In my gmail account I want to signin with always having to type in password
Hi Diane
If you want to default to typing in your pw each time you access your email you can try this.
Go to the Utilities Folder inside the Applications Folder.
Open Keychain App
Search for your gmail account in the list
or put gmail in the search box & search.
When you find it, double click the line in the list....
then double click the show password in the dialog box, which will need your computer password to allow you to see this.
If this is the correct one then go back to the line you chose in the list and hit the delete key.
The entry for gmail will be gone and next time you log in for your email you will be prompted for pw for gmail.
Just don't click the "Remember my Password" when it asks!
Now that you know where all your pw's are kept... make sure your computer has a simple secure overall pw.
A lot of people are becoming aware that anything connected with google is monitored, collected and available to the internet.
G Search, gmail, FBook etc is being monitored at least by the NSA if not also cracked by others.
Aviator.app & TorBrowser.app are a secure Free browsers for the Mac... if you need it.
Rethink what you are using for a password
Using an Email address for a username is pretty easy to figure.
So make you password stronger by making a silly sentence with the odd Uppercase character & a number in the middle.

I cant work out how to upload onto my imac,
Hi Andrew
Guess it's a bit late now.... 3 Months
But I guess no one tackled this as it is not clear what you mean by "Upload"
Please be specific if you want a problem solved as it often is a whole lot easier via voice communications. But we have to use TEXT.
Text requires that you outline all the specific detail of your problem.
So....
A computer can upload from many sources....
So... What were you trying to upload and from where!
I use iTunes to upload to my iPhone or iPad
The apps that I collect from the App Store via iTunes on the Computer is UPLOADED to my iPhone.
I Upload Maps to my Navigation device...
It can be done via USB or FireWire or Ethernet cable
Cheers
How can I logout of FB on an imac?
Hi Maggie
Whether it's a Mac or a Windows PC
FaceBook Log On/Off has nothing to do with the OS Software.
You are using a Browser...
Either Safari or FireFox or some other Browser. Therefore you are on a Web Page that is created by/for FaceBook.
If FaceBook makes it difficult to log out.... don't worry about it.... just move on to a new site like
https://duckduckgo.com/ which incidentally does not Track You when searching
...... "The search engine that doesn't track you"
If your not happy with their Web Page Layout then complain to FaceBook via the feedback button on their own website.
I personally won't use them as they track your every word for future reference. But then Hopefully you are aware of this.
Cheers
Why won't my gMail scroll?
Check your scaling. Use cmd-+ and cmd - to increase/decrease the size of text and other things. Also, what browser are you using?
Why can't I attach my keynote presentation to my gMail account?
If there is too much data in the presentation it may well go over the acceptable file size limitations in Gmail. The max you can send in an email is 20MB. If it is larger than this and compressing it to a zip file doesn't help (you can do this by right clicking {or ctrl click} on it and selecting Compress "Filename") I would recommend using a service such as WeTransfer or HighTail to send it.
