10.10.3 update caused Mail requesting admin login

I installed 10.10.3 update on my Yosemite yesterday.
whenever I try to send out an email from Mail, I get the following message.
OS X wants to make changes. Type an administrator's name and password to allow this.”
This never happened before, no settings changed after the upgrade at all therefore it was caused by the update.
Is this a kind of bug something i can fix?

Well. I've heard great things about Chrome, so if that fixes the issues for you guys -- cool. Stick with it, until FF is fixed or Apple does something to fix the issue.
For me, Chrome wasn't that much faster, like everyone said it would be, and after the complete reset of FF, I'm back in business and really liking 10.6.3
Here is how to start FF in safe-mode:

Update caused mail 4.6 to reject pgptools add on

I performed an update on Oct-2-2012 and it appears after the update of the security software "security update 2012-004" my Mail 4.6 reports "incompatible plug-ins disabled, mail has disabled the following plug-ins gpg" See enclosure.
Has anyone had this problem with this new update?

I just did a security update and got the same message regarding MiniMail and MsgFiler. Still searching for a solution to this.

Latest Update Causes Mail to Crash

I ran "software update" yesterday and now Mail crashes randomly (it NEVER crashed before). I thought is was from previewing messages with "bad" HTML code, but turning off message preview didn't help. Sometimes it crashes while reading new messages, sometimes while composing. There are conflicting approaches to fixing the Mail crash problems: re-install the OS (wth?), delete files in preferences folders, make a new user account, re-install the app. I have been sending a bazillion crash reports to Apple, it would be nice if I knew if other people were having the same issue, if there will be a fix, and what the best approach to fixing the problem should be. For now I will rely on web mail to access the account.

Hi,
Was this the software update that included updating 10.5.5 to 10.5.6? If so, this issue may have arisen for you either because of two Mail plugins that no longer work or because there are more than one copy of Mail on your Mac. First see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2486
and then
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mail_Update
The latter special update will be offered in Software Update, but perhaps only if you make sure to remove any extra copies of the Mail app. The extra copy, is often found in the Previous System folder. Use Spotlight to look for multiple copies.
Let me know what you find.

Latest iPhone update causes mail download to fail

I just doownloaded the latest iPhone update and it seems to be fine syncing one of my gmail accounts, but will not sync the main account. I've shut down and restarted several times and have also verified my data is correct but it still doesn't seem to fix it.

Did some searching - found this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5677640?start=0&tstart=0 which recommended starting in safe mode, repairing disk permissions, and reinstalling the update with the offline installer, which worked.

Update to Mail

I don't use Mail (using Thunderbird instead for my email).
However when I woke up this morning, the Mail application was running, and over top was a dialog saying that Mail had been updated and asking me if I wanted to let the items in Keychain be used for the updated version.
So my question is: Why is an update to Mail handled differently from all other updates, by happening automatically instead of having Software Updater come up, tell me there is an update available, and asking me if I want to proceed with the update, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, asking me for my administrator password before allowing it to happen?
Mail now reports version Version 2.1 (752/752.2) - I have no idea what is was before.

So the question is, what happened to your computer
overnight that opened Mail.app, which triggered the
Keychain update request?
As far as I know nothing! The iMac is in the bedroom so my typical behaviour at bedtime is to quit all running apps (leaving just Finder and Dashboard indicated by the Dock "triangles", of course). I do not shut down the iMac, nor do I let it sleep (as I am still not certain whether the routines that are supposed to clean things up in the wee hours will do that if the computer sleeps.) But I do have the display set to sleep after 1/2 hour (so the room is allowed to go dark.)
I may open Mail only once or twice a month (to make sure Apple or spammers havn't filled my inbox (I do have it configured for my .mac mail account but don't typically ever use that.)
There was a thread yesterday with a link to AppleInsider that suggested Apple had left out some stuff in the original 10.4.7 update and would be re-issuing the update, which raised the question about how those of us who grabbed the early 10.4.7 upgrade would get the missing stuff. That made me think that this Mail update was snuck in as part of that process. But it concerned me that I wasn't required to put in my administrator password before any changes could occur by an external source.
Your comments prompted me to dig deeper just now. I know I updated to 10.4.7 on June 27 - Looking in System Profiler it says Mail was last modified on June 27 which is consistent with what you have told me. So if Mail was NOT updated overnight, indeed, what caused it to open itself (as I slept) and trigger the keychain event? (and no, there are no sleepwalking kids or cats that might have hit the keyboard while I slept.)
So I dug even deeper. Nothing in my Mail inbox except a "Welcome to .Mac" email that Apple sent me on Feb. 9 But what I did find in the sent box was an Alarm notification originated by an iCal reminder (another rarely used app, as my life is too simple to require a lot or reminders), sent by Mail to my "normal" email account (which I view via Thunderbird). Not using Mail or iCal on a regular basis I didn't know that having an iCal reminder sent would open up Mail. Case solved, I guess. (to my relief.)
Thanks again, David, for your thoughts that put me onto this.

When trying to update my Mail Account Mailbox Behaviours settings, after making the changes when I try to close the settings pane the following messages occur: Invalid Incoming Mail Server The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty. The incoming mail server box has in light grey colour: p02-imap.mail.me.com in it and I cannot edit its content. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

Hi all,
Mattreichenbach is probably on the right track here with a reset of settings. I think I've determined the issue has to do with cached account information and inconsistencies for the account name. This seems to crop up when I've changed my password and it hasn't propagated fully to all the servers, devices, certificates, etc.
Hopefully many here are on their way to restoration of service by now but it's clear that a lot of people are having the same issues. Very frustrating and definitely something Apple needs to resolve: incoming mail server field grayed out, incorrect autopopulation of different fields, other unanticipated behaviors. If you're still having issues, though, here's what worked for me...
First, head to the iCloud preferences pane in System Configuration and choose "Sign Out". When I did this it prompted me with a number of "are you sure" type questions about retaining information on my local machine. I chose to delete/remove the info each time simply because it should all be restored by the cloud and I didn't want to risk a massive duplication of my data... I will say, I'm back up and running with no issues so I suspect you can make the same delete/remove choices... But use your own judgment. I don't want you to lose any data (ie.. please use care as you do this because I cannot bear the thought of causing anyone to experience the pain of data loss).
Once you've signed out of iCloud, restart your system. When you get back in, head to the Mail, Contacts and Calendars section of your System Preferences and add your account back by choosing the brushed aluminum "iCloud" button. When it asks for your account name, use your @iCloud.com email address. I am all but certain my issue had started because one of my devices (iPhone or whatever) had been set up with an email alias specified instead of my @iCloud.com address.
Apple, if you're reading through any of these issues (there are TONS of users having this same problem). Take note, that your icloud service somewhat frequently is not responding and yet tells the user that the password is wrong and this prompts people to be changing their passwords unnecessarily. This has happened to me on numerous occasions. Also, I noticed that last week's outage corresponded to a VERY similar outage exactly one year ago to the day. Sounds like planned maintenance to me and I think you could do a better job notifying folks so we're not wasting HUGE amounts of time troubleshooting a problem that we have no hope of fixing.
Hope that helps some of you!

Latest Java Update - accidentally dismissing the admin/password dialog box at the end.

I did a Software Update on around April 14 (including this update) and at the END OF THE PROCESS, I was presented with a dialog box with an admin login and password. At this moment, I accidentally hit the ESC key and dismissed the dialog box. Then, I restarted my Mac and hoping that I can repeat the same process again, but however it says there are no more updates. I did a "java -version" and it says it using Update 31.
What was that dialog box requesting the admin/username at the end of the process? Was it affecting anything significant (or something not installed) because I accidentally dismissed it?
(I am using my mac from a "Standard" (not "Adminstrator") account.)
Kevin.

Download it from the apple site and run the installer that way:
Java for OS X Lion 2012-003
If you didn't give the installer the admin password it didn't install. So doing an explicit download and installing that way should work. Of course that too will ask for your admin password.

GC reason: Other, cause: Memleak Request Data

Hi all,
We recently ran into 100% heap allocation issue. In the output obtained with memdbg we get to see mentions of ' GC reason: Other, cause: Memleak Request Data'
Question(s):
1) does this means there is a memleak (the name seems to suggest it but maybe there is another interpretation).
2) when I started a memleak session with jrmc the heap was heavily GC-ed and dropped to 50% (no longer in production of course)
So, was it really a memleak then? I would imagine a real memleak would not go away simply by doing a GC. And if it is not a mem leak why did the GC not kick in anymore? We left the jvm unchanged for more that a week and it did not do a single gc all the time!
Jrockit gurus, your input was never more appreciated ;)
Best regards,
Johan

On #1 - The Memleak tool can sometime force a GC to collect heap stats, I believe this is what your log message means. It more commonly works in a passive mode, waiting for a GC to happen and then collecting data as part of the normal GC cycle. I don't know when a GC is forced - maybe when you press one of the "update" buttons inside of Memleak?
On #2 - The forced GC probably cleaned up a bunch of garbage, which left the heap with more free space.
So: No, this behavior does not indicate a memory leak (you may or may not have one, of course).

Valid Records Update, Reporting Possible (Request Green)

Hi, My company operates change run every night.
Yesterday, an error occured when loaded data from DSO to cube.
I guess that there was strange character BW can't recognize.
Because error had been handled too late, a whole chain was delayed.
I don't want that this situation happen again.
I want to skip the error records so that change run can be operated on schedule.
As I know, It is possible by using "Valid Records Update, Reporting Possible (Request Green)" option on DTP.
But, I heard that when I apply this option, there will be no error logs. Is it right?
I think It can cause the problem of data consistency.
So, I have question.
1. Can I get error logs using "Valid Records Update, Reporting Possible (Request Green)" option?
2. Is there any other way to know existence of invalid records (even if chain skip that record)
3. If question 1 or 2 are not possible, can an customizing abap program perform this action?
Thank you.

Hi,
can you discribe what's your master data check is like. Propably not your skip record exception is rissen but another exception by sap standard masterdata check. It's behviour may differ from the skip record exception you are expecting.
Check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/fbd598481e1a61e10000000a422035/content.htm for other types of exception by SAP errorhandling.

Upgrade to Lion: Mail is not compatible and won't open. How do i reinstall an updated version Mail?

So, I'm currently trying to update my parent's computer and in the process of updating their Mail application it has become unusable. My computer at home (not my parents computer) ran into the same problem before I updated to Lion and deleting the preferences for Mail solved it. Plus, I have read previous posts about this similar problem and a typical troubleshooting solution was to delete the Mail preferences.
After all of my software updates (Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and deleting the preferences for Mail, I still receive the same error message when trying to open the application. "Mail can't be used on this version of mac OS X. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications foler on your computer." My applications folder has not been adjusted, edited or even touched from it's original state in the dock/home folder.
I contacted AppleCare support and they advised me to reformat my computer. I think that's a little... unneccesary?? It's just Mail that isn't working. The rest of the applications (e.g. Safari, Address Book, iPhoto, etc.) open just fine.
After a second call to AppleCare, they had advised me differently than before. Once they found out that my personal computer has Mac OS X Lion installed from the App Store, they suggested I simply upgrade my parents computer to Lion.
So, I used my download from the App Store and upgraded. It went smoothly, but Mail still will not open properly. And instead of the original error message, it comes up with this:
"Check with your developer to make sure Mail can work with your version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Check if there are any updates available for the application."
How can I re-install just Mail? A startup disk is not accessible for me right now. Can I download the latest version of Mail and install it from the Apple.com website?

Do we get money back if it no longer opens?
Certainly not without going through basic troubleshooting steps first. Many times some basic troubleshooting will fix things. If you haven't tried anything yet, you cannot say for sure that the app will not work at all.
There are a number of things in here that you can try.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
In a worst case scenario, you can always delete the app and download it again and see if it will work. You will not be charged again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought the app with.

Links to web page in any mail message will cause Mail app to hang, and won't open Safari.

Repeatable problem on iPhone or iPad.
Any link to a web page will cause Mail to lock up and become unresponsive, and won't open the web page in Safari.
The only way out of this is to back out to the home screen, double-click on the home button, then select the Mail app icon, holding it until I can "close" it. I can then relaunch Mail and look at any message I want just like normal. But if select any link, whether a text link or a picture in an email, the whole thing happens again.
Occurs on both my iPhone 5 and my iPad both running iOS 6.0.1.
Any suggestions that will allow me to go directly from a mail msg to a linked web page embedded within?

You ran a defective third-party "utility" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:

OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:
The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
Quite annoying. I restored the mini from a recent backup to 10.4.9. Problem gone.
I'm glad I test updates on the mini before applying them to my Intel iMac 24. I guess I'll just hide & watch what happens before doing any more updates.
Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:
Guys/Gals (OS X Engineers):
Concerning the Snap, Crackle Pop Audio problem in the 10.4.10 update:
Please. Just do the right thing and fix the audio.
There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on the laptop line.
And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".

Libby,
Backup is unable to make a restorable by Disk Utility backup. You can restore pieces of the software as outlined in my FAQ about backing up user data:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
But to be able to restore a backup with Disk Utility, you need a cloning utility to have made the backup.
I suggest starting a new thread here, where someone else could help you out better:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=752&start=0
First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.

Updating only when using Admin mode (since 3.6) and "ghosting" leaving images of others sites, apps, even pdfs I have opened in a browsing session that you can see when you shut FF down.

I can update FF while in admin mode but when I switch back to my user log-in it says I still need to update and has been this way since 3.6 at least.
FF is also leaving ghost images from other apps as it is shut down you can see, not sure if it is a memory leak or what but it is a little annoying.
