My permissions dissappeared...

[Phatpat]

Sometime between 10.2.8 and umm...now, my permissions got really screwed up. When I open email, it always asks for my email passwords, iChat always asks me for my aim password. I can't use the iPhoto webpage creator or backup because system prefs wont hold onto my password. I've tried verifying and repairing permissions, I don't know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated.

try repairing them

applications > utilities > disk utility

theres a option to do so in that program...

hope this helps

Have you went into your preferences and select Auto-login?

 

[Phatpat]

Done both of those. anything a little obscure that I wouldn't know about?

so the option to save passwords in your programs isnt working? The only other thing I can think of is to trash the prefs to the programs effected (try it with one that isnt that important to see if it works) I know its not that fun but they might be currupted.

Have you tried fixing it to "always allow" in Keychain?
