HT203192 "networksetup is trying to modify the system network configurations" type your password to allow this.

"networksetup is trying to modify the system network configurations" type your password to allow this.Type your password to allow this.  No amount of password typing seems to satisfy the request. The pop up box will not go away!!!!

Hi Glenyse,
Did you find the answer to your question?  I have the same problem.  Or can anyone else help?
My wife’s 2012 Macbook Pro has Yosemite and is using Wi Fi for the internet connection. 
Every time, both on startup and awaking from sleep, a window appears on the desktop with a locked icon saying, “Networksetup is trying to modify this system.  Type your password in to allow this”.
The window (which can’t be moved or dragged) shows the computer’s user name. The password has to be repeatedly typed in as many as 10 times and the highlighted ‘modify configuration’ box clicked before the window disappears and the computer then functions normally.
Needless to say, this is driving my wife up the wall…    I would certainly appreciate information on how to get rid of this troublesome window!

    Hello, let's see if this old cure still works...
    To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.

    Hi,
    To change your password you will need to open System Preferences, then open Users & Groups, click on Change Password.  Change your password to a temporary one, then when you have finished you do the same procedure to change it back, by typing in the temp password then leaving the new password blank.  Hope this helps.

  • When trying to delete files, I get the following message, 'Finder Wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.'

    I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.7.4 on my iMac and am suddenly unable to simply move files to the trash.
    Instead, I get the following message: 'Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.'
    When I do enter my password, the file does not enter the Trash but seems to disappear.
    I tried to find ways to revert to previous settings that allowed me to move files to the trash, but had trouble doing so.
    How can I get my iMac to run normally?
    Cheers!

    I am trying to transfer files from my old pc to my new mac. When I go to migration assistant, and hit the continue button on the introductory screen, I get a message that says M Asst wants to make changes - type your password to allow this.   What is my password or how do I set one up for this?

    When you set  up your Mac you had to enter a admin password to set up your user account.
    If you did not enter one then try using the  "blank window" as your password. ie Just hit return with nothing entered.
    If that does not work try this reference:

    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 (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

    Can you post the permissions on your Home folder?
    Open Terminal, copy and paste this command. Copy the output and post here. If you want to mask out your user name, then paste the output into a text editor and use Find/Replace to change it to something like "username" before pasting it in here.

  • I just started getting the error message below - when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this.  Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

    There should be nothing native to the OS X which would ask for a password
    or  other information on a restart, unless accompanied by the traditional login
    box with your user name.
    There are adware or marginal products that could be called malware (bad)
    that would impose their presence and some items that could have been
    downloaded by accident or through some corrupted free software site; of
    those some could ask for and gain permission to go through your Mac
    and maybe even run in the background to do other nefarious misdeeds.
    You could see if startup in SafeBoot allows you access past that the Completer.
    Since I don't have a pile of helpful article links on how to resolve various issues
    I'd be looking them up one way or another.
    There are some helpful items in the site http://thesafemac.com - see Tech Guides
    listed  (adware, malware, & performance) plus a link to the adwaremedic page.
    Also, Apple support has a helpful page on how to remove adware and other bits:

    Hopefully this helps somewhat.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Since updating my iPad, iTunes no longer recognises my password to purchase music.  I've tried resetting, but the system doesn't recognise any of my details. Can anybody help please.

    I did the update the other night on my iPad and since then I haven't been able to purchase music on iTunes.  The system doesn't accept my password, and when I've tried to reset it doesn't recognise any of my details.  I didn't have any  problem before the update, and everything else seems to be working ok.

    It may be best to recreate the folder and the smart playlists from scratch.

  • Getting the error access denied trying to modify the workbook with identifier in Disocverer Admin

    Hi All,
    I have exported a workbook created by business user as an .eex file logging in as discoverer admin from a Production enviornment (transactional databse) and trying to import it to a different environment called reporting environment ( non transactional databse) and getting a warning 'WFS GTP REPORT SINAPORE.eex:Access denied trying to modify the workbook with identifier 'WFS_GTP_REPORT_SINGAPORE'.
    It says Files Partially Imported so clicked on Finish to complete the import.
    The report has been imported under the user account but the sharing to the different responsibilities/Users has not been imported. I need to import the report with the sharing of the responsibilities/users as well.
    I do not have an option login into discoverer administratore using the user account, i can only login using the administator account ( i know loging in as the business user it self will allow you to import the sharing). But our DBA's oppse this is a security threat for the users as you are logging in as the user in production environment.
    Please help with this issue.

  • How can I solve the Error 110 problem when trying to modify the Description of Properties of PDF?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Noelia, i have the same problem, did you solved it ?I had the same issue as Noelia when I investigated Noelia's issue originally (see the TwoVideos sample application in this thread: Re: How can I play different videos with only one MediaPlayer?
    I tried running the TwoVideos sample application today on Windows XPsp3, JavaFX 2.1b17, JDK7u4ea and I was unable to reproduce the problem, so it is likely fixed either 2.1 or (less likely I believe) a Windows 7 only related issue.
