Unauthorized changes after turning off

Came back from a trip and turned our iMac back on.  Then I noticed it no longer required me to log in.  Then I checked the recent activity and noted that a System Preference app was listed.
Can anyone tell me what is going on?
Is there mischief a foot ?
If so how can I check it out?

An update.
It appears that I am guilty of not knowing how the iMac is suppose to work.  What I found was that the login feature was bypassed when the computer was first turned on.  Once it sat idle for a while the login appeared again.  I guess there is nothing sinister going on, however I did notice that my Fire Wall had been turned off.  Si I turned it back on and now I am waiting to see what no longer works.

  • Disk permissions changed after switching off FileVault

    Hi,
    I found my disk permissions changed after switching off FileVault, nearly everything belongs to "system" now.
    Can anyone PLEASE tell me what permissions are standard for
    -Desktop
    -Applications
    -System
    -Libary
    ore doesn't it matter anyway ????
    Thanks a lot...

    Assuming you're just talking about the Owner being System then:
    The owner of Desktop should be your user name.
    Applications and System should be System. Since these are not in your Home folder these permissions would have been corrected when you ran Repair Disk Permissions.
    The Library folder depends on which Library folder you are talking about. If it's the Library folder that's in the same folder as System and Applications, then the Owner should be System, as well. Again, if that is not in your Home folder, then the permissions repair would have corrected it.
    If, however, it's the Library that's in your Home folder, then it should have your username as the Owner.
    Filevault only affects things that are in your Home folder so turning it on/off doesn't affect permissions anywhere else.

  • After turning off private browsing Safari crashes immediately upon launch.

    After turning off private browsing Safari crashes immediately upon launch. I tried soft-resetting, and clearing my cookies and cache. I basically launches in private browsing mode and then immediately tries to switch to regular browsing. When the screen changes, it crashes to desktop.
    Any ideas, other than wiping my iPad?
    (I'm using iOS 5, of course, but it is not available under the Operating System dropdown in this forum)

    I'm seeing the same problem, and it was repeatable for me.  iPad (original 3G, 64GB), iOS 5.  (There are now a couple threads with this same problem.)
    Once the crashes start, it would continue to crash every time I tried to bring up Safari.  It crashes just as it finishes showing the tool bars, but before any content is displayed.
    Manually killing the app did not make the problem go away.
    One time, shutting down and restarting the iPad fixed it, but that solution did not work the next time I went in and out of Private browsing.  Also, once the crashing begins, going back into Private browsing did not stop the crashing.
    The last time it got into the crashing condition, I stopped the crashing by turning off the setting to display the Bookmark bar.  Strange!
    I have like 20 Safari crash logs that I hope will get auto-sent to Apple sometime today (I reenabled the send data to Apple option).

  • Efax 7510 still won't work after turning off/on ePrint several times

    I'm trying to send an eFax over and over after turning off and on the ePrint button under the webservices menu but without any success. The message keeps stating that it's not connected to a network. I am 100% sure that it is connected to my wireless network because I check that out and print a copy of the page stating that this printer is connected.
    What could the problem be? Please help!

    Hi daisyforu,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that you are getting an error message about not being connected when you try to enable the web services for your Photosmart 7510.
    The error message you are receiving is indicating that the printer doesn't have an independent connection the internet.  Please set a static ip address and manual DNS servers by following the steps below.
    1)       Please enter the ip address of the printer into the address bar of your browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari, etc). My screen shots below are from Safari but the location of everything is the same regardless of the browser.  This will bring up the embedded web server of the printer.
    2)      Please click on the network tab.  You should see the Network Summary for your printer. Please click on 'Networking' on the left hand side menu.
    3)      Please click on 'Network Address (IP)' on the left hand side menu.
    4)      Please on the radial button beside "Manual IP" then click on "Suggest a Manual IP Address" button. The Manual IP address, Manual Subnet Mask and Manual Default Gateway should populate for you.  Please click on radial button beside "Manual DNS Server".  For the Manual Preferred DNS Server please enter 8.8.8.8 and for the Manual Alternate DNS Server please enter 8.8.4.4.
    5)      Please click on 'Apply'.  If you get a warning message about changing the ip address please click 'OK'.
    6)      Please turn the printer off by the printer's power button.  Please wait a minimum of 15 seconds and then turn the printer back on.
    7)      Please press the ePrint icon in the upper left hand corner of the printer's front panel. This should prompt you to accept the terms of service.  Please choose 'Accept'.
    8)      When prompted about the automatic updates please choose 'Yes'. The printer should now show the HP logo while the printer communicates with the HP servers. The Web Services information sheet should print with the claim code for your printer.
    Now that you have the ePrint feature is turned on before using the Fax feature I would recommend that you customize your ePrint email address.  I have included a document here on how to do that.
    You should now be able to get your eFax setup.  I have included a document for you on how to do this here.

  • My mac mini loses connection with my receiver after turning off the receiver then back on

    My Mac Mini loses connection with my Onkyo receiver NR-609 after turning off the receiver then back on.  The only way to reistablish the connection is to unplug then replug the HDMI cable to the Mac Mini.  There's no effect if I unplug then replug the HDMI to the receiver.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.  I've searched a lot but haven't found much of anything so if this is covered elsewhere I would greatly appreciate a link.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi and thanks.  I don't know about the audio prefs.  When it happens I am not able to see or hear anything from the computer until I un/re-plug the HDMI to the Mini.  I'm not sure it's changing to something else because there's nothing else connected for it to change to.  I could see that perhaps the audio will change to the Mac Mini's internal speaker. 
    I found out last night that if, after I lose the signal,  I use my ipad to play a video on the Mac Mini using the Remote app and home sharing the signal gets righted and I can see/hear the computer again.  It's quite an inconvenient fix though and I wish and hope someone here can help me.

  • Notebook showing network activity after turned off

    Hi, after turn off my notebook HP Probook 4540s with connected ethernet cable and power source, the RJ-45 connector on my notebook still indicates(LED shines) like there is a network transmission in progress. If I disconnects ethernet cable, indication stops. When I reconnect it back, it starts indicating agian. I thought it was by bios settings something like boot on lan, but it doesn't seem so. Is it common for RJ-45 port to indicates even when is computer turned off? Also I have d-link router, maybe is it a d-link setting?
    How to disable network indication when is computer turned off?

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this HERE.

  • Restarting music from last played after turn off!!

    Has anyone been able to figure out how to resume playback of shuffled music after turning off the ipod touch?? When U turn mine off or the battery runs out I have to start the shuffle from the beginning again. Really annoying isn't it?? Are there any fixes or solutions. Also I have downloaded 1.1.3 and it does the same thing.

    Hey sully404847,
    Are you turning the iPod off completely? http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
    Just put the iPod to sleep by tapping the sleep/wake button. Then you can wake it and continue playback. You can also double tap the home button to see iPod playback controls while the iPod is locked.
    This article will show you how-to get the most out of your iPods battery.

  • HT5642 After turning off the notification switches of some apps in notificaton center, there are still notifications. I'm confused. Why?

    After turning off the notification switches of some apps in notificaton center, there are still notifications. I'm confused. Why?

    Just guessing, but I would think, as I look at mine, that it might have to do with when the apps were added to the device. To be honest, identifying this as a bug might not be correct. You are the first person I have seen post something like this, so it must not bother others. You can leave feedback for Apple on the feedback page.

    After a little more searching across various online resources I was able to cure it by holding down the home button and the on/off button for 10 seconds to restart it and it all came back with a clear screen.

  • The browser doesn't start after turning off and turning on the computer

    The browser doesn't start after turning off and turning on the computer. I tried to delete the program entirely (along with personal preferences), create a new account, install a different browser versions. All this did not help. (I have Windows 7.) Help, please! Every day I have to reinstall Firefox!

    Hello Nastena, try a clean re-install, certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you '''remove Firefox program files''' and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    * check also if your antivirus or other security software(firewall, antispyware etc) blocks firefox access.
    thank you

  • Change or turn off comment highlighting

    Is it possible to change or turn off the highlighting behind the comments? The bright yellow is a bit much and I'd like to tone it down a bit. I found where I can change the color of the comment text and other text (Window - Preferences - ColdFusion - Editor Profiles - Editor - Colors), but there doesn't seem to be any setting for the background highlighting.

    Thanks Adam, that bug listing has a comment by Sean Smith that mentions exporting and manually hacking. He also has a blog post URL there, but I didn't follow it as it wasn't an actual link.
    It is pretty easy to find though. I opened the file in Notepad++ and found this line:
    <style background="rgb(255,255,153)" foreground="rgb(128,128,128)" id="WHITESPACE_TAG_COMMENT"/>
    That was based on my having already changed the text color from black to a medium gray. So the foreground is the text color and the background is the highlighting. I simply changed the background rgb values to (235,235,235) for a light gray.
    As a note to anyone else following this discussion, getting the rgb values is pretty easy by going into those preferences and clicking any color as though you are going to modify it. In the Color pop-up, click Define Custom Colors>> and use the spectrum in there to reveal the Red, Green, Blue values you want.
    Save that *.col file and Import it back via the Preferences page.

  • Lost some of contacts after turn off then turn on

    After turn off then turn it on . Some contacts r  gone ; only number r leftovers

    Hello,
    Is it really an iPhone 3G with iOS 5.1? I thought it was no longer supported.
    I had that occurred to me before but I restored it from an existing backup and the problem went away. If you could, you can try and upload your crash logs from ios 5+ and see what is causing the restart.
    If there is nothing to lose (e.g. Data), then you can see if a full restore (e.g. Set it to factor settings)  will help. Below is a link:

    I hope this helps but please feel free to wait for others to input.
