Stop password request for Cloud? Stay off Cloud?

My IMAC with Maverick keeps asking me for Cloud Password.... how do I stop it from asking? I don't want my stuff on Cloud, how do i Prevent Cloud from saving anything?

Try going System Preferences/iCloud and check to make sure you aren't signed in. Also check Internet Accounts and if iCloud is set up there, select it and delete it.

How to enable password request for restart and shutdown?

Hi,
I'm neither a Linux nor an Arch Linux newbie, but inexperienced regarding this particular issue.
I want to enable password request for restart and shutdown and want to know if I'm mistaken, because trial and error might become to time-consuming while working on a project.
I read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Al … o_shutdown.
$ ls -hAl /usr/bin/shutdown
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Apr 22 03:02 /usr/bin/shutdown -> systemctl
If I try to run $ shutdown -hP 28 or $ shutdown -c nothings happens, I need to run $ sudo shutdown -hP 28 and $ sudo shutdown -c and type a password. That's the way I want it.
If I e.g. run $ shutdown -r now no password is needed. I want to disable this. It should behave the same way as shutdown -hP/-c behave. I want to type
$ sudo shutdown -r now or $ sudo systemctl reboot etc. and then the password should be required.
$ sudo grep -vn "#" /etc/sudoers | grep [[:blank:]]
72:root ALL=(ALL) ALL
73:rocketmouse ALL=(ALL) ALL
The user "rocketmouse" should have all permissions after typing a password, but not without typing the password.
IIUC what's written at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Polkit, I need to edit
$ pkaction | grep login
org.freedesktop.accounts.set-login-option
org.freedesktop.login1.attach-device
org.freedesktop.login1.flush-devices
org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate
org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-ignore-inhibit

org.freedesktop.login1.reboot-ignore-inhibit
org.freedesktop.login1.reboot-multiple-sessions

org.freedesktop.login1.suspend
org.freedesktop.login1.suspend-ignore-inhibit
org.freedesktop.login1.suspend-multiple-sessions
org.freedesktop.machine1.login
IOW I need to replace every yes and no etc. with auth_admin in $ grep -v lang /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy.
Am I mistaken?
Regards,
Ralf

You'll need to create a rules file which uses javascript.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Po … tion_rules
// /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-admin-shutdown-reboot.rules
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.power-off" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.power-off-ignore-inhibit" ||
/*...SOME_MORE_IDS_HERE...*/
// return polkit.Result.AUTH_ADMIN_KEEP;
return polkit.Result.AUTH_SELF_KEEP;

I have the same errors occurring at an alarming rate. I did isolate it to the App Store. Specifically when checking for an update. I was hoping that you could test this out for me. Go to your console log and select all messages and then check kernel in the sender box (bottom left). I found that now is a good time to insert a marker. Now launch the app store then got to the update section. Select check for update.
Does this generate a series of the errors? I can reproduce the errors every time I "check for updates". The error would not show up when checking for updates in iTunes.
I did notice errors in both extending from CFNetwork
App store:
2015-01-15 8:40:38.047 AM storeassetd[356]: CFNetwork SSLHandshake failed (-9802)
iTunes
2015-01-15 8:53:53.986 AM iTunes[2200]: CFNetwork SSLHandshake failed (-9806)
Please compare and see if you get the same results.

How to stop endless requests for Mail password?

My PowerBook G4 15" with OS 10.58 constantly asks for password. How do I stop this?

I was able to stop this behavior on another person's Tibook by deleting the Keychain with Keychain Access app and starting a new one. I think I also deleted the Mail accounts and started those anew. This was not a problem with an IMAP account, so everything was retained and rebuilt. Be sure to check mark any dialog that asks whether to save this password in my Keychain.
Your plan may differ if you have POP mail accounts, or an extensive Keychain with many other passwords that are hard for you to remember and reenter. You probably don't want to lose archived POP mail messages. I would certainly try to archive all mailboxes before experimenting, in case everything in Mail disappears. Better to clone your whole drive and/or a Time Machine backup (which you should do anyway). You can also try deleting Keychain entries only related to Mail, as well as the command for Keychain First Aid.

Multiple password requests for iTunes

MacMini (2010), Safari 8.0.3, Yosemite 10.10.2, itunes 12.1.0.50
Every time I start up iTunes, it asks for password. Not once, but up to 4 times !!
What's going on and how to stop it?
Thanks for any help.
SB

I get the same message as well I need a answer as well. Anyone out there can help us out please.
Thank you

How do I stop repeated requests for keychain login?

Every few minutes my iMac asks for the keychain login password - I enter the password and the box goes away. A few minutes later something else (such as Safari or Calendar) asks for it. This carries on throughout the day, the same series of items in rotation asking for the login.
My keychain login is the same as the computer login (this was fixed by a helpful Genius at an Apple store when an unknown login password was blocking the whole system - but now this has happened). Has anyone got any clues? It's just very annoying.

I *think* this has solved the problem - I'm not quite sure if what I did was what you recommended but I think it was (and I seem to have set up a Keychain access code in the process of trying to find the right folder) - I haven't had a pop-up for a while.
If that's done the trick, a big thank you! (Lugging a heavy computer to an over-busy Apple store again averted)

Password Requests for Safari and Entourage

I've been through several forums this week trying to resolve iMac challenges. After all of those fixes were incorporated or tried, I now see dialogue boxes in Safari asking for my keychain password as well as in Entourage. Do I need to change a setting someplace, or is this just to be expected from now on?

OK; too simply stated. I did find pop.charter.net as an Internet password. I clicked on the "i" and another window with two selections appeared: Attributes//Access Control. When I select Access Control, the new window shows only one button clicked that says, "*Confirm before allowing access*." The sub-level button, saying "Ask for keychain password," is not clicked. Nor is the upper level button, saying "Allow all applications to access this item." In the lower window it says, "Always allow access by...Entourage...." What should I do about this? Do I need to change it, delete it or just punt?

HT4623 password request for Ipad backup.

in restoring Ipad to a previous backup in Itunes, the software asks for a Password 'Enter the password to unlock your IPad backup' is the specific wording. What password does this refer to?,Apple ID password and Ipad 4-digit code didn't work.

Sounds like this backup is encrypted (a separate password option on your iPad Summary in iTunes) and if you don't know that password you can't install it for security reasons.

After being signed in to Facebook through Facebook toolbar, "request for permission" stays on the toolbar. Icons on toolbar do not work.

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Facebook toolbar but with same results.

This seems like a bug with the Facebook toolbar. You should contact them and ask about making sure it's up to date for Firefox 6.

Cable company's request for admin password?

Comcast is now offering phone service via cable modem in our area. Since I don't currently have a land line for phone and have relied on cell phone coverage for years, it seemed like a good idea to subscribe. Cable guy comes out, big new modem gets installed, and all seems well. Since I don't currently even own a phone other than a cell, he puts a splitter in the cable so both modems have service, telling me I can activate the new modem at my leisure.
So today, internet service gets interrupted and I'm directed to a Comcast homepage. Two options exist on the page: one for customers, and one for techs. So I click on the one for customers. Immediately a .dmg file begins to download. I'm a little amused that the host instantly knew that I needed a .dmg file as opposed to an .exe, but no matter. I move on and open the file. Lots of stuff goes on, and then I get the typical OSX dropdown asking for an admin password, as you would normally see when you install software. Therein lies the problem: there's nothing normal about this dropdown window. There's a little Comcast icon infused with the window, and I immediately get the impression that this install process on my hd isn't necessarily, entirely local. It seems to me that everything I'm doing at this moment is being shared with the host. And don't let me forget to add--the install process had already admonished me to disable any firewalls, which of course I didn't do.
If anyone has any experience with this and can assure me I'm just being paranoid, that would be great. I've already changed my admin password just to be safe. I just don't ever recall seeing any software specific icon associated with the OSX admin password request for an install, and being hardwired to the internet during this exercise just doesn't seem like a good idea!
-Mark

Just a little follow up on this thing...
I continue to have problems with the original modem; for a while now I've just used an air card for an internet connection, I was so disgusted with Comcast. Ever since I had installed (or started to install) their software, my airport wouldn't work. Today I downloaded an uninstaller and ran it, and whaddya know--my airport is back. I'm running on another network as we speak. I thought I had rid my hd of everything related to this Comcast software, but apparently not so until I ran the uninstaller.
Anyway, in the process the prompt window that I referred to in my original post came back up, and I thought I'd post a pic of it so you guys see what I was talking about:
Moral of the story is take care when you are prompted to install software from an internet provider.

ICloud password request at start-up

During the past week or so, I've noticed a persistent request panel that appears during startup and asks for my iCloud password. I've never seen this request before. The first time it happened, it was accompanied by several other password requests for Apple related items. Now it only asks for the iCloud password. Is this a new security feature?

No, it shouldn't be doing that. If this is happening on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in (your data will download back to your Mac). See if that stops the prompts for your password.

Password request keeps popping up in itunes

I know this question has been asked before, but how do you stop the password request for your Apple ID from popping up continuously in iTunes, even after you entered it?

Chances are that you have slightly different 'Artist' labels for those songs.
This could be as simple as 'The Rolling Stones' vs. 'Rolling Stones' or more difficult to spot due to leading or trailing blanks, such as:
' Rolling Stones' or 'Rolling Stones '.
You'll have to figure out your own specific situation.

Password rejected for KcSync

For some weird reason I get a password request for the computer for something called KcSync. Whichever password I've used over the years as my Mac password is never recognised and the dialogue box closes. I can't find KcSync anywhere on the Mac so can't figure out what this is all about.

Are you using dot Mac (MobileMe)?
This sounds like a "KeyChain sync" application error. I found this in an old macosx.com forum (probably related to Tiger, but the command itself still looks valid in Leopard):
After backing up important data, please proceed with the Master Keychain reset procedure. To reset the Master Keychain password, follow these instructions:
1. Open the Terminal application. Terminal is located at /Applications/Utilites/Terminal.
2. Type the following command:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SecurityFoundation.framework/Versions/A/Resources/kcS ync.app/Contents/MacOS/kcSync -reset
3. Review the text entered in the Terminal prompt to make sure it exactly matches what is listed above.
Note: You may find it easier to copy the complete command provided in Step 2 and then paste it into the Terminal application at the prompt as opposed to typing it.
4. Press the Enter key on your keyboard to execute the command
After the command has executed completely, you should receive feedback in the Terminal similar to this: "removing /Library/Keychains/.syncinfo/login.keychain.syncinfo.plist was successful."
5. Quit the Terminal application.
You may need to re-enable Keychain Synchronization an any synchronizing computer after taking these steps. Additionally it is possible that Keychain will prompt you to update your settings in a variety of applications. If prompted to update you settings, click the update button.
After following these steps and then ensuring .Mac Sync has been enabled in your .Mac System Preferences, you should be able to Sync normally.
Cheers,
Rodney

How do I get Creative Cloud.app to stop asking me for my old email address ?

How do I get Creative Cloud.app to stop asking me for my old email address that I do not have access to? I have reinstalled it several times and it stills asks for it! I spent several hours on Chat and my help specialist logged off before I had an answer to this issue. I'd prefer not to delete all of my files and apps associated with the CC suite. But I cannot update my apps without the panel letting me log in

OKay I finally found the answer- for some convoluted reason, you need to sign out from with an app from the help menu- Why is there not an option to signet on the app Panel?

Without proper system information and the application logs nobody can tell you much.
