It won't stop asking for my password on start-up!

I turned it on a while ago but now I can't turn it off and it's rather annoying. I know you go into System Preferences then Security and it should just be a case of unchecking the box next to it, but for some reason whenever I restart it still asks. What's more, I'll go back into System Preferences and it's STILL unchecked!
After turning it off I always lock the pane but times I come back and it's unlocked. Does anyone know what's going on? Is one of my preference files messed up and, if so, which one do I have to delete to fix it?

Defining it would help. Check System Preferences->Account->click on the lock, enter your password, click on Login Options, and select automatically log in as->user.

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.

My iPad won't stop asking for my Apple ID no matter what I do. What do I do?

My iPad won't stop asking for my appl no matter what I do. I've tried resetting but I can't even look for waiting apps, because it won't stop asking.

Did you check if you are still logged in with your info in Settings/iTunes and AppStore/AppleID?
If yes, Did you try to log out, reset the iPad, and log in again with your Apple ID?

ITunes 9 won't quit asking for my password.

I watch a lot of TV shows on iTunes, and I've never had a problem like this before. Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 9, after each episode finishes, it wants me to put in my password several times, and it won't start downloading the next episode until I do. Sometimes I have to sign in 4 or 5 times in a row, and then it takes me to the "Apple Account Information" page of the iTunes store -- even though I never clicked on it.
It's a big problem, because my connection is a slow one and I usually leave the computer on at night or when I'm at work, but now it keeps stopping after each download to ask for my password, and it won't start the next episode unitl I do.

How to make Outlook stop asking for a password when you no longer have a valid password?

Many people have asked how to get Outlook to stop prompting for a password, but the answers given are for people who have a valid password. My question is different. You've graduated from school or left your job. You no longer have access to an Exchange
server. Within Outlook, you have an historical archive of your emails messages and you need to keep them. You can't send email because you no longer have access to that Exchange server, but you have a local cache of the address book in Outlook, which is valuable
to you and you want to continue to be able to use.
How do you keep the account in Outlook but have it stop prompting you for a password in this specific case? Remember, you never will have a valid password to this Exchange server again.

Well you can manually recover your lost PST password with the command Pst19upg.exe -i filename.psx then press enter. After using this
command your pst files will be free from password and you can easily again use your outlook files. You can also recover pst password with the assist of pst password recovery tool.

OEM stopped asking for a password.

when i open the stand alone Enterprise Manager and then the DB , it logon automatically choosing a particular user., it stopped asking for connection and stoped asking for a user name and a password.
Any advice.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, this will occur if you have the checkbox selected to remember the login info as the Preferred Credentials when you log in. You can delete the Preferred Credentials, then you will have to log in manually each time. You will have to check to see if you are relying on the Preferred Credentials for any jobs you may have submitted.

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???????

Do you still have access to the old email account? If so, see if you can verify the ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Verify (or Resend) under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email. Then go to the account and click the Verify Now link in the email from Apple.

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

Suddenly stopped asking for master password, cannot connect to servers.

I didn't make any changes to Windows or Thunderbird that I'm aware of, but it just completely stopped working. I have/had it configured with a master password, it always asked before contacting the mail servers. Now it goes straight to the inbox, lets me view my old messages with no password, and refuses to connect to any of 3 accounts.
Windows 8.1
Thunderbird 31.5.0
*Edit: Never mind, I tried using the Wifi through my phone, and even with one bar it's better than the landline. I guess the connection was so bad it wasn't even starting. Works on other network.

FYI: The master password only limits access to your saved passwords. It is not designed to and will not keep anyone from getting to emails already downloaded to your computer. That is not what is is for.

DVD St. Pro won't stop asking for serial number even after I've entered it.

Hey everyone,
I just bought a new copy of Final Cut Studio 2, and I've installed everything. I've noticed, though, that DVD Studio Pro keeps asking me to enter the serial number upon startup even though I have already entered it multiple times. Any ideas?

My iPad has stopped asking for my apple I'd password when downloading apps. I want it to ask for password because my kids keep downloading apps without asking. How do I rectify this?

My apple I'd has stopped asking for my password when downloading apps to my iPad. I want it to ask every time. I edited it unknowingly and I need to change it back. Please help! Thx

Assuming that you've got the relevant iOS version on the iPad, then you can change it from a 15 minute period during which it doesn't need to be re-entered to immediately via Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password

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.

My MacBook Pro keeps asking for my password. How do I stop that? Thanks

How can I make my MacBook Pro stop asking for my password every time I go in and out of the internet? Thanks

You need to enter the passwords for your wifi router/modem. Ask the person who set up your new modem.
SInce you changed syncing computer you have to do this too if you have not done so already:
