Printer keeps asking for a password when printing in safari or firefox

Hello I'm new to the Mac. I have been a PC User for over 30 years.
Here is my issue. I print in safari or Firefox and every time it asks for a password from the user. I click remember the key but everytime it pops up when I want to print.
How do I fix this.
Thanks

Hello, & welcome to the forums & Macdom!
Welll, this is a new one on me, does it print from other Apps without a Password?
Is this for any site, or just certain ones?

My mac keeps asking for a password when I try to install adobe flash player. Even with the hint I'm not getting it and also tried uninstall and the same thing occurred.

It's referring to the MAC password that you have setup.
A software prompts for a password only when there are restrictions set on the user account for unauthorised access to system files and folders.

Cant receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when I respond same message- password

Suddenly can't receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when i
put it in,same message flashes up, reset does not work, also waiting for apple time lapse, still does not want to give me my yahoo mail on this format, tried talking to apple online contact, cut off, I'm receiving through safari, nothing through my email app

Give it time. Yahoo has been doing things to their servers that often muck up the Mail app. Usually it takes 24-48 hours to run its course then it'll work again.
if it doesn't clear up by the end of the weekend, you can remove and readd your account, but chances are it'll just start to work.

Why does iTunes keep asking for my password when I want to listen to my music on my iPhone?

When I want to listen to music on my iPhone, iTunes keeps asking for my password. I am not purchasing anything. It started today. Why is that?

I've been having the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. I talked to Apple customer service this morning. They had me do the following on both devices in the Settings:
* Sign out of iTunes & App Store
* Sign out of FaceTime
* Sign out of Game Center
* Delete iCloud account
They also had me restore my iPad due to some glitchy behavior in the Music app.
Things seemed to me fixed for a few hours until I went into the iTunes Store app on my iPad and added a movie to my Wish List. When I went back to the Music app, the dreaded "Sign In to iTunes Store" popup started showing up again on both devices. Suspicious!
So, I cleared out my Wish List in both the iTunes Store and App Store. I've been poking at the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad since then I haven't seen that popup once since then. I'm not going to declare victory yet since it's only been an hour or two, but I thought that this was worth mentioning.

Keeps asking for keychain password when i open programs

i open safari, it asks for a password. I open almost anything and it asks for a keychain password, and i put the password i use to login to my username and it says it is wrong. I want this off, i dont want this coming up, so how do i go along doing this, especially without the password?

I'm not entirely sure this will work if your keychain is already locked, but try this:
* Log in as the user who is having the issues
* Open up System Preferences -> Accounts
* Make sure the user under "My Account" is highlighted
* Enter a new Password (you'll have to enter your currenty password first).
Note: this does not have to be a different password, you can use the exact same password you are using now, but you must re-enter it.
* Re-enter your password in the Verify field.
* Click on the Show All Button or any other button to get System Preferences to save your changes.
At this point a pop-up menu should show up telling you your keychain password has been reset. You may have to log out and back in again, but you shouldn't be getting the keychain pop errors any more.
Alternatively if you don't have anything important in your keychain you can always delete your keychain and it's preferences, of course then you'll lose all the information that's stored there.

Thunderbird keeps asking for my password when I try to send emai but still doesn't work after I enter it.

I am using Thunderbird Ver. 35 and yahoo mail as my server on a windows 7 64 bit computer. I use the same password on Thunderbird and Yahoo. I always click the "use password manager to remember password" box. Occasionally the mail is sent but very infrequently.
Can you help?

it's not asking for a user name just the pass word. I can log into Yahoo mail using my user name and password with no problem. I assume the user name is the same for both.

My finder keeps asking for my password when i try to delete things. and when i do enter in my password nothing is deleted. i tried going into terminal and typing in su, but it wouldnt let me type my password

Never empty the Trash in the shell (Terminal.)
1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

I was tinkering with it last night and found that the mac mini didn't like the frequency that the router was using to communicate. I changed from channel 6 to channel 9 and the problem went away. Perhaps an auto setting would have worked but I'm using and older Linksys router and the auto was not an option.

Why does it keep asking for my password when im in my email

Check you Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > your_account > Account > Incoming Mail Server > password and Outgoing Mail Server > SMTP > Primary Server > password & Authentication> Password
If no joy, delete the whole e-mail account and start again.

I am trying to print from my Apple IPad to my Inkjet 2542 printer, it asks for a password when my printer is found, not sure what to put

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Assuming you have installed your printer onto your home wireless network, your iPad Application is asking for your Wireless passphrass / password to your network.
Reference: HP Deskjet 2540 series User Guide
See Page 49
=====================================
Take a look at the following:
Add Device to Printer
You need the first part for Printer Software for your printer and you need "An App for That" in the Mobile printing section where you complete Steps 1-2-3.
Skip all the parts in the middle having to do with ePrint and HP Connected -- your printer does not have ePrint so you don't need to worry about any of that.

Why does it keep asking for my password ?

Why does it keep asking for my password when i open the APP STORE ? Theres no updates and i aint downloading anything. Any help ? Thanks.

It shouldn't really ask you anything. One way to possibly forestall this from happening again would be to register and enter your own ID and password. The system won't ask you for anything else, since it has all the user info it needs.
When is it asking you questions? When the App Store opens? When you click on hyperlinks to documents?

I was told to restore my i phone as my battery wasnt working well. I made sure i backed up my iphone and transferred my purchases before restoring it. When i try to restore it to my back up settings it keeps asking for a password which i dont know?

My battery was not working properly (kept running out over a few hours.) I was advised at the apple store to restore my iphone which i did. When i try to restore it to my back up it keeps asking for a password but i have no idea what this password is? could anyone help?

If your backup is encrypted, you cannot restore without the password.
You can continue to backup but you cannot restore without password.
There's no way to retrieve the password.
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.

I changed my email address for my Apple ID but my phone doesn't recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email

I changed my email address for my Apple ID. When I want to use iCloud my iPhone doesn't seem to recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email. I can't update the new address it keeps defaulting to my old one.

Hello TirEoghain,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
First I would like you to try the instructions below to sign out of your iCloud account, and then sign in with your new Apple ID.
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud

Take care,
Alex H.
