Have to enter password 3 times before it logs in

Issues with password after Mac has gone to sleep
This seems to be happening to more and more of of our users (including myself) If you wake the imac from sleep and you enter your password in (correctly)
it will shake and only let you in on the 3rd try..
seems to be only happening on recently updated Mac OS 10.8.5 iMacs
Has anyone else been experiencing this?

Start up in Safe Mode.

I have a Sirius subscription. Do I have to enter password each time I log in?

I have a Sirius subscription. Do I have to enter password each time I log in?

That would depend on the application you're using to access Sirius, I would presume. What application do you use?
If you're using just a web browser, I don't have a subscription to confirm but it does look like it would require the user name and password whenever you reconnect. Sirius support or a Sirius-releated forum might be able to provide additional information.

Possible To Only Have To Enter Password 1 time?

I have configured some of our network devices to authenticate to our TACACS server. Some of the network engineers have asked me to see if I can come up with a way that they don't have to type in their password twice on the network devices. I saw a different thread,
http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Security&topic=AAA&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Ddisplay_location%26location%3D.1dde9bc0
and I followed what was stated in their, however I still have to type in my password twice. I have made sure that they shell privilege level is set for 15. Anyone have any ideas?
Attached is the related router config.
aaa new-model
aaa authentication login default group tacacs+ local
aaa authentication enable default group tacacs+ enable
aaa authorization exec default group tacacs+ if-authenticated
aaa authorization commands 15 default group tacacs+ if-authenticated
tacacs-server host 172.20.62.208
tacacs-server host 172.20.62.191
tacacs-server key 7 <omitted>
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
As you already have aaa authorization exec command in place, You only have to enable the privilev level field under Tacacs+ settings on group and mention 15 as privilege there and that should do it.
I have attached screen shoot for your reference.
Thanks

Startup: Have to enter password 5 times

Powerbook G4 1.5 MHz OS X 10.4.10.
Start computer and login the usual way.
As the computer starts up I get 3-4 more login windows where OS X need a password to login to stuff like dotmac sync, etc.
Help?
Thanks,

Apparently, you have a .Mac account and have it set its items to launch at startup. System Preferences->Accounts->Login Items, disable (use the minus sign) for any you don't want to launch at startup. Additionally, check your .Mac settings. I don't have a .Mac account, so I don't know if thee are any that pertain.

My iPhone is displaying a "iPhone is disabled" notification. It asked me to enter my password multiple times before locking me out. Can you help with this?

Hey there!
Unfortunetly, in situations like this, the ONLY other way to bypass that four-digit passcode and/or a disabled device is to connect to a computer with the most recent version of iTunes (11.1.3), connect the device in Recovery Mode and restore it to factory settings. Restoring to factory will completely wipe the device, including the four-digit passcode.
The steps to do so are outlined in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
(If there is any other way to bypass the passcode, it would have to be third-party, which I am not familiar with any program that can, sorry!).

Hey there Sharon47.
Couple of things that I see when I read this.
1 - If you have tried to reset your password (and it says that mail has been sent) my guess is that your spam or junk folder may have it on Gmail? That's assuming your old email account (earthlink) is still forwarding to your new (Gmail) account.
2 - Make sure your Firefox versions are up to date on the devices.
Also,
Here's a couple of support articles which may help you with syncing and

Apple TV does not recognize my Apple account username (email) and password, but ITunes, my iPad and iPhone does. I have rest my password three times, same results. Also, ATV says my computer is not authorized, but I-Tunes says it is.

ATV says my computer is not authorized, but i-Tunes says it is.
I have i-Tunes open on my computer and have entered i-Tunes store, ATV says it can't access the store. Both on the same network!
I am so frustrated with this system! All these problems with Apple TV are not the end but the beginning.
In i-Tunes, songs are lost when they have not been moved. I lose whole albums I have ripped from CDs to iTunes
An audiobook book in two files are in the library but only one file is recognized by iTunes when I try to play it or transfer it to my iPhone

I Am having the same issue. Ie on the password issue.
I Am using a Macpro though.
i Have had no issues with the setup until recently.
However I think the hard drive is starting to fail as it keeps on losing the wireless connection and gas been stuttering a lot on playback.

Why do we have to change passwords every time we do something on the iPad?

WHy do we have to reset passwords every time we do something on iPad?

You shouldn't have to. It sounds like you may have content on the device associated with more than one apple id. If that's the case then, you may be entering a password for one account when you should be entering another.
I would suggest using only one apple id username on the device and delete any content associated with another.

Hunter1744, welcome to the forum.
If you are using Win7, you can go into Start. In the "Search programs and files" box at the bottom type "cmd" and hit Enter. This will open a terminal window. Type "netplwiz' next to the prompt and hit Enter. This will bring up a box titled User Accounts. Uncheck the box next to "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer." It will ask for a Password and to verify the Password. Once you do this, you should not have to logon with a Password in the future.

I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I upgraded to lion. I tried to buy an audio book and download it to my nano like I have done at least 50 times before. Now the dialog box states that I need an ipod touch for the same function. MacBook Pro 2008 w/ m.trac

I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?

I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
I truly appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks again...
