Password after sleep but not when starting?

I have set the option to require a password immediately after sleep or screen saver begins, and that works fine. Waking from sleep requires a password. However, if I shut down the computer and then start up again, I'm not required to enter a password. Can't seem to locate the settings to require a password in that situation.Any suggestions?

That's under users in system preferences. Unlock if necessary and look under Login Options -> Automatic Login.

Ask for password after sleep but not after screen saver

Hi guys!! I have been using a mid 2009 Macbook pro since mid 2009 and obviously am thoroughly satisfied!! I have OS 10.7.4 Lion.
A small glitch that has been nagging me lately is that I have my screensaver set to on before my book goes to sleep. But I don't want it to ask for a password after it comes back from the screensaver. I want it to ask for password only when it comes back from sleep coz I don't shut the system down more than once a month, so only flip the screen shut when my day ends.
So essentially is there a way I can make it as for a password ONLY after it wakes from sleep and NOT after screensaver?

I'm not entirely in love w/ the idea of having to move all my data over to the other account. I might just deal w/ not having the screen saver ask for the pass. One other bit of info that may be helpful: This is the second time having this problem. The first time, it got fixed after the most recent intel osx update. I figured that apple had found a bug and fixed it. Then, w/o shuting down my comp, it failed to ask again. Is there any applications that could be messing this up? Any widgets that might do it?? If not, is there any apps that can switch all my pics/movies, etc over to the other account?

Password after sleep mode, not after screensaver

Hey there,
I'd like to have my MB ask me for a password after I wake it, but not after I stop screensaver. Unfortunately, there is one checkbox for these two functions. Is it possible to satisfy my wish somehow? =]
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your help! However, it hasn't really solved my issue, as that tip on the given link is for more or less advanced mac users, and I'm kind of newbie, so writing those scripts seems to be complicated to me =/

Solaris x86 on a mac, blank screen after miniroot but NOT when console=ttya

I am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 update7 on a Mac Mini.
It hangs with a blank screen right after loading the miniroot, before the "Configuring devices..." part.
I can't even see the miniroot loading completion (the hex addresses displayed when miniroot is loaded)... it
clears the screen and just hangs there.
But...
By trials and errors I discovered that if I use the ttya or ttyb console setting when booting, it does NOT hang!
It proceeds further, and prompts for type of installation and then for language. Unfortunately, since Mac Mini does not
have any serial port, I can't proceed with the installation since if I use console=ttya I can't use the keyboard anymore.
I ran the sun tool to check for hardware compliancy and it passed.
I think there must be something odd with the graphic card probe, what else could change when I boot with "console=ttya"
beside that? Is there a way to bypass the check for the graphic card when booting? I don't want to use it, either... I would
use the mac mini as a server, I wish I could remove the graphic card but it's embedded in the motherboard :-)
I do not have boot camp installed on this Mac. Could that make any difference?
I also tried to fire up opensolaris and that one works without problems, but I want Solaris 10 not opensolaris...
Any hint is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance...
Rick

Hi Rick,
Like you, I have been trying to install Solaris10u7 on my 13" white Macbook. I got the same errors. Solaris10u6 used to work on this same machine, except for the lack of audio driver support.
I tried to connect a USB keyboard, but the same problem persist. Adding "console=text" or "console=keyboard" to the GRUB startup parameters did not help. But it does look like a console detection problem. Hopefully, there is a workaround. I'll check this forum post again to see if anyone comes up with a workable solution. I also prefer to have Solaris proper, not Opensolaris.
_After-thought_: Perhaps I'll just follow the developments on SXCE until 'Solaris 11' is released next year (hopefully sooner than expected). Older versions of SXCE did work well on the Macbook, though not the recent ones.

Must re-enter password after sleeping; but then works okay; what can I do?r

I see a lot of stuff on the boards about the signal dropping. Ours doesn't do that but we find that we regualarly must re-enter the password, or sometimes just re-connect manually even though the password is there.
I've deleted some of the "preferences" files to start over. I've also deleted the keychain files to make sure there are no duplicates. Maybe I'm overlooking something. I've also changed channels on our time machine to give that a shot. No fix with any of these options.
This is a brand new macbook so I would hope everything is working as intended. I'm running out of options...and my wife is frustrated! Ha.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

Try opening Network preferences, click Airport in the pane on the left. Click the Advanced button. Highlight your network name if it isn't already by clicking it. Click the "pencil" button. Enter your password there and click Add.
See if that corrects your problem. Not having a search function right now on the forums is a little frustrating because you can almost always find answers that way. I've never had your specific problem before so I'm kinda flying by the seat of my pants here. If this doesn't help you might try posting the same question in the Airport or Time Capsule forums.

Yosemite server Profile manager how setup time for password after sleep

Hi,
In Profile Manager in Setup & Privacy is possibility setup password after sleep, but I need setup time period. Is it possible? Because when I push this profile it prevent users to setup this period and when i remove this profile (whole payload for Security & Privacy) it still prevent users to change this two setting.

Hi CodyCodes,
Just discovered the same issue today as well. Further complicating things, the screensaver timeout setting in Login Window doesn't apply to Profile Manager clients no matter what the setting. This was reproduced and confirmed by the Apple Tech I was working with. He's submitted the bug to their engineering staff. I requested that he ask them why there is no setting for password on sleep or screensaver. Hopefully this is resolved soon, as this feature is 99% of the reason we're implementing Profile Manager to begin with.
Cheers

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?

try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)

Printer just started feeding a blank page after some, but not all printed documents

Printer just started feeding a blank page after some, but not all printed documents

Hi @cam21 ,
I understand that you are having issues printing, after some documents you are getting blank pages. I would be happy to help you.
I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
What application are you printing from?
It may be a setting in the application.
Does this happen from all applications?
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. http://www.hp.com/go/tools>Using HP Diagnostic Tools for HP Printers in Windows.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

My ipod has had a previous owner How do I change my ipods email address so that when I try to down load anything it asks for the previous owners password but when I go to my account it says its my email my account but not when I try to download????

My ipod has had a previous owner How do I change my ipods email address so that when I try to down load anything it asks for the previous owners password but when I go to my account it says its my email my account but not when I try to download can anyone please help me ????Plus it still has some of the previous owners pictures and videos on it that I want to delete and can't????? Also is there a way to kill the apps that u have used throughout the day the battery doesn't last long at all ??????

- How did you dlete stuff from the iPod? If you have a 1G or 2G iPod and deleted the stuff by going to Settings>Genera.>Reset>Erase aall contents and settings without being connected to a power source, the battery dies before he erase was comleted since it can take hour.
- In any event try the following:
- Connect to a chaging sour for three hours.
- Reset the iPod and then connect to the computer and try to restore va iTunes.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try placing the iPod in recovery moe and then try to restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last try DFU made and restore.

Captivate 3 shows skin in preview but not when I run after published?

Captivate 3 shows skin in preview but not when I run after published. It shows it is included, what's up?

Is the Skin externalised? If so, perhaps Flash Global Security is interfering:

You could also try NOT externalising the skin.

HP D110 AIO printer. Prints jam when printing with wireless, but not when hooked to USB cable! HELP!

I have a HP D110. It jams the paper when I print with wireless, but not when I use USB cable. Any ideas?

From what you describe you are having issues printing from MS Office. Have you had trouble printing from other resources on your computer (e.g. from the internet or another program)? The first thing I am going to suggest is that we start by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer from the resources available online.
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.

Ipod nano plays with headphones but not when plugged in to player

I have a nano 16gb 4th or 5th generation. It has worked fine up until about a week ago. It works if I plug in the headphones, but not when it is plugged into the car stereo or an iHome. Any thoughts?

If:
-you and your husband have the same generation iPod nano
-they both have the same latest software
-you tried the car stereo with the same iPod charging cord.
(with 32 pins connector I just wanted to make sure it is not the headphone plug)
this means that the problem is indeed with your iPod nano.
Since you also said that before last week everything worked fine, something must've gone wrong after that.
This could be software-related or hardware-related. Did you try to connect it to your computer? Does the computer recognise it? Can you still charge it?
If the computer does recognise the iPod it might be a good idea to 'repair' your iPod via iTunes.
Or try the Five R's: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano5gen/# (more or less the same for 4th and 5th gen)
If your computer does not recognise it, it probably needs to be repaired. But since it is 4th or 5th generation I guess the warranty is void already, and you'll have to decide how much this is worth to you or if you wouldn't want to buy a new one.

My iPad is not being recognized by the computer, therefore, cannot sync. It charges when plugged to the wall, but not when pugged to iMac.

Most common culprits include the cable. Try swapping it out for a different one.. or not having the most recent version of itunes. I once even solved this problem by shutting down the computer for 2 minutes. (the longer the better), with the ipad plugged in. starting it up... then itunes recognizes it, launches, and syncs.
Apple has a troubleshooting assistant on this topic:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
It will advise you to reboot. I recommend shutting down instead.

P.S The ipad should charge when asleep and plugged into your Mac. The charging behavior is normal. There isn't enough power out the USB ports to charge the ipad while it is on on some older Macs and nearly all PCs.

My iPhone 3G charges with a charger, but not when connected via USB to my computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it.

Hello, my iPhone charges when I charge it with the wall plug but not when connected to a computer via USB and my iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone either. iTunes recognizes my iPod and iPad just fine. I have been to Apple iPhone support page and I have restarted my iPhone, the computer, tried different USB ports, etc. I have also tried my iPhone on different macs even with different versions of iTunes and no luck. This all started when I was cleaning out some lint from the usb connector, could I have damaged some part of the docking connection? But why does it charge with a wall plug then?

I fixed the problem. When I was trying to clean the connector of the iPhone I must have bent some pins. I have straightened them to the best of my ability and now it syncs. If your iPhone charges, but doesn't sync, most likely you have a similar problem, because the iPhone doesn't need all of its pins to charge, but it does need all of them to sync.
