    Mac Users a little help

    Im not sure why this is happening,never happened before, when opening a terminal window, it asks for a password, i rebooted and it seemed to work, but now its coming back, no idea why.



    any ideas on a fix or how to troubleshoot this?

    thanks.

        You fuckers keep telling us that MACs are so much better and never have problems, yet it seems to be just the opposite.

          Mac, not MAC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

          But other than that, really useful post. Nice one.

                Is this a Macintosh, or a Hackintosh? Sadly, it matters.

                    Might be a problem with your Terminal preferences. Try removing (or just renaming) the Terminal preferences file ("~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist") and then restarting the Terminal application.

                    If you still have a problem, then look at what you have in your shell "dot" files - see "What startup files are read by the shell?". If you can't figure out what the problem is, try removing (or just renaming) those "dot" files.

                    One final place to look for problems is the "default.term" file under "~/Library/Application Support/Terminal". This is the file that stores the default settings for Terminal windows.

                          Not sure but if you contact Apple they will be able to help you. Apple's support is spectacular and most of the time it's free.

                                Make sure you have the "Include pre-release" option enabled for total finder if you're running on mavericks... they're updating it pretty frequently now...

                                Oh and if you get a password prompt for a pre-release version, just hit enter, there's not actually a password. Not sure why they do it like that but alas.
