Pop up window asks for password to access os x applications:  how to bypass necessary signing in?

pop up window asks for password to access os x applications: how to bypass annoying signing in?

Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

  • Weird Pop-up window asking for password.

    I have an iPhone 3gs (I know, I know...I'll upgrade soon!) and lately a window pops up (constantly) that asks for my password for a Yahoo account that I don't recognize...am I being "hacked"? - or at least is someone trying?
    Kind of freaking me out.

    Hi...here's what the pop-up says...
    Password Required
    Enter the password for the CalDAV
    account "Yahoo!"
    I have no idea what CalDav means...or what it's for....I have no association with CalDAV - I can't seem to get rid of it. I have looked under all my settings and can't find anything with this name....

  • HT204053 An old Apple ID keeps popping up and asking for password; how do I get rid of it?

    An old Apple ID keeps popping up and asking for password; how do I get rid of it?

    Here is what I did to fix it on Win 7 64-bit system:
    Computer > C: > Program Files
    Delete the Oberon Games File
    If you have a Program Files (x86), delete it there, too.
    Reboot.

  • Hope I'm in the right place.  First time user.  Not tech savvy.  Just upgraded to OSX Mavericks.  Box keeps asking me to enter my iCloud password.  I keep entering my password but box keeps popping back up asking for password?!  I selected cancel but what

    Hope I'm in the right place.  First time user.  Not tech savvy.  Just upgraded to OSX Mavericks.  Box keeps asking me to enter my iCloud password.  I keep entering my password but box keeps popping back up asking for password?!  I selected cancel but what should I do next time it asks for my iCloud password?  Is my iCloud working?  How do I retrieve my password?
    Thanks

    In the iCloud pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked Mail and check it again.

  • A pop up window asking for my password?

    Ever since I changed the admistrators password, this stupid window keeps popping up.
    I've searched everywhere and it's driving me crazy LOL All I do is cancel it (hit the red circle)but it keeps coming back.
    any ideas?
    It says that Safari is asking for the password...

    This is in the Help section..and it isn't true. I never DID create a keychain password. And, it is NOT the same password as my login password. I've tried every password I've ever used, and NONE OF THEM WORK. This is really (oh, excuse me while I hit the cancel button twice) ARGH The only password I ever set was the adminstrator one. I used to set Screen Saver passwords on PC's with ease...the Mac password system is wayyy too complicated.
    ========================
    You start with a single keychain, which is created automatically the first time you log in to your Mac OS X user account. Your default keychain has the same password as your login password. This keychain is unlocked automatically when you log in to Mac OS X and is referred to in Keychain Access menus as the "login" keychain.
    You can create different keychains to store passwords for different purposes (for example, one for work and one for online shopping) or make a copy of a keychain so you can take it with you to other computers.
    Keychains can be accessible to just a single user or sha

  • Terminal Window asking for password when opening

    I don't know what happens but everytime I open a terminal window its ask me for password. If I type my admin password it starts saying that can't found my ~ directory and starts in :/ instead of :~
    It is also showing ttys001 instead of 000 as usual.
    I don't know what it is, I think it have some relation with closing terminal windows without logging out of a ssh section, but I don't know how to resolve it. I tried reboot, "exit", delete com.apple.terminal
    Any sugestion?

    This is just a wild guess, but might there be a "sudo" command in a file in your home directory that's run when you launch a Terminal session, such as .bash_profile, .bash_login, or .profile? (This list assumes that you're using bash as your shell.)

  • NOKIA 6230i asking for password to access MMC

    Hi there to every one,
    I'm using a Kingston 512mb MMC with my Nokia 6230i. I do not know how it happend, but when I tried to access the MMC few days back, the phone asked for the password. I don't remember setting up any password, so I'm stuck here. The phone is not showing up any information about the card including size, free and used memory. mean while my other MMC is working fine. The phone only supports java applicatons and I could not find any to recover or reset the password.
    I tried to connect the phone with my PC but its no use.
    The phone askes for the password in data storage mode, and PC_Suit does not show the card in data enhancement mode.
    NOTE: It is a MMC, not SD.
    TIA to every one who could provide support.

    Try to format the MMC either in the phone or in a computer. Slow or full format.
    If it won't help, check it with some SW for errors. For instance ZAR ( Zero Assumption Recovery ).

  • Date reset on macbook pro, 5 pop up windows asking for permission, worried.

    I restarted by macbook pro this morning and was informed that the date had been reset to a date before Jan 1st 2008 (Sunday December 31, 2000) and I had five pop up windows appear asking for me to grant permission connections to these applications:
    nmbd
    mDNSResponder
    cups-id
    krb5kdc
    configd
    Has anyone had this happen to them? I'm not exactly sure what to do.

    Should I worry about nmbd and krb5kdc?
    Exactly the same thing has just happened to me... I restarted mac book pro, date was changed to 1 Jan 2008, and those 5 boxes popped asking for permission to connect.
    I did the same as brogroove: reset the date but I also allowed those connections.
    Everything works now but i am worried because "nmbd" and "krb5kdc" are listed as allowed connections in my firewall setting.
    Are they dangerous or normal programmes?
    They look out of place on the the allowed connections list as I easily recognise the other programmes eg. iTunes, Safari, etc.
    Can I delete them from the allowed connections or should I leave them?

  • I deleted Yahoo acct- now Yahoo request box pops up constantly asking for password!?

    I had trouble with someone hacking my Yahoo acct- since I haven't used it in years, I deleted it- NOW, every few minutes a box pops up (from Yahoo!) asking for my password.  Is this Yahoo Sync?  I don't have any Yahoo listed in Address book... I can't find any reference to Yahoo in the system.  Where is this request coming from?  How can I stop this madness?  Thank you.

    What is posting the dialog?  Is it from your browser?  Did you (once upon a time) install some yahoo software?
    If it is your browser then look at your add-ons/extensions for anything "yahoo".
    If it's something you installed, then look in your Accounts system preferences login items for any yahoo related app being specified to launch.
    Similarly look in these other places:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents (in your home directory, use Finder Go menu, Go To Folder)
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/StartupItems

  • Got a new iPad and set up to sync with iCloud and now asking for password which I never set. How do I get on device if I don't know what it thinks password is?

    Help.  I just got a new iPad 2 and set up sync with iCloud and no password.  Now asking for a password and I never set one up.  What password does it want: iTunes, iPhone (no real password there either).  Tried as many passwords as I could think with the iPad locking me out since I don't have the password!  Would like to use the iPad but can't get on to try it.
    Thanks.
    Desparate

    So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
    Yes...  sorry.
    In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free  >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless  >  Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

  • Time Machine asks for password to access sparse bundle on a new mac while restoring

    Hello,
    i know this is a common issue so i excuse myself in advance, but i couldn't find the solution to my answer so here i am.
    I have been backing up (and restoring) to an external HD connected via USB to my TM.
    my mac eventually decided to die (apparently doesnt like orangejuice and collapsed after a few drops of it)
    my TM is configured with username access and i can correctly connect to my TM with a backup mac with my username and password.
    the problem is that connecting in this way the TM wouldn't let me open the backup from the external backup (connected to TM with a net cable) and prompts me for a password.
    i disconnected the external hd and connected via USB to my new mac and now the system is asking me for a password again.
    i understand this password should be the one i originally had on my old mac, so i reinstalled the new mac and setup a single user with the same name and the same password, to no avail.
    i think the situation is the same as in this post https://discussions.apple.com/message/21373828 which was apparently solved but the user "forgot" to tell us how
    i am on a trip now with my HD with me (i NEED the data i will try till i die to get it back)
    any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    thank you for your answer, but that option would be good if that was not my company's mac and policy says to send it to repair (we have apple care) untouched
    other than that, i dont remember setting a password when i first started the backup.
    the backup was set by me in the external disk, but i can't remember having set a password for the backup specifically
    i read in a post that the password has to be the same as my user's password.
    in case it should also be the same id, i also created subsequent users with which to try to open the sparsebundle (502, 503, ...)
    no luck
    so, i wouldnt want to wait for the genius to open the mac and give me the hd back (which will happen in a week), because i need my data now and because i wouldn't want to get in a position i cant have my data back in case enext time is not the mac to leave me but the disk!

  • Repetitive asking for password to access PSE12

    I just bought Photoshop Elements 12 after having the trial version. I think I uninstalled the trial version (I think I was asked too) and now Adobe keeps asking me for my password, over and over and over. What am I doing wrong????

    Here are the screenshots in order:

  • Download stops after run window asks for password or to run as current user.

    when I try ro download Firefox the download stops after it asks to continue as the administater or current user. I do not remember my password so I try to continue as the current user and the program just disappears.

    if you save the download of firefox to your computer and then right click and say "Run as Adminstrator" it should work...i was having the same problem and it worked for me.

  • "Mobile Me" CONSTANTLY popping up and asking for password

    If I get one more "Mobile me can't verify your password, please go into mail settings and check to make sure your username and password are correct" pop up message, I am going to chuck this laptop out into the snow. Please help!
    I have MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8. All my servers keep going offline. I am suddenly getting Mobile Me messages. I thought Mobile Me was switched over ages ago. I have multiple server names--some are imap, some are stmp--mac.com, me. com, mobile me.com, etc. etc. My email won't send and only sometimes receives.
    1. what should the server I use be called? stmp.mac..com? stmp.icloud.com? imap something?
    2. my mail account (when I go into mail preferences) is still "mobile me." Is that correct? Should it be icloud now?
    I have looked through these discussions and tutorials but I cannot find/understand the information I need to solve my problem.
    I am not tech savvy, so easy step-by-step help is appreciated very much!

    My problem and phone is essentially the same (iPhone 4S 6.1.3) and my trouble began after trying to make an "in-app purchase" which did not work. I have tried doing several resets with no luck. Have you found any remedies?
