I downloaded Lion but can't disable the automatic login, how do I change this?

When I downloaded Lion, I am always prompted to login. I was wondering how I can disable this.  I've tried to go to system preferences, to un-check the ability to disable automatic login but it is grayed out.  Is there a way to get around this?
thank you.

You need to click the lock to make changes. Go to System Preferences/Users & Groups
Select your Account and click the lock on the bottom left to make changes. Enter your Account Password/Click Login Options.  You should now be able to turn Automatic Login Off

  • How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something if i use firefo

    How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
    Windows Computer

    1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
    setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
    just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
    A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
    '''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
    2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
    it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
    It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''
    Ask questions, or go somewhere else.

  • How can i disable the automatic move command?

    how can i disable the automatic move command?  when i choose the move command it automatically moves whatever element that's selected, using the previous dimension used to move something.  Big Problem.

    went back to see if Preview was checked - it isn't.
    It happens when we double-click on the arrow to open the move dialouge box, but the box doesn't open - instead the selected item is automatically moved #!@**
    that's what we need to stop... any ideas?

    This is your husband's app, only your husband can update it. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that purchased them. No other Apple ID can update someone else's app.

    I set up a Restrictions code on my daughters ipod touch. Now she is old enough to get more things, but I cant remember the code. How do I fix this?

    - That is the only unless you have abackup made before the Restrictions were set up. In that case you can restore from backup.

    Hi Isk8ter,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    What version of Pages are you working with?  I'm assuming '09 since you reference OS X 10.7.4 above.
    I've included the link to the Pages User Manual for you below.
    Page 253 starts the chapter on Printing, Shareing and Exporting your document.
    Pages '09 User Manual
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA663/en_US/Pages09_UserGuide.pdf
    Setting the Paper Size and Orientation
    Before you print, you should make sure the paper size and orientation are set the way you want by opening the Page Setup dialog.
    To set paper size and orientation:
    1 Choose File > Page Setup.
    2 In the Page Setup dialog, choose the printer you will use from the “Format for” popup
    menu.
    3 Choose a standard paper size from the Paper Size pop-up menu.
    Also, see page 266 of the Pages User Manual for more specific instructions for creating a custom template for envelopes.
    Hope this helps ...

    I change my AppleID user name but iCloud still has the old AppleID, how do I correct this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

    My messages won't say the contact name only shows the phone number, how do you change this when the contact is in my phone under that number already?

    I thought that at first, but I have text this person before and had received responses in a timely manner. Its just weird that it all of a sudden removed their name.
    Would this affect the delivery of the text message?

  • Every time i download anything, it is saved as a binary file. how do i change this setting?

    every time i download anything, it is saved as a binary file. how do i change this setting?

    Here is a simple fix I found that worked for me.
    1) Clear your download history
    2) Go to Options > Options > General Tab: Change your download location to something other than what you currently have it set at. Apply the changes.
    3) Go back into the Options and change it back to what it was or whatever you want it to be.
    You should be all set from there.

  • When i send imessages they come from the wrong number, how do i change this to my number?

    When I send an imessage the receiver see's the number that came with the phone before my number was transfered from old provider. This was also the number that was listed under contacts as "my number". how do I change this?

    I had a similar problem when changing SIM cards during a journey to abroad. The new number was accepted, but after changing my SIM that number didn't disappear anymore. I wanted my number to be showed up in iMessage and FaceTime but no chance.
    Just to make it clear I'm not talking about the number you are able to change in the settings, I'm talking about the number related within your iMessage and FaceTime settings. I found out that the phone number remains, even if you change your Apple ID or your SIM card.
    Finally that worked for me:
    1. disable SIM PIN and remove your SIM card
    2. remove your Apple ID from the  iMessage and FaceTime settings
    3. restart your phone
    4. insert your SIM card
    5. activate iMessage without your Apple ID (wait a few minutes)
    6. send an iMessage to an iMessage compatible Email account (the phone should now use your actual phone number)
    7. activate your Apple ID within iMessage
    That worked for me.

  • I have a new Mac Mini. When I start it, the message and mail program's open automatically. How do I change this?

    When I boot up my Mac Mini, the mail and message program's open automatically. How do I stop this?
    I heard that all program's that are open when shutting down, will open again on booting up. I always close all program's before shutting down!

    Go to preferences and General and be sure the box is checked that states to close all programs on exit.  Also, right clcik your mail icon in the dock and under options be sure the open at login is not checked.
