How do I stop iMail from asking for password over and over??

I have my keychain set up, but iMail keeps asking for my passwords (I have 3 POP accounts) over and over... sometimes up to 3 times in a row, then it will go away and a few min later pop back up. Why is it doing this and how can I fix it so I don't have to type it in a millions times a day!?

This has been asked and answered so many times; the summary is below. If I've missed any and none of those works, try searching for Mail Password and see if there is anything else in there.
Delete all of the Mail passwords from Keychain Access.
Run Keychain First-aid.
Repair disk.
Repair Permissions.
Re-enter Passwords in Mail.
One or all of those usually fix the problem.

How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folder within the artist folder.

How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folders within the artist folder and itunes moves the track/s whenever i try and load selected music to my ipod/iphone. I've tried to find some sort of preference to prevent this, but no joy? What am I missing?

Try opening iTunes preferences. Then click on advanced tab. Then uncheck "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library." By default, iTunes copies music to its own media folder when you use iTunes to play the music.

For restoring from backup itunes is asking for password

Hi Experts
for restoring from backup itunes is asking for password and i didn't give any password when backup was going on not even i checked on encrypt my backup.
please help me ASAP

See:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3057884
I too have experienced the "blame everything but Apple products/software" indoctrination of the Apple phone support techs!
I have a feeling that iTunes automatically switches encryption on and puts as default a previous iTunes store password but as I don't leave mine the same all the time (and don't feel the need to remember historic passwords that I'm not using to secure anything against) I have no clue what it is.
Good luck trying to get useful advice on here relating to the issue, it will go along the lines of...
1) Its your fault for setting it and forgetting the password,
2) We know everything and theres definately no way iTunes would set backups to encrypt without your knowledge and...
3) Theres no fix for this issue, you might be able to save some of your data, but most will be lost (unless you specifically ask for an iTunes redownload exemption/ token then your purchases could be lost too).

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

How do I prevent iTunes from automatically putting purchases onto my iPad?

I recently purchased an iPad and am putting my music on it from iTunes. After I put all of the songs on that I want, I find some of the songs that I purchased on the iTunes Store on my iPad, and I didn't even put them on there. It is as if my Store purchases are being put on my iPad automatically. I can't swipe them to the left so I can't delete them unless I wipe all of the music from my iPad - clearing the music off from iTunes doesn't clear them.
Are my purchased songs automatically being added? How do I prevent them from being added?
Some of the songs that I am putting on my iPad are songs that I purchased from the Store, but bought the physical album later.

Are my purchased songs automatically being added? How do I prevent them from being added?
5502,
You can do that from the iPad itself.
Go into your iPad and touch the Settings icon. Then, from the left-hand list, choose "iTunes & App Store."
This will give you a section about "Automatic Downloads." There you can enable or disable Music, Apps, and Updates.

How can i prevent itunes from splitting individual albums into multiple albums?

How do prevent itunes from splitting albums with various artists into multiple albums?
Thanks for your help!

It's probably better to put Various Artists into the Album Artist box rather than just "various". Make sure it's the Album Artist field though. In addition, you need to mark the album as a compilation. When setting the complete album, the Part of a compilation is on a drop-down menu on the File/Get Info/Options tab:
but if changing just one song, it's a tick-box on the Info tab:
and needless to say, the album name must be exactly the same for each track.

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.

Stopping program from asking for password?

I Installed smcfancontrol about 6 months ago on my macbook pro with no issues, however a month ago it started asking for my password every single time I tried to change the fan speed which was especially annoying as I have it set to change automatically when plugged in/unplugged so I was always being asked for password every 5 mins. Is there anyway to give it permission or something and go back to how it was for the first 5 months I had it?

Back up all data. Create one or more new "On My Mac" mailboxes and move the messages into them. Then delete the accounts. The messages will be preserved.
