"Suddenly, today, my Mac Pro running 10.8.1 no longer allows me to move items to the trash. When I attempt it, I get a 'Finder wants to make changes' dialog box asking for a password. Entering the password deletes the file completely; it's not in the trash. If I log into my 'safe' account, the Finder deletes files as expected, so I've installed something in my main account that's acting up. Any ideas what it might be?" MacInTouch 10:16 AM

"Mountain Lion 10.8.1, on 3 machines' Mail will start the password request loop after 'x' amount of time. If I restart the computer, all is well again, for awhile. Examining Keychain Access, there are no Mail documents to 'correct' or examine. This is when I'm in the password loop. Mail will not save any preference changes I make. After a restart, when Mail is happy, Keychain Access shows all the proper Mail documents under 'Login'. If I do a 'First Aid' in KeyChain Access, all the Mail documents go away and if Mail was working properly, no password looping, it no longer is. If Mail was not working properly (password looping), the looping doesn't get fixed. I'm not sure if I'm looking for a sick Keychain Access and Mail or just a sick Mail." MacInTouch 10:16 AM
