Asking for information when opening a template

I made a bunch of custom templates for Numbers, but I got stuck trying to add a very essential and useful feature.
Would it be possible to request certain information when a new template is opened?
For example:
There are cells that hold information about a client. There's one for their address, one for their name, city, etc.
It'd be a lot simpler if I could ask for that information when the template is opened and directly insert it into the respective cells.
Thanks in advance.

Numbers does not have any way to do this. I think the best you can do is to place notes in the template the "prompt" the user to fill in certain information just through the presentation...

MBP not consistently asking for password when opening lid

While I'm an IT consultant with 30+ years in the PC world, I'm relatively new to the Mac world having just bought my first Mac, a rMBP 13" Late 2013. While I tend to be pretty decent with troubleshooting, I'm having a sporadic issue with it that I'm not sure how to solve.
My desire is to have the unit always ask for a password whenever the lid is opened.
The problem is that about one out of every ten times, when I open the lid on the Macbook it just unlocks and goes straight to the desktop without asking for a password. Being in IT, and frankly maintaining a lot of confidential/security information for my clients, I'm hesitant to take this unit out of the office until I can resolve this issue once and for all. 9/10 times it opens up to the lock screen and asks for my password, which is what I want. But three times in the past week, it has opened straight to the desktop, ready for use. This is a security concern--if the unit is stolen I don't EVER want anyone to be able to log into it and see the data on it. But if it's just opening straight to the desktop it circumvents that protection.
Under Security and Privacy, I have "Require password 5 seconds after sleep or screen saver begins" set, along with (grayed/checked) "Show a message when the screen is locked" and "Disable automatic Login" set. Each of the times I've noticed the lack of password has been after the lid was closed for a while, definitely more than an hour. Earlier today, it happened after te notebook had been closed for at least several hours. It's happened both with the power connected, and running on battery.
Any ideas? Thanks.

If after you set the Require Password immediately and it still doesn't ask for the password then your Mac is not going into Sleep mode when the lid is closed. I have seen this happen on my 2011 model after it has been running for days, sleeping and awake for those days. I'lll close the lid at night or when I leave for work and the front white light will come on but not flash, on for a few seconds then off for a few.
A restart fixes it but I never had this problem when Lion or Mt Lion were installed. Only since going to Mavericks. I haven't checked it lately since 10.9.2 but I will. I usually shut it down now when I know I'm not going to use for a period of hours.

Terminal Window asking for password when opening

I don't know what happens but everytime I open a terminal window its ask me for password. If I type my admin password it starts saying that can't found my ~ directory and starts in :/ instead of :~
It is also showing ttys001 instead of 000 as usual.
I don't know what it is, I think it have some relation with closing terminal windows without logging out of a ssh section, but I don't know how to resolve it. I tried reboot, "exit", delete com.apple.terminal
Any sugestion?

This is just a wild guess, but might there be a "sudo" command in a file in your home directory that's run when you launch a Terminal session, such as .bash_profile, .bash_login, or .profile? (This list assumes that you're using bash as your shell.)

After update to 10.9 Why does mail always ask for password when opening

I have updated my iMac to 10.9 and now every time I open Mail, I have to type in my password. Does anyone know why or how to fix?

In the iCloud pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked Mail and check it again.

TS1389 My PC repeatedly asks for authorization when I open I-tunes library, I have tried ALL the suggestions in help, but to no avail. Anyone got another remedy I could try please?

My PC repeatedly asks for authorization when opening I-tunes library (wont let me play tunes), have tried ALL the suggestions to remedy authorization but to no avail. Anyone got any other suggestions I could try please? I would have thought I-tunes itself should come up with a precise answer to this sort of problem after all this time??

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.

My current shows in all the correct places but when asked to verify, the old card is referenced. I changed the card in itunes and on my phone and ipad.

Firefox keeps asking for password when I send emails

Firefox version 35.0. When I open Firefox and get messages, no problems. When I write an email and send, Firefox asks me for password. I am able to send/receive emails while open. If I close Firefox and open, it asks for password when I send. Months ago, I changed my login password to Netzero.com (made it more secure). Since then, I've had this annoying password request. How to satisfy the login server password for receiving/sending emails?

Is it Firefox asking for the password, or the web site? The only time that
FF will ask for a password is if you have the '''Master Password''' active
in the '''Password Manager.'''
Open the '''Password Manager.''' There is a search bar at the top of the
page. Enter the name of the site. Press the button '''Show Passwords.'''
Is the information correct? '''Note:''' there may be more then one entry.
'''Left''' click the icon in the address bar. A window for displaying site information should come up. Select '''More Information.''' At the top of the window, select '''Security.''' Now select '''View Saved Passwords.'''

Getting Prompt for Credentials When Opening InfoPath 2010 Form in Sharepoint 2010

I have a domain user who runs Office 2010 x32 and uses a Sharepoint 2010 site daily. Lately a specific page on that site has been randomly giving prompts for credentials when opening existing documents and creating new ones. The process can be most easily
replicated by opening the new document template in Infopath by going to Documents -> New in the ribbon bar of the SP page. Most of the time the Windows credentials for the user are passed to Infopath/Sharepoint automatically (which is normal), but on the
fourth or fifth attempt to create a new form, the prompt appears. The user can still enter the credentials and open the blank template form, but a prompt should not appear. The user is also the administrator for that page, so I'm thinking it's not a permissions
issue.
The user is running IE 9 on Windows 7 Pro x64. I have performed the following:
Reset advanced IE settings and all user cache data
Cleared cached Sharepoint credentials in Windows credential manager
Re-applied group policy for the machine using gpupdate /force
Logged in with a clean temporary profile
Logged in to another domain account using the user's Sharepoint credentials
Cleared Infopath cache
Re-installed Office 2010 x32
The problem only occurs only on this particular machine. There are no Sharepoint or authentication-related errors or warnings in the application and system event logs. There are also no error messages on-screen when the prompt appears. I also considered
the possibility of this being a performance related issue in the case that maybe Infopath was taking too long to start, causing the credential pass-through process to time out and fall back to a prompt. I ran disk cleanup, deleted some temporary files, and
checked for excessive CPU/memory load. I didn't find any issues and doing these things did not help.
I'm convinced there is another setting somewhere in Windows that is causing this. Interestingly it always happens after four or five attempts, never the first time. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi Titan, this sounds like an IE security setting issue. Things to do:
1. In Internet options>Security>Local Intranet, make sure "Enable Protected Mode" is not selected.
2. Under Sites>Advanced, add https://*.sharepoint.com (and make sure "Require server verification..." is not checked).
3. Under Security>Custom Level, scroll all the way to the bottom and make sure "Automatic logon with current user..." is checked.

HT5858 Why does my iPad and iPhone ask for verification when downloading free apps

What does my iPad ask for verification when trying to download free app from App Store

You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password. Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal. When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
resetpassword
and press Enter. When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account. Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save. Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
And you have a new password for your account.

"Contacting server for information" when selecting a mail that has already been read

In Outlook 2013 using an Imap/google account I very often the message “Contacting server for information” when selecting a mail that has ALREADY been read. I am not trying to forward or reply just simply selecting the mail. Why is the program trying to get
information from the server that it already did receive once?
How do I get Outlook to stop this ridicules behavior?

Hi,
Does this issue happen on each email you selected?
Outlook displays this message whenever it needs to load content in your email, but the required content is being downloaded slowly or there is a connectivity issue with the content location.
Please try to go to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Automatic Download and untick the check box labelled "Don’t Download Pictures Automatically in HTML E-mail Messages or RSS Items". Click OK and then test again.
In addition, if the email has a linked image, the image will not be downloaded locally on the system and it will be downloaded every time you open the email.
Besides, some third-party add-in may also cause such issue. Please try to open Outlook in safe mode and check if this issue continues. To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook /safe and press Enter.
Please let me know the result.
Regards,

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows 7. I need to re-install it because my computer crashed. I saved the outer box, but I do not see a serial number and it is asking for it when I am trying to install the CD software. I went online, but the only serial number I see is when I registered the Photoshop Elements 2.0.

The serial number will be on the disc case, not the outer box. Find your serial number quickly

Is this a pre-paid card thing? Or different billing address than your iTS account?
