Why my mac needs password everytime that i do something on finder?

why??

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • New iPad 3 will not charge from a mac. need help on that

    my new ipad 3 will not charge from a mac. need help why if any one knows? thk

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
    Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at Apple: iPad Battery Nothing to Get Charged Up About

  • Why PC Suite needs start everytime Windows starts?

    Hi,
    I would like to see an option somewhere where I switch Nokia PC Suite off so that if wont't start each time that laptop boots. I only need it time to time, so I doesn't need to start up each and every time I reboot my computer.

    You can disable PCsuite autostart by doing the following.

  • Need a driver that I am unable to find :(

    ) hey guys for some reason when I got my computer back from the shop, instead of having a Sound Blaster dri've, it had a realtek dri've.... and of course the sound wasnt working... but I have a sound blaster card. Audigy 2. and the model is SBO240 and i cant seem to find the right driver for it. I downloaded the ZS (or Z5 i dont know) and it didnt work... but it was the only one I could find... can someone please send me a link to one that would work?

    Arcreamer,?
    I am afraid you need to check with the shop to ask about your Sound Blaster dri've. As for the driver what happened when you try to install it, are you getting some kind of error message?

  • I downloaded a ringtone from Itunes and apple owned company to my Iphone4 and then followed all the instructions sent to itunes on pc and synced back to iphone still got squat. Why does apple need to be so hard for something so simple.

    I downloaded a ringtone from itunes (an apple company) to my iphone4 (an Apple product). Followed all the instructions from "Help" boards, sent to itunes on my pc converted to m4r synced back to iphone and still got squat. I thought iphones and apple were supposed to be so user friendly? Any other phone you download a ringtone click on it "use as ringtone" and your done.

    Frank, thanks for your note.  I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it.  Too much to ask?
    And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first.  [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.]  That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
    Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so.  As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely.  You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
    Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
    So, ... is this result something you have heard of before?  Do you know of a one-step solution?  Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?

  • HT1338 How do I retrieve my Mac OS password? Without that I am not able to upgrade from OS x 10.6.8 to higher versionsto

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have the Snow Leopard DVD, read "Resetting your original administrator account password" > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
    Then, check that your computer is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs. If it's supported, open the App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. Make a backup of your files and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    When the download finishes, the OS X Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow the steps. After upgrading, open System Preferences > iCloud, and set it up, so you will be able to use iCloud on the computer

  • Why do I need to reconnect after sleep with WEP enabled?

    I have a MacBook and an old iMac. I enabled WEP and closed network on my Snow Airport but now every time the iMac goes to sleep and wakes up, I have to reenter the WEP key to connect to the Airport. This does not seem to be a problem on the MacBook. I put the iMac in my 5 year old son's room so he is too little to reenter the password everytime, that means I have to do it. That just doesn't seem right. Shouldn't the password remain active and logged in to the Airport even through sleep? Is there another setting I have to change? For now, I just disabled WEP but I am concerned about the lack of security. Thanks for any help or advice.
    Oh, I configured the AirPort on the iMac because I could not get the AirPort Admin Utility to work on my MacBook. I just read a previous post and found the solution to that but have not tried configuring the Airport from the MacBook to see if that makes a difference. Need to go to work now. Thanks for any advice
    Thom

    Try the following on the iMac, if you use Preferred Networks:
    1. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    o Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
    2. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    o Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    o Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    o Restart, or log out then back in.
    3. Add Preferred Network(s)
    o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    o Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    o Restart or log out then back in.

  • How do I turn off the requirement to enter my password everytime I want to delete a file in Finder?

    How do I turn off the requirement to enter my password everytime I delete a file in finder?

    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 in Finder (or just 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 by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • Why do I have to enter my password everytime I open iTunes?

    Why do I have to enter my password everytime I open iTunes?
    The only time I don't have this issue is if I open up iTunes within a few hours of signing in. If more than 10+ hours, I have to sign in with my password.
    I can't see an area in the preference panel where I can bypass this step.
    It makes sense if I'm in the iTunes store and purchasing a song, but not if I simply want to listen to an existing playlist.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Actually, the only thng that will do is set the frequency of requiring the password once it has been entered the first time. The default (I think) if restrictions are NOT turned on is fifteen minutes. Regardless of this settings, the AppleID password will need to be entered at least once (more if there is a substantial amount of time between purchases.

  • TS3276 I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails to people in my address book. Hotmail advised me to change my password for that account, which I did. Why won't mail recognise the new password?

    I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails from my address book. Hotmail advised me to delete all contacts and change the password for that account, which I did on my laptop running windows XP. The change was successful and I was able to send and receive emails with no problem. I then had to change the account password on my iPhone 4s, which I did and it too was successful but when I came to change the password on my iMac, running the latest version of Lion it would not recognise the new password. I have tried to remove the account details and re-install but every time I go to add new account my old details are in the box. This is very frustrating as I use my iMac for all my profects and I need to access my email. Please help.

    hi guys,
    I had already deleted all reference to the hotmail account in question from the keychain access app, I have also tried to delete and re-instal the account details from within mail. The icon in the side bar dissapears but when I go to Add Account, the old account details are in the new account box. I then input my new password but am told that the server does not recognise it. If I access hotmail via google on the iMac I can get into my account with no problems. I am thinking there must be some other form of security system within the mac software that is blocking the new password. This is driving me nuts. I have been trying to resolve this for the last two days. Thank you for your advise anyway.

  • Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud?

    Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud? I don't have iCloud on my MacBook Pro and only intend to use the mini to check e-mail and use Garage Band and Photo Booth for song writing when traveling . . .

    Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
    In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
    When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
    You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
    Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
    High regards to everybody

  • How do you get password on old .mac account that has been changed? For some reason my iphone updates wants old mac acct password.  Can I change that to new one I've had for years?

    Years and years ago when I paid for an email address with mac.com I opened my itunes account and all.  After getting tired of paying for an email account I made a new one, which I can't remember but I thought I changed it, but obviously the .mac stayed on.  My itunes is a gmail account and I have no problems there.  But today when I updated my iphone, after downloading, iphone asked me to enter password for the .mac account.  Well I have no idea what that is now.  I don't know how to even retrieve it.  I can't find the settings to change it over to my gmail account either on my phone.  I go to itunes and it has the gmail account listed, but when trying to activate some things that involved the update, it still asks for .mac account password.  I'm beginning to think this is why I can't get authorization on some of my itune songs to play, they keep saying can't authorize when I am still within the 5 computer limit.  I think I'm going to get a Droid...

    its very specific.
    If you are seeing the old Apple ID with regard to this Mac, then it would seem that somehow you have incorporated the ID in the setup of this new Mac.
    Iphoto i use never used imovie.
    If you began using iPhoto without having Accepted it into your Apple ID, then that would explain why you are unable to update the app. If any of the iLife apps are used without Accepting them into your Apple ID, the ability to accept them will lapse and you will not be able to update them.
