Why won't my Mac lock when I shut it down?
I have recently found out that my Mac won't lock after I shut it down. And if I leave it in sleep mode, all I have to do to bypass the password screen is just restart it. What can I do to fix this?
Make sure "Automatic login" is selected "Off" under Users & Groups > Login Options.
Is this option selected?

Why won't my Mac Pro load things without locking up ?
Why won't my Mac Pro load things or let me do a "save as" without locking up ? I have tried to run the Apple Hardware Test and it locks up as well.
you have anitebook in forum for 65lbs towers
youneed to repair your disk directory or erase and restore
and use Recovery Mode in 10.7 and later
AHT does not lick up, not unless your laptop RAM or mobo has failed totally and died, more common for laptops that overheat, sufferwater damage, but still...
depends on how new what to do, might try macbookmpro forum. -
Why won't my Mac Lion recognize Kindle device?
why won't my Mac Lion recognize Kindle device? I want to use files on my Kindle but when I plug in the Kindle USB to the MacBook Pro's port, the computer won't show it or recognize it.
Annoying same with my Android Samsung devices which will when I am in Windows.

Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?
Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?
I've just completed a 140 minute project in FCP. I've encoded an MPEG2 file that is 5.75GB in size. Brought into DVDSP and am trying to burn the DVD.
I have Final Cut Studio 1, latest updates and everything.
Because of the 5.75GB size I need to burn to Dual Layer DVD. I have Verbatim 4x 8.56GB dual layer DVDs.
When I click buld/burn and pop in a dual layer DVD I get an error saying "please insert compatible disc".
Even with every app closed. If I put one of these DVDs in my Mac it simply spits it out after about 20 seconds.
For some reason the Mac won't handle or understand these Dual Layer DVDs.
I bought this Mac Pro about 4 months ago and it is the 2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon machine and the DVD drive (according to system profiler) is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D. In system profiler it says "Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D"
Can anyone tell me if this DVD player is actually capable of dual layer, or do I need to buy one.
In System Profiler under Revision it says: AB09 and under Protocol it says: ATAPI
Can anyone advise please?If you have access to a pc into which you can install the 112, or if you have bootcamp, you can replace the Apple supplied firmware with Pioneer firmware. This should restore full functionality to the drive. The latest Pioneer firmware for the drive is version 1.21 and can be found here: http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Firmware/SingleModel.aspx?DriveId=1426

Why won't my screen turn when the phone does?
why won't my screen turn when the phone does?
Not all apps support screen rotation. The Home screens do not rotate. But also check to make sure you have not locked screen rotation. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and check that rotation lock is not on.

Why won't iPad video open when emailed to Windows desktop?
Hey there Ray_J,
I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19595
If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden -

Why won't my background rotate when The IPAD turns anymore?
You posted this in the iPhone forum. Check in Control Center (swipe up from the home screen) and see if the rotation lock is turned on there (an icon of a lock with a circled arrow).

Why won't my MAC recognize a DVD with JPG...HELP!!!
I have received 3 different DVD's from this photographer in an effort for me to be able to view my pictures. None of them work!! She has now given me a cd and it works fine!?!!? Why won't my Mac recognize the DVDs??
A friend of mine turns out a lot of DVD's for and organization that he does photo work for and he has found
that burning DVD + or - can make a diferance along with the age of the player and he has gone back to
burning them at the slowest speed possible. (people in the organization sends him old pictures that he fixes
then burnes a DVD for them and returnes the pictures and DVD.)

Why won't my mac internal microphone work?
Why won't my mac internal microphone work?
I just found and removed a small piece of sticky tape which was covering the mic. The mic is on the top surface of a mac - you can only just see a lighter coloured small round circle in line with the camera on the top narrow surface. My problem was sorted despite all other help and just before I gave up. Check no-one has posted a sticky message, camera cover or even an ornament over your mic. How many folk know where the mic is?

Why won't my Mac with Mt Lion update my calendar and address book through iCloud
Why won't my Mac w Mt Lion update mt Calendar and Address book through the Icloud?
Are you really still running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) as shown in your profile? If so, that's why. Full use of iCloud needs at least Lion 10.7.2 or Mountain Lion.
If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion and forgot to update your profile, here are some things to check:
Is it on a network?
Is it signed into iCloud? The same iCloud Account?
Are Contacts and "Calendars & Reminders" checked in the iCloud and same account's "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" panels of System Preferences?
Are you looking at the correct accounts in Calendar and Contacts? -
Why won't my Mac Pro go to sleep?
Why won't my Mac Pro go to sleep?
Hi X,
I've been having the same problem of mac pro not going to sleep. I think its to do with some universal audio drivers installed with a recent hardware interface I've added.
the terminal app in response to above line reads;
com.uaudio.driver.UAD2System(6.3.1)
com.uaudio.driver.UAFWAudio(4.0.0
com.digidesign.iokit.DigiDal(9.0.6f4)
com.paceap.kext.pacesupport.snowleopard(5.8)
launch agents (in user)
com.adobe.ARM.202f4087f2bbde52e3ac2df389f53a4f123223c9cc56a8fd83a6f7ae.plist
com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist
com.apple.FolderActions.folders.plist
com.google.keystone.agent.plist
launch agents and daemons - too many to list
any idea from this or would you need to see all the files you listed in Mona Gorillas query?
appreciate your input
