  • Mail  on the Mac  -   does not ask for password

    I realize this isn't exactly a Safari topic, but I don't see a category devoted to Mail problems.
    I've just recently got a new cable provider and Mail is set up through them and it can send and receive mail ok.
    My problem is that I would like to set a password so that only I can see my email. I have a user name and password but Mail never asks for my password when I click to open the Mail application.
    What am I doing wrong ? Thanks for your help and if this question should have been placed under another category please let me know.

    Aloha!
    Try this... From the Menu Bar in Mac Mail, click Mail/Preferences. Select the Accounts tab. Click the Account Information tab.
    You will See: Incoming Mail Server/UserName/ and Password. If your password is stored there, just delete it. Close the Preferences window and click Save when asked to save changes.
    Quit the Mail application, then re-launch it. Click the Get Mail tab top left side of the window. You should be prompted for your password ... type it in but if you are prompted to Save it in your Keychain, click No.
    Will that do the job?

  • Application Server Control does not ask for password

    Hi all-
    I just installed App Server (as part of Collaboration Suite) and am working on security. For some reason, the App Server Control for the apps tier does not ask for a username/password. Anyone know how to fix that glaring hole? Infrastructure does ask for user/pass, just not apps.
    Thanks!
    Rob

    I had to clear authenticated sessions AND cookies (in Firefox). Clearing only one or the other isn't enough.

  • My iphone does not ask for password for itunes

    Ever since I installed ios 6 to my 2 iphone 4's. It does not ask for a password to download games or make purchases. I have a 5 year old son who can now purchase at will, how do I reset or fix that? Where is my security?

    Thanks for letting me know. I never even checked to see if it was configurable.
    Edit: I don't see where you can turn enable or disable the requirement for a passcode for udates? Can you tell me where to find it? The path you referred to only seems to relate to purchases.

  • I changed my password on Airport Express and now can't connect in iTunes. It does not ask for password ,I just see trying to connect and it fails. How do I enter new password in iTunes when it just keeps trying to connect ?

    When I select the Airport Express as Remote Speaker in Itunes I just see trying to connect and it can't connect.
    I changed my password on the Airport and I don't see where I can put in the new password in Itunes.
    This problem is on my Imac. On my Mac Pro a window came up asking for password to connect because it was the first time.
    I can connect on the Mac Pro but not my Imac.

    Update on my problem connecting in Itunes with my Airport Express. Not sure if anything I tried made a difference
    but I finally got the Pop up window saying this device requires a Password. I entered the password and I can once again use the Airport Express as a remote speaker.

  • 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
    Please help

  • 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.

  • Resume from standby does NOT ask for password--how to fix?

    On my X240, when I resume from standby, I am NOT being asked for my password. But I want to.
    In Power Manager, in Events, I keep setting Require password on standby resume to yes, but the computer comes out of standby when I touch the keyboard, without asking for my password.
    NB I work with the laptop closed, and docked in a Targus dock. Under AC settings, for the lid closed event, I have set it to Do Nothing

    Hi,
    Pardon a silly question, but is it actually resuming from standby or just re-activating the display?  By that I mean that the screen is blank but the laptop isn't yet in standby mode.
    How do you have the screen blank and standby timers set and how do they compare to the times that you observe the problem?

  • Updates not installing and iPhone not asking for password

    Hi - over the past day or so on my iPhone 4 on the apple store app I have 12 updates.  When I click 'download all apps' the iphone doesn't ask for my password as it usually did, but just goes away as if it is installing the updates.....but doesn't - I still have 12 updates to download !!!
    I then logged on to my laptop and itunes, but cannot find where on the APP tab there is any mention of updates.  Please tell me what I should do ?
    I have rebooted the phone a couple of times, but no difference.

    further to my last - on looking at the apps in question - it has 'installing' sort of greyed out in the background.....but they have been 'installing' for the past 24 hours or more !  when usually it only takes a few mins, and there is no active working ring on the top bar to signify that things are being downloaded.  All other things appear to be working i.e. if I download an actual app etc.

  • Login screen does not ask for password when logging into user account

    This is an issue that did not immediately manifest itself after I have upgraded to Snow Leopard. I am not sure what exactly triggered it.
    Anyway, now at the login screen if I choose to login with my own user account, i.e. clicking on the icon associated to my user account, I am not prompted for the password and the system seems to start trying to login, as there is a discernible pause. Obviously that will fail, and I am returned to the login screen again.
    If I choose the other user option, as before I will be allowed to manually type in an user id and password, and using this way I am able to login into my own account (previously I only use this for logging in to the root account).
    Any idea on how I can make the field for typing in the password appear again? Thanks.

    Just to report that deleting /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist did not help.
    Anyway I installed Snow Leopard again and the problem went away. Hope I will not do something that will trigger it again.

  • I upgraded my iPAD 1 and now it will not connect to my wi-fi.  It does not ask for password.  It does recognize wi-fi name.  I have rebooted, unplugged router, 'forget network', and reset network.  Still will not connect.

    I have no idea what to try next.  Please help!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • When I turn it on it is slow to startup and does not ask for my password.

    Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    Macbook late 2008
    So I turn it on and it takes a couple minutes to start up, it takes a while before gettign past the grey screen to the apple loading screen and then just goes straight to the desktop.
    I just erased the drive 2 months ago and put on the OS, I have used it maybe 3 times since then.

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
    After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.

  • Not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari

    not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari

    okay well they got me to take out some .plist files to see if that would help it didn't. I'm not sure what ones that they deleted for my self maybe someone here would be abel to tell you what ones to take out but didn't work the one that came close to working was this going into keychain and deleting the account(s) then reading them again.
    if you are to do this please back up first with Time Machine. You can do this with a usb drive.
    Okay so go back to where you had internet accounts and make sure mail is shut. click the - on the account your having problems with then quit system preferences.
    Okay so then press cmd and space bar at the same time then type 'keychain access' into the search then click on 'keychain access'
    once it is open go to the top of the window and put your email address that you are having problems with.
    once you have put in your full email, have a look at what comes up i deleted things in the kind colome with 'internet password' and anything with under name that had smtp.gmail.com or imap.gmail.com so it would look like this, map.gmail.com - internet password.
    right click and delete them. make sure not to touch any other files that dont say them things on them.
    Once you have done this quit keychain access and then restart the computer, once the computer is restarted go back to system preferences and internet accounts and re-add the account.
    Hope this helps. if something is not clear just ask.

  • SOST Repeat Send does not ask for new fax number or e-mail address.

    SOST Repeat Send does not ask for new fax number or e-mail address.  It does work for one user but not for any others.  It is supposed to ask you if you want to change the fax number or e-mail address if you were the user that sent the document.  Does anyone know if there are settings that control this somewhere?  Using SAP R/3 vers. 4.7

    Dear Friends,
    Normally, we can change the receipient address, if we send. We can not change the receipient address of another user.
    Check  Note 685164 - Resending with recipient change.
    As per this note Go to SM30 and add parameter "SOST_REC_CHANGE" value "X" in view "SXPARAMS".
    Now, if you click "repeat send" icon, it will ask below two option in dialog box:
    The message is sent again. You can change the recipient before
    sending. The sent message then appears as a
    as a new send request in the list
    Send to same recipients again
    Change recipients before sending
    It is working to me ....
