Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading: FaceTime Password Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name" Never used FaceTime.
Dear Community,
Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:
FaceTime Password
Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name"
It happened to me today for the first time since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.3, no "stop lights" in the title bar of the popup, in fact nothing at all.
I've never established a FaceTime account. So I tried to delete FaceTime from the Applications folder on the "system" disk thinking this may eliminate the popup. Mavericks informed me "Cannot delete FaceTime as it is used by the operating system.
Is this a MAC virus? Or is this an example user community alpha/beta testing that Apple just announced?
TIA,
GonzoBernelli
That being the case, why then did the FaceTime popup even appear in the first place?
It's not clear to me what it is. If it occurs again, please take a screenshot of the popup and post it in a reply.
To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
The screenshot attachment option for this support site appears only on computers - not on iPads.
⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

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. -

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,

I have the iPhone 4, and yesterday I synced my photos onto iTunes, but now I have albums on my phone that cannot be deleted, and there is not an option to delete the items in the albums individually... How do I get rid of these unwanted albums? Using Windows 7.
If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.

I bought a $50 card for my son and then went to buy another one and it was refused and has continued to be for a week telling me a I am exceeding the gift card limit for my account? Insights here?
Interesting.
Didn't know Apple accepted PayPal as a payment option in some Stores. Cause they sure don't over here. -

I have an iMac on OSX 10.7.5 with Safari 6.1.6. Opening Safari produces a popup that cannot be removed, thus disabling everything else. How can I eliminate this?
Launch Safari with the Shift key held down. If that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

When I open iTunes on my Macbook Pro, I am now getting a small window that says "Checking iTunes Library" with a pinwheel. This goes on for 5-10 minutes before I am able to access iTunes. Help! How do I fix this?
I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue. -
I am trying to buy music and I keep getting an error stating that my Apple ID has been disabled. I reset my password but it still does not work. What can I do?
Crich,
The usual reasons for an Apple ID getting disabled are either unauthorized activity or violations of the Terms & Conditions.
Submit your request to iTunes Customer Service and if appropriate, they will re-enable it. -
Does anyone know how to "undelete" a Note that was mistakenly deleted? Is there a trash bin for "notes"?
If you backup your iPad, the notes are contained in the backup. But the notes will only be as current as your last backup. If you really want to retrieve that note and you know that you backed up after you created the note, try restoring from the backup.
Bear in mind that everything that was in that backup will be restored to the iPad as well as that one note that you want to retrieve.
