HT1626 I am trying to install a printer and keeps asking me to put in my password. What password?
I am trying to install a new printer and it keeps asking me for my administrator password! How do I get that password or reset it.
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Utilities from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access the Menubar at top.

Trying to install Elements 13 and it asks for a serial number. The instructions say the number should start with 1057 but there is no code on the disks, box or envelopes the disks came in that start with 1057. I cannot activate the software without this code and it is a Christmas gift to my wife. HELP!
I had this problem. There are actually two boxes. The outside one with the photos and stuff and glued into it is another box containing the disks. That box has the serial number. Adobe was NO help with this as if no one else ever could not find it. I had to rip open the outer box.

i have just bought and iMac and it was a display model but I'm trying to install iWork apps and its asking me to buy them. Any suggestions please
If it didn't start up with the Startup Assistant, did you erase the drive and reinstall the OS prior to starting this?
That is the best way to start given that it was a display model.
The free apps are tied to the Mac. If the store downloaded the apps from the App Store, you won't be able to do the same. You might want to contact App Store support: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/ -

HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.
HP Officejet pro 8500 won't print and keeps asking for a proxy setting. Help.
Hi,
Can you confirm that you have an Officejet 8500a or Officejet 8500? On the 8500a model, you can set the networks proxy address and port setting from the front panel of the printer (setup>Webservices setup>proxy). If you are unsure what your proxy settings are you'll need to contact your network admin. If your network uses a proxy users name and password for all devices, you need to enter this information along with the proxy address and port in the printers embedded web server. Type the products IP address into an internet brownser window (printer must be connected to the same network as PC). Select the network tab, and than look for the proxy settings option. Enter in the information and click apply. Once the networks proxy information has been correctly inputed into the embedded web server, try printing again. If unsuccessfully, you might try reinstalling the printer software after uninstalling it. Hope this helps!

Server = http://archstuff.vs169092.vserver.de/$arch
-- To pacman.conf.
I ran it as root because I hadn't exactly read the manual, as well as the fact that it printed a line: "Cannot install file, not enough permissions! Type --asroot to run as root!" or something along these lines.

Trying to install Flash player and adobe ask me at 50% to close Firefox!
I'm just started using Firefox and it closed Adobe Flash saying it needed updating. While installing Adobe Flash 11 at 50 percent into the install it ask me to close Mozilla Firefox and try again. I have also received a Failed notice several times. I installed it using Internet Explorer, but Firefox will not recognize it. Have tried several times with no luck. I started out trying to download a plugin.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player Plug-in (Mac OS X)
Right click the one you need and "Save" it.
Close your browser completely, and THEN run the installer. -
I am trying to install Kodak printer ESP C310 but it says a firewall is blocking the installation. Can you help?I am using windows XP. I have searched port 5353 and this is enabling Bonjour.
You could check this article, but it is about Firefox itself not having access.

Could you provide the exact wording and punctuation of the message, and try Googling that yourself -- when you google leave out unimportant words and punctuations, group words that are still together as in original message within quotes or with hyphens so that google will look for those words together in that order. -

Trying to install new printer Canon imageclass 4880
Trying to install new printer on Mac Snow Leopard. Instructions are only for Windows. How do I get started installing the software?
You'll need to find the drivers. I found the imageclass 4890 OS X 10.6 drivers here, but didn't find 4880 drivers. Check the global Canon web sites.

I tried to install yosemite yesterday and my computer goes through the whole installation process and then to a blank white screen. I've rebooted, I've reinstalled several times and get the same result. Two days wasted and I can't use my computer!!
I don't know if you've already resolved your problem, but I had the same thing, it took me 6 hours to fix it. I had the exact same as you, installed the update and then it went to a white screen. After trying start up holding down cmmd r or holding down the alt key to try to install it again, nothing worked, same result every time. Then an angel came to me here somewhere but I can't find it now to thank him. Start in safe mode, press shift once you hear the start up chime and hold it down until you hear it again. Installation completion box came up and it was working. turn off computer and start up again normally and all is well. Except my final cut pro x doesn't work with it, have to update that now too. same as when I updated to mavericks.
Hope this helps.
