Mavericks doesn't ask for password when copying files into applications folder (e.g. installing plugins for After Effects)

For example, when i was copied a plugin for after effects into the plugins folder, finder asked me for my password and now it doesn't. I can just copy it directly without any authentication.

Do you have Service Pack 1 for Windows 7? It's listed in the system requirements for CC 2014. If you don't have SP1, AE won't run.
That GPU sniffer error message is usually what happens. This should be a simple fix! Of course, you should always take the normal precautions when updating an OS, but still...

Permission Error when copy files into cmsdk using NFS with non admin user

Hi All,
We are using CMSDK with NFS protocol and we have created different users with ACL to control different access for users.
When we copy files into cmsdk folders using one of the admin user this works fine, even a multiple copy works fine. But when we use any non admin user , some time copy commands works but some time it throw a permission deny error. and this is happening very intermittently.
when we use ftp protocol and ftp file it's all works fine for the both admin & non admin user. Is there any limitation in using CMSDK NFS protocol
Did any one encouter any similar issue. Any pointers would be of great help.
Thanks in advance

How do you get copied files into a folder of our choice?

OK so this may sound like a very basic question, but it has been driving me nuts ever since I bought an Apple Mac some 3 years ago and I find it hard to believe there isnt a solution.
Objective: to copy or import files into a folder previously created by me within Apples 'Pictures' folder. E.g. "Holiday 2012".
Problem: on every program I have used, inc iPhoto, iMovie, and just now, Preview, when I get ready to copy or import say my photo files from my iphone, or an SD card or a network drive, it never gives me the option to navigate to my folder! How mad is this?! Instead I get teh choice of just Apples plain old Documents or Pictures folders but NEVER get given any opportunity via the dialog box to navigate to my "Holiday 2012" folder. There just is not any obvious way to do it. So instead I get my hundreds of pictures listed directly under Pictures folder, to therefore added to all the other hundreds of pictures listed there. A terrible way to kep pictures.
What I need: someone to tell me how to do this or if its not possible then to tell me that. It is a basic operation that I have been able to do on Windows PC's since they were built. Wht not on Mac? Maybe the solution is right in front of me... if it is then its not intuitive, thats all I can say!
Can you help please?

Hi. Ok.
I have just tried the process again in Preview and in desperation this time clicked on 'Other' in the dialogue box when trying to Import. Low and behold I found the way to navigate to my own folders instead of being forced to use Apples standard Folders called Documents and Pictures.
So problem solved.
Its daft that you cant click on the first folder names listed like you can in Windows so you can then reveal the subfolders. I guess its just another Apple-ism. Too bad it took me three years to find it but then I suppose I gave up early.

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.

Error when copying files into iTunes

Been trying to copy some video files into iTunes. I have my iTunes library on an external hard drive. Haven't had any problems with this until today when I try copying videos into iTunes it pops up with an error saying:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "OneTouch4" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I have had no problems with this before. I am running the latest version of iTunes. Any ideas?

Hi.
Tried both suggestions that have been made but the video files will still not copy into iTunes. Interestingly, when I copy podcast files into iTunes it works ok but when I tried the video files again they still get the same error.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Tried to Copy Files Into Home Folder

I tried to drag all the folders into my Home Folder to clean things up. I copied my Pictures Folder, my Documents Folder, my Music Folder, my Movies Folder into the Home folder.
Is there some place to read about what should be where and how to start to clean up my duplications and alias's
I would like to thank you in advance for your help with this matter.

I am sorry for the confusion...I don't know the correct terminology.
I am calling the finder window the 'dock' and what is the dock I call the docking station.
You are correct. I copied everything into the home folder trying to clean up the finder window
So my trouble is with the Finder
(this is what I see in the first column of the finder window after the list of hard drives on my system)
Desktop
Home Folder (whg2000)
Documents (info says it is folder but wierd icon/logo - not a folder with a picture in it)
Applications (with the A logo icon not the folder Icon) (inside this folder is all my apps but also an alias of the applications folder but when I highlight this alias I have a duplicate of all the contents of the applications folder)
Library Folder (with the library logo icon on the folder)
Pictures (just a folder no active logo or icon on folder)
Music (just a folder no active logo or icon on folder)
Sites (just a folder no active logo or icon on folder)
Public (just a folder no active logo or icon on folder)
Movies (just a folder no active logo or icon on folder)
(and then if I click on the home folder this is what I have inside my home folder)
Bill-Work-Folder (folder where I keep all my stuff)
Burn Folder (with burn logo / icon)
Desktop
Documents ( folder with the active logo icon....the contents of this folder match the contents of the documents folder on the dock)
home certify.txt (not a folder)
Library Folder (with the library icon/logo)
(and then this is what is in my Trash folder which is in the bottom of the dock, I had dragged stuff into the trash in attempt to clean it up)
Sites Folder
Public Folder (withthe logo/icon)
Pictures Folder (just fodler no icon/logo)
Movies Folder (with movies logo /icon)
Music Folder (with music logo / icon)
I hope this can still be fixed and cleaned up, thank you

What happened to skip or ignore when copying files?...

When I go to copy files into another folder, if some of those files are there, I now get "keep both", "stop" or "replace".
Didn't there used to be a "skip" or "ignore" before or is that just in my mind? LOL

But when you click "Stop" it just stops, it doesn't keep copying and ignore the duplicates. It's a bit silly. LOL

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.'''

Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

Asks for password every time I try to move a file into document folder.

Say need authorization to move file into document folder. I have some scans on seek top and I want ot place in a diabetes folder, states needs password.
I have 12 items I want to place in the folder, seems a bit too much of a security issue.
The file are transferred data, it states file can not be modified, authenticate or cancel, I hit authenticate and then asked for a password. Since it may be files from a different pc or format, there must be a shortcut to make this simpler.

Where's this folder located? Somewhere in your home folder? When you created this folder, were you logged in to the same user account as the one you are in now?

HT3376 My Bt Yahoo email account doesn't accept my password when my Mac gives it but if I access my BT yahoo via Safari it accepts the password

my BT yahoo email account doesn't accept my password when my Mac tries to access it using mac mail but when I access My BT Yahoo via Safari it accepts the password.

When it doesn't accept the password from Mail , it can be things other than the password actually.
It could be their Server, which is contacted differently than through WebMail, it just means the Server listening on this port, (or not listening), is not finding your username & password.

Stop prompting for password when uninstalling an application

Is there any way to turn off OS X from prompting for my password when deleting/uninstalling an application?

This is a security feature I would not want to disable. In addition to helping prevent accidentally deleting an app, it also protects against potential installation of nefarious malware.
True, it is a little bit of inconvenience, but, really, how often is it necessary to uninstall something?

Error when copying files to NAS

Since upgrading to Mavericks, I frequently get errors in the Finder when copying files to my NAS.
This never happened under Mountain Lion. The error says "The operation can’t be completed because the item “filename” is in use."
Most of the time, it does copy over after several attempts. I'd like to know if there is a fix for this, or an update in the works.
I'm currently on 10.9.
Thanks!

...Just FYI my problem occured even though I had updated to 10.9.2.
Through trial and error I eventually got my files copied. I detailed what I ended up doing in my post which I referred to above: ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5944278 )
