Acrobat asks 'Root' ID/password at launch?

Hello -
I installed many Adobe® Suite® CS3 on new Macintosh (OS 10.5.4), and on one of them, when the user try to launch Acrobat®, well it asks for 'Root' ID/password.
But I don't want that Acrobat® asks this at each launch.
How may I avoid this?
NB. the 'final' user don't have the right of the 'Root'.
Thank you, have a nice day
- Dimitri

Acrobat should ask once, on first launch. Does it happen every time,
even if you fill in the password one time?

Acrobat Pro installed as part of CS3 - asks for Admin password at launch

Installed CS3 whilst logged in as Admin, for a Leopard rollout.
All apps in the Suite work except Acrobat Pro, which asks for an Admin password every time it is launched. I have Googled this and tried all suggestions from the simple 'Fix permissions' to editing the ''AcroENUPro80SelfHeal.xml'' and ''RdrENU90SelfHeal.xml''.
Nothing as yet fixes this issue
As a last resort and with no real believe that it will work, I am re installing CS3 again under Admin rights and running every app in the Suite first before adding to the new image. I am sure that when I installed the first time I ran all updates and launched every app in the suite.
Cheers

Ran all updaters, on 3 Macs. All stil continue to ask for Admin name and password.
Googling around this seems to be an ongoing issue with Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader.

Acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?

acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?
any one with a solution or similar problem?
thanks for any help.

I've been avidly following all of the threads regarding this issue...yet none of the solutions have worked for me. I've got 11 Mac users that do not use the Creative Suite..only Acrobat, Quark, etc. I've tried installing and re-installing through both Admin and User accounts, I've tried the AdobeBib XML change, I've tried enabling Root and installing, changing permission on the Acrobat folder, etc. all to no avail. I still get asked for Admin Authentication every time Acrobat and Distiller are opened (except on the Admin account side). This is happening on one particular Mac (G4, 1GB Ram, OS 10.4.3) for both Acrobat Standard 6 and 7 as well. The biggest issue that also happens in tandem with the Acrobat installs is the inability to print from Quark. I get the following error when printing: "The process "pictwpstops" terminated unexpectedly on signal 6." Because of the necessity to print Quark documents, I have uninstalled all Acrobat on the machines until we can get a fix. This resolves the printing problem with Quark. The only option left is to set up all users as Admin accounts - which I really do not want to do. Any other suggestions out there? I've got more information available if needed.

[SOLVED] Ask root password automatically [question]

Hi, everybody.
Is there any way for console apps that need to be run as root to ask root password when we type the command?
Ex:
[user@localhost ~]$ pacman -Syu
You cannot perform this operation unless you are root. Please, insert the root password:
I know that there is "sudo", but i really dont like it because i have allways to type "sudo command".
Thanks in advance.

Why does the iTunes Store (iTunes 11.2) keep asking for my Apple ID password on launch?

iTunes 11.2, Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
The iTunes Store keeps asking for Apple ID password on launch, and with every download, even when I am already logged in to the iTunes Store with my Apple ID. I am using iCloud, my iCloud account is set up on my iMac and I am using iCloud Keychain. My Apple ID password is stored in my Keychain. So why can't the iTunes Store remember me?

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Startup disaster, Root/user password change, Please help!!

Hi, my ibook g4 was purchased on ebay through a seller with 100% feedback (a school district). It came with Tiger already installed, and I bought the Leopard Retail upgrade disc, installed all that, and did software updates to get it up and running at 10.5.8. It ran perfectly for the first two days.
Then on startup, the blue screen issue which lasted forever. I put in the Update install disc to run disc utility: A-ok. Tried again, and again. Nothing.
Finally, I went to the installer menu, and reset the user/root/admin passwords.
Now, even when I put the install disc in, it doesn't even go to the gray apple. Instead, it just gives that "?" /faces pictures intermittently.
I was wondering if anyone has had any such problem, and found a solution.
I should add that I already attempted "Safe" mode and even "Transfer" mode, with firewire/friend's macbook. All to no avail.
Is there any way to FIND that hard drive in there again?
Thanks, everyone!
Robert

HI,
Now, even when I put the install disc in, it doesn't even go to the gray apple. Instead, it just gives that "?" /faces pictures intermittently.
Indicates that your iBook can't find a System Folder to boot from.
Then on startup, the blue screen issue which lasted forever. I put in the Update install disc to run disc utility: A-ok. Tried again, and again. Nothing.
Did you actually boot from the install disc or just insert into the optical drive? In order to run Disk Utility from the install disc...
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

How do I back up my IPad to my laptop. It is asking for a password I am signed it

How do I back up my IPad to my laptop. It is asking for a password but I am signed it

Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
Host we need more details:
What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

SDK Trunk. Update my local copy has started asking for username/password

SDK Trunk. Update my local copy has started asking for username/password
these has been happening on and off for a few days now.
when i click update on my local copy of the sdk ready to do my morning build I've started to be asked for a username and password. I do have a username and password for sandbox and patching etc but entering this has no effect.
are there times of day when the trunk is locked or something like that? This is not happening all the time but it is several times a day.
has anyone any idea why this is happening
Ive don e all the usual things, clean my local version, grabbed a totally new version etc
im on windows using TortoiseSVN(which is always using a current build)
cheers

Ive had this same issue on and off across all the open source svn
im yet to find any pattern apart from the fact that the auth error only ever shows the root of the svn request.
Ie http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/
Now im not sure if thats just the way the reporting ui works of if it indicates that somewhere in the update it starts to trigger the url rot and thats where the auth request gets triggered. This may be total nonsense. Just a thought.

Keychain keeps asking for my password

Hi,
I downloaded a twitter application Natsulion, and keychain access keeps asking for my password. I tried looking in keychain access application for where the password is stored but I don't see it in there. I tried doing keychain first aid but that didn't fix the problem.
I'm having this problem in other applications too.
Thanks in advance,
Pete

Changing root's password

As my name says, I am new to Solaris. I inherited an x86 box running Solaris 9 and I do not know the password for the root account. I know that Linux allows you to boot into single user mode and change the password. Can someone tell me if there is a way to do this with Solaris 9?
TIA

This will only work if you're happy with the vi
text editor, regardless of platform.
If you've never used vi before, please find
a cheatsheet/tutorial on the web before
trying to edit /a/etc/shadow!
Just a couple of things to watch on x86 -- the
procedure will work, if you also:
1. Get a copy of the Solaris 9 CD 1.
2. Do a 'boot cdrom -s'. This boots into single-user mode.Instead of 2, let the BIOS boot from the CD,
let it discover devices, then when it asks
what kind of installation you want:-
1 Interactive
2 Jumpstart
<etc>
don't choose a number: this is where
you get to type in
boot -s
and hit 'return'.
When the CD boot completes, and you get
a prompt, run the 'format' command,
note the name of the disk (something
like 'c0t0d0'), and quit with ctrl-D.
x86 systems often see their disks
as c0d0, not c0t0d0 -- that's why
we're being cautious here.
You then need to run the prtvtoc
command, pointing it at '/dev/rdsk/the name of
the disk you just noted', plus 's2':
#prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2
or
#prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0d0s2
or
#prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/yourDiskNameHeres2
The final column of the prtvtoc output tells you
which partition is doing which job.
Normally, partition s0 houses the root (/)
partion, which is why step 3 below generally
works on a Sparc.
Here's my prtvtoc output.
# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
* /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 partition map
* Dimensions:
* 512 bytes/sector
* 248 sectors/track
* 19 tracks/cylinder
* 4712 sectors/cylinder
* 7508 cylinders
* 7506 accessible cylinders
* Flags:
* 1: unmountable
* 10: read-only
* First Sector Last
* Partition Tag Flags Sector Count Sector Mount Directory
0 2 00 0 2049720 2049719 / <--THIS ONE!
1 4 00 2049720 8194168 10243887 /usr
2 5 00 0 35368272 35368271
3 7 00 10243888 25124384 35368271 /var
So for my machine, I need s0 on c0t0d0 -- on yours, look for the prtvtoc row ending in a '/', and note the
partition number in the first field.
You'll use this, preceded by an 's' for 'slice'
in the mount command below. If your '/' is partition
3, then use 's3' below.
Now we're good to go!
3. mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /amount /dev/dsk/YourDiskNameYourRootPartion /a
eg
mount /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 /a
4. TERM=sun; export TERMhmm, on a PC monitor try
TERM=vt100; export TERM
5. vi /a/etc/shadow/And use your vi cheatsheet to navigate to
the second field of the root row,
and delete the field:
root:dTomYcgqKJjoo:12527::::::
becomes
root::12527::::::
6. init 6
ok, you now have no root password -- after
reboot, login as root and hit 'return' when
asked for a password.
To set a new password after reboot, run
the 'passwd' command.
Good luck.
PS. A fresh install might be easier.

IBook no longer asking for a password when waking from sleep or screensaver

My iBook was fine until I installed the Security Update 2006-002 via software update. After the "required" reboot (reboot #1) everything functioned as normal.
On a subsequent reboot (#2) and several other reboots trying to correct the problem (#3-#5) I've found that my iBook no longer asks for a password when coming out of the screensaver, or when waking from sleep.
Yes, I have checked the security pref panel every time and have ensured the checkbox is checked. I even Sudo'd the panel just to be sure.
I downloaded the aforementioned security update and re-applied it. It corrected the problem during the same "required" reboot (#1), but after rebooting the computer a 2nd and 3rd time the problem has came up again.
I wish my iBook wasn't sick! Thanks, I tried searching as best as I could to see if this is a repost.
iBook G4 1.2 Mac OS X (10.4.5) All updates via Software Update
iBook G4 1.2 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I don't have a specific fix but this generalized fix seems to take care of most problems for me. Download Cocktail, Onyx or MainMenu then run Rebuild Launch Services database, the maintenance (cron) scripts, clean all caches then Repair Permissions and restart.
To test it don't keep restarting, that's extra wear and tear on the computer, just put it to sleep and wake it or log out then back in.
If that doesn't work get Disk Warrior and rebuild the directory.
And if that doesn't work do an archive and install then one big upgrade.
But don't go past running one of those three utilities until you see if someone has a better fix for you. It might be as simple as trashing a preferences file.

Acrobat Pro 8 crashes just after launch

I apologize if this has been asked before, I looked and couldn't find it listed anywhere.
Two weeks ago the hard drive in my Intel iMac crashed hard, and now I've had to reinstall all of my software on a new drive. Everything is working fine, except Acrobat Pro 8. I had the program installed on my hard drive before the crash, and it has worked flawlessly for a couple of years, however now, when I boot Acrobat up I get the standard "Getting Started with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional" window, but after a few seconds the program crashes. I've used the "Acrobat Uninstaller" software to uninstall the software, then done a complete reinstall of it, but each time it still crashes- I've completed this procedure 4-5 times at this point, and I still cannot solve it. It does it whether I install it on the startup disk, or the clean empty external hard drive. The Apple Disk Utility gives both drives a clean bill of health when I run "disk repair" and "repair permissions."
I hope someone can help me with this problem. The error report window does not allow the "copy" command to be used, and it would take 10 screen shots or so to be able to include the contents of it. I'm sure hoping someone has the magic answer for me, I NEED my Acrobat to be working right now, in the middle of a design deadline.
Thanks so much for any help.

So, I tried the Licensing Repair Tool and it doesn't do the job. I've used Acrobat Uninstall to uninstall the program several times now, then I re-install Acrobat again. Now when I launch it for the first time it takes me straight to the "Getting Started with Acrobat 8 Professional" screen, bypassing the serial number installation process altogether. For the life of me I cannot figure this out, but it is driving me crazy, not to mention bringing my workflow to a standstill.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

I am being asked for my password every time I delete an item, but nothing is going into my trash can. Can this be resolved please?

Every time I delete something I am asked for my password, which is very annoying. The deleted items are no longer going into my trash can, but are completely wiped from my computer!! Is it possible for a non-computer literate everyday user to re instate the trash can to its original function?

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Erase a document and its show a message asking for a password

I try erase a document and its show a message asking for a password of the administrator, and them the document don't go to the trash. How can I solver this?
I alredy try change the definitions and preferences of the finder and don't solve the problem.

Choose your Home folder "Get Info" (command-i) and be sure you have "read & write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. Check under "General" section to be sure it isn't locked. If that is correct, launch Applications/Utilities/Terminal and at the prompt copy & paste this command…
mkdir ~/.Trash
Press return.
If you get a message that the folder already exists, copy & paste these commands...
sudo chown $UID ~/ .Trash
Press return.
Enter your admin password (it will be invisible)
Press return.Then enter
chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash
Press return. Log out and back in, or restart.
