How can I require a password to change the "Require password after sleep or screen saver begins" setting

My son has a habit of disabling the "Require password after sleep or screen saver begins" setting whenever my wife lets him play a game on her account.  I notice every other setting on the "Security & Privacy -> General" tab is protected by the lock on the lower left corner.  I've never understood why this one is not.  Is there any way that I can get that setting to also be controlled by the lock?

Because that setting is specific to the account currently logged in and doesn't potentially affect any others or the system itself, which is the level in general at which administrator or root access is required.

  • I have a new Macbook pro and can't recall the password I used with my Time capsule - How can I (ideally) retrieve or possibly change the time capsule password?

    Remember security on a TC is an illusion.
    Simply press the reset button for 1-2 sec.. you must not do too long .. it will then hard reset.. but soft reset will revert all passwords to default for 5min. ie TC password is now public.
    Remember this the next time because anybody at all can change your passwords.
    Once into the TC you can then open the view passwords if you wanted any weaker security. Click and open the TC.. and click on edit.. then go to the top menu..
    Voila .. all your passwords in plain sight to any Tom Dick and Fred.

  • How can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in?

    how can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in? is there a app i can download so it will recognize it? i have a vauxhal astra and the controls are on the steering wheel

    First question is how old is Astra and you are in UK ( well you must be to have a Vauxhall)
    Normally the Radio only has a line in socket  to allow sound
    You have two choices here either a simple cable with a 3.5mm Headphone plus at each end
    or a cable with the headphone plug to place in car's line in plug and a wide Apple socket to fit the base of your iPhone This allegedly gives better sound but  you have to control the iPhone for music selection
    The equipment you need to control the iPhone from the Steering Wheel controls ,which I suspect currently handles radio /Cd  tracks /stations ,is much more complicated it will have to be integrate with the Factory Fitted  radio
    and designed to manage the S/Wheel  controls and translate to the iPhone .
    Fitted into back of radio etc etc
    If car is a recent Vauxhall there may be a kit available from them .but will not be cheap
    Many imponderables you did not give much away in your OP

    Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
    Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

  • If I change a file name, how can I get DW to just change the name on server?

    I've got a reasonable grasp of site management but I just changed a bunch of files to replace an uppecase letter with a lower case e.g. MyFile.jpg to myfile.jpg  and DW doesn't manage that on the server.
    I ended up canging my file names, syncing the folder, deleting the duplicates directly on the server and then uploadin the HTML page the images link to.  Seemed like a long way of doing things in relation to the way DW manages everything else?
    Regards

    Hello Beth
    Thanks for that but it was rather what I wondered if I could avoid.
    The problem arises because of trying to manage gallery images.  I needed to change the name of a .jpg file and wondered if I could update the server without updating everything else. All my pages work OK and I needed to change several image names.  I went through the images and changed them locally, and DW updates everything fine.  So I synchronise the pages and would have just liked to have updated the image filenames without having to wait for the upload of just the image files which were the same.
    Even as I'm typing that out I realise it would be a small miracle to expect DW to compensate for my own ceaseless laziness...

  • Requiring Password from sleep or Screen Saver

    I recently got a MacMini running OS 10.6 Before this, all my systems were running 10.5
    In my old systems, I set it so once the system went to sleep, or went to the screen saver, you would have to enter the password to wake up (or stop the screen saver). That way if I walked away from the computer, my kids couldn't just jump on it. But in the new system, I can't find that option! It's not in the displays/screen saver control panel. It's not in the energy saver control panel. I don't know where it went. Ugh!
    Is it no longer available, or can I just not find it?

    Don't feel dumb. You learned AND you reported back to the gentle readers. Also, I've seen Apple "re-arrange" Sys Prefs with each new "cat." Keeps up all on our toes, i suppose.

  • How can I tether my iphone to make the internet work after upgrading from ios6?

    I have a iPhone4, I had upgrade to the ios 6. Now I can't tether my phone to use the hotspot, I can use the airport on my MBP to use the internet but it is much slower. My ISP is AT&T. I had contacted them and they told me that they are working on it, I called Apple, and they told me that they are working on it. Anyone else having issue using the hotspot?

    If your phone carrier supports it then you use the personal hotspot feature of the iPhone to connect to the internet on the iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4517

  • How can I edit image duplicates without changing the original?

    I have an imac 2.8ghz intel core duo, running iphoto '11.
    Id like to edit a large number of images whilst keeping a seperate album of originals.
    I've tried duplicating an album of images and then editing but the program edits all copies of the image in both albums.
    Ive tried relabeling the images before editing but that doesnt work either,
    any ideas?

    1 - iPhoto NEVER modifies the original and at any time you can revert to it or see it in edit mode
    2 - albums do not duplicat photos but are simply pointers to photos so they take no space so a change to the photo from any location changes it is all
    3 - if you want two copies then duplicate the photo - generally it is uncessary

  • Require a password for sleep and screen saver

    I click the box that is tick it becomes untick but when i close my laptop it ask me to enter my password in and then when i got to system prefferences it shows me the box tick when i unticked it.
    Please help

    Back up all data.
    Quit System Preferences if it's running. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select Services ▹ Reveal from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch System Preferences and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the file you moved.

  • Password after sleep but not when starting?

    I have set the option to require a password immediately after sleep or screen saver begins, and that works fine. Waking from sleep requires a password. However, if I shut down the computer and then start up again, I'm not required to enter a password. Can't seem to locate the settings to require a password in that situation.Any suggestions?

    That's under users in system preferences. Unlock if necessary and look under Login Options -> Automatic Login.

  • Why do I get sent to the User Login screen to enter my password after sleep?

    Hi,
    On OSX Lion, 10.7.4. I recently had to reinstall the OS on a new hard drive in my iMac and now have an issue with it that I never had before.
    After prolonged periods of sleep (I haven't determined what the minimum length is before this will happen), when I come to wake the computer it shows me the User Login screen. Under my user icon is an orange checkmark, presumably to show that I am the user logged in. Otherwise it is exactly the same as the User Login screen one gets when the computer boots up. I select my user icon and enter my password and the computer unlocks.
    I haven't got this set up anywhere, that I know of. I don't have the 'Security & Privacy - Require password for sleep and screen saver' option checked, never have. If I do turn that on just to check, it's a very different password screen, a little popup window in the centre of the dimmed screen.
    How do I turn this feature off?
    Thanks,
    Owen

    Sounds like you may have deleted something you shouldn't have. Boot to an OS X DVD or a bootable backup, and using Disk Utility, do a repair disk, and while there repair permissions. Disconnect any peripherals, and reboot. If you get the same startup behavior, do a safe boot, by holding the shift key down when booting. If that works, try a normal boot. If neither step helps, you may need to relaod your operating system.
