Windows 8 ask for password - I don't want to enter it

When my laptop starts it shows my email address and asks for my password. I do not want to enter a password . How do I get rid of this because my wife would like to use the computer

Press *Windows key + R*
Now RUN dialog would open.
Here you have to type command: +control userpasswords2+
When the User Accounts applet opens, select the account you wish to automatically login and uncheck the box: +Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.+
Then click Apply

Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

Trying to buy, download a song and keeps asking for password over and over, even after entering correctly. Why?, trying to buy, download a song and keeps asking for password over and over, even after entering correctly. Why?

Trying to buy, download songs on iTunes and keeps asking for password for the account. Entering the password correctly but it keeps asking for password. Have downloaded hundreds of songs before, first time this has happend. Why?
Thanks.

Hi, Trex8.
There are a couple things that you can try to resolve this issue. First, I would recommend processing any updates needed to the computer and iTunes. You can check for updates in iTunes by selecting the help menu and check for updates. If iTunes is on the current version, see the article below.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Make sure to test the results after each troubleshooting step processed.

Terminal Window asking for password when opening

I don't know what happens but everytime I open a terminal window its ask me for password. If I type my admin password it starts saying that can't found my ~ directory and starts in :/ instead of :~
It is also showing ttys001 instead of 000 as usual.
I don't know what it is, I think it have some relation with closing terminal windows without logging out of a ssh section, but I don't know how to resolve it. I tried reboot, "exit", delete com.apple.terminal
Any sugestion?

This is just a wild guess, but might there be a "sudo" command in a file in your home directory that's run when you launch a Terminal session, such as .bash_profile, .bash_login, or .profile? (This list assumes that you're using bash as your shell.)

Weird Pop-up window asking for password.

I have an iPhone 3gs (I know, I know...I'll upgrade soon!) and lately a window pops up (constantly) that asks for my password for a Yahoo account that I don't recognize...am I being "hacked"? - or at least is someone trying?
Kind of freaking me out.

Hi...here's what the pop-up says...
Password Required
Enter the password for the CalDAV
account "Yahoo!"
I have no idea what CalDav means...or what it's for....I have no association with CalDAV - I can't seem to get rid of it. I have looked under all my settings and can't find anything with this name....

Download stops after run window asks for password or to run as current user.

when I try ro download Firefox the download stops after it asks to continue as the administater or current user. I do not remember my password so I try to continue as the current user and the program just disappears.

if you save the download of firefox to your computer and then right click and say "Run as Adminstrator" it should work...i was having the same problem and it worked for me.

Trying to update iphone 4s to ios 8. Install failed for "unknown reasons". Trying to restore I phone from I tunes, asked for password to complete restore. I enter ITunes password and then iphone lock password and neither is accepted. What password is required?

I think the password it asked is the one that you used to encrypt iPhone backup.

HT204053 A different ID appears in the window asking for pass word ,when I am updating free soft ware from app store. I have an apple I'd an able to sign in apple support, app store ,

I have an apple ID & able to acess apple login & support centre. Un able to update from app store, a different apple I'd appears in a window asking for password when updating, how can I correct this problem

If a different Apple ID displays when you try to update your app, that would indicate that the original app was purchased using another account. You cannot update apps that belong to somebody else.

Office 2011 is the current boxed version for the Mac. The two versions are Home and Business. The difference (besides price) is that the Business version includes Outlook. Both contain Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
Actually, the Home version also has Outlook hidden on the disk. If you decided later you want to use Outlook, you can call Microsoft for an unlock code to install it from the Home version disk. The unlock cost is essentially the difference between the Home and Business versions.
You mentioned Office 2013, but that's the current Windows version. MS hasn't really stated one way or another if there will be a feature comparable boxed Mac version. If there is, it looks like we won't see it until sometime in 2014. To get the current functionality of Office 2013 in a Mac product, you'd have to purchase the subscription based Office 365.
It does depend on your needs. Often, Office must be used for true compatibility with people you work, or collaborate with. It also has many features the free alternatives don't offer, and can't import or replicate. Otherwise, as Gary noted, Open Office is a good free choice.

Outlook 2007 and 2010 on Windows XP keeps asking for password

I have a fresh installation of Exchange 2013 installed on Windows 2012 and the problem is that Outlook 2007 and 2010 which is installed on Windows XP keeps asking for password.
The problem occurs only on Windows XP while on Windows 7 is working fine.
Any help will be appreciated!

Hello
I had similar issue in my environment -Exchange 2010 SP2 UR4-v2 ,DAG 2 MBX servers(MBX1 and MBX2) in production site ,2 CAS in production site ,17 mail box databases , Public folder replicated to all the mailbox servers.
strangely users using outlook 2003 and outlook 2007 were being prompted for user name passwords.
investigations were done as follows
1. test connection status -click on the outlook icon in the lower right of the users desktop.clicked on test connection status ..
2. found that the username was being prompted while attempting to connect to the public folder in MBX1 server.
3. using EMC on the exchange server, changed databases pointing to public folder in MBX1 to public folder in MBX2. This solved the issue for us.however we were not sure of what the exact issue was ..was it public folder corruption in MBX1? .we found
that the users were being prompted for username and password only in outlook 2007 and not in OWA or outlook 2010. this made us rule out possibility of Public folder corruption in MBX1 server.
4.raised a case with microsoft to do a RCA (root cause analysis) . The resolution from them was to change the exchange RPC service on MBX1 from "network service" to "local account" and switch back to "network service".
The reason stated by microsoft is "password cache corruption" .Any ways the problem was solved at the server level.
Hope this helps all of you who have been scratching your head over this issue

IPhone 6Plus on every reboot after putting in my password it opens to a small window asking for apple id password

everything works on phone and wow it's big compared to my iPhone 5s. went with space grey since i have had 3 white phones in a row. restored via iCloud backup. updated iTunes as i have about 3,000 songs. 250 bought the rest ripped to AAC from my cc's....what a pain but switched from my windows desktop to this new rMBP late 2013 for xmas and iTunes is slightly different on a mac than windows and where everything is stored on drive.
anyhow problem is every time i reboot after putting in my password and arriving at whatever page i left at i get a very small window asking for my Apple id password. Now the top half is pre filled in with the email address i use for iCloud/itunes/apple/etc.
i did see in settings there is a checkmark i cannot remove that says for apple password "ask immediately" there are no other choices. it can't be unchecked by any method i found.
any help appreciated.

In case anyone else gets this I hit cancel once and it has never come back.

You aren't going to be able to delete it without the correct password. If it's your ID, you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If it isn't your ID, you will have to get the password for the person who owns the ID. There's no way around this and no one else can help.

Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If that works post back for further advice.
Next step, if safe mode did not work.
First: Try a clean install, (you have had a none standard version installed previously) that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
See
* this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Second: try a New Profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
* this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
**[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default
