Why the finder ask password when logged in as an administrator

Hi, I got a new iMac (2015) since a backup time machine of a 2011 iMac that 'death '.  (I know, within a period of one we are likely to see the 2016... refreshed models but I was desperate). Now, every time I make a change to a folder I have to enter my password.  I even deleted the password, but demand still appears. . It's just that, without a real password I can just hit enter.  However, I would like to use a password (even if I'm the only person using the computer) and I would really stop requests the constant "enter password".

Thanks for any help.

#4-post info window opens at the bottom is a padlock (unlock it) and change the privaleges 1 on list (must be your name) 'READ & write' (narrow lock)...

  • 'Upgrade to Windows 8.1 free' application in the store asks me to log on as an administrator - I am already an admin and I can not understand how

    When I go to the Store tile in Windows 8, I was happy to see the "upgrading to Windows 8.1 free". I read about this free update, but it has never been available for me so far.

    However, when I click on download, it gives me an error saying: "you must use an account with administrator privileges. I'm an admin on the machine (for example I can run a command as administrator prompt without giving any creds). So I am confused on how to proceed.

    Any suggestions are appreciated.

  • Why the habit of firefox 4 log in my account automatically?

    There are sites that don't have any important information and I would connect it easily to them
    Firefox remembers my passwords, but I must still go to the Panel in place, and then click
    why he did this now... He has not done this in the previous version

    Use a master password. Then, when you go to a site that requires you to login and you fill in your details, you will get the option 'Remember password' which is pop up (actually a pop-down). If you choose "Yes", then you will be presented with the master password field.

    Enter the password you created for her, and then the next time you access this site, you will get the master password field each time. When you type in and click OK, it will fill in your login information.

    The other way to do this is to use the option of most of the sites have which is something like ' Remember me ' you will need to checkmark. But this option requires you to have cookies enabled permanently.

  • Form 11 g prompts to change the DB schema password when starting.

    Hello

    I am facing a strange behaviour when I start my application form of 11g.

    Forms displays a window asking to enter the user from DB OLD PASSWORD, NEW PASSWORD and CONFIRM the PASSWORD?

    This is a new feature of the forms 11g?

    And how can I disable because end users shouldn't see this kind of messages even if the DB user password expired?

    I have not found anything on Metalink or in the formsweb.cfg on the deactivation of this feature.

    Thanks in advance.

    It is the expected behavior.  Oracle Forms connects to the database using Oracle Net (aka SqlNet) connection classic.  When an expired password is detected, forms react to the messages received by the database, which, in this case, is that the password has expired.  If you don't want to see this behavior, change the settings for database expiry is the password.  You might be able to write your own code to login WE could check for every time that this form then begins under the hood, do something, but generally the behavior you see is what I expected.

  • Why the sound is different when the project is exported?

    Hi all. It's me again. Because you are always so useful, I need your help with another problem. I just finished a wedding, publishing and towards the end of the ceremony, the sound is fine when you work in Final Cut, but when I export, the game becomes heavy and distorted. Any suggestions on why this is happening and what to do? I've never had this happen before. It is a client, and to do here tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Thanks for your help!

    We have seen that this several times here on the forum but it's never happened to me. I believe that the proposed solution was to remove the shape clip your scenario and replace it form the browser; Make sure that the audio in the browser reference file is good before do you. You can export a range of test history.

    You can also try to delete the files of the project.

    It may take a few hours more for fans to offer other suggestions.

  • Why the printer stop printing when you click Cancel?

    This may belong in the Technet forum, but this is a question that concerns me since the days of Windows 95.

    Sometimes striking impression make you you screwed up in a certain way and to cancel the print job. Enter the printer, right click on the document and hit Cancel usually takes some time, during which the printer keeps printing and waste of ink & paper.
    Why is this? Why doesn't it stop immediately? Why do several PAGES for it to stop? Come to think of it, I can't think of a time casual since I left high school (which uses Mac and Apple printers) when I have not tried to stop a print job to a printer that was not Hewlett-Packard (an HP printer from ""), so I'm not sure if it is exclusive to HP or not. Work used to stop printing almost immediately after order - Macintosh printing, or at least they did with printers ImageWriter and LaswerWriter Mac OS 6.0.8 - 9.1.
    This is not the case with Windows 95 - Windows 7.

    I used to assume it had something to do with the buffer memory of the printer, but a recent incident involving someone accidentally unplugging the computer when the printer was on changed this long assumption based on my experience when I bought a buffer for my printer ImageWriter II return to 1989 or 1990. Printing stopped almost immediately after the computer that it was connected to the lost power (he tried to disconnect a faulty device so that it could be shipped to the manufacturer and pulled the wrong plug).

    This phenomenon embarrassing occurs on several different computers, printers and configurations. School computer laboratories on the areas of small business workgroups to systems of the House with the directly connected printer.

    Hi, SlickRCBD,

    The memory has a lot to do with why this does not block when cancelled.  There may be an older doc who is was filed here.  Unplug the printer from the computer periodically.  Leave that he unplugged for several minutes (5 max), then reconnect.  Remove the cables that connect to the back of the printer for the same amount of time.  This clears the memory.

    Open elevated command prompt

    Enter Net Stop Spooler

    Wait message spooler stopped

    Go to your windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\ folder

    Search for files ending with. SPL and. SHD created around the time that you were trying to print - delete these files.

    Return to the command prompt window

    Type Net Start Spooler

    You will see message spooler has begun

    Output

    Sometimes the files are hungup.  The above gets rid of them.

  • How can I get the error "Unable to start the service" on attempts to run administrative tools (including the Services application) when logged in as an administrator?

    A large number of menu selections is affected, including the 'computer management', 'Event Viewer', 'Services' and 'System Configuration'.
     
    I tried to clean a computer that was thus invaded by unwanted applications and the services that it was unusable.  I applied several sets of Windows updates until it has been fairly stable, then lightened through the Services application services, changing many services 'automatic' to 'enabled' or 'disabled '.  I suspect that some service necessary for the performance of the foregoing has been inadvertently stopped.  (None that he was '' strongly recommended '' or '' recommended '' do not turn off or the description seemed to make a requirement, but...)  I don't know how to confirm this theory, identify the missing service or reactivate a service without the Services application.

    I got lucky.  I called a local, independent computer store.  Their support staff (after confirming that I had an appropriate Windows license) told me that if the computer came with a disk for Installation of Windows Vista, there is probably a partition to start installation on the hard disk, I could get to with a special touch at the beginning of the start-up phase of the BIOS.  It flashed by so quickly that I missed my chance, so I put off the power while trying to boot Windows.  On my next attempt, I missed again (even if I managed to spot the key combination - F11).  But when he arrived at the start-up phase of Windows, he offered me a chance to run the system restore which was banned when I was logged in with an administrator account.  I had to go back a ways, but I found one who would start and was able to complete cleaning of the machine and make it to a usable state.
     
    Thanks to all who responded.
     
    Oh, and it seems (according to my conversation with the service of the local computer store) that my fatal mistake was by disabling the service allowing you to promote its own security.  Apparently an administrator account is not the rights needed to perform most administrative functions without it; If disabling the service gets you into a nearly unrecoverable state.  A hint of that in the description of the service, or even a total ban on deactivation, would be a good idea.
