OS X V10.5 Leopard :: Get Error "unknown User Or Password"
May 28, 2012
Changed password and can access Gmail via web client.Deleted gmail account from mac, both email and calendar?Deleted all gmail settings from key chainThen created a new mail account for my gmail, but continue to get error "unknown user or password for [URL]"Seems the old password is cached?
I canceled by mobile.me account and now I am getting this message when I open my mail. Enter password for account "smtp.me.com:xxx". SMTP server "smtp.me.com" rejected the password for user "xxx". I try to put my mobile.me password, but that does not seem to work. I am fairly new to Mac OS and cant seem to figure out what is going on.
Trying to re-install Twitter from the Mac App Store. When I click "install" I get a prompt to type in my Apple ID (pre-filled with jonas.clement@hotmail.com; NOT ME). When I type my correct Apple ID and password in I get an "Error -4" message followed by "Unknown Error" message. Â
I have NO clue who jonas.clement@hotmail.com is. My account has not been hacked (at least no unauthorized purchases have been made). Â When I view my previously purchased apps, I see the whole list, Twitter, included...but I can't seem to download it. Â
Here's what I'm running:Â
Mac OS X 10.6.8 App Store 1.0.2 (63.1)Â Â
Here's what I've tried. Signing out of the App Store and signing back in.Signing out of the App Store and not signing back in until I try to download the App. Signing out of iTunes (trying everything). Restarting. What else is causing these errors?Â
startup banner.JAWBONE UPDATER ERROR: Failed to inspect the lock file '/Users/[user]' (error 2: No such file or directory)."Â Jawbone support writes, "get in touch with Apple Support, so they can help you unlock the file on your Mac.Â
I can't e-mail a picture from iphoto because a message comes on the screen and says it does not recognize my user name and password. How do you correct this?
I just noticed on my main boot drive, in the sharing and permissions section. Their is a user named ''unknown'' This unkown user has read only permissions, and is grayed out. I have tried removing this user by clicking the minus sign. It has no effect. I cant change their privilege level either. I can do this with the other users listed. The ones that aren't grayed out.This (unknown) user is not listed with the rest of the users. Found in the sharing options, under system preferences. In fact all sharing options are turned off. I don't have a wireless network, nor do I run time machine.
After downloading a few new apps tonight, both off the App Store and Safari, I noticed that s6761bm0t3r1 had been newly listed under shared.
One of the apps i downloaded ended up changing my homepage and search engine which was annoying but not too unusual.
After changing things back to usual I went to look through finder to see if anything unwanted had been downloaded and that's when i noticed it. I know it's not my printer because i turned my printer on and it showed up under a different nameI have never had any other machines connect like this to my mac that i know of besides my printerWhen i try to click more info it just keeps on fetching and won't show anythingWhen i try to double click on it it tries to connect and soon after says Connection failedI don't know if it's from something i downloaded but I first noticed it immediately afterwards so I'm thinking it is
so my iMac running leopard on my college campus was forced to install this application called "Policy Key.app" This program allows me to connect to the internet for my campus, yet, as I dug through the permissions of this app, I see that there is system access, admin access, myself with access, and then...."Unknown" with read and write capabilities. Is this normal? I assume the write part must be to deactivate my internet if I am doing something illegal obviously but I must say I feel uncomfortable knowing that there is the "Unknown" user that can read and write my internet access levels.
A movie I purchased stops downloading almost immediately and the error message above comes up. The rest of iTunes works properly and my internet connection is fine. I was downloading numerous TV episodes before and during while this movie was in the cue without any issues. I've restarted my network and that did not seem to fix it.Â
I've deleted the movie from the cue and re-downloaded it but still same issue.Â
I recently got hired into a Tech position and inherited the current iMac machine running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (now updated to .4 build). I was in the process of De-Personalizing the machine from the previous person who worked in this office, but when I proceeded to try and install some important updates for Final Cut X and entered my Apple ID and Password, I was given an Unknown Error dialog box. Hitting OK I then noticed the 'Unknown Error (4), please try again later' dialog box. This is rather frustrating.Â
I was wondering if the reason it is not working is because the versions of the programs where purchased under a different Apple ID (the previous employee who worked here). Â
I'm trying to download a movie and this message keeps showing up (unknow error occurred (-50)) check your internet connection and try downloading again. I have an internet connection but every time I try to download the same message keeps showing up.
I have spent all day with a colleague wrestling with a 4 and 1/2 year old G5 tower that has been throwing up all sorts of cranky errors. (i.e. firefox crashes, flash crashes, programs wont load, itunes stops working, firewire drives make it insane). As part of the diagnostic flow, I attempted to verify permissions on the core HD. Disk utility only took a couple seconds to determine that there is some unknown error with the HD, and it cant continue. This leads me to believe that we are dealing with a flailing drive, which very well MAY be the root of the problems! Time to make an external clone onto a fresh HD, and see if that helps.
Install CCC 3. Open CCC 3, it hiccups on the dock, and then nothing. *roll eyes*. Install super duper. Run super duper. Now super duper refuses to let me make a bootable clone of the core HD? Fine, if that is how you want to play this game. I get two SATA enclosures. Put the suspect drive in one, and then a fresh drive in the other. Plug both into my MBP where i run a CCC bootable clone. Couple hours later, it is complete. Plug the new clone into the G5 tower, and it does not see it as a bootable drive. Okay, lets try the CCC clone again. Same result. I am desperate for options.
Long time reader at MacRumors, first time posting.Here's the rundown of the issue I'm having:About a week ago, I switched from DSL to a Cable Modem (10x faster, 50% cheaper... hurray, right?) and two days later my computer stopped connecting to the internet, or so I thought. It seemed I was unable to connect to google, or anything google-related, i.e. picasa, youtube, google reader, gmail.My website uses google HTML snippets, which do not load (http://raisedby.tv)? Using a 2006 15" MBP with snow leopard 10.6
Recently I had my Macbook pro reformatted back to factory conditions. After downloading all the software updates I tried to log into the iTunes store, but everytime I get the message " We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An Unknown error occurred (-54)" Â
I am able to connect to the iTunes store itself and look around and preview songs. but I can't log in to my account. I have the latest version of iTunes, and I haven't altered any settings in iTunes, so I'm confused as to why I am receiving this error message. Â
The other discussions and trouble shooting pages referencing the error (-54) seem to all talk about ipod sync issues or not being able to access the store in general.
Info: MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I've never had an issue with renting from iTunes before, but I'm getting the following message tonight: "An unknown error occurred (- 50)."  I'm not seeing any support links or "report problems" from within iTunes. (I know I'm connected because I just updated a ton of apps.)
I've getting the error, "We could not complete your purchase" followed by "unknown error". When I click "Store", "Sign Out", nothing happens. When I click "Store", "View My Account", nothing happens. I opened iTunes, logged out of my account and then closed it. I then open the Mac App Store and I'm still logged in, get the error, and am unable to log out.
My partner purchased an older second hand Macbook (running Leopard - from what he tells me). But he can't get round the admin password which wasn't supplied to him. there any way to change/reset this password without knowing the current password? I've got a copy of the Leopard install disk
After migrating my old iMac to my new one, every time I start iTunes, I get the following message: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (4002).
