After installing Mt. Lion, Mail no longer asks for a password, even though I set preference for using a password.

After installing Mt. Lion 10.8.2, Mail no longer asks for a password before opening messages, even though I tried to set preferences for using the password. Help!

In Mail Preferences, Accounts item: I tried to delete the password (but that did not save). I got this idea from some Mail Help item that I cannot seem to find again. I cannot recall how I did it in Snow Leopard, but I had it set to ask for a password that was used solely for Mail. It would not download anything until I entered that password. Note: I am not on a network; just the single user of the MacPro. Thank you for any guidance you might be able to offer.

  • After installing Mountain Lion, Expose no longer works.

    After installing Mountain Lion, Expose no longer works.

    Unfortunately the Expose feature as you know it from Snow Leopard was removed by Apple in Lion and Mountain Lion.
    You can make all windows for an app 'expose' by putting the cursor on the Dock icon and using a 4-finger swipe-down.

  • After installing Mountain Lion Webdisk no longer work.

    I am relatively new to Macs. I finally bit the bullet and purchased a new iMac to use for my photography. And I LOVE it!
    The only problem I'm having with the upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion is the inability for my WebDisk that is no longer working.
    I've been getting two errors.
    "Check the server name or IP address, and then try again. If you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator."
    and
    "You must accept the servers certificate to connect! Please try again"
    Any suggestions?

  • After installing Mt Lion, can no longer open Word docs. What can I do to fix this?

    How do I open my old Word docs with Mountain Lion?

    Upgrade to Office 2008 or better, or use a product such as TextEdit, Pages, or OpenOffice to open them.

  • My iPhone is disabled after I downloaded iOS7. They are asking me a passcode even I never set up.

    I never set up a passcode on my iPhone 4 why they are asking me to do?
    My iPhone is still disabled since I downloaded iOS 7 this morning.

    That happened to me and it was a mess, install it at work with there wifi and it disabled my phone.  I do not have internet at home or a computer, just my iphone and ipad.  You will nee either itunes and a computer, or you will have to have your ime number, then you have to erase your phone. to do that you go to find my phone and it will give you that option.  Then when you erase your phone, then you have to call your carrier and they hook it up again to the inernet.   Those are the only two ways you can do it.  If you have icloud already you don't lose everything just your music.  your apps just go to update and you can reload them again.

  • Can I install PS Elements 13 on both of my home computers even though I will only be using one computer at a time?

    I have a large projection system in our family room where I often show photos so I would like to use Elements 13 for providing the slide show.  However, I use my office computer to do my of regular computer work and would like to also have Elements 13 installed on there as I learn how to use it and often organize my photos.  Can I install a single purchased copy of the program on both computers?

    Thank you

  • After installing mountain lion the local mail boxes disappeared

    after installing mountain lion the local mail boxes disappeared.

    This is my problem too:
    All of my local mailboxes (On my Mac) disappeared from the sidebar.  However, I do not have the 'triangle' on the Inbox that I can turn to reveal the list of mailboxes -- that disappeared too (and nothing happens when I hover over "Inbox").  I do know that the mailboxes are still there, somewhere, because when I go to create a New Mailbox, I can navigate to "On My Mac" and the entire mailbox list shows up there in the dropdown.  How do I get them back onto my sidebar if the option to do that is no longer on the "Inbox" icon?

  • I am having mail problems after installing Mountain Lion

    The mail doesn't work properly and the cursor freezes up and I get the color wheel whenever I start typing and have to wait for it to catch up.  All this started after downloading the wonderful upgrade Mountain Lion.  Is there a way to go back.  I was happier then.

  • Can No Longer Get Camera Photos After Installing Mountain Lion

    After installing Mountain Lion, I am no longer am able to see pictures from my digital camera thru the USB port.  This camera has worked for years with my iMac, but not anymore.  Anybody else having this issue after installing the newest system?
    Dick

    Paul_31:
      I have not tried to import the photos directly into iPhoto.  However, I did remove the SD card from the camera and plug it into a USB card reader, and my iMac would NOT read the photos that way either.  I took the camera and plugged it into my Win. 7 laptop and the pictures showed up nicely, so I know the camera and the card are Ok.  My iMac has been working strangely since I installed Mountain Lion.  I'm getting lockups using iMovie too.

  • After installing Mountain Lion two drives on my network cannot be accessed.  I am using Parallels to utilize QuickBooks ERP.  The programs and data are on the drives that I can no longer access.  Suggestions?

    After installing Mountain Lion on my Mac Book Pro, I can no longer access two shared drives.  Diagostics cannot solve the problem.  I am using Parallels to run Qucikbooks ERP on these shared drives.  How do I get my Mac to see these drives and access them?

    Don't know what to tell you, but I also have an AEBS-Gen5 with a MBP Retina and Mac Mini using WiFi. Both are running Mountain Lion and I don't have any WiFi connection issues. Two iPhones in the household use WiFi with no issues along with a printer and 2 Windows 7 laptops.
    First thing I would try is to shutdown all computers connected to the AEBS. Then power off the AEBS and finally the cable/DSL modem. Then reverse the order and power on the cable modem, wait for all the lights to be solid, power on the AEBS, wait for the light to show solid green; then power up a computer that uses WiFi.
    If the above doesn't work, you might try repairing permissions via Disk Utility. If that doesn't help maybe a PRAM reset would work.

  • After installing Mountain Lion on my 17" MBP G-RAID mini connected via Tempo SATA Edge ExpressCard34 is no longer recognized. I restored icon and access by removing 34 card and substituting FW800 for eSATA. Any fix for the higher speed connection? TIA

    Looks like the Silicon Image drivers were moved to the incompatible software folder during install/upgrade.
    Downloaded latest drivers, errored out of install claiming that the drivers were from an unknown author!!!
    Emailed their tech support this evening describing problem.

  • Does anyone have an email client that is working with Mountain Lion? I'm giving up on Mail after installing Mountain Lion

    Hi
    I give up.  I just cannot see my exchange inbox in Mail after installing Mountain Lion.  My mail is not being deleted.  Its still in my inbox I just can't see it. I've tried everything suggested on the forums and nothing is working for me.
    My productivity has completely stalled and I really need to move to an email client that is going to work seamlessly with Mountain Lion. 
    Any recommendations?

    I have the same problem. Upgraded to ML, and my Mac Mail suddenly can't communicate with Gmail's SMTP server.
    I have been having the SAME problem with ALL my Gmail accounts with Mail.app - It is very annoying, especially when you have clients and other important email to respond to.  So you're definitely NOT alone in this department.
    Might have to go back to Thunderbird or something until this gets fixed, which is going to really suck because I have 5000+ emails along with all my Email Folders in Mail not too mention the Rules I have had setup for years!
    AND with the RSS Feeds NOT working in BOTH Mail and Safari!  That was a HUGE MISTAKE and defintely a STEP BACKWARDS on whoever's idea that was for sure!

  • Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software update, startup disk, iCloud, etc. no longer will launch. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use. No go!

    Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software Update, Startup Disk, iCloud, Time Machine, Notifications, etc. no longer will launch even though they do show their icons in the system preferences window. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use with a "Cancel" or "OK" choice. After I click on "OK" the window just keeps reappearing with the same choices and the pane I wish to use still remains inoperative. Third party preference panes DO work.
    Reinstalling OSX Mountain Lion did not help. Neither did throwing away preferences.plist.

    Hi Jeff,
    Tried to reply with my iPhone but not easy! Anyway, back on the laptop now. Yes the crash was bad but Tek support at Prism Sound was really good. In the end I rebuilt the whole system on a new disk which took a couple of days with all the plugins, softsynths etc.... but there seemed to be no alternative in my case, and this was agreed with Prism sound as being the only alternative left to me. I still don't really know what caused the crash but ML and Orpheus are both working fine now. Let's face it, you'll have to update at sometime..maybe best to pick some time between projects On balance, I suspect that my problems were unique to my system and that your installation will go ok.
    Hope it goes well,
    Rick

  • Some USB ports no longer working after installing Mountain Lion?

    Some of my USB ports are no longer working after installing Mountain Lion onto my 21' 2011 iMac. I used to plug in my iphone 4S and charge it, or transfer files onto my iPad but none of the ports no longer work to do this. Funnily enough, other equipment plugged into the works. I have tried changing the cable. Any ideas?

    In my experience, the USB ports on the back of an Apple monitor can be re-enabled simply by unplugging and plugging back in the device in question. You might also check to see that the USB Monitor hub shows up in System Profiler. My Apple monitor USB ports experienced no changes in moving to 10.4.7.
