unable to unlock the padlock to make changes;Â it will not allow me to enter my passcode...it just "flutters" when clicking on the padlock icon....
View 4 RepliesEver since I upgraded to OS X 10.9.4, I do not see the padlock security icon on the screen when I am going to purchase something. Am I missing something very obvious or is there a way to make sure that the icon is visible?

Time machine failed in progress as my hard drive failed. I have an "in progress" file on my external harddrive that is about 160 GB. I would like to try and load this back onto a new harddrive. Migration assistant is not responsive nor does Time Machine recognize the external drive when connected.

Sometimes, after downloading an app from the Mac App Store, the progress bar keeps saying it's almost downloaded but not finished. The only workaround I know is restarting the computer.  The icon remains this way:

Clicking any icon on toolbar removes that element. This suggests the toolbar is in an edit mode. Only a restart will reset toolbar. Running snow leopard. All updates added To OS.

This happens when I'm using something other than email or Word, for example, Excel or the internet. When I want to go back to my email, I will click on the email icon on the dock, but instead of popping up my email, one of my open Word docs will appear. Then I click on the email icon again, and the right thing comes up. Â
I've run software update and I'm not sure what else to do. It's making me nuts. Sometimes, I might be using Safari and have just taken a screen snap or copied a link and I want to flip over to my email to send it to someone or whatever, and it shows me a paper I'm writing for school or something instead. It's dumb but annoying. Â

Using BootPicker in a dual boot computer lab. Can't use autologon. In 10.6 users could click on "student" icon to log in without being prompted for a password. Is there a way to get rid of the password prompt on the log on screen for accounts that do not need to enter a password?

Double clicking an icon in my Desktop no longer enables it to open to give the pertinent information available on the icon or folder.Have been unable to figure out what to do to remedy the problem. Did try shutting down computer, but that was ineffective.
What does the padlock on the lower left of a file's thumbnail really mean when viewing the contents of a folder?
I assumed it meant the file was locked, but some files I lock do not show the padlock.
I have a folder of jpg files. All are owned by me and when I click the "Locked" check box in the Get Info dialogue box only a couple of files will show a padlock.
Trying to reinstall osx maverick. It says it's downloading . It also says your computer will restart automatically, but I have not seen any progress or the bar moving at the bottom for a half an hour? It is connected to the internet, but nothing seems to be happening . Is this normal?

My 24 inch iMac is not getting pass the apple logo. It acts like it's loading, but then the little progress spinner (not sure of the name) stops spinning after 2-3 minutes. It never wants to get pass that. I'm running the latest version of Lion.

So far I've tried using disc utility on my snow leopard disc....it doesn't load. I've tried to start in safe mode...it loads about half way and stops. Oddly enough windows xp works in bootcamp. It runs okay besides when I try to move windows. I'm guessing it's the graphics card. No idea really. Here is a video I made to show you what I mean: [URL]. I've also tried installing a new 1TB HD and it still won't boot from a disc for some reason. I tried install snow leopard through the internal superdrive and with an external superdrive. No dice.

ive searched for hours and i cant find anything. macbook pro lion 10.7.3 tried to install some software but everytime i pressed install, nothing happened. i done so many things to solve that but no joy at all. so i thought maybe i need to make a new admin account. i tried to open the lock on my admin account and nothing happened. i know the passowrds and user name to be correct. so i decided to create a new admin account and the same has happened. i just dont understand why apple dont seem to have this solved yet. doing a system install is not really an option for me as i know this must be a lion problemÂ

I noticed that System Preferences, App Store no longer shows a padlock at the lower left hand corner, yet other System Preference windows show the padlock. Why is that? Is there a way to restore the padlock? I have already tried "repairing" my install and the padlock did not come back.

I have a Mac Book Air running 10.7.3. The Sharing Folder under system preferences is frozen. The padlock is unlocked. How do I unfreeze the sharing folder so that I can click on any item in this folder? The sharing folder freezes every time I open it - so you cannot select anything in the sharing folder.

Mac and only my mouse responds, I can not type anything and the keyboard gives me 2 green flashes every 3 seconds. I restart and reset PRAM and hope its fixed. thanks to auto login I am on my desktop but still can not type anything and getting 2 green flashes, I remove the keyboard from BT list and try setting it up again, now I it starts asking me for the passcode. My iMac came with the wireless keyboard so I have no idea what the passcode is, and I get pop-up after pop-up asking me for the passcode. Is there anyway to reset the keyboard itself or enter in a generic passcode?

It looks like individual files can be protected with a password or passcode. However, I wanted to know if there's a way to protect an entire folder with a password or passcode. Thus, one would not be able to access any files within that folder without the password (or passcode). Is that possible?

Just purchased my first iMac last week and yesterday I noticed a clicking sound when I turn it on. Is this normal?
Info:
iMac, iOS 5.1
I recently replaced my internal hard drive in my 20" iMac and it worked beautifully for about a week.Then, suddenly it started making a horrible clicking noise upon startup or when waking up from sleep.It goes on for about 10 minutes and then eventually tapers off and quiets down.But it happens every time I start up the computer or when I wake it up after it's been asleep for a while.I don't seem to be having any other problems with the functionality of the computer.Everything is accessible and working OK on the computer.I am just worried because many years back when I had a PC the internal hard drive failed after I heard a similar clicking noise, although it's been going on for a few weeks on my Mac without worsening, and my PC hard drive failed within a couple of days of the start of the clicking.
Is it possible that this is a fan or some other internal mechanism that possibly got jarred or moved slightly when I replaced the hard drive?Or a bad hard drive?I don't really want to open up the computer all over again but at this point, I suppose I have to.I am just not sure what to look for when I do.urls...

I've bought my iMac in December 2011 and everything was functionating just fine untill 1 month ago. My iMac started to make clicking sounds for around 5-10 seconds, the interval between these sounds is usually half an hour to one hour. I personally think that it comes from the right side (the one with the CD/DVD entrance). I'd like to know what it causing this, how I can get this fixed and if it could be harmful to my iMac. I'll contact some premium resellers tomorrow and ask if they know what I can do about it. Â

I may have found a solution for all the people out there who upgraded their hd's to a 7200rpm and have the clicking noise. Apple released a firmware update for the 7200rpm drives that shipped with the uMBP. You can get the file from here.I don't know if this will fix only the hd's shipped with the MBP or any 7200rpm drive but its worth a try.PS: Also i ask that anyone who tries this please report back on your results.
