Recovery partition always ask for a WI-Wi-Fi  FI network, how to turn of?

If I start from the recovery partition, it always asks for a network.  since we have our network almost never on (security) I wonder if you can turn this off or bypass.
I know that if I start up the computer holding alt I can select the recovery volume, but wondered it there is a faster way.
Thanks.

If you press Command, Option (Alt) and R keys instead, you will start in Internet Recovery, which requires you to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Really? I did it a couple of months ago and don't recall having to do it wirelessly, since I have no such network connection. About OS X Recovery states:
In order to reinstall OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion, you will need to be connected to an Ethernet or Wi-Fi network.

  • When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine.  Please help!

    When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine (my IT guy at school's-I am a faculty with admin priviledges).  I have signed in as me, have set the main preferences login user as me,and everywhere on the laptop I can use my apple ID except here.  It always shows me a greyed out ID of my IT.  How can I reset this to my ID? It doesn't give me an option to change the user ID, only a link to reset password.  I reset it, but it did not change the problem.  Can someone help me?

    It's not an ID problem, it's an ownership problem.
    When someone uses their personal Apple ID to buy and download content, the content is licensed to them and has their Apple ID engrained in it's DNA. It is an anti-piracy program. And when that personal Apple ID is used to setup a new Mac, it involves the Mac itself, the shipping OS and any pre-installed apps as well.
    It's not the correct way to handle Macs that belong to a business or an institution. And had it been handled correctly they would not now be in this predictument needing a drastic remedy.

  • I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????

    I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????

    There is only one thing that happens -- the Server does not respond.
    Your mac concludes that you must have entered the wrong password. That may happen once, but then other issues become more likely, and it keeps asking for a new password.
    Sometimes the Server is down for maintenance. Sometimes something is configured wrong. Some services do this on purpose to get you to use WebMail (pick up your Mail with your Browser) so they can show you some ads.

  • Why does Intel version always ask for my password when adding loops?

    When I add loops to the PPC version, it never asks for my password. I want this behavior on the Intel version. Always asking for my password’s really annoying. Thanks very much. Peace.

    Being able to to access, install and change anything on your computer with a simple keystroke is just not a good thing security wise. Maybe you don't download from unknown sources, use a wifi network, use public or work networks, IM, let others use your computer or let OS and software get out of date. But people reading this may not be in your situation. Most password hacking tools will start with single keystrokes and no password will gain access in a fraction of a second.

  • How do I get rid of iMac always asking for login keychain

    How do I get rid of iMac always asking for login keychain, very annoying

    There is a utility called Keychain Access.  It is in your Applications/Utilities/ folder.  Keychain Access has tools to do "first aid" and a reset on your keychain.  Here are some Apple Support articles with instructions.

  • Finder always asks for password in Documents

    When I try to make a new document, to save something or to edit something in my \Documents folder, Finder always asks for a password.
    Saving in another program to the Documents folder isn't possible because the program can't write to the folder and just says ACCESS DENIED (Final Cut Express).
    I checked the permissions of the Documents folder and it says User (me) Read and write and everyone (No access). What should I do to make my Documents folder somewhat more accessable?

    mve87 wrote:
    Odd, but it worked. Thanks! The folder now behaves as it used to.
    But nothing changed in the Permissions, which I think is odd.
    Shouldn't Apple make a easier way to do this?
    ah, yes, that's a good point, oft discussed on this forum. the problem is that there are a lot of ACLs like those "everyone deny delete" ones that were preventing you from modifying items in Documents that are completely invisible from GUI. as a result you look at the permissions panel and think that everything is normal when in fact there may be a number of ACLs present. this is a terrible design decision by Apple. one can only hope it will be addressed in future versions of OS X.

  • My computer is always asking for passwords

    When I turn on my Mac it´s always asking for my iCloud and Keychain password. I don´t know what is happening, even if I introduce my password it will ask me again...

    Have you changed your password lately? If so, you should reset your keychain.

  • Device always asking for apple password b4 downloading apps

    my device is always asking for apple store password even though I'm supposedly signed on. Is that normal?

    That is normal, because it doesn't want somebody that may have stolen your device to go using your money on apps you don't want.

  • I was using a different itune id and now a new one but when i want to update the old app its always asking for my old app id. Is there a way to change my old app to my new id so that i dont have to use my old id.

    I was using a different itune id and now a new one but when i want to update the old app its always asking for my old app id.
    Is there a way to change my old app to my new id so that i dont have to use my old id?

    There is no other way you can do now. Actually, you don't need to create a new Apple ID account, you can change the Apple ID from old email account to other email accout easily by all the steps below.
    1, Open iTunes > iTunes Store > log in old Apple ID > Click on your apple ID on the right hand side on top > choose account > Apple ID > Edit
    As long as you only change your Apple ID, then all the old apps are still under your new email account as well as you can keep downloading new apps.

  • Every time I launch itunes it always asks for password

    Every time I launch iTunes it always asks for password. I have no pending downloads or app updates. Nothing. There is no downloads plist to delete, no preferences to set - Fed up wth this. Been searching for answer for months. iTunes Store help just gives the runaround.

    Good idea, thanks, but no, that didn't solve it. Any other thoughts?

  • CVS always asks for password

    Whenever I contact the CVS server (over at Sourceforge) JDev always asks for the password to the server. Is there a way I can make JDev store this password in some way?
    I use the CVS-executable in TortoiseCVS and also use the TortoisePlink executable as the ssh client. Everything works just perfect, it's just really annoying to have to type in my password for every little CVS activity.
    Any solutions?

    The user is in the best position to decide if there is a security issue with persisting the password in JDeveloper or not.
    I had this problem too. There is obviously a conflict in requirements of security vs usability so really, you should warn the user but let the user decide how to configure it and let him take responsibility.
    JDeveloper should interoperate with the user's environment, within reason, and not make him change it.
    Note, the HTTP proxy login has a similar problem. Not every time, but often when JDeveloper goes to the www it re-asks for the proxy password.
    I dont care if JDeveloper stores either password in the clear in its XML configuration files, as long as it remembers them. It can warn me but it should do it if I tell it to ignore the risk. Then I can get on with my development job rather than having to reconfigure my CVS server or www proxy which are not mine to reconfigure anyway.
    Cheers,
    Simon.

  • Cannot setup email account always asking for password

    Just got the IPad3 and setting up my email account.  I tried setting it up the same way as my IPhone.  Had  the email account and password entered but when I exit, it gives me a message saying that it may not be able to send or received mail.  I don't know what else is missing from the setup. 
    When I try to open my email, it always asks for the password, entered the password again but does not open my email.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • HT1277 Can't sync my icloud with mail... always ask for password

    Can't sync my icloud with mail... always ask for password

    You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
    Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
