After upgrade I no longer get prompted for a password to get out to the internet. It just won't connect.

After upgrade to 28.0 the initial password request, needed by the company firewall, is never popped up. Any site I try to connect to will timeout. I tried all existing passwords, and even completely removed and reinstalled Firefox. Still no prompt. If I open Internet Explorer I can get a password prompt there, and after I enter it I'm good with my firewall for the day, so I know the firewall is still acting the same way as before. I'm set to remember passwords, and my homepage is set to open http://www.google.com. So that's the site that used to hold the firewall login ID and password. Any ideas?

A firewall should never require a password, only a proxy would require such an authentication.
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Since upgrading to iOS 6 I am not getting prompted for my password when I update apps. Why is this?

    When I updated apps on my ipad2 and iphone4S I used to get prompted for my password within a certain time.  So I could update a couple and then 10 minutes later if I wanted to download or update something else I would need to put in my password again. Since I upgraded to iOS6, I don't believe I am prompted for my password the same amount of times. I updated an app this am after not using iPad through the night and it just updated, no password required. This has me concerned now because sometimes I bump buttons by accident and now I will be charged for these accidents. What has happened to Apple's brilliant security?

    They've changed it in iOS and updates (and updates ONLY) do not require a password since it is really unnecessary as they have it on record that you were the one who bought the app. Why is more security needed, you aren't going to be charged for anything?
    Next time you update and app go to the App Store and try to buy something. You will be asked for your password.

  • Installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    You don't use your Apple ID or its password to install anything on your Mac. You use the admin account's name and password.
    Use the name and password you last entered when resetting them. The "name" you use is not the short name of the admin account folder.
    For example. If you create an admin account of John Smith, the short name given to that account's folder will be johnsmith. So when an app requests an admin name and password to install something, the admin name you enter is John Smith, not johnsmith.

  • HT1766 For some unknown reason, I cannot access the internet through my Wi-Fi connection, even in my own house with the computer on.  What shall I do?

    I cannot access the internet with my Wi-Fi connection on my IPad2.  It began with my trying to reply to a message.  I then got a msg that I had the wrong password or user name.  Now I have no access and cannot get or send mail, or access the internet.  What shall I do?

    If you have access to wifi router you may check its log and see what does it say...
    Try set the router for no hidden and no password wifi and try to connect. If you iPad can connect then add password to wifi settings on the router and try to connect again... etc...

    I need to control access to the internet in this workplace and require a password for access. Does Firefox have any way of doing that?

    No it doesn't.

  • After upgrading to Snow Leopard I can't use software update or firefox, and the internet is slow

    I'm getting big problems. After installing Mac OS X Leopard from my usb, I had to since my disk drive stopped working, I had the following problems.  1) Firefox stopped working.  2) Software Update stopped working 3) Chrome runs really slow.  4) Safari stopped working 5) Even on Chrome I can't access any email, including; gmail; hotmail; yahoo; etc...  
    When software update loads it says checking... but it stays at 10% for at least 1 hr.  I reinstalled SL once and it did something different, suddenly my wifi stopped working, and rapidly fluxtuated. 
    What the heck is going on?

    Yes LS needs a update to work with the changes in 10.6.8, so does Parallels.

  • In Mavericks, every time I try to create a new folder on the drive I  get a prompt for my password. I checked Get Info on the main drive and under Sharing

    I got a new 27" iMac with 10.8.5 and migrated a 10.6.8 system and files.  It was working fine. After about 2 weeks I was looking at the Sharing & Permissions and saw an account "wheel".  I mistakenly (I NOW know it was a mistake) changed the permission to no access and subsiquenty could not boot the computer. I had an older iMac so I built a boot disk with the Mavericks installer on it. Booted the computer and restored from a Time Machine backup previous to the change of permissions of the "wheel" account. I went ahead and did a clean install of Mavericks
    The computer is now running with Mavericks installed and I am rebuilding.  When I go to create a new folder on the system drive I get prompted for a pasword.
    When I checked the permissions and sharing on the main drive it tells me "you can only read".
    I am logged in with an admin account. I have run Disk Utiltiy and Tech Tool Pro's  permission verify and repair. Given what happend last time I changed permissions I am reluctant to make any changes.
    Anyone have an idea as to what I should do.
    Thanks in advance.

    Here is the dialoge box. My account does not appear. Can I just add my account or is there some other problem?

  • I get asked for a password when i did not yet set one (after a system reset for the same problem)

    I am getting asked for a password when i have yet to set one.  I have already done a reset and am still getting prompted for a password, which I do not know.

    If you can't remember the Restrictions passcode you have to either:
    - Restore the iPod from a backup that does not have the passcode, or
    - Restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod.

  • After ios5 upgrade cant get out to the internet via wireless, it wont  get past our Smart Filter (web filter)

    I just upgraded my 3GS to IOS5, and now at work when i am connected to our WiFi I can no longer get out to the internet.
    A little back story on how it worked prior to ios5:
    I would connect via wireless, and then load Safari and type in a webpage I wanted to go to.  A pop up box would come up, to authenticate me on our Web filter server (Running Smartfilter), I woudl enter my regular Active Directory username and Password and boom, i could then surf to my hearts content.
    After the upgrade, I connect to the wireless, load Safari, type in the webpage i want to go to, and the progress bar moves abotu 3mm and then stops, I never get the smart filter prompt.
    I have tried a full reset on the phone, forget network, reset all network settings, I even tried putting in the IP address of the smart filter box as a proxy and still it doesnt work.  I have gone to smartfilters website to see if anyone else has posted there, or if there was a clue as to why it doesnt work, but nothing so far.
    anyone else having this problem? any ideas?
    If it wasnt broken, why would apple mess with it!  a LOT of companies run smartfilter as well as other web filters.  I thought apple was trying to seduce corporate customers, and so far a lot of poeple are dissapointed that they cant get to the internet.
    tha
    nks in advance for any assistance.
    j

    I am having the same problem.  The issue also occurs with Safari on Mac OS 10.7.  I work for a school and I am sure that other schools are using smartfilter too.

  • Help: New owner of my iPhone getting prompted for my iTunes account.

    My wife is now using my old computer and iPhone 3g.
    1. In iTunes on the PC, she is logged in.
    2. iTunes says she has one app to upgrade.
    3. Clicking upgrade, iTunes then shows her account name and says there are no apps to upgrade.
    4. Go back to iTunes home page and it says she has one app to upgrade.
    5. My account is actually the account with 1 app to upgrade.
    1. On the iPhone, under settings she is listed as the current account.
    2. Try to buy an app from the app store and she gets prompted for my App store account.
    Has anyone seen this before? I'm at a loss as to how the two accounts are intermingled like this. Everywhere I look she is listed as the active account. But as soon as an upgrade or purchase is attempted it goes back to my account.
    Thank you in advance,
    Gary

    You can do this on your iPad or iPhone - please see Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support (which is written from the point of view of the new owner).

  • I would like to buy my boyfriend the iphone 5. He has an upgrade - but can I purchase it for Christmas now and get money back when he activates and uses his upgrade?

    I would like to buy my boyfriend the iphone 5. He has an upgrade - but can I purchase it for Christmas now and get money back when he activates and uses his upgrade?

    Or purchase an Apple Gift Card for him to use to get a phone at Apple after Christmas. He gets the card as the Christmas gift and can go get the phone himself. It would cost you the same amount of money.

    Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
    The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
    If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
    Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
    Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
    Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
    You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
    You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
    Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
    After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

  • My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application"

    My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
    It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
    Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?
