Finder asks for password everytime I apply a tag

How can I get rid of this?
Already tried Disk Utility Permissions Repair, but i think there is some kind of configuration to stop this.
Anyone may help me? Thanks a lot.

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
          Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) 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.

  • OSX asks for password everytime I want to erase a file

    Hi guys,
    OSX asks for password everytime I want to erase a file from one of my 4 internal HD's. Is there a solution so I dont have to do this everytime?
    Thanks!

    Mac OS X is inherently a Multi-User system, even when ther is only one User account.
    Whether it asks depends on the permissions of the file in question.
    If your login_id is the Owner, it will not ask.
    If your login_Id is NOT the owner, then it will ask for proper authority to delete a file that does not belong to you, such as the Admin ID and password.

  • Finder asking for password

    Recently, even If I copy paste files from different folders or rename files, my mac says, "Finder wants you to make changes and asks the password".
    It wasnt like that all the time. How do I get it back to normal again ?

    Did you change the permissions somehow? It sounds like th permissions are messed up.

  • Finder asking for password password

    Ever since Lion a couple of folders have asked for an administrator password if I try to delete or move anything in them, it hasnt been much of a problem but I have a lot of work in the folders and its getting to be a real issue now.
    I've looked around and the recomended terminal fix: sudo chown your_user_name ~/.Trash doesn't work, how can I fix this?

    I gave that a try, seemed to be doing as the post said when restarted as spotlight started indexing imediatly, but its an SSD and stopped after a few seconds. and its not worked, even tried again and then with my admin only account too.
    The folder is on the HD though, could that be causing issues?

  • Can no longer open anything without finder asking for password verification, but not accepting password

    I plugged in an external DVD/CD burner but finder won't let me use it, and a message comes up saying "Finder wants to make changes, type your password to allow this' however, when I type my password it will no longer accept it and has an error code -128 message come up. I can also now not do anything on the desktop without the same finder password verification request happening. Have tried restarting the computer twice with no luck. Running system OSX10.8.2

    This might be a rare case in which Repair Permissions in Disk Utility is worth a try.

  • I forgot my icloud id and password. i want to delete the id. i forgot the password. if i try to delete the account its asking for password. i cannot find how to delete the account. Please anyone can help me out???

    I forgot my icloud id and password. i want to delete the id. i forgot the password. if i try to delete the account its asking for password. i cannot find how to delete the account. Please anyone can help me out???

    You aren't going to be able to delete it without the correct password.  If it's your ID, you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625.  If it isn't your ID, you will have to get the password for the person who owns the ID.  There's no way around this and no one else can help.

  • Why is the finder asking for my password now in Mavericks?

    Every time I want to delete a file, the Finder asks for my password to do this.
    Anyone know how to I can turn this off?

    What steps did you perform to install Mavericks?
    It sounds like there's a permissions mismatch between your account and those files.  If you ask the Finder to do a "get info" (File > Get Info), what do you see in the "Sharing & Permissions" section?  Compare that will a file you just created.
    There's a way to reset the permissions of your files while in "recovery mode" (boot with command-R held down), but I can't give you details.

  • 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.

  • Snow leapord continually asks for password for routine tasks

    how do I stop snow leopard from asking for password to change folder names?

    In the Finder, select the icon of your home folder in the sidebar on the left, and choose "Get Info" from the File menu. In the Sharing & Permissions section of the info window, you should see your user name and "Read & Write." If that's so, click the lock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your administrator name and password when prompted. Then open the action menu (with a gear icon) at the bottom of the window, and choose "Apply to enclosed items." Close the window and try your action again.

  • HT1414 My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to all upon and need the r

    My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!

    If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
    The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago.  I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago;  but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
    A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password. 
    I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that.  With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software. 
    Best,

  • Mail keeps asking for password and icloud setting do not load in system preferences

    Hi,
    I have a mac mini server with mavericks, i have 2 iMacs as clients running mavericks too, when i use iMac (A) mail app and icloud work fine, them i take iMac (B) and mail app start asking for password , it just won't take the password, icloud do not load and cannot use anything else on system prferences because it locks system preferences, i need to force quit system prefrences , so I return to iMac (A) and i get same behaivor as iMac (B), i would appreciate your help for finding a solution for this.
    All network users get the same behaivor, local users do not get this behaivor.
    Thanks
    Hector

    Hector;
    I have the same problem. The solution is to log into your client, open Keychain, run Keychain First Aid under file menu. If it fails to find your keychain, note the path, mount the disk that it is looking for, and rerun.
    In short, you need to have the disk that your keychain is sitting on mounted. While your user account is mounted, Maveriks cannot match the reference path. Looking like a bug.
    Example:
    my folder sits on a second disk on server. It is properly setup in the mavericks server.
    On the server, it is locally referred to as: /Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user. I can log in to mail on the server when I log in with my user name.
    In the workgroup manager, the same location is referred to as:
    afp://my_server.local/Users/my_user (or smb)
    /Network/Servers/my_server.local/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user
    So this is the network path. So the client should be looking for that. But instead, it looks for the local disk, which is not mounted as such. In other words, it looks for:
    /Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user/Library/Keychains
    instead of
    /Network/Servers/my_server.local/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user/Library/Keychains
    To eliminate this problem, you mount the volume on the client, so it can find. I will keep the editorial to myself, but this is not quality software.
