Get rid of Password ( i don't want password on login how to remove )
Hi
I am getting a Bit annoyed as I do not have a Password set on login or anything but every time i log on or install application,etc it comes up with the Password needed screen ( which i leave blank and push enter )
I just want to get rid of this Password screen altogether, so when i log on it does not ask me also when installing application,etc
so if anyone knows how to do this as i have tried all usual things in settings ( accounts and security ) but must be someway of getting rid of this ..
Thanks Mark
Go into the System Preferences, and then into the "Accounts" area. At the bottom of the left hand pane is the "Login Options" button. This will open the subpage where you can enable "Automatic login". You will need to select your account from the list. Afterwards, the machine will start up and automatically log in to the account selected.
Now the warning... I would never do what you are attempting to do- on any machine running any operating system. Running without a password is bad enough. Letting the machine log in by itself is worse.

How do I get rid of apps I don't want on my laptop

Dear Customer,
Welcome and Thank You for posting your query on HP Support Forum
If you're operating Windows 8 with a mouse, it's a snap to uninstall an app: Just mouse over its tile, right-click, and then choose Uninstall from the options toolbar that appears at the bottom of the screen. Of course, if you're using a touchscreen, there's no right-click option
Please refert to the below shown link for further troubleshooting:

Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again

Your help will be most appreciated. Thank you for your fine service. Until now with In-Box....Go to settings pick General and scroll to pass code lock.

How do I get rid of password at login?
At some point requiring a password upon login/waking up from sleep mode was necessary. I no longer want my MacBook password protected, but can't seem to find the setting anywhere. I tried doing some research here in the community, but didn't get very far finding an answer that works. When I enter System Settings/Users & Groups/Login Options, I am unable to change to Automatic Login (with the gold lock unlocked). Is that even the way to go to change from a password protected login? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Yes this is the way.
Are you saying it reads automatic login> OFF and you can not change it to your name (admin)??

I share a macbook with my other half and we both use it for our iphones. When syncing using the new software I now have all of her and my contacts on my phone. I don't want her contacts! How do I get rid?
Hi,
You have 2 solutions:
1 - You can use 2 differents icloud account
2 - You use the same account but you don't sync yours contacts.
You configure that in Settings > icloud
You activate or desactivate what you want.
Have a nice day. -
I often get the message that I am being disconnected from chat because i've logged on from another computer. I never use chat, and it just seems to be a problem. How can I get rid of it?
Don't expect any wonders. If you use it heavily with multiple applications running at the same time, nobody can help you. It's physics: more usage => higher energy consumption.
Here you can find some tips to reduce the battery consumption. My tip: close applications if you don't need them right now and reduce screen brightness. -
've just upgraded to latest version of Firefox 4 and my Mac is only OSX.10.4.11 and now it won't open. How do I downgrade and get old Firefox back. Don't want to lose all my bookmarks. Why was I able to install in the first place. Very frustrated!!
You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com -
when i start a new email, it shows some of my old email addresses. how do i get rid of the ones i dont want? they are not in my contacts info.
Unfortunately the Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have the option to clear previous recipients. If you don't want to live with it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is by restoring the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch as a new iPad/iPhone/iPod. If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 -
I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login. I tried the method where you go into single user mode and type in commands, however that method uses some of the letters that are not working on my laptop.
You didn't mention which version of OS X your running but there are password reset utilities provided OS X: Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier) - Apple Support or OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - Apple Support
Alternately you can use an external keyboard to log in and change the password. Make a backup if you don't have one, it's likely that your problems aren't over. If that water continues to migrate downward and fries the logic board your macbook will be toast. -
I updated my phone and my husbands to the 5.0 OS now everytime I enter a new contact he get's it. We don't want the same ones. How do I stop it from syncing our phones?
You linked them both to the same Apple ID and thence to the same iCloud account. Don't do that.

My kids use my apple id for their ipods. Now I'm getting an ipad and wondering if I should get a new id (they don't want to start over). Can we share the id (my email address) but not have to see each other's apps, contacts, etc? I'd rather share I think, but don't want to create a nightmare for myself. Also, I already have a kindle app (with purchased content) for my computer - does getting a new id for itunes change my ability to access my kindle account on my ipad? Thanks!
So first I'd say that it's not a good idea to start a new apple id if you have a large purchase history. You may not transfer purchases between apple IDs. You should consider some other options listed here http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37 Primarily the option where you or your children have seperate icloud accounts/email accounts that sync their contacts apart from yours. You may use your apple ID for purchases and use a different one for icloud/email/etc.

Since upgrading to Yosemite I cannot get directly to Netflix. I get a to Netflix and there is a big message about having to download/install Microsoft Silverlight. I can't get that to work and don't want it anyway. I just want to open Netflix and play the movies. What should I do?
I can't get that to work and don't want it anyway.
You need Silverlight. That is the application that plays the Netflix movies.

To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
Turn it off on each device you do not want your calls to ring on. By default all devices associated with the same Apple Id will have this turned on in iOS8 now. -
