How to prevent the regular password prompts when watching a movie on my MacBook Air?

Hello everyone.
I recently started renting movies from the iTunes store and watched them on my MacBook Air since I don't have an appleTV. (In fact on my TV connected via HDMI cable to the MacBook but I think that doesn't change the cause)
Now every now and then a automatic password prompt kicks in overlaying the movie, so I have to stand up each time and type in the administrator password in the middle of the movie. This happens maybe about every 30-45 mins. Needless to say this is extremely unpleasant when watching a movie. Unfortunately I cannot tell you which programm causes the prompt since I always close all other programms other than iTunes.
Is there a way to temporarily prevent all automatic password prompts?
I hope you can help me,
Greetings jonezdotcom

This is taken from Mac Help. It should guide you in solving your issue.
Changing the way users log in
You can require users to enter a password to log in to your computer, or you can turn on automatic login, which automatically logs in a specified user each time the computer starts up.
Automatic login is useful if you’re the only person who uses your computer, and the computer is always in a safe and secure place. If you have more than one user account on your computer, or if you’re concerned about the security of information on your computer, you should require users to log in with a password. Automatic login is not available for accounts that are using FileVault encryption.
If you require users to log in, you can change what they see in the login window. You can show a list of users with a picture next to each name and a place to enter the password, or require users to enter both their user name and password.
To change the way users log in:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Accounts.
Open Accounts preferences
Click the lock icon to unlock it, and then type an administrator name and password.
Click Login Options.
Do one of the following:
To require users to log in whenever the computer starts up, choose Off from the “Automatic login” pop-up menu.
To have the computer automatically log in to a particular account when the computer starts up, choose the account from the “Automatic login” pop-up menu, enter an administrator password, and click OK.
IMPORTANT: Automatic login allows anyone to get immediate access to your computer simply by restarting it. If you turn on automatic login, make sure the computer doesn’t automatically log in to an account with administrator privileges.
Next to the ”Display login window as,” select how you want the login window to appear:
To have users select an account from a list in the login window, select “List of users.”
To require users to type their user account name and password, select “Name and password.”
To show each user’s password hint, select the “Show password hints” checkbox.
If you turn on automatic login for yourself, the computer opens your account when it starts up. If you log out, other users see a login window to log in to their user accounts.
The Login Options pane of Accounts preferences
Use the Login Options pane of Accounts preferences to change the way the login window behaves to be more secure or set up the way users will log in to their accounts
PREFERENCE EXPLANATION
Automatic login
To have the computer automatically log in to an account at startup, choose the account from the pop-up menu. This is less secure than requiring users to log in, since it allows anyone to use the computer just by turning it on.
To require users to select an account and enter a password to log in, choose Off from the pop-up menu.
Automatic login is not available for accounts that are using FileVault encryption.
Display login window as
Select “List of users” to have users choose their accounts from a list in the login window.
Select “Name and password” to require users to type their name and password in the login window.

Possible to disable password prompt when installing aps?

Trying out a Macbook pro to decide if I want to keep it or not. I own an IT company and am a PC user, so this is a new environment for me.
When I install programs, it prompts me for authentication to do so. This is as annoying in this OS as it was in Windows, but at least I know where to disable it in windows. So far, I have been unable to find it in this OS and the security options in preferences has nothing at all for this option.
Thanks for any assistance to the noob.

Hi John;
When I worked for IBM, I can't remember how many times users would be migrated from Winders boxes to Unix ones because their need for power had increased. Once migrated over to Unix they started to griping about the password prompt of Unix. They would carry on like it was the end of the world. After I told them, my manager told them and my manager told their manager that it was a feature of Unix, they would finally stop griping. I doubt that they were happy but at least they stopped bugging me.
I would usually suggest they move back to Winders but everyone of them felt that the Unix box was far more powerful so they remained with it. They never seemed satisfied enough with the extra power of the Unix workstation to overlook the password prompt. I really find that surprising.

Multiple password prompts when importing distributed form responses

I have a two page form that I've distributed to my local server. When I test the form and send it back, it all works as it's supposed to. The problem comes in when I try to access my password protected _responses file. I have no problem accessing the empty portfolio with the password I've given it; however when it starts to import form submissions, it prompts me for the portfolio password 4 times for each individual form. What am I doing wrong?!

Hi,
In this scenario, I would suggest you to add multiple lines of text in the fields and limit the character count.
Selecting this will display the whole text in the field and user will not have any issues while printing the form.

Nakul

Password prompt when I connect

I just setup my wireless router and I setup a key to connect but it only asked me once for the password when I hit the connect option. Now every time I hit connect it does not ask me for the password I set. What do I have to do for every time I hit the connect option it prompts me for the password I set?

Most wireless utility automatically saves a profile so that the computer can connect to the wireless network everytime you are in range.
Dont worry its a feature on your computer.
you can keep deleting the profile or prefered network on the computer so that it prompts you all the time
hope i helped

Not getting a password prompt when signing

Sometimes when I go to sign a document, the password box is missing. I'm using Acrobat Pro XI (not Reader). The password box is typically there the first time we sign it, and then after that it sometimes disappears. Once it disappears, it doesn't show up again. help please!

It depends on where you imported your signing certificate. On Windows if you place it in the Windows Store it by default remembers the password and does not ask again. In the process of importing signing certificate into the Windows Store you can select an option to ask you the password always. If you imported your signing certificate into the Acrobat Store, you can control how often you're asked the password.
1. Go to Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Identities&Trusted Certificates->More and select Digital IDs. "Storage Mechanism" column shows you where your signing certificate is stored.
2. If it is stored as a "Digital ID file" select "Digital ID Files" and click on the file that contains your signing certificate. There is "Password Timeout" tab on the top of the right panel. When you click it it will ask you for teh password and then present several options that control how often Acrobat/Reader asks you for the password when you sign.
This is the same in Acrobat and Reader.

Why Icloud password prompt when it is already correct

I was told reset my password for security reason with Apple, so I went ti iforgot.apple.com and changed my password through the usual reseting your password screens on the apple website.
Since the change, everytime I refresh my emails, I am being prompted with a message from my icloud account saying "Cannot Get Mail the user name or password for "icloud" is incorrect" But the truth is the details in my settings are correct and I have put the new password in along with the correct appleid which I haven't had to change anyway because it was only the password I have to update, I have even tried this with my old password just in case these my apple id account is not in sync with my icloud account.
I am forever being prompted and would like some assistance as to how I can resolve this, for the time being I have disabled icloud mail to avoid getting this annoying prompt.
Please help.

Thanks, but that was one of the first things I did, I deleted the account on my iphone and then added the account back after.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Windows Security user name/password prompt when trying to remote access personal cloud storage device

I have 2TB WD Book Live drive setup at home and is working fine, including remote accessing by internet. However using a colleague's computer at the office recently, her computer would always prompt me for Windows Security username and password. I've tried
keying her admin user name/password and well as the router's admin/admin combinations and still doesn't allow me to access the cloud drive properly. However I have had no problem accessing the same drive remotely using other colleagues computers.
The exact message prompt as follows: Windows Security. The server 192.168.1.1 is asking for your user name and password. The server reports that it is from index.htm. WARNING: Your user name and password will be sent using basic authentication on
a connection that isn't secure.
Please help me understand the problem and its solution. Thank you.

Hi,
The IP address 192.168.1.1 is your Router server address, isn't it? I doubt there should some limition in your colleague's system. Please check it. Also you can try to disable security software for test to access your cloud.
The problem isn't your cloud server Authorization.

Displaying a prompt on report's initial load

Hi,
I know that in WebI I can set a prompt to be displayed when the data is refreshed but that's not what I wish to accomplish at the moment. What I want to do is to display a prompt when the report is first loaded.
Example: As soon as the user opens the report, he's prompted with something like "Filter report with year <operator> <year>"".
Thanks for the help,
Joaquim

Joaquim,
Kuldeep gave you the correct answer. You wrote:
Example: As soon as the user opens the report, he's prompted with something like "Filter report with year <operator> <year>"".
What you want is the local filter for the tab to apply a prompt based upon the data cached to that specific report (i.e. you want to save a report with the "refresh on open" off, but prompt on the static data). No can do. The prompt feature actually stages to construct an SQL statement, which in turns fires off a new query. There is no other prompt capability.
Thanks,
John

Feature Request: Always skip password prompts

[cross-posted on LAVA]
I love the new option to Skip remaining password prompts when using the Find
feature in LabVIEW. But, to be honest, I don't have a single use-case
for ever searching inside password protected VIs. I only use password
protection as a way to lock installed libraries or distributed software
products.
So, I would love to have the option to Always skip password prompts, so that I never have to see this dialog again. Of course, this setting should be available in the LabVIEW Options dialog, so that it can be reset.
Thanks,
-Jim

In your Find dialog you probably have the "Ignore VIs in vi.lib" checkbox unchecked. It's at the bottom of the window.

How do you remove password prompt?

how do you disable the password prompt when you are moving items around on the laptop or installing items? Its so **** annoying.

HI,
That "password prompt" is there for your security. You can't install software updates without providing your admin password.

My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly.

My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly. Even when i sign in and out.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can I fix this?

Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

Ssh: /etc/issue display between login and password prompts

Hi All,
I currently have ssh installed on one a Solaris 10 (non-global) zone. I have configured the sshd_config to run on protocol 2 and unhashed the 'Banner /etc/issue' parameter.
When I attempt to log into this zone via ssh I get (in this order)...
1. A login prompt
2. The message I have put in /etc/issue
3. A password prompt.
Is there some further configuration I need to consider here?
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

Sorry, it's probably worth mentioning that what i would ultimately like to do is have the message in /etc/issue display itself prior to asking for a login, not after as it currently is.
Thanks.

I changed my Apple ID and password, but when I attempt to update Apps I am prompted to enter my Password for my OLD Apple ID, and I am unable to override the Old Apple ID. How to proceed ?

I changed my Apple ID and password, but when I attempt to update Apps I am prompted to enter my Password for my OLD Apple ID, and I am unable to override the Old Apple ID. How to proceed ?

Delete everything bought with the old Apple ID and buy it again.
Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

Cannot paste password into prompt when importing a certificate

I wanted to import an email signing certificate into my Keychain Access application, but when I import and am prompted for the password to open the certificate, the Keychain Access application won't let me paste anything in the password prompt. Has this always worked this way?
I guess it discourages people from saving certificates with long random passwords.

try to take ownership of the folder.
To take ownership of a file or folder
Open Windows Explorer, and then locate the file or folder you want to take ownership of.
Right-click the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.
Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.
Click Edit, and then do one of the following:
To change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click Other users and groups and, in Enter the object name to select (examples), type the name of the user or group, and then click OK.
To change the owner to a user or group that is listed, in the Change owner to box, click the new owner.
(Optional) To change the owner of all subcontainers and objects within the tree, select the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects check box.
