Why do we have to login twice?

When I go to the OTN site, it automatically recognizes me and logs me on. :)
Then, when I go to forums on the OTN site, it immediately forgets who I am and I have to login. :( I'm on a slow internet connection which makes unnecessary page loads particularly annoying.
What's the point of having a single sign-on if I have to use it multiple times. :)

It's not the forums remembering who you are, it's the OTN website itself - I've noticed the same behaviour, and I've always put it down to the forums being on a separate authentication thingy-wotsit to the rest of the OTN site. Annoying as anything, but I don't think it'll change any time soon *{:-(

  • Why do I have to login twice after sleep mode?

    Until recently I have been able to login one time with a password to get to my desktop. Now I have to login twice and I have no idea why. I am running Yosemite, whatever the newest version is. I'm not too tech savvy, but have checked every setting I can think of to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

    Just to be clear, it's not normal to have to log in twice when FV is on. If you want to try to solve that problem, ask for instructions.

  • Why do some have to click twice on floating audio control to start sound?

    We are finding that for some users, a floating audio control within acrobat reader has to be clicked twice to start the audio.  When the audio button "Play Audio" is clicked, the floating audio control is opened and the play button is activated but the sound does not start on some machines.  The pause button is available to click, indicating the play button has been activated.  No sound occurs, and the progress indicator does not move.  However, if I click the pause button and THEN click the play button, the sound starts and the progress indicator begins to move.  So far Adobe support has not been able to answer this issue.  Has anyone else seen this happen?  Problem seems to happen on about half the computers we have tried it on.  Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or solutions.

    Same thing - have to click twice even though default settings.

  • Why do I have to click twice?

    I'm trying to update the text in a JLabel by clicking a toolbar button. For some reason, I have to double-click or click twice to get it to update. The JLabel is currently part of a class (ClassB) that is constructed in my main application class (ClassA) and placed as a component of a split pane.
    If I strip everything out and just have a button and my ClassB in the contentpane of ClassA, it works fine.
    Can anyone give my an idea as to why this could be happening?
    //Method to update data (ClassB)
         public void updateData() {
         latValue.setText("Help me");
         latDisplay.repaint();
    Thanks

    Off hand I'd say there is a problem in the code you stripped out. Why don't you post some properly formatted code that demonstrates your problem and then maybe someone will be able to help you.

  • Why did I have to pay twice and how do I get refunded?

    Several months ago, I purcahsed the professional version of reader so that I could easily convert PDFs to word.  Then a couple of months ago, my login stopped working to access that functionality.  With an emergency for a client pending, I had to purcahse a subscription to the same exact program to get my functionality back.  Now I am being charged a monthly fee for software I'd already paid for.  This seems absurd, and before i just uninstall the software and start telling clients and counterparties that I cant work with PDfs because Adobe is gouging me, I'd like ot know if this was an error or just a scheme Adobe cooked up to take more of my money.  Any guidance appreciated.

    Ah, ok. I think you confused us by calling it the "Professional version", because there is an entirely separate product called Acrobat Pro.
    Now, there is a special forum for ExportPDF on http://forums.adobe.com/community/exportpdf but that won't reach Adobe staff quickly (or at all), you need to go to the support link on http://exportpdf.adobe.com/ and choose Chat which connects to Adobe staff.
    It may help if you have both receipts ready & printed out, so they can understand why one stopped working and how it let you buy two.

  • FW CS4 - Why do I have to click twice?

    I've been working my way through the Adobe Classroom in a Book for FW CS4, and it keeps telling me to click once, after I start the import process, to place a graphic on what I'm working on. But if I click once, nothing happens. I need to click *twice* to get the graphic to be placed.
    Why is that? Is the book wrong?
    I'm on a Mac Pro, running Leopard 10.5.8.

    Hi there:
    Thanks for the question. On Windows it seems only a single click is needed for the import function to complete itself. On the Mac, it appears you need to click once to bring the canvas "back in focus" before the import can be completed.
    I'll be sure to to make Peachpit aware of the ommission and have it posted on the Updates page at the Peachpit site.

  • Why do I have to click twice?  How can I fix this?

    I am trying to switch to Mac. Easier said than done!
    Anyhow, my complaint is that you must click on a background window (i.e. one that does not have focus) simply to GIVE it focus. My click otherwise does nothing. This is annoying to no end for a long-time Windows user like myself. If I click on a background window, specifically because I want to click a button on that window, then clicking on that button, even while it is in the background, should trigger the button! Yes, it is just a second click once the window has focus to activate the button, but it gets worse!
    Take Firefox for example. Frequently, I will click on a tab to switch to that webpage. But often Firefox does not have focus, usually because I have an IM window off to the side that I have just been using. Often the fact that Firefox has lost focus is not obvious to me. So when I click on the Firefox tab, nothing obvious happens. So I click again to actually select the tab. I use an add-on in Firefox that allows me to close a tab by double-clicking it. I've worked this way for years and it works well for me. So when I click a tab, it does nothing, and then I click again, it actually 1.gives focus to Firefox, and then 2.interprets my second click as the end of a double-click action. It closes my tab! How annoying. Firefox doesn't get the first click, but it gets the second click in the form of a double click. I find that I am slowed down quite a bit by this sort of behavior, because even if I thought it was logical, there is no way to click twice in quick succession in order to mean 1.give the application focus, and 2.click on what's under the cursor, because it gets interpreted as a double click. I find myself purposefully waiting a few seconds after each click to make sure it's not interpreting everything as a double click. I really wish there were a preference to change this behavior. Can anyone help? Thanks...

    Hmmm! Well, you can close, minimize, or resize windows with a single click. Additonally, CMD-click on the title bar reveals its path. Otherwise, that's about it. For the most part, windows in the background are usually mostly covered, so accessing them requires getting their focus and making them the front-most. For switchers, I recommend:

  • Why do I have to login to the itunes store on my computer in order to download apps on my iPad2 now?

    I am not sure what I changed, but now when my Macbook Pro is turned on my iPad 2 will not let me download apps.  It prompts me to login to itunes on my computer in order to download the apps.  Any ideas?

    You should not have to log into the iTunes store on your computer. I don't have to do that and I just tried on both my computer and my iPad to be sure. Try any or all of these things to see if it helps at all. The only exception I can think of would be if you were trying to download apps larger than 20MG via 3G on the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit iTunes on the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit iTunes by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the iTunes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Why is Mountain Lion requiring login twice from sleep?

    I am running Mountain Lion (10.8.2) on an Early 2011 MacBook Pro. I have it set to require a password when left too long or asleep.
    Frequently, after I enter my password and get logged in, it bumps me back to the login page after about 5 seconds. I'm able to work for those few seconds, but then everything goes back to the locked out screen. After I enter my password a second time, it always works. The work I did in those few seconds is still on the screen (new pages, text typed, etc).
    This started happening after the upgrade to 10.8.
    Thanks,
    J

    I've been running into this error as well, no external display, but I'm running an MBP 4,1 17in.
    I've chalked this up to old preferences that weren't properly updated, the screen lock was automatically enabled by mountain lion, wheras prior to install, my 10.7 install did not have this enabled.
    I haven't had a chance to check this with a fresh install yet.

  • Why do I have to pay twice to rent the same movie?

    On my ATV2 system it has now happened several times where I will rent a movie and while it is downloading in the background someone will click around maybe watch a youtube video or some other tv show on our home sharing network. a day or two later when I go to watch my rented show it's not ready to watch. So, I have to start the download over again and I get charged again. What's up with that?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unless you are accidentally starting the movie before someone watches YouTube or whatever, this shouldn't be happening. Are you sure you aren't starting it, are you checking for rentals or trying to rent it again, when you return to watch the movie.
    It is quite normal that you'll need to download it again if someone does something else, but you shouldn't need to pay for it.

  • Why do I have to login every time I use Facebook?

    I am asked to login every time I open Facebook on my iPad. This doesn't occur on my laptop or desktop.

    Firefox isnt even available for the iOS platform, so this question is not related to Firefox.

  • I have to login twice to access a Virtual Desktop in a pooled environment

    I have multiple virtual desktop collections and I've noticed something strange about each collection.  If I try and connect to any of them, I double click on the shortcut and it asks for my username and password.  Then it makes it "estimating
    connection quality" where the box just disappears and the connection is lost.  
    If I load the connection again (click the shortcut, and insert my username and password), I connect fine.  But if I wait awhile the same thing happens again.
    Has anyone seen this before?  I'm not getting anything really out of the logs and I was hoping someone might have ideas/suggestions?

    Hi Jacob,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Have you set any session time limit setting? It might happens that if you have set any session time limit, then you there might be disconnection due to time limit. You can check below GPO setting for session time limit.
    Configure Timeout and Reconnection Settings for Remote Desktop Services Sessions
    When you are connecting with RDP, click on Experience Tab and choose “Detect connection quality automatically” and check the result. Also would like you to suggest to update RDP version to RDP 8.1 for better feature and functionality. 
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • I purchased Too Close from iTunes for $1.29. It' listed in my music but won't play on ipod or computer.  It just skips to the next song.  The forum says just download it again.  But why do I have to pay twice?

    Does iTunes back up its products?  I purchased a song but it does not play on computer or iPod.  All other songs purchased from iTunes play fine.  Forum says download again, but where's my refund?  I never heard of a store that was SO HARD to deal with!

    If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track (and the original file) and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).  See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773, especially unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.
    If you cannot download a second time, contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,
    iTunes Customer Service Contact - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html > Get iTunes support via Express Lane > iTunes > iTunes Store
    Incomplete playback seems to be reported several times a day here.  I don't recall this happening before iTunes 10. I would suggest posting feedback to Apple so they aware of an issue.
