When sending mail "OS X wants to make changes" pop up

This only happens when I send mail using gmail and this occurred after upgrading to Maverick. What nonsense is this?
I've read about and tried all the other password quandaries that have been posted, but I've not seen an answer for this one.
I can't be the only being on the planet that has run into this issue.

What do you have in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items?
Also post your Console log from Applications/Utilities/Console around the time of the last or next event.

I want to bcc myself when sending mail from one account but not another. When I check "automatically bcc myself", it bcc's me from both accounts. Can I set this to work with only one account?

I have two mail accounts on my Mac. I want one account to bcc me when I send emails from that account. I checked "automatically bcc myself" under mail>preferences>composing, but both accounts bcc me when sending mail. Can I set this to only bcc myself from one specific email account? Thanks.

It does not make sense that your ssh does not have a dash capital Y (-Y) option. It is in "man ssh", and my 10.6.6 has the -Y option, and I've had a -Y option since at least Tiger (10.4) days.
My ssh is in /usr/bin/ssh
I'm not very good at X11 issues, so I'm just throwing ideas out there.
Does your broken account have a $HOME/.ssh/config file, and if so, what is in it?
Does the broken account have any $HOME/.x* or $HOME/.X* files that X11 might be reading to configure your X11 behavior differently from the new test account?
$HOME/.Xauthority
$HOME/.Xdefaults-<hostname>
$HOME/.Xresources
$HOME/.ICEauthority
$HOME/.keymap.km
The above are a few names I found looking through "man X"
While I'm thinking about it, I assume that when going to the server, you are using the exact same user account on the server, so that you have a constant at least at that end.
Have you tried trashing your
$HOME/Library/Preferences/org.x.X11.plist
file, to see if that is affecting the broken account?
Again, I am just throwing out ideas to see if anything sticks.

Sending email OSX wants to make changes

Everytime I send an email I get the popup saying OSX wants to make changes. Type an administrator s name and password to allow this. Help!

Sabian, I looked at the suggested link, but don't have experience with OS X to know really how to do this. Since it seems to be the self healing feature, I tried the following and it worked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I found a fix, but it may not be a smart thing... Thoughts are appreciated as I'm not terribly saavy with OS X. I read that this may have something to do with the self heal feature and there were a few posts that talked about editing a SHInit.xml file. What if I just renamed that file? If it broke something, I could always rename it back – or uninstall/reinstall as a last resort.
I right-clicked on the Adobe Acrobat Pro.app and selected "Show Package Contents." In the Contents folder is the MacOS folder and in MacOS is the SHInit.xml file. I copied the file to my desktop and then renamed the file in the MacOS folder to something obvious: ##SHInit.xml.
Now, when I run Adobe Acrobat Pro.app, it loads without requiring a password.
If anyone has any burning reasons as to why and how this is dangerous, I'd be interested in hearing your feedback.
Thanks!

After updating to Mavericks MAIL no longer issues a "whoosh" sound when sending mail. Can I get it back?

If restarting did not resolve the issue, open Mail Preferences and make sure the box next to "Play sounds for other mail actions" is checked.

Textarea problem when sending mail (only Firefox)

When sending mail using textarea item with multiple lines, carriage returns are taken away in resulting mail when sent in Firefox, but not in IE.
To send mail, I call Javascript function that gets textarea value ($v or $x.innerHTML give the same result) and calls then on-demand process that calls in turn APEX_MAIL function.

Thank you, Jari!
"pre" did the trick. Line breaks are OK now.
There is one small inconvenience, though: font becomes Courrier instead of sans-serif type. But this is less disturbing than missing line breaks.

When trying to delete files, I get the following message, 'Finder Wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.'

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!

"smtp error" in webmail when sending mails

Hello,
"smtp error" in webmail when sending mails
why?

With the very little data offered, I can only give a general idea.
"smtp error" usually means that webmail isn't pointed to a smtp server for sending out mails.
Webmail normally (by default) points to the same box it's on for sending mails out. You can change the host and port with configutil.
Some versions of webmail must point to iMS, and other mail servers won't work. Since I have no idea what version you have, I can't tell if this is a problem.
Did it ever work?
What version are you using?

Getting message when trying to clean up items on HD. Finder wants to make changes. Type password to allow."

I recently downloaded yosemite and am trying to put items from my HD into trash. I keep getting a message "Finder wants to make changes. Type password."

That message will appear if you attempt to delete items from Applications, among other reasons. It is there to confirm you know what you're doing.
If that dialog appears when you are attempting to delete items from your Home directory, something is wrong.

I just started getting the error message below - when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this. Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

There should be nothing native to the OS X which would ask for a password
or other information on a restart, unless accompanied by the traditional login
box with your user name.
There are adware or marginal products that could be called malware (bad)
that would impose their presence and some items that could have been
downloaded by accident or through some corrupted free software site; of
those some could ask for and gain permission to go through your Mac
and maybe even run in the background to do other nefarious misdeeds.
You could see if startup in SafeBoot allows you access past that the Completer.
Since I don't have a pile of helpful article links on how to resolve various issues
I'd be looking them up one way or another.
There are some helpful items in the site http://thesafemac.com - see Tech Guides
listed (adware, malware, & performance) plus a link to the adwaremedic page.
Also, Apple support has a helpful page on how to remove adware and other bits:
•Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

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:

Please take these steps if you're prompted for a password when moving items in your home folder to the Trash.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

Dtmail on x86 crashes when sending mail

Hi,
I'm running Solaris 10 on x86 and I'm wondering if there is a fix or a workaround
for dtmail crashing when sending mail. There is an existing bug report for this
filed July 20 2006 (6346618) but I'm unable to view the bug detail since I have
not yet fully decided on a service plan. I've searched around Sunsolve and
google but nothing is coming up. I tried build 45 of Solaris Express and the
same problem is present. Does anyone have any additional information
about this? Is a fix available for serivce plan holders?
Thanks,
Pat

Thank you for looking at the bug. I do have 121488-01 installed; patch dated 12/19/2005. If a fix for this is rolled up into another patch, so far it is not available to me. As of this morning, there are no updates; dtmail still crashes on sending mail.
Searching sunsolve for this returns three bug numbers:
6346618 (dated July 20, 2006)
5091421 (dated November 4, 2005)
1187150 (dated November 16, 1995)
although the 1995 bug is probably unrelated. Looks like my best chance at working around this may be to grab the dtmail binary from Solaris 9. Thanks to all who have looked at this with me so far; I appreciate it.
Regards
Pat
