Why do I always need to sign in twice?

When I begin the sign in the URL begisn with daw
and my login name is entered [email protected] - and my password appears (as black circles);
when I press enter, the URL begins with appleid
I am then shown a 2nd window that sez I must confirm my login (text appears in red) and the login name is the same as before but without the @mac.com;
all I do is press return and I'm now into the discussions forums.
So why do I have to do this double sign-in every single time?
Annoyance, only, I can always login, but I'm terrified if I ever do anything to screw it up, I'll be hard pressed to make it right agagin.
Thanks for any explanation.

Hello All,
Maybe you have had this issue with other OS X upgrades, but I'm being prompted to log in twice to my MacBook Pro OS X Yosemite (2014 model).
I've upgraded to Yosemite, from Mavericks, without any issues, until I noticed that after turning my computer on and logging in the first time, I see a progress bar load.....then the screen goes black, I hear the restart sound, then the same login screen appears for a second time.
I then enter my credentials a second time, see the progress bar load (a little faster this time), them my desktop appears like normal.
I've read some other, older, posts for older OS X builds but none of them addressed the issue completely.
I've turned OFF filevault, to decrypt my HD, restarted and things seemed okay (1 log in request only). So I turned filevault back on, and the first time I logged in, it worked fine (1 log in request only). However, now, after powering off the computer, I'm back to where I started....2 log in requests before my desktop loads properly.
I don't have the time out setting on "to request password after 60min". I don't have auto login enabled nor parental controls
Filevault is on and my drive is encrypted. No special software loads, just the factory basics...
Any insights or suggestions?

Why do permissions always need repair?

Whenever I go to disk utility and ask it to verify my computer's permissions, it always identifies a series of files where permissions need repair. Why is this?

http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/durepairfns.html#Anchor-The-11481
Repair Disk Permissions often produces messages while it is running. These messages are generally of an informational nature and can usually be ignored. Some of these messages may be repeated every time Repair Disk Permissions is run as the receipt for the object in question is forcing the setting of specific permissions, even if no correction is required. Again, these can also be ignored. Only messages indicating the failure of the Repair Disk Permissions process, or the inability to correct permissions on a specific file or folder, should be of concern.

I still don't understand why the Airport express isn't a option in system preferences/sound. Maybe iTunes is the only one to be able to "package" the music properly to send over AE
To best help you understand, it may be helpful to step back a moment to see how audio is streamed to an AirPort Express.
The following is the basic path the stream takes:
iTunes first uses the QuickTime CODEC to convert an audio file from the iTunes Library to the Apple Lossless format. As you can imagine QuickTime is an integral part of iTunes.
iTunes then "locates" an AirPlay "speaker" (AirPort Express, Apple TV, etc.); negotiates a connection to that speaker, and then, sends the Apple Lossless file (as a digital stream) to the speaker using the AirPlay transport protocol (previously this was called AirTunes). Note: This stream can travel over either a wired or wireless connection.
The AirPlay speaker then decodes the stream, and then, either sends it directly to the optical digital port "untouched," or converts it to an analog stream via a built-in DAC out the analog portion of the same audio port.

Why do i always have to sign into apple support communities

cant it just keep me signed in all the time? i have the username password stored, but everytime i visit i still have to sign in by clicking.

I have a solution that is guaranteed to work - and I'm using it right now.
1Password is a password manager plus that automatically saves all of your sensitive logins and passwords. I use it for forums like this, banking, and other accounts - online and other. The way it works is like this: when you go to a site that requires a password, 1Password will iniitially ask for your Apple password; after this, your passwords can be entered by going to a relevant site, clicking the 1Password icon, and pressing Enter. It saves a ton of time.
If you've slept your machine, it will ask for your login again. But security with 1Password is very good, and it will work with Safari and Firefox.
If this is helpful, poat here with your remarks!

When I try to upgrade and install to iOS 5.1, error message prompt "operation stop running". I have tried several time but failed. Also, would like to know why always need to have wifi access in order to upgrade the version of iPad iOS, why not 3G ?

When I try to upgrade and install to iOS 5.1, error message prompt "operation stop running". I have tried several time but failed. Also, would like to know why always need to have wifi access in order to upgrade the version of iPad iOS, what is the purpose of 3G then? This is really nonsense using wifi + 3G iPad. need help ! Thanks.

The file is too large to download via 3G. There is a 20MB limit with 3G. The purpose of having 3G is that you have internet access everywhere and do not need to be near a WiFi hotspot or network.
Not every single thing that you do every single minute of the day on the iPad involves downloading files larger than 20MB. You can surf the internet all day long sitting out in a park somewhere with 3G - but not with a WiFi only iPad - unless you use a hotspot with it.
Try turning off your firewall and anti virus software while you try to download the iOS update.

Cinematized QT's always need rendering... why?

I experimented with every video output option Cinematize has and even the lowest resolution QT file with no audio requires rendering in my timeline. I have FCP 6, so it asks if I want to switch the timeline to match the clip, but still RED LINE. I've tried every easy setup! and i've customized my sequence settings to my clips... so WHY?!
Here are my clip settings: 29.92, 640x480, DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, pixel aspect = square. Is it the frame size? is it my powerbook? I have an HDV project that processes HDV footage fine... but not this!
I already trashed my preferences and fiddled with the sequence playback...
any help is much appreciated. Thank you
-A-

Cinematized QT's always need rendering... why?
Because your clips are not matching your FCP Sequence settings. If your Sequence settings are DV NTSC, then you need 720x480 (rectangular pixels) with the audio being AIFF, 48khz, 16 bit.

Why does Acrobat prompt me to sign up when I need to export to excel?

Why does Acrobat prompt me to sign up when I need to export to excel?

Hi shirlaowry,
I checked your account (using the same email address that you use here in the forums), and I don't see that you have any subscriptions. If you're using Adobe Reader, you need either an ExportPDF or Adobe PDF Pack subscription to convert a PDF file to Word.
(Acrobat, as opposed to Reader, lets you save directly to Word format, and does not require a separate subscription for that functionality.)
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,
Sara

Why do i need to sign in to my husbands id when i have my own? i am sick of having to place 2 passwords for updates

why do i need to sign in to my husbands id when i have my own? i am sick of having to place 2 passwords for updates

If you are being prompted for the password for his ID when updating apps this indicates that you must have at leas one app on your phone that was purchased with his ID. (Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.) The only way to stop this would be to delete these app(s) from your phone and repurchase them with your ID.

When I try to download any app my phone says I need to sign in to verify and it takes me to a billing screen. Then it always says my security code is wrong, but it's not

MY iPhone won't let me download apps, it says I need to sign in and verify account payment options. Even for a free app and then it says my security code is wrong on my credit card! Ugh!! Help please!

Did you ever get this fixed? I started getting this same message yesterday when changing my card to a debit card that I had used previosuly for years. My last purchase was Saturday morning. Creating a new account results in the same message no matter whar card I try. They must flag accounts by computer ID for this to be happening.
I got a message stating that my problem has been handed to a senior advisor. I hate this wait especialy since I have had my account since 2003.

Do I really need to sign my VSTO Add-in Click Once Manifests?

When I worked on our Excel Add-in project, I remember getting some compiler error or warning in VS 2012 (I don't remember the exact wording or why it manifested) but it was something along the lines of the Click Once Manifests needed to be signed. At the
time I went through the steps of self-signing the Add-in's .dll using a PFK file I generated via VS and then installed on our local Dev machines and the build machine. Further into the project an Installer was eventually created for the Add-In using WiX. Recently
the certificate is saying it's expired. Before we go through the steps of updating the certificate, can someone explain to me if we even need to sign the manifests at all if we're using a custom installer?

Hello jasonlbeal,
In my experience it has been totally worth signing the add-in dll(s) and the msi in my builds.
Anytime I've had a Click Once fail or an Add-in not load it's always because it needed to be signed.
Sometimes it bites me right away and sometimes it's down the line when IT decides to enforce a GPO requiring all add-in's to be trusted.
Not really an explanation of WHY but just sharing my input saying in my travels it's completely worth the headache to maintain a signing cert.
I hope that helps sir.

When i Boot up, why is "Preview" always open ?

Hi, i know i dont need to do it, but when i shut down, i have been making sure that all the Programs i have been using are Shut Down, getting rid of the white dots in the Dock.
I know that Finder is always there and cannot be Shut Down, but i Shut Down "Preview" and it is always opened up again when i Start my Lap Top up again.
I guess it isnt that important to know, but why does PREVIEW always OPEN automatically when i Boot Up ?.

Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on?

Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on? First off they are not even pop ups....your crap blocks everything and don't save user names &/or passwords when you have it checked. Also in your tutorials about solving this issue says it has the word "OPTION" .......no, it never says option to allow you to bypass it and etc. Only thing is says is "ALLOW" . That would be nice , but the problem is it will not allow it from then on. It only allows it right then and then you have to refresh...after that to open again it blocks it again.....HOW STUPID?!!!!!
It always say that this is preventing this page from automatically redirecting to another page. THIS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO...GO TO ANOTHER PAGE........I DON'T NEED YOUr BROWSERS PERMISSION TO DO THAT. THAT IS WHAT A *%#$&*(&*%$$%% BROWSER IS FOR TO GO TO OTHER PAGES......THEY ARE NOT POP UPS!!!!!
YOU STUPID BROWSER ACTUALLY BLOCKS EVERYTHING AND THAT SUX!!!
HELP!!

Quick selection tool always contains minus sign

I am obviously not a very experienced Photoshop user and I have a question about the Quick Selection tool. I am using CS6 on a Mac with OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
I watched a couple tutorials and my system is behaving differently. In the tutorials I watched, when the quick selection tool is chosen the "brush" contains a plus sign. If too much area is selected, that can be corrected by holding the option/alt key and this changes the brush to a minus sign. On my computer, when I select the tool the brush always contains a minus sign. I think the tool is working OK but I wonder why I never see the plus sign inside the brush.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Be sure the tool isn't set to subtract in the options bar. Otherwise, try resetting the tool by right- or control-clicking the blue arrow just to the right of the tool preset (under the blue PS icon in the below screenshot) to reset the tool.
