I am being asked for a administrators name and password, is the name of the current user logged in?
I am the only user on my mac, but I keep getting a box opening saying that I need to change my parental controls, it says i need an administrator password, i don't know what this is, I thought it was my user name, but it still won't let me log in.
Hello Helenrobins69,
If the password field is shaking, it indicates the incorrect password is being entered. As far as the parental controls goes, it appears that the feature may have accidentally been enabled on your user account. You can simply turn off parental controls however by following the directions below.
Turn off parental controls
In Parental Controls preferences, click the lock if it’s not unlocked, and then enter an administrator name and password.
Select the user, and then choose “Turn off Parental Controls” from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear).

Access document in Library is being asking for an Infopath username and password
Trying to get access to files in the library. And the user is having permissions but when he clicked the file in the library he is being ask for an Infopath username and password.
A pop dialog box showing like
"Form will open in Offline Mode"
You are currently working offline.
To try to connect to data sources when the form is opened, click "Try to Connect". To use previously stored data......
Can somebody reply on this please..Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that access document in Library is being asking for an Infopath username and password.
Usually this error when the form is not connected to any of the data sources successfully. Please verify all the data connections are available or not.
I recommend to enable the options for Infopath Form Services to ensure that InfoPath 2010 is in online mode.
In addition, you can add your SharePoint server’s FQDN to your Trusted Sites or Intranet Sites zone and modify your registry settings for the WebClient service.
For more information, you can refer to:

I can't update my apps in my iPad because it asks me to sign in to an outdated id which is different to my current Apple ID
Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them. If you bought the apps with old username and password, you have to continue to use them to update the apps.
If you changed the username because you got a new email address, sign out of your old ID in Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap the old ID and sign out then sign in with the new/changed ID. -
I purchased Adobe CS4. I am now being asked for my serial number and when I put it in the program does not recognize it for Acrobat Pro 9 though it does for PhotoShop, Bridge and the rest of the suite. What can I do?
Contact support if you have serial number issues. Otherwise start by checking this stuff:
Sign in, activation, or connection errors

When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID. How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password??? I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id. I am not signed into ITunes, the store on the ipad, or icloud under her name. WIERD???
There is no featured tab in my iTunes store. . . and everywhere it shows me signed in. I had downloaded an app for my mother on HER ipad, and that is the only app I have done for her. It shows up on my phone, and now I cannot update any of my apps. I uninstalled that app on my phone, but when I want to update ones I have installed on my phone with my appleid, she keeps showing up.

I can't access my email. I have joined iCloud. When I press mail I get a series of providers. I click iCloud. It asks for my Apple id and password. I provide these to be told this account already exists and I can get no further. What am I doing wrong?
Sorry everyone - I have solved my own question - needed to go through Hotmail account of course.

No. purchases are forever tied to the apple ID used to buy them. Delete them and buy your own copies. -
help, the last apple ID used to download in my ipad2 is stuck, I can't download anything because its not asking for my apple ID and password, how do I change it back to mine?
Again, this only affects you if someone *redownloaded* content with a different ID. In my case, I emailed iTunes Store support, explained the situation, and they reset the counter. I recommend you try the same
If you read discussion boards, this is a significant change from a year ago, when Apple told people in the same situation to go f&$# themselves. Clearly it's dawning on them that this is a stupid policy, and my guess is if people keep complaining they'll change it to something more reasonable. Remember, it wasn't that long ago you couldn't re-download content at all.
Apple can't really afford to play hardball on this. Sure, the hardcore fanboys will always say "Thank you sir, may I have another" whatever Apple throws at them, but the rest of us will just switch to Amazon, which has none of these restrictions. -
hello sir i purchase second hand iphone4s now my iphone ask for activation with id and password i contact with previous owner and use that id and password but that also not work what i do ola help me i try all other method restore ' upgrade etc but none work plz say what i do if u find some solution tham msg me on [email protected]
First, we're not Apple here (Apple does not participate in this forum). We're only users like you.
The previous owner has not given you the correct ID and password for you to use.
If the iphone has iOS version 7, then read through the following...

this does not help at all for the second owner, after making the first owner id with careless, sorry for my english ...
Careless? Possible, but unlikely. Most likely the phone was stolen from the first owner. It would be a VERY careless iPhone owner who did not erase their personal information from a phone before selling it, and to do that it is necessary to disable Activation Lock. In most places in the world knowingly using stolen property is a crime, so the fact that the phone doesn't work may be the least of one's risks. -
My computer is authorized, but when I try to open a recently downloaded audio file I get asked for my "Audible username and password" and my AppleID and password do not work.
thats because audible isnt apple provided, its a third party app/website so you'll have to get it from them

Some games ask for our apple ID and password. Will it compromise our apple password?

I have changed my icloud user Id and password, but the old user ID still pops up and ask for my password. I cannot delete my old icloud account as it keeps asking password of my old user ID. how can I rectify the problem?
Hey HKKL,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issue relating to the iCloud account after changing your Apple ID email address. The following article addresses this issue and potential resolution:
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
Thanks,
Matt M.
