Ever 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?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
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 Replies View RelatedI 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 this icon behind the Application icon on the dock and I cannot figure out what it is. It is not something on the desktop as I have moved the dock and can't see it, so it is definitely connected with the Application icon. I have deleted all downloads which could have been half done and I have removed an Alias I had in the Application folder. Now all the Applications appears as "Applications" in the "Kind" column when viewing in Finder.Â

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.
these options in the Security Preferences screen.Â
Firewall. Does the average person need this activated? Â
Firevault. Is this necessary for all? Â
I don't have the Missing Manual for Mavericks yet. So I often look up topics in the MM for Lion. He mentions something on page 510 about "closing the backdoor" so hackers can't 'Ping" an idle or sleeping computer. The Security Preferences in Mavericks don't seem to address this. Has the new OS got built-in security for this. Wiping an HD clean, installing fresh OS and then restoring preferences from a TImeMachine backup.Â
my HD that DiskWarrior detected. From the error messages, I erase the HD and install a new system. would it be save to Restore my old Network and Kechains and System Preferences from my TM backup?

I configured my MacBook Air to request a password after the screen turns on in "Security And Privacy". But then I realised that can change this option without unlocking the padlock. Here is a screen picture. I think is a very important security problem.Â

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 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.

We know how to make a new folder, and then change its icon by going into the Get Info panel, and dragging an object on the desktop into that upper section. Â
When we do this with a jpeg, what happens is that the icon of the new folder becomes the default icon for a jpeg. Is there any way to change the folder icon into the thumbnail of that specific jpeg?
With Mavericks, is it possible to have the Mac drive icon appear on the desktop?

Since today, my wifi stopped working. Basically the menu icon in the top crashes if I click there, and that causes the entire menu to crash. The only way to get the entire menu back is to type in terminal: killall SystemUIServerÂ
I tried:
- restarting computer
- resetting SMC
- deleting System Preferences
- resetting DNS cache
- repair disk permissionsÂ
The only thing that I did recently was:
- install latest Mysql Server (yesterday)
- mac OS updates (last week)

Since upgrading to Maverick 10.9.3 my Photoshop Layer Style icon (.asl files) has disappeared and there is only a generic white piece of paper instead.
The other icons for Actions and Brushes are there so I'm wondering why the .asl icon is not appearing.

I just installed MS Office 2011 on my MacBook Pro (with Mavericks). But when I open a Word or Excel window, it does not have the two arrows icon on the top right corner that every application has (the icon to open the windows on a new desktop like a kind of "full screen" mode. I dont know the name of the icon). I have already installed the updates, but the icon does not appear.Â

In the above picture, you can see that the time machine menu bar icon is "grey" instead of "black".Â
It seems that backups occur as normal (when I click on the icon, and choose "Backup now", it seems to backup).
When I click "Enter Time machine", everything seems to work as normal. I can see the latest backup that I made by clicking on "Backup now".Â
- I have two external hard drives that I use for time machine backups.
- I use OSX 10.9.3
- Macbook Pro 6,2 Inter Core i7 2.8Ghz, 8GB Ram, 500GB HDD,Â
I have tried:
- Disconnecting both the external hard drives and reconnecting.
- Restarting my Mac.Â
Why is the icon grey
Added picture
I was normally using my Mac, as usual, when it suddenly crashed. The screen froze up and this icon showed up in the middle...A few minute later, it was still there so I had to force restart my mac. But when it started again, the image of a flashing folder with a question mark appeared. I googled a bit what it could mean, and I quickly found it was something about directory corruption. I tried to open the disk utility as advised to check if the disk was damaged, however it said the disk was alright, and it didn't give me the option to repair it. Â So now I'm stuck in the disk utility, and my only options are:
- Use time machine (I didn't save my data using it so useless)
- Reinstall OS X (Deleting all my content - exactly what I want to avoid)
- Repair the Disk (Which I can't even do)Â
So my main question is, is there a way I can get back all my files/data before reinstalling OSX? Are there other ways to repair what is broken without resetting my whole comp? Is it even possible that your mac crashes at any moment, making you lose EVERYTHING for no reason? Â
