How do I require a password when the computer boots up (from shutdown)?

Hey guys,
How do I require the input of a password for my user account when my computer is off and then is booted up?
Thanks

Open System Preferences
Click on Accounts
Click on the padlock and enter password
Click on login options
There you should see an option to disable "automatic login". You should also notice some other options there that you may or may not want. They should be pretty self explanatory.
The Security panel has an option to require password after sleep or the screen saver is invoked if you need it.

    I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device?

    First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
    Mac:  iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
    PC:  iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
    Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

  • How do you get your password when the recovery email is no longer your email account?

    I can not remember my apple I'd password and the email address that I used to have no longer exists so they send the information there and I can't get it. When I answer the security question it doesn't correspond although I am pretty sure I know my birthdate. How do I access my apple I'd so I can update my apps. I even created another ID but that one doesn't come up when updating

    Did you create an entirely new ID or did you just change the Gmail address to a new email address on your existing ID?

  • How can I rename my iTouch when the computer recognizes it as a digital camera device?

    I just bought a new iTouch and I named it "Jamie's iPod". When I plug it into the computer, it recognizes it as a digital camera portable device as well. But the name of the digital camera device is different from what I named it, even though I never did name it. How do I change it?
    Even if I right-click it and go to properties to try to change the name, it doesn't work. (I use Windows 7.)
    Thanks in advance!

    On the Pc While your iPod Touch is Connected to your computer . You can go to the Decive Manger  > Portable Devices > Apple Ipod . Right Click and Uninstall ( This will not earse nothing) Then Unpulg the cable from your device and  replug it. Pow it chage to Apple Ipod as how the computer should read it. (becuase it looks cooler. and the computer is like you just plug a Apple iPod Portable Device)

  • How to grant new user permission when the acct is created from application?

    Our application team will randomly create users in DB. But the new user need to have the permission of "execute on DBMS_SNAPSHOT, DBMS_STAT, DBMS_SYSTEM" being granted from sys. We need to grant it automatically after the user is created. I was thinking about using DDL "create" trigger or just DDL database trigger. Once the trigger is fired off, issue the grant statement. We can capture the create even for the user, but got error when running the grant in the trigger or from the procedure called by trigger. My guess is that the "grant" is a DDL and DDL trigger cannot start another DDL statement. I also think about put the insert trigger on the sys.user$. But oracle would not let trigger being created on the sys tables or views.
    What can we do now? The other option, I am wondering if there is a system package that can call external program (like Unix shell script) from the DDL trigger, to let the shell script do the grant, since this may not be considered as the same execution tree. Do we have such package to call from database to the UNIX shell script? Or for such need, do we have any other option?
    Thanks for help!

    The application teams do not have the sys permission. If the application has privileges to CREATE USER, it can then issue GRANT
    Change the privileges.
    But they want this being resolved from DBA.DBA did NOT make this problem.
    The flawed application created the problem.
    Alternatively CREATE PROCEDURE that can issue GRANT & have application call this new procedure.

  • HP DM3 - Mouse Freeze's up when the computer wakes up from sleep mode.

    Hi Guys,
    I just had a DM3 with the 2.26 sp9300 intel chip built for me and every time the laptop goes to sleep and wakes up the mouse freezes up with a magnifying glass and its impossible for the mouse to do anything.  I have to tab over to the task manager and tab down to the power button to restart my PC and than it works again. Anyone know whats going on?  Driver problem? any updates yet?
    Thanks !!
    Jon

    Hello,
    I picked up my DM3 from PCWorld last night and I'm having the same problem every time (4 times) when I've closed the lid and re-open it again.  The magnifying glass appears and I can't move the pointer using the trackapd and have to restart the machine to gain control again. 
    Any word from HP on a solution?
    thansk,

  • Guys ... I have a 2008 MacPro running the current Yosemite.  I also have installed the sound amp called "BOOM!"  I have the Sound set to Line Out which should have the computer boot up to BOOM! Instead, it boots up to the Internal speaker. What's up?

    Hi Folks ...
    I have a 2008 MacPro running the current Yosemite. I have installed the recommended upgraded video card, but the sound is as it was new. I also have installed the sound amp/graphic equalizer called "BOOM!"  I have the Sound set to Line Out which should have the computer boot up automatically to BOOM!  and thus to the external speakers.  Instead, it boots up to the Internal speaker.  According to the folks at "BOOM!", this is happening to others who have similar Macs.  They can't find any explanation within BOOM!, so I am turning to you all.  Any ideas?

    Hi Kappy ...
    Sorry, I guess I didn't state the problem very well.
    I don't want the computer to boot up to the internal speaker.  I want it to boot up to the external speakers.  However, even though System Preferences is set on Line Out, when the computer boots up or reboots, it erroneously goes to internal speaker.  So, every time I boot up, I have been going to System Preference/Sound and clicking on Line Out.  From that point on, everything is OK until the next boot up.  It is a small annoyance, but annoying all the less. The simple explanation seems to be that when the computer is shut down, it does not hold the setting for Line Out and resets itself to Internal Speaker.  How do I change that behavior and get it to go to Line Out whenever it boots up?

  • My Mac got hacked. I was working on a word document when the computer suddenly started typing meaningful sentences on its own that describes how the hacker is skillful. At the that time I was on a password protected wifi and file sharing was off.

    This is the first time I get hacked this bad. I was working on a microsoft word document when the computer suddenly started typing meaningful sentences on its own that describes how skillfull the hacker is. At the that time I was on a friends wifi network that is password protected (not sure about the encyrption), the Os X Firewall was on. I was using the admin profile, however, file sharing was off. I'm very careful not to install any suspecious 3rd party software.
    So far I have verified permissions and fixed some errors there, and changed passwords.
    Do I have to erase/format my computer and reinstall the Os? If so is it adequte to use the internet recovery tool or will it use old and possibly infected EFI/Root files?
    Would appreciate the advice of all the Mac experts out there. Thanks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (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. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    { launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
    Step 4
    ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

    How do I change my wireless password when the old password is stored for the wireless connection?

    Similar issue but forget this network does not reset my problem. My IT staff came in to my office to check my network login. Asked if they could use my computer, I was in the middle of a big chunk of statistical code and said no. Asked if they could use my Ipad. Not thinking I said sure, they logged in with their credentials on the new network, now even if I hit forget and wait a half hour, as soon as I select that network it finds their old login and connects. How do I reset this login and password to ME?
