Password window opens AFTER mail is displayed

My password window in mail appears AFTER my mail window is open. I want my password window to appear FIRST, before the mail opens up. I thought it would secure my mail but I was able to open my mail before it even asked for a password. Help!

Hi tteina
Your mail account password is used to receive (and, in some cases, send) mail, but it may be stored in your keychain and can be used automatically by the Mail program.
Additionally, any mail that you've already received, and that has been downloaded to your computer, is openly displayed in your Inbox without being locked by a password. This is the way that all mail applications work.
If you're concerned about someone else being able to read your email on the computer, make sure you have a good password on your OS X account, and make sure you have a login prompt when the computer starts up (System Preferences - Accounts - Login Options - untick "Automatically log in as...")
You can also use FileVault to actually encrypt your home folder with your login password, so that it cannot be read without knowing the password.

Erec - When an External window opens after click of a button

We are using an Standard Webdynpro Erec Appln.
When an External window opens after click of a button the smart form embedded in that windows view is not appearing instead and small X mark (in Red) is appearing with fully plain background
It is happening only for my system, others are able to view it properly...
I have cleared the cache, restarted the system and also re-installed the Adobe Reader too..
But still the problem persists.. Let me know what can be done in this case...
Thanks & regards,
Rashmi

The service that you are trying to use requires integration of adobe with in browser(IE). Check the option [Display PDF in browser |http://lh4.ggpht.com/_E1SpYl0ZbfE/SlI0rfQAxeI/AAAAAAAAAh4/fC9alkf1M78/Adobe_Setting.gif]in Adobe Reader preferences.
If it still doesn't show the PDF, try to reset the browser setting to Medium and re-open.

When I open FireFox the 'Security Password' window opens TWICE both must be typed in to open FireFox, Why?

When I load FireFox the Master Security Password window opens 2 times. Both must be filled in for FireFox to access passwords. Why and how do I correct this?

Are you using Firefox Sync or reopen pages that you've saved a password for?
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/what-firefox-sync
Try one of these:
* StartupMaster: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/startupmaster/
* Master Password+: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/master-password/

Close Window.Open after InfoPath 2013 submit form

Hi,
I've made an InfoPath 2013 'new' form in SharePoint 2013, but when the form is committed, it should close. So I've made a button on the form to submit it. In the rules in InfoPath, I said that it should close after submitting.
I open this form from another internal application as a window.open() javascript. In IE, it opens the form, when I submit, it stays open and the SharePoint list where the data is added to is opened too. However, in Chrome, it opens
the list in the same window after submitting, which is already slightly better.
My InfoPath rule when I submit:
So the idea is that the internal application opens the form thru a link, user fills in the form, the form submits to the list and every window closes, so the user can continue in the application, without seeing anything the SharePoint is doing in the background.
Hope any1 can help me solve this issue.
Kind regards,
Nils

Hi,
Thanks for the reaction. I've just checked these links:
The first one: I don't have any rules set to change the view of the list, so this isn't the case.
The second: As you already see in the screenshot, I've set the submit to the right action.
So, I guess neither of them are a solution to my problem, but thanks already for answering!
Hope anyone else or you have/has other idea's.
Thanks in advance,
Nils

DfMagicStage.nib window opens after upgrading to iLife 08

After upgrading from iLife 06 to iLife 08, every time I boot my Mac Pro a window opens named DfMagicStage.nib. This DfMagicStage.nib window contains the following four files: classes.nib, data.dependency, info.nib, keyedobjects.nib.
I opened up these files in TextEdit and the one thing they appear to have in common is Garage Band references.
Does anyone know what is causing this to happen? I have searched Apple's Support site and these discussion forums, and Google, but have not had any luck figuring this out.

Thanks WH! That worked like a charm. It had been bugging me ever since iLife 08 was released.
You're welcome. Glad to help. That was definitely anomalous/weird for that to happen. So far, I haven't heard of anyone else that has had that happen to them.
Anyway, glad you got it cleared up.

Prompted for password when opening icloud mail

Hi,
I downloaded Mavericks a week or so ago and everything's fine except one glitch:
Whenever I open the Mail app, it prompts me to enter my password before retrieving anything. As soon as I enter my password it connects to iCloud fine. Under Preferences (General account tab) there is a password slot into which the password can be entered. But when I do that, and then save the changes, it doesn't retain the information. When I re-open the Mail app, the same prompt re-appears. When I check Preferences, the password slot is still empty.
I also have a pop account separate from iCloud IMAP, and that works just fine. Like it did under Mountain Lion.
Is there some kind of glitch still? I downloaded today the 11-08-2013 Maverick mail update from the App store, but that didn't solve this particular problem. It appears to be related to GMail accounts only anyway.
Any thoughts on how I can get the Mail app to retain my password info for the iCloud account so that I don't have to keep re-entering it?
Many TIA for any hints!
(P.S: My machine is a 2012 15" RD MacBook Pro)

Thanks to both for your replies.
Eric,
Thanks much for that link and the Apple Token workaround. That did the trick!
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best,

Web app leaving blank window open after streaming pdf under Adobe X

We are working on upgrading to Adobe 10 for around 200 users. We have a web based Java app that is used on our local network. We send out a request to send word/excel/pdf docs to a LAN location from a content database and then the app streams it from there to the user. With pdfs, we have the pdfs open in adobe standard or reader instead of inside the browser.
When this is done, IE pops open a blank window for the streaming. With Adobe V9, excel, and word, when the document is done streaming it closes this blank window down.
With Adobe X, it finishes streaming the file, the pdf opens in Adobe, but the blank IE window never closes. We need to find a fix to this since having 200 users close over 100 blank IE windows a day really isnt an acceptable work around.
Has anyone run across something similar?
Thank you for your help.

How did you "downgrade" back to Adobe 9?? :-)
Sorry for your troubles-
All computers do eventually crash or develop glitches in the software- or turn out a crappy version like Reader X, so I save all downloads to another hardrive or disk for ease of access for when reinstalling them. Fortuanetly, I found that I had Reader 9 saved somewhere. I searched Adobe's downloads and I couldn't find a single trace of Reader 9 in their archives, of course I could've missed it. Maybe scouring the internet might turn up something.
I uninstalled X and reinstalled 9. Of course, Adobe update then wants to reinstall X, but I dismissed the update and hid the Adobe update icon at the bottom of the screen.
I'm running Vista 64 and the two programs didn't work well together. Matter of fact, since after the update was installed and uninstalled and I went back to Reader 9, Reader 9 has started to crash also- not a s bad as X did but it has it's newly found issues inherited from X- I guess.
I have been getting a lot of 'Adobe Reader has stopped working and has to close' error messages lately.
There are a few other readers out there that work as well if not better like Primo PDF. With Primo, I just didn't like all the advertisments one gets when they make a PDF- same with PDF995, so I use CutePDF's printer driver for making PDF's.I actually print more PDF's then I do reading them myself.
I was hoping that Adobe would've got the message by now and correct their faux pas with an update or a better version like Reader XI, but I guess that they are content with what they put out- gag.
Good luck. Maybe find a friend who has Reader 9 saved in their Downloads folder and move it over to a flash drive and then onto your machine??

Two Message Windows Open in Mail

Since the Mobile Me transition my Apple Mail opens twice. Two identical message viewers and two icons in the dock. My work email is also being duplicated, not just the Mobile Me stuff. I've tried playing around with Mail preferences, but to no avail. I'm running 10.5.4 and I have the new Mobile Me update as well. Everything is functioning, but it's very annoying.
Thoughts?

Hi,
What operating system and version of photoshop are you using?
Did you move/copy any plugins from an earlier version of photoshop into your present version?
Did you point the Photoshop (Edit)>Preferences>Plug-ins>Additional Plugins Folder to an earlier version of photoshop?

Recurring New Message Window opens in Mail

When I send a new message, another "New Message" window launches automatically. I can't figure out how to stop this from happening. There are currently no rules turned on and I'm only using on mailbox/account. Can anyone help me out?

Have you tried creating a new User Account and setting up Mail to work there to see if the problem manifests there as well? That would be an indicator of where the problem lies.
You can also try:
1. Quit Mail if it's running
2. Go to Home/Library/Preferences and removing the com.apple.mail.plist file.
3. Restart Mail and enter your account information again; Mail will automagically find your existing mailboxes. Then check to see if the problem remains.

Creative Cloud window opens, but nothing is displayed.

I have tried uninstalling, cleaning, and reinstalling to no avail. The window allows me to select 3 options from the cog in the upper right hand corner of the window: help, pin, or quit. Any ideas of what i can do to fix this?

Try Cloud Desktop App is blank?

How do you make the IE window open after you create the url link

can someone help me asap!!!

On the Mac, 'maximize' (the green button in the title bar) is +context sensitive+ - it expands the window based on the content of the window. If the content is not screen-filling, the window won't get any bigger than necessary. There's no 'global' solution to this for OS X, but for Safari in particular, the Saft plugin has an option for full-screen browsing.

Have you created an iCloud account? This is not the account or ID you use for iTunes. And where exactly are you turning on notes? In what area within settings of your devices?

Firefox does not open after I downloaded Microsoft antivirus, why? How to fix it?

Firefox worked fine on my desktop for years but when I downloaded Microsoft antivirus two days ago, Firefox does not work. It will not open anymore.

Thanks LN.
Now that I got an expert's attention, there are two problems that bug me all the time and have not able to get an explanation/solution:
1. After restart, the trackpad lost it's ability to tab and click. I always have to use the mouse to tap the user (myself) to get the tiny signin password window. After that, all trackpad functions work fine. This happens for me through Marverik and now Yosemite.
2. This one only happens recently after Yosemite upgrade. Everytime after restart, I have to reset my Verizon Router manually in order to establish network connection to access internet sites.
Thank you for your help,
...Jeff
