What settings do I change so I don't have to login every time I boot?

I just got a new imac and whenever I reboot, I am being prompted to enter my password.  I've never had this with any of my other macs.  How do I turn this setting off?  I just want to boot or reboot and not have to login.
Thanks,

Click on the apple in the top left corner
click on system preferences
click on accounts
click on login options
there will be an automatic login option to the right of the list of accounts
change that from disabled to your name

  • How do I add Firefox to my docking station so I don't have to open every time I click on the icon?

    Firefox 3.6 was on my docking station on my mac all this time. When I saw the pop up for Firefox 4 and its features, I downloaded v.4 this morning but when I try to open the browser, I always have to go through the same step of "opening" the newer version rather having the browser open automatically.

    Hi JoAnn,
    After you opened the download, you should see a small window with a blue background showing a Firefox 4 icon and an "Applications" icon.
    Quit out of all versions of Firefox, then find that window and drag the Firefox icon into the Applications icon. (This moves the new version into your Applications folder).
    Once that's done, then clicking the icon on your Dock should launch the new version from the Applications folder.
    Hope that helps,
    --Jono Xia, Mozilla

  • Is there any way to save a wifi network so that you don't have to join every time you open your mac?

    I was wondering if there was a way to save a wifi network to your macbook so that when I open it everytime I dont have to connect it everytime.

    It should remember your networks by default, but in case that option is turned off, go to System Preferences - Network - click Wifi on the left - click Advanced - and tick "Remember networks this computer has joined".
    If that is already ticked, your network settings may be corrupt and it may help to create a new location - in the Location menu at the top of the Networks screen, click Edit Locations, add a new named location and try again with the wifi connection.

    I bought a TV episode from iTunes (I have version 10 installed), but when I try to play it on my laptop, it keeps stopping and starting, with the voices out of sync with the action.  The action is stop/start as well., and occasionally it skips 5 or 10 seconds altogether, making it impossible to watch.  What settings can I change to fix the problem.

    Repair your QuickTime.
    Control Panel > Programs n Features > highlight QuickTime and click CHANGE then REPAIR.

    Are you sharing your apple id? You can check if your email is included within the message settings in "settings >> messages >> send and receive" and remove it from that list on the other phones.

  • After resetting my backbook pro to factory settings, it freezes every time it boots up. What's the problem?

    After resetting my backbook pro to factory settings, it freezes every time it boots up. What's the problem?

    by the way, you can also try to safe boot up your mac for safe mode. maybe it can work and you can deal with problem there.
    for safe boot:
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).

  • HT1689 Can i use debit card as a payment method on app store..if not,what else?? in case i don''t have credit card...please help

    Can i use debit card as a payment method on app store..if not,what else?? in case i don''t have credit card...please help

    I don't think that debit cards are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined. You could try contacting iTunes support but I don't think that you will be able to use it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If you don't have a credit card then are iTunes gift cards available in your country ? They are not available in all countries and they are country-specific (they can only be used in their country of issue), so you won't be able to use those from another country.

    Hello Natethemate,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with changing the country for the iTunes Store on your iPhone.  For this issue, I recommend signing out and back into the iTunes Store on your iPhone:
    Sign in with a different Apple ID
    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
    Tap your Apple ID.
    If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
    Tap Sign Out.
    Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Sign In.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311
    If the issue persists after signing out and back in, I recommend quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.

    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes Store app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

    System Preferences->BlueTooth and turn it off. Restart and see if that fixes the problem.

    Thank you any help would be help full as every time I log into Face Book for example I have to provide all the Information and this is a pain
    Cheers Alex

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • Need to re-apply Airport Extreme settings every time i boot up..

    Hi,
    Apologies if this has been dealt with a million times - couldn't figure out an easy way to search for it...
    I am successfully routing cable internet via ethernet to the WAN port of my Airport Express, and from their via the ethernet LAN port to my Mac Pro. I'm using the Airport to also get internet to my iphone and laptop. Everything works. Only problem is, every time I boot up my Mac Pro, there is no internet. I have to go into Airport Utility, alter any parameter, then alter it back, so that I can then press "apply". After a few seconds, everything kicks in, and I'm good to go..
    Anyone know why?
    thanks!
    Malcolm

    OK, so for anyone who might have a similar problem from now to eternity - my gift to you, the solution....
    I had my 2 airports set up as a WDS. I had mistakenly had the airport Extreme (the one that sends the hardwired internet to the Mac PRo) set up as "WDS remote" and the Express, which receives wireless internet, set up as "WDS main". Flip those 2 settings, and everything seems to boot up fine now.

  • HT201365 Now that I have upgraded to iOS 7, how can I make it so that I don't need a password every time I use my iPad?

    Now that I have upgraded to iOS 7, how can I make it so that I don't need a password every time I use my iPad?

    In v6 airport utility "Join a wireless network" is not available once the TC is setup.
    You must reset to factory and try again using the selection options.. and it can fail or not come up.. This is an extremely poor way to setup a TC.. and you should NEVER EVER DO IT.. that is why apple removed it. Since you are joining wireless it makes no difference where the TC is located.. since it would become a dumb AP and turn off its ethernet ports.
    Place it right next to your main modem router, plug in by ethernet, and select bridge mode and create a wireless network. Never use Join a wireless network..
    However for completeness here is the method.
    How do I setup my time capsule with wireless internet?
    Never ever do it.
    If you need internet by wireless and backup to the TC.. then simply plug the TC directly into the Mac.
    Run dual network.. Setup explained here.
    Using Time Capsule hardwired to Mac for back-up only.

  • What settings do I change so that Dreamweaver does not force me to use version control?

    I don't know what setting I have changed - I have worked in my site and ftp'd to my server for the past week. Something changed today.
    There is a red X next to Version Control in the Site Setup for X Site dialog box.
    In Files view, in the Remote Repository pane, there's a link to define version control settings.
    I don't have subversion, nor do I have a need. I just want to see my files on the remote server. Get/Push work. However, there is no server tree view. Tips?

    Hi AcronymCity, Same happened to me, around the time you posted in Dec (DW vs 5.5)
    I got my server files back by
    1- In preferences (cmd-U) - > site -> Dependant files  -> UNchecking "prompt on get / check out"
    2- In preferences (cmd-U) - > site -> Dependant files  -> UNchecking "prompt on put / check in"
    3- Further down same dialogue - > check save files before putting
    4- Then to "files" window. -> I then manipulated the "repositories" button, which was resisiting being unpressed before, to unpressed (toolbar on "files" window)
    This got rid of the "repository files" request and I booked the sites in with the server in the usual way via the Manage sites/Edit dialogue. All previous ftp server data re-inputted.
    Now, whether this is what did it or whether it was something else, I dunno, (I used the blessed CyberDuck in the meantime). Hope this works for you if you haven't solved it some other way ... nosada1592
