Mac OS X Sharing  Username and Password

I would like to know how I can find out what my username and password is for Sharing. When I go to Network>Sharing I don't see an option for it.

You can set up whatever you want.
If you log in as you, you will have access to everything you have access to while directly logged in.
If you create a Sharing Only user, you can set up a separate username and password and specify the folders that user has access to.
Edit: You can also set it up through the Sharing preference pane. Add the folder/folders you want that person to have access to. Then, for the user permissions, click the add ( + ) button and select New Person.

  • Remembering username and password

    from one day to the other my Mac does not remember username and password of a website where it works for years. How can I make him remember again these  data, instead of introducing 10 times a day user and password???
    Thank´s in advance, Stepha

    Hello, are you using Safari?
    If so, Safari>Preferences>Autofill, wgich are you using there? You can edit them there also.

  • Firefox 7.0.1 does not remember/fill in username and password in Mac version although on Windows it works, so it's not the website preventing password being saved. what is up and how can this be fixed ?

    There are several sites where I now have to type in my username and password each time I return, such as turnitin.com. (I'm a teacher and use this for grading). Friefox used to be able to remember this for that site and it still works at my office where I have a windows machine. Not working on my Mac OS 10.6.8 and it is really annoying to have to retype every single time; it's not a financial site or anything so why can't the Firefox browser remember and re enter my info?
    And no, turnitin does not currently support Firefox 7 but it is only up to firefox 4 and up until now firefox at least worked to remember passwords.
    I looked at http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Username%20and%20password%20not%20remembered and I have checked all the recommended browser settings and am not set to private browsing; the sites where this happens are not set in exceptions to remembering, and they are not set to be cleared automatically
    So, what's up and why doesn't Firefox remember passwords and usernames any longer?

    Now up to Firefox 8 and the problem persists. Cannot go to the www.turnitin.com page and login as I used to do -- Firefox does not remember my username or password.
    Still works on Windows, and with other browsers... It would be great if a fix is available.

  • The server at Mac OS X Server Web Services requires a username and password

    I am running SL Server 10.6.2, wiki works but when a person clicks an attached file in a wiki and then selects "open" they get a login popup with the notification The server at Mac OS X Server Web Services requires a username and password. It doesn't matter what they put into the login/pass it comes back. If they hit cancel then the document opens. If they click save then it saves with no issue. I can type in the admin login/pass of the server and it works. Does this mean the security settings to the location of the files is wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    By the way they are using Internet Explorer 7 when opening these documents.

  • HT1600 I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing? I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.

    I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing?
    I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
    Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
    However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
    When I give the same password, it is rejected.
    Help!!!!

    Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting  - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
    Something along those lines anyway.
    I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

  • Users prompted for username and password after sharing removed from servers

    Hello Community
        On Sharepoint 2010 Server using the UI in a 2 server farm with an intranet running on it and everything functions as it should.  However it was noticed that from a users computer when in "Windows Explorer" if "Network"
    is clicked the 2 servers are visible.
        The problem is that when the server are clicked on in Windows Explorer the files and folders on the hard drive of the servers are visible too.
        Subsequently I logged onto the server and when into "Properties' - "Sharing" and
    unchecked the checkbox to "Share this folder".
        That solved the problem of the users being able to see and access the files
    and folders on servers hard drives but now when the users log onto the intranet
    they are prompted for a user name and password and even when they provide the user
    name and password and the page is returned the prompt appears on the screen again(then they cancel out).
        What can be done about the user being prompted for username and password without sharing the drives on the servers ?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    What exactly was shared out from the SharePoint server's file system? There are certain things that are shared by default.

  • Firefox memeorised my username and password with a shared laptop. How do i erase the memorised information?

    Firefox memeorised my username and password with a shared laptop. How do i erase the memorised information?

    Hello if you go to the tools at the top of the screen and click on it.
    Then you go to the options in that list and click on it.
    Then you select security its the padlock its the last but one in the list click on it.
    In that list you will have the options for the saved passwords click on this and then you can remove them.
    please note this is not a secure way to save your pass words.
    i would not use this.
    if you would like to save pass words try [http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/ and its free.
    hope this helps

    Hey.
    Since you seem to have tried mostly everything, apart from exchanging the motherboard, I'd say you have at least one option left, and that's to reinstall Windows from the recovery partition / recovery discs. That might solve the problem, if this is due to a software-error. General updates etc. might not work to fix such problems, but a clean install should.
    If that doesn't help, I'd say the problem is somewhere either with the CPU or the motherboard, maybe bad connections or some sort of malfunction that prevents the computer from coming out of the 100% CPU usage.

  • Firefox any version Mac, has a bug were it does not see or ask for the proxy username and password. This happens if you use a virtual tagged interface.

    Firefox any version Mac, has a bug were it does not see or ask for the proxy username and password. This happens if you use a virtual tagged interface. A recent network University policy change. The only way to fix this, is if you use a manual proxy configuration in Firefox. So all 100 + uni iMac's can only use Safari as I would need to do a profile push to all 300 students and I am unsure what file carries the proxy information.

  • I'm trying to access a forum that requires a user name and password.  When I do it on my mac it tells me the password is incorrect but when I do it on my iPad, I can access it without any problem.  I can confirm the username and password are the same

    I am trying to access a forum for which you need a username and password but it keeps telling me the username/password i've entered are incorrect.  Bizarrely, when I enter the same username/password combination on my iPad, it grants access without any problem. 
    What could be causing this, is it an issue with cookies, caches or similar.  How can I resolve it?  The forum administrator is at a loss as to what the problem is.

    Try the following steps in Safari to see if they help:
    1) First try clearing the Safari cache.  To do this pull down the Safari menu and select 'Empty cache...', then try logging into the site again.
    2) If the issue continues then reset Safari by pulling down the Safari menu and select'Reset Safari...'. You will be presented with a list of items that can be reset. I suggest selecting the 'Reset saved names and passwords', and 'Remove all website data' options at a minimum.
    Here is a list of the options and what they do. I pulled it from the Safari help page.
    Clear history:
    Clears the list of webpages you viewed.
    Reset Top Sites:
    Clears any changes you made to Top Sites, such as adding or pinning sites. If you also clear your history, your Top Sites page reverts to showing the webpage previews displayed when you first installed Safari.
    Remove all webpage preview images:
    Clears any thumbnail images Safari saved of webpages you viewed.
    Clear the Downloads window:
    Clears the list of files you downloaded from websites. Only the names are removed; the files themselves are still on your disk until you remove them.
    Remove all website icons:
    Removes website icons, which are small graphics that help identify sites on the Internet. You see them in the Safari address field and bookmarks list, and other places. These icons are stored on your computer.
    Remove saved names and passwords:
    Removes user names and passwords that Safari automatically fills in at websites that require them (if the AutoFill feature is turned on).
    Remove other AutoFill form text:
    Removes some personal information, such as telephone numbers, that Safari uses to automatically fill in forms on webpages (if the AutoFill feature is turned on). Removing AutoFill information does not remove information from your address book.
    Close all Safari windows:
    If you don’t close all Safari windows, someone could use the Back and Forward buttons to view the webpages you visited.
    Reset all location warnings:
    Clears any information websites saved about your location.
    Remove all website data:
    Removes cookies, tracking information, and other data that websites stored on your computer.

  • Sharing via email says the server did not recognize the username and password  combination

    I am trying to share photos in iPhoto via email (gmail) and it says the server does not recognize the username password combination. I have deleted the email account rebooted iMac and re-entered the gmail account info and I get the same message. I have confirmed the username and password are correct.

    LarryHN I guess I should have clarified that. I did try it that way and I am able to email pictures with mail set as the email client. When I change it to iPhoto as the email client is when I get this message. I have the same setup on my Macbook and it works great for emailing pictures from iPhoto. Although I can send them through email client, I prefer doing it through iPhoto.

  • Mac keeps saving the proxy username and password. How to disable this feature, so that safari will ask for it everytime that I connect?

    The title speaks for itself. It's the school computer and I don't want it to save every student's username and password.

    You can't disable it. I assume that you want to know which student is using the network at any given time. You would need a more advanced server-side solution for that, such as a captive portal.
