Want password function turned off at start up.

Having problem finding help for a simple bit of info. I simply want to turn off the password function so that when I boot up, the enter password window doesn't request for me to enter my password. Simply don't need this security function. Please help!

Didn't work. As you said, I opened the Security pane, clicked the lock to open it, unchecked the box that says "Disable automatic login", clicked on the lock again. Then went to Accounts pane, unlocked the lock, clicked "Login Options". By "specify" your account at the top, I assume you mean click on my name in the top left column which says "My Account" in gray above my name, then has my name, which is NOT gray, then underneath that it says Admin, which is gray? The only thing that changed is now it is asking for my name and password when I start up.

    how can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone setting

    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPad and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • How to turn off the "start-up vibrating"?

    I've just received my 6500slide.very nice handset.
    now my problem with it is like this you know every time the red button is long-pressed,either to switch on or off the handset,it will vibrate for about 0.5second together with the start-up tone. now i turned off the "start-up tone" in "settings->phone",and the music doesn't play now when switching on and off,but still it vibrates~anybody knows how to turn it off too?
    also i'd like to know if there is any way to set the brightness of the screen,or to set how long the screen and keys remain lighting after slided close.it's said to be automatically set,but i feel them a little too much bright~also not so friedly to the battery.
    btw,i have to say that 6500slide's profile is a mess for me.~it seems that you can change the profile sets everywhere in the phone,but none of the changes works

    Simply turn off or turn down your volume before you shutdown the computer and the next time you boot, at will be gone or at least a pleasant noise instead of a vociferious one.
    You can also press the mute key combo just after you press the power button at startup.

  • Cleaned files and apps with "app cleaner" and now MacBook Air turns off during start up. What happens? What can I do? Please help

    Cleaned files and apps with "app cleaner" and now MacBook Air turns off during start up. What happens? What can I do? Please help

    The "app cleaner" managed to do bad things to the file system so that it is unable to boot any longer.
    This is the primary reason I always recommend that any of those so called "cleanup" apps never be used. They do more harm then good.
    Try a safe boot by holding down the shifgr key when you hear the boot chime. Maybe that can fix the damage.
    Let us know what happens.

  • My Macbook Pro turns off during start-up

    About a week ago I started up my mackbook pro and it turned off after about 2 second after the start-up tone... this happened repeatedly. I found by holding down the "ECS" or "SHIFT" on start-up it boots up but then the "Are you sure you want to shut down this computer" window appears repeatedly, even when I click cancel. If I don't click canel within about 2 seconds, the computer turns off anyway.
    I left it for a day or two and then tried starting it up again... it started up fine...??? I updated the OS from Lion to Mavericks as I needed the new version of Keynote.
    Another day or two later... it was tuning itself off again on startup and once booted...???
    Now I am here online trying to find some answers and have reset the PRAM... its still turning off. I left it for about 5 mins while typing this discussion in and it booted OK again and is still running.
    Any suggestions?

    danyog1,
    if it works for you in Safe mode, then that suggests that something that runs at startup in normal mode could be the problem. Download and install EtreCheck, and please open your own discussion and include in your initial post there the output from a run of EtreCheck.

  • T42p vista fn + f3 and fn + f4 functions (turn off screen and sleep) not working correctly

    Hi -- I recently installed windows vista on my T42p.  It works fine except that the fn+f3 and fn+f4 functions do not work as expected.  Before installing the hotkeys driver, the fn+f4 function worked correctly while f3 did not (going to sleep worked, turning the monitor off did not).  I then installed the recommended hotkeys driver.  Now fn+f4 makes the monitor turn off while f3 does nothing ... fn+f4 is supposed to put the laptop to sleep.  On top of this, if i select "sleep" from the start menu, the computer turns the monitor off instead of going to sleep.
    Presumably, the sleep button could still be telling the computer to go to sleep, but the actual operation of going to sleep is now broken?  Just a guess.  Anyways -- anyone know how to resolve this so that fn+f3 turns my monitor off and fn+f4 puts my computer to sleep?

    I've too this problem, but more, my sound mute wasn't worked (for deblock, but it can block it few second before...) 5 days in 5-6 instalation of three version of winxp: winxp ru x64 sp2, winxp es/ru sp3 x32.
    eventually I've found and ran "TPOSDSVC.exe" in instalation directory and it give an opportunity  deblocking the sound volume!!!!!!!!!!!! and I don't need more functions 
    volume levels and brightness adjustment worked well without OSD (before I ran TPOSDSVC.exe) and with OSD.
    and now I don't know worked this bustered sound driver in winxp x64.

  • Can't get through ipod touch 5g password without turning off 'find my iphone'

    hi!
    i have a big problem. so when i was so sick and tired of my sister fooling around with my ipod touch (5g) i changed the password of it. then after a few while, i checked on it then opened it, to find out that the password i entered is incorrect. i started to remember that i changed it. ( swear, i have amnesia when i am angry/****** off) so.. i researched for possible solutions. then i found out that i need to use iTunes so i did. it told me to 'turn off find my iPod touch' which i can't do because my ipod is locked. so, i did some more 'researching' . what it told me to is to go to icloud.com/#find and remove the device etc. etc. and i followed it. BUT for some reasons, i just clicked delete.then remove from account. i thought that it would help it so i went back to iTunes and did the same process but surprisingly, it still tells me to ' turn off find my ipod touch' which i can't do because when i wen't back to icloud.com/#find , i saw a message saying that there's no device registered to my account. i have nothing left to do but to just ask here. btw, iOs 8.1.2 thanks in advanced

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • HT5463 Does the "do not disturbe" function turn off by itself each morning?

    I have turned on the "do not disturbe" function on my iPhone 4 running ios 6.0.  The next day, the feature turns itself off.  Is this normal?  Is there a way to keep the feature turned on until I turn it off?

    Click (or Face):
    Thanks for the response.  I have the Schedule turned on (from 10:00PM to 7:00AM).  It works fine for one night.  The next day I will notice that the Do Not Disturbe feature is now turned off.
    What I want is for the Do Not Disturbe feature to be turned on every night (between 10:00 and 7:00) without me having to turn it on every day.
    Can this be done?  Or do I have to turn it on (through Settings) every day?
    Thanks again.

  • MacBook keeps turning off on start up

    My problems started when I kept getting this Hal.dll error msg on starting up my MacBook pro, which I understand is a windows file since I at one time needed windows XP on my MacBook to run a certain program.
    When I realized I no longer needed Windows, I started (foolishly?) deleting any and all windows files I saw in my applications folder. I Now realize that probably wasnt a good idea. Ever since doing that, i'd get the above error message when I turned my comp on.
    I finally got past this by restarting in safe mode. This worked ONCE, when my ext drive wasn't handy.
    When I tried restarting again in safe mode later at home, the computer now keeps turning itself off !!!
    Now I get the apple icon, the spinning wheel, the status bar slowly filling, and then it all disappears and the screen goes black and the computer turns off.
    I have tried numerous times with power + shift (safe), power + option        (which shows me the mac hd volume, but when I select it will still turn off), power + option+D, and power + shift +s > fsck -fy > reboot  and after all of these attempts the computer still just turns off.
    At this pt I just want to get that desktop back one more time to make sure I have the files I want on my ext drive and move on.
    Anyone out there have any ideas or advice on how to could get past the computer always turning off on me on start up?

    This sounds like the same thing that has been happening to both my Macbook and Macbook Pro. Some others sound like they have similar problems. This is what I posted in the Macbook Pro area regarding the same symptoms. This is discouraging. These computers are expensive and they should have the bugs worked out better than this.

    I wonder if I have similar problems. I have both a Macbook Pro 15" and a Macbook 13"
    1st my macbook started shutting itself off unexpectedly. It got more and more frequent. I have done several fixes including: archive and install, sending it in to have a logic board replaced, downloading an updated disc utility repair, and sending it in to have a power component replaced. Now I will be sending it in for a third time and I think they will replace the Macbook machine if this repair doesn't work.
    Now my Macbook Pro is doing the same thing. I have had it for about 6 months and it was running fine until now. I ran the exact same software on my 12 G-4 powerbook without any problems. One of the computer people at work said it sounds like a power problem. It happens whether it is running AC or on battery power and doesnt seem to matter what I am doing.
    I am waiting for the macbook to be fixed before I address the Macbook Pro because I dont want to have both of my computers in the shop at the same time.
    Any suggestions? This seems totally unacceptable for two new expensive computers.

  • I had to change my apple ID due to someone else using it and changing the password, so now i can't sign out of icloud as the email is wrong and i dont have the password to turn off find my iphone. Help!

    Basically, someone was hacking my apple account for a while and kept changing the password so i kept resetting it, now i've had to change my email as icloud still wouldn't accept my new passwords - even after being updated. Now i can't sign out of icloud due to it being the wrong email and an unknown previous password, as i can't turn off find my phone.ipad. How do i solve this without losing everything as i can't just delete the account and the usb ports on my laptop have gone so i can't back up to my laptop. I'm running completely on icloud but desperately need it to update so i don't lose all my uni work as well off my ipad.

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
