Can iBook require password when lid is opened?

I can get it to ask for a password at startup and if I manually log out (from Accounts control panel), but I can't seem to figure out how to require a password when it wakes from sleep. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Heidi

Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for

I keep getting a message "The MobileMe IMAP server ... rejected the password for ...." I can use that password when I go to iCloud, but my e-mails won't download to my computer. What's the mix-up?

If the setting is greyed out perhaps you have restrictions enabled that would prevent someone from changing accounts. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Changes>Accounts.

Nothing to complex...simple 3 way color corrector, occasional curves filters.
I am constantly waiting for the timeline to update as I move around....sometimes as long as a minute or so.

Gray screen shows after sleep when lid is open

Sometimes when my computer falls asleep when the lid is open, I try to wake it up and it shows as a gray screen. The only thing I can do is force a shutdown at this point. I usually have some USB device plugged in when it happens, but it's a different USB device every time.

Is there a way to non-destructively remove this magnet from my 17" PowerBook (older one with 1440x900 display)? I don't like that my PowerBook sleeps when I close it, and I've asked Apple if there is a way to disable this functionality. Short of plugging in an external display, they told me no.
This option is built in to the Windows OS, and I've grown quite accustomed to putting my laptops to sleep manually. I'd really like to be able to have the lid closed and still let programs run, downloads continue, etc.

Can't recall password when connecting 2 Macs via Firewire (Snow Leopard)

In Leopard I used to be able to connect my iMac and my Macbook to each other with a Firewire cable and share/move large files between them. Since the upgrade to Snow Leopard when I connect the two machines up I'm prompted to enter a password which I can't recall setting. I've tried all my usual password variants to no avail
Is there anyway I can find the password that I set or can I change one of them?
EDIT: If I connect as a Guest I can see the shared folder on my machines (I have Filesharing turned on). An easy workaround would probably be to add the folders I need to play with to the Filesharing list but I'm more concerned about the password issue

10.4.9 Killed "Require Password when waking from sleep"

My MacBook Pro 2.33 will no longer ask for my password when waking from sleep. (Photoshop CS2 was also hanging on launch, but a permission repair fixed that). This is troublesome.

Hi,
There is an answer for that already

How can i require password to be input when accessing mail

I don't want to be able to access mail without putting in a password. How do I set this?

What I've done is set my iPad up so that it auto-locks after 15 minutes of not being used, requiring a passcode to get back in. You can set it up for more or less time. While it isn't as convenient as having a password required for the email specifically, it does help protect it a little bit.
You may know this already, but you can also set your iPad up to require that you manually retrieve your email. Again, not as good as having a password, but at least the messages don't suddenly appear.

MBP often refuses to wake from sleep when lid is opened.

Hello!
Well, my MBP (2.2 Ghz, 15", Core2, 2 weeks old, 10.5.2) has been having trouble. That is, when I close the lid, the MBP properly sleeps. However, when I open the lid, it sometimes (Maybe as much as 40-50% of time!) won't wake up. The screen stays black, the keys won't do anything, and the sound wont' come on, but the sleep light turns off - as if it woke up. If I close the lid, it happily sleeps.
The only way out of this "mode" is to hold the power button for a forced-shutdown, and reboot. Its become worse after the 10.5.2 update. In addition, if I select "Sleep" from the apple menu before I close the lid, it seems to sleep and wake properly. On the other hand, if I just close the lid, it often won't wake up properly.
How can I fix this?
Thanks, Dan

Hi Daniel, I haven't had any significant sleep problems with my own MBP, but in general with other models sleep problems often come down to:
1) third party hardware 'add ons" (USB, FW, BlueTooth or ethernet) that "poll" the computer when it is either going to sleep or waking up. Some USB hubs and USB based ADSL modems were particularly notorious for this a little while back, but other devices, even memory sticks, have been known to produce such issues too. So if you have anything else connected see if the problems persists when it has been removed.
2) Third party "background" software, especially drivers associated with USB and bluetooth devices. Some earlier Logitech keyboard and mouse software could do this, for example.
3) Some specific other software that loads at startup - virus checkers, things like iStat, HD integrity checkers etc.
Remove all externals and then start up in "Safe Mode" (to disable log-in items etc - see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392 for more info), and see if the problem persists.
If it still occurs you may have a problem with a third party 'haxy" of some kind which has actually modified your system files.
Cheers

GX740 monitor won't turn on when lid is opened and weird HDD specs?

This is the second GX740 I have received after returning the first one due to a defective hard drive.
I have changed all the power options so that closing the lid does nothing except switch off the lid. However, when I close the lid and reopen it, the screen won't turn back on. The system itself is still on and working though (ie. cpu running, harddrives running) but its just the screen that won't turn on. The only thing I can do is hit the on/off button, which I have set to go to sleep. The funny thing is that when I hit the on/off button again and bring the pc out of sleep mode, the screen will start functioning normally (ie. when I close it and reopen it, the screen will turn on) but if I switch it off or restart it, then the monitor will not turn on when the lid is closed and opened again.
Also another very strange thing I noticed is that although my harddrive is a 320gb 7200rpm WD drive, the model number in Device manager is WD6400BEVT - which I'm guessing is the number for the 640gb drive?! This hasn't caused any problems so far but it seems very odd to me and I am just wary of complications in the future as I returned the first GX740 I got due to a defective harddrive
Also, I have updated windows 7 completely.
Any ideas?

Please consider taking a look at this faq article: http://support.msi.eu/faq/index.php?sid=446722&lang=en&action=artikel&cat=188&id=115&artlang=en
It does seem the same issue and for that you should update the graphic drivers and VBIOS. You can find them here: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=searchresult&keywords=GX740&table=download
Vbios is under Firmare and VGA drivers under Drivers.
Good luck.

Can I require password to Firefax on my home computer so that a guest can use my computer without being able to access Firefox and my most frequent Websites and my automatic passwords?

Basically I want to let someone use my desktop computer at home without that person being able to pry into my Google email, Firefox bookmarks, etc. I want to leave computer on because I want remote access when I travel.
If you have a solution that does not require a Firefox finesse, please let me know that too.
P.S. As is obvious, I am moderately, but I believe, not hopelessly , computer-challenged. Simple is best.
P.P.S. I don't know whether it is relevant, but I have not even set up a home page.

It is best to setup a separate Guest Windows account for that user and protect your own account with a password.

Start up questions requiring passwords when loading OSX...what are they??

Does anyone know of what questions OSX asks when you load the software? I had to re-install my OSX(actually archive) & it wants my password from the previous install. It gives me the "hint" but whatever answer I put in, it doesn't accept it. If I knew the actual question, it may help me remember it. Or....
is there another way around this?

If you're using a Mac OS X 10.3 install disk, you can "reset password" for the original user from the Installer menu. If you're using a Mac OS X 10.4 install disk, you can "reset password" from the Utilities menu.

Adobe Updater requires password when I launch any program from the suite

It is very annoying, but not a destructive issue.
When I launch any program from Creative Suite 3 Design Premium (6 programs) the Adobe Updater pops out and asks for a password. I can either provide a password and proceed, or deny the password and still proceed with the program.
Is there any way to stop the Updater from popping up?
I have it on my two machines Mac Pro (2x 2.66 GHz, 11GB RAM) and Mac Book Pro (2.33 GHz, 3GB RAM).
I am sure that there is some settings which I simply overlooked. Can anyone point it to me?
I would appreciate that. Thanks.
Jack

Unfortunately when Adobe products are restored from backup, especial CS4 and especially Mac, it breaks licensing.
There is a python script included in the license recovery kit that should work if you are familiar with Terminal.
If not, you must reinstall your CS4 suite. You don't need to delete your preferences, so it should be the same as before.

Itunes keeps asking me for a user name and password when I first open it.

I do not allow apple to access my library or my hard drive because you guys are predators, and I have NO interest in using the app store. I have disabled access to the store, so i do not know why it keeps asking me for a user name and password. You have NO right to see the music THAT I PURCHASED a loooooooooong time ago. It is my license. I should be able to play it whenever and wherever I like...and NO, I do not burn and copy my music. I just want to play it on MY MACHINES. So, I do not need your useless snooping, which is probably the reason you want me to log in. Who do you think you are? You didn't write the songs. You just sell licenses. Period. And I purchased mine, thank you. I no longer use your store for these reasons. I use Amazon.

Not control-R. Command-R. Shut the computer down. Reboot it. Hold down cmd-R when you hear the chime. Keep it held down and you should see the Lion recovery partition.

Text frames not supported and images can't be imported when trying to open word document, can this be fixed?

trying to open a word document in pages, no images, diagram r tables are seen, states problems are text frames not supported and that images can not be imported. the document opens fine in mircosoft office. can this be fixed or do i need to buy microsoft office for the imac, thanks andrea

Pages isn't a perfect converter of Word documents. They are differently coded. Some documents opens well but some don't.
You could try opening the document in LibreOffice, a free clone of MS Office.
