How to Get Safari to STOP asking for Password

Whenever I start up Safari for the first time, it annoyingly asks for a password, and I've dismissed this prompt without typing in any passwords, and I've been able to continue doing what I'm doing. But how do I get Safari to stop asking for a password? I've read similar posts but nothing has been asked in exactly this way, as far as I can tell. What I've done:
- Gone into Keychain Access and deleted the only Safari-related item I find there, called "Safari Forms Autofill." This works temporarily but the password prompt comes back again, and this item appears again in Keychain Access.
- Gone into Safari Prefs Autofill and made sure Passwords was unchecked; it was.
Any ideas?

Aha, I've answered my own question: You have to uncheck the "Other Forms" option in Safari Auto-Fill Prefs as well. Ho ho ho all.

How to get Leopard to stop asking for password after waking from sleep mode

My regular userid does not have a password. When I boot the system, it goes directly in without asking for password. However, when Mac wakes from sleep, it asks for password. I just press enter.
Can I do something to make Mac skip over request for password when waking from sleep?
Thanks.
(The Mac is sleeping, not me.)

Open the Security pane of System Preferences and turn that option off.

How to get mac to stop asking for keychain password

I recently reset my keychain password but did not create a new one. Every time I open any application, like Safari for example, I am asked to enter my keychain password. I don't have one so I hit cancel. The box disappears, but 2.5 seconds later it reappears! I then have to keep clicking cancel as the box continues to reappear. Please somebody help! It's really annoying. iOS 10.9.5

How do i get itunes to stop asking for my password repeatedly?

how do i get itunes to stop asking for my password repeatedly?

The solution (for me at least) is to keep trying the same password that I know is correct. For me, the fourth try of typing in the exact same password works in iTunes on my iMac. I have repeated this several times, and each time it works.
I also reset my password, but the same problem occurs in iTunes. I have to type in my password four times in iTunes to get it to work.
iTunes is having issues. I can log in easily on the first attempt every time to post on this message board and I can sign in easily on my iPad 2 to get app updates, but in iTunes on my iMac it takes four attempts and then it works.
Apple needs to release a statement to the public telling people abut this. For Apple to know that this iTunes problem exists and that it is causing literally thousands of people to be stressed out is callous and uncaring.

Does anyone know how to get Adobe to stop charging for a subscription that is no longer being used?

Does anyone know how to get Adobe to stop charging for a subscription that is no longer being used?

For full details on cancelling a membership and subscription see the following page:
Cancel your membership or subscription | Creative Cloud
Depending on where you are in your subscription cycle / membership and the type of membership
If you have an individual membership, and opted for the annual membership (lower monthly fee). If you are cancelling in the middle of your membership, then you would be billed 50% of what's left of your membership for the remainder of the year, basically that would then in $$s become more like having taken out a month-by-month membership (higher monthly membership fee).
If you are in the last month of your annual membership or your are on a month-by-month membership, you can log into your creative cloud account, cancel the plan yourself (no additional charges apply), by logging in with your Adobe ID and password, click your name in top left of screen and click on Manage Account.

How to make my iphone stop asking for my friend's Apple ID?

First question: why does apple website logs me out every minute saying "session time out" or something(i'm using chrome on iPad)..!
Second Question: why after i typed such a big question and when i switch tab and come back to this tab, the tex disappears (both chrome and safari for iPad)?
Before going to my actual question:
I(from USA) have an iPhone 5 and iPad 4, and bought the same for my dad(India), He has his own apple account and mine is separate.
I've recently send the iPhone 5 (factory unlocking it for 10$ before sending it to him- I have proof of purchase for all 4 devices) after the 5s is released.
Third question: Why can't I add my dad's(Indian) phone number for iMessage?
Since I used that phone with my USA SIM card for 1 day before sending it to him, it remembered my phone number, but even after trying everything except complete reset on my dad's iPhone( since he can't manage to download all apps from scratch again) and didn't get a new sim yet, we tried everything but I couldn't make the Apple ID remember my dad's phone number..!
Fourth question: As my laptop broke, I used my friend's Mac to check the unlock is successful or not! Now when my dad tries to install an app from AppStore from his iPhone, it asks for password of my friend's Apple ID ,
My question is how to add his phone number and how to make it forget my friend's Apple ID
In Apple.com> manage Id> it doesn't show my friend's id anywhere. Do I need to de-authorize from his Mac?

Hi, I've tried a reset all, and restored from another backup(iCloud) and it stopped asking my friend's Apple ID(its been two days i've restored, and my didn't complain yet).
next, i've already tried all the steps you said.
my dad uses his gmail account for apple devices(same id for his iPad too), and i already checked "My Phone" number is set to my dad's phone number.
i asked my dad to turn off iMessage and Facetime, removed the sim, reset network settings and when he inserted the sim back, it shows his number, when he turns on the iMessage and logs in using his email, it shows my phone number..!
i went to view account, and it redirected to appleid.apple.com and i can see his phone number in the account.
checked the location, set to India, time zone and everything looks fine.
But the Apple ID is remembering my number instead of registering his number..!
BTW, can you elaborate your reply for my 3rd Question.
I've created a contact record with his name, phone number(with country code) and email addresses.
Now what is the next step..?
"setup phone to register with iMessage" can you explain this.
I'm planning to remove sim in my phone, restore it to new device, setup the required softwares etc, take an iCloud back-up and ask him to restore from that backup. Since, the Apple ID doesn't know any phone number, when he inserts sim and turns on iMessage it should register the new number..!

How do i make Keychain stop asking for my PW when I launch Entourage?

I have really never had to do anything with Keychain, ever since I started using OSX back in the 10.2.x days.
I just used my computer. No problem; it's a Mac! I kind of had a vague idea what Keychain was, but i really never interacted with it.
Same was true when I upgraded my non-Intel Powerbook from 10.3.9 to 10.5.8. Things went fine, for over a year.
But I recently had occasion to wipe my HD and reinstall 10.5.8.
Now, keychain asks for my login admin password every time I launch Entourage.
And no matter how many times i type it in, it never remembers.
That's a pain, and I have no clue how to make it stop doing that.
When I open the Keychain access utility and click on Help to try and learn what Keychain is all about, nothing happens. That's no help!
When I run Keychain Repair, it says everything is verified, and repair says there's nothing to repair.
Within the keychain access utility, i see a list of references to many of the passwords that I entered over the past several years and the sites I used them on.
Are all those passwords with their matching URLs stored somewhere on my Mac? I have always religiously NOT done this, for obvious reasons.
Makes me kind of uneasy, 'encrypted' or not. I'm always skeptical of the "trust me..." approach to computer security.
(If hackers can hack into the Defense Dept., the average Mac would seem to be a piece of cake.)
...Altho I suppose that could be a good argument for having DoD switch over to Macs....:-)
Anyway, keychain for me is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, and it has now become a bit of an annoyance and an inconvenience.
Whenever I need annoyances and inconveniences, I can always get those at work...on my Windows PC.
So how do I get Keychain to stop asking me for my Admin username/password every time I launch Entourage?

Hello,
>Are all those passwords with their matching URLs stored somewhere on my Mac?
Yes, that IS the Keychain.

But if it didn't you be bothered to put in hundrefds of usernames & Passwords a day most likely.

How do I get iCloud to stop asking for my PW?

I just got a MacBoook, and iCloud keeps asking for a password.
I never set up an iCloud account, and I don't know why it's doing this. How do I make it stop?

Can't explain why that would happen. If you haven't already done so, try simply restarting your Mac. You might also want to check System Preferences>Internet Accounts as well as the Accounts menu with apps like Mail (Mail>Accounts), Calendar, Contacts, Messages, etc. to be sure your iCloud account isn't listed (if you have one).

How do I get Lion to stop asking for a network server?

Hi all,
I keep getting a very annoying message after upgrading to Lion.
The message is: "there was a problem connecting to the server POZ.local"
It does not make any difference if the server is up, running and connected to the network either.
What can I do to get rid of this irritating dialogue box?
Thanks in advance all!
Patrik

I have the same problem. I suspect it has something to do with the versioning function, as it only seems to happen when I have a document open that I have made a change to. In my case it's asking for my NAS. Sorry I can't be more help.

Fiver

How can i make my iMac stop asking for passwords?

How on earth can I make my iMac quit asking me for passwords? I've tried a few attempts at resetting Keychain passwords. Nothing I do seems to change any behaviors. I'm also complete noob to Mac so go easy with the jargon. I've even had a session an apple support person and fixed it temporarily.
my imac is current with OS X 10.9.2

Printer won't stop asking for password authentication

I have a 15 inch Macbook Pro 2007 with the grey keyboard. The rest of my family uses PCs and the household is a PC workgroup. I successfully joined the workgroup in Windows sharing mode. We have an Epson R340 printer that I sucessfully added. I can print, but the irratating thing is that every time I print, it always asks for authentication of the password. This will not stop. I even added to my keychain and it wil not stop. How can I stop this?

I have the exact same annoying problem. How come after years of development of Apple softwares such problems still exists???????

How to get safari to remember login and password after I said do not remember

I went to a website through Safari and logged in and accidentally hit Never remember for this site and now I cannot get safari to remember the login and password. I have gone through preferences/passwords and the site is not listed and it will not allow me to add a site. I would love help with this since I log on to this site just about every day! Any suggestions?

It might be a corrupted keychain ...
Open Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Open Keychain Access then select Passwords on the left.
Right or control click a keychain then click Delete.
Back to Safari. Login to the website you want the password autofilled.
Click Yes when prompted to save that data to a new keychain.
Keep in mind, not all websites espcially financial institutions allow the autofill feature.
