Trying to change account type in MAIL to allow POP3 to connect to my Yahoo?
Can anyone help me with this mail feature...
I am trying to add my yahoo mail account to the MAIL option/ feature on my MAC, and it is not letting me without signing up to Yahoo Plus account.
However, I have found this site:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/bizmail/pop/pop-03.html
and
http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/tips/mail-settings.html
Which states you can enter it through POP3 account type.
I have tried this By going to MAIl> PREFERENCES> ADD ACCOUNT.
then when I add in account type from the drop down menu it only has POP available and NOT POP3 option like it states in that web site to use.
And when I try to add the account I get this message:
Logging in to mail server “plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com” failed. This server may require an additional fee for Yahoo! POP access. For more information, visit Yahoo! Mail Plus. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.
So I have tried to continue and just add the outgoing and ingoing info that the site stated and I still can't get it to work. I think the main problem is getting the POP changed to POP3?
How do I do this. So I can use my yahoo account on the MAIL feature.
Is there a new updated MAIL feature? I have the MAIl Version 4.1 (1076)?
Does this only let you use Yahoo Plus mail? I don't want to upgrade since it charges you a fee to have this e-mail account.
Any information?

So at the previously mentioned web-site: It stated
Yahoo! Mail Settings
Yahoo Mail offers standard POP3 access for receiving emails incoming through your Yahoo mailbox, by using your favorite email client software. To setup your email client for working with your Yahoo account, you need to select the POP3 protocol and use the following mail server settings:
Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110)
Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25)
POP Yahoo! Mail Plus email server settings
Yahoo Plus Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Yahoo Plus Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 465, use authentication)
The top one--- I thought is for regular Yahoo mail and the other is for Yahoo Plus mail?
SO this is not correct there are not 2 different servers? The only way to get it is by signing up through Yahoo Plus? Wow I thought there was a different way.
thanks~

HOW TO CHANGE ACCOUNT TYPE IN YOUR EMAIL FROM IMAP TO POP
You can't. You need to create a new account in Mail.
Note, when setting up a new account (after clicking the '+' in the Accounts proeference), enter an invalid email address or option click the Continue button to be given the choice of account type (POP or IMAP). -

I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.7.4 on my iMac and am suddenly unable to simply move files to the trash.
Instead, I get the following message: 'Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.'
When I do enter my password, the file does not enter the Trash but seems to disappear.
I tried to find ways to revert to previous settings that allowed me to move files to the trash, but had trouble doing so.
How can I get my iMac to run normally?
Cheers! -
I loaded Mac OS X v10.7 Lion yesterday. Everything’s running fine, except for a simple problem. Any time I want to copy a file, JPEG, etc., I am prompted “Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.” I don’t want this!! Is there a way to unlock “Finder” or rid this process?
Back up all data.
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. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
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:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then 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. -
Website Blocker wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.
Every time my MAC Pro starts up there is the pop-up window "Website Blocker wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
I'm running Yosemite, but the problem also existed in Maverick. This happens even before any application is started.
If I type my password the window closes but will appear again at the next start up.
Did anybody see this problem before?I have exactly the same problem. It keeps asking for the admin password whenever I delete a file. Annoying! And guess what , after typing in the PW and deleting the file, the trash can is still empty! The deleted files just disappeared!!
So I checked my permissions, everything looked fine (i have perfect read and write rights), but i still used the Disk Utility to repair the permission, but it didn't solve the problem.
I read some article online, saying that BatChmod can crack it. I downloaded the file and tried it, well, it worked 50%, I now see the deleted files sitting in the trash can, but I still have to type in PW to delete files.....
This problem just came up today out of the blue, I'm not using any mobile disk or network disk by the way...
So anyone have any idea how to fix this annoying thingy?
Thanks in advance!

Desktop to Trash Problem: "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
Suddenly today I get a dialog box stating "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this," whenever I attempt to drag a file from the desktop into the Trash on the dock. How can I stop this and return to a normal function of dragging desktop files into the trash? Thanks in advance.
Back up all data now.

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.

"Adobe Acrobat Pro [or whatever] wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
No doubt this is the wrong forum for this question, but there really does not appear to be "the" appropriate forum.
Every time I open Adobe Acrobat Pro, which I just installed, as well as other Adobe products, such as Photoshop, which I've used for a while, a dialog appears with the message, "Adobe Acrobat Pro [or whatever] wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
I searched in the forums here and saw that other users have had similar problems, but didn't find a solution. It obviously is annoying to have to enter my password every time I open Adobe products. Could someone tell me what is going on and how I can fix it?
My OS is Mac Lion.
Thank you.Do you have Acrobat 9?
If yes, please try following steps:
1. Repair your current Acrobat installation
a. Launch Acrobat
b. Go to Help->Repair Acrobat Installation
c. Check all the components and press Continue
Missing components will be repaired
2. Now, update your Acrobat.
Go to Help->Check for updates
Update your Acrobat to latest version i.e. 952
3. Again , Launch Acrobat. Acrobat would ask credentials for the first time.
4. Quit Acrobat and launch Acorbat again. Acrobat should not ask for credentials now and for all subsequent launches . Please reply if you see a different behavior. -
Have mac book pro, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I get this after start up: "Completer wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this" (which I have not entered. When I cancel, there is some unknown "installer" icon on my desktop. If I move it to the trash, this all just starts over on the next time it is restarted. Have screenshots, but for some reason I can not attach to this message right now. Heard this is malware...HELP!
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -
Not sure this is from Apple. When I restart I get the following message:
Completer wants to make changes.
Type your password to allow this.Check the links below for options to remove the Adware

When I right-click on a file to "Move to Trash", I get the following message:
"Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
It then deletes the file bypassing the Trash basket.Maybe this will help:

I frequently receive a notice from Mail that it 'can't connect' to my Yahoo account despite the fact that I am able to receive mail from that account. It appears with the name of my Yahoo account, my password (coded), and the choice to 'cancel' or 'ok'. If I click either, the banner goes away but comes back soon. I can open Mail and see that all accounts are online. I get the banner SEVERAL time during a session - very annoying!
I have several accounts, but this only happens with Yahoo and sometimes Hotmail. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this Mail issue?
Thanks.I have 5 IMAP and 1 POP (Hotmail).
The Yahoo is IMAP. -

I am trying to transfer files from my old pc to my new mac. When I go to migration assistant, and hit the continue button on the introductory screen, I get a message that says M Asst wants to make changes - type your password to allow this. What is my password or how do I set one up for this?
When you set up your Mac you had to enter a admin password to set up your user account.
If you did not enter one then try using the "blank window" as your password. ie Just hit return with nothing entered.
If that does not work try this reference:
