I cannot install app in macpro, i cannot remember my password. Is there a default password that I can use to unlock it?

I cannot install any apps in my macbook and even get an update coz i cannot input my password. as far as I know i don't have any password in my computer coz i'm the one using it.

To administer the computer - and to install new apps - you must be using an adminstrator account and use the adminstrator to do things such as installing apps, etc.
Which version of OS X are you running? Note that iOS is not the same as OS X.

  • I have just acquired an iMac desktop. I want to sign on to my airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network.

    I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

    Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the  AirPort Forums for instructions. 

  • I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

    I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?  It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!!  THANKS!

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • I can't install app anymore on my ipad2 (ios 7) even though there is empty space?, I can't install app anymore on my ipad2 (ios 7) even though there is empty space?

    it's running ios 7.0.2 or something like that.  I can't install new apps anymore, updates work fine.  the 32gb real estate are only used for apps, I have no stored movies, photos, music.   So there is room.  There is also room on the screen itself.  I know there is max number of apps you can install right?  But even though I delete an existing app to replace with a new different one, it still won't install.  I reset, turned on/off, everything but no luck.  Please help. 

    Hook it up to the computer that you normally sync with and, if necessary, fire up iTunes.  Look at the usage chart at the bottom of any screen.  If it appears to be unreasonable, a "Restore" may be in order.  Go to the summary screen and follow the on-screen instructions.

  • I have a new mac mini I5 - I cannot find and copy Maverick onto a flash so that I can install on the other 7 iMacs - don't want to download from App store to each machine

    I have a new mac mini I5 - I cannot find and copy Maverick onto a flash so that I can install on the other 7 iMacs - don't want to download from App store to each machine - files too big
    Please assist

    You need to download it on one of the iMacs via App store but not install since after it installs the installation download gets deleted.
    After it is downloaded you can copy to a USB device. You can also make a bootable USB install device by:
    downloading and using DiskMaker X

  • I can-t see netTV from Mediaset on the ipad because I cannot install Silverlight. Is there any ipad compatible Silverlight version goin to be released? When? Or is there any other apple application I can use in place of Silverlight?

    Or is there any other apple application I can use in place of Silverlight?
    I just want to see a service I'm paying for on the ipad instead of PC, it should be allowed!!!!
    Roberto

    I red about a Silverlight 5 version that should run also on ipad/iphone, annouced last year for 2011, but I can't find any recent update. On apple store you can find a silverlight 3 version at 5.99$, but it does not seem to be the same thing, just same name.
    I'm not sure that this closure is a good policy from apple side. If I knew in advance I would never buy an ipad.

    Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

  • I cannot remember my password

    I am trying to use software update, but for the life of me, I cannot remember the password.  Even the clue does not help.  How can I reset this?

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

  • Cannot remember my password to my curve 8310

    I want to give my friend my curve 8310 but cannot remember the password.  Is there another way to clear my device?

    Type the password incorrectly ten times and it will wipe all of your previous personal information from the device... contacts, calendar, messages, etc., but it will NOT always wipe your pictures and files on the inserted Media Card.

  • Cannot remember my password when I registered

    cannot remember my password when I registered and cannot remember password for app updates

    When selecting passwords, make sure it's one that you will NEVER forget AND no one else can figure out. 
    Old school--- > Print it out & keep in a safe place.  A place that ONLY you know about AND never forget.  Also helpful when you cannot get pass the log-in screen.
    New school---> Get a password manager utility.  Highly recommend 1Password which is shareware.  Another good password manager utility is Dashlane.  Best of all, it's FREE! 
    Do a Google search for free password managers.

  • ITunes 12 Cannot Remember My Password

    It seems I've always had this problem intermittently, but lately iTunes 12.0.1.26 cannot remember my password at all. I have to enter it two or three times whenever I launch the app. I'm gonna count the "two or three times" as a separate issue, since this also happens with PayPal, for instance. Why is iTunes unable to access Keychain? I have Access Control set to allow iTunes to access that item, confirm before allowing access, ask for Keychain password. Instead, I have to open Keychain Access, then copy/paste the password into iTunes each time.
    I see that this question has been posted a number of times over the years, yet, as far as I can see, it never is properly answered. Has anyone discovered a solution to this problem?

    Howdy monnick,
    The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips, like authorizing the computer with each Apple ID that you’ve used to make iTunes Store purchases, which will likely resolve the issue with the latest version of iTunes continually requesting that you authorize the computer.
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support
