I cannot download a programme as it is not accepting my administrator name (my name) and password (I know my password is correct)

I am currently in Ghana and am trying to download a programme to make my modem work. 
When i download a new program or go to update spotify for example, in order to allow the changes my mac requires me to enter the administrator name and password.
I know the password as when i log into my computer on use this works.
However when the tab comes up to download/etc the name for the administrator does not come up, and so i copy the name that it says on the system preferences accounts information. this does not work (it is my name).
I
cant download snow leopard as i need a digitial copy which isnt in store online - and dont wanna send it to ghana.
Please help??

If the machine was upgraded to Lion 10.7.x by the original owner then you bought an illegal license of Lion and also of any other applications that the seller  said came pre-installed, this assumes the seller did not include original install media. In that case you need to contact the seller for the original install DVDs that came with the machine re-install up to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then purchase Mountain Lion ($20) and the applications you want or need. If the seller cannot come up with the original install discs then you can buy them from a nominal cost from AppleCare..

    Are you connected via wifi? If so, and it is an option, try connecting using a ethernet cable. It sometimes seems to help as it can give a more reliable connection for the 5.3gb download.
    If you do manage to download it you may want to make a copy of the installer file - which gets downloaded to the Applications folder - before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation. It may save you another monster download in the future.

  • When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to?  I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data.

    When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to?  I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data.   It was left on a small street and someone has found it and has been hacking into my account by resetting my password.  They took about 41+ dollars from my account.   I am hoping the IP it was connecting with to download to it was tracked and that I can get that information to figure out where it is located.

    No. From the second link below.
    "Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product
    - If you previously turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and location service is on, and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - Report to police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

    How can I download Adobe Reader if it will not accept my password?

    I have spent more than 3 hours (over 2 on your ask the expert where I waited forever and got about 5 minutes of Santos' time!)  He transferred me to this area where there is no one to help me.  I can't adjust my thermostat until I update my adobe reader and can't do that because your website will not take my password.  However, adobe.com will take it.  So what the hell do I do?????

    Hi tapanb34358563,
    Could you please let me know what error prompts on your screen when you are trying to enter the serial number.
    Have you bought subscription for Acrobat, if yes then you might need to sign in at "adobe.com" using your Adobe ID credentials to activate subscription.
    Let me know.

  • Since the installation of Firefox 8, I cannot download a specific file type from email. I use this for work and MUST be able to open these files with a specific software. When FF opens the file, it changes the extension and it will not open. Help!!!

    I use the Microsoft Outlook Web App for work email. I receive files with a .RXML extension. This has always worked just fine until the latest version of Firefox came out (I was using FF 7 until this weekend). Now FF changes the extension to .ashx when I open the file and I cannot download it into my software. If I go to the company internet site and download directly from there, it does the same thing. But I can open these files just fine from IE. I REALLY don't want to have to go back to IE.

    I opened one of the PDF files in notepad and these are the first couple lines:

  • My firefox version is 3.6.12, however I cannot download any add-ons cause it says I am still using version 2, and it is the same for website such as youtube where it is always saying I am using a outdated browser. How do I solve this?

    I keep updating my firefox whenever it prompts me to, and now I am using version 3.6.12, but I still cannot download any add-ons or have problem using youtube cause they still says I am using a older version of the browser.
    But when I go Help > About Mozilla Firefox, I am sure I have the latest version and no more updates can be found.

    You have or had an extension installed (MegaUpload toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.12 to Firefox/2.0.0.13
    You can check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page:
    * general.useragent.extra.firefox Firefox/2.0.0.13 MEGAUPLOAD 1.0
    You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website.<br />
    Filter: general.useragent<br />
    If general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose Reset.

  • Flash Installer cannot download. "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed."

    Flash Installer cannot download. Finally get the message,  "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." I already uninstalled the old copy, now I have no Flash Player.

    My issue was identical.... days of frustrating downloads and initializing but no installation........ UNTIL I chose to not use the default installer and chose 'Save File'. Now I have the latest Flash installed in OS 10.8.5 no problems !!
    This time a long download of 16MB arrived in the downloads folder that actually worked.
    Prior to this, all downloads were around 1.6MB and there was no .dmg in the package.
    I got my download under where it says "Still having problems?"
    Hope this helps you.
    See the attached page for reference.

  • Cannot download a TV episode "you did not buy this" error message

    I have received two new episodes of programs that I purchased, and tonight when I tried to download, both shows gave me an error message that said "you did not buy this.  You cannot download."  
    But I DID buy this!  I've bought these two shows for more than a season!  
    I had an earlier error message that these shows could not download at this time, in the morning.  During the day I shut down the computer completely, and rebooted this evening . . . . . to get this new error message.
    Any ideas?

  • I purchased an i-pad 2 and have about 330 apps. I bought the cheaper (16GB). I now cannot download or update apps "There is not enough available storage" I purchased more storage in settings, but still cannot update or download.

    I purchased an i-pad 2 (16GB) and have about 330 apps. I cannot download or even update my apps (get the message there is not enough storage available to download). I purchased more storage through settings, but still nothing. Help?

    You cannot purchase more storage on the iPad, you purchased more storage on iCloud.

  • I have a new email address and was successful in changing that information on line but my phone and iPad does not recognize the new address and I cannot update anything. It also does not accept the password associated with the old email address/Apple ID

    I have a new email address and was successful in changing the information online but cannot change it on my iPhone 4S or iPad. When I try to fix the problem it requires me to create a new password and now I can't remember that either.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your 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.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account 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 and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
