OS X V10.7 Lion :: Activate "keychain> Protect Screen" Via Hotkey?
Apr 23, 2012
If I go into keychain>settings>show in menu bar there is a little lock in the menu bar. First option is "protect screen" which is what I need really often in my day. So how to activate that option via hotkey? I tried several times but I could not manage to do that. Active corners with the screen saver dos not work because it feels to slow.I want to press a button and be done.Going into standby takes to long to reactivate... so the described option seems the right one.Â
Info:
iMac & MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

This question will probably make me look like a total noob. But I can't find info on the Apple website. I've purchased Apple Care from a third party seller. Now I got the code emailed, without instructions. How do I activate this protection plan?

My battery is charged - in fact, I always have it plugged in. Regularly, I cannot activate my screen, even though the LED light is on. Only works if I switch power off, and back on. Computer is three months old.

a hotkey to detect new displays? I plug my Powerbook into my TV often and don't want the little Detect Display icon in my menu bar. It would be much easier just to use a hotkey, or even if I could set up a shortcut to do it.

In the MacBook Air I have a hotkey on top of the keyboard (F7, F8, F9) they worked until I installed VLC-player.
Now I removed VLC, and I want to restore the hotkey in ITunes.

I see there are a few apps such as cockpit and keyboard maestro that handle global hotkeys, however I would like to figure out a free solution. I have quicksilver but the mail plugin hardly cuts it for effectiveness and functionality. Basically I'd like to just have a hotkey (any available function keys after F12 for instance), that when I push it, it opens up a "New Mail" message for OSX Mail, without having to go to mail, hitting new, typing out message then hiding mail (it pops up along with new mail). I do a lot of programming and design and it would be great to do this as I send out like 50 emails a day.

I am getting absolutely tired of writing my own email dozens of times per day.There must be some way I can type my address once and then, each time I need to insert it I need only type a combination of a very small number of keys.

I have just one file folder on my laptop with sensitive data that needs to be encrypted, can I do that with file vault? If so, how? and if not, any 3rd party app for that? I have 1 password but that won't cut it.

I'm sure this is a very basic question, but having just made the Mac switch a week ago...I am lost. when I did a forum search, I found out how to access keychains, but I'm not sure if I found something particular to my question- please forgive me if I overlooked something.
I was downloading microsoft software last night and all of a sudden I began getting these little pop-ups that say "A keychain cannot be found for safari" with the option to cancel or reset to default.
how can I fix this so it doesn't happen?

Safari keeps giving me popup windows saying a keychain can't be found. It's only just started doing this but it's really annoying. Could it have anything to do with the fact I installed a new flash player? That's the only difference I can think of.Also on another computer it keeps asking for a password to access the keychain. It only does this on one user account though. Any assistance is gladly accepted!

I've never used OSX before about a week ago, but I am picking up on it well (I've used GNU/Linux for almost ten years so I know my way around an operating system). But I don't really think keychain access is working as it should...It's hard to explain. I mean, the way I understand it, shouldn't it be saving the passwords I type into Safari and auto-filling them? Because it only auto-fills some passwords. Paypal autofills, but my bank's website doesn't, and even this forum doesn't autofill. I have to type in my password every time I visit.
Is this working as intended? Is there a way I can get Safari or Keychain to fill in all passwords for me automatically? This is leopard on an iMac G5 iSight model. I did a fresh install like a week ago. Sorry if my question is vague but that's the best I can do with the amount I understand.

I have Keychain's status displayed on the menu bar with its lock icon. When I select Lock Screen it shuts off my display. I don't want that. I want it to go straight to the screen saver when I select Lock Screen.

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?
