Mavericks asking for administration password. I never had one.
My Maxbook Air which i bought from Apple.ca last year came with the latest Lion OS.
Now Im installing Mavericks its asking for an administrator password which i never had.
Suggestions.
Ray BeckAfter downloading Mavericks from AppStore it prepares installation files and it usually requires admin access to do so. I got a prompt asking for admin password as well. But you can just click enter ( return ) without entering any password if you didnt set one. And it should go ahead fine. If that doesn't help report back

Linc Davis is a very smart guy on here, and his recommendation in that thread is to reinstall the OS. I'd suggest a backup first. -

Please help.Hello there, Goraksanat.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some good pointers for troubleshooting your issue:

Additionally you can try an SMC reset as it is recommended for:
Applications may not function correctly or may stop responding after being opened.

Are you trying to install a 32 bit or 64 bit version of Windows 8?
Which versions of Windows are supported with Boot Camp 5?
64-bit versions of Windows 8 and Windows 7 are supported using the Boot Camp 5 Support Software. If you need to use a 32-bit version, you need to use Boot Camp 4 Support Software, and you must use Windows 7. 32-bit versions of Windows 8 are not supported via Boot Camp.
You can get more info on BootCamp here:

I am trying to update ITunes from 10.4 to 10.5 I have tried from both the program, and from a download on Apple's website. Regardless, I get the following error messages: (1) Installation package for iTunes cannot be found. Try installing to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes. I can't find this folder. I have tried to completely unistall iTunes through the Control Panel, but it wouldn't let me: I tried going directly to the files themselves, but cannot uninstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. System OS: Win XP SP 3.
Set the permissions for Everyone in the folder in which CCPackager created, to "Read/Write" enabled. This is strange since there is only an administrator account on the Mac (and that account already has read/write), but it seems to resolve the issue.

Hi. My new computer had Acrobat on it. Suddenly, I was unable to open any PDF's. and then I tried to update and was forwarded to the Adobe site that said I had to buy a monthly subscription. I do not have the physical box with a serial number and was going to buy the one advertised on the website until I discovered it's only for students and teachers, which I am not. What should I do next as I need to use PDFs on a daily basis. Thanks! I would like to be able to download this and pay online. Possible? I currently have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I have a Windows 7 system. Please help!
As long as you know your serial number you can download PSE from here:
Download Photoshop Elements products | 11, 10

I'm trying to update my iPad but it says I don't have enough available storage. But I have more than enough can anyone tell me what the problem is?
Well, we can't as we don't know what you consider as "more than enough". The built is quite heavy (like it can be 800mb) then it needs to be extracted to be installed before everything unneeded gets deleted...

I tried to update Safari for OS 10.7.5 and it no longer works. What should I do to revive it?
Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.
Ciao.
