Cannnot change password settings since 18.0 upgrade.

I recently upgraded & now there is a check mark in "Remember passwords for sites". When I open my browser my home page appears with new window from Symantec (my protection program). The Symantec window tells me I have my password management on, which I want to use. Then it asks if I want to turn off the browsers built in password manager. I select yes. After I close the browser and then later open it I get the same message. So I went to the settings in the Firefox Options window. The box and text "Remember passwords for sites" is lighter then the rest in the window and it will not allow me to remove the check-mark.
I have used my Symantec program with Firefox for several years. This issue came with the upgrade. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Windows 7
Firefox 18

If you confirm that you want Norton to turn off the browsers built in password manager then obviously Norton will disable this feature and prevent you from using the Firefox Password Manager. 
They may be blocking some prefs that will prevent you from changing it, so you need to deny if you want to control this yourself.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Changing Password Settings

How do I change the password settings on my Mac, so that when I download something or do other administrative actions, I don't have to enter my password?
Thanks

If you have the original "restore" disc that came with your Mac or a Mac OS X installation disc, you should be able to boot from it by holding down the "C" key during rebooting, then choose the option to reset your password from one of the menus.

How to change password settings for a WLAN connect...

Hi,
I tried to connect my N95 to the office's wireless network, but I typed a wrong password. Now, every time I try to connect to the WLAN, it doesn't allow me, because the password is wrong. The password is now saved in the memory and my N95 never asked for it again.
I looked all over and couldn't find a way to set a new password. How can I do it?
Thanks in advance.

menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Access points
Select your WLAN access point, hit "Options", then "Edit". Scroll down to "WLAN security settings", hit the center key (or Options > Chnge) and the rest should be fairly obvious.

I can not, "pick" in Options window - Privacy panel, to change "passwords" settings

In Options window - Privacy panel, if I pick them, nothing execute, I need see my passwords .
Thank you

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Since upgrading to the newest version of ios 8, I can no longer share my photos on facebook. I have tried going to setting-photos, but the facebook app does not show up for me to change the settings. Any suggestions?

when you opened the shared library with the newer version of iPhoto (iPhoto '11) you were given a warning that your library would be converted and could not be used by older versions - you clicked ok to go ahead - there is no updo available - either upgrade to iphoto '11 of the MBP or load your backup of the iPhoto '09 library on it - older versiopns of i{Photo can not read newer libraries

Changing printer settings no longer works - requesting lpadmin password!

When pressing the _"Pause Printer"_ button, or changing printer settings, I get a dialog box come up saying:
*Type the name and password of a user in the "lpadmin" group to allow Photosmart C4500 series (HPF615EE).app to make changes.*
I have typed my username and password in several times, to no avail. I am the only administrator on this computer. Apparently I am not a member of this "lpadmin" group, and have never seen it before in my life!
What do I do?
(? Possibly since upgrading to 10.5.7 ?)

I am having the same problem. When I use the fix posted by John Blanchard, I "A Directory Service error occured"
My output of the "dscl" command is a little different

So what changes do I need to make to John's terminal commands to fix my problem.
Thanks.

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
The default settings mean that cookies are enabled and thus should work.

I cannot get emails to download to my Thunderbird site, though I have not changed any settings or passwords, and I can still access my Xfinity email.

I have talked to Comcast support and Comcast Security Assurance, and they tell me that the problem I am having with my Thunderbird email is a problem with Thunderbird and Mozilla since I can access my Xfinity account with no problems. On my Thunderbird email site, it says that it is connected to Comcast.net with my correct email, and that it is "downloading 1 of 19 emails", but they never come through. My husband and I use the same computer, but have separate email accounts. His is working fine. I checked all the port connections etc with Comcast, and they are all set up the same. We have not changed passwords or anything else on our email sites, and have been using this email program for 11 months, since we bought this new computer. It is a Dell OptiPlex 960 with Windows 7, and we have had no problems with email up to this point. I am thoroughly frustrated at this point and don't know what else to do. I understand there is no phone number to connect with Thunderbird......I am a 67 year old "non techie" female, so I would appreciate suggestions for me to follow be simple an explanatory! Thanks.

First, is the Mute switch activated?
Mute switch is above the volume buttons on the left side of iPhone.
If you see red/orange color the the mute is ON.
Also check Settings > Sounds > for New mail, Text Tone, etc.. have sound entries?
If that's not the case try
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

Before using the current Mac version Yosemite, I did not have an Administrator password. It seems now that one is required to unlock and make changes in settings. I have tried all my usual passwords but to no avail. any ideas???

Boot into Recovery. OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
Select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
At the prompt type,
resetpassword
Hit return.
Follow the prompts in the utility to select hard drive, then user.
Reset the password.
Exit the utility and restart.
You will need to log in with your new password, but your keychain will not be reset.
I’m not sure what access you’ll have to the old keychain since it didn’t have a password. You may be able to get into the keychain and reset the password to match your login password.

I can no longer send iCal invitations. I have not changed any settings, passwords or email accounts. No idea what to do.

Greetings,
Questions:
What happens when you put in an email address in an event? (Make sure the email address is also in your addressbook (Macintosh HD > Applications > Addressbook)
Are you using calendars that show up under "On My Mac" on the left hand side of iCal or are the calendars under a different heading?
Troubleshooting:
Make sure that you can send / receive email in the Apple Mail program.
Make sure that the email address in Mail > Preferences > Accounts is also on your Addressbook card:Go to Addressbook > Card > Go to My Card -- The email address you are using to send receive messages on your computer should be on this card.
If that doesn't take care of it:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

I have recently moved all of my files to a larger external hard drive, but when I am reminder of an itunes upgrade it's still attempting to go to the old drive. How can I change the settings so it automatically goes to my new hard drive?

Email send/receive suddenly doesn't work ; can't change email settings as BB phone won't accept valid username and password -- what to do?

email send/receive suddenly doesn't work (as of September 24th); I can't change email settings (one suggestion from tech) as BB phone won't accept *valid* username and password -- what to do?
I understand from a support note that if I keep trying my password/username combination, my BB will eventually delete all data!
I can't understand this. I'm completely lost now. I can't remember what I've done or tried to do. A plethora of usernames and passwords is swimming in my head.
Thanks for any hints. I have always loved this BB Bold and have never had any trouble with it.

But the real question is why for the past year did the passwords work and then all of the sudden after this anomaly the disk password doesn't work? I'm not 100% sure of what my configuration was, but I know that most of the time it required one password -- supervisor, and occasionally it asked for 2 -- disk password as well I believe. This may have been related to the Password on Restart setting I think -- asking for the disk password on cold vs. warm boot. But I know both were exactly the same. But after this incident only the Supervisor password worked.

Why does FireFox change layout/settings during upgrades without asking ?

Just upgraded to Firefox 18 (windows 7 desktop). Why does Firefox change layouts/settings without asking the user if he wants it or not???
I am getting sick of those changes. I want to have at the google main page the options (as before) to search in all languages, or pages from a certain language or pages in a certain language (of course depening of the google address; f.i. at google.de for german languages, google.fr for french languages etc).
In the latest Firefox 17 it was working as I wanted and described before: when I visited www.google.de/firefox of www.google.fr/firefox. Now those 3 options (under the search bar) are gone and I do not want to operate by clicking on the advanced search button. Those things should be visible under the search bar again.
Also my STARTPAGE was GONE/DELETED after the update !!! Grrrrr.... Updating is OK but mozilla should not change user configured items !!!!!!!
The above described problem has nothing to do with the google website.

By the way, do Firefox and IE use the same proxy settings? You can view Firefox's here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > "Network" mini-tab > "Settings" button
The default is "Use system proxy settings".

How do I change the settings for when a password must be entered? I currently have to submit every time itunes opens, every time I want to access the store etc!??

Every time I open itunes I have to put in my password, I also have to enter my password to access the store, my account etc even though I have already entered it on openening the programme - it is extremely annoying!! I'm sure there must be a way to change the password settings but I can't seem to find how! Any help would be much appreciated!

Check the settings in Gmail for whether each email opens in a new tab or the same tab.
