I did not forget my master password - but the app kept asking for it

I am not editing the question although your website seems not to "understand it" - I wrote it down and so far the application (?) has not offered to remember anything.
There was a time before I installed Version 12 - when I was ASKED if I wanted it to remember - all the device asks for is my master password
I am recently become a user of FF12 and I have also Personas and the Personas Manager - but that fails sometimes to work and it does not change the picture - then I have to SIGN in ALL over again
Any advice would be welcomed and gratefully received

If you create a master password, each time you start Firefox, it will ask you to enter the password the first time it needs to access a certificate or stored password (copied from [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/security-and-passwords-settings?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Options+window+-+Security+panel#w_passwords Passwords - Use a master password] )
thank you

I have updated my username and password, but the system keeps asking for my password for an old email for which I have no password.. How can I fix this?

Are you signed into this old ID ("email") in System Preferences>iCloud, System Preferences>Internet Accounts (Mail,Contacts,Calendars), or in Mail>Accounts, Calendar>Accounts or Contacts>Accounts?

I don't have a password but the computer keeps asking for one

I just got my macbook pro and am trying to download some applications like java but my computer is asking me for a password and I never set one up so I'm really confused on what to do. I've tried my apple ID password.

If no one else has access to the op computer or they are the only ones in their household, there is no need for a log in password.
Don't agree with you there, portables usually leave the house.
And you should never ever leave it alone. I take mine out of the home all the time. Never leaves my sight....only when inside my carrying bag which is on my body. Most of all, no one touches it. Better not breath on it either!
In all my years of using "personal" computers, I have never set up a password. Then again, maybe I should since the location of Jimmy Hoffa's body is buried deep inside my hard drive.

I did not forget my lock code but somehow, my phone refuses to accept it and kept me locked out. Is this iOS7 bug?

The same way they were put on the previous iPhone, sync them.
Alternatively, read the article from which the question was posted and follow the explicit instructions provided.

I can't download the app , they asked me to key in the iTunes password but the app was not download.

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application"

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?

I updated my mac 10.8 to mavericks but after installation the app store ask for the same software update again..i have a slow connection..i cannot install it again and again..what should i do?

In case you are not aware, Mavericks requires a high speed broadband connection.
In the event you need to restore or repair the starutp disk, OS X Recovery also requires a broadband connection as noted here > About OS X Recovery
You can check your download speed here > Speedtest.net
15Mbps or less, you may not be able to install Mavericks or use OS X Recovery.

You must of set a password on the computer when you kfirst turned it on. Otherwise you wouldn't be using it.
What I think you are talking about is a user name and password for an Apple ID.
Apple IDs use a email address and a password you create for that email address on Apples website.
There should be a link on whatever page you are on to Create an Apple ID. Click that link.
Or just open App Store from the link on you Dock then Find the link to create an Apple ID.
Absolutely not. You can create a blank password. Yes it's stupid. Yes it's unsafe. But from helping people with their Macs, I find most do not set up a password. <facepalm>

I heard that if you file share with someone on accident, they can gain access to your mac if they know the password to your mac. Could someone who I accidentally file shared with login to my mac if I did not have an admin password at the time?

I know it was stupid to not have a computer password at the time, but I now do. Could this be possible?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
This would only happen if you choose the whole hard drive as a shared folder, and it's not. By default, OS X only sets up File Sharing in order to share files through the Public folder. You can see which folders are being shared in System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing.
If the whole hard drive is selected as a shared folder, remove it because they can access to all your files without any password. Apart from that, there's no risk, as they can't see any other folder than the ones you chose in System Preferences > Sharing

I have changed my username and password but the apps are still asking for my old username and password. How do I change that

I have changed my username and password for my apple account but the apps previously linked to it are still asking for the old info. And I don,t know it so that's why I updated it

Apps are permanently tied to the ID and password used to purchase them. If you do not remember that information, you cannot update them. If you ned these apps, you will have to repurchase them under your new ID.

At first I wanted to get an app in the App Store which is no need to buy it. I'm at Malaysia but the app is only for china. So I change it to china. But the china App Store didn't ask for the credit card thing. So I change the country....

Then I changed it to Malaysia but I can't because the App Store ask me to give the credit card number thing. But friend does that too. But the App Store didn't ask him for the credit card number when he changed back to Malaysia store. Please help me. I really need it. Thanks

Veronica ...
Reset the device then try the App Store.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.
When you can, yes, there's an update available.
Tap Settings > General > Software Update
