Script keeps asking for permission to access contacts

I have an Applescript that I've saved as an app. I have it run automatically every night. It goes through my contacts and does some cleanup work for me.
However, the script has started asking for permission to access my contacts on every single run. This didn't happen under 10.9... I believe it started with Yosemite. I'm on 10.10.2 now.
Under Mavericks, if I locked the script, that solved the "ask for permission every time problem." But that no longer seems to work.
Any thoughts?

If you post the script, I am sure someone will have an idea what's happening.

MIDlet keeps asking for permission

I have created a MIDlet 2.0 using WTK 2.5.1, built it, packaged it and set the JAD midlet permissions to:
MIDlet-1: nieuwetest, , HelloWorldPlusMIDlet
MIDlet-Jar-Size: 3091
MIDlet-Jar-URL: nieuwetest.jar
MIDlet-Name: nieuwetest
MIDlet-Permissions: javax.microedition.io.Connector.file.read,javax.microedition.io.Connector.file.write
MIDlet-Vendor: Unknown
MIDlet-Version: 1.0
MicroEdition-Configuration: CLDC-1.0
MicroEdition-Profile: MIDP-2.0Can anyone please tell me WHY both the emulator and my nokia N73 keep asking for permission to read/change files? Am I missing something?
These are the imports I use:
import javax.microedition.io.Connector;
import javax.microedition.io.file.FileConnection;
import javax.microedition.io.file.FileSystemRegistry;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Command;

The application keeps asking for each file whether it should allow reading it. Is it possible that this permission has to be granted only once?This seem to be possible only for signed MIDlets, although I am not completely sure.
Per my reading of MIDP 2 security policy ([click here to check the full specification|http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/maintenance/jsr118/MIDP_2.0.1_MR_addendum.pdf]), your operations belong to Read User Data Access functional group. As far as I understand, policy allows Session and Blanket *) user settings for this group only if the MIDlet is signed.
It looks like one can perform "trial signing" with WTK to test on emulator how real device would behave with real signed MIDlet. Your version of WTK (2.5.1, right?) has documentation on this, [click here for more details|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5348041&messageID=10508179#10508179].
*) Session, Blanket and Oneshot user settings are explained in [this article|http://dsc.sun.com/mobility/midp/articles/permissions/] as follows: +"...For _oneshot_ permissions, the MIDP implementation retains no memory of the user's decision and will ask for a permission every time it is needed. For _session_ permissions, the implementation remembers the user's decision until the MIDlet is terminated. Finally, for _blanket_ permissions, the user's decision sticks until the MIDlet suite is uninstalled...."+

Our company has an Intranet site which is accessed on the web. it is an https site. Since FF upgraded to v23 it keeps asking for permission every time the si

Our company's https Intranet site worked OK with FF 22. With v23 a small drop down box keeps appearing every time we go to a different page on the site. It asks for permission to load the page. With constant use this is extremely irritating. There is no option to allow the site. What's the fix or should I go back to IE which had its own set of stupid questions.

hello, for details on why this blocking mechanism was introduced in firefox please refer to [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]].
if you'd like to generally turn of mixed content blocking nevertheless, enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''security.mixed_content.block_active_content'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.

Keychain keeps asking for permission to

How do I permanently grant keychain access to using the certificate for my MS Exchange and Cisco VPN? Everytime I use these apps keychain asks fro permission to access.

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Firewall keeps asking for permission.

Hi,
I've enabled Firewall in OX 10.8 but everytime I open an application that can access the Internet, it keeps asking me that whether I want to allow permission the program to do or not. I checked Firewall in system preferences and it does have list of programs that I allowed to connect to Internet, so why it keeps asking everytime I open those programs?
Thanks.

Hi guys,
I have the same problem and I just want to add my thoughts.
Ok, fair enough, we don't need two firewalls.
But here is the thing that concerns me. The issue for me is, this asking for permission didn't occur on my mac using mavericks and mountain lion. Why should it appear with Yosemite? I don't understand why it needs to ask for permission repeatedly when I have set the program to allow incoming connections from my firewall settings.
It is also the same case with an app that I have allowed access to use the accessibility feature of my mac. Every time I launch, I have to give permission even though it is already listed on my accessibility preference to have permission. I use this app all the time, and having to repeat this process over and over and over again becomes irritating.
As much as having two firewalls on at a time is not necessary, I believe it is even more not necessary for me have to go through the silly questions if I do chose to leave the firewall on (don't forget the accessibility) and have given permission to let these apps do what they do. To this, I vote that this issue should get some attention by mac and the community.
Have a great one guys,
Peace.

After Updating My Mac Keeps Asking for Permission on Certain Apps

Hi guys,
I have this problem where my MBPr asks for permission repeatedly to allow one of my apps to access the internet after I updated to Yosemite (NOTE: I didn't have this problem on my previous versions of OS). It is listed on my firewall as allow incoming connections, and it doesn't make sense for me to have to keep allowing it.
It is also the same case with the app that I have allowed access to use the accessibility feature of my mac. Every time I launch, I have to give permission even though it is already listed on my accessibility preference to have permission.
This is what I have done to try to fix it but to no avail: Deleting the app from both of the allowed list and re-adding it again.
I use this app all the time, and having to repeat this process over and over and over again becomes irritating. I would like to have my MBPr to not have to require to keep asking me this, can anyone help me?
The app in particular is Steam.app
Have a great one guys,
Peace.

Go to your Utilities folder and open Keychain Access. Follow the steps here: Mac OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password.

Why does firefox keep asking for permission every time it starts, it never has before?

I'm using Windows 7 and recently used CCleaner to clean my registry and now Firefox asks for permission to make changes to my computer every time it starts. I have checked for viruses and malware, tried running Firefox as the administrator, removed all but one of my add-ons but nothing helps. Any suggestions?

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator. 
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties". 
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected. 
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory. 
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

Software keeps asking for permission to allow access

I have a couple of software that keep asking to allow or not, a connection to the intenet. I select ALLOW .. it shows up in my list of permissions, but every time I start the software, I get asked again ... I had this problem some time back with iTunes, but that was resolved .. now with some 3rd party softwares, the issue remains ... even with the Lion upgrade ... any solutions?

This software doesn't use the keychain .... thanks or the option ...

Firewall keeps asking for permission to allow incoming...

Help! I have a simple Intel MacMini system running OS X 10.5.5 (Client) with a few web services running on it. It has run for years without problem (mostly Tiger, more recently Leopard). Recently have been having problems with the Leopard Firewall asking permission for 'incoming' every time I start the machine. This is a real pain - in particular because it seems if you don't get to the dialog asking permission in reasonable time, OS X Firewall assumes an answer 'No' and short of rebooting there doesn't appear to be any way of telling it you want access allowed.
Just for clarity - all the apps in question are in the 'Allowed Apps' list already, and set to "Allow Access". Also, I recently moved the server from an old CoreDuo Mac Mini to a new Core2Duo Mac Mini - using Migration Assistant. The server is running the following useful apps:
CommunigatePro mail server
Parallels Desktop running Win2K server
PureFTPd Manager
Apart from Activity Monitor, nothing else runs on the machine.
The problem applications are CommunigatePro, Some 'Helper' applications for CommunigatePro, and PureFTP (installed / run via PureFTPd Manager).
I am guessing that this is either a permissions thing (perhaps OS X Firewall can't 'mark' the app as having permission - if that is what it does), or an app signing thing - the apps that are causing problems are third party sourced. But all have worked reliably under Leopard and Tiger for ages - so I don't think it is necessarily someone else's (i.e. not Firewall's) fault. Also I have run Disk Utility to check permissions - and it has found nothing to fix.
Anyone got any ideas?

I hit the same problem. In my case the problem was related to a downloaded JDK that included source code for Java development. This new JDK was installed at the default location /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_26-b03-383.jdk/. Some of my scripts use this version of Java and those are the ones that were giving the warning. I was not able to add this Java to firewall settings because the stupid UI would not allow me to navigate to that directory. I am not sure what prevented it from going past /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_26-b03-383.jdk/ directory but that was the reason why I could not add an allow rule for that java executable. Anyways, the command line solution to this was to run -
sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_26-b03-383.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
This added the second java into firewall rules. In your case I would suspect there is another version of java executable that is run to the one that you have already allowed. If you right click and the java rule and do show in finder you will probably be able to figure out if you are indeed using the allowed java.

Cloud keeps asking for keychain password !

imac is an early 2008 model, now with max memory(4gb) and now running Yosemite O/S.
The machine keeps asking for the keychain access password to open Cloud (spelt cloudd this morning !). We put the password in and it is accepted. A few minutes later when opening some other file, can be any, then the password request is repeated. It is the same if the iMac is not used for any period and goes into sleep mode, password wanted on re-use.
I assume that somewhere there is a setting that needs tweaking ? Where and what please ?
Hope this makes sense. Wasn't sure if asking in iMac section was the correct place or if it is a O/S query.
Cheers and Thanks.
Brian.

Weather Channel App will not Stop asking for Permission

Device = BB Torch 9810
Have installed/removed/re-installed Weather Channel App several times and it Constantly keeps asking for Permission (@ least 10 times a Day).
Solution Please?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Some of these apps get pretty tricky, let's take it on!
You will need to turn your radio off, so pick a time when you can be close to the home phone.
Go click on the options icon>click on device> the scroll to Application Resource monitor turn it on
and let it shut down streaming apps as well. Save and exit. We just set the first trap!
No scroll up one to application management. Click to open and Under Applications select optional.
Now make sure the you delete every instance of the Weather Channel there may be a group of several. Save and exit and open your browser .click>options select clear browsing data. Clear everything cookies pushed content, download list cache, and history. Click the back button twice and leave the browser. Turn your a radios back on. Let's if our trap works and the app is pushing content to your phone.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks,

Firewall keeps constantly asking for permission

Everytime I boot my Mac it keeps asking for incoming network pemission for the same applications.
In the individual cases these are the following apps: Billings.app, Billings Server Admin.app, Daylite Server Admin.app, ScanSnap Manager.app.
e.g.
These applications are however, already listed in the firewall list, under system settings.
e.g.
Thanks and great if anyone could help me:
1. Is this an indivudual problem in respect of the very programs?
2. Could certificates be a relevant factor here? If so, what are possible solutions?
2. How is it possible to reset the firewall settings via a terminal command or so and build it up from scratch, if this makes sense at all?

Well, parts of those apps are
1. Is this an indivudual problem in respect of the very programs?
I think so. Especially if the apps concerned want to open non-standard ports for outside apps to connect to, and possibly they are choosing different ports each time. Contact the manufacturers to see if they have some support, forum etc.
2. Could certificates be a relevant factor here? If so, what are possible solutions?
I don't think so; there should be visible warnings about expired or invalid or non-existent certificates. You could check Console, All Messages. Note the time one of the apps asks for permission and see what messages appear at that time.
2. How is it possible to reset the firewall settings via a terminal command or so and build it up from scratch, if this makes sense at all?
I'm sure there is a way but I don't know it. If I find it I'll reply back with it.

Ditto. Guest accounts shouldn't have a password. No way to enter one in System Prefs...

How did the Amex App access my location without asking for permission first?

I just downloaded the Amex App and started using it, put in my info and logged in. Checked balances and things then logged out. After going to my settings I noticed Amex was turned on under Location Sevices and that it had accessed my location earlier. It did not ask me if I allow or not when I was logging in the App earlier. This is the first time that my location was accessed without permission from any app or safari. I realize once you allow the permission it doesn't ask again, but in my case I just downloaded the app and used it the first time. Is this how some apps may do it, without permission? I thought Apple was big on these kinds of things?

My apologies about the post but in the App there was a section where it did ask for permission. It's all good. Thanks
