Blank admin login box?

Has anyone seen this before? My wife's MacBook Pro has been doing this for some months now. It prompts her login credentials when something is changed in system preferences or like this one, an update from Adobe. thank you!

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

Product number CQ183A can not access setting in EWS keeps asking for admin login and password.

I installed the printer everything works until I try to access certain settings in the Embedded Web Server. I pops up a box asking for admin login. Initially, the status page claimed the Admin password was set even though I never set that up. Through chatting with tech support rests cleared this, it is now reporting Not Set. However, I still can not login to check/change settings etc.
I think this printer had been purchased then returned to the store because the manual was missing. I downloaded the manual and did not find any mention of how to access the password settings. So far tech support has not been able to answer my question,
Is there a default?
How do I access the EWS settings -> security to setup a password?

Hello MREnder,
From what I am reading, you may need to call in to get a factory reset done. These resets can only be done over the phone. You can find the number at eprintcenter.com under the support section.

User logins fail; admin login is okay

I'm running 10.3.9 all the latest updates on a 1 Ghz DP G4 with 1Gig RAM.
Admin login works fine; three user logins go nowhere... beachball just spins and I have to power off the comp to get out.
If I log in as Admin user and switch to another login, password is accepted but the desktop remains blank.
Running the comp in target mode, I can see the files of the various users.
Disk Utility looses connection (as mentioned in another post), not certain if this is also an iTunes update issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
1Ghz DP G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

After following the information to move iTunes to the desktop, I was able to run Disk Utilities and repaired persmssions.
However, there was no change in the ability for users to login. These users are managed, not standard.
I reinstalled OS 10.3 in archive mode, checked logins (which were fine) and installed the 10.3.9 update. Logins are broken again.
I can change the users to standard and they can login with no problem, but the moment I restrict anything (such as cannot change the dock) the logins fail.
Changing the users to standard allows logins; make them managed and they fail.
Certainly seems like a permissions issue, but repairing permissions does no good.
Any suggestions other than doing a clean install?

Admin Login Gone, Guest Acct Only...

I did a healthy search on my little problem here and mine appears to be a little different from the rest.
I have my MacBook pro (Running the latest ver. of Tiger) set so that i need to authenticate my login and pass every time I open up the laptop or I deactivate the screensaver.
Today, I opened'er up and for some reason my login and password didn't work. I thought that was weird and I rebooted (Ctrl-Opt-Power Button). Low and behold my Admin Login was gone! I only have access to this Guest Account that I created a while back.
So, I login to the Guest Account and check out the Accounts Panel in System Preferences and nothing comes up. I click the button and the window hangs ("Loading Accounts" appears at the top, but nothing happens). I click 'Show All' to return to all the icons and then click Accounts and the window renders, but it's completely blank.
*I did a lot of searching and I found the single-user-mode-using-NetInfo-Manager solution* and that didn't do anything. After I do the +"nicl -raw..."+ command, nothing seems to happen. While I was in Single User Mode, in the shell, I checked out my Users folder and my Account is still there.
So, bottom line, I only have access to an unprivileged Guest Account and OS X can't seem to boot so I can see my Admin Account. I would much rather not reinstall OS X since I have a lot of graphic design, music and a lot of my photography work in that account.

So what are we looking for with these "nicl" commands? I take it that the above is probably bad news somehow.
nicl is the "NetInfo Command Line" interface. I wanted to see why you were getting the "ni_listprops: No such directory" message, and it is telling me that although the /users part of the NetInfo hierarchy exists, it seems to have lost the entries for your two real users.
We could put them back, tediously, using nicl, but who knows what other "users" are missing. So your best bet is to restore the NetInfo Database. Funnily enough I just posted how to do this for another user. You might want to read Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server: How to Replace the NetInfo Database to help understand the instructions that follow (this is a more-or-less standard post I keep for this situation). Note you've already got your list of UIDs versus Users: 501 is Ghostmeat, and 502 is Guest.
Your NetInfo database is corrupt. so we will need to give you a new one. This involves re-creating the user accounts, and the order in which they are created matters. I recommend you print this out in a largish mono-spaced font so you don't miss any spaces (or add extra ones). Note that case is important.
Start up in Single User Mode and type carefully, with a return at the end of each line:/sbin/fsck -y
Repeat the above until it says your disk is OK. Then:
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /var/db/netinfo
mv local.nidb/ local.nidb.bad
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
ls -ln /UsersThis last command will give you one line for each user, plus one for the "Shared" directory, which doesn't interest us. Each user will have a line like one of these:
<pre>drwxr-xr-x 29 501 501 986 Jan 17 18:38 michaelc
drwxr-xr-x 14 520 20 476 Sep 10 2004 jdoe</pre>The second numeric field (501, 520) is the user ID (UID) and you need to list the uids against the shortname s given in the final column. Make sure you get the name right for UID 501! Then continue with
rebootWhen you restart, you should get the Setup Assistant, just as if it was a new machine. You will be prompted for all of your user information. Be careful to use the same short name as previously for user 501.
If there are any further users, these can be added, in the order of their UIDs, i.e. 502, 503 …, using System Preferences > Accounts. Again, be careful to use the same shortname. If there are any gaps in the UID sequence 501, 502, … you will need to create dummy users to fill them. These can later be deleted.
Post back if you need further help, and to let us know how you get on!

Do i need a separate appleID and password for itunes store, icloud and app store apart from my admin login and password?

after having my mbp upgraded with new m.lion by apple tech service i noticed that applications like iphoto, garageband and imovie are gone
researched online and was told that i had to acess the `purchase` via AppStore where it asks me to log in with Apple ID and password
i used the usual admin login and password and didnt work, also on itunes and icloud the similar case
do i need to register with a separate appleID and password for itunes store, icloud and app store apart from my admin login and password?

Just use the same Apple ID and password that you used to access this forum - that's your Apple ID.
The user name and password on your computer has nothing to do with your Apple ID.
Good luck,

On android tablet/phone login box fails to appear to enable access to password protected files. says' unable to open file. try again later'. This only occurs where Adobe is already installed

On all the android devices we have where Adobe reader has been installed, no login box appears to enter a password where this is required to read the file. A message comes up saying the file cannot be accessed at this time, and to try again later. The box does however appear where Adobe isn't installed, but as soon as Adobe is installed in order to read the file, it becomes inaccessible again. What do I need to do.

Hi,
Are you trying to open a password protected pdf? Could you please forward the file to [email protected] so that we may investigate?
Thanks,

Whenever I launch firfox through non admin login, I get an alert message.

Whenever I open firefox through non admin login, I get following alert message. "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features."
After this, firfox opens but whenever I go to any web page having secure connection like orkut, facebook etc. firefox crashes. It works normally through admin login.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I suppose this started when I updated it to latest version i.e. 3.6.8 ==

CRASH REPORT
Product: Adobe Photoshop CC
Application running on:
Apple iMac 3.5GHz late 2013 / Mavericks 10.9.2
Application crashes without warning. Symptom: Drop down boxes go blank white (I shot screen captures of blank drop down boxes) and application stops working, actions for appox. 10 minutes preceding crash are lost. Force Quit required to quit unresponsive / frozen application and then Restart of Adobe Photoshop CC
Crash Frequency: Three time in this work day, 5.6.14 Once a day sporadically (approximately 10 times) in past two weeks.
Other applications running at time of crashes: Adobe Bridge - NOT effected. Computer was on line with no browsers open.
Otherwise computer continued to operate normally.
I have been using Adobe Photoshop CC for approximately two months.

Thanks, Chris,
I hope that this is the solution.
re: "And a crash report without an actual crash report (a long, detailed text document available from the crash report dialog), is not all that useful" :
I did in deed submit a homemade crash report.
I would have submitted "an actual Crash Report " and sooner, but: When this event occurs. there are NO dialog boxes. All frozen / blank. No possibility of "actual crash report" !
Thank you!

I am able to delete or add row in report(on same page), but whenever I click on delete or Add button, application ask for Admin username and password. Afte giving username/password, operation gets successful. But I dont want this login page to pop after clicking delete or add button.

To tackle this problem,I tried entering following in OPTIONAL URL REDIRECT in Delete button.

Please help me to get rid of Admin login Pop up.

IViews throwing exception from Non Admin Login?

Hi,
I have created some iViews using .Net PDK for SAP.
I have added these iViews to a page. Then the page is added to workset. I have created a new role and assigned this workset to the new Role. Then I have created a new User and associated this user with the newly created Role.
Now the problem is whenever I login to portal using new user name and password I am able to see the workset as well as page and iViews. But these iViews are throwing following exception.
An Error occurred while processing one of the iViews on this page in the .NET server.
More information:
1. Default Trace
Exception id: 10:37_04/10/05_0037_6409650
However these iViews are running properly when I preview them from admin login.
What are possible causes/solutions for the above mentioned behavior?
Thanks for suggestions
Regards,
Vikas Khandpur

Hi Vikas
You should use the Permission Editor to assign user, group and role permissions to portal objects.
You can launch the Permission Editor in two ways:
1. Using the central Permission Editor
a. Choose System Administration ® Permissions.
b. Locate the folder or object you want to assign or edit permissions for, right-click it and choose Open ® Permissions from the context menu.
2. Using the object-specific Permission Editor
a. Launch the relevant administration tool or editor in the portal.
b. In the Portal Catalog, locate the object or folder to want to set or edit permissions for. Then, do one of the following:
i. Right-click the object and choose Open ® Permissions from the context menu.
ii. Open the object in the editor, and from the Display menu or drop-down list, choose Permissions.
To know how to set permissions in the permission editor, please refer to the following thread.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f6/2604db05fd11d7b84200047582c9f7/content.htm
As for your doubt on why you are able to view the iViews from an administrator's login,it is because The standard super administer role is assigned maximum access to the entire set of portal initial content. The Super Administrator role is assigned by default to the Administrators group. Therefore, initially all standard administrator users have super administrator permissions in the portal.
Hope that helped.
Best Regards
Priya

Dreamweaver CS5 will not open. It shows the splash screen and terminates with non admin login

Dreamweaver CS5 will not open. It shows the splash screen and terminates with non admin login but works fine with admin login.
OS - WinXP Sp3
Things I tried.
1) Gave full rights on dreamweaver folder in program files.
2) Disabled welcome screen
3) Updated to Dreamweaver CS5 11.0.4
4) Reinstalled
5) Formated PC
But issue persists, please help.

Have you tried deleting or renaming the Dreamweaver configuration file?
See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
This can solve many problems and create one in that any snippets that are installed are lost, but you can get them back. Instead of deleting the config file, just name it config.old. When your system is working, just copy the snippets from the .old file to the new one.
