When I do a fresh start up with my MBA I find that I always need to enter my password. I have tried myself to find a way to avoid doing this but have not come up with one? Anyone just know a way to get right to the desktop on start up?
Problem is is that it is unchecked.
Are you encrypting using FireVault? If you are, there's no option to login automatically.
Try:
System Preferences --> Users & Groups --> Login Options (under the list of users).
Turn Automatic Login on.
Not using fire vault. Ever since doing a software update last night, I now have to login with my password if I have completely shut down and then start up. I don't have any trouble with the MBA awaking from sleep. Just with a fresh start up.
sometimes checking-unchecking an option will fix it.
