How do I turn off the requirement to enter my password everytime I delete a file in finder?

Please take these steps if you're prompted for a password when moving items in your home folder to the Trash.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • How do I turn off the requirement to press control when using a function key

    When using my wireless keyboard, it requires me to press controls to use the function keys (F3, F5, F70.) However, this makes it so some of my games controls won' work,(For example, in Minecraft I can't access the debug menu.) Is there any way to disable this.Thank you for your support

  • How can I turn off the pop-up "Help HP Design Products You Want"? (8600 printer)

    The pop-up window "Help HP Design the Products you want" keeps returning every 5 minutes all day long
    regardless of how I respond to it!  Can this be turned Off?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    What printer are you using?
    What OS do you have?
    Does it give a program name when it pops up, or does it just give you that message and a couple of options to choose from?

  • All of a sudden, I need to use my password to drag a file to 'Trash'; how do I turn off the password requirement?

    I've had this MacBook Air for 9 months and never had to type a pasword in so I could drag a file to the trash. Yesterday, the computer started requiring me to type my password in so that a file could be dragged to 'Trash'. Why did this start happening, and how do I turn off the requirment for my password?

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Back up all data now. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state
    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 page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the Recovery screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • How can I turn off the WLS 6.1 security in order to develop my own application-based security module?

    Dear Colleagues,
    I am currently developing a J2EE application using WLS 6.1.
    My team and I have to implement a security requirement to suit our company's needs.
    The security requirements are that, users' password need to be aged (30 days maximum) and we need to provided a GUI front-end (JSP) to allow users to change their password when these expire after 30 days.
    Our internal contacts in the company, have already taken the lead to find out about whether we will be able to use the WLS 6.1 platform to do this and the answer we got back, was.
    Now we need to develop our own security module.
    I have 2 questions:
    1. How can we turn off the WLS security in order develop our own application-based security module?
    2. How can we develop a security module that allows us to age users' password and provide them with facilities to change their passwords when these expire?
    At the moment, we are using the default BEA WebLogic login.jsp page and there some configuration in the web.xml for this. I will be grateful if you could advise me on how to turn this default security off so that we can write our own security module.

    hi,
    1.You can write your own realm in 61 which can plugged for your security
    calls.

  • HT5858 how do you turn off the need to hit enter once the password is entered

    How do you turn off the need to hit enter once a password is entered?

    Can you try logging on as another administrative user?  (Make another user, if necessary.)
    And just for the heck of it, if you click the lock and unlock the rest of the controls, does the checkbox appear?
    Another thought: is your computer part of a Windows domain or other network?  Is there a policy on the network to require a screen saver password?  (For example on my office's Windows network, a screen saver password requirement is set in the Group Policy.  I'm assuming that something similar can be done with an OSX server, if you haven't joined the Mac to a Windows Active Directory network.)

  • How do I turn off the Icloud erase when the phone is turned on?

    My husband is a ship captain and He thought he lost his phone, I went through all the procedures of changing his account numbers etc on email
    only thing he has on his phone is facebook and email  . He didn't have the find my phone app on when he lost it so I deactived it on our cell provider
    and from I cloud I set up the find my phone to erase it when its turned on.
    Well yes he found it, so I have set back up with the cell service but how do I turn off the find my phone from erasing it when he turns it back on?
    And what is it going to erase??
    Will he still be able to use it as a phone at least?
    thanks for your help!

    Too bad.  It completely erases the phone so it will be like it was when it came out of the box.  He will need to go through the initial setup screens on the phone again to reactivate it before he can use it, and it will require entering his iCloud password to do so.

  • How do I turn off the screen lock feature on my IPhone 4S?

    How do I turn off the lock screen feature on my IPhone4S?

    You mean the passcode lock, or just the generic lock that requires no passcode?
    For passcode lock, go Settings > General > Passcode Lock, enter your passcode, and then disable the feature.
    For normal screen lock, go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock, and set it to 'Never'.
    Now your iPhone will only screen lock when you press the 'Sleep/Wake' button.

    Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode? Particularly when I have to do it before I turn on iTunes.

    How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.

    Follow those instructions and it will all be taken care of.

  • How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?

    Howdy,
    I have searched high and low in the preferences and found nothing that does the trick. How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?
    See attached screen shot. They are incredibly annoying. It's probably obvious, but I cannot find it anywhere on internets or this forum.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Nancy. Unfortunately that doesn't do it. I turned those off awhile back. Nor can I find anything under VIEW that seems to make a difference.  Just FYI: I'm on a Mac OS w/Dreamweaver CS6 - but this has happened on previous versions of DW. Thanks again.
