iCloud password does not stick on El Capitan

I recently changed my password, and it seems to have taken on all my devices with the exception of my iMac running El Capitan. I don't know why, but when I enter my password in iCloud preferences, it is as it should be, then I immediately get a message in the iCloud Preferences tab that says: "Please enter your password to continue using iCloud. Check the password for Apple ID for [email protected]. "Everything is grayed out so I can't try and enable or disable anything.

Remove the iCloud account. Reboot the machine and then add it again.

  • my master password does not work, WHY?

    I used my master password for quite awhile. Today when I put it in it does not work. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? I saw the the way to remove it, but then I lose about 28 login and password for all my financial sites. Why the P/W does not work? AND why would you if it can FAIL. Y at - it another way around this in addition to a total deletion of all my other passwords. I tried to restart my computer a couple of times to see if it would fix itself, but nothing helped.

    Have you tried to close and restart Firefox or restart the computer to see if it have an impact?

    What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?

    If the MP password does not work and is not accepted if you get a prompt to connect to the software security device, then it is likely that the signons3.txt file got damaged or replaced by an older version.

    You have a backup of files in the Firefox profile folder?

  • The CD/DVD does not work with El Capitan 10.11.5 on Macbook Pro

    Hello everyone, I spent the time to research on the here and the other site on why the CD/DVD does not work with El Capitan 10.11.5 on MacBook Pro mid 2009. This discussion forum has said that he will not work with the El Capitan software. Any idea or suggestion? Back to Marverick or Yosemite? I tried to use SMC reset, restart, recovery and still the same issue.

    I thank in advance.

    ~ Mike

    I have my doubts that the (10.11.5) software is the problem.  Are you sure that the DVD player is simply not defective?  Have you tried to clean the lens?  What is the State of the disc?

    Your best option may be a date at a bar in engineering of the Apple store for a FREE evaluation.

    Ciao.

    Suddenly icloud calendar does not load on my Lenovo PC.  Has worked for months;  iCloud contacts and photos both continue to operate.  Any suggestions?

    Hi scschwind,

    I understand that you are having problems with your iCloud calendar on your Windows computer. Here is an article for you that will help you solve this problem:

    Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)

    After each step, check to see if the problem persists.

    Check the system requirements

    Make sure that your PC meets the system iCloud.

    Check your Internet connection

    1. Try to go to www.apple.com. If you are unable to connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events does not update in Outlook. Get help with your Internet connection.
    2. Try to open a secure Web site to your PC to see if you can access the ports 80 and 443. If the site does not open, you do not have access. Contact your ISP for help. Safari requires access to port 443 to push updates between iCloud and your devices.

    Check your settings

    ICloud opened for Windows and make sure that you are connected to the same iCloud account that you use on your other supported devices.

    Update Outlook

    If you have recently made changes in Outlook that are not updated on your other devices (or vice versa), click the Refresh button on Outlook.

    Turn off iCloud calendar and turn it back on

    1. Close Outlook.
    2. ICloud opened for Windows.
    3. Uncheck the Mail, Contacts, calendars, & tasks and click on apply.
    4. Wait a few seconds. Select Mail, Contacts, calendars, & tasks and click on apply.
    5. Open Outlook.

    Make sure that the Outlook Add-in iCloud is enabled in Outlook

    In Outlook 2010 and later:

    1. Click on the file menu.
    2. Click Options in the left panel.
    3. Click on add-ins in the left panel of the window Options in Outlook.
    4. Look at the list of add-ins in the section Active Application Add-Ins.
    5. Select the Outlook Add-in iCloud.

    In Outlook 2007:

    1. On the Tools menu, select Management Center.
    2. Select Add-ins in the left column.
    3. Look at the list of add-ins in the section Active Application Add-Ins.
    4. Select the Outlook Add-in iCloud.

    Make sure that iCloud is not your default account in Outlook

    • In Outlook 2010 and later, select file > Info > Account Settings > data files. If iCloud is listed as default account in the comments column, select another account and click on set as default.
    • In Outlook 2007, select file > data file management > data files. If iCloud is listed as default account in the comments column, select another account and click on set as default.

    Restart your computer

    After you restart your computer, see if you solved the problem.

    Find your calendar in Microsoft Outlook

    Learn how to manage Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook.

    1. Make sure that the calendar is enabled in iCloud for Windows.
    2. Locate your data in the iCloud folder in Outlook. You can also view your data in deleted items in your Outlook folder list.

    If you find your calendar data in the deleted items folder, it is not because iCloud deleted your data. When you turn on Mail, Contacts, calendars, & tasks in iCloud for Windows, iCloud copy your calendar for the default Outlook .pst file data in iCloud. Then iCloud removes the calendar of the .pst file data by placing it in the folder deleted in Outlook items. Calendar data then moves to the iCloud data set in Outlook so that iCloud can push data to and from Outlook.
