How can I be sure the popups asking for my master password come from the Software Security Device ?

I did setup a master password on my Firefox. I therefore have the Software Security Device asking for my master password now and then as a popup, but I have no way to be sure that the popup is coming from the Software Security Device.
How can I be sure that it's not coming from a website or an extension trying to steal my passwords ?

That message will not be from Mozilla, there are rogue sites that use this method to try to get people to install malware/viruses/trojans. Do not install anything from that site.

I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
Thank you

Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product. You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.

When I try to combine two pdf's, it asks for a permission password and says the documents are protected; however, I didn't put any protection/security in the documents. I assume it is a default security under the enhanced security settings of the Acrobat

When I try to combine two pdf's, it asks for a permission password and says the documents are protected; however, I didn't put any protection/security in the documents. I assume it is a default security under the enhanced security settings of the Acrobat Pro XI which I recently purchased.

Acrobat (Pro or Standard) does not apply a "default" protection. It appears that someone or some other process has applied protection.
Be well...

Firefox Asks for Unnecessary Master Password Upon Every Startup

Upon start up, Firefox unnecessarily asks for my master password every time. My home page (Google Finance) does not require a password. This occurs in safe mode as well. This is annoying and time wasting. I have to X-out the master password request window about 10 seconds after I start Firefox. Why does it do this? ... Firefox did not used to do this.

The cited solutions involve either removing the Master Password, or using an add-on which requires an initial password. Neither is a true solution to the problem. If I remove the use of a Master Password and my machine were stolen, then the passwords would be accessible to a thief. So, I do want a Master Password. The question ... and problem ... is this: why does Firefox request a password upon startup when it does not yet need one? And, how can this be turned off? From my memory, it did not used to do that.

When using 6.0 beta and 7.0 beta on my MacBookPro, I am (too) frequently asked for my master password. This doesn't occur in other programs. Do I have some evil code in my Firefox program?

Why I'm asked for my Master Password seems troublesome.

Hello Matt, fellow archaeologist :)
Security updates are essential on any and all software, specially your browser. Mozilla is working to streamline the updating process as much as possible, but you shouldn't neglect your own security for a few seconds of "wasted" time.
I hope you do the best for yourself.

Where is the App icon for HD 1080p Video? From the online photos it should be separate from the camera App.

Where is the App icon for HD 1080p Video? From the online photos it should be separate from the camera App.
It's supposed to have a blue background with 1080p in white, while inside there is a white camera with the letters HD in blue.
I cannot find this App icon. Where is it located? It was supposed to be preinstalled.
Thanks.

There is no app.
It is the camera. Just take video with the camera.

I recently bought a Macbook Air and a Thunderbolt Display and the laptop's power is supposed to come from the display, but the power cable on the display does not fit into the Macbook Air.

I recently bought a 11" Macbook Air and a 27" Thunderbolt Display.The laptop's power is supposed to come from the display when connected, but the power cable on the display does not fit into the Macbook Air.

If your MBair is a 2012 model, it has a Magsafe 2 power connection. The monitor probably has the old magsafe connection. If this is the case, you need this adapter.

How to stop the ATV asking for Apple ID Password

I just upgraded to 6. Now everytime the ATV boots up (I turn it off at night) it asks for my AppleID password. This never happened under 5.x. I do not rent or buy iTunes stuff from my ATV. I do not want to enter my password because I never had to under 5.x, how can I stop it asking for my password?

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

Please reset my iTunes account so I can purchase thru iTunes it Saids to contact u
The message you are quoting says to contact iTunes Support, not this user-to-user discussion forum.
But anyway, see this document on how to find the credit card security code:

TS2634 I can't open email. Keeps asking for my yahoo password. Will not accept any password I put in. When I try to reset, it wants to confirm to an alternate email, which I do not have?

My email app will not longer display my messages. It asks for my yahoo password and then accepts none of the passwords I ever remember using. When trying to reset the password, it prompts me to use an alternate email address which I do not have? Any advise?

Can you sign in at yahoo.com?
If you can sign in then it's not a password problem.
Yahoo servers have been having probelms with not accepting the right credentals on mobile devices.
The only two ways I have seen this type of issue are to simply wait and keep trying or:
Sign into yahoo.com on a comptuer.
Sign into yahoo.com on the device
Delete the account that you have added and attempt to re-add the account - about a 50% chance the account won't re-add to the device.
If this doesn't work then your back to the first option to wait till it works again.

Firefox asks for a master password on startup, instead of only when accessing passwords.

I have a master password set, which is asked for if I go to a site that requires a password I've set, or if I want to check my passwords.
Lately, it's started asking for the password on starting Firefox. I can enter the password, or just close the box or hit 'cancel'. Doing any of those things lets me browse, but the latter two at least result in getting the "please enter the master password for the software security device" box again and again.
I DO want a master password, but I DON'T want it to be asked for when I start browsing.

Firefox Sync also requires a Master Password to get the user name, password, and sync key from the Password Manager (Software Security device).

How can i delete an old icloud account for which I do not have the password

I changed my iCloud and iTunes account on my MAC AIR to a new ID (successfully). The iTunes account on my iPad Air was also updated, but I can't change or get rid of the old iCloud account on my iPad and I don't know what the old password is for the old account. How can this account be deleted off my iPad, please help!

If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

How can view another macs screen without asking for permission

I just recently upgraded all 4 of our macbook pros to mountain lion. So far no problems until I wanted to look at my sons screen to make sure he was doing homework and not playing minecraft. I went to "Network", chose his computer on our network, then chose Share screen. I get two choices "ask for Permission" or "Log in". I have screen sharing enabled on his computer and I have myself as a registered user. I have tried turning on and off the Back to my Mac setting in iCloud on both computers. I want to be able to see his screen without it asking for his permission. Kind of defeats my purpose for screen sharing if it gives him time to quit minecraft before he answers my request.
The other choice "Log In" is beyond useless. I have not idea what the purpose would be to be logged in on someones computer and only be able to see your own screen.
Before I upgraded to Mtn. Lion, I was able to screen share and see any computer without it asking for permission because I was a registered user on their computer. I home school my kids and need to be able to see/control their screens from another room.
Any ideas on how to get this to work?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Nope, it shows me a log in screen with my daughter/son's pic but won't let me type anything in the password box.
