Why does my keychain keep asking for my password every time I access the same web site?

The ClamXav scan found 4 virus/trojan problems and quarantined them. Before I did thid, my keychain keeps popping up asking me if I want to save my password everytime I visit the same web site(s). Is there an issue with this? And how to I fix it?

What were the infection names associated with those four files and where we're they found. That information is in your Scan Log if you didn't record them yourself. Search for the word "FOUND" in upper case.
The keychain activity sounds normal as long as your browser preferences are set to save that information for AutoFill the next time you visit the site.

Since yesterday when I turn on my ipad and go into check my mail it keeps coming up with a box saying the exchange password is inncorrect but it's not been changed since it was set up.

I was tinkering with it last night and found that the mac mini didn't like the frequency that the router was using to communicate. I changed from channel 6 to channel 9 and the problem went away. Perhaps an auto setting would have worked but I'm using and older Linksys router and the auto was not an option.

Why does my computer keep asking to be authorized when i put my iphone on the charger?

Authorization and Deauthorization
See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization for Macs.
See How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld for Windows.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

Why does Intel version always ask for my password when adding loops?

When I add loops to the PPC version, it never asks for my password. I want this behavior on the Intel version. Always asking for my password’s really annoying. Thanks very much. Peace.

Being able to to access, install and change anything on your computer with a simple keystroke is just not a good thing security wise. Maybe you don't download from unknown sources, use a wifi network, use public or work networks, IM, let others use your computer or let OS and software get out of date. But people reading this may not be in your situation. Most password hacking tools will start with single keystrokes and no password will gain access in a fraction of a second.

Exchange password, what is it and why does my phone keep asking for it?

For the last two days, my phone periodically wants me to enter an exchange password. This is the first I ever heard of it so can't figure out what it is.n I though exchange was a Microsoft product so what's it doing on my Apple iPhone. I just upgraded the 3GS phone to iCloud.

make sure you don't have 2 step verification in gmail.
otherwise you need to follow
Signing in using application-specific passwords
The codes that you’ll get with 2-step verification don’t work with all applications. There are a few applications that use information from your Google Account (like the Gmail application on your phone, or Outlook) that require another type of code. These are called application-specific passwords.
Some devices and applications that use these special passwords include:
POP and IMAP email clients such as Outlook, Mail and Thunderbird
Gmail and Google Calendar on smartphones
ActiveSync for Windows Mobile and iPhone
YouTube Mobile on Apple devices
Cloud Print
Installed chat clients such as Google Talk and Adium
3D Warehouse, Sketchup, and installed applications
AdWords Editor
Sync for Google Chrome
Gmail Notifier
How to generate an application-specific password
Unlike a verification code that you receive from your phone or through Google Authenticator, application-specific passwords are generated. You don’t have to memorize them, ever - you simply generate a new one each time you need to sign into a particular application. Follow the steps below to generate your application-specific password:
Visit the Authorizing applications & sites page (pictured below) under your Google Account settings.
Under the Application-specific passwords section, enter a descriptive name for the application (label 1) you want to authorize, such as "AdWords Editor – Desktop," then click “Generate application-specific password" (label 2).
You'll then see the application-specific password you just created (3). You'll also see the name you wrote in for the device (4) and a link to Revoke (5) -- or cancel -- the code.
Once you click Done, you’ll never see that application-specific code again. But don't panic: You can generate a new one whenever you’re prompted for an application-specific password by a non-browser device or application -- even a device or application you’ve authorized before.
Using application-specific passwords
When prompted for a password when you sign in to a non-browser application or device that accesses your Google Account:
Enter your username.
Enter your application-specific password in the password field.
If your application has an option to remember your application-specific password or stay signed in, you can select that option so you won’t have to generate and enter a new application-specific password each time you access your account from this application or device.

Why does app store keep asking for sercurity code

Why does the App Store asks for wrong password

Hi,
I'm travelling a lot between the U.S. and Europe, which causes that I have 2 Apple IDs.
So there are some apps I purchased with my US-Apple-ID, and some apps I purchased with my second apple ID.
If I wanted to update my apps from both accounts it first asked my for the password of my 1st Apple ID, then the one of my second.
This worked fine the past two years.
Now it only asks me for one of them, but still wants to update all of my apps. Finally it says that this app has not been purchased before, but I can purchase it know by tapping "ok". (or something like this). I already bought it. why does it ask for the wrong password of the wrong apple id, I didn't purchase it with?
Here are the steps I already tried:
1. restarting my device
2. Sign off and sign back in with my ID I purchased it with. -> Then tapping "Update All" OR just "Update" at a specific app stills asks me for the password of the wrong ID. (I did this with the appstore app and the settings app->AppStore)
3. sign in with the ID I purchased it with, then search for the specific app and hit "update" (where it usually says "buy", or "free" if not installed yet). It still asks me for the wrong apple id.
4. I'm not syncing my apps with iTunes anymore, just music and my photos. I don't want to sync my apps because I would have to reinstall all my apps again and loose all of it's data.
5. I still can buy new apps with both accounts and then it's still asking for the right ID, I want to purchase it with (the one I'm currently signed in).
6. Deleting the app, then sign in with the right ID, search for the ID and redownload the new version worked, but in this case all my app data is lost.
7. In App Purchases are NOT working, it asks for the right password, but then it's says that I have to buy the app again. ?!?
Do you have any idea, why this happend or why I'm unable to update my own apps?

There is a 15-minute window. After 15 minutes of inactivity, you will again be prompted for the password next time you try to purchase/download something.

My email keeps asking for my password

When I bought my Mac Air, at the beginning of last month, my email address was being hacked into on a near constant basis (This had nothing to do with apple, it was all BT's fault.) Anyway, during those weeks, I had to reset and change my password all the time, also having to change it on my ipad, iphone and obviously my new mac. Since then, everything regarding my email has been sorted and i've had no problems with the account, but the email 'app' on my mac constantly asks for me to verify the password. It never tells me the password is wrong (which it isn't anyway) but everytime I log on to my mac, before I do anything, I get a little pop up that asks me to type in the password for my email, and it does that once or twice throughout my time on my laptop and everytime I log on.
I obviously did something during the time I was trying to fix my bt account but It's frustrating and I don't know how to stop it! Any help would be brilliant!

If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
Step 1
When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
Step 2
Check that the keychain is working.
Step 3
Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

Why does my iMac now ask for a password when trying to create a folder in Finder?

Hi guys
My iMac has started to ask me for my login password when I try and create a new folder using Finder. I concert folders on the desktop and drag to the correct location in Finder and I can also create folders in the tree view of Adobe Bridge both without having to enter a password. Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Give this a try:

Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
From the Utilities menu select Terminal. At the Terminal prompt enter: resetpassword. Press RETURN. When the window opens select your startup drive where it says "Select the volume containing the user account:" At the bottom of the window you will see, "Reset Home folder permissions and ACLs."

Why does firefox beta download ask for adminstrator password but when I put it in, its says wrong password or user name?

whenever I try to download firefox beta on my laptop it asks for an adminstrator password but when i put it in it says wrong user " name or password" so I try to by pass that by trying to download as user but then nothing happens the dialog box disappears and I have to start the download all over again. I'm trying to sync firefox with my android phone but I can't get the desktop/laptop version going.

Since installing Windows 7 there have been some weird goings on with my laptop.
I kept muddling around with this and ran a few diagnostics only to find that everything was fine. There was an incompatibility problem with Windows 7 and Firefox (safe mode) which I cared for by simply agreeing with everything Windows 7 wanted to do. It made an adjustment and apparently between the two programs they worked it out.
I tried downloading Firefox 4 beta one more time...using a fresh download in my Firefox browser and from the Firefox webpage. Oddly, this time the program downloaded saved itself to my laptop. I was able to open and install it without incident.
Now, I am all sync'd up!
Thank you very much for your assistance

Even with MAC addresses entered into Airport Express, my devices keep asking for router password. Basically, MAC filtering on my AirPort Express is not working

I just got a new laptop form work and wanted to add it to my home network. Even though I put in the MAC address, it continue to ask me to put in the router password. Not only that, it started to do that with my other devices within my home network.

With Airport Express setup being relatively quick and easy, I would put the work laptop aside while you reestablish your home network and ensure that your non-work devices operate without having to re-enter Router Passwords. Once that is done, I would turn the work laptop on and see if it discovers the home network. Once you have entered the network password once, look for an option to remember the network. It may be defaulting to your work network on each re-connect.
