After Updating My Mac Keeps Asking for Permission on Certain Apps

Hi guys,
I have this problem where my MBPr asks for permission repeatedly to allow one of my apps to access the internet after I updated to Yosemite (NOTE: I didn't have this problem on my previous versions of OS). It is listed on my firewall as allow incoming connections, and it doesn't make sense for me to have to keep allowing it.
It is also the same case with the app that I have allowed access to use the accessibility feature of my mac. Every time I launch, I have to give permission even though it is already listed on my accessibility preference to have permission.
This is what I have done to try to fix it but to no avail: Deleting the app from both of the allowed list and re-adding it again.
I use this app all the time, and having to repeat this process over and over and over again becomes irritating. I would like to have my MBPr to not have to require to keep asking me this, can anyone help me?
The app in particular is Steam.app
Have a great one guys,
Peace.

Go to your Utilities folder and open Keychain Access. Follow the steps here: Mac OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password.

  • Mac keeps asking for password to put apps in trash?

    Ever since I made a new account on my mac (which mind you, doesn't even have a password) Certain apps will go in the trash, and other apps will not go in the trash directly..you have to go into finder, trash, then it asks for your password. I don't ever remember having to do this before I made the new account, and it's very frustrating
    I have tried repairing permissions time and time again but to no avail. This annoys me so much I wish I could just reinstall the whole OS, but i don't have the disc. I'm using a late 2008 Macbook with snow leopard..any suggestions?
    The exact window that comes up says "Type your password to allow finder to make changes." in the details, it says "Right: com.apple.desktopservices" "Application: Finder". I haven't found anything on the internet that matches the same issue  have, so please help me. Thank you!

    I have a hunch that, for me, the issue is because I have two different accounts synced.  I have my parent's account for the App Store and my personal account linked to iCloud and all those services.  I've noticed that when I update apps, I would sometimes have to log out of one and into the other because one app might be on one account and not the other.  I'll get around to moving everything to one account sooner or later, but it isn't an immediate issue to me.  Just a minor inconvenience.

  • Well I have a new macbook pro and there is a software update available and after i update it, it keeps asking for the same thing to update over and over again! What can be done?

    The App Store version sometimes gives problems. As you can't install 10.8.4 from the App Store, download and install the Combo edition > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US This edition will work and will update OS X to the most recent version, in that case, 10.8.4

    I had just updated my Mac to 10.6.1. When it finished, I had tried to open up Itunes but it says it requires 10.6.8 or later. When i had tried to update my mac it asked for my adiminstartor password. I dont know my password. Any way to reset it without using a disc?

    Sure there is.
    1. restart your computer in Single User Mode (by pressing Command + S during boot - see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1492)
    This will boot your OS X system in a kind of command line mode.
    Note: this will not work if you have a Firmware password set.
    2. when in Single User Mode, enter the following command
    mount -uw /
    to mount your OS X file system.
    3. now you can enter the following command
    passwd username
    replacing "username" by your OS X user's short name. Then you will be prompted to enter the new password for that user. You will have to confirm that new password.
    Note that you will not see any character showing when you enter the new password; this is expected behaviour.

  • MIDlet keeps asking for permission

    I have created a MIDlet 2.0 using WTK 2.5.1, built it, packaged it and set the JAD midlet permissions to:
    MIDlet-1: nieuwetest, , HelloWorldPlusMIDlet
    MIDlet-Jar-Size: 3091
    MIDlet-Jar-URL: nieuwetest.jar
    MIDlet-Name: nieuwetest
    MIDlet-Permissions: javax.microedition.io.Connector.file.read,javax.microedition.io.Connector.file.write
    MIDlet-Vendor: Unknown
    MIDlet-Version: 1.0
    MicroEdition-Configuration: CLDC-1.0
    MicroEdition-Profile: MIDP-2.0Can anyone please tell me WHY both the emulator and my nokia N73 keep asking for permission to read/change files? Am I missing something?
    These are the imports I use:
    import javax.microedition.io.Connector;
    import javax.microedition.io.file.FileConnection;
    import javax.microedition.io.file.FileSystemRegistry;
    import javax.microedition.lcdui.Command;

    import javax.microedition.media.MediaException;
    import javax.microedition.media.Player;
    import javax.microedition.media.PlayerListener;
    import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet;Please help me out!

    The application keeps asking for each file whether it should allow reading it. Is it possible that this permission has to be granted only once?This seem to be possible only for signed MIDlets, although I am not completely sure.
    Per my reading of MIDP 2 security policy ([click here to check the full specification|http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/maintenance/jsr118/MIDP_2.0.1_MR_addendum.pdf]), your operations belong to Read User Data Access functional group. As far as I understand, policy allows Session and Blanket *) user settings for this group only if the MIDlet is signed.
    It looks like one can perform "trial signing" with WTK to test on emulator how real device would behave with real signed MIDlet. Your version of WTK (2.5.1, right?) has documentation on this, [click here for more details|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5348041&messageID=10508179#10508179].
    *) Session, Blanket and Oneshot user settings are explained in [this article|http://dsc.sun.com/mobility/midp/articles/permissions/] as follows: +"...For _oneshot_ permissions, the MIDP implementation retains no memory of the user's decision and will ask for a permission every time it is needed. For _session_ permissions, the implementation remembers the user's decision until the MIDlet is terminated. Finally, for _blanket_ permissions, the user's decision sticks until the MIDlet suite is uninstalled...."+

    After a restore,it keeps asking for another backup itunes login ?
    This never happened before the v8 upgrade ?
    How do i stop this ?

    Enter the Backup Encryption password that you created.
    If you did not enable the backup encryption, the backup is corrupt and cannot be used.

  • My Mac keeps asking for my "login" keychain after I changed my password on my Mac. How do I stop the popups?

    I forgot the password to my Mac, so I reset my password, and ever since then, there have been popups asking for my "login" keychain password. I enter it every time, but they still pop up. Also, my Mail keeps asking for the password to my email, and iMessage is on, but I can't receive any messages, and the window won't even pop up.
    Does anyone know the solution for this?

    Go to your Utilities folder and open Keychain Access. Follow the steps here: Mac OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password.

  • Creative Suite 6 Design Standard (for Mac) keeps asking for the Serial Number ... over and over!

    My iMac has a well-installed Creative Suite 6 Design Standard. I have a valid serial (purchased it) and it works fine. Every couple of months though the Adobe Application Manager pops up and asks me wether I want to continue the test-period or if I am willing to enter the serial number. So I dig into my papers and get the serial number out ... it is accepted every time and works fine then. But after some time - there we go again: I have to enter the number.
    I faced this issue a while ago and read that it was recommended to update the Application Manger - which I did. But ... still being bothered by these kinds of questions from time to time.
    What can I do?

  • Why does office for Mac keep asking for passwords?

    Very frustrating!!
    Not only can I sync Outlook for Mac with my i-phone contacts, Mail & Calandar, but it also keeps asking for email passwords.
    this now means the gmail accounts outlook for Mac is connecting to has kicked me out because too manny sign in's have occured.
    Why is something so simple, so complicated!!
    And another thig, can't connect to the SONOS app, was working perfectly, then just will not connect now!!
    Its a brand new Mac pro, working with Mavericks and making lifr differcult.
    Shall we go back to a PC?

    Please uninstall MacKeeper, this is considered malware for OS X. Google it and you will find many many negative things about it. MacKeeper has it's own uninstall utility to uninstall itself, please use it. OS X unlike MS Windows does not need third party apps to keep itself in good shape, no antivirus apps, no "cleaning" apps etc. The very best thing you can do for your computer is keeping it up-to-date by using Software Update and using a small amount of common sense. While there is a very small amount of malware out there for OS X using that common sense part will help, for example don't visit torrent sites and download illegal software, do not download anything from a pop-up that says, "You must..."
    In closing about MacKeeper please read this article by one of the more very knowledgeable people on these forums:

  • Firewall keeps asking for permission.

    Hi,
    I've enabled Firewall in OX 10.8 but everytime I open an application that can access the Internet, it keeps asking me that whether I want to allow permission the program to do or not. I checked Firewall in system preferences and it does have list of programs that I allowed to connect to Internet, so why it keeps asking everytime I open those programs?
    Thanks.

    Hi guys,
    I have the same problem and I just want to add my thoughts.
    Ok, fair enough, we don't need two firewalls.
    But here is the thing that concerns me. The issue for me is, this asking for permission didn't occur on my mac using mavericks and mountain lion. Why should it appear with Yosemite? I don't understand why it needs to ask for permission repeatedly when I have set the program to allow incoming connections from my firewall settings.
    It is also the same case with an app that I have allowed access to use the accessibility feature of my mac. Every time I launch, I have to give permission even though it is already listed on my accessibility preference to have permission. I use this app all the time, and having to repeat this process over and over and over again becomes irritating.
    As much as having two firewalls on at a time is not necessary, I believe it is even more not necessary for me have to go through the silly questions if I do chose to leave the firewall on (don't forget the accessibility) and have given permission to let these apps do what they do. To this, I vote that this issue should get some attention by mac and the community.
    Have a great one guys,
    Peace.

  • Since the iOS 8.3 update my iPad keeps asking for my old iTunes password(the account I don't use and can't reset as the e-mail address was hacked) As a result I can't update my apps because it reverts back to asking for my old iTunes password.

    Since 8.3 iOS update my iPad keeps asking my old iTunes password for an account I've disabled as my e-mail got hacked. As a result I can't update any of my apps ( I'm missing out on hay day) 

    Any content is tied to the account that you used to buy/download it - so if you created a new account as opposed to updating the existing one, then you will need to use the old account to download updates to its apps. Can you not update your old account so as to have a new email address on it (e.g. via this page) ?

  • Office mac keeps asking for license key with fusion drive

    I'm posting this in case anyone else is having this trouble where Office for Mac 2011 keeps asking for the license key. I have a later 2013 iMac with Fusion drive and never have been able to use office on this computer without entering the key. In talking with Microsoft they removed office and all the files and reinstalled with no help. In speaking with Apple, they said there is a known issue with Microsoft Office and the Fusion drive and Microsoft is working on a patch. Evidently the fusion drive moves the files around and to Microsoft that looks like new hardware so it prompts for the key. Realy annoying! Microsoft

    I'm a certified Apple consultant and I recently hit this issue at an installation. On seven iMacs with the Fusion drive, I deleted the "Thunderbolt Bridge" interface from the Network System Preference. We then rebooted the computers, entered the product key one more time, and so far, the problem has disappeared and survives subsequent rebootings.
    Obviously, if you are frequently networking two Macs using Thunderbolt, this isn't a good long-term solution (though it is easily added back). However, it does appear to work. I have no sound theory as to why it works, except that Office might be interpreting the existence of that bridge as evidence that the software was copied onto a machine instead of properly installed. This is just a wild guess, though.
    I have no idea if it will work for others, but hey, the forums are for throwing out these ideas and seeing if one of them sticks for most people. So...there it is.
