[Solved] System asks for encryption password multiple times

Hey guys,
I have following problem:
I am using dmcrypt for encryption of my hard drive but it seems like I have made a mistake when I installed it. But for the most time I ignored it.
When I start my system it ask for the encryption password normally. The strange thing is that it also asks for the Password when services start.
If I issue a command with systemctl start XXX I also get following message:
Please enter passphrase for disk Crucial_CTXXXXXSSD1 (lukslvm)
There is no problem if I just press Enter and go on actually but this still bugs me.
I wonder what I did wrong at that time.
Edit:
/etc/crypttab:
lukslvm UUID=xxxxxxxxxxx------xxxxxxxxxx none luks
lvm pvscan:
PV /dev/mapper/vgarch VG vgarch lvm2 [223,38 GiB / 0 free]
Total: 1 [223,38 GiB] / in use: 1 [223,38 GiB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]

Fixed by removing the entry in /etc/crypttab
I don't even remember adding it there but it has been already some years.

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. Is it Lion?

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. As you can imagine this is very annoying. It says I am not connected to the internet and offers me a choice of nearby networks including mine and then asks for a password when I select it. Why does it do this with our new MacBooks (also with my son's brand new one) and not with the iPhone, iPad and older MacBook? They happily automatically connect to our network after entering the password just the once.

Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.

How can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?

how can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?
This is really driving me nuts.....
Thanks

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click General.
Open the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences
2. Select “Require password...NEVER after sleep or screen saver begins.” You can adjust the amount of delay before a password is required in the pop-up menu.
From what I am aware, you cannot turn off the keychain.
I hope this helps.

How do I turn off being asked for my password EVERY time I download an App on the app store? When I go to the security page on "Manage my Apple ID" it only has a link to set-up two step verification...not disable it.

You can't.

I am trying to put previously purchased apps onto my 2nd device but it asks for a password EVERY time. Is there a way to change settings to entering password while I am working? That is how my 1st device works.

Take it back to Best Buy and talk to the store manager. Possibly they can work something out with Apple.
In the meantime, try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Mail asked for a password each time it starts

I've used gmail (IMAP) for several months with no problems, until recently. Now Mail asks for a password each time it starts, then again when I try to send a mail. Despite re-entering the password and checking the box for the password to be stored, I'm prompted again the next time I re-start Mail.
I've tried several remedies described here in support discussions including:
1. delete the imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com entries in the keychain then re-enter the password via Mail.
2. run keychain first aid.
3. manually enter the passwords in keychain
4. use disk utility to repair all permissions
None of the above remedies have worked for me.
With some trial and error, I've discovered that setting Access Control for the two Keychain items (imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com) to "Allow all applications" (rather than the default "Confirm before allowing" with "Mail" as the listed application) does work.
So it appears that Keychain allows Mail to store the passwords but then does not allow Mail access to retrieve the stored passwords once Mail is restarted when "Confirm before allowing" is set.
Although now I have a "Work-around", does anyone have an idea of what's broken and how to fix it? Thanks.

OK. I tried the "Keychain Reset" and it did not work. The reset created a blank keychain file. I entered the mail passwords after starting Mail.app, then quit Mail. When I restarted Mail.app, it prompted again for the previously entered password. No change.
The clue to the problem is the current "work around". If I set "Allow All Applications" the Keychain allows Mail.app to use the stored passwords. Of course this defeats part of the security.

System Preferences is asking for user password three times (?)

System Preferences>Startup Disk requires the user password to unlock the pane (per my security settings), I select my startup choice (my main HD), then upon re-locking the pane I am asked for the password two more times.
?

Then, don't relock the lock, just restart.

I am being asked for my password every time I delete an item, but nothing is going into my trash can. Can this be resolved please?

Every time I delete something I am asked for my password, which is very annoying. The deleted items are no longer going into my trash can, but are completely wiped from my computer!! Is it possible for a non-computer literate everyday user to re instate the trash can to its original function?

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

ITunes asks for my password EVERY time

When I open iTunes it asks for my password at least twice but sometimes 5-6 times every time I open it! Ahhhhhhhh! How can this eb stopped it really is very, very annoying Apple! I pay for Match but I'm beginning to think iTunes is becoming overly complicated and not worth the money......

Okay, I think I got the answer. I went to the Apple store and asked a salesman who pointed me in the direction of another salesman who knows his stuff. I've only done this for a few days, but it seems to be working.
Open itunes and sign out and de-authorize. You must do both.
He reccomended going into keychain access and deleteing the itunes entry. I could not find it, which may have been the problem, more later.
I then rebooted and cleared PRAM for good measure.
Now restart itunes and sign in and authorize.
I did this on Monday night and have not been having the problem, I opened itunes several times and rebooted several times, etc.
Today I checked keychain access and now I see an itunes entry.
I think it is okay now!

ITunes Asks For My Password Every Time It Opens

Running Mac OSX 10.10.1 (Yosemite) and iTunes 12.0.1.26
Every time I open iTunes, it asks me for my password. It asks for it usually four times:
-to enable automatic downloads (twice, not always in succession)
- to enable iTunes Radio
- And to enable downloads
I've asked this before with no success and no solutions.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Like Jassy, this is a relatively new issue. I hate to say it, but it seemed to coincide with my Mavericks update. I doubt it's because of that, specifically, but it was around the same time. I really think it's some kind of Safari/iTunes issue.
I actually don't understand what you mean by an active internet connection being the problem. I'm only on line when my Mac is turned on and (I assume) when I'm on email or browsing the web. I don't have any connections set up when I'm not actively on line. But even so, I don't know wh that would cause me to have to log in to iTunes (four times in rapid succession) every time I clear my browser history.
That seems to be the one thing that causes it though - clearing my Safari History. If I don't clear it, iTunes doesn't require me to log back in. Only when I clear it does iTunes make me do those four log ins.
Hope that helps clarify this. I'm not a real whiz at this.
