Pavilion dm4 Asking for an administrator account and its password. What can I do? I

It keeps asking for an administrator account. It needs a password as well! It won't let me go beyond that screen and if I press cancel it will shut the computer. I cannot access my home screen!

Try entering a wrong password- or simply leaving it blank- and tap Enter key. After 3 times it should give you a disabled code. Post the code.

How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot. You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services. The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

Why did OS just ask for my iMessage, FaceTime and mail password?

Why did OS just ask for my iMessage, FaceTime and mail password?

Hi,
I signed up for a Developer account with my Apple ID at one stage.
Although I don't use it I do get prompted to Change my Password frequently, but somewhat randomly since.
At first I wondered if it was a change within the Apple set up overall but I have not heard other people mention it.
Since then I must admit to not checking posts on this topic though.
Whether the request to change the password is triggered by some other even at the server I don't know.
For instance these communities/forums are shared/duplicated across four or five servers. There can be issues is they go out of sync and things like the roll out of the new layout can be server by server with them being Off line in rotation - which it turn can stress the load on the first to handle the change.
On Change over day the process was supposed to start at about 12.00 Noon my local time.
In the evening I could not sign in during the 3 hours I am normally at my computer.
However I could see both the iPhone Community and the Mavericks communities both had large numbers of spam "meet women in..." and offers for "help" with a name that sounded like it could be an Indian Guru.
It looked like these were being edited out at the time.
However the Status page told me nothing about the downtime. And it did appear some people were Logged in and posting judging by the time codes.
Whilst I believe an event happens that triggers a request for a new password for me I do not specifically know that this is what triggers others to have to log in again.
To put it another way though.
You might have one password to the account that you use for FaceTime, Messages, iTunes, iCloud Logging in to post here and so forth.
Whilst the Messages, FaceTime, iTunes and iCloud servers are all separate that password has to be verified.
If there is a power outage at that server then everyone has to log in again.

HT204085 What is "local items"keychain and its password, how can i reset the password if i forgot the password

What is "local items"keychain and its pasword. how can i reset the password if i forget the password?

I just fixed the same problem. Here's what to do.
Click on the finder, then scroll across to the GO on the top menu bar, but also hold down the option or alt key while you do this.
scroll down the go menu to library and highlight library.
the library folder will open
go to the keychains folder and open it
in the keychains folder, then click and drag the blue folder that has all the letters and numbers for a title like "A2CEEE274-....."
drag this folder to the desktop
now restart your machine
when the machine restarts, you should see the keychains folder still open with a new folder in it that looks just like the one you dragged out onto the desktop
throw the one on the desktop out in the trash
You just reset the keychain folder so the new mavericks update could recognize it correctly, by the way apple customer support mentioned the reason this was happening was due to the update, and this is the standard fix. The apple keychain access pw should be your apple id or logon password.
Good luck!!!

I have transferred my iTunes library from a PC to a Mac. Many of the albums will not run (not authorized) The system asks for old email account and passwords I used years ago. I have no idea what they are. How do I get around this?

Having transferred my iTunes library from my old PC to my new Mac. Many of the albums will not play because they are not authorized. Authorization lists very old email addresses of which I do not have the passwords or, in fact, access to the email websites. Can anyone whelp me with a way to get around this?

Yes, I believe I did with no success playing some of my "old albums." The remaing albums worked just fine.
I think I found a workaround by signing in to the old website using "forgot" password and changed it to a new one. Then I signed in using my Apple ID and Passwird. This seems to have worked.

Last time i bought iwork retail v9.0.3, then i tried to install it but it kept showing the error message. After i updated my mac, the iwork asked for a serial number and until today i can't use any of the iwork application. How can i solve this problem?

Hoping for a solution since i need to have this iwork to 'work'.. Too many assignments need to be done and i am sick of going to the library to use the desktop there. Thank you =)

I think you have two separate issues & I'll try to answer in the order you need to address them.
First, it seems you have/had the trial of iWork '09 installed. It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This has changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Next, you need to update iWork '09 to 9.0.5. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

Since i downloaded mavericks my computer keeps asking for l? ocal items keychain password.What is that

Since I downloaded Mavericks my computer keeps asking forLOCAL ITEMS KEYCHAIN PASSWORD. What is that? It wont allow access to my computer without it!!

My guess is all the issues are probably related and fall back to malware.
AVG is probably correct in identifying malware. So I suggest you try some cleaning tools other than Emsisoft .
ones I use (all of them one after the other until I find one that can cope) are;
Roguekiller http://www.adlice.com/softwares/roguekiller/
Malwarebytes anti malware Free http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/var2/confirm/
ESET online scanner http://www.eset.com/int/home/products/online-scanner/
So first create a clean boot in Windows using Microsoft's instructions https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135?wa=wsignin1.0 and then run the anti malware applications.
My outside looking in guess is that malware has set itself up as an internet proxy and is is downloading copies of itself and other malware, blocking some mail port as times as downloading more malware is more important, and probably breaking your tivo as well..
Try the malware programs first. If that does not work I will try and talk you through some logging to see what is happening.

"Home Shared" Apps are asking for original iTunes Account?

my Dad just got his iPad (64GB WiFi) and asked me to set it up for him (register, transfer content, etc)
i've had mine (32GB 3G) for a while, so i have a bunch of apps (free and paid).
i've never used _Home Sharing_ before but i figured that would be a better solution that re-downloading all these apps of mine to his MacBook Air or over WiFi to his iPad so i enabled _Home Sharing_ between his MBA and my MacBook Pro.
i only transferred iPad apps. no other content.
everything went fine. until one of the apps on his iPad had a software update. when he went to the App Store, on the iPad, it prompted him for MY iTUNES ACCOUNT and MY PASSWORD.
*what am i doing wrong here?*
*is this how home sharing is supposed to work?* (that he has to enter my iTunes account info or be stuck with whatever version of the app lives on his device at the time of the initial "Home Share"?)
we live together but are rarely on the same network so really, this was intended to be a one time setup to get him started.
Thanks in advance,
L

This situation of yours doesn't seem to be any different from my experiences over the years while using my iMac, iPhone, and my wife's iPhone.
While using each device, we just sign in to iTunes using my own userName and password each time. It works, marvelously. (I didn't think about that five device limitation when recently adding our new iPad, though.)
Each and every time we sign on to iTunes, it asks for userName and password. This is an essential task for Apple, otherwise they would lose accountability.
Are you upset that your father cannot enter his own iTunes userName and password? Well, if he has his own account, then he had an iTunes library different from yours. If your father did not purchase the app being updated, then would you expect Apple to provide a free update based on his userName and password? (Don't hold your breath.)
It's OK to have two or more iTunes accounts. If you want to let your father update your apps for you, then let him enter your iTunes userName and password when it is requested. (I bet he already knows what those vital statistics are!)
Accounting is a nightmare for most of us, isn't it?
