Acrobat 9 Pro requires admin password every time it opens?

Ever since a recent upgrade, my Acrobat Pro wants a password "to make changes" just to open.
I don't want to make changes, I want to open the app. A similar question elsewhere in this group has not been answered.
thanks

Try blowing away your Acrobat preferences files in ~/Library/Preference. These should be sufficient:
$ find Library/Preferences | grep -i acrobat | egrep -v 'chc|Macro'
Library/Preferences/Acrobat
Library/Preferences/Acrobat/9.0_x86
Library/Preferences/Acrobat/9.0_x86/Acrobat WebCapture Prefs
Library/Preferences/Acrobat/9.0_x86/Redaction
Library/Preferences/Acrobat/9.0_x86/Redaction/ENU
Library/Preferences/Acrobat/9.0_x86/Redaction/ENU/SearchRedactPatterns.xml
Library/Preferences/Acrobat Distiller Prefs
Library/Preferences/Adobe/Acrobat
Library/Preferences/Adobe/Acrobat/10.0
Library/Preferences/com.adobe.acrobat.90.sh.plist
Library/Preferences/com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer.plist
Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist
Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro_x86_9.0.plist
$
Then run Acrobat twice. It should rewrite the preferences, possibly prompting you in the process, and then be happy.

Why does Lightroom Require Admin password each time I open it?

Hi,
Just joined the community and downloaded Photoshop as Admin.
I then enter my non-admin user (same PC).
Photoshop works fine - I open it no problem.
Ligghtroom, which I had downloaded a trial version a copule of weeks ago, required me to always enter the Admin pw every time - annoying.
Does anyone know how to stop this happening?
Many thanks, Dave

Dave if you create a new Standard account do you face the same password request? Is your computer remotely managed?
I don't believe reinstall Photoshop Lightroom will change the behavior. If you do wish to reinstall though then please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html if you face any difficulties with reinstalling Photoshop Lightroom through the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

Since upgrading to Mavericks my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires administrative password on every launch--whats with that?

Since upgrading to Mavericks my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires administrative password on every launch which seems like an unnecessary step. Does anyone know why this is happening and what can be done to eliminate this?

Download and run the combo updater to refresh your files.
OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 (Update (Combo)

Open Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions
You might need to remove and reinstall Acrobat. Be sure you are in an admin account when installing.

HT204306 starbucks app requires username/password every time. How can I tell my phone to remember my u/p?

Starbucks app requires username / password every time it is invoked.
Is there some way to tell the app to remember me?

Meg,
passcode was where you suggested.
But it says that passcode is to be invoked each time you invoke the starbucks app.
I do not wish to create another step. I wish to remove one (or two).
But thank you for calling that to my attention. I did not know it was there.

I am trying to install windows 7 to my Macbook pro with bootcamp but every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7", any solutions ?

Hi, I am trying to install Windows on my MacBook Pro with bootcamp. Every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7". I did this before using the same computer and the same hard drive so I am not sure why this is happening now but did´t happen then. Any solutions ?

Was your Bootcamp info.plist manipulated to change any options?

Why does my final cut pro is not responding every time I open it????!!!!!!

why does my final cut pro is not responding every time I open it?

As you give no background info nobody can possibly guess.
However, have you tried trashing the preferences?
Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that only FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones . . . instantly.

Why do i have to enter my apple id password every time i open my ipad?

You're right, it's because you're a course creator or contributor.
You can just cancel this dialog box but you can't avoid it.

ITunes Asks For My Password Every Time It Opens

Running Mac OSX 10.10.1 (Yosemite) and iTunes 12.0.1.26
Every time I open iTunes, it asks me for my password. It asks for it usually four times:
-to enable automatic downloads (twice, not always in succession)
- to enable iTunes Radio
- And to enable downloads
I've asked this before with no success and no solutions.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Like Jassy, this is a relatively new issue. I hate to say it, but it seemed to coincide with my Mavericks update. I doubt it's because of that, specifically, but it was around the same time. I really think it's some kind of Safari/iTunes issue.
I actually don't understand what you mean by an active internet connection being the problem. I'm only on line when my Mac is turned on and (I assume) when I'm on email or browsing the web. I don't have any connections set up when I'm not actively on line. But even so, I don't know wh that would cause me to have to log in to iTunes (four times in rapid succession) every time I clear my browser history.
That seems to be the one thing that causes it though - clearing my Safari History. If I don't clear it, iTunes doesn't require me to log back in. Only when I clear it does iTunes make me do those four log ins.
Hope that helps clarify this. I'm not a real whiz at this.

How can I stop iTunes from prompting me for my password every time I open it?

Every time I open iTunes I am prompted four times to enter my Apple ID password. Now I know that this is because I have automatic downloads enabled but it never used to do this when I had iTunes 11, only happened since I've had iTunes 12.
Short of turning off Automatic Downloads, is there a way that I can get iTunes to stop prompting me for my password?

Hi mikehoft,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are receiving repeated prompts to sign in with your account when you open iTunes on your Windows computer. It sounds like to me, because you mention Automatic Downloads, that you are being prompted to authorize your account. If this is the case, I would recommend working through all of the troubleshooting, in order, in the attached article to resolve this issue.

Getting prompted for password EVERY time I open the App Store!

Does anyone have this happen to them? Every time I tap the App Store icon to go browse for new apps, it asks me for my password. Every time. Its driving me nuts LOL. It just started doing it recently out of the blue, so I'm not sure what's causing the issue. I've included a screenshot below...
Has anyone seen this or, better yet, cured this? Thanks in advance!

Anyone?
Totally weird stuff, as it's still doing it. This is after phone reboots, iTunes syncs, etc. etc. I just don't get it...

Why does the iTunes AppleID system refuse to work properly without the need to reset the password every time I open iTunes for use?

Alright so here is the issue. When I first started using iTunes I created my AppleID. I locked it in to remember my password and authorize my computer so that I would NEVER HAVE TO ENTER IT AGAIN. So years pass, no problem. Then "ITUNES 11" come on everyone lets upgrade or you can't proper use the iTunes Store. Seriously it wouldn't let me access the store. Go Figure. So I upgrade simple right? No. It really isn't when iTunes 11 rolled out it was riddled with minor bugs that made the experience annoying so I did a rollback and live without the store for awhile.
About a year passes and I try again this time upgrading iTunes through a COMPLETE fresh install, again I did what had done the first time I logged my AppleID and reauthorized my computer. Hurrah other than getting use to the new UI it ran perfectly. Yes Finally! Right? Again.... No. No more than 2 or 3 software updates later suddenly my password for my AppleID is incorrect I was like "Okay?" and re-entered it thinking the big update cleared my settings.
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
I was like okay maybe the user agreement change and we all need to reset passwords and re-accept the EUA. So I go through the process to create a new password successfully and reset my AppleID in iTunes with the new password. Come back a few weeks later it happens again this time I enter my new password and what do I get?
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
So I first do a repair install to my iTunes than reset my password this time NOT setting it to remember password. Great everything works fine again password even matched my Home CompID so that I could NEVER lose it well come a few days later I try to use the store and what happens?
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
to try to make my Long story a little shorter....
This has been going on for the better part of 3 years I have almost completely dropped iTunes which has the better store library for Goggle Play Music who's store library isn't even a third the size iTunes has because their system works and my log-in is my e-mail. I repeatedly completely uninstalled iTunes and wiped it from my registry in hope a clean install would fix the problem but it never does.
My OS is Vista Home Premium Edition 32-bit and no picking on my OS I been working to get a new computer but that isn't happening anytime soon so I work with what I got.

Even removing the .xml files doesn't make a difference. Also, I now installed another update of iTunes, but still having the same problem, and this time there are no .xml files or preference files whatsoever in the Application Data and Local Settings\Application Data iTunes folders. It seems like for some reason iTunes is unable to create these. What should I do?

How to eliminate having to put in my password every time I open the I Pad

How do I eliminate having to put in my password in order to open my I Pad

setting
passcode
enter your passcode and you should see the option to turn it off.
Bear in mind that your device is more secure with one - but 100% your choice. And if your iPad is administered by work or school you may not be allowed to turn it off since they sometimes determine that passcodes are mandatory
