Password and trashcan problem

since I've updated to 10.9.2, my computer asks me for my password each time I delete a file - how do I stop this?
many thanks.

  • HT204053 i want to change my icloud id on my iPhone, but it won't let me now that i have upgraded.  I no longer have the password and the problem is It is using an old id which the email isn't valid and the security question does not think my birthday is

    I want to change my icloud id on my iPhone, but it won't let me now that i have upgraded.  I no longer have the password and the problem is It is using an old id which the email isn't valid and the security question does not think my birthday is valid.  I cannnot delete the account because "find my iphone" wants the password linked to this old account.  But when i go into the find my iphone app it is using my corect Apple ID.  How do i fix this?

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • Password and Display problem

    I am having 2 major problems with my macbookpro -
    1. it no longer recognizes my password when it is prompted for - example when i try to install a new software or driver. My lgin password has not changed and does work, but this password, which is the same, does not.
    2. Too often when i turn on my computer the screen in fully dark. after a while i realized this can be overcome by adjusting the brightness using the shortcut keys F4. Otherwise there is no way of seeing anything on the display (actually...except for by holding a bright light in a specific angle next to the screen...)
    any help would be greatly appreciated

    You can check if there are entries in the password manager with an empty user name.<br />
    Remove saved Password(s):
    * Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
    You can also check the exceptions.
    * Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Exceptions
    You can remove all stored data from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar) or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove everything like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions from that domain, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.<br />
    You can't recover from that "forget" unless you have a backup of the affected files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

  • Passwords and images problem

    Firefox image problem. In Firefox 3.6.12, every time I save an image that's already displayed on my screen, I see "one active download" appear in the bottom right of Firefox's window and the same image is also listed in downloads. The problem is that Firefox doing that uses more bandwidth. How do I set Firefox so that when I save an image, instead of that image getting re-downloaded from where it's stored on the internet, it's copied from wherever Firefox has it stored to display it so Firefox doesn't use as much bandwidth? Tools/options/advanced/network/offline storage is set to 50mb.
    Firefox password problem. Tools/options/security/passwords has "remember passwords for sites" checked and there is nothing in my exceptions list. But Firefox keeps forgetting passwords, usually after restarting Firefox and or my whole system and on some sites, I don't even get asked "do you want to remember..." How do I fix this?
    I do have CCleaner and it's set to run at startup, but all the boxes for Firefox are unchecked, so it's not the cause of either problem.

    @cor-el
    OK, I'll give that extension a try and see what happens, thanx! :-)
    @venemovil
    I right click and either select "save image as" or if I want to save an image to more than one location, I select "view image" and then use ctrl+s. Both results in Firefox re-downloading the image as I described above. It happens on every site I visit.
    The password problem never happened before, but I will try disabling my extensions one at a time and see if it happens only whan a particular extension is turned on.
    This is a screenshot of the extensions I do have installed.
    http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj216/Moonbarker/Clipboard01.jpg
    I've also noticed that Firefox is forgetting what sites I've visited recently (I type in part of the url of sites I've visited sometimes as recently as a few hours ago and the entire url isn't in the suggested list) and I keep having to put the Fire FTP Button back in the toolbar (next to the home/stop/reload/back-forward buttons). That may be related to the pasword problem. I don't know.

  • ICloud password and login problems

    I have to verify my iCloud password every day through forgot.com using the memorable questions. I updated my phone to the latest IOS and I am using Mavericks on the Mac - other than that nothing has changed. This problem has only occurred in the past two weeks, I can't believe the account is being hacked EVERY day... Anyone having the same problem?

    Hi LucHow,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    To help remedy this certainly frustrating experience where you are needing to verify your iCloud password constantly, I'd like you to please contact Apple account security in your country for support.

  • Password and audio problems after a fresh installation

    I installed arch i686 on a friend's toshiba laptop. Now I list the problems I encountered:
    1) - First of all, at the beginning of the installation process, i set a simple root password, a classic "123". Now when my friend wants to set his personal root password through the command "passwd", it requries at least 8 characters. Now my friend set an 8 characters password but he wants to set a password with only 4 charcaters.... How can he do?
    2) - Evolution asks the old root password (the "123"), even if my friend changed it with a new 8 characters password.
    3) - The audio seems to work fine but when he opens skype all is muted (even with alsamixer controls at hightest volume). Also if he closes skype the audio remains stll silent. So he needs to reboot to restore the normal situation.
    If someone can interest here there is the result of lsmod|grep '^snd' command:
    snd_seq_oss 29696 0
    snd_seq_midi_event 6004 1 snd_seq_oss

    snd_page_alloc 8124 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_pcm

    1) just type it twice, "12341234". however, you should really set a proper root password instead and do daily work as a regular user with sudo access
    2) maybe evolution isn't asking for root but for the gnome-keyring password, which you might have set to 123 earlier too?
    3) sorry i don't use or skype or alsa

  • ICloud password and backup problem

    iPad Air
    8.2 iOS
    Repeatedly asking for iCloud password. No pattern, just constantly.
    I can verify the password by logging into iCloud itself, so I know the password is valid.
    Also unable to run a backup.
    If I sign out of iCloud (like it has been suggested elsewhere in this support group), delete at all prompts and sign back in -- that only means it deletes what is on the iPad itself, and iCloud will repopulate with all the deleted info (like photos) once I sign back in -- correct? Hitting delete is sort of scary, right?

    Okay. signed out of iCloud. fixed the constant request for password, but now back up doesn't work because I suddenly need more room. It was fine 2 days ago before this all started and I haven't added anything to make it too large. What the heck?

  • MySQL password and root problems.......please help

    I've been trying to install and configure my computer to run MySQL. I've installed it and when I tried to change the password in the Terminal window by using: sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root mysql
    I got an error message saying: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
    I don't know what's happened and how I can change it.
    Thanks

    Since it is likely this error is generated by MySQL rather than OS X, you'd be better off posting your question in the UNIX forum, where a few MySQL users hang out.

  • Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click  on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?

    Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click  on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?

    Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
    In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
    After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
    If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
    Reboot and try again.
    If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
    Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
    Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
    Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

  • I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login.

    I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login. I tried the method where you go into single user mode and type in commands, however that method uses some of the letters that are not working on my laptop.

    You didn't mention which version of OS X your running but there are password reset utilities provided OS X: Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier) - Apple Support  or  OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - Apple Support
    Alternately you can use an external keyboard to log in and change the password. Make a backup if you don't have one, it's likely that your problems aren't over. If that water continues to migrate downward and fries the logic board your macbook will be toast.

  • PROBLEMS SETTING UP EMAILS AS DEVICE REFUSES TO RECOGNISE PASSWORD AND/OR USER NAME

    PROBLEMS SETTING UP EMAILS AS DEVICE REFUSES TO RECOGNISE PASSWORD AND/OR USER NAME
    My 9800 ( I have 2 - one spare )  is driving me nuts- will not let me set up email accounts from my other Curve model.
    Repeatedly told that either user name or details are wrong, yet they are RIGHT on website.
    Exasperated 
    Help please??
    Fair winds and kind landfalls

    Thank you- I have read through that thread and can see some resonance with my issue.
    My AOL emails work VERY fast with BB, in fact almost simultaneously received on PC & Torch " ping ping!"
    This issue only raised its ugly head when I had 2 Torches replaced by my insurers. 
    Whilst the claim was in process I used a new Curve, loaded from backup on PC to keep emails going and of course phone & web facilities. ( I use the BB to power internet via bluetooth to my PC / laptop when living on a remote island with no phone lines or power supplies)  All was fine. Swapping email accounts took a few minutes with the usual password confirmations for each AOL screenname etc. 
    Then the new Torches came back from insurers, and I tried to swap devices. Phoning & texting is fine. Al data and contacts swap over fine.
    SETUP email accounts.............stymied every time. It says repeatedly that my user name/password is invalid etc etc etc
    Have tried security wipes. Have tried setting up new BB ID & passwords on PC website. All is OK until I try to setup emails on the Torches.  This has used up ridiculous amounts of time- all wasted.
    I love the BB phones and the fast email push......in fact I recently bought a new Sony Xperia Z1 but sent it back because of wifi coverage meant no emails on that superb phone for lots of the time.
    Good old BB I said..........I always get emails wherever I am. ( Rural Scotland has very patchy radio & wifi coverage)  
    Was about to purchase new Z10s just to get a bigger screen, but now I am averse to buying ANY BB phone again because this present mess means I may never get emails set up again.  How nuts is that?
    Many thanks for all help & suggestions..........boy do I need them!!

  • Trying to get into the app store and it asks for my password. The problem is that it is showing an Apple ID I don't use ghosted in. I can't figure out how to use my correct ID.

    Trying to get into the App Store to update some apss. It asks for my password but the problem is that it is showing ghosted an Apple ID I don't use. Can't figure out how to fix it.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

    It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it.
