Boss ask me to do something I feel is against security standards

There are alot of different reasons this is a big no. Not saying you would but what if something crashed or a mass network issue occured and it was rooted back to his login? Also with this if this employee is doing something he could easily point it back to you and on top of all this if there is a policy in place that IT has made for this type of scenario you guys need to lead by ex\ample and follow the same rules that you put in place for others.

So my boss has asked me to do something that I feel is ethically wrong and violates network security. I work for a college and I've been working on a SCCM project. Due to the schools policy my job title doesn't give me the rights to logon to servers and do or make any changes. Mind you I'm a very capable system admin. During this project there are errors that require someone to go on the server and fix them.The project lead has told my boss to give me the rights to do what I need to fix the problems, my boss is telling me that he has to get permission to give me the rights to logon, but has yet done so. So far he has logged on to the servers with his credentials at my workstation and allowed me to work on the server under his login.This feels wrong and against security standards that I have come to know and upheld myself as a system...

Every time I ask Siri to find something near me, she says that she cannot find my location, and to turn on my location settings and siri settings. These are both on and after rebooting it still doesn't work. How do I fix this?

Every time I ask Siri to find something near me, she says that she cannot find my location because I need to turn on location services in the settings menu and in siri. These are both on, and after rebooting my phone it still doesn't work correctly. How do I fix this?

No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.

Firefox is interrupting a search I am doing, asking me to do something my computer won't do.

I was searching in the files for registration of deeds and other information for my new house, and Firefox took over my screen and told me to download some files and update adobe, etc. It asked me to do something I can't do, which is download anything to do with executive files, as I do not have this function on my computer. i.e. I do not have "office" on my computer, yet the message insists I do. I repeated my attempt to search the files on my property transaction many, many times, and was blocked every time.
I finally got what I needed by driving to the courthouse and asking for the documents they have on line. No problem whatsoever, but it was a long drive to get there.

Have you tried (re)installing Silverlight?

If that doesn't/didn't work, try clearing history and website data (in Safari: check the History menu and scroll all the way down).

TS4079 Siri used to ask me to say or do something upon activation, she now only speaks after I ask her to do something, how can I get her back?

I've never had Siri ask me anything when I pressed the home button, only when I asked her to do something. Check your settings in Preferences>General>Siri>Voice Feedback. Make sure it's set to always. That may fix your issue.

HT1339 When I click restore, it opens another window asking me to open something. What am I supposed to open? Why doesn't it just restore it?

It won't just restore my iPod. It opens a little window asking me to open something else. I don't know what it is that I'm supposed to open so I can't restore my iPod. What do I do?

Iss it possible that you are "right clicking" on the mouse? Go to System Preferences / Mouse and check the settings there are correct?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

My boss has asked me to get our recent purchase of Adobe Design Standard v6 on disc

As usual trying to get in contact with anyone at a large IT corporation is proving to be quite problematic. Any solutions? Who would I contact? What Department? Any e mail address?

it would be a lot easier to burn your own disk using downloaded installation files,

Download and installation help for Adobe links

My Firefox icon now says Wei? Why? Windows asked me to update something and I hit yes and then this happened. What does it mean?

I accepted a download from windows and now my Icon says Wei? Did I download a virus or was it one of those fishing things? Should I uninstall the program and reinstall it?

I presume these are all external, non-NAS drives? Have you tried disk utility repair disk and repair permissions?

My brother gave me his iphone, i created my apple id in order to download application from istore but its asking me to purchase something before i dont understand

I need to know what i must do to download

No, because you cannot go back to iOS 6 once you have upgraded the phone to iOS 7. It is not possible to downgrade.
There is nothing that you can do until you get in contact with your brother and get him to remove all his details from iCloud etc and then you will be able to activate it.
You have come up against the activation lock on the phone that is there to prevent theft - contact your brother and get him to remove his details and then you can use the phone, but until then you have a phone that you will not be able to use whatever you do and you cannot go back to iOS 6 - it is just not possible.

Since loading 5 I keep being redirected to sites I don't want instead of going where I ask; firefox prevents some, but I feel like I am undar a denial of service attack.

Problem started with download of Firefox 5. It is now almost impossible to follow a link or perform a search with any search engine without being redirected to other sites.

How could you have upgraded your IOS and be on IOS 7.0.6? I'm skeptical about your movie claim - my guess is that you were unknowingly streaming them from the getgo unaware that they weren't on your iPad. I suppose there may be an "escape clause" in Apple's update routine that is invoked when a device doesn't have enough memory to carry out an update whereby movies are swapped out to hoover up more memory. Personally I've never heard of this occurring In Apple World. Why does your cheap phone outperform your iPad "in every category"? There's no good reason - you obviously have numerous issues that are easily resolvable if you follow Philly's advice.

When I go to buy something it makes me answer security questions I don't remember and when I try to reset them it doesn't email me a link?

I got a $25 itunes card and loaded it onto my account no problem, then I go to buy some music and it makes me answer security questions I don't remember so I requested for the link to reset them (I've done it numerous times many days in a row) and the link never sends. I've also done many things on the apple website and tried using the itunes store on my laptop and nothing is working. Help?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
