No password dialog box when screensaver kicks on

I have a macbook pro (retima) laptop. I'm running OSX 10.7.4 - it's fully up to date.
Here's my about info:
MacBook Pro
Retina, Mid 2012
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E2620)
So here's my issue I have the screensaver set to start automatically, and for it to require a password to stop it.
If I have the bluetooth magic mouse connected and I leave my desk for a bit, then (often, but not all the time) when
I return the password dialog does NOT appear, so basically I have a laptop that is running, the screensaver is on and I cannot unlock it..
so my only choice is to do a hard power down.
This happens quite often.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance

when the magic mouse is not connected it seems to work fine, I usually click the trackpad and the system prompts me for a password - I enter my password and go back to work.
However every time the problem has occurred I have left the computer with the magic mouse connected, when I return I move the magic mouse, the screensaver stops "moving" but I don't see the prompt for my password, it's almost as if the password dialog is behind the screen saver.
Hope this helps...

In character dialog box; when I click on the "T" tool the leading shows 14.4pt. Is there a way to make the leading 100% scaled?

"Auto leading" is governed by the "Auto leading" percentage in the Justification dialog. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30d2a5051004d659b1c-7fe7a.ht ml for a full discussion (the official Help page...).
It *appears* you want the leading set to 100% of your font size. That is *technically* not a problem, but there are not many fonts that look nice with this. Hence the "120%" default -- neither very good, nor extremely bad. I usually go with about 2 pt above the text point size; but it depends on the font and the font size.

Incomplete print dIalog box when printing PDFs

During the past several weeks, whenever I try to print a PDF, the print dialog box (when Copies & Pages is selected in the pull-down menu) is blank ... I can't select how many copies or which pages to print. This only started happening recently, before that everything was fine. It doesn't matter how the PDF was created ... by OS X, by InDesign, by Photoshop, or arriving in email, the result is the same ... incomplete dialog box. My workaround so far when I want more copies or only certain pages, is to "place" the desired pages in InDesign and do the printing from there ... big pain and not an acceptable long-term alternative.
Anyone know of anything that might have happened with recent software updates?

Karen....I found this thread while looking for some help with the same problem. Did you ever find a solution? I have Acrobat 7 and 8 running on a Mini with 10.4.11 and am having the same problem in Acrobat 7 only, Acrobat 8 behaves fine. When going to the Print dialog, the area below the "Copies & Pages" button is blank. I can change the "Copies & Pages" button to other settings but the dialog box does not hold the change, it reverts back to "Copies & Pages". I have replaced Acrobat 7 without any luck.

R&R 4.10 no Password dialog box displayed when recovering a Backup

Hello all,
I am using a T61 8898-6dg with XP and r&r 4.10.314
After reinstalling the system from a XP CD I tried to reinstall an R&R backup from a network share.
R&r starts well showed me the backup files and all the files included in the backup. So I was able to select the files I want to recover and the recovery process starts.
Because the backup is secured by a password, a dialog box should appear and asking for the password. But now, r&r stops and nothing happens. I think it is waiting for the password. But I cannot see an dialog box for entering a password. Even pressing the Alt and Tab keys to bring the dialog box to the foreground don’t help.
In the rr.log file, I found the following entry:
Sat May 10 12:27:36 2008 RescueRecovery: Running: C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\mnd\mapdrv.exe *
Sat May 10 12:27:42 2008 RescueRecovery: No user found to display dialog '2', waiting...
The same problem I have with r&r 4.20
Any hint what I can do to be able to enter the password?
many thanks in advance

How can I keep Firefox from keeping my login name and password from being in the dialog boxes when I sign on on gmail? It allows anyone to log into my email account

When signing on to my gmail account the two dialog boxes, one for account name and the other for the password are already filled in. The password box has dots for the password but anyone who clicks on the sign in box can read my mail. How do I change this? It appears to be a Firefox related issue because it doesn't happen if I sign in on Safari or Internet Explorer. I would appreciate your help.

See [[Remembering passwords]], you can turn this feature off.
You also can [[Remembering passwords#Viewing and deleting passwords|view or delete the saved passwords]].
Please let us know whether that works for you.

Pop-up dialog box when using SPROXY t.code in ECC 6.0

Hi
I have a ECC 5.0 that I am trying to connect to my XI 7.0 box for development.
When I use transaction code SPROXY in my ECC 6.0 box - I get a dialog box titled 'Enter your username and id' - with a subtitle - Resource Rep and asking me for userid and password
My SLDCHECK works fine with accesses to SLD and exchange file of my XI box from ECC 6.0. I don't have any RFC destination like ESR*PROXY . My RFC destination LCRSAPRFC tests ok.
Why am I still get this popup ? When I try executing SPROX_CHECK_IFR_ADDRESS - I get the same popup dialog box .
Correct answers will be instantly rewarded. I am really looking forward to help for this critical problem.

Go to SXMB_ADM-->IntegrationServer Configuration in ECC . There find the value for Related Integration Server. It will be some thing like dest://<RFCdestination name>. Note this destination name and test this destination in SM59.

Password Dialog Box: Can we default to "not now" instead?

When the password/keychain dialog box drops down when you enter username/passwords on websites, the highlighted/default option is to add it to keychain.
Is there any way that this can be defaulted to "NOT NOW" .... like in Firefox.
This seems like the best option instead of defaulting to add it to the keychain. I have sometimes accidentally hit enter and had it add to the keychain (then I have to find it and delete it out again).

Hi
Can someone help on this one please. The version is 11.5.9.
Thanks

Password dialog box loses focus

I know this happens on my iMac Lion 10.7.4. I think I saw this recently on my MBA with MtLn. I do something that requires admin priviledges such as start a program install and a login dialog box pops up as it always has so I can log in as an administrator for the higher privilege. If I don't immediately start typing the password (wait even a few seconds) and the focus is lost by the dialog box. If I do a keystroke, I get a sound you hear if the keystroke has no place to go -- the focus has not been set to any window receptive to keystrokes.
However, if I beat that time out, or more usually, click the mouse on the text entry field and immediately type the first character of the password, it isregistered with the dot echo and the focus remains on that field while I enter the rest of the password. The only pointing devices attached to my system are the Apple Magic mouse and Apple Magic trackpad. Both are attached by Bluetooth.
Any ideas?

This was happening to my parents' computer too. Each time the admin password was required, the dialogue box would lose focus in less than a second. You had to time your keystrokes very quickly.
I reviewed in Console what was running and found that their dictation software (Dragon Naturaly Speaking Express) was the culprit. When I turned it off, the problem never returned. So perhaps it's along the same lines for you: that some service such as dictation software is causing this issue
Run your console log and place yourself in the very situation where it would normally occur and see what comes up in the logs. For me it was com.dragon.express.
Oh, and to let you know, they, too, have a mighty mouse connected by USB and a magic mouse (by Bluetooth) and these were not the problem.
Good luck! and Happy Holidays

How can I disable "download error" dialog box when saving a complete web page?

Sometimes, when I try to save a web page as type: "Web Page, complete", firefox displays download error dialog box stating a file "could not be saved, because the source file could not be read."
I don't have a problem with firefox couldn't save that file, but I have a problem with firefox displaying that dialog box, because I have to click OK everytime.
Is there a way to disable that annoying dialog box?

I modified the host file mainly to block ads. But that's not the problem. It's OK for me for firefox to not saving some parts of a page (ads usually within a frame). It's my intention to NOT saving those files. I just want to save the main content of a webpage.
But I'm having a problem with firefox displaying the dialog boxes.

How can i get rid of the print dialog box when using api to print an html file

i am using the systemshell.vi provided by labview the VI is working fine but it will open a dialog box for printer selection and properties. i would like to hide that dialog box and have it print to the default printer with the default properties

ShellExec is part of lvwutil and merely calls a function in Shell32.dll. There is nothing about the function call that controls the display of the printer dialog. I think that what shell32.dll does when it prints (just like right clicking on the file) is print the file according to what is defined about that file type in Windows Folder Options. On my Win2K system, the print application is defined as "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\msohtmed.exe" /p %1. If I remove the /p, then Word starts up and in order to print, I get a printer dialog when choosing Print from the File menu. So it seems like the printer dialog is entirely dependant on the application that does the printing. I get no dialog when I use the VI to print a .txt file. I
nstead of using shell32, you might want to try some ActiveX method or property of an application like Internet Explorer that can open and print an html file.

HT204379 How do I change the small photo that appears in the password prompt box when logging in to my iMac?

Hi,
I hope someone can help me over a triffling but irritating matter. My son has somehow put a pic of himself - I think taken from the photobooth - in the password login box and I want to remove it but I can't find how to do it in system preferences. This happened to me when I first got my mac 2 yers ago, but I can't for the life of me remember how I removed/changed the samll personal pic. Wouldbe most grateful if anyone could advise me! Many thanks.
