iCloud email rejecting password

I'm having this issue as well ... really starting to annoy me. It's been going on consistently for two or three weeks now.
 
Wirelessly posted

Me too, in 5.1 and 10.7.3
I am glad I have Gmail and Dropbox.
I have wasted so much time on iCloud and and @me dealing with problems.
 
Arghhhh!

Here we go again on my Imac running Snow Leopard with all the updates and virus/malware firewalls. My Iphone and Ipad work. In my case it is Snow Leopard and since I already migrated my Me stuff to iCloud I had to use this link to set up Mail. Now it works. There is also a link for those Snow Leopard or Leopard users who have not already migrated their ME accounts.

I am having the same problem as well.

Email Pop-up keeps asking for my cloud password and then keeps rejecting it.

Is Apple aware of this problem?
 
I'm also/still having this problem... All the suggestions here do not work for me...

my iPhone 4 running OS 5.1 and using iCloud via Firefox works perfectly...

Any other suggestions?
 
This has been a common problem for me for a while now. I know the password is correct because I just checked my email via safari @ iCloud.com. C'mon Apple your only one of the richest companies in the world, fork out what you have to keep your iCloud email working. I pay a subscription for additional iCloud space. This clearly has been a problem for months, & a great man who is no longer with us would be spinning in his grave if his customers had to put up with this to get their iCloud email via a Mac. Anyone else not have this issue as much on their iOS device(s)?
 
Same problem. It happens whether I use Sparrow or Mail, every day at least. I also use gmail on Mail but it only asks for my iCloud email.
 
I finally gave up and switched my primary back to Gmail. I don't want a primary account I don't trust (this combined with recent reports of email simply not sending and/or arriving).

Click to expand...

Never changed my gmail primary account. iCloud is too unpredictable
 
I think I fixed my/the issue....

I'm on a early 2006 iMac (CD not C2D) running SL since I can't run Lion...

Anyways, I deleted my mobileme account from the mail settings and created a new account using the settings from HERE....
 
Same problem

I'm having this problem now, months later. I can't access my iCloud or iTunes accounts, and I can't find anywhere on the Apple site where I can ask for help
