Finder asking for password

Recently, even If I copy paste files from different folders or rename files, my mac says, "Finder wants you to make changes and asks the password".
It wasnt like that all the time. How do I get it back to normal again ?

Did you change the permissions somehow? It sounds like th permissions are messed up.
See this thread on how to reset you home folder permissions: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3578673

Mavericks finder ask for password for any change

Finder asking for password password

Ever since Lion a couple of folders have asked for an administrator password if I try to delete or move anything in them, it hasnt been much of a problem but I have a lot of work in the folders and its getting to be a real issue now.
I've looked around and the recomended terminal fix: sudo chown your_user_name ~/.Trash doesn't work, how can I fix this?

I gave that a try, seemed to be doing as the post said when restarted as spotlight started indexing imediatly, but its an SSD and stopped after a few seconds. and its not worked, even tried again and then with my admin only account too.
The folder is on the HD though, could that be causing issues?

CS6 Master Collection asking for password after months of use

Why is CS6 now asking for a password again after months of use? I have already entered a valid passwork upon installation. I am running Mountain Lion on a 15" Macbook Pro. I launch Photoshop, and then I get this screen
But I already have a password and have installed CS6 six months ago. Even when I enter the password, it does not stick and I et this dialog box on every launch.

Tom,
Can you provide the AMT3.log for a look , it may help us in knowing the problem.
you can find the file at the below location:-
\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp
Also please move the cache.db file to the desktop then launch the software, serialize it with the serial number and then close it and Re-open it.
The location for cache.db file is : Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/cache

Mac keeps asking for password to put apps in trash?

Ever since I made a new account on my mac (which mind you, doesn't even have a password) Certain apps will go in the trash, and other apps will not go in the trash directly..you have to go into finder, trash, then it asks for your password. I don't ever remember having to do this before I made the new account, and it's very frustrating
I have tried repairing permissions time and time again but to no avail. This annoys me so much I wish I could just reinstall the whole OS, but i don't have the disc. I'm using a late 2008 Macbook with snow leopard..any suggestions?
The exact window that comes up says "Type your password to allow finder to make changes." in the details, it says "Right: com.apple.desktopservices" "Application: Finder". I haven't found anything on the internet that matches the same issue have, so please help me. Thank you!

I have a hunch that, for me, the issue is because I have two different accounts synced. I have my parent's account for the App Store and my personal account linked to iCloud and all those services. I've noticed that when I update apps, I would sometimes have to log out of one and into the other because one app might be on one account and not the other. I'll get around to moving everything to one account sooner or later, but it isn't an immediate issue to me. Just a minor inconvenience.

Why pop up is shown to ask for inputing sales order when using COR1

I want to create a process order with order type PI01, but pop up window is shown to ask for sales order when using COR1. I suppose there is something wrong with material master setting, but I've never set classification to this material.
Please help.

Hi Nichole
Is the material assigned to any MRP group , if yes then check the config settings on t-code OPPR, if stg group is assigned. also check the matrial type to default MRP group assignment settings in SPRO>production>mrp>MRPgroup> Define MRP Group for Each Material Type.

Finder asks for password everytime I apply a tag

How can I get rid of this?
Already tried Disk Utility Permissions Repair, but i think there is some kind of configuration to stop this.
Anyone may help me? Thanks a lot.

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) 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.

Can no longer open anything without finder asking for password verification, but not accepting password

I plugged in an external DVD/CD burner but finder won't let me use it, and a message comes up saying "Finder wants to make changes, type your password to allow this' however, when I type my password it will no longer accept it and has an error code -128 message come up. I can also now not do anything on the desktop without the same finder password verification request happening. Have tried restarting the computer twice with no luck. Running system OSX10.8.2

This might be a rare case in which Repair Permissions in Disk Utility is worth a try.

You aren't going to be able to delete it without the correct password. If it's your ID, you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If it isn't your ID, you will have to get the password for the person who owns the ID. There's no way around this and no one else can help.

Why is the finder asking for my password now in Mavericks?

Every time I want to delete a file, the Finder asks for my password to do this.
Anyone know how to I can turn this off?

What steps did you perform to install Mavericks?
It sounds like there's a permissions mismatch between your account and those files. If you ask the Finder to do a "get info" (File > Get Info), what do you see in the "Sharing & Permissions" section? Compare that will a file you just created.
There's a way to reset the permissions of your files while in "recovery mode" (boot with command-R held down), but I can't give you details.

Finder keeps asking for password verification

Finder keeps asking for password verification when I ask to move or delete a file.
How can I stop this from happening?
Thanks in advance.

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
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 from your recovery partition 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 desktop 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.
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.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out of the account from your iOS device first, then sign back using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
