Keeps asking for authentication

Trying to move photos from my desktop into folders, and it keeps giving me the message "The item (photo name) can't be moved because (folder name) can't be modified." Then gives me two choies: "Authenticate" and "Cancel." I enter the password and it happens. How can I move stuff without giving my password every time? Using a MacBook Pro, OS 10.8.2.  --Tom in Texas

Select that folder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and give yourself write access in the Sharing & Permissions section.

  • Proxy server keeps asking for authentication

    My MacOS10.7.3 server coordinates a small subnet of 100 macs. To access the internet as provided by the larger organisation we must go through a proxy server. Unfortunately the proxy server keeps asking for authentication and checking the Remember This Password barely helps. Any tips would be appreciated.

  • My Mac keeps asking for authentication when I change things.  Why?

    When saving or making changes the MAc has since I installed Mountain Lion started telling my I can't perform those tasks without authenticating first.  How can I get rid of this annoying message?

    What changes are you making? Some changes require admin authentication and there's no way around that.

    Hi,

    Things I tried
     - I have created new outlook profile - still same problem

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290684
    Only happening on Office 2013 not office 2007
    One thing I did notices when I was debugging the problem.
    When I removed the office and reinstalled the problem went away for
    whole 1 week but then on Monday it start asking for password again which
    makes be thing that they is something in group policy which is causing
    this.
    We are using
     - Windows 7
     - Office 365 (2013)
     - Our emails are being hosted by Microsoft clod
    I don't know what else to try or check.

    Hi,
    Does this issue happen to all clients or a special one?
    Please first check if Logon network security under More Settings on the Microsoft Exchange
    Security tab is set to a value other than Anonymous Authentication.

  • WPA2 enterprise: keeps asking for accept cerificate

    hello,
    we have a wireless network protected with 802.1x protocol. The problem is OS X Mountain Lion keeps asking for accept certificate each time when user tries to connect to the network. After Acceptation the certificate the connection is established successfully, but it's anoing to approve certificate on each time.
    selecting "Always trust" doesn't change anything.
    I've also tried to create profile by using "iPhone Configuration Utility" but in this case a'm not able to connect at all because of error "The identity of the authentication server could not be established". I;'ve tried to add into profile both server's certificate and certificate's CA, still with no success.

  • Cannot receive/send emails via Mail on Mac using 10.6.8, keeps asking for password, very frustrating. Any ideas please? Regards

    Cannot receive/send emails via Mail on Mac using 10.6.8, keeps asking for password, very frustrating. Any ideas please? Regards

    One more time, iCloud mail accounts are .me, .mac and .icloud. New ones are only .icloud.
    iCloud mail is a standard Imap account that can be used with any mail client in existence. But You are talking about the ability to automatically setup an iCloud account in mail, which did not exist until 10.7.2.
    You can use password or token authentification with iCloud mail (in Mail) it is your choice.
    Set the account manually, set it as Imap, use imap.mail.me.com (no P number) for the incoming email and smtp.mail.me.com as the outgoing server.
    The full settings (ports and security) are here. Use them and it will work, regardless of domain (mac, me and icloud addresses all use the same settings.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 993
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead. SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud. 
    For more information on how to use this information with your email application, consult your application's documentation.

  • HT2954 it keeps asking for incoming mail server

    For some reason my mail has stopped working. The page keeps asking for an incoming mail server. I put in imap.mail.me.com and that is not working. Also, I can't put in my Google mail either. Has apple just stopped using the mail feature? I had a mobile me account and switched to ICloud and now I have all kind of glitches.
    Very frustrated.

    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com

  • Lion PAC proxy asking for authentication reapeatedly

    Hello, Can some bro help with this problem which never happens with the same PAC proxy on Snow Leopard, like title says, Lion (10.7.2) frequently pops up the dialog asking for the authentication for the proxy server.

    Do not use the suggestion to unload the notification center.  That does not fix the problem.
    This post provides the correct solution.
    Usually a proxy authentication dialog allows the user the option to 'allow once' or 'always' etc, and to save the proxy login details to the user's login keychain.
    But under both 10.8 and in particular 10.9 whenever a proxy is in use, the user gets bombarded with multiple recurrent proxy authentication dialogs without any save options and without any identifier.
    Using the terminal command nettop, I discovered that the offending dialogs come from system processes, most notably syncdefaultsd.  (How to do this at the end of the post)
    The problem is that syncdefaultsd is not keychain aware. It needs access to the user's proxy settings at regular intervals, but can't get them from the user's login keychain. It's proxy request dialog does not have the option to save the details to the user's keychain, and worse still does not identify syncdefaultsd as the requesting process. Even if you open your login keychain to allow any application access to your proxy, syncdefaultsd will still keep asking for your proxy details.
    The solution is to ensure that you have working proxy settings saved in the *system* keychain, not just your personal login keychain.
    So when you next get one of these dialogs:
    1. Note the server name that is requesting authentication, the port (usually 8080) and if it is an http or https request. Typically it will be something in the form https://someproxyserver.someorganization.com:8080
    2. See if you already have an entry for that server in your login keychain. If not, make one manually, (being sure to enter the whole thing as per the example above with the :8080 at the end). Typically that there needs to be two separate keychain entries per proxy server, one for http and a second for https, though syncdefaultsd only uses https.
    3. Once you have login keychain entries for the proxy server, double-click them and ensure that under Access all applications are allowed, and that your user name is saved.
    4. Now for the fun bit. Option-drag and drop these entries into your system keychain. Click on the system keychain, and confirm that they are there, and that all the settings are exactly right.
    For good measure, do a shift-restart then a normal restart.
    You should now get no more annoying dialogs for that particular proxy server. If your proxy server has more than one alias, or if you have several, then whenever you get a new unidentified dialog, repeat the above.
    I discovered it using the terminal command nettop, typing into the terminal:
    nettop -m tcp
    This lists all active network processes. If you quit all apps you should still see quite a few network processes. If you see syncdefaultsd, wait for it to go away, or kill it via the Activity Monitor. If you haven't done the fix as above, and you open Safari, you'll see syncdefaultsd open shortly after Safari, and the annoying dialog immediately appears. After the fix is implemented, the dialogs don't appear when syncdefaultsd tries to start up.
    Hope this helps someone, and that Apple fixes it in 10.9.1
    Cheers
    Chris.

  • Urgent help required - linked subreport keeps asking for parameter value

    Greetings,
    I have developed a report in the Crystal Reports bundled with Visual Studio 2005. The data is obtained from a stored procedure. One of the fields in the result set is named "Id".
    I have embedded a subreport in the details row of the main report. The subreport also gets its information from a stored procedure. This stored procedure has one parameter named "OpportunityId". This field is linked to the field named "Id" above. the subreport has been set to supress blank subreports.
    In the development environment and running the executable of the application on the development machine the report works perfectly. The subreport displays as it should and all is well.
    When I deploy the report onto user machines where they have the crystal runtime installed, the report keeps asking for a parameter value for the subreport.
    I cannot get this to stop happening.
    This report is urgently required. PLEASE could someone help me out here.
    I am at my wits end.
    I have attached a zipe file containing the following:
    - the two stored procedure
    - the rpt file
    - a sample report
    - a screen showing the report having just been generated
    Thanks in advance,

  • ICloud Restore stuck - keeps asking for old Apple ID

    Hello,
    I've just gotten a iPhone 4S that I want to restore from an iCloud backup (I've had a 3GS previously). Unfortunately I'm running into problems as the restore process just doesn't finish. Some settings are restored just fine (contacts, messages, browser history, ...) while others are causing problems. In particular the photos & apps are not being downloaded. Apps are recognized but just sit on my screen "waiting".
    I suspect that the cause for all this is that the last backup is from March 2012 (my 3GS died then) and in the meantime I've changed my Apple ID. During the restore it keeps asking for my old Apple ID, which is not longer active & I cannot log into.
    Now I'm stuck since the phone decides to set the iCloud account to the old one and this cannot be changed as it tells me that I cannot delete the iCloud account during a restore is in progress...
    Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Unforunately I don't have an iTunes backup and I really don't want to lose my data (especially the photos).
    Cheers,
    Florian

    The solution to fix this mess was to temporarily change my AppleID name back to the one that was active when the iCloud backup was being made.

    Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
    Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
    It depends on how amicable the split is...
