Creative Cloud installer wants to make changes, it won't accept my password, what can i do?

I recently had to replace the hard drive and had not backed up my apple iMac, I am trying to reinstall photoshop etc but I can't get past the type your password box. I have tried every possible password I have ever made!

Thanks! When they replaced my hard drive they left the password blank. I accidentally hit enter with no password typed in and it worked. So happy!
Thanks for your help

Suddenly I have problems moving files to the trash... get a dialog saying Finder wants to make changes and I must provide the password... Any explanation or ideas how I can get this to stop?

Suddenly I have problems moving files to the trash... get a dialog saying Finder wants to make changes and I must provide the password... Any explanation or ideas how I can get this to stop?

Please take these steps if you're prompted for a password when moving items in your home folder to the Trash.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

I want to make my G4-450 Dual faster.. what can i do???

G4 DP Firewire
768mb ram right now
30G internal HD
70G Lacie external
Running current Tiger
i use it for web, design and audio production.. running all the current apps like Photoshop, illustrator, flash, dreamweaver, reason, reycle, deck & peak..
things are working pretty good.. but i occationally get the spinning ball doing certin things in thr apps.. its funny, it happens with itunes VERY OFTEN, like when i chose a new song it can happen.. happens when clicking a new playlist sometimes.. and often when changing album info (sometimes when just clicking text to edit in itunes)
overall im pleased with the performance with my 6 year old G4.. but i dont have the cash to upgrade to a g5 just yet, and when i do it will be another $2400 tower like i did when mine came out..
so what is my bet options to upgrade my G4??
..is it true that i can get my ram up to 2G??? ..and would that improve things? ..should i think about getting a new processor upgrade?? ..are there any tips to get things faster without an upgrade??
thanks for any help guys!!!

Hello Patrick.
I own the same model of G4 as you and would like to make a few suggestions from my past experience. Karl Texler did a splendid job explaining things already, I just had a couple of things to add.
1st- Add RAM, but only 1.5GB. I had some wierd problems with my tower that ended up being having too much RAM (2GB) installed. Reducing it down to 1.5GB eliminated ALL these problems.(And in case anyone reading this was wondering, it wasn't a bad stick of RAM, just too much installed.)
2nd- Upgrade the HD. 7200RPM and 8MB Cache minimum. 120GB is the max internally on the ATA66 bus, unless you invest in a PCI controller card. In that case you could go PATA or SATA and as large a HD as you want. SATA is noticeably faster than PATA and probably the better investment. You will also be able to use the SATA in a newer computer down the road. BTW, you can clone your current internal drive onto the new drive quite easily.
3rd- Upgrade your video card. If you want Core Image support in Tiger, you will need an ATI 9600/9800. These cards will also benefit you if your a gamer. I would lean towards the 9600. Its cheaper, does not require an additional power source, and it runs cooler. If none of the above applies, an ATI 8500/9000 would be a good choice.
4th- Upgrade your CPU. As Karl said above, the G4 upgrades w/2MB L3 Cache are considered best for 100MHz bus Macs. My OWC has been flawless, although I did put a quieter fan on it. The original was annoyingly high pitched, now I can't even hear it.
I hope this helps you in your upgrading process. Please don't hesitate to ask for more info. I really enjoy the process of upgrading a computer. Dare I say Macs AND PC's. Yes, I own and enjoy both for their respective qualities.
Happy Mac'ing.

Creative cloud wants to make changes

I get an annoying popup that tells me "Creative Cloud wants to make changes" and asks for my CC password. But when I enter the password it won't accept it. But if I press CANCEL, the popup returns in five seconds. I know the password is correct because I can log into CC and also my adobe account.
I thought maybe it was a virus, but if so, it has infected both my work and home Macs. The only way to rid myself of this popup (which sits on top of everything) is to quit creative cloud. I have asked Adobe for help but they've shrugged their shoulders.
Anyone else had this issue?

catker, you might be right about the latest InDesign update. My Mac's /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/Adobe InDesign 9.2.1 log file tells me that I Installed the InDesign update on 3/25/14, which is around the time I started seeing Creative Cloud requesting my password everytime I booted up. I've recently opened the Mac's Console utility and watched it as I enter the password when Creative Cloud asks for it. What I see is this:

As you can see, there are lots of crashes of a process called ExManEscalatedPrivilegeServer, whose crash reports tell me that its parent process is Creative Cloud Helper:
Process:         ExManEscalatedPrivilegeServer [786]
Path:            /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Creative Cloud/*/ExManEscalatedPrivilegeServer
Identifier:      ExManEscalatedPrivilegeServer
Version:         7.1.2.17 (7.1.2.17)
Code Type:       X86-64 (Native)
Parent Process: Creative Cloud Helper [406]
and also lots of repeated references to Adobe Extension Manager .mxi files in the folder /Library/Application Support/Adobe/InDesign/Version 9.0/en_US/Extensions/REMOVED_CC/, which I'm guessing are components of InDesign replaced by the latest InDesign CC updater.
I don't really know what any of this means, other than I see it happening every time I've opened Console after I've booted up and Creative Cloud requests my password, and repeated references to ExManEscalatedPrivilegeServer and old pieces of InDesign tucked away in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/InDesign/Version 9.0/en_US/Extensions/REMOVED_CC/ folder.

Unable to download apps with creative cloud installer

Trying to download an app, I get a window that reads Installer wants to make changes type password to allow, after carefully typing in the correct password the installer window does not work. Why isn't the installer working?

Hi JeffCingy
I would suggest to try downloading the Creative Cloud app manager with a different browser like Google Chrome and clear the browsers cache.
Here is a network troubleshooting page if you are having issues with downloading the software. Check your hosts file.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html
The link that Rajshree provided is good to go thru for troubleshooting.
Let us know if you are still not able have the CC app working for you.
Thanks

I can't get Creative Cloud Installer to work

When I get to "down load CC" I get a request for my pass word in order to allow Creative Cloud Installer to "make changes." I've tried every password I can think of, but it won't let me reset it. How do I reset the password? thank

Hi Darbymom,
I believe the message that you are getting is for your MAC password and not Adobe password. Have you tried entering your system password at the download screen ? Reason why this prompt comes up is because , the download file is trying to make the required changes on the machine so that the installation can proceed .
Cheers,

Network Setup wants to make changes...

My MacBook keeps bringing up a dialog box with:
"Network Setup wants to make changes. Please type in your password..." etc
Why is my computer trying to make changes? What does it have to do with the network (Airport is turned off. I'm only coneected to wireless internet). Why is it so persisitant?
Its really annoying me.

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account to see if you can install it there. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

How do i open creative cloud installer

I am trying to open the creative cloud installer. It is asking for an administrators name and password... I tried my Adobe ID and password, its not working! what do I do? please help!

Are you on a home computer or at a business? What operating system do you have?
The admin name and password are what was assigned to that computer not your cloud account.

What does this message mean Missing Sync Listener wants to make changes" and should I submit my password?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what are you seeing the exclamation point? When you double click on a thumbnail?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

"Finder wants to make changes" Why is password required to delete a file?

If I drag an image from my browser to my desktop and later try to delete it, a notice comes up which reads, "The finder wants to make changes" and then asks for my password.
This is very annoying and is new. Whats up?
Thanks.
Jeff

Neil,
just found your post on how to keep the "finder wants to make changes.type your pass to allow" box from coming up.
i know typing the wront code in the terminal can cause big issues and i'm not that savey when it comes to code. not sure if this is the case here?
what exactly am i typing in the appscript editor?
am i typing:     "chown "   with quotes and hitting run?
and then "echo $UID"   hit run?
and then   "chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash"
my trash folder already has admin priv.
thanks for your time

You do not need to involve Creative Cloud to install/try the trial version of CS5...
You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.
