Can't access pw protected Mac (lost bluetooth connection)

I connected my bluetooth keyboard to another Mac and when I disconnected it it wouldn't reconnect back to my original one.  It has a password on it and as I have no USB or traditional keyboard I'm locked out of my computer.  My magic track pad still connects,  I'm just wondering if there's anything I don't know about that would allow me to access the bluetooth preferences and establish a connection despite the password prompt apart from going out to buy a USB keyboard.

Just wanted to let you know that I have the EXACT SAME problem, except it is affecting my password protected iWeb site and my Gallery. I can view it from Firefox, so that is the web browser I am using now. I sent a bug report to Apple, and I also send them a request for help using e-mail, but so far I have gotten no response. Hopefully someone is working on the fix?

  • Can't access password protected .Mac Web Gallery

    Safari is my primary browser. I have been creating web galleries using iLife '08 and my .Mac account and then viewing them with Safari for the past month or so with no trouble. This weekend I tried creating a password protected web gallery and it won't load in Safari. The gear icon just spins forever and has timed out when I have left it alone long enough. My other web galleries continue to load just fine. Clicking on the link from within iPhoto for my password protected gallery doesn't work, typing the url into Safari doesn't work, going to my gallery index and clicking on the icon of the "locked" gallery doesn't work, etc. I can still view all of my other web galleries, but this one that I'm trying to protect just won't load.
    This actually appears to be a Safari problem. I don't get a dialog asking for User Name and Password. The url works just fine using Firefox on my Mac, and it also works on a PC running Windows XP. When using something other than Safari, I get the prompt for User Name and Password that I would expect. Upon entering that information, everything looks normal and works just fine.
    Tsk tsk Apple! Safari shouldn't be having trouble displaying protected .Mac web galleries. Sheesh!

  • Can't access Password Protection Manager on my External Hard Drive to unlock it

    I can't access password protection manager on my External Hard Drive to unlock it , I got updated antivirus and I always use safely remove to remove the hard drive. I see the UNLOCK APP Drive, and the Public Area, but when I run the "Password Protection Manager.exe" file at UNLOCK APP Drive, the bar will just be fulfilled by approximately 60% by showing "Loading...", then it stops for many seconds, and it starts to run the Installation file (PasswordProtectionManagerSetup_F.exe) which will delete all unlocked files if I accept it to install.

  • Can't access youtube on Mac, no error message - just blank page

    I can't access youtube in firefox. There is no error message. I'm using leaopard on a mac.When I type in youtube.com, nothing happens, the page is completely blank. youtube works in safari. other websites work fine. Works in safari, just not firefox.
    I tried many of the solutions offered for not being able to access youtube but no solution so far. I have uninstalled flash and realplayer and disabled noscript and some plug-ins and still nothing. If I try to access youtube without these items, I don't even get a page saying that I need the flash plug-in, it's just blank. I have re-installed an older version of flash, 11.2. flash was an still is working fine on other sites, I have re-installed firefox. I have tried things like using html5, nothing works. I have read through these help pages and found nothing that helps so far.
    Please help, I have been trying to figure this out for a week and am at my wits end. I need to be able to access youtube in firefox.

  • How can I access the protected inherited method

    Hi guys:
    I know I can use getDeclaredMethod to get some methods,but my question how can I get a protected inherited method? for example
    class A{
    protected void test(){}
    class B extends A{
    public String getValue(){}
    class C{
    public static void main(Strin[] args){
    //at here I want to access "test" method by reflection,but I dont know how?
    thanks advance!

    Indeed it does. If you want to find the declared methods of the superclass then you should be able to figure out how to do that: find the superclass, find its declared methods.

  • Can't access mail in .mac program

    Please help!!! As of 2 days ago, when I go to mac.mail program, I can't access any mail in inbox. I can go through the apple/mac program to see my mail. When I go into mail, it just shows an empty box. I can't get into any of the other folders either. And when I want to close mail, I have to force quiet. Any suggestions? I am sitting here in Yemen and have no access to Apple help.
    Thanks for any help you can give me!

    I don’t fully understand what you say. What are the “mac.mail” and the “apple/mac” programs? Are you saying that you have a .Mac account and that it works fine on the web, but Mail has some problems? Or do you mean something else?
    How many mail accounts do you have what type are they (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?

  • Just updated to osx, can't access quicken for Mac anymore

    I just uploaded OSX to my I-Mac. I like the upgrade but it does not support quicken for Mac 2007 and suddenly I cannot access it. I can purchase quicken essentials for Mac but need to know how I can access the old records and transfer them to the new program. The new upgrade will not open the old files. Do I need to remove the upgrade first?

    Quicken has an upgrade for Qicken that will run on a Mac. It is not Quicken Essentials, as far as I know.

  • My iMac lost Bluetooth connections for keyboard an d keypad how can I reset it?

    First the keypad list it's Bluetooth connection then when I used the Bluetooth assistant it lost the keyboard .  How can I re establish connections?  Batteries are good.

    If you connect the iPod to the computer (with the iTunes library) that was previously used to sync the iPod, it should unlock.  If that's not possible, you should be able to connect the iPod to the current computer, and use the current iTunes library to Restore the iPod.  The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the iPod and give it a fresh start.
