ITunes For Mac :: Creating A Recurring Login Prompt?
Sep 11, 2014
when I try to sign in on the iTunes Store page, (inputting my password correctly, with no incorrect password written in red anywhere) iTunes just gives me another prompt to sign in, then another and another. I have tried reinstalling. What can I do?
iTunes Ver. 11.4 64bit
Info:
iMac, 14,3 21.5, 16GB DDR3 256GB,, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), i7 4770s 3.1GHz Quad
Am I the only person who has issues with this sometimes refusing the show the login prompt when it wakes up, leaving you with a black screen? The system is still responsive, but all you can do is move the mouse, since there is no dialog. Does this ever happen to anyone else? Also is there any way to clear it aside from power-cycling the machine, and doing "killall loginwindow"?
First of all, how do I get my password hint to show up from the screensaver login/password prompt? I have my password and hint set up so that only people close to me will be able to figure it out in case they ever need to use my laptop, however at the moment the hint doesn't even show up. Also, I'm aware that you can change the text to the login page for user accounts, but is there any way to change the text for the screensaver login prompt? If so, where would I find it in "Library"?
I am able to access my Windows 7 machine's shares on my Mac (Lion 10.7.3) through SMB with no problems at all. However, I am unable to access my Mac's shares on my Windows machine.
I have been fighting with this issue for hours and haven't found a solution yet. I've done a bunch of Googling and have found plenty of posts related to my issue, but no solutions. Everyone seems to be at least receiving a login prompt when they try to connect to a Mac OS X Lion Samba share from a Windows 7 machine, but I am not. All I get is "Windows cannot connect to \MAC" after ~15-20 seconds of waiting.
Here's what I've tried:Reconfigured all of my settings on both the Windows and Mac systems, then restarted. Windows: set to 40- and 56-bit encryption for File Sharing, instead of 128-bit.Windows: network discovery and file sharing enabled.Windows: Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level to Send NTMLv2 response only” to “Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session if negotiated as suggested in another post.Windows: verified workgroup as WORKGROUP.Windows: verified Windows Firewall options for File Sharing.Windows: cleared credentials for my Mac's share in the Credential Manager, still no login prompt.Windows: reinserted my Mac's credentials in Credential Manager for the share, same issue. Mac: Enabled File Sharing, enabled SMB, enabled my Mac's account.Mac: verified Firewall settings for File Sharing.Mac: verified workgroup as WORKGROUP in WINS/NETBIOS configuration. For both systems: verified IP configuration as DHCP under the same gateway and subnet mask--they're clearly under the same network.
I want to stop using updated Mac OS X 10.5.8 (I think it happens in 10.7.4 too IIRC)'s Flurry screen saver and just let Mac OS X 10.5.8 blank/sleep its screen to save energy, not make Macs (Mac Mini, MacBook Pro, etc.) hot especially in the heat waves, and use less resources. I noticed making display (not the computer) sleep and then waking does not ask me to log in like a screen saver would do. Is there a way to do this for sleeping displays?
Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8), 2.4 Ghz; A1260 model; 15" size.
So I've just purchased a mid 2011 Macbook Pro 13" used via eBay. Was advertised as having 500gb hard drive and 6gb ram. I checked the ram and it was all legit, checked the hd capacity and it was all correct as well. So I made a new login for myself and deleted the previous owner's. Now my hard drive shows up as 320gb. Even in disk utility and terminal.
When I open iTunes, I am asked for a password, TWICE. I don't wish to use automatic downloads at this time, and I don't need to tell my computer that more than once until I change my mind, as opposed to twice every-time I open iTunes.
Info: MacBook Pro, 2 GHz, 2 GB, Mac OS X (10.6.8), PCI Express/34 for Firewire 800 External Drives
The most recent iTunes update 10.1 has caused a prompt box every time I open iTunes that requires me to "allow" incoming connections. I have added iTunes in the firewall settings as always allow but still it comes up over and over. I do not have this problem on my two other macs that I updated the same day. All are running 10.6.5 and have identical iTunes libraries but for some reason my iMac will not stop prompting me over this. Is there a fix that I am not aware of?
I'm having a hard-to-explain problem. It seems that the date 05/01/2008 is everywhere. I bought my IMac in June of 2008 and I don't recall having this problem before. I'm a British user, so my iMac should be set at DD/MM/YYYY. I don't know whether this refers to a day in January or May. I wouldn't know where to search on the internet to see if a certain application or malware causes this glitch, but I thought someone on the forums might know.
A few recurrences of 05/01/2008 include:
All of the podcasts in my iTunes including Apple Keynotes, Quick Tips, Will it Blend and MacFormat have a release date of 05/01/2008 In System Profiler, below the titlebar, there is [my name]'s iMac and to the right the date 05/01/2008 18:26. Does anyone know what this date is a reference to? Could this be the day it was made?
I tried searching for files made on that day, but Find, didn't let me enter in a date in the field! Just for the record, I'm running 10.5.6 on a 2.4ghz iMac - the one released before the latest refresh.
Using iCal 4.0 with Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on Intel iMac. Recurring reminders pop up with the entire history of the reminder. For example, when it's time to remind me of a monthly meeting on Oct. 15, 2009, I'll get a whole laundry list of reminders dating back to, say, March 15, 2008. I've tried eliminating the Calendar Cache but that didn't help.
I'm trying to set up some automated reporting from my computer to my email when I'm out of the office. I've got the applescript set up to run when I send an email, but I'm trying to make it automated every hour or 30 minutes or something. Someone recommended iCal- I've got it able to run the script on each event, but I can't figure out how to make an event recur hourly.
I've been experiencing recurring kernel panics for at least a month now and I seem to have narrowed down the issue to the RAM. Now I'm just not sure whether it's corrupt kernel files associated with the RAM or the actual hardware itself. I've run the extended apple hardware test and the error message I recieve (within 5 seconds) is that the error is with the file 4MEM/1/40000000:0x84938218 I've downloaded memtest and run that within terminal. Funny thing about that is as soon as I type "memtest all" my macbook kernel panics almost immediately. Something about the "memory lock-up" phase".
Other than that my computer works fine as long as I don't run too many applications at once. Often times video streaming or opening too many tabs in a web browser will do it. And you can forget about running games that will kernel panic almost immediately. here's an example of the logs I've been getting. It's not the most recent but they all say the same thing-I've checked. Interval Since Last Panic Report:
I've (almost) created two iTunes LPs using the sample that Apple put up up on their website. On one I cannot get the music video to play and on the second I cannot access the lyrics pages for tracks 10 onwards by clicking on a button on the song list page unless I click on tracks 1 to 9 and use the arrows.
My wife is having trouble deleteing a recurring iCal event. This is under Leopard. The calendar was published on .mac. I took that away. Tried to delete but that didn't work. I can't delete one instance or the entire series of events.
I purchased an ap with a monthly charge but have decided that it isnt for me, will the payment be cancelled from me just deleting it from my phone or do I need to contact anybody about it.
This issue just started a couple of days ago. I noticed something weird happening when I watching a YouTube video - the video stopped playing but the sound kept on going like nothing was wrong. Anyway I ran the Apple Hardware Test yet it detected no problems. I even went through the extended test just to make sure. I originally got this machine as Snow Leopard but upgrading to Lion.
Basically what happens is the whole screen freezes and i reboot and I am able to go about its business until the next freeze. The times that I have came back into the room to see it froze up was when the screensaver had turned on or when I was playing any kind of game it seems like it had frozen up(one time playing a game in VMWARE (windows xp). I dont know if this could be a GPU issue or not.
I'm invited to a recurring event (a weekly meeting), which is an event sent by someone else that I accepted, so it shows up on my calendar. However, I can't seem to set an alert on it, so I either sometimes overlook the meeting start time or I have to create a whole new calendar event just so I can set an alert.
I am using iTunes 10.6.1 (7) on Lion 10.7.4 and I have (yet again) noticed that iTunes has started creating multiple copies of Temp File.tmp in the iTunes folder. It creates a copy every single time I do anything inside iTunes, including skipping a track or checking the iTune store. I thought that maybe my ClamXav Sentry scanner was causing issues so I removed the iTune directory from the scan and even shut it down alltogether. I have not shared my iTunes library either so I can se no reason that anything else is holding onto this file and causing iTunes to create a copy of the iTunes Music Library.xml file. Its simple starts at some random time and they stops just as randomly. However this time is particularly bad as EVERYTHING I do inside iTunes caused the problem.
I have a Mac with OS (10.7.3), itunes (10.6.1).I'm trying to create a ringtone using one of my mp3s. I have seen many instructions on the internet on how to do it. The problem is I don't have the ability to create a aac version of the mp3.I have the song at 29 seconds. When I highlight the song and right-click, I don't see "create aac version". Also when I go to advance I also don't see "create aac version". How do you create ringtones in 10.6.1?
My family is currently using one ID and with iCloud and the automatic downloading of apps onto devices it gets really annoying. I want to create my own apple ID but I am afraid that it will delete my music/apps/etc from my iTunes library and iCloud. Is this true?
I just got my macbook and ipod touch I was trying to get the 2.0 update for the ipod but I couldn't create an itunes account because I don't have a credit card and I live in a country which doesn't have a store. So what do I Do? I can get a friend from canada to buy me an itunes gift card but can I use it here ? or even a paypal one? And still if I create the account can I use it to buy the update and apps from my country? Or download missing album art I guess my second question is can I buy stuff from another country's store?
I saw a couple of other threads talking about this and thought we should have a thread where you can show off and share your own custom made Genre thumbnails. In case your not sure how to do it this is a good guide: [URL]. Basically you need to create a jpeg, put it in the right folder (iTunes>Contents>Resources) with the correct name and then adjust a tiny bit of information in the genre plist.
Its very simple and people who have no experience with this kind of stuff will be able to do it easily. Also if (like me) you are annoyed at the fact that some genres are missing you can add your own in the exact same way as in he link posted. Note in mine that Action & Adventure are now two separate genres and i've added Gangster, Kung Fu, Comic & Anime. Mine are all supposed to be the best films of that genre (ok maybe not Transformers ). Pic link now added, download!
