Yosemite Google Password Required

Yosemite Calendar and Email Internet Account problem:
After upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite 10.10.3, I get a notice asking me to "Google Password Required. Energy your password for 'user' in Internet Accounts."    I need to keep my inactive Google account data for the purposes of iCal (Calendar) and email records for historical record keeping purposes.  This prompt occurs every few 10 minutes or so.
When in System Preferences in "Internet Accounts", if the account for calendar and email are unchecked, this archival data disappears.
How to you make this setting inactive without constant prompts for password?
Best,
Captain Karma (Mac User since 1986)

If I click "Continue" another dialog box opens asking me to enter my password, but I have not done that for fear it is a password-collection application.  I entered a bogus password, but it told me that was incorrect, which is evidence that this popup is legitimate, but I don't know why it exists as I'm not doing anything with Google at the times it appears.

  • Google Password Required

    Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 (April 9, 2015), I'm getting a pop-up message:  "Google Password Required. Enter your password for (my Apple ID) in Internet Accounts."
    Does anyone know what it means and how to get rid of this annoying message?
    Thank you.

  • On OSX 10.10.3  I'm getting a continuing window in upper right of screen that says, Google Password Required. Enter your password for "my account" in Internet Accounts.

    On MacBook Air 11" with OSX 10.10.3.  On startup, and continuing over and over, I get small window in the upper right hand corner of screen that says,
    "Google Password Required
    Enter your password for "my account name"
    in Internet Accounts"
    I'd never seen this window before the most recent update and am not sure that I want to agree to it.  What does it do and considering security, should I agree to sign in?

    Good day Jonsmom,
    It sounds as if there is a Google account in your Internet accounts that is trying to be accessed by some service when you log in to your MacBook Air.
    If you go to System Preferences (under the Apple Menu) and select Internet Accounts, are there one or more Google accounts listed? See this article -
    OS X Yosemite: Add your Twitter, Facebook, and other Internet Accounts
    If this is the case you may need to reenter the password for the account. 
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Safe computing,

  • Popup message: "Google password required, enter your password for .."  Internet account window in system preferences won't open.  How do I fix?

    Google accounts are suddenly offline.  Popup: "Google Password Required, Enter your password for ... in Internet Accounts."  continues to System Preferences/Internet Accounts.  Account window won't open.  I just get the grey circling system-working-on-it icon.  Suggestions.

    Launch the Console 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 and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to open the preference pane. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • I have set up two users, one for myself and one for children.  The computer automatically logs in for the children with no password required.  When the children go to spotlight and type in a search criteria all of my files show up.  How do I prevent this?

    Log in to your account, and move all your files to your home folder. No other users should be able to access them there and they won't show up with a Spotlight search.
    Make sure your kids' account(s) do not have admin privileges.

  • Error when starting Glassfish Server. Password Required at localhost

    Has anyone ever seen this kind of error? This is shown when i'm trying to deploy the Glassfish Server App
    You can see Screenshots here:
    [Password Required|http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/684/j2eeglassfish.jpg/]
    [Wrong User name and password|http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/5/j2eeglassfish2.jpg/]
    If I type user: admin and nothing for password it works (glassfish server starts), but the server-log continues to show me this:
    Information: User [admin] host 127.0.0.1 does not have access for administration or you have typed user name and password incorrect
    If I use Anonymous Connection for Admin Command (in the Overview of Glassfish Server) The problem is not shown. Why that??

    Stop the existing IS & AS as root or kill the (ois_server,aaa_server) process manually since the pid, pid_watchdog process are catch hold by root user. Logon as normal oracle user and issue the command start_ois_sever_nptl.

  • How to change "No Password required" for Guest to "Yes"account under Somarsoft Dumpsec

    Check Content:
    Verify all accounts require passwords.
    Run the DUMPSEC utility.
    Select "Dump Users as Table" from the "Report" menu.
    Select the following fields, and click "Add" for each entry:
    UserName
    SID
    PswdRequired
    AcctDisabled
    Groups
    If any accounts have "No" in the "PswdRequired" column, this is a finding.
    Some built-in or application-generated accounts (e.g., Guest, IWAM_, IUSR, etc.) may not have this flag set, even though there are passwords present.  It can be set by entering the following on a command line: "Net user <account_name> /passwordreq:yes".

  • Permissions Armaggedon, Evernote Crashes, Back-up Disasters, and Passwords Required To Empty The Trash

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro with OSX Lion 10.7.2.  I had a 2009 Macbook and I migrated all the information from that notebook to my new one.  I used a G-Drive External Hard Drive, and the migration seemed to have worked perfectly. 
    At first everything worked like a mac - perfectly.
    The next day there were several problems.  The only thing I think happened in between the following problems and the flawless functioning was a software update.  I've attached screen shots of everything I could.
    Here are the problems:
    1. Permissions Armageddon
    Every time i try to modify one of the documents that I migrated from the other macbook, it tells me another application changed the file, and if I would like to save my changes anyway.
    I click "Save Anyway", but then it says I don't have permission to alter the document.  I've repaired permissions on my mac several times to no avail. 
    I can fix this for each doc using the following sequence:
    Open Doc in Finder -> Command I (Get Info) -> Sharing & Permissions -> change all the users to "Read & Write"
    The problem is this takes about a minute for each doc, and it seems like there has to be a workaround.  I've also tried selecting an entire file and applying permissions to the enclosed documents.  This never does anything.
    I want to be able to open a doc and edit it without needing to change permissions every time.
    I don't know how to use Terminal and I'm afraid I'll mess up my computer if i try something.
    2. Back-Up Disasters
    I turned on Time Machine and every time it backs up it says its backing up the entire contents of my mac.  Shouldn't it just back up the new changes? 
    3. Passwords Required To Empty The Trash & Add Items To The Trash
    Every time I add a document, application, or file of any kind to the trash, I'm asked for my password.  Has anyone else experienced and/or resolved this issue?
    I've heard others say this is simply an extra security feature, but I wanted to make sure.  If anyone from Apple sees this - please remove this redundant and unecessary feature that wastes so much time.
    4. Evernote Crashes Upon Launch
    Evernote crashes every time i open the application.  Any idea whats causing this?  Iv'e tried moving it to the trash, deleting it, and re-installing it with no luck.
    Thanks for your help Apple Community!

    The reason why some of the files are blocking the trash from emptying is because of specific ".app" files from third party companies like Adobe products. Not the user files or the various help documents but instead the actual mother program. Here's how to fix this problem:
    1) remove from the trash all the actual software programs like Photoshop, InDesign, DreamWeaver and so on and put them on the desktop.
    2) Command "I" (info) and when the dialog box opens go to the "Name & Extension" text box and remove the ".app" from the software name. Example: Photoshop.app change to Photoshop.
    3) the program icon will change to a "folder icon".
    4) put the folder icon back into the trash and you should be able to now empty the trash.
    If you continue to get the error code 8003 it's because you may still have one or more software programs in the trash that needs to go through this process. Remember - it's not the user files or help documents or supporting files that is causing this but instead the "actual product programs".

  • Should I use one (1) password for all my password requirements or vary them?

    Hello.  At present, I have many different passwords for various password requirements on my iMac.  Would it be possible to use only
    one strong password instead for ALL my needs?  Thanks for any input on this.

    Thanks very much everyone--sorry I can only give 'this helped me' points to the first couple of answers, doesn't look like I can give out any more.  Also I will put a 'this solved my question' on after I wait for a few more replies, if they should come in.
    I have been using MANY passwords, actually about 3 pages of them I keep written down, but thought I was being paranoid!  By the sounds of it I should keep up with what I am doing even though it is a bit cumbersome.
    There is a program called 1Password but the cost is a bit prohibitive and I have found in the past that I pay and download some of these programs and then find I cant understand completely how to use them, so for the time being I will continue with what I am doing, thanks to your input.
    I did read somewhere that a strong password would be a series of statements that meant something to you--for example 'Ilovetopasstimeonmymac' (I love to pass time on my mac).  I have also read that putting a # sign in with the characters and numbers has merit.
    Again thanks for your input, I appreciate your time and expertise.  Cheers.

  • Import movie into a flash document - Import password required???

    Guys,
    I am pretty green to Flash, so bare with me.
    I purchased a flash (.fla) document from istockphoto, and wishes to place it inside a flash project.
    So basically, I saved as a swf, and tried to import into my library, but was asked for a pw (import password required).
    What is this? Is this a safety device from istockphoto in order to avoid such use? I paid for the file.
    Or is this a Flash requirement that I do not know?
    What can I do?
    HELP!!!

    Chances of getting an answer will be better if you ask in the Flash forum - this is the Flash Player forum.

  • "Password required" every time I want to edit my contacts. Why?

    "Password required" every time I want to edit my contacts. Why?
    Since I updated, I keep getting the same request from my contact list on my iPad. Not on my iPhone. I can't figure out where to correct this and it's driving me crazy.

    Yes I'm logged in. It only does it on my iPad. I tried restyling my Apple ID password and it still does the same thing.
    I'm missing something but can't figure out where. It started after I updated to ios7. Maybe there is a setting somewhere I'm missing.

    Hi Matthew,
    There are some excellent tips from Jason @ Cisco in this thread;
    "After converting the files you will need to upload the files to each CUCM server in your cluster (OS Admin --> TFTP File Managerment --> Upload *directory will be /).
    RingList info:
    Ringlist.xml is case sensitive
    Here is the format for the RingList.xml everything in this file is case sensitive as well.
            Analog Synth 1
            Analog1.raw
            Analog Synth 2
            Analog2.raw
    Make sure to upload the RingList.xml (OS Admin --> TFTP File Managerment --> Upload *directory will be /) to all servers in the cluster, and to restart the tftp service on all servers after upload."

    Also this began happening the same time my Yahoo mail account was hacked which resulted in my mail program (on mini) to fail. It crashes on startup.
    Thanks

    Thanks Steve that did it on my iPad. It was the yahoo account. Im beginning to think that Yahoo is dangerous. It was the hacking of my Yahoo mail account that started these problems. My mail account on my mini still does not work. I posted the problem here and got real professional advice  but to no avail it still doesnt work and I cant re-install the OS because Im in China and their Great firewall keeps the net too slow.
