Logon Password Fails Every Time

Hi all,
I have been using this machine (G-4 0SX 10.2) at work for 3 years with the same username and password. We just got our T-line upgraded, and I magically can't logon to this particular machine anymore. I have tried using Norton Systemworks (which found and fixed major errors on two of the Hard Drives) but still can't logon. Any idea why my username and password would just stop working after upgrading the networK?

Welcome To Discussions stinkron ohio!
The first order of business is to uninstall Norton applications, with the possible exception of NAV, if they are installed!
Instructions in these links:
Norton Complete Uninstall
Remove Symantec Mac Files
37 Steps To Manually Uninstall Norton SW
Hopefully your system has not been compromised beyond repair.
Run Disk Repair & Repair Permissions, and report the results.
If those are successful, I'm not sure if this will help, but reset your password, using the instructions in one of these links:
Changing or resetting an account password
Changing your administrator password
Good Luck!

IPhone 5 iOS 7.1.4 Call failed every time when the other person hung up before me

iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.4 says Call failed every time when the other person hung up before me,
Is there anything I can do to about that please?

Hey there Yonidawit,
It sounds like you are are getting a message saying that the call failed, when the person you are talking to hangs up. I have a few things to recommend here. First close all the open apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone and test it out again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that does not resolve it, try resetting your network settings:
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
From: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Iv downloaded the 0845 wizard from the App Store. Registered my details and it has been working. But for some reason it won't let me log in and keep saying failed every time I try to use it. Iv deleted and re-downloaded the app and it still says the same?

I would say to start by looking on their web site... unfortunately, that appears to be dead.
Based on the horrible ratings on the App Store (1 star for the current version), I'm not surprised it doesn't work well.

I am getting error (-1) while updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1. The phone has gone into a recovery mode. Restore fails every time at "restoring the firmware" stage. Striped bar remains for a long time, then shows "error (-1)" and the restore fails. Help!

Thanks for your reply Michalo. I am in India and here Apple care does not work on Sundays. I have been without my phone for the entire day. Perhaps tomorrow will bring some respite. There is not solution to "error (-1)" on any forum it seems. I found one forum which suggested use of Tiny Umbrella. Any idea about that?

I reset my iPhone 5s yesterday because my fingerprint bottom is not working. It says that failed every time I was trying to put my print... Now that I reset my phone the fingerprint pass code do not appear in the setting.

Hi Emilemny,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The TouchID settings will not be available until you create a passcode, see the article linked below for more information.
iPhone 5s: Using Touch ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
You can set up Touch ID in iOS Setup Assistant or by tapping Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. To set up Touch ID, you must first set a passcode. Touch ID is designed to minimize the input of your passcode, but you need a passcode for additional security validation, such as enrolling new fingerprints.

Import from iphoto fails every time.

Import from iphoto fails every time.

It should not be a serious flaw, since this something that you only do ONCE. You don't want to use both organizer and iphoto. You'll have two sets of photos with no knowledge of each other. Import from iphoto is not meant to be a regular use item, only for the one time after you've decided organizer is what you prefer. It's fine to make a small test catalog while you decide whether iphoto or organizer suits you better, but to keep on using both is going to make you crazy in short order.

I am trying to convert a Microsoft Publisher Document to PDF but it fails every time although the reason is not clear. Any ideas?

I am trying to convert a Microsoft Publisher Document to PDF but it fails every time although the reason is not clear. Anyone else had problems like this and how do I solve it? Thanks. Ray

Hi raythree,
I'm sorry that your PDF conversion is working. Can you please tell me if you're getting a specific error message? Knowing that can help pinpoint the cause of the conversion failure. However, here are a couple of things that you could try:
Clear your browser cache (steps to do this vary by browser).
If you're using a work computer, check with your IT team to confirm if you have firewall/proxy settings that restrict the ability to upload files to the Internet.
Try another web browser. A list of supported browsers for accessing the ExportPDF service is available here: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/.
Also, note that there is a 100MB file size limit, so if your publisher file is larger than that, it won't upload to ExportPDF.
I hope this helps. But let us know if you need further assistance.
Best,
Sara

I made a new apple account but every time i download a new app it says i need to put in my old accounts password and every time I do it says incorrect how do I fix this?! I need help!

As rex already mentioned, Apps and other content are forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them. No transfers. No combining Apple IDs. Forever means forever.
In practice, this means any apps you currently have - free or paid - will need to be either repurchased using your new Apple ID or downloaded again if free. Until you refresh all of your apps, your iPad will ask for credentials to the old Apple ID any time one of the apps is updated.
Why did you feel it was necessary to create a new Apple ID?

HT4623 ios7.0.6 fails every time trying to update now what?

ios7.0.6 fails every time trying to update now what?

Are you updating over wi-fi, or cellular data? Or through iTunes. If you get the mesaage that the update is not available . Make sure you have the correct date and time on you phone. then try again.

"Password required" every time I want to edit my contacts. Why?

"Password required" every time I want to edit my contacts. Why?
Since I updated, I keep getting the same request from my contact list on my iPad. Not on my iPhone. I can't figure out where to correct this and it's driving me crazy.

Yes I'm logged in. It only does it on my iPad. I tried restyling my Apple ID password and it still does the same thing.
I'm missing something but can't figure out where. It started after I updated to ios7. Maybe there is a setting somewhere I'm missing.

Installation fails every time

My installation of Adobe Acrobat Professional 11 UE MAC ESSC fails every time I try it. I don't know how to contact Adobe to get help. I am running Mac 10.8.5. Galen Strawson

I don't have this machine but here are a few things you could look at; that is if you haven't already.
Things you could try:
Changing up the Bios Settings.
if it came with win 8. it is probably runs a uefi firmware. These often have a bios backwards compatibility mode. You could try checking those options and turn off secure boot and turn on the bios backwards compatibility mode and see if win 10 will install.
if it came with win 7, it may have a bios with those features not turned on; if that's the case try turning them on.
Note: you may lose/gain security features or boot speed by disabling or changing some of these features. But it may tell you if a uefi firmware or bios settings incompatibility that could be causing your installation issue. You could also try a different
HDD.
Also you didn't mention whether you were trying to install from a usb stick or if you burned the iso to a DVD. If you are trying from a USB and have a DVD drive. Try burning as a DVD. I had dell lattitude that would never install from my usb; it would start
installing but then it would stall, but from a dvd in the dvd drive it installed alright... kind of weird (I was installing win 7 not 10, so not sure whether it would make a difference on win 10.)
Win 10 may also run but the install is borking on your machine... this is unconventional and surely not recommended, but you could put that laptop hard drive in another machine and run the install. Then on the last reboot swap the hard drive back into your
laptop and see if it boots up.
This may allow you to try running the os and see how it works on that laptop, if that's your goal.

I have been trying to update my cc info and for some reason it has kept saying that the cc info does not match with the bank so the transcation failed every time I was trying to download something even when it's free but my cc got charged $1.- each time.

Im wondering why my post hasn't been answered yet. I did file a report with the BBB and I had a rude representative from Verizon call me named Steve. He said I can file all of the reports I want and I will just keep getting calls from him. I can understand why my phone couldn't be replaced because of the small crack. I guess I have to eat that one (but it sucks because the lollipop update is what caused the problems) but what about all of the data overage I had to pay for for trying to fix this phone because of a lollipop update. I dont think it is fair to have to pay that as well. In addition, because I have an east coast phone number but live on the west coast, I cannot have tech support after 8pm. Verizon has cut this off. Im very dissatisfied and I have been a customer of Verizon for 13 years. Im hoping for a response this time.

Apple ID password login every time I used an application

Hello,
I'm getting an Apple ID Password Login every time I used an application, phone (Verizon, iPhone 4), or any other programs. I login correctly and it still ask me to login again. I don't think my phone needs to get any updates, becasue I update my phone and applications when I get home at night.
Anyone having this problem? This is annoying!
Thanks

I am trying to export the PDF file and conversion fails every time.

I am trying to export the PDF file and conversion fails every time. File is too large of too complex. What do I do? One file is about 55 mb and the other is 58 mb.

Try extracting part of the file and see if the extracted part can be Exported. If so, repeat with the next set of pages. When done, try to load all into the first file.
