How can I bypass the requests for my password?

I'm on a Mac Pro 8 Core, running System 10.7.5. My dealer originally set it up (years ago) so that I simply had to hit the "return" key every time I was asked for a password and this worked fine. Then, when my Mac Mail went wrong and I went through Tech Support, they made me create a password for the Mail account.
I'm now afraid that, if I do anything to the password situation, it will mess up my Mail account once mkore.
Any advice?
Many thanks,
Harry

Hi Kappy,
Thank you very much for your reply.
I have indeed written down my Apple ID and, thanks to you, now understand that this is a completely separate item to my computer password, which I guess is really knows as an admin account password as you point out.
However, my question remains: how can I remove the need to enter my password when I start up my computer, or, alternatively, change it to (say) hitting the "return" key.
When I first bought this computer, my dealer set it up so that the password was the key "return" and also I did not have to "log in" when the computer started up.
Could you possibly find a moment to answer those questions? I'd be most grateful.
Best,
and thanks for your first response. Greatly appreciated.

  • Lost Ipad today and erased on find my Iphone then later i found it before it was able to erase via wifi how can I reverse the request for erasing to keep all my current content the same

         Today I lost my IPad and was FREAKING OUT !!!!!   When a couple of store attendants told me to use the ICLOUD find my Iphone option in order to erase all the content just in case it fell into wrong hands.    Within an hour via survelance video we located the ipad prior to being able to connect to internet and erase everything.
        Now I am keeping the power off keeping it untouched or unerased,   QUESTION TO COMMUNITY????    Is there a way for me to successfully avoid the erase process  that is due to occurr once I power up and hit the WIFI????   Appreciate any input up front,    BRfromGR

    You cannot prevent it from being erased now. But surely you backup with iCloud or iTunes and/or sync with iTunes so when you get the iPad up and running again, just restore from your iCloud backup, or your iTunes backup and then sync with iTunes again and you will be OK.
    If you don't backup or sync .... Well then you should probably think about doing so in the future. Out of the mouth of a Apple ......
    If you erase then find your iOS device, you can restore the information on the device using iCloud Backup (if backup was turned on before you erased it) or iTunes. For more information, see iCloud storage and backup overview, or your device’s user guide in Safari bookmarks or on the Apple Support website.

    You can't. Until the previous owner removes the activation lock, the device is useless to you; Apple won't remove it unless presented with proof that the registered owner is dead.

  • How can I decouple the pagination for a global region?

    I was having a delightful time using a common region defined on a global page when I determined that pagination setting was begin carried from one page to the next.  Arghhhh!  So for example, if I have paged to the second set (page) of rows (11-20) on Page 1 and then I go to Page 2, the second set (page) of rows (11-20) is displayed there.   If I go to a page which only has a first set of rows (1-10), I get the pagination error "Invalid set of rows requested, the source data of the report has been modified. Reset Pagination".  And when I click to reset, it just repeats the error.  [I suppose it tries to display the second set or rows (11-20) again -- which doesn't exist.  What's that saying about insanity?]  
    How can I decouple the pagination for a global region? I want it to operarate just as it would if it were not sharing a common region.  So if I'm looking at rows (11-20) on page 1, I can go to any other page beginning with rows 1-10 there.  Then return to page 1 where I left off with rows 11-20 displayed.  One solution is NOT to paginate but that's not my preferred solution.

    The fact that there are different numbers of rows returned on different pages implies that the reports have some local page dependencies, so why try to use a global component? What's the actual requirement? How many pages does the report have to appear on? (Please say it is a report and not a tabular form...)
    How can I decouple the pagination for a global region? I want it to operarate just as it would if it were not sharing a common region.
    The point is that a global region is just that: a single region that happens to be displayed on multiple pages. It does not create multiple instances of a region on different pages. (Specifically, a region has a single region ID, and this is used to reference it whether it appears on one page or all of them. The region ID is used by the report for the purposes of AJAX refresh, pagination etc.)
    A similar situation was discussed a long time ago. I'm rather surprised that Scott regarded it as a bug: the fact that it doesn't seem to have been "fixed" or have a bug number attached may indicate that the others on the APEX team disagreed with him? I haven't tried the workaround he suggested, however I don't think it's likely to be prove a useful line of attack for your issue, as (1) it resets pagination rather than preserving it; and (2) it doesn't appear to be compatible with the AJAX PPR pagination used in more recent versions of APEX.
    I can't see any straightforward "solution" (largely because I don't think there's really a problem: the exhibited behaviour is exactly how I expect/want global regions to behave). Pagination processing is undocumented. The current 4.2 apex.widget.report.paginate JS method is specifically annotated as "for internal use only". Search the forum for custom pagination techniques. Messy looking hacks for IRs have previously been suggested.
    So if I'm looking at rows (11-20) on page 1, I can go to any other page beginning with rows 1-10 there.  Then return to page 1 where I left off with rows 11-20 displayed.  One solution is NOT to paginate but that's not my preferred solution.
    Assuming that there aren't too many pages involved, the other obvious option is to create unique regions on the required pages. You can achieve some level of reusability by creating SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query) reports based on an external function so that there's only a single SQL source to be maintained.
    Explain the requirement in more detail. Pagination is not the only option for reducing the quantity of displayed information. Often it's better to display some of all of the data, rather than all of some of it...

  • How can I know the request is come from the link in header in the filter?

    I am using the tile for layout management and each page has a header, menu, and content body. I want to do something at the filter If the request is come from the commandlinks in the header and menu.
    How can I know the request is come from the link in header in the filter?

    Basically all you have to go on is the request data. Examine the encode/decode requirements for commandLink; you may be able to determine from the request attributes which commandLink has been invoked.

  • How can we delete the request after compression? is it possible ?if so how?

    how can we delete the request after compression? is it possible ?if so how?

    Hi,
    You basically have 3 options:
    1. Use selective deletion and delete the error records.
    2. Do reverse posting and negate the error records.
    3. This is my preference. Delete all the data from the cube. RSA1 -> cube -> right click -> delete data -> choose "fact and dim" from pop-up. Now reconstruct all the requests that you need i.e ignore the error request. But before all this make sure you have the PSAs for all the request.
    Bye

    You could use the DecimalFormat or NumberFormat to do the job.
    double number 1234.567;
    DecimalForamt df = new DecimalFormat("###.##");
    String s = df.format(number);or
    double number 1234.567;
    NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
    nf.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
    /* if needed.
       nf.setMaximumIntegerDigits(value);
       nf.setMinimumFractionDigits(value);
       nf.setMinimumIntegerDigits(value); */
    String s = nf.format(number);I didn't test the codes but they should work. For more information, please consult the documentations.

  • Hi, how can i break the value for a row and column once i have converted the image to the array?????​??

    Hi, I would like to know how can i break the value for a row and column once i have converted the image to the array. I wanted to make some modification on the element of the array at a certain position. how can i do that?
    At the moment (as per attachhment), the value of the new row and column will be inserted by the user. But now, I want to do some coding that will automatically insert the new value of the row and the column ( I will use the formula node for the programming). But the question now, I don't know how to split the row and the column. Is it the value of i in the 'for loop'? I've  tried to link the 'i' to the input of the 'replace subset array icon' , but i'm unable to do it as i got some error.
    Please help me!
    For your information, I'm using LABView 7.0.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.Sorry for the confusion.
    I manage to change the array element by changing the row and column value. But, what i want is to allow the program to change the array element at a specified row and column value, where the new value is generated automatically by the program.
    Atatched is the diagram. I've detailed out the program . you may refer to the comments in the formula node. There are 2 arrays going into the loop. If a >3, then the program will switch to b, where if b =0, then the program will check on the value of the next element which is in the same row with b but in the next column. But if b =45, another set of checking will be done at a dufferent value of row and column.
    I hope that I have made the problem clear. Sorry if it is still confusing.
    Hope you can help me. Thank you!!!!

  • How can we do the validation for non visible records in table control.

    Hi Experts,
      I have a table control which displays list of material details. I have a button to upload the material details from excel file to table control directly. I have to validate all the customers which are exist in the table. But my item (Material) table control displays only 5 rows i.e only 5 entries are visible in module pool screen. The validation is done for 5 records only in PAI event, but i need to do validation for rest of the records too (Which are not visible on items table), if validation fails then needs to display error message.
