yahoo. for anybody else who has this problem: You start from within yahoo. Reset the password and click the button to generate app passwords. And then you can generate a specialized password for each of your ios devices.
Here's what it says in my yahoo account:
App passwords
Certain apps don’t work with Yahoo’s second sign-in verification.
They include:
Mail apps like iOS Mail, Android Mail, and Outlook
To use these apps, you’ll need to generate an app-specific password, and then enter it in the password field of your app. You’ll only have to create and enter the password once for each app. Learn more
And here's the help page.
Generating App Passwords
To protect your account, you're required to generate a one-time password, separate from your Yahoo account password, when you use non-Yahoo apps.
Here's how:
First activate second sign-in verification on your account to use App Passwords.
From your Account Info page, click App Passwords.
Under "Generate new application password," enter the name of the app that requires a password.
Click Generate Password.
Tip: This isn't a new password for your account. It's a one-time password to validate you're authorizing access to your account from a non-Yahoo app.
Enter the code into the password field of your mobile device.
Click Done to reset the code generator.
-If you forget the code, you can always generate a new one.
You're now safely connected!
We'll save a list of apps within your "Generate app passwords" page. Also from this page, you can generate a new code or remove permissions.

Since upgrading to osx 10.8.2 sleep requires password even though i have set to open automatically.

Since upgrading to osx 10.8.2 on my mid 2009 Mac Book Pro 15 inch, It requires me to enter my password even though automatic login is turned off. It never required this before. Why is it doing this now since the upgrade?

Try reinstall iPhoto:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.
If that fails then I think you need to reinstall the OS.

HT203808 Updated my iPad to IOS 8.1.2 and now I am unable to access iCloud, iTunes, etc. with my password even though it works on my MacMini. I changed the password thinking it would help, but to no avail. Now what should I do to restore my iPad to acce

After updating my iPad to IOS 8.1.2, I am unable to access the Cloud with my password, even though it worked on my Macmini. I changed the password and it still does not work on the iPad. What can I do to get iPad to recognize my Apple ID/password account?

I would be helpful to know what those "basic steps" you have already tried are, but lacking that information:
Settings app > iTunes & App Stores - sign out of your AppleID
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Sign back into your AppleID (same location as noted above)

When I go to certain web sites it automaticallly puts in my password even though I didn't ask the site to save it how can I get it to stop?

Example is facebook as soon as I get to the log in page it fills in my password even though I have never asked it to remember my password. I am afraid to do other sites on my mac because others use it and i don't want them accessing my bank accounts. How do i make sure that it won't?

Some sites use cookies to remember login details. Delete the cookies for the site, and when you next log in check for a setting similar to "Remember me" or "Always keep me logged in" and make sure that it is not selected.

I'm having a problem where Firefox keeps asking for my Amazon password, even though I tell Firefox NOT to remember this password. In Firefox options, Amazon is clearly listed as a site for which not to save passwords.

I was having the same problem. After reading a few threads, restore your Apple TV to its original factory settings (approximately 15-20 minutes) and try logging in again. It just worked perfect for me!

I'm not aware of a way to reset the password for an encrypted backup. If you have forgotten the password for an encrypted backup, your only alternative is to put the phone in recovery mode and restore it as a new device. Your data will be lost.
