Since upgrade 'OS X'/Mirror agent require password

Since updating to 10.4.10, I am prompted for a password for the above at startup/restart of my iMac. It persists in doing so, even though I cancel. Once entered, iDisk then finally shows up on my desktop.
I've tried turning iDisk off from the System Preferences/.Mac panes. When doing that, Mail then requests a password. I then went back to the original configuration.
This started with the initial 10.4.10 update, and continues with today's (25-Jun-2007) security patch. I also had Safari 3 beta on, rolled back to 2.04. The problem continues.
I now have the Safari 3.02 beta, FYI. But, since the login request continued with 2.04, I don't believe that has had any impact in this regard.
Any constructive feedback on this is most welcome.
Ciao!

1. Try using Keychain Access (Utilities), and under the KA menu, try Keychain First Aid.
2. Try this trick I got from macWorld:
"As it turns out, the cause in that case was a corrupted file deep inside the invisible /var directory; specifically, /var/db/CodeEquivalenceDatabase. Because of this corruption, securityd—a background process that handles keychain access—kept trying and trying to access the file, sucking up RAM in the process and eventually overwhelming even OS X’s impressive memory management system, grinding the system to a halt. Deleting this file fixed the problem.".

  • Since upgrading to osx 10.8.2 sleep requires password even though i have set to open automatically.

    Since upgrading to osx 10.8.2 on my mid 2009 Mac Book Pro 15 inch, It requires me to enter my password even though automatic login is turned off. It never required this before. Why is it doing this now since the upgrade?

    Try reinstall iPhoto:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.
    If that fails then I think you need to reinstall the OS.

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires administrative password on every launch--whats with that?

    Since upgrading to Mavericks my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires administrative password on every launch which seems like an unnecessary step.  Does anyone know why this is happening and what can be done to eliminate this?

    Download and run the combo updater to refresh your files.

  • Since upgrade to IOS 10.9 and associated iTunes 11.1.3, I can no longer WiFi sync iPad (IOS 7.0.3) nor iPhone (IOS 6.1.3).  USB connection is required.  Formerly I could sync both devices without locating them physically (not necessarily charging).

    Since upgrade to OS 10.9 and associated iTunes 11.1.3, I can no longer WiFi sync iPad (IOS 7.0.3) nor iPhone (IOS 6.1.3).  USB connection is required.  Formerly I could sync both devices without locating them physically (not necessarily charging).  I have restarted both devices, turned off and on "Sync with this iPad/iPhone over WIFI" and restarted WiFi.  WiFi is operating (iPad has no SIM).  What next?

    I'm also affected by this bug in exactly the same way as you.
    Some users have had success by closing iTunes, enetering (on OS 10.9) settings --> network --> edit locations, then create a new location with the same wifi/network settings. Then restarting iTunes.
    Others have had some success by editing settings --> iCloud --> de-selecting keychain
    neither of these fixes have worked for me.
    It appears that the iPad can "see" iTunes running on my iMac because when I open settings --> general --> 'iTunes wifi sync', "sync now" is greyed out if iTunes is not running. When iTunes is started, "sync now" is enabled but just doesn't work. Nor does the iPad appear in iTunes.

  • TS3276 since upgrading to Lion I have had a plethora of problems.  First my mailboxes are not working like they were.  The yahoo mailbox keeps telling me my password is not correct.  Also, when I log on several of my programs (i.e. Neat, iTunes) just pop

    I have two mailboxes.  My Yahoo mailboxe keep telling me I have the wrong password and the mailbox ap keeps popping up.  I believe this is then screwing up my Outlook mailbox which is my work email account.  I had it configured fine and then upgrade to Lion.  Since upgrading my mailboxes are challenging to keep up and running.   Also, when I log in several of my programs autimatically pop up (NEAT, iTunes,etc), kind of like all the ads did when I was using MS.  Any ideas of why this is happening?  Is it a Lion issue?  What can I do to fix?

    Hellow keith5000 ,
    regarding your issue lets see what we can do to solve this issue.
    - have you tried safe boot
    safe boot = starting up the mac with the SHIFT- button.
    - when entering safe mode you will be able to enter and quick change some settings
    now next question do the unwanted aplications still load in safe mode , if so
    go to the Apple icon -> System preferences -> user & groups -> login items (top right on the screen from user & groups window)  now at login items u can close any unwanted aplications by deleting them or unmarking them
    - unwanted aplications will now disapear when starting up your mac os x system
    - next issue should be your authentication , this will be a bit more tricky , lets see
    same category user & groups and u will see your admin account try seeing if u have enabled the admin account right click on your admin account to see information about it and compare it if your info is correct , next see if you have authorized your admin account to write & read.
    if these still don't work , make a test account to see if this problem is user wide or system wide.

  • Iphone 4s constantly asks me for my Apple ID Password for no reason since upgrading to ios6

    Since upgrading my iphone 4s to ios6 the phone constantly asks me for my Apple ID Password for  no reason. I've gone into the Settings page and entered my password multiple time and this has not solved the problem.

    Since switching from iPhone 4 to 5 I am having the same problem.  I thought it only happened when I launched the app Line by Naver, but it's happening at other times now too. I have
    1. reset my iPhone at least 4 or 5 times
    2. erased and restored my iPhone twice
    3. tried installing Line from a different Apple ID/Apple Store (ie. US vs. Japan) at least 4 or 5 times
    4. turned off iCloud (in Settings)
    Still no luck.  The repeated password prompts are super frustrating.
    EDIT: I was running IOS 6 on my iPhone 4 for a few days before switching iPhones, and I did not notice the problem then.  Also, I thought somehow it might be related to an in-app purchase in Line, but also not sure about that.

  • Since upgrading to os x maverick, my FaceTime won't let me sign in and continues to prompt me to put in my iCloud password.

    Since upgrading to os x maverick, my FaceTime won't let me sign in and continues to prompt me to put in my iCloud password. It sometimes asks me to put it in 5-6 times and then it gives me an error saying that the program certification is revoked or expired. I live overseas and previously utilized FaceTime to talk to my girlfriend.

  • Since upgrading to 10.8.3 my key board backlight does not come on until I enter my password

    (13" MBP mid 2010).  Since upgrading to 10.8.3 my keyboard backlight does not come on until after I enter my password and mac system comes up.  Before upgrade the keyboard backlight would come on right after I pushed the On button.  It makes it difficult to enter my password in a low light setting because I can not see the keys to type my password in.  I have been using the light off of the display to help light the keyboard to see to enter my password.  Any know fix for this?

    Hey Doug,
    Thanks for your post, and welcome to the Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that your keyboard backlight is not working upon startup, the following may resolve your issue:

    After performing normal troubleshooting, these symptoms may indicate that an SMC reset may be necessary:

    The keyboard backlight appears to behave incorrectly (on Mac computers that have this feature).
    You may also want to reset your computer's PRAM:

  • Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

    I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might  be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever,  and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
    Thanks for your comments

    Hello seemeflah,
    It sounds like after updating to iOS 7, you are being prompted for a passcode to unlock your phone. Take a look at this troubleshooting from the article named:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    If you have chosen to encrypt your backup, it will contain the passcode. Disable backup encryption before restoring from backup. Learn more about iOS backups in iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, select Restore from Backup and choose the most recent backup of your device.
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling
