  • Mountain Lion root password

    I can't get the Mountain Lion root password set using the Users & Groups system preferences panel.  When I go to Terminal and type "su -", the new password is not accepted.  Could it be a bad root security certificate?

    If the account you are using, when starting Terminal, is an 'admin' account as specified by System Preferences -> Users & Groups (or it might be called Accounts) -> account_name (Admin), then the 'sudo' password is the password for the account you are currently using.
    If you are using a standard account, then sudo is not going to work.  However, if using a standard account, then you could:
    su admin_account
    password: admin_account_password
    # you can use:
    sudo command_to_be_exected_by_root
    password: admin_account_password

  • Incorrect password for mountain lion pdf

    Sorry, I'm french so i don't speak english very well.
    My problem is : i can't open the pdf withe the code because it tell me that the password is incorrect. Someone has an idea or is in the same case.
    Thx

    You're not alone.  Apple technical support tells me their server is under pressure because so many people are trying to download Mountain Lion today -- I'm one of them. They suggest first shutting down the entire computer. Then restart and go back to the Apple email where the PDF is located. TYPE in (do not copy) the password you have been sent. They say that some systems' security systems have an intentional foil that stops the copying in of passwords.
    They tell me what is outlined above has worked for a good number of people who have called today with the same problem. It didn't work for me, most likely because of their server issues, they think.  They suggest retrying from time to time. In my case, they will also call me back in a few hours to see how this has gone.
    Good luck.

  • My OS X Mountain Lion PDF wont open - invaild code - Please help

    I bought this MacBook Pro on june 21. Its brand new, so yes I qualify for the free Mountain Lion upgrade. I finally got my 2 emails and I seriously have no idea what to do. The instructions make no sense at all. I open the PDF and enter my code I was given via Email and its too long / doesnt fit in the Protected Password PDF. I click enter, doesnt work, I enter parts of it, and it doesnt work. no matter what it doesnt work. I tried entering the code on the Reedem section of the Mac App store, still does NOT work. What am I doing worng? I called the Apple store and they said I was entering the code in worng. I am NOT entering it in wrong, I copy paste it and it just doesnt work. I entered it multiple times with the - and without it and it just wont work! Someone please help! I was promised a FREE mountain lion upgrade and I really want it for the Airplay feature!
    I can provide my Claim number / password if needed.

    Since these forums are user to user only, you will have to deal with Apple on this; I'd suggest emailing their MAS support and telling them that you've gotten an incorrect code (copy/paste it in the email). Ask them for a new one or instructions on what to do with it.
    Just an added thought: when you launch MAS (from your dock, Launchpad, or Applications folder), on the home / front page, do you see a "Redeem" link under Quick Links on the right side of the page? When you click on that, you should get a second window with a "enter your gift card or download code" section? Or is that the place where you've already tried it?

  • Mountain lion redemption password

    how long should i wait for the password for mountain lion free upgrade redemption?
    I have been waiting several hours since I received the locked pdf with the app download code!

    I'm also waiting now on day 2 for the App Store code.  It would have been nice if Apple had carved out a small piece of their data center to look-up the users who purchased their new Macs withing the time period and automatically activated the free download for them.  This is not rocket science, its the kind of service we have grown to expect from Apple.
    C'mon Apple, you are better than this.  An intern progreammer could have done this in less than an hour.

  • After updating to mountain lion, icloud password has not been accepted by system preferences

    After updating to mountain lion my icloud password in the system preferences has not been accepted anymore. I already changed the password. Also the new one is not accepted by the system preferences. On iPhone and online everything is fine. Any idea?

    I just got off the phone with Apple Support. They say they are having problems with iCloud and this issue should be resolved in 3-4 hours. We'll see......

  • Mountain Lion pdf manual

    I'm in immediate need of a pdf manual for Mountain Lion.  My mom just got a Macbook Air for Christmas.  I'm a Windows person so I'm learning as well in order to teach her. 
    All I can find online is the Snow Leopard manual, but that is a few years old.  I know that Mountain Lion is version 10.8.xx right now, so I want to get the most up to date information.
    This will be the best way for her to learn the os.  She connects to the internet through the cell phone hot spot, so she has to watch her data usage.  All she does is get email, look at Facebook, and play games already on the computer.  
    She will not take advantage of all the videos etc on the internet due to a data allowance on her cell phone plan.
    Is such a manual available?  Thanks.

  • Mountain lion startup password

    My mac do not request a pass word on startup. How do I re-enter my startup password.

    Open System Preferences>Users & Groups fourth line down. At the bottom of the left side select Login Options, you may need to unlock the panel to make changes. At the top in Automatic Login set it to "Off", meaning it will ask for your password to log in.

  • No autofill or passwords in Safari and Chrome Safari Mountain Lion

    I need some H E L P !

    Same problem with my MacBookPro and Mountain Lion. Passwords on the Apple site (like this support site) work fine. My brokerage account does not and they tell me it's not them, but an Apple issue. Also, serial numbers on some of my smaller aps have disappeared; at least one vendor told me it was a common Mountain Lion experience.
    I like Mountain Lion but I liked autofill and solid app validation even better. This is a turd in the punchbowl. Hard to believe that a company bent on zero flaws would let this slip through.Could it be due to the sandboxing or other security measure? Is Apple becoming like the US government -- so bent on "security" that it can't fulfill its own mission?

  • HT2476 After updating to OS X Mountain Lion, there is a password locked pdf document in the Downloads Stack. Does anyone know what password is required to access this file?

    After updating to OS X Mountain Lion, there is a password locked pdf document in the Downloads Stack. Does anyone know what password is required to access this file?

    Hello, if your install disk is locked (I assume with FileVault) there is no way to change the password. If it weren't locked there were at least two solutions. As far as I know, the only solutions now are:
    - contact your dad
    - erase and reinstall the OS X clean
    Let us know.

  • Enrolled for OS X Mountain Lion Up-to-Date programme; password incorrect in received PDF-file.

    Dear Apple Support,
    Recently I enrolled for the OS X Mountain Lion Up-to-Date programme. I was issued two emails afterwards: 1 containing a PDF-file with my redemption code for ML download through the AppStore, the other email containing a password to open the PDF-file. I've tried it several times, but the PDF-file keeps telling me the provided password is incorrect.
    Could you please send me a new PDF-file with a password that works?
    Regards, Mariana, The Netherlands

    Thanks for the tip Bandit.
    I wonder if there are other users with the same problem though.
    Regards, Mariana

    If this doesn't help, be more clear.

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
