Since the last software update for mountain lion, I am having a problem when trying to remove any screenshots to the trash. A box appears saying "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this"
I have checked Finder Preferences and cannot find any box that I can 'UNTICK' to resolve this. I sometimes take a lot of screenshots when I am researching something and now find I have to enter my password for every screenshot to be removed to trash.
Anyone got a solution please, Thanks

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

Macbook, Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Safari 5.1.1
Since the last software update, Safari will not save bookmarks history.
Prefs. are set correctly, Cache has been dumped, reset done, appropriate .plist trashed, and finally an uninstall and clean install done
with 5.1.1 download from the Apple support site.
The problem still exists, making me very suspicious that this is a bug.
Any solutions? Let's hear 'em.

M. Davis:
Thank you for your kind and prompt solution. It is a winner.
Problem solved, again many thanks and a very fine evening/day wherever you
may be.

*Update*
I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
"Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support" see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification
Hopefully someone at Apple can respond ....

Why is my iPhone 5 freezing since the last software update?

My iPhone 5 started to freeze after the last software update for iOS 7.1.
It started shortly after when I noticed my timer would freeze and I wouldn't be able to turn it off once the alarm sounded at the end. Usually I can reverse the freeze by pressing the off button.
However, this morning I visited several webpages embedded in emails and after about the 5th webpage, the phone locked and the last webpage I visited lightly flashed and kept recycling. Pressing the off button didn't help this time. I finally plugged it in to recharge and after an hour or so, it returned to the normal menu settings after putting in my password.
The problem seems to be getting more frequent.
Has anyone else had problems with their iPhone 5 freezing?

Thanks for the suggestion but I tried that first and it didn't bring up the apple logo as it should have.
I haven't tried "restore" yet but I guess that will be my next move when it freezes again.
(Several friends have mentioned their iPhones are freezing now too after the last software update so this problem could get bigger.)

I can't answer or update status in Facebook since the last software update. Is anyone else having this issue?

I can't update my status or reply to someone else's post on FB since I downloaded the last software update to my MacPro. Is anyone else having this issue? I have cleared my cache, history and data. I have restarted and logged off and nothing seems to help.

I did exactly what you said to do.. Resetting my network settings didn't work but restarting my router worked like a charm, no more issue's and my ipad is up and running and working great without anymore problems. THANK YOU!

HT204380 I have 8 mb of broadband and am unable to use facetime as it loses the connection. The same happens with Viber. This seems to have happened since the last software update. Has anybody else had this problem.Regards, Kevin

I have 8 mbs of broadband but it does not seem to be adequate for using Facetime or Viber. I lose the connection via Facetime every few minutes and Viber doesn't work at all. It always says that the network connection is poor yet it's showing a full signal on the phone. It was a lot better before the last software update. has anybody else had this problem.

CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

I have an iPad2 and have been experiencing problems since the last software update. My iPad randomly freezes and has to be shut down and restarted to move between apps. The screen also suddenly enlarges and can't be reduced in size without shutting down

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same issue of the screen freezing or suddenly enlarging. I'm having to shut down and restart as much as five or six times a day. This has been happening pretty regularly for the past week or more, but seems to be getting worse. Could it be the last software update?

Close all apps in Multi-Task Window.
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

Since the last 2 updates to Firefox my screen flickers or blanks out when I scroll my mouse, or type. I also can't scroll using the side bar on the right side of the screen. Please help!

As detailed in my question. I need help as my screen has been flickering or blanking out when I scroll my mouse or when I type. This has only started happening since the last 2 updates to Firefox.

Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.<br />

My iphone has crashed since the last software update

I have an iphone 2g I think, is there a way to tell?
But anyway it was working fine before I updated it with the lastest iphone software update and now the iphone has completely crashed. I connected it with the USB cable and it said Apple mobile device (recovery mode) tries to install the hardware and doesn't. So I unplug the iphone and try again and the same thing happens. Third time, the computer doesn't even recognize there is anything connected. On the screen of my iphone is a picture of the USB cable and the itunes logo telling me to connect but I can't.
I have tried many things to get it working, like download the driver, check if the USB apple connection is there. And from what I can see its all there but it still doesn't recognize my iphone or connection.
Any ideas? I have only had this iphone for a few months and can't understand how a apple software update can ultimately crash there products.
I need any help. Many thanks.

Copied from your previous post.
You are right the Iphone is locked into the carrier softbank from Japan and its not the 3g model its the one before it, I am not sure what model.
If your iPhone is not the 3G model - it is the one before that, this means your iPhone is the first generation iPhone or the original iPhone, which WAS NOT sold officially by Apple in Japan. The first generation iPhone was sold officially by Apple in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T, in the UK as carrier locked with O2, in Germany as carrier locked with T-Mobile, and in France as carrier locked with Orange and as officially unlocked by Orange. The ONLY country where the first generation was sold as officially unlocked was in France, which is required by French law.
The original iPhone - the one before the 3G was not sold by Apple in Japan directly or through Softbank.
Did you purchase your iPhone from Softbank or from an Apple store in Japan ? If so, this would also mean your iPhone is carrier locked with Softbank since the iPhone is sold in Japan officially as carrier locked with Softbank only, and this would be the 3G or 3GS, not the original iPhone. This would also mean you are roaming internationally with Softbank with your iPhone in China. If you are using a SIM card from a carrier in China with your iPhone, your iPhone has been hacked to be unlocked unless you purchased your iPhone from an unofficial source in Japan which was sold originally as new officially in France as officially unlocked by the carrier Orange in France.
Is your iPhone is carrier locked with Softbank in Japan, are you paying Softbank international roaming fees while using your iPhone in China?

Since the last software update I can not access my ibooks which I purchased. Why

"makequeuesagent wants to make changes" and wants my password. Should i accept that? My printer works even though i reject (Cancel).

When trying to print on my HP PSC 1510 printer i get the message: "makequeuesagent wants to make changes" and asks me to enter my password.
I have had this iMac and the printer since 2008 and the first time i have heard of "makequeuesagent".
If I click "cancel" my printjob continues without problems - but the message pops up again next time i want to print.
Should i worry about malware - or just enter my password to get rid of the message?

If you have been printing before and no recent OS X changes, then I would highly suspect a compromised printer or drive, or perhaps a permissions problem with your Mac.
What you should do is first run through these steps to eliminate the Mac as the problem, you could be having other issues that is causing this issue.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Then I would check with HP support page and see if your machine requires specialised drivers installed and/if it requires a update.
I would uninstall the HP software and reinstall it with the more recent version.
Lastly if you contact HP and they have no idea why this is occuring, I would suspect a compromised printer by hackers, which has been going around lately, ask HP if there is a method to flush their printers RAM/firmware etc.

Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
