Intel Mac :: Why Are All The Fields (incl. Labels) In The Authorization Dialog Empty
Apr 28, 2012
When special authorization is required, following dialogue pops up:I can type my password and so on. But even the labels are missing, thus it's kind of irritating.

iMac (Intel) & MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
I have been trying to install mpkg files. All the packages use authentication while installing. The system doesnt do anything after authenticating. I have tried it with all the installers. Somehow the screen gets stuck at authenticating. After authenticating, it does nothing. I am not able to add new user accounts as well. The same thing happens with authentication. Each time, it asks for password and then does nothing. I am not even able to unlock the System Preferences.
I have been trying to print out a page of labels using either pages or the address book and have so far failed. I am new to Apple products; I can do it really easily in Word etc.
I'm starting a business that will require the creation and printing of labels for jars and bottles. I'm told that the MAC is the best tool to have for this endeavor but so far I have been unable to locate an app or other software specifically for this purpose.
I've been noticing a dialog box that appears and disappears in a fraction of a second, just enough to annoy me. It happens at random times, and have noticed it while working in various applications. I've checked Console and determined that this is the culprit.
A Yahoo dialog box keeps reappearing on my desktop that is asking for a password. It happens multiple times in a day, and appears regardless of what applications are running. I am unclear on what is initiating this
I am not being able to print address labels from Contacts with the correct salutation, e.g.
Mr & Mrs A Smith Anyroad Anytown etc
All I seem to be able to do is print Adam Smith or A Smith which is fine if he wasn't married to a fireball who would be mightily upset not to be included in the address label particularly at Xmas - neither do I want to print Adam & Fireball Smith ...
how to print multiple return address labels on my new Mac. My computer is state of the art....and I am not....but very willing to learn.... I just bought Office Depots 2/3 in x 1 3/4 in return address labels that has room for 60 labels per sheet and is the same size as the Avery 8195 and 5195. or 3M 3200-Q and 3100-P..

The very first sign of any problem would occur when I would be scrolling down a page and it would stop, then go, then stop, then go.
I ran Verify Disk In Disk Utility and it said that the disk was OK. Then I ran Repair Permissions. It found a couple of things, repaired them and then it said Permissions repaired. I ran Repair Permissions again and it came up clean.
So I restarted and every thing seemed to be OK. I opened Safari, went to one of my favorite sites and was looking through there for a couple of minutes, then suddenly some of the text in the Tool Bar pixelated, and then some of the text in the site that I was on did the same, and then all of the text pixelated. I clicked on and dropped down the menu to Shut Down and all of the text in the menu were pixelated.
I reinstalled Yosemite with no change to the problem. Then I did an erase and reinstall from Time Machine again to no avail. At this point I am thinking that it is a hardware problem, or am I overlooking something.

When printing, all of my old, discarded printers are in the list brought up by the dialog box. They are gray, but still, it's an extensive list. How can I remove them?
I have put a large amount of data into the Trash, including some back-ups. It will not empty now - it calculates the size of the task, shows about 1.9m and then reduces by one of two and stops.
My trash won't empty...each time I try it says sevearl files are in use when they are not open. I have restarted the computer and tried to empty the trash ans still says it is in use. There are many files...possibly picture files. How do I get all the files to empty out?
I am trying to sort my files by date and type. I can sort by Modified Date and File Type. Every time I sort by file type, the files are listed alphabetically within their folder type lists. This is not what I want. I want to see all the .rar files in chronological order
As I recall from Windows, I can sort by Modified Date, then Type, and the files will be listed by type, and then secondarily sorted by Date. Is there a way to do this on the Mac?
Am trying to use Mail (version 3.6 on OS 10.5.8) and when I view a message would like to be able the 'To' and 'Cc' fields without having to use Long Headers or Raw Source options (which I found under the View - Message menu). These give far too much unnecessary information, but I need to be able to easily see who else the message has been sent to. This seems really basic for an email program and I suspect it is really obvious, but I've looked everywhere and on the web with no answers!
One feature I like about NeoOffice is the ability to create user-defined variables (what it calls Fields) and then insert them into the text. If you were writing a contract, for example, one variable could be a name. By inserting a variable several times in a document, you can save time and effort updating the document by simply changing the variable's value and having the several instances in the text updated automatically.
I have 2 aliases from an INtel PC that I deleted from a flash drive. After hitting "empty the trash" I hear the trash epty but the 2 files are still there. When I use "secure empty trash" I get the error message:
The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)
The names of these files remain in the trash but I cannot remove them to the desktop to check permissions. THey show zero Mb file sizes.
I have a new iMac, which came with Lion. I am now using system version 10.7.3.
Everything (as far as I can tell) transferred correctly from my previous computer, by way of Time Machine. Except that Mail does not work at all. I spent a lot of time with Apple tech support, to no avail.
Here are the symptoms: Mail does not show ANY messages or mailboxes -- just a grey, completely empty window -- not even empty folders -- not one folder, not one smart folder, not one message -- everything in the View menu is greyed outI can get all the windows to show up except the main oneif I select "New Viewer Window" in the file menu, Mail crashes and I have to force quitif I select "Message Viewer" in the Window menu, I get the empty grey window.
The first tech support person said everything would work when it was finish indexing. Of course that was not true.
The second had me delete and reinstall the accounts. Then the program spent a lot of time apparently syncing the IMAP accounts, but still nothing in the window.
