Finder keeps asking for password verification

Finder keeps asking for password verification when I ask to move or delete a file.
How can I stop this from happening?
Thanks in advance.

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

It was mentioned that LinkedIn is free to download over iPhone but when I'm trying that it's reflecting GET and asking for payment verification. Please suggest.

It was mentioned that LinkedIn is free to download over iPhone but when I'm trying that it's reflecting + GET and asking for payment verification. Please suggest.
Please find the attached screenshot.

If it's the first time that you've tried to download anything from the store with the account then depending upon how you created the account then you may have to enter payment details before you will be able to download anything (including free items).
'Get' means that it's a free download, though that app does offer in-app purchases. If you are being asked to confirm/enter your card details then have you tried doing so ? As it's a free-to-download app the card won't be charged, though you may receive a temporary store holding charge.

Trying to rent movie..its asking for payment verification. where do i find this?

trying to rent movie..its asking for payment verification. says before you can make purchase, you must go to the itunes store on your computer and verify your payment information. i went on and already updated my credit card info. where do i find this? how do i do this?

If you dont have any other devices which you use your Apple-ID with (like an iPad, iPod, Mac etc) this will solve your issue (I've been there too):
If you have iOS 6:
1) Sign out from Settings > iTunes & App Store by taping the email adress at the top and choose Sign out.
2) Sign out from Settings > iCloud by taping the red "Delete account" button on the bottom of the page (will not delete you account only remove it from your iPhone i.e sign you out).
3) Sign back in again with your new email adress.
If you have iOS 7:
1) Sign out from Settings > iTunes & App Store.
2) Change your email adress back to the old email adress on your Apple-ID
3) Sign out from Settings > iCloud by taping the red "Delete account" button on the bottom of the page (will not delete you account only remove it from your iPhone i.e sign you out).
4) Change your email for you Apple ID back to the new email adress you want to have.
5) Sign back in from Settings > iCloud.
If you're promted for password to your old Apple ID when you update apps you need to follow the steps above and then restart your iPhone.
If the steps in this article is followed when chagning Apple ID this issue can be avoided Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID.

Mail ask for the password all the time

Hello.
For the last month I´ve been experiencing problems with my mail. It ask me for the password every few seconds. I´ve have already tried all the solutions published at the help page in apple the site, but the problem is still on.
Could anyone of you give some help.
Many thanks.
PS: if someone could send me an answer in spanish, it could be easier for me.
Thanks.

Hola Luis.
I’ll reply in English, amongst other reasons because that allows me to copy & paste between posts, but let me know if there is something you don’t fully understand. You can post in Spanish if you want. BTW, you can make your life easier in these forums by going to System Preferences > International and moving English to the top of the list. The next time you launch an application, it'll be all in English.
Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the keychain. If that doesn’t work, you may try removing the password entry from the keychain and letting Mail create it again.
Note that Mail often doesn’t correctly report what the problem really is. If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it’ll ask for your password, regardless of whether that’s really the problem or not. Don’t keep entering the password every time, because that’s not the problem (click Cancel instead, and take the account back online afterwards).
Some ISPs refuse connection attempts if they are too frequent, for example, or limit the number of simultaneous connections that are allowed from the same IP address, or the account may have become full, or there might be a problem with the network, or there might be a problem with the server... If the latter (i.e. if there is a problem with the network or the server), the problem will probably fix itself after some time for no apparent reason.
Actually, if Mail asks for the password every few seconds, then you’re probably checking for mail too often, and that alone could be the reason you have this problem. What’s the time interval chosen in Preferences > General > Check for New Mail? If it’s set to Every minute, try changing it to Every 5 minutes.
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.

When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account. Help!

When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account ID, it shows my dad's. How can I fix this so I can sign in?

It sounds like the apps were purchased using your dads account, so they will have to be updated using that account.

When it asks for account information does it mean your internet account info?, When it asks for account information does it mean your internet account info?

Hi,
Having problems getting the Time Machine/Base Station set up at Home. When it asks for account info is it asking for the Internet provider account?
It's a stupid question I realize but the thing is remaining invisible to my computer after the set up doesn't work. I tried a factory reset which allowed me to reinput info but now it won't factory reset and it doesn't show up so I can't edit account info.
Any thoughts? Do I need to connet the computer and the Time Machine with a cable? I've been thinking it would work wireless but maybe that's where I'm off.
Thanks,

You should be able to setup over wireless. But IMHO only cables offer connections that are real.. that can be used without having to worry about being disconnected by the setup procedure itself.
Do the setup in full network isolation.. a computer with wireless off.. plugged by ethernet into a LAN port of the TC.. do another factory reset.
Make sure when the TC comes up again that the computer gets an ip 10.0.1.2 and then open the airport utility and do the setup of the TC..
The setup sometimes fails because it expects an adsl modem for instance to bridge and wants to use pppoe..this is not always possible.. it is necessary to run the TC in bridge mode if the existing modem is also a router.
Just select bridge.
And then setup the wireless via the wireless tab and create a wireless network.
Otherwise if you have a pure modem like cable.. you can put the TC in DHCP + NAT mode.
But it is unlikely the auto setup would fail in that case.

Why am I asked for account details for a free app?

For the App Store you need an Apple ID with a credit card tied to it.
Apple will make an Authorisation Holds for a $1 to verify credit card information but will be not charge.

Mail asked for a password each time it starts

I've used gmail (IMAP) for several months with no problems, until recently. Now Mail asks for a password each time it starts, then again when I try to send a mail. Despite re-entering the password and checking the box for the password to be stored, I'm prompted again the next time I re-start Mail.
I've tried several remedies described here in support discussions including:
1. delete the imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com entries in the keychain then re-enter the password via Mail.
2. run keychain first aid.
3. manually enter the passwords in keychain
4. use disk utility to repair all permissions
None of the above remedies have worked for me.
With some trial and error, I've discovered that setting Access Control for the two Keychain items (imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com) to "Allow all applications" (rather than the default "Confirm before allowing" with "Mail" as the listed application) does work.
So it appears that Keychain allows Mail to store the passwords but then does not allow Mail access to retrieve the stored passwords once Mail is restarted when "Confirm before allowing" is set.
Although now I have a "Work-around", does anyone have an idea of what's broken and how to fix it? Thanks.

OK. I tried the "Keychain Reset" and it did not work. The reset created a blank keychain file. I entered the mail passwords after starting Mail.app, then quit Mail. When I restarted Mail.app, it prompted again for the previously entered password. No change.
The clue to the problem is the current "work around". If I set "Allow All Applications" the Keychain allows Mail.app to use the stored passwords. Of course this defeats part of the security.
So Far...:

Here's a simple fix for Mail constantly asking for account password

This one was driving me nuts, but now I have a fix...I think. Open up Keychain Access in Utiliites. Double click the entry in the login keychain, then check "Show Password." Give your login password and hit the "Allow" button. After the pword is shown, just close the box. That's it. No more need to redo all the pwords in Mail and Keychain. Works for me. Mail seems to need some hand holding from time to time.

My e-mail provider is Verizon. If I'm being asked for the password for the main account, I double-click on this in the login keychain shown below. But since I'm using Snow Leopard, this might appear differently for you, although I doubt it.
