Lion asking for password when I drag an item to trash after and update

I have a Macbook Pro, I upgraded to Lion 3 weeks ago.  Yesterday it had an update that took about 1.5 hours.  Now, when I drag something in the trash, it asks for my computer password.  I don't want to give that to the other person sharing this computer. And, I don't really want to set up another user.  It worked until yesterday.  Anyone know what is wrong?

  • Hi I can't update my apps when I try to update it asks for password when used it goes back to update. I think I'm not alone and have tried changing date switching off signing out and in and rebooting. Is there a solution or do I need to take it in?

    I can't update my apps each time it asks for password when entered it goes straight back to update. I don't think I am alone in this. I have tried changing the date, rebooting, switching off and on signing out and nothing works. Does anyone know of a solution or will I have to take it to an apple shop. My misses has no trouble with her updates, they are both on iOS 6. Hope someone can help.

    Tried that just said cant connect to iTunes Store which was different.

  • Firefox keeps asking for password when I send emails

    Firefox version 35.0. When I open Firefox and get messages, no problems. When I write an email and send, Firefox asks me for password. I am able to send/receive emails while open. If I close Firefox and open, it asks for password when I send. Months ago, I changed my login password to Netzero.com (made it more secure). Since then, I've had this annoying password request. How to satisfy the login server password for receiving/sending emails?

    Is it Firefox asking for the password, or the web site? The only time that
    FF will ask for a password is if you have the '''Master Password''' active
    in the '''Password Manager.'''
    Open the '''Password Manager.''' There is a search bar at the top of the
    page. Enter the name of the site. Press the button '''Show Passwords.'''
    Is the information correct? '''Note:''' there may be more then one entry.
    '''Left''' click the icon in the address bar. A window for displaying site information should come up. Select '''More Information.''' At the top of the window, select '''Security.''' Now select '''View Saved Passwords.'''

  • Authenticated binding: Should be asking for password when joining OD?

    Hello,
    I have enabled "Authenticated Binding" under OD-Policies-Binding.
    When I join a computer from Accounts to OD, should the OD be asked for password? It just presents the dialog for autoconfigure services and it just binds, without any credentials.
    Is it how it suppose to work?
    Regards
    Kostas

    So after unlocking the lock, entering your password, and clicking on Login Options, the checkbox for autologin is greyed out? Did you try clicking the toggle box anyway? Does that bring up a blank dropdown menu? Did you click on the little triangle?

  • Mail contantly asking for password when iPhone is on?

    Mail constantly asks for password. I have repaired keychain, deleted the email account and reset it. re-installed the system from scratch. It now seems that if the iPhone and the macbook pro are on at the same time the password issue is relentless if the iPhone is off then the password is asked for once only and then works normally. Surely I can have them both on. Yes I have the mail accounts prefs set up correctly. any help - please

    John,
    Try repairing disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Thunderbird 31.3.0 Mac Yosemite. Thunderbird does not ask for password, when there are no passwords saved

    Have deleted account.
    Created new existing mail account, enter server details, click test - the server details are found automatically. Then enter password and click ok - then Thunderbird hangs forever while saying that password is ok.
    Alternatively - create new existing mail account without entering password, click ok, then procedure goes through, and the email gets created. However, it never asks for password. Even upon restart of Thunderbird and machine. There are no passwords saved under security settings

  • HT1338 I bought my mac book pro from an owner selling. I created my apple ID but whenever I try to download updates it brings up previous owner's apple ID and asks for password. How do I delete existing apple ID and use mine.

    I bought my mac book pro from an owner selling. I created my apple ID but whenever I try to download updates it brings up previous owner's apple ID and asks for password. How do I delete or by-pass existing apple ID and use my created apple ID and password to enable updates for my Mac?

    Yes, he purchased Mountain Lion on his Apple ID. It is licensed to him. What he should have done was erase the HDD and install the system that the Mac shipped with. Erase and re-install either from Recovery Partition or the disks the Mac originally shipped with. Then, purchase ML with your own Apple ID and install.

  • Keeps asking for password when deleting file ?

    I updated to Mac OS Lion and now every time I delete any file it asks me for my password. Any file - be it on the Desktop, in the Downloads folder or in any other place. It asks me for my password every time.
    That behaviour is annoying. Is it the new default? Or there is something wrong?
    Thanks

    1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/.Trash
    2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
    4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
    5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
    6. Close the Info window and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • MBP not consistently asking for password when opening lid

    While I'm an IT consultant with 30+ years in the PC world, I'm relatively new to the Mac world having just bought my first Mac, a rMBP 13" Late 2013.  While I tend to be pretty decent with troubleshooting, I'm having a sporadic issue with it that I'm not sure how to solve.
    My desire is to have the unit always ask for a password whenever the lid is opened. 
    The problem is that about one out of every ten times, when I open the lid on the Macbook it just unlocks and goes straight to the desktop without asking for a password.  Being in IT, and frankly maintaining a lot of confidential/security information for my clients, I'm hesitant to take this unit out of the office until I can resolve this issue once and for all.  9/10 times it opens up to the lock screen and asks for my password, which is what I want.  But three times in the past week, it has opened straight to the desktop, ready for use.  This is a security concern--if the unit is stolen I don't EVER want anyone to be able to log into it and see the data on it.  But if it's just opening straight to the desktop it circumvents that protection.
    Under Security and Privacy, I have "Require password 5 seconds after sleep or screen saver begins" set, along with (grayed/checked) "Show a message when the screen is locked" and "Disable automatic Login" set.  Each of the times I've noticed the lack of password has been after the lid was closed for a while, definitely more than an hour.  Earlier today, it happened after te notebook had been closed for at least several hours.  It's happened both with the power connected, and running on battery.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    If after you set the Require Password immediately and it still doesn't ask for the password then your Mac is not going into Sleep mode when the lid is closed. I have seen this happen on my 2011 model after it has been running for days, sleeping and awake for those days. I'lll close the lid at night or when I leave for work and the front white light will come on but not flash, on for a few seconds then off for a few.
    A restart fixes it but I never had this problem when Lion or Mt Lion were installed. Only since going to Mavericks. I haven't checked it lately since 10.9.2 but I will. I usually shut it down now when I know I'm not going to use for a period of hours.

  • Terminal Window asking for password when opening

    I don't know what happens but everytime I open a terminal window its ask me for password. If I type my admin password it starts saying that can't found my ~ directory and starts in :/ instead of :~
    It is also showing ttys001 instead of 000 as usual.
    I don't know what it is, I think it have some relation with closing terminal windows without logging out of a ssh section, but I don't know how to resolve it. I tried reboot, "exit", delete com.apple.terminal
    Any sugestion?

    This is just a wild guess, but might there be a "sudo" command in a file in your home directory that's run when you launch a Terminal session, such as .bash_profile, .bash_login, or .profile? (This list assumes that you're using bash as your shell.)

  • Asking for password when signing a document

    In Acrobat 9 standard, when signing a document with a Windows Digital Signature, how do you set it to ask for a password?

    The product acts for a password when it can't identify and verify the signer is supposed to have access to the signing certificate's private key. You can't control what happens on the signer's end in all cases. If you want to set restrictions on specific fields, look up "seed values" in the Dig Sig Guide.

  • [solved]Sudo asking for password when it shouldn't through a sh script

    Bottom of my sudoers file looks like this:
    user username = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/g15daemon
    user username = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/g15stats
    Shell script looks like that:
    #!/bin/sh
    sudo /usr/bin/g15daemon -k &
    sleep 2 && sudo /usr/bin/g15daemon &
    sleep 5 && sudo /usr/bin/g15stats
    If I run these commands from the terminal they work as intended (no password) but when I execute that shell script it asks for a password.

    I've seen this claim before on these forums, but that's not true:
    man sudoers wrote:A simple file name allows the user to run the command with any arguments he/she wishes.
    The reason it doesn't work is the "user username" part. You probably have an actual username there that you don't want to share with us, but then what exactly is the difference between "user" and "username"? The second element should be a host list:
    man sudoers wrote:The basic structure of a user specification is “who where = (as_whom) what”.
    To keep it simple you can use ALL for both "where" and "as_whom".

  • New Mac Book Pro does not ask for password when waking from sleep

    I've noticed that several others are having this problem. I have tried all of the suggestions on the other posts and have had no luck getting it to work.
    I have it set to "require password to wake this computer from sleep or screensaver".
    When I wake the computer in the morning it requires a password but if I wake it after and hour or two it does not. I have my screensaver set to turn on after 4 minutes but it never asks for a password when when I come back to my computer.
    I think this is a bug and Apple should deal with it in a security update.
    I'm open to any more suggestion though.
    Thanks,
    Tevadar

    FYI, you can also lock your screen manually if you like. Launch Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access, select Keychain Access menu > Preferences > General tab, and check the box to "Show Status in Menu Bar." That places a padlock icon in your menu bar, and clicking on that will give you the option to Lock Screen.
