Applet requires that you type your password?
If I compile this code as an application bundle, I get the following prompt:
applet requires that you type your password.
Is there any way to change the word 'applet' to the name of the AppleScript.
do shell script "" with administrator privileges
Thanks,
Tom
I do work with applets. Reply #4 is the correct one IMHO.
If you don't understand what he is saying, I will try to put it
in other words.
1. Login dialog. Once your applet starts, it will display nothing
essential, perhaps just a nice background and it will open a
dialog for userid-password. If authentication is ok, close the
userid-password dialog and display in your applet whetever you
have in mind.
2. Card layout. Your applet will start by asking for userid-password
in its area inside the page. When authentication ok, display whatever
the applet is supposed to display.
In both scenarios, there are no two applets, but a single applet that
changes from state 1 (authentication) to state 2 (display data).
The only difference between the two scenarios is aesthetic,
i.e. do you want a popup for userid-password or you want it inside the
page? I would go with the card layout. Both are relatively easy.

TruBlueEnvironment requires that you type your password
On two different machines, we have one person who has received this error while working on Quark 4 in Classic mode:
"TruBlueEnvironment requires that you type your password"
The Mac OS X user is an administrator on that computer. This strikes me as odd why this authentication came up to ask for the user's password to use Classic on both computers, not just one of them. This makes me think that there is something that the user has done to prompt this, or there is something odd about the documents that were being worked on.
Machines: iMac G5 & PowerMac G5. Both are running Mac OS 10.4.2 and have Classic mode.Select the item named Working Drive in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu; you can use the Go to Folder command in the Go menu to navigate to this folder. If this item isn't listed as an alias, you can safely move it out of the Volumes folder.
If your issue isn't fixed by moving the item out of the Volumes folder or if it is an alias, create a new description in the authorization file like the one for com.apple.TestApp.benign, but with system.volume.unmount as the right.

Keep getting popup that says "Firefox requires that you type your Kerberos password"
While using Firefox, a window will start popping up asking me to type in my Kerberos password. The fields they give are for Name, Realm and Password.
Does anyone know how to make this stop? If I keep clicking "Cancel," it will eventually stop popping up, but it keeps me from doing any work until it stops. Besides, it is not happening to my coworkers workstation with the same set up.I have the same setup, and the same issue. I've gotten to the point where I don't use Firefox for anything anymore if I can help it, because I can't get rid of the popup. Clicking "Cancel" will only stop it for a while, but it'll eventually come back.
It's happening to my coworker as well, also on the same setup. Both of our issues started on the same day, maybe 3 weeks ago? -
After upgrading to Mavericks on my Mac Pro, mail always requires that I type in my password when launching. How do I change that?
If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
Step 1
When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
Step 2
Check that the keychain is working.
Step 3
Check that the default keychain is unlocked. -
I am trying to transfer files from my old pc to my new mac. When I go to migration assistant, and hit the continue button on the introductory screen, I get a message that says M Asst wants to make changes - type your password to allow this. What is my password or how do I set one up for this?
When you set up your Mac you had to enter a admin password to set up your user account.
If you did not enter one then try using the "blank window" as your password. ie Just hit return with nothing entered.
If that does not work try this reference:

Can Apple make an app or an update that makes you insert your password to turn your phone off? This can help deal with theft of iPhones because people take or find a iPhone, the first thing they do is turn the phone off.
They probably can do such s thing if they choose to do so.
Let them know that you would like this:

Not sure this is a very useful thing. It would run down the battery. All a thief has to do is remove them SIM and restore the iphone to stop it from being tracked. -
am trying to restore my Ipod touch 5 generation but I am receiving an error message that says your Ipod can not be restored you need your password I don't know my password so I don't know what to do. I have started the procedures 3 times but no luck till now
If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation -
"Type your password to allow Finder to make changes."

Why am I being prompted to do this 100% more often than I was in 10.5.x? It's been happening a lot when I move files from one folder into another.dechamp wrote:
I see this happen on occasion when moving files from a network drive or other computer. The files and folders don't have the proper permissions as I'm not the owner of the files. I usually put all the transferred files into a folder, get info and change the permissions to Read/Write and click on the gear icon to change the permissions to the same settings for all of the enclosed files and folders. This requires me to type the password once for all those files.
Where are the files coming from that you are trying to move?
You are awesome! That is exactly what I was doing. I had copied a folder from a network drive to install some files. Then I tried to delete the folder after the install. I was prompted with the message in this thread. I checked permissions and I did not have read/write privileges even though I was logged in as the admin both when copying and deleting. Thanks! -
I have a mac computer that uses no password. When installing flash player I get the message "Install adobe flash player wants to make changes Type your password to allow this. I can't get past this message.
Hi,
To change your password you will need to open System Preferences, then open Users & Groups, click on Change Password. Change your password to a temporary one, then when you have finished you do the same procedure to change it back, by typing in the temp password then leaving the new password blank. Hope this helps. -
Hello, my email is connected to Lotus Notes. When I updated my iPad to iOS 6, it REQUIRED that I have a password for the iPad or else my email wouldn't work or synchronize with Lotus Notes (on my work laptop). This is really frustrating, because I cannot disable the password under General<Passcode. Thanks!
This would almost certainly be a setting that is being enforced by your company. You'll need to talk to them about this.

I loaded Mac OS X v10.7 Lion yesterday. Everything’s running fine, except for a simple problem. Any time I want to copy a file, JPEG, etc., I am prompted “Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.” I don’t want this!! Is there a way to unlock “Finder” or rid this process?
Back up all data.
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. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
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:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then 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. -
"Adobe Acrobat Pro [or whatever] wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
No doubt this is the wrong forum for this question, but there really does not appear to be "the" appropriate forum.
Every time I open Adobe Acrobat Pro, which I just installed, as well as other Adobe products, such as Photoshop, which I've used for a while, a dialog appears with the message, "Adobe Acrobat Pro [or whatever] wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
I searched in the forums here and saw that other users have had similar problems, but didn't find a solution. It obviously is annoying to have to enter my password every time I open Adobe products. Could someone tell me what is going on and how I can fix it?
My OS is Mac Lion.
Thank you.Do you have Acrobat 9?
If yes, please try following steps:
1. Repair your current Acrobat installation
a. Launch Acrobat
b. Go to Help->Repair Acrobat Installation
c. Check all the components and press Continue
Missing components will be repaired
2. Now, update your Acrobat.
Go to Help->Check for updates
Update your Acrobat to latest version i.e. 952
3. Again , Launch Acrobat. Acrobat would ask credentials for the first time.
4. Quit Acrobat and launch Acorbat again. Acrobat should not ask for credentials now and for all subsequent launches . Please reply if you see a different behavior. -
Desktop to Trash Problem: "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
Suddenly today I get a dialog box stating "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this," whenever I attempt to drag a file from the desktop into the Trash on the dock. How can I stop this and return to a normal function of dragging desktop files into the trash? Thanks in advance.

Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it.

Finder wants to make changes. type your password to allow this
Hi everyone,
OS Type : Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3
Application : Finder ?
Context : The Mac is connected to our Active Directory and there are some network shares also connected to the Mac.
Issue : The following message pop-ups randomly when the user tries to rename/create a folder/file on a mapped disk.
Message : Finder wants to make changes. Types your password to allow this.
I Insist this problem is completly random and to solve that, you need to restart the Mac and then the exact same folder can be renamed,etc...
Thanks for any suggestions.Boot to your recovery partition or boot media (hold option while booting).
Open 'Reset Password' utility
Choose the affected user name from the drop down menu.
In the bottom-right corner, click the 'Reset' button to set your ACL permissions.
Restart.
Now see if the issue is resolved. Should be. -
Have mac book pro, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I get this after start up: "Completer wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this" (which I have not entered. When I cancel, there is some unknown "installer" icon on my desktop. If I move it to the trash, this all just starts over on the next time it is restarted. Have screenshots, but for some reason I can not attach to this message right now. Heard this is malware...HELP!
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.
