Installing update-App asks for admin's name-? and password

Since installing Lion I tried to download an undate iAuthor from the App Store on my MacBook Pro laptop and the system asks:
it has never asked for the administrator's name before and I don't remember what mine is. At 86 years old I have trouble remembering my own name.
Can anyone help me???

william-a-minears-macbook-pro:~ williamaminear$ Rod Blagojevich is the former Illinois Governor who tried to sell Obama's seat in Congress.
> Obama was asked by the press if he had ever met Gov. Rod Blagojevich. He replied: "I only saw Rod Blagojevich one time .... And that was in the stands and from a distance at a Chicago Bears Football Game."
> Of course, you can believe him - he's our President
The picture below? That's irrelevant.

Rhom, the new Mayor of Chicago
You have to understand "the world according to Chicago "
Chicago is almost a completely different country when it comes to politics, with a different set of morals and language.
There are three rules and a Prime Directive.
RULE #1. No matter what you see, hear, or do -- you don't know anybody & you know nothing!
RULE #2. If you capture something on tape or camera -- it reveals nothing!
RULE #3. If you know what everybody knows in Chicago -- you still know nothing.
The PRIME DIRECTIVE ...No matter what the vote, Democrats win the election.
Now pay close attention!
It's very simple. Remember, you know nothing.
These two? They never met! Obama said they didn't..
These two? Who are they?-bash: Rod: command not found

How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto? To be honest I'm not even sure what type of Mac I have and don't know how to find out what kind it is
I'd also like to make address labels and don't know where to find that either

You would make address lables with the Contacts app.
If you don't have the user name and password used to set up the machine then you need to purchase the apps for yourself.

It is asking for a router name and password???

The sales person told me how easy this would be to set up..."just plug it in" he said...right. Anyhoo - I disconnected my ancient wireless router and put the cd in - started doing its thing and then it asks for a router name and password...the only name and password I have is from my old ancient router...how could it be the same? Where do I find this info? Thank you for any help!

Just go to the Linksys support site, find your router model and hardware version there, and download the User Guide or User Manual for your router, and there's all kinds of useful information there. I'm surprised that there isn't a "Quick Start" guide in with the router that gives basic instructions like go to 192.168.1.1 and then how to login to set up your router. But it is in the downloaded user manual for sure.

I just switched to Charter. When going to Mozilla Firefox a box appears saying, Authentication Required and asks for a User name and Password. What do I do?

I switched from CenturyTel to Charter. I can't use Firefox because a box appears asking me for Authentication Required, User Name and Password. When I hit cancel, this message appears:
HTTP 401 - Unauthorized
Authorization is required to access the configuration server.
You must enter the correct username and/or password.
When I called Charter, they told me they recommended using Internet Explorer. I told them I didn't want IE, I preferred Firefox. They recommended I go to your support page, so here I am. :o)

Have you reset the password recently for the email account?
A real simple fix usually is to delete the mail account (settings < mail contacts calendars, tap the affected account and choose delete at the bottom) Then re add the account.

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).

Asking for iCloud account name and password to play iTunes radio when I have done it in the past many times without this question. Will not accept my apple id and password. Will not save my changed password. Where do I start?

I have a MAC with OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.2, 8GB, 2.7 GHz, intel core i5. Until 2 days ago, I could click on iTunes radio, pick my station and listen. Then 2 days ago, I do this and system asks for my iCloud account id and password. Does not recognize apple id or password. I change the password, does not save it. Screen that lists 2 step verification asks for added security questions, I do those and still will not allow me access. What do I do and where do I start? I thought I should download the update to OS X. I did that, still no change. Please help direct me to where I need to go to fix this problem.

Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.

Call Apple and ask for Account Security.

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.

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.

No. purchases are forever tied to the apple ID used to buy them. Delete them and buy your own copies.

Itunes keeps asking me for a user name and password when I first open it.

I do not allow apple to access my library or my hard drive because you guys are predators, and I have NO interest in using the app store. I have disabled access to the store, so i do not know why it keeps asking me for a user name and password. You have NO right to see the music THAT I PURCHASED a loooooooooong time ago. It is my license. I should be able to play it whenever and wherever I like...and NO, I do not burn and copy my music. I just want to play it on MY MACHINES. So, I do not need your useless snooping, which is probably the reason you want me to log in. Who do you think you are? You didn't write the songs. You just sell licenses. Period. And I purchased mine, thank you. I no longer use your store for these reasons. I use Amazon.

Not control-R. Command-R. Shut the computer down. Reboot it. Hold down cmd-R when you hear the chime. Keep it held down and you should see the Lion recovery partition.

I signed in as my dad's ID, and now, I'm signed in as my own ID. The problem is, when I try to verify any update, it asks for my dad's ID password instead of mine. How can I fix this?

You need to delete and redownload those applications. His Apple ID is stored inside them.
