N86, PAYG - keeps asking for Access Point
Hi, I have a N86 with O2 on pay-as-you-go. For some reason, it's keeps asking me for a "Access point user name" and password. It asks this even when I not trying to use the phone.
The phone works for calls. and I can connect to the internet to browse the web. I can't connect to the internet to use data to use AGPS though.
Anyway, it sounds as if the phone is regularly trying to connect to an access point to obtain some data. Any ideas why would be appreciated...I really can't think that anything is set up that should cause this.
go to connectivity settings and set to automatic instead of always ask . Or as aspergerguy suggested turn geo tagging on and off as required , but if you check your settings in connectivity it should work without asking good luck
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

N8 camera keeps asking for access point setting
Most times when I start the camera I get the popup saying "Network connection required. Define access point to connect?". I realise that it'll need a connection because I've enabled geo tagging, but shouldn't I only have to set this once? I've looked in the menus & can't find anything in there to set it permanently. It;'s most annoying & I reckon I'll be missing photo opportunities because of it.

Reminders keeps asking for access to location. Where are prefs stored?
Several times a day, on my MacBook Pro, I get a message that Reminders wants access to my location. I always click Yes (or Allow), but it keeps asking me, over and over again. And for the record, the computer never leaves my bedroom.
I figured its preferences got corrupted, so I figured I'd trash them -- except I can't find them. There's no "com.apple.Reminders.plist" in either of the preferences folders.
Does anyone know in which document Reminders' prefs are stored? Or does anyone know of another fix for this problem?
Thanks.Is Reminders checked in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Location Services? If not, click the lock in the bottom left to unlock that pane, enable Location Services, check Reminders in the list, and then click the lock icon again...

What is "exited?" and why does it keep asking for access to Facebook?
Has anyone else had this appear?
I'm running the iOS 7 beta and every time I use the Facebook app or Safari I get about 4 alerts on screen with the phrase:
"exited?" is requesting access to your contacts and basic information on Facebook
I have no idea what it is so I keep disallowing it... anyone got any clues? Searching the web yields no resultsThis isn't the place for iOS 7 talk yet.

Mackeeper keeps asking for access to my confidential keychain information
I recently updated my mackeeper account that was due for renewal and since doing so have been receiving the prompt below, about 5 times a day!!!!! After some research I decided to delete keychain from my apps, can anyone advice me on how to stop the prompts?
I asked mackeeper and I got this shady response: below (The reason I say shady is because my mac was doing some weird stuff until I uninstalled some adware stuff and I was not happy to go near it again)
They said:
- Download this adware removal script: http://www.thesafemac.com/downloads/TSMART.zip (You may want to search for an alternate solution, but this one worked satisfactory a number of times)
- Quit all running web browsers:
1. Click on the Apple sign() at the upper left corner of the screen;
2. Select 'Force quit...' from a drop-down menu;
3. Look for: Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox (widely used browsers), click on their names one by one, and select Force quit.
- Open TSMART.zip and run the TSM Adware Removal tool script, follow on-screen recommendations;
- Restart your Mac: Click on the Apple sign() at the upper left corner of the screen and choose 'Restart...';
I'd also suggest you install either AdBlock or AdBlockPlus extension for your web browser (this will prevent many annoying commercials from popping-up): https://getadblock.com/ or https://adblockplus.org/
Please see more information about the ad-injection software on this Apple page: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987"MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
First, back up all data.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and immediately emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the other functional components of the software will be deleted. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
☞ Let MacKeeper delete its other components before you empty the Trash.
☞ Don't try to drag MacKeeper from the Dock to the Trash. You must open the Applications folder as above.
☞ Don't try to remove MacKeeper while running in safe mode. -
What is "appleidauthagent"? It keeps asking for access to a key chain
When I power up my iMac I get a dialogue box stating that appleidauthagent wants access to a key chain that I do not even have on the computer anymore. I usually hit "Cancel" or waith a minute or so and the dialogue goes away. I am not sure if this causes any problems, but at the very least it is very annoying.
Is there a way to keep this from happening?
Thanks!I tried your fix but still didnt stop the popup - however I had to remove the following files as well
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.DotMacSync*.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.idisk*.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.idisk*.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Preferences/MobileMeAccounts.plist
~/Library/Preferences/MobileMeAccounts.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Prefernces/ByHost/com.apple.coreservices.appleidauthenticationinfo*.plist
~/Library/Prefernces/ByHost/com.apple.coreservices.appleidauthenticationinfo*.plist.lockfile
and then rebooted computer
I believe it is to do with remnant files from mobileme.com, mac.com and iDisk

Hi Gavin229,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you have changed your AppleID information or password, you will need to sign out of your existing iCloud or iTunes Store accounts and sign back in with the new information.
The articles below will explain this in more detail ...

my hotmail account will not open. keeps asking for password but will not accept the password when i enter it. its the correct passwrd?
Hello Duncan,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Mail on your Mac. I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
If you entered the correct password in the password dialog in Mail, but continue to be asked for your password, try these solutions.
Open Keychain Access, then locate and delete the mail account password item.
Open Disk Utility, select the volume (for your hard disk or disks) in the list, click First Aid, then Verify Disk. After you’ve verified (and repaired, if necessary) the disk, try sending yourself a message.

E90 Maps keeps asking for Internet Connection
Hi,
Why does E90 Maps keep asking for internet?
"No Internet connection. Please check your Network settings"
And even if there is Internet connection via wifi and telco's data service, Maps doesn't seem to see it.
How do I stop it from asking?
Thanks!
And is there a way to tell maps to never show the zooom-in start up animation?Message Edited by kaon on 28-Jul-200703:45 PMHi kaon,
I checked the E90 manual online .. was curious ..
Found out that it can be done !
Page 54:
To prevent the device from automatically downloading maps through the internet, for example, when you are outside your
home cellular network, select Options > Settings > Network > Use network > Off.

For the N95, if you select to set the Network to 'when need', then the phone will give you a chance to select the access point. Try selecting the right one -- WLAN/ Telco.
Let me know how it goes !

SQLDeveloper keeps asking for java.exe
Using 64 bit SQLDeveloper 2.1 and the 64 bit version of Sun Java jdk - Version 1.6.0_18 the sqldeveloper.exe keeps asking for java.exe at startup. The JDK was installed first.
I pointed the dialog at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin\java.exe and sqldeveloper.exe starts up OK.
Next time I also have to also point it java.exe - and next time etc.
The only way I could fix this was to edit C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf
Old: SetJavaHome ../../jdk
New: SetJavaHome ../../../Java/jdk1.6.0_18
Using Wordpad and using Run as Administrator - Notepad doesn't handle the embedded line feeds correctly and the file can only be saved when 'Run as Administrator'.
I would have expected the SetJavaHome to be updated after pointing the way to the JDK.
The old value would be OK if the JDK was installed with (within) sqldeveloper except it isn't for the 64 bit version.
Kind regards
Simon
Edited by: Simon Miller on Feb 19, 2010 12:06 PMI just ran into this issue myself after upgrading to SQL Developer 3.2. I never had the issue with 3.1, so I was kind of surprised. Right clicking the desktop shortcut, choosing Run as administrator, and giving the correct location fixed the issue.
Certainly the dialog where you set your java version could be expanded with a bit of help.
Two things could be added:
- SQL Developer is currently certified with JDK 6 and we recommend using JDK 6 instead of JDK 7.
- On Windows you may have to run SQL Developer as an administrator to persist this setting. You will only have to run SQL Developer as an administrator once. This has to do with Windows access controls.
Trivial to address and now there are many less questions on the forums and happier users.

This is so frustrating! I have an itunes store account, etc. I lost all my info when I had to "restore" my iphone.
I wasn't able to do the "restore" until recently, gosh it was about 6mos or more ago when my iphone died...
So, as I get older I am having memory problems and haven't been able to access my itunes account.
Obviously when I did the "restore" on my iphone I lost all my info with it... So, wanting to use my iphone for
music, games, etc. I had to create a new apple id, fine, but when I wanted to download a "free" app it says
my apple id hasn't been used with itunes so it keeps asking for credit card info.
I do not remember ever having to have a credit card before!
I am so frustrated... First it was not being able to access my account then having to create a new one, fine!
But now I can't download "free" content without credit card information!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! UGH!!!!!!!
Please, can anyone help...?!?
Sincerely,
"Distressed"If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

Mail keeps asking for password, over and over and over again. How to fix?
How do I stop this behavior of Mail?
I tried disableing my account and resetting it up, but it won't let me do that either. I use Mac OS 10.6.8.OK. When you say that Mail doesn’t save the password, are you basing this solely on the fact that Mail keeps asking for it? Or is there something else that makes you believe Mail doesn’t save the password?
Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the keychain. If that doesn’t work, try removing the password entry from the keychain and let Mail create it again the next time it asks for it.
