Everytime I close my laptop, and then re-open it later, it automatically has logged me back into my account. Why is this?

Hi,
So, normally when I close my laptop after usage (putting it in sleep mode) it will automatically log it out of the account I am using. Whenever I want to go back into it, I have to type in my password before getting back in. However, every time I now open it, I don't have to type in any password; I am already logged into the account I was using before I had closed my laptop. Why is this happening? And how do I get this to stop?
Any help would be appreciated!!
-Thanks

Some settings may have changed. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, and make sure that "Require password inmediately after sleep or screen saver begins" is ticked

How can I get my desktop page to open when I close the browser and then re open it?

when I click the red x to close the browser, when I come back to open the browser later, the last page I was viewing. last session opens, even all other tabs behind it, instead of my google page (my home page)? can this be fixed) I know I can just click the google word in the search bar, but should not have to do this!

When I close the browser and then re open it it does not go to the home page but opens to the last page that was open when I close it.

Every time We have been closing the browser for the last few days when we restart the browser, regardless of weather we shut down the computer or not, it reopens to the last page that was opened. I cleared out and deleted the history but it did not help.

Maybe you currently have your home page setting to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" instead of "Show my home page".

I connect my Iphone 5 to my laptop and it will connect to my computer but will not show up on my itunes why is this? i have tried everything that other people are saying but nothing is helping.

HI so i connect my phone to my computer and everything works but it wont connect to itunes for some reason but did just a few weeks ago. I did something where i lost all my photoes and it reset my phone to waht it once was so i wonder if that was the cause but i dont know. help would be very much apprecieated this college student is getting super frustrated.

Since no one here can possibly know what you specifically mean by "tried everything that other people are saying", no one can determine what you did wrong. Also, you didn't say what computer OS you use.
Read and follow ALL recomendations in the following aritcle appropriat for your computer:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

Hi, Read some other posts, but couldn't get it to work. Thanks in advance, Here is the error notice:

Make sure to run SSMS as Admin if you're using SQL Server 2012.
It is indeed the known issue and running SSMS as Admin should solve it.
BTW, this solution I found in www.universalthread.com forum. I re-checked these threads if they contain any supporting links, but no. In any case, that solution helped that person and myself as well.

If you are logged in with the same account that you bought them with, and they are still in your country's store and you haven't moved countries since buying them, then they might show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app for redownloading, and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes. If not all show there then check to see if you've hidden any of them : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
If they are no longer in the store or you've moved countries then do you have a copy of them anywhere ? If you still have the iPod with them on then you can connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your iTunes library so that you can take a backup copy and sync them to your iPad.

My screen wont turn on, and the screen is black. It was working fine, but then it just turned off. The only way it will work is if I close my laptop, and pinch the two screens together

You have a hardware problem and you should take it into a apple store to be looked at and fixed.

You can do it. This article from Macworld will be helpful to you:

Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it. It will now fit the screen. Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes. The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds. Apple should fix this. Should.

If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

1st problem see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
2nd problem, to close Firefox properly use File > Exit
:not with the [x] in upper right corner which close window
:see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit
:if restarting use "Restartless Restart" extension as mentioned there.
 Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

My itunes library is on our pc and my ipod touch. I would like to tranfer this library to my new laptop and then to my new ipod classic.

I have had an ipod touch for some time now. A lot of my music is stored on our home pc.The music on the pc is stored in my itunes library, and also on the Touch.
I have now bought an ipod Classic 160gb.
I have also bought a new pc laptop.
I would like to transfer the music from my itunes library, which is on the Touch, to my new laptop and then onto my new Classic.

To transfer your iTunes Library...
From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

With regard as to what is on your Touch, you will need a 3rd Party Software... Google would be your friend...

Joe91 - Short and sweet, and really helpful - thanks! I wrote a fairly long post to explain the situation. Skip to the last paragraph, and you miss the point.

Everytime I close my laptop, and then re-open it later, it automatically has logged me back into my account. Why is this?
