Is there a way to bypass password entry when starting.

I've installed Yosemite on my MacBook Pro. Now I must enter my password each time I reboot or start-up. Is this absolutely necessary, and if not, how do I get around it? Thank you.

Yosemite: Automatic Ligin turned off?
Turn off FileVault if it is turned on.
System Preferences > Security and Privacy

Are you using iCloud password as login password?
If that is the case, change the login password.
System Preferences > Users & Groups
Select the account and click the “Change Password” button.
Change it.
Enable Automatic login in Users & Groups pane of System Preferences.

I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now her password won't allow her into my computer, even though it says it's her account. Is there any way to bypass the password screen?

I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now the password that she used on her computer isn't working on this computer. Is there any logical reason why the two passwords would be different, if I restored her information from a Time Machine backup? Aditionally, Is there a way to bypass the password page on startup to make a password that my mom knows?

If Disk Warrior does not work you can try the following steps (but they may not work if the disk has a hardware error).
Get the disk (DVD or CD) that came with the system (since you have it listed as 10.6.8). If it is 10.7 or 10.8 use the Recovery partition to boot from or the USB installer if you have that option.
Insert the disk then power down
HOLDING the C key, power up to boot from the disc.
Get to Disk Utility
If Disk Utility will now show your hard drive, use DU to REPAIR the disk.
When it completes the Repair process successfully as indicated in DU, do a shut down. If Repair is not successful then an different course of action is indicated below.
Then HOLDING THE APPLE (or Command key depending on your keyboard) KEY AND THE OPTION KEY AND THE LETTER P AND R KEYS, continue hiolding them until you hear the chime tone for the THIRD time then release all four keys.
If REPAIR is not successful, use the Install disc as a boot and REINSTALL THE OS X OPERATING SYSTEM DO NOT ERASE THE DISK OR VOLUME FIRST. REPEAT DO NOT erase the disk or volume before trying to reinstall the OS X operating system. After re-installing the OS do a software update. Note that ERASING the disk is NOT required to do an OS re-install. This allows your existing data and application files to remain.
If that fails then you are down to the "bitter end" of erasing the volume and reinstalling the OS and then all the other software.
If erasing the Volume fails then your last hope is to completely erase the entire hard drive, repartion the disk and try a re-install.
If that fasils then you may have a defective hard disk.

I assume that you don't have the installation discs, so:
1. Reboot
2. Hold command + s key down after you hear the chime.
3. When you get a text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
(Type these commands very carefully)
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
4. You will go through the setup process again, create a new admin account, login to it and then change your existing account password or whatever else you need to do. You can delete the account you made in this process, or not.

Is there a way to store UserName entry without using LMS?

Is there a way to store UserName entry without using LMS? I'd like to create ID and password..seemingly like a registration form in captivate..is this possible?

If you're not talking about storing form field data in some external database (such as an LMS) then your next best option is to store it on the users machine as cookie data.
However, Captivate doesn't provide such a mechanism out of the box. Neither can you do it via Advanced Actions (though that would be an excellent enhancement to AA for Cp6).
It's more the sort of thing that Captivate widgets were designed to do.

Late reply, but if anyone is experiencing the same problem, I've found a solution. For whatever reason, some macbooks don't recognize usb flash drives during the boot-up phase, even though the usb ports themselves are powered (I tested this with a multimeter). The solution then, was to use an external USB hard drive that has its own power supply to install Snow Leopard. I don't know why, but it's the only way I got my macbook (Macbook 2,1/A1181) to recognize the install drive. Every was smooth sailing from there!

Is there a way of not displaying entries in the Blog based on today's date

Hi,
I'm using the Blog layout in iWeb for a calendar.
Somewhere in this discussion forum, I found how to sort the entries by increasing date (many thanks for that).
The question I have: Is there a way of not displaying entries in the Blog overview of which the date is in the past ?
Thanks

Hi Cyclosaurus,
the link you refer to (http://test.cyclosaurus.com/Site/Blog/Blog.html) seems to be broken. I can't see the script.
Can you sent me a script to automatically hide events from the past (based on today's system date) ?
please note that I use following script to reverse the summary (which i found in the discussion forum):
<script type='text/javascript'>
function reverseSummary() {
blogSummaryWidget = parent.document.getElementsByClassName('com-apple-iweb-widget-blogSummary flowDefining')[0].widget;
blogEntries = blogSummaryWidget.blogFeed.itemCount();
blogSummaryWidgetID = blogSummaryWidget.instanceID;
blogSummaryContentDiv = parent.document.getElementById(blogSummaryWidgetID + '-summary-content');
if (blogSummaryContentDiv.childNodes.length > 0) {
for (be=1; be<blogEntries; ++be) {
bi = (blogEntries - 1) - be;
blogSeparator = parent.document.getElementById(blogSummaryWidgetID + ('-separator-template$' + bi));
blogSummaryContentDiv.appendChild(blogSeparator);
blogEntry = parent.document.getElementById(blogSummaryWidgetID + ('-item$' + bi));
blogSummaryContentDiv.appendChild(blogEntry);
clearInterval(chkSummary);
chkSummary = setInterval('reverseSummary()', 1000);
</script>

Is there a way to bypass all inserts on a track at once?

When recording with a ton of inserts, the latency is in the vicinity of about .5 seconds - so is there a way to bypass all inserts on a channel at one?
So far, I have to open each one and hit "bypass" but I do it so much, since I need to hear it after the inserts, it ends up taking a lot of time.
I also tried to save the channel setting, reset the channel, then re-insert the channel, but then all automation is lost....

Not as far as I know, but there are two things that might help.
1) You don't need to open a plug-in to bypass it - just option-click on its insert slot.
2) Check out low latency mode. (prefs -> audio -> general) which will bypass plug-ins which exceed your latency preference. Click it off when you're done.

Is there a way to just password protect a folder instead of Home?

Is there a way to just password protect a folder on your computer?

No.
You would need to create a password protected (encrypted) diskimage using Disk Utility. For details use the search page for other discussions.

If I backed up with a newer version of iOS than the phone I am trying to backup to.. Is there any way to bypass the setup assistant in order to download the new iOS on the new phone then go back and restore from my old phone?

Try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

That is what Activation Lock of iOS 7 does
In addition, it renders the iPhone totally useless to anyone who doesn't know your Apple ID and password.
