I am still using OSX 10.1.5 and have decided that there is lots that is not consistent with my iMac. For some ?reason, it started asking for Keychain password when I clicked on Get Mail. And it won't take my password so I have to keep clicking (that's 8 clicks on OK) until it will ask for the password of my mail provided. Then I get my new mail. Now it only asks some of the time. I have not been able to see any pattern in its requests. It does it and also doesn't do it when I've been in Mail and gotten new mail but rechecked for new mail before leaving Mail. Likewise when I've been in Mail and checked for new mail, then left the Internet (quit the connection totally) and later come back and requested new mail. And similar results, it may or may not ask for password after I have restarted my iMac, or shut down completely. So far it has never asked me for a pass word on Shut Down, but there's always a first time. Also I was told by Apple support tech that I should shut down my PowerBook if I was not going to be using it for a few hours. Even in sleep mode it generated heat snd he said the heat was detrimental to long life of the machine. maybe, because the iBook is a little thicker, heat is not as much of a problem. But currently I am leaving my iMac on all the time unless I need to restart it for some installation problem. (I know Lee said you don't need to restart but apparently there are some times you do). I shut down my PowerBook unless I'm going to be back on it in an hour or so. So I'm not consistent in the was I treat my two newer Macs. maybe that's why they are not consistent with me.
