Not asking to save password or username

For some reason Firefox is not asking if I wish to save the user name and password anymore. Please help as to why.

Erased all saved passwords, rebooted, now TB does not ask for new password!

I erased all saved passwords as I've had to change the passwords on my accounts. I then rebooted and now TB does not ask for new password. I have rebooted entire computer and still no change.
Thanks!

I presume you removed the passwords via Tools > Options > Security > Passwords tab.
Do you have these settings in Account Settings:
Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account.
* select: 'Check for new messages at start up'
* select: 'check for new messages every eg: 15 minutes'
* select : 'Automatically download new messages'
make other prefered settings and click on OK to save changes.

Not asked to save/dont save on exit...but does it anyway

If I open or create a file in Photoshop CS5, make any change then close the file I am not asked to save or cancel.
The file saves anyway as a PSD. is there a way of forcing the save/dont save/cancel dialogue to appear always?

I have just tried that I and still don't get a dialogue box.
Now it also doesn't close the image unless I revert back to its original state. At least its not saving without asking now though.
Any other ideas?
FYI - This is only a problem with non network administrator accounts.

TS1702 when attempting to update apps update all I get "cannot connect to iTunes Store" but I have no problem connecting directly to iTunes store and I am not asked to enter password. any suggestions? Thanks....

Hi - while attempting to update apps from the "App Store" the message "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store" but am not asked for a password or user id BUT I have no problem connecting to the iTunes store directly.
Thoughts?
Thanks....

Why is my Thunderbird email account suddenly not asking for a password?

I have shut down my computer and when I go into my email account it for some reason does not asked for my password....Not sure what has happened. Would appreciate any help...

From the Menu Bar select '''Tools-Options-Security-Passwords-Saved Passwords'''
Delete the saved password entry and restart Thunderbird.
No menu bar with Tools? Press the alt key.

Fire Fox does not ask to save tabs when I exit. It started this when I loaded my last update - 4.0. How do I fix? Getting tired of starting over . . .

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Not asking for network password

My company guest network wifi updates n/w password every day. When I switch on my MAC book there will be a popup screen asking for network name and password( auto join network). But some times, it is not asking for the password once it expires. I restarted mac book, but still its could join network and i donn have any way to enter the new password.

add this to your start-up: gnome-keyring-daemon --components=gpg
Edit: and install gnome-keyring ofc

Firefox does not ask to save tabs and windows on exit

I've done everything suggested in this article:
[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+does+not+ask+to+save+tabs+and+windows+on+exit]
Settings in "Options" are ok.
I have no extensions/themes. And the problem is still there on safe mode.
Out of the two files mentioned as possibly corrupted, I deleted formhistory.sqlite but the file sessionstore.js is not in the profile directory when Firefox is closed (as the article suggests... it is there when Firefox is open)

What is the startup setting?
Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts"
In Firefox 3 you do not get the 'Save & Quit' pop-up dialog if you choose Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time". 
If that option is selected then your pages will already be reopened the next time. 
To get that pop-up dialog you have to select one of the other choices (Show my home page,Show a blank page). 
You can reset the warn prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu. 
browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Portege M400: Why am I not asked for a password at boot?

Hi,
I have a Portege M400 and I used the Toshiba Security Assist software to set up a BIOS boot password as well as an HDD protection password. This software, as well as the actual BIOS (Esc+F1 at boot) both show that the password I set is registered/recognized.
However, I am not actually asked for either of those passwords when I boot the computer!!!
I have a dual-boot system with the original WinXP for Tablet PC on one of the partitions, and an Ubuntu Feisty on another. My boot loader is GRUB but I don't understand why that should affect the behaviour of the BIOS that should happen before it calls the boot loader...
Can someone help me with this? It would be really important for me to protect my BIOS and the hard drive.
Thanks in advance,
dsokus

1. Check your security settings with the Toshiba password utilty. Are these configured correctly?
2. Did you set the user or the supervisor password? If you only set the supervisor password you are not asked for the password.
3. Try to set the HDD and User pw in the initial bios setup (press ESC when prowering on).

Xcode 4.2 not ask to save changes

Why xcode 4.2 will not ask: "to save changes or not", for example when I delete \ altering anything in the StoryBoard and elsewhere? Wen I close xcode, it's just save any changes I did, but I do not want to do this. That's bad, I can do any modifications in my project and then just hit close button and it's will be saved without any warning messages, but if i do not want to save?

KT is pointing you to the very first first preference, Xcode > Preferences > General > Auto-save.
No he isn't. Those links just go the introductory pages, which say nothing about this. As usual for him.
There is no preference for this in Xcode, which is probably WHY THIS GUY ASKED.
This situation is a lot worse than simply not asking to save a file. Lion is deleting work.
Last night I typed a non-trivial paragraph of code into a source file. And saved it. I hit Command-S after every line of code, no exaggeration. A few minutes later, I was scrolling up and down madly looking for it and couldn't find it. In case I accidentally put it in the wrong file, I searched the whole project for a string I knew I'd used. Nowhere to be found.
Suddenly Xcode presents a dialog complaining that it couldn't autosave the file because it had been modified externally. Did I want to "revert", or save what was in the editor?
I've been seeing these dialogs on both my machines intermittently for weeks. Same versions of everything on each system: OS, dev tools. Same project. Usually I opt to save what's in the editor, thinking that it must be the correct version. Well now I know otherwise. I hit "Revert", and the block of code magically reappeared on my screen.
No, there was nothing else running that could've deleted code. At least, not anything visible.
But it occurred to me that this might be Lion file-management crap gone seriously and dangerously wrong. And now that other people are reporting the same thing, it looks like that suspicion is being borne out.

Why does Apple ask to save passwords?

Thanks Doc, and apologies for tardy reply. I've checked the file permissions and all seems to be right. I've also re-made the bookfile with the same result.

HT204400 Apple TV will not ask for my wifi password to connect - it says it is connected but it is not- i click on my wifi and says connected but does not ask for my password

I just hooked up my Apple TV - it is all connected correctly- when my wifi comes up on my tv screen i click and select it. It then says it is "connected" , but it is not as is it has not asked for the password for my wifi. I have turned it all off and back on, I have restarted it as well. I do know why it will not ask for my password - am I missing something?

It will not ask after it is already connected. Is ATV working? Can you connect to the iTunes store, Netflix, etc?

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode. In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links and disabled and not available.
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
* Uncheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
See also [[Private Browsing|#Always_start_Firefox_in_a_private_browsing_session|Always start Firefox in a private browsing session]]

Firefox will not remember passwords even tho the box is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The little bar asking to save passwords doesn't even come up.

After an online session, Firefox (6.0.1) crashed and a crash report was sent. After that, Firefox would not start and the crash window kept coming up. I uninstalled it and did a new install. It works fine now except it will not remember passwords even tho the box to save is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The bar asking to save does not come up.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
