OS X V10.7 Lion ::Apple Forum Sign In P/W Does Not Paste
Mar 25, 2012
Is there some security phenomenon that will not allow me to copy and paste my PW into the slot/space for Password, when I try and signin to Apple forums. The allocated space where I would normally paste my PW does not show anything being pasted,, and I have also used Paste in the menu area , and even tried dragging my PW into this area, to no avail. Of course, I can type it in manually,, however, my PW is strong,, and generated, and find it very arduous to type in.Perhaps a 10.7 feature?
Tried to email myself that at work/home via copy/paste from the web page directly into Apple Mail, got funky error. Tried sending to various email, same error message.
(found via the connection doctor)
I use Yahoo as my server, seems Yahoo is blocking the outgoing message because it has a link to my Google Picasa web hosting site?
I just noticed when I went to log in to the Apple Support Forum to post for the first time that the login page does not display the lock for it's security credentials in the upper right corner of Safari. Is this potentially an issue given that it asks for your AppleID that is used for iTunes? The webpage url starts with "https://" but it does not display the lock.
This is what I have so far: tell application "Google Chrome" view source of active tab of window 1 -- Or whichever tab you want delay 3 repeat while loading of active tab of window 1 delay 3 end repeat select all of active tab of window 1 -- Must always be the active tab copy selection of active tab of window 1 delay 3 -- delete tab (active tab index of window 1) of window 1end tell-delay 1tell application "TextMate-1.5.9" activate open paste end tell paste is not working.
When I started my Macbook up, after the gray screen with the apple sign, a stop sign appeared on the screen and I couldnt use my laptop as normal. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?
When I turn on my MacBook pro I get a pop up saying that I need to restart my computer and turn it back on and every time I turn it back on it says the same thing
Every time I restart I have to sign in to apple id for every app! Since upgrading to Mavericks, every time I restart my MacBook (Mid 2010) or open any Apple software i.e. iTunes etc, I'm prompted (3 or 4 times per application) to sign in to my AppleID account.
I then get a prompt for all other Apple software i.e. iBooks, Mail, iPhoto & iMessage etc etc regardless of which app I initially opened. This results in inputting my AppleID upto 20-30 times for every restart. I thought the problem might rectify when I upgraded to Yosemite but it still happens.
I've tried running Onyx and clearing all the caches etc, SMART status checked, HDD no errors...I have reset my Apple ID and used it to sign in via Macbook, iPhone etc.MacBook (Mid 2010) Yosemite 10.10.1

I've just bought a new iMac. Was very surprised, when I saw, that I can't write my Apple ID on the welcome screen. I can type letters, but when I try to write the "@" symbol, it just makes a loud short sound.
Info: iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4), Can't type my Apple ID
I want to change my Apple ID email to my iCloud adress, the @me.com. But appearantly that is not possible yet. Is it just me or is there a way to do this? Or do I just have to wait until they realize and fix it?
I'm unable to log into my iCloud console on my mac (OSX Lion 10.7.4) - its giving error: 'unrecognized apple ID or password' and You can't sign in at this time'. Incredibly though, I can log into my iPhone, the iCloud's website and iTunes as well, using the same apple ID. I would like to keep my Mac, iPhone and iPad in sync with the iCloud system.
Does Apple Mail have ability to paste boiler plate text? In MS Office Windows I used to setup many boiler plate texts that I would access through keyboard shortcuts, such as Control H for "Please don't hesitate to contact me." Can Mail do a similar thing?
the screen it got stuck on was white, gray apple sign spinning circle thing
and i left it there for more then half an hour with no progress. I did a hard shut off, and waited for about an hour and tried again. This time i waited for an hour, and still no progress. what should i do?

my 2006 macbook has not been able to start. First it didn't even have the chime, then I read through some threads in this forum and figured out that one of my RAMs was not properly put in. I fixed that, now I get the chime, the apple sign, and a spinning wheel and I am stuck there forever.
I tried:
resetting PRAM, didn't help.
start from safe boot, still stuck with apple sign and spinning wheel.
boot from installation CD by holding either the "C" or "D" key, it would not start from the CD.
Curiously, I can start it in Windows and I am using Windows right now. Some threads said that it could be a hard drive problem, but if I am using Windows, does it mean that my hard drive is fine?
I've already spent 800+ fixing the logic board in 2008 b/c of a water spill and really don't want to spend any meaningful amount of money to fix this 1000 bucks or so laptop. If any hardware is in jeopardy, I'd rather just throw it away. However, I would like to at least be able to start it in Mac OS once so that I can back up my documents.
I'm selling my old iMac and while cleaning the hard drive it froze. I forced shut down and when I turned it back on a circle with a diagonal came up initially, followed by flashes of that, a question mark and the apple symbol. Now it won't get past the grey screen and the flashing symbols.
It appears that I'm unable to sign-in to the App Store. The place is well found under the apple sign and in the dashboard and both respond well to all demands except for the 'sign-in'. None of my other 5 Apple computers render this problem. The actual computer is a MacPro4,1, Quad-Core Intel xeon, 16 Gb Memory and Boot ROM version MP41.0081.808. All software inclusive OS X 10.7.3 811D50d) is actual and up to date.
