Got a new iMac recently, and am gradually coping with all the updated stuff.
One thing, however, is driving me batty.
EVERY 15 minutes I get a message coming up, and until I put in a password, I can't continue with what I'm doing.
The message reads ...."calendar agent wants to use the "login" password".
Any ideas how I can get rid of this please?

I've never come across this before but read the post answer from "Linc Davis" on the link below: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5713179?start=0&tstart=0 Hope this helps you. As a footnote it's always helpful if you can mention what iMac OS you are using i.e. 10.9.5 Mavericks or Yosemite...

ferlew - my PC died and I started using my MacBook again. It takes a bit of getting used to - and in the last few weeks I have gone from Snow Leopard to Maverick to Yosemite.

I share your pain. They are brilliant machines but so different from Windows.

which calendar does it want to use? I had the problem because calendar was trying to link to yahoo's calendar. As I don't use yahoo (BT's) calendar I just disabled it in accounts and all fixed.

Woofgang, I'm not sure what it's asking for, it sometimes comes up with the same message, but saying Address agent (or similar).
Fanriffic - that's EXACTLY it. Off to see if I can take it in. Thanks all.
Question Author
Fanriffic - I printed off that reply from Linc, and went through t step by step.
I'll come back in half an hour and let you know whether it worked. Fingers crossed.
Question Author
Well, it appears to have done the trick. Thank you so much Fanriffic, been trying for days to cure this.
So glad that worked for you ferlew :o)

I always consult the Apple Support website for all my Apple product problems which happens very rarely these days. So reliable.

Thanks for the Best Answer :o)
Anybody got any views on Yosemite please. Is it worth updating from Mavericks?
Ladybirder Ive last years macbook pro and updated to Yosemite and no problems. Best thing is the big improvement to Safari 8.
Question Author
I hadn't realised till I bought the new one, my previous iMac I had bought in early 2005, how's that for value? The only reason I needed a new one, was my screen was breaking up, and was out of production to replace. 17.5" - smallest now is 21.5. (YW Fanriffic, it was a great reply)
Thanks Jomlett, I'm always loathe to change what is working perfectly well but if it improves Safari I'll do it tomorrow.
Apologies ferlew for highjacking your thread.
I find that yosemite has sped up both my imac and 2 mac book airs, especially in boot up and shut down.

Not a problem Ladybirder :)
