Bluetooth keys recognised but get prompt for wired mouse??

I have a G5 10.4.11 and finally got my wireless Apple keyboard recognised by typing the code prompt fine.
I use a WIRED mouse at the moment, and everytime I turn on, I get a prompt for setting up a BLUETOOTH mouse?? when i already have a wired one plugged in?!
How can I disable this prompt so that it uses a wireless keyboard and WIRED mouse ok?
I have to unplug and plug in my usb mouse cable for it to go away!!

Hello pitch:
Try trashing a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restarting.
Also, reset the PRAM:

I have a 3GS. Am trying to sync a plantronics explorer 232 Bluetooth headset and can't figure it out. I have Bluetooth turned on but it searches for devices and the headset never shows up. Anyone know exactly how to do this? My tech skills are lacking

I have a 3GS. Am trying to sync a plantronics explorer 232 Bluetooth headset and can't figure it out. I have Bluetooth turned on but it searches for devices and the headset never shows up. Anyone know exactly how to do this? My tech skills are lacking

I have the same blueparrott headset headset with the directions. Actually reading them just fixed my iphone pairing issue.
Here they are in case u still need them along with what I needed to do to get mine to work with iphone 4
Pair Headset with Phone
Turn off headset off
Hold down headset's MFB (large top button) until red & blue lights flash and you hear 2 rising tones, followed by 4 more tones. Must wait for all before you release the MFB button!! (I had my hubby hold the MFB while I waited for the tones since both come from the headset
Release the MFB and follow your phone's instructions to place it in 'bluetooth' discoverable mode. With the iphone4, go to "General" and then "Bluetooth" and turn indicator to "ON".
This is where my issue occurred as the phone could not find the bluetooth, although it worked with my LG phone. So after trying it several times thinking I was nuts and that the issue was with the iphone, I looked further in the blueparrot's directions and found this step that fixed the issue.
Reset Paired Devices List
On the bluetooth, press and hold down both the volume up & volume down buttons for 5-6 seconds. A double beep will be heard and the list will be reset. Pairing info for devices previously paired will be lost.
The bluetooth directions provide this as step 4 but that did not work for my phone (see below)
4. Once the phone discovers the headset, select "pair" and enter "0000" code and that when pairing is complete the blue light on the headset will stop flashing and phone will prompt you to 'connect'.
This is what I had to do after resetting the device list on my bluetooth
4. My iphone instanting discovered the headset and displayed it under 'Devices" but showed a message that it was 'not connected'. Once I selected the device on the iphone by pressing on it then it changed to "connected".
Even when I turn the bluetooth on and off the device remains on the list and alll I do is select it to connect and disconnect after I turn on my blueparrott bluetooth
I hope this helps others!

SAP R/3 -- Not getting prompted for password on Heterogeneous Sys. Copy

Thank you in advance. I am part of a project team that is testing the potential of moving from UNIX (AIX 5.3) to Linux (RHEL 4 or 5). We are running SAP R/3 on IBM P570 with DB2 v9.1 and when we run this program: Installation master sapinst
We are not getting prompted for the user password but when we run the same cd on a different system we get prompted for the user's password. Can anyone point me in the right direction on what is wrong? If you need more info let me know.
Thanks,

@ Sven & Markus
Well I have checked all the logs and there are no errors. What I have found out is that it successfully runs but there is 0 ouput, in essence it isn't exporting any data.
Here it shows that it completed successfully but in the export directory there isn't data when there should be.

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).

HT1766 How can I make a NEW backup WITHOUT getting prompted for a (forgotten) password?

Hello! 1st post here,
How can I backup iPhone A to iTunes and then restore into iPhone B without getting prompted for a backup password that I do no know or remember ever setting?
To clarify, I am not trying to read an encrypted backup. I would like to make a NEW backup but I do not want it to be encrypted as I do not know nor remember how a password was set in the 1st place. If I unclick the encryption checkbox, I am prompted to enter the password. Defeats the purpose of clicking on the box, no?
Thanks,
Henry

Have you tried deleting the encrypted back up?

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.

I keep getting prompted for my exchange password for my work email when I try to update

I keep getting prompted for my exchange password for my work email when I try to check/update for new emails. Any resolution other than "contact IT"?
Thanks

Enter the correct password in the account under Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.

I tried downloading adobe flash but it prompts for a password, which i don't have. any suggestions?

i tried downloading adobe flash but it prompts for a password. none of the passwords i have (including that which i use with apple) works. any suggestions?

You are prompted for a password before installing Flash? If so, this is your Mac's admin password, which doesn't have anything to do with your Apple ID unless you chose to use the same password for your computer admin login account as is used for your Apple ID.

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.

Why do I get prompted for permission to delete files or change file names?

One of several users (my wife) on our iMac has recently started getting prompted for the administrator password to delete, rename or perfrom other operations on files in her home directory. I suspect a corrupt set of user configurations files. How can I fix this?

Remove the ACLs from files/folders in her home folder. Log in to an admin account and enter the following in Terminal:
sudo chmod -R -N ~wife
(where "wife" is your wife's account's short name)

Keep getting prompt for serial number on Trial Acrobat XI Pro

The other day I purchased the upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro for US $199. After downloading and installing, the activation failed because my Acrobat Pro 9 serial number turned out to be Beta, and therefore not eligible for the upgrade.
So I uninstalled XI Pro, ran Adobe Uninstaller Tool, rebooted, then downloaded/installed Acrobat XI Pro Trial. But when I try to run Trial version, it keeps prompting me with the same Serial Number Upgrade dialog box that I got with the upgrade that didn't accept my Pro 9 serial number because it was Beta.
How do I prevent XI Pro Trial from prompting for Upgrade Serial Number so I can use Trial before buying? I have never been able to run the Trial version, and am getting desperate because I need to try that before I purchase.
Thanks in advance!! ~Carol

The prompt I receive is "left over" from the XI Pro UPGRADE version. There's a dropdown box where you choose the version you're upgrading from (Win Pro 9), then add the serial number, which is either approved or declined - in my case, declined because my Pro 9 was a Beta version (which I didn't know).
It's that Upgrade version dialog that keeps popping up when I try to get into the Trial version, forcing me to choose from the same list of versions as I did when trying to get into the Upgrade version.
If that dialog box left over from the Upgrade installation pops up with the Trial install, how do I know it won't also pop up if/when I purchase the Full version? I really want to get this all cleared up and working correctly (i.e., actually using the Trial version) before risking more trouble by introducing another element. No amount of Windows uninstalling plus Adobe Uninstaller Tool for all Acrobat products (plus, of course, rebooting) has overcome this.
And, just to be clear: I've never been able to "activate" the Trial version of Pro XI, so it's not like it's looking at this as a second install of Trial.
Meanwhile, I've again uninstalled all versions of Acrobat and reinstalled my Pro 9 to continue working on a project. But I know if I reinstall XI Pro Trial, that same dialog box from the Upgrade (forcing me to choose a version + serial number I'm upgrading from) will pop up, as I've been through that before.
The whole thing could have been avoided if only Adobe had forced me to enter the serial number for my Pro 9 BEFORE paying for, downloading and installing the XI Pro Upgrade.
Thanks for bearing with me on this. The one bright spot is that my refund for the Upgrade is being processed. ~Carol

Getting Prompt for Credentials When Opening InfoPath 2010 Form in Sharepoint 2010

I have a domain user who runs Office 2010 x32 and uses a Sharepoint 2010 site daily. Lately a specific page on that site has been randomly giving prompts for credentials when opening existing documents and creating new ones. The process can be most easily
replicated by opening the new document template in Infopath by going to Documents -> New in the ribbon bar of the SP page. Most of the time the Windows credentials for the user are passed to Infopath/Sharepoint automatically (which is normal), but on the
fourth or fifth attempt to create a new form, the prompt appears. The user can still enter the credentials and open the blank template form, but a prompt should not appear. The user is also the administrator for that page, so I'm thinking it's not a permissions
issue.
The user is running IE 9 on Windows 7 Pro x64. I have performed the following:
Reset advanced IE settings and all user cache data
Cleared cached Sharepoint credentials in Windows credential manager
Re-applied group policy for the machine using gpupdate /force
Logged in with a clean temporary profile
Logged in to another domain account using the user's Sharepoint credentials
Cleared Infopath cache
Re-installed Office 2010 x32
The problem only occurs only on this particular machine. There are no Sharepoint or authentication-related errors or warnings in the application and system event logs. There are also no error messages on-screen when the prompt appears. I also considered
the possibility of this being a performance related issue in the case that maybe Infopath was taking too long to start, causing the credential pass-through process to time out and fall back to a prompt. I ran disk cleanup, deleted some temporary files, and
checked for excessive CPU/memory load. I didn't find any issues and doing these things did not help.
I'm convinced there is another setting somewhere in Windows that is causing this. Interestingly it always happens after four or five attempts, never the first time. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi Titan, this sounds like an IE security setting issue. Things to do:
1. In Internet options>Security>Local Intranet, make sure "Enable Protected Mode" is not selected.
2. Under Sites>Advanced, add https://*.sharepoint.com (and make sure "Require server verification..." is not checked).
3. Under Security>Custom Level, scroll all the way to the bottom and make sure "Automatic logon with current user..." is checked.

Outlook clients get prompt for credentials

I have get the following strange problem that when the Exchange server restart and get back on-line my outlook clients all get prompt to enter their credentials. If they open and close Outlook it works until there is a lost in communication between Outlook
and Exchange. Everything work until a week or two ago and suddenly it just start to happen. All I did was to reset a few users passwords, but that was not a issue at that time and now sudden it seems to get worsted.
We run Exchange Server 2013 CU5 on Windows 2012 everything patched with Windows 7 Professional Clients either Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013 everything patched.
Any advice?
Thanks.

Hi,
Based on my experience, the credential issue has many reasons: improper authentication method, access public folder, connectivity issue, performance and so on.
Thus, to narrow down the cause, I'd like to confirm the following inforamtion before we can go further:
1. Does the issue happens on all your clients? randomly or regularly?
2. Check the connection status when the credential appears.
3. Check the authentication method of Outlook Anywhere: get-outlookanywhere |fl *auth*
Thanks,

Family sharing - kids get prompt for their iTunes account password for each purchase they make

so I have Family Sharing setup for my wife and kids.
My kids all have their own iCloud setup and the App/iTunes store is also logged in as themselves. (They don't have any CC info entered.)
My problem here is that when my 5 year old wants to download/purchase anything she gets a prompt for her AppleID password.. why is that when I'm the one who has to approve all purchases/download before anyways? This system doesn't seem to be "that" kid friendly when they have to enter a complex password every time they want to download/purchase anything.
Am I missing something? Is there a setting somewhere to disable or save password prompts for the App/iTunes store?

Have a look here...

Not getting prompt for 2nd layer when writing DLT

I am using DVDSP3. Trying to write a dual layer DVD-9. When I attempt to format it goes through the motions and writes both layers onto 1 tape. IFrom what I have read I am supposed to be prompted for the second tape. I have double checked my settings and they are all correct. I have marked for dual layer, one side, I let DVDSP set my breakpoint, 12 cm, OTP.
I have searched the forum and found that the question was posed before and a couple of people alluded to the fact that there was a fix for this but they couldn't remember. Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks in advance

Resolution- Either I just need a couple of days off or the drive was just being cranky but it is working now. I don't know if I turned things on in the wrong order before or what exactly made it work correctly but as we speak I am writing tape #2. So if anyone has this problem in the future make sure your tape is in securely and try powering everything back down and up. That's all I did.
