Logged in as admin - still pw prompted

I thought that if I am logged in to admin account I would be able to trash things w/o having to type in my admin password? Since I use quite a sophisticated pw this is really VERY annoying, to say the least.
Is there a solution to this issue?

The procedure below will reset the permissions of a user's home folder in OS X 10.7.4 or later, including 10.8 or later. If you're running an earlier version of 10.7, update to the latest version first. This procedure should not be used under OS X versions older than 10.7.4.
Back up all data before you begin.
Step 1
Click the Finder icon in the Dock. A Finder window will open.
Step 2
Press the following key combinations, in the order given:
Command-3
Shift-command-H
Command-I (the letter "I" as in "Info.")
The Info window of your home folder will open.
Step 3
Click the lock icon in the lower right corner and authenticate with the name and login password of an administrator on the system. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Step 4
In the Sharing & Permissions section of the window, verify that you have "Read & Write" privileges. If not, use the "+" and "-" buttons in the lower left corner to make the necessary changes.
Step 5
By default, the groups "staff" and "everyone" have "Read Only" privileges. With those settings, the files at the top level of your home folder will be readable by other local users. You can change the privileges to "No Access" if you wish, but then your Public and Drop Box folders will be inaccessible to others. Most likely, you don't need to change these settings.
Step 6
If there are entries in the Sharing & Permissions list for users or groups other than "me," "staff," and "everyone," delete them.
Step 7
Click the gear icon at the bottom of the Info window and select Apply to enclosed items... from the drop-down menu. Confirm. The operation may take several minutes to complete. When it does, close the Info window.

When I go to a website requiring login, and am logged in automatically, I still get prompted by Software Security Defice for master password. New w/Firefox 24.

If I go to a website that requires a login & password, and I have it set up to automatically log me in, I get automatically logged in (it remembers by userid & password for that site), but the prompt from the Software Security Device for my master password appears as well. I can cancel the prompt and it goes away, but it shouldn't show up because I'm already logged in. This problem started happening after I downloaded Firefox 24 yesterday.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Note that Firefox Sync also requires you to enter the Master Password.

Error 1856 yeah tried re-install and running as admin still have that error

yeah tried re-install and running as admin still have that error any Ideas?

Good start.
Only two things I did differently. I used a new admin account. I opened a .mov file freshly downloaded from Apple's web site.
Log into a different account with admin privileges (create a new one if necessary)
Download a .mov file and store it on the hard drive.
Open the .mov file.
Move that same file to a temp folder on hard drive and assign rights to problem user.
Log off and log in as the troubled user.
That same file should now open
Try opening one of the files that could not open before.
If that doesn't work, (I didn't do this, it was on another Apple support forum post elsewhere)
Fully uninstall QuickTime
Download the K-lite Codec pack (I downloaded the full version here http://www.free-codecs.com/Klite_codec_packdownload.htm)
Install it and accept its changes it will make
Once K-lite is installed, now you can re-install QuickTime
Try opening the file again
G'luck.

Can't see IMAP log in Server Admin

For some reason, when I click on the IMAP log in Server Admin, it's just empty. Anyone know how I can get it back? Where is the actual log so it can be viewed in the console?

The path to the log (posted across the top of the log display, if that's still visible) is /var/log/mailaccess.log
That log should be visible via Console.log, or via Terminal.app and cd /var/log and then grep or cat or whatever.
How much gets written into the various mail-related logs is controlled via (of course) Server Admin.
Server Admin > select server > Mail > Settings > Logging

Report printing failure when not logged on as admin

Using Business object XI, I have a VB 2005 .NET app that works fine when logged on with admin privileges, but fails otherwise. I've investigated and traced this down a single line of code which is the rep.PrintOut function.
The debug error report is shown at the end of this message.
Can anyone suggest a solution to this issue? Is it just a permissions problem and if so what permissions are required?
Thanks,
Steve

Hello Steve,
Thanks for the feedback. Since this appears to be a permissions issue there's one other thing to check. When the merge modules are installed there's often an option to install for "me" or for "everyone." Make sure the files are being deployed for everyone.
Here are links to some RDC and .NET documents as well as the Statement of Direction for the RDC. I'm not sure if you'll actually be able to pull them up though. Some documents require a login for the Service Market Place in order to view them. Hopefully these will work without logging in.

Problem logging in to admin account on Apex 3.1

I have just upgraded to Apex 3.1 and I'm getting an error when logging on as admin.
After I click log in I get:
Line: 35
Char: 1
Error: Object expected
Code: 0
Line 35 is : "<td colspan="1" rowspan="1" align="left"><input type="button" value="Login" id="P10_LOGIN" onclick="doSubmit('LOGIN_BUTTON');" /></td></tr>"
In fact there is an error on the page as soon as I open the admin log in screen.
I suspect that there is something missing from the images folder.

Did you remember to run the apxldimg.sql script if you're using 11g or XE?
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/install.310/e10496/post_inst.htm#BHAJIGDA
Or copy the image folder if you're using the HTTP server?

That's where the javascript files would come from.

Logged in as admin but getting message I don't have admin rights

I just upgrade to Lion. I am logged in as the admin user. When I try to download a game from a website I receive this message: "You do not have adequate operating system rights to install software on this machine. Please contact your system administrator for help."
In accounts it says I am logged in with "Admin" under my name.
There is a greyed out checkbox that is selected that says Allow user to administer this computer.
I don't know what to do?

I had the same problem but contacted customer support for the games I use (Big Fish) and they were brilliant. Sent me a link to download their new BETA version of Game Manager for Lion.
Try contacting whoever you are downloading your games from.

Annoying failures and reminders when not logged in as admin

how can i stop apple software update (asu) from constantly bugging me when i'm not logged in as an admin?
i like the automatic check (noone likes updating everything manually) but every apple program fails to install unless you're an admin. it would be much better if asu checked before it looked for updates, or let people know there are updates but they cannot be installed unless they are logged in as admin.
what's worse is if it downloads an update and the install fails because you're not an admin, asu downloads the whole file again when you do log in as admin. these files should be cached in a temporary folder in asu's 'program files' folder until the install is successful or a newer version is available.

freakin' awesome! of course, i never saw that scheduled task because it only shows when logged in as an admin, and apple is the only program i have that has its schedule there rather than in its own interface.
now that i have seen this it seems stupid that so many programs don't have their updates scheduled there.
i have not tested it as such but i have a task in my limited account that only runs when i'm logged on so i know that this will work. i also changed the schedule from a set time weekly to ‘at logon’ so it will actually get a chance to run.
edit by online?:
the scheduled task sets asu to run in the SYSTEM account but then asu seems to launch the installers with the locally logged on user's credentials, so this fixed my problem but not the underlying cause.

In regard to Time Machine. I have two accounts one is an admin account, the other is a standard user account. When I implement Time Machine when I am logged into the Admin account, is the standard user also backed up?

in regard to Time Machine.
I have two accounts on one Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8. One account is an admin account, the other is a standard user account.
When I initially implemented Time Machine I was logged into the Admin account. I allowed Time Machine to erase the drive and backup the computer. Is the standard user account contents also backed up?
Also after I completed the Time Machine backup session, I turned off Time Machine and removed the portable hard drive. I plan to return in to Time Machine after being away from the portable hard drive for approximately a month. After a short interruption of approximately one month, when the Macbook Pro is reconnected and Time Machine is turned back on, will Time Machine create a new instance of a backup? WIll the back up contain the standard user account changes?

Time Machine backs up by default all the user accounts.
When you reconnect the backup drive after one month, Time Machine will do an incremental backup and it might take a while minutes to hours depending on how much has been changed. With a gap of a month, Time Machine will have to do a lengthier than normal survey of both drives to see what has changed, so it might take some time preparing for the backup. The backup will include everything that has changed since the previous one.

How to make dyn/admin not to prompt for username and password?

Hello all
How to make dyn/admin not to prompt for username and password? I am writing a selenium job to automate cache invalidation to load test a production issue we are facing. Selenium is opening a fresh firefox session and prompting for username and password every time. I am also trying to modify my script such that it will use the same session again and not prompt for username and password. But I thought of asking this question in the group.
Your inputs will help a lot.
Thanks,
Sundar

Hi,
You can set enabled property of /atg/dynamo/servlet/adminpipeline/AuthenticationServlet/ to false. It will not prompt for authentication.

MDT 2012 - Application Bundle Install Issues- Logged in as Admin randomly between reboots

Hi Everyone,
We are on MDT 2012 / WDS... Moving to SCCM soon but not soon enough.
A new problem started in our environment and I'm not sure if it's a networking, storage, or wds server / settings issue.
The OS deployment happens completely fine, but during the application install phase (Application Bundle) if the application requires a reboot sometimes the deployment does not continue with the rest of the applications, will just stop the process and be
logged in as administrator.
I've checked the normal deployment logs - bdd.log and there is no errors, it shows the last app install but then just drops off. Almost like the machine is not reconnecting to the deployment share to continue installations after the reboot.
This is very random and does not happen on the same app or just one machine model, it's almost like a networking hiccup or something else. The apps exist on the deployment share which is on a 2008 VM with Nas storage.
Any help is appreciated, other logs to look at or if anyone else has seen similar etc...
Thank You!

Thanks for the help guys, I believe I'm all set now. Basically removed the reboot from the problematic app and put the app at the end of the app bundle.
This one was strange... It was the App-V client which I originally did not have a reboot and was the very first app installed in the bundle. With no reboot, I noticed some machines installed the app-v client then would skip all the other apps and move on
to the next phase, which is why I added a reboot.
After adding the reboot I started seeing the problem I posted above logged in as admin. So ultimately removed the reboot and added it as the last app, which seems to be working.
Thanks Again.

Session logs for shop admin

Hi Team,
I need some inputs and help.
We are using CRM ISA 6.0 SP06. We are using the webshop functionality.
We currently analyze the errors in the webshop via the session logs which we have configured.
Now, when we have done the same setup for shop admin, we are unable to see any session logs.
Session logs for shop admin are not working. Session logs for webshop works and we are able to view the same.
We have already done the below settings in http://host:port/shopadmin/admin
XCM -
appinfo:True
logfiledownload:True and restart of the J2EE engine.
We get the below error when we check for the logs:
Application error occurred during request processing.

Visa error unless logged in as admin

I'm installing a LV program on several computers running Win7. It uses VISA to communicate with three separate instruments. If I'm logged in as admin everything runs perfectly but when anyone without admin rights logs in I keep getting VISA error "resources not found". This seems to be the two serial ports on a card, COM1 which is the on board port is working. I installed this on an identical computer yesterday and did not have this problem.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you are logged in as the other user, what do the serial ports show up as in Device Manager? What do they look like in MAX?
I wonder if there is a setting, possibly some sort of Windows Group Policy that is locking out serial ports for non-admins.
Is this a real serial port (with DB9 connector) or is this a USB-RS-232 converter which gives a virtual com port? Perhaps if group policy is to disable USB ports for non-admins, it is blocking the converter from working. Just speculating.

What gives? I uncheck "Reopen windows when logging out" and it still goes back to the prev. sessions windows. Is there a fix for this?

What gives? I uncheck "Reopen windows when logging out" and it still goes back to the prev. sessions windows. Is there a fix for this?

I unchecked " Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps." in the prefs. and still it goes back to the prev windows sessions when I uncheck "Reopen windows when logging out"

Why do I still get prompts to update Divx after I've uninstalled it?

I've uninstalled Divx, at least I think I have, and I still get prompts for updates. I want these to stop. Maybe somebody out there can help me. I hate Divx, I don't want their stuff on my computer. I'm running OS X Yosemite (10.10.2) on 3.1 GHz iMac.
<Edited by Host>

Don't blame you... Tell the method you used to "uninstall" it.
My install (VERY old) has this in a Spotlight search for " divx " - All should be gone and can be deleted from the search pane*
*NOTE that if you delete from here, only the path will change to be subsequently in the Trash
