How do I get os x to stop asking for confirmation of a command?

Ask anything, delete email, close a window, etc. and it constantly asks for confirmation. Any way to remove that?

Confirmation of what command are you referring to?
You can set the mail preferences so that trash is not stored in the trash, but deleted immediately.
Most apps have preference settings to not ask for confirmation, such as Trash. Have you looked carefully at the preferences?
Which windows ask you for confirmation requests when closing? Are you referring to 3rd party software? Also closing is not the same as terminating.
Safari and FireFox only ask for confirmation, not when closing a window, but when closing the app, and then, only if more than one tab is open.

  • How do I get iCloud Password to stop asking for my gmail password?

    Every time i start my mac iCloud asks for my gmail password. I find it intrusive and annoying at the same time. I have tried disabling a whole bunch of stuff in the iCloud prefrences with no luck. I have no idea why it is even asking to begin with.

  • Can I get dTa OneClick to stop asking for confirmation when I click on a link?

    If I right click on a link and select dTa OneClick, it automatically adds the link to the download queue, however if I click directly on the link it opens a pop-up window asking me what I want to do, namely:
    "Open with" ....
    "DownThemAll"
    "dTa OneClick"
    "Save File"
    I have checked the box saying "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" but it still asks me every time I click on a link. Is there any way to stop it?
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • How do I get rid of iMac always asking for login keychain

    How do I get rid of iMac always asking for login keychain, very annoying

    There is a utility called Keychain Access.  It is in your Applications/Utilities/ folder.  Keychain Access has tools to do "first aid" and a reset on your keychain.  Here are some Apple Support articles with instructions.

    and if that does not help (reset)

    Start by using your web browser to go to creative.adobe.com. Log in there with your Adobe ID.
    There is no serial number for subscriptions. You use your Adobe ID. Then there are options to download applications.

  • How can I get rid of the constant asking for PIN whenever my iPad has been sleeping?

    How can I get rid of the constant asking for PIN whenever my iPad has been sleeping?

    You can turn it off:
    Settings > Passcode > enter your passcode > Turn Passcode Off.
    For security's sake, I recommend changing the amount of time that passes before it locks as opposed to turning off completely:
    Settings > Passcode > enter your passcode > Require Passcode:
    Immediately
    After 1 minute
    After 5 minutes
    After 15 minutes
    After 1 hour
    After 4 hours

  • How do i get my Ipad 1 to ask for a wep key insted of a password for wifi setup?

    how do i get my Ipad 1 to ask for a wep key insted of a password for wifi setup?

    "WiFi setup"?  I'm not sure I understand.  Are you trying to set up your WiFi network from an iPad?
    Anyway, the answer to your question is likely this:
    Go to Settings > WiFi.  Find your network.  Click the small "i" in the circle on the right of that line.  That probably has the information you are looking for (or the place to set it).

  • Tried to update an app and it asked for the password to my sister's Apple ID. I then checked to see whose Apple ID was logged in, in settings and it said that I was logged in. How do I get the app store to ask for MY Apple ID, not my sister's?

    Tried to update an app on my phone but when it asked me to give the password for my AppleID, it was asking for the password to my sister's AppleID. I went to setting and down to itunes&app store settings and checked which AppleID was logged in, but i found that it was my AppleID that was logged in, not my my sisters. I then tried logging out and logging back in again but the app store, regardless of this, still asks me for my sister's AppleID and I don't know her password...How do I get the app store to ask me for MY AppleID password, not my sister's?

    If this app was bought by your sister with her Apple ID, only her ID can update the app.

  • How do i get automatic downloads to stop asking me for my password?

    hi, i am wondering how i could get automatic downloads to just automatically remember my password instead of asking me ever single time i open iTunes, its starting to get on my nerves that for itunes to "automatically" download my purchases i have to actually initiate it my self by inputing my password. it kind defeates the purpose of the whole "automatic downloads" feature. please help!

    Call them up anf you cancell your Data plan. If you sold the iPad you should have done this before hand. Otherwise you are basically paying for the other persons Internet access.

  • When I try to download anything from iTunes or the app store on my iPod touch, my sister's Apple ID comes up instead of my Apple ID. How can I get my iPod touch to ask for the password for my Apple ID rather that of my sister's.

    When I try to download anything from iTunes or the App Store on my iPod Touch, my sister's Apple ID pops up instead of mine. How can I get my iPod Touch to display my Apple ID and ask for my password rather than display my sister's Apple ID?

    You can try to tell the iPod to use yours:
    1. Tap Settings
    2. Navigate to "iTunes & App Store"
    3. Tap Apple ID:
    4. Tap "Sign Out"
    5. Sign in to your account.

  • How can I get firefox 4 to stop prompting for handling of a file type? I have already set "always automatically do this" and checked application preferences. Any other things to try?

    I am using FF4 to download some .nzb files. I just want it to open the appropriate application when I click to download the .nzb file. Instead, I get prompted each time. this wasn't a problem on beta FF4. I also verified my application settings. Also, not a problem in Chrome or IE . . .

    I finally found a solution to this problem. Simply install the InlineDisposition extension:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/inlinedisposition/
    Sites like Binsearch will now load nzb files into Newsbin (or any other usenet reader) automatically without the user getting the "What should Firefox do with this file?" prompt every time after you've already checked "Do this automatically for files like this from now on"

  • HT204085 How do I get my Mac to stop asking me for my keychain password!  No matter how many times I enter it, it still keeps popping up!  Very annoying and distracting.  I DON'T WANT TO USE THIS CRAP!

  • How do I get a song to stop at the end in garageband on ipad 2?

    When a song in Garageband (on ipad 2) reaches the end, it immediately loops back to the beginning and starts playing again. I'd like to use Garageband as an accompaniment to live performance. So, how do I get the song to stop (and not restart) at the end?

    I really wish the Apple team would fix this.  It's one of those nagging things that was overlooked, I would imagine, and no one but musicians that perform would notice.
    Anyway, my workaround is this.  I just put a really long silent space at the end of the song giving me time to stop it before it loops. 
    Hey ipad/garageband team -  How about a new release of gargageband?
