Download stops after run window asks for password or to run as current user.

when I try ro download Firefox the download stops after it asks to continue as the administater or current user. I do not remember my password so I try to continue as the current user and the program just disappears.

if you save the download of firefox to your computer and then right click and say "Run as Adminstrator" it should work...i was having the same problem and it worked for me.

    Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
    Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
    When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
    The solution has been to:
    1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
    2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
    3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
    Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
    If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:

  • Trying to buy, download a song and keeps asking for password over and over, even after entering correctly.  Why?, trying to buy, download a song and keeps asking for password over and over, even after entering correctly.  Why?

    Trying to buy, download songs on iTunes and keeps asking for password for the account.  Entering the password correctly but it keeps asking for password.  Have downloaded hundreds of songs before, first time this has happend.  Why?
    Thanks.

    Hi, Trex8.
    There are a couple things that you can try to resolve this issue.  First, I would recommend processing any updates needed to the computer and iTunes.  You can check for updates in iTunes by selecting the help menu and check for updates.  If iTunes is on the current version, see the article below. 
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

    Make sure to test the results after each troubleshooting step processed.

  • After booting itunes asks for password ..

    only on my mini i7 itunes always asks for password, very anoying ..
    thankfull for any ideas to solve this.
    (all other macs no problem)

    Sounds like you encrypted your iPhone backup. If you did, a password is required to restore the information to iPhone(the one you entered when you checked the box to encrypt your backup). If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device.

  • Terminal Window asking for password when opening

    I don't know what happens but everytime I open a terminal window its ask me for password. If I type my admin password it starts saying that can't found my ~ directory and starts in :/ instead of :~
    It is also showing ttys001 instead of 000 as usual.
    I don't know what it is, I think it have some relation with closing terminal windows without logging out of a ssh section, but I don't know how to resolve it. I tried reboot, "exit", delete com.apple.terminal
    Any sugestion?

    This is just a wild guess, but might there be a "sudo" command in a file in your home directory that's run when you launch a Terminal session, such as .bash_profile, .bash_login, or .profile? (This list assumes that you're using bash as your shell.)

  • Weird Pop-up window asking for password.

    I have an iPhone 3gs (I know, I know...I'll upgrade soon!) and lately a window pops up (constantly) that asks for my password for a Yahoo account that I don't recognize...am I being "hacked"? - or at least is someone trying?
    Kind of freaking me out.

    Hi...here's what the pop-up says...
    Password Required
    Enter the password for the CalDAV
    account "Yahoo!"
    I have no idea what CalDav means...or what it's for....I have no association with CalDAV - I can't seem to get rid of it. I have looked under all my settings and can't find anything with this name....

  • How do I stop Mail from constantly asking for passwords

    I know this has come up lots of times but nothing I try fixes the issue. Mac Mail constantly asks me for passwords.
    Hotmail is the worst for some reason.  I have fixed keychain, removed password from keychain, changed password, removed account and added again and still it goes on and on, several times an hour!
    I have exhausted all advice i found on here and i can't think of anything else to try. it is most frustrating. has anyone found a new fix for this issue?
    also, i have no idea where to post this as nothing comes up when searching for mail or email !

  • Snow leapord continually asks for password for routine tasks

    how do I stop snow leopard from asking for password to change folder names?

    In the Finder, select the icon of your home folder in the sidebar on the left, and choose "Get Info" from the File menu. In the Sharing & Permissions section of the info window, you should see your user name and "Read & Write." If that's so, click the lock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your administrator name and password when prompted. Then open the action menu (with a gear icon) at the bottom of the window, and choose "Apply to enclosed items." Close the window and try your action again.

  • HT204053 A different ID appears in the window asking for pass word ,when I am updating free soft ware from app store. I have an apple I'd an able to sign in apple support,  app store ,

    I have an apple ID & able to acess apple login & support centre. Un able to update from app store, a different apple I'd appears in a window asking for password  when updating, how can I correct this problem

    If a different Apple ID displays when you try to update your app, that would indicate that the original app was purchased using another account. You cannot update apps that belong to somebody else.

  • IPhone 6Plus on every reboot after putting in my password it opens to a small window asking for apple id password

    everything works on phone and wow it's big compared to my iPhone 5s. went with space grey since i have had 3 white phones in a row. restored via iCloud backup. updated iTunes as i have about 3,000 songs. 250 bought the rest ripped to AAC from my cc's....what a pain but switched from my windows desktop to this new rMBP late 2013 for xmas and iTunes is slightly different on a mac than windows and where everything is stored on drive.
    anyhow problem is every time i reboot after putting in my password and arriving at whatever page i left at i get a very small window asking for my Apple id password. Now the top half is pre filled in with the email address i use for iCloud/itunes/apple/etc.
    i did see in settings there is a checkmark i cannot remove that says for apple password "ask immediately" there are no other choices. it can't be unchecked by any method i found.
    any help appreciated.

    In case anyone else gets this I hit cancel once and it has never come back.

    I was using firefox 5.0.1 & it was crashing frequently.I removed the installation & tried to reinstall.I getting a window asking for adminstrator password.Even after entering password,firefox was not getting installed

    Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
    *[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If that works post back for further advice.
    Next step, if safe mode did not work.
    <u>First: Try a clean install, <sub>(you have had a none standard version installed previously)</sub></u><br /> that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
    See
    * this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
    <u>Second: try a New Profile</u>
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
    * this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
    **[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    * Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
    ** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
    ** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
    ** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

  • How to get Leopard to stop asking for password after waking from sleep mode

    My regular userid does not have a password. When I boot the system, it goes directly in without asking for password. However, when Mac wakes from sleep, it asks for password. I just press enter.
    Can I do something to make Mac skip over request for password when waking from sleep?
    Thanks.
    (The Mac is sleeping, not me.)

    Open the Security pane of System Preferences and turn that option off.

  • My ipad has stopped updating apps. It doesn't even ask for password, it just oges to the apps screen showing empty progress bars. I've re-synced account and restarted but with no luck. Other than deleting the apps is there anyway around this?

    My ipad has stopped updating apps. It doesn't even ask for password, it just oges to the apps screen showing empty progress bars. I've re-synced account and restarted but with no luck. Other than deleting the apps is there anyway around this?

    OK. I will work backwards.
    You certainly don't want to have to delete apps every time that they need an update, for any number of reasons. Losing data first and foremost would be a drag, but the overall hassle would be absurd. All things being equal, you should be able to update apps in the future after you delete them and reinstall them. I delete and reinstall apps all the time and I am also able to update them when updates are available for the apps. I just wanted to know if you had any success in any fashion installing apps.
    Resyncing/refreshing the Apple ID/iTunes account wouldn't seem to be the issue either if you can download apps or other content from the iStores. Your ID is being accepted.
    That leaves us with I'm not sure what. But I think I would try this trick fix and see if it helps.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.

  • Satellite A110-195 after update of bios ask for password

    After i update the bios that i download form the toshiba website for the laptop and update if from the windows he ask for the reboot. After reboot notebook start asking for password for bios and system password too. now i cant get to the system.
    I try default passwords like Toshiba,BIOS, CMOS, phoenix, and PHOENIX. and didn't work. CMOS battery in a110-195 is soderd on motherboard. Is there any jumpers that i need to bypass to clear cmos.

    Hi
    Thats strange buddy.
    Why should BIOS set a password automatically after the update???
    Anyway. As far as I know the BIOS password can be removed only by an ASP technician only these guys know how to remove the BIOS password
    I think the ASP is your last chance to get the BIPS password removed from the system

  • Trying to update to firefox 7.0 when press "run" it ask for administrator's password and will not let me go further. Please advise

    Download Firefox 7.0 (currently running out of date version)
    Click to open file
    Click Run to start running file
    Ask for Admin password
    Will not go further into installing
    Please advise.

    Once I downloaded the update, I was unable to right click "run as administrator" from the exe file. How I was finally able to update to the newest version was to:
    * click the start menu
    * click search
    * type in firefox
    * scroll down to Firefox setup 7.0.1.exe
    * right click and select 'run as administrator'
    The rest was 'easy as pie'. Hope this helps those that had the same trouble I did.
