My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password as it is a wireless printer and I never had to set one up. It keeps asking me for admin name and password...
My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password that it keeps prompting me to give, as it is a wireless printer and that info was not required when we set up the printer. I have checked all diagnostics and connections and they are all good/passed. I am so frustrated!!! This has never happened in the past.
What is asking you for an admin name and password? What does the dialog say, exactly?
What model iMac are you using, and which OS version?
If it is earlier than Lion or Snow Leopard, try deleting the printer and adding it again as explained in this document

Otherwise you can "reset the printing system" as explained here

Why does it keep asking me for the login keychain password?
I am having a problem where my imac keeps asking me for a "login keychain" password. I type in my password every time, but that doesn't fix my problem. I need to know if this is bad or not, and how i can turn it off.
Thanks!Hey there Daniel,
It sounds like you are being prompted over and over for your Login Keychain, and entering it does not seem to make the prompts stop. I would start by running First Aid on the Keychain with this article:
Mac OS X 10.6: Solving problems with keychains
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph7296
To check keychains for problems using Keychain First Aid:
Open Keychain Access, located in the Utilites folder in the Applications folder.
Choose Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid.
Enter your user name and password.
Select Verify and click Start. Any problems found will be displayed.
If there are problems, select Repair, and then click Start.
If that does not resolve the issue, I would next reset your Keychain:
In Keychain Access, choose Preferences from the Keychain Access menu.
If available, click the Reset My Default Keychain button. This will remove the login keychain and create a new one with the password provided.
If Reset My Default Keychain is not available, choose Keychain List from the Edit menu.
Delete the "login" keychain.
The next time you log in to the account, you can save your current password in a keychain.
From: OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password

- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account. -
Mail keeps asking me for my Verizon POP password!
Hello,
The Mac Mail program keeps asking me for my Verizon POP outgoing password. It is so annoying because I have the password stored in the program's preferences for my Verizon.net account, and I know it is stored in the Keychain utility. I have never had this problem on my old mac which ran Mac OS 10.3.9, but I seem to have this problem several times EVERYDAY. I have my outgoing mail server as outgoing.verizon.net. I called Apple tech support about this, and they had me change my authentication settings from Authenticated POP (APOP) to Password. However, after saving that setting, the stupid program reverts back to APOP!!
What can I do so that Mac Mail will stop acting like it is suffering from alzhiemer's, and remember my password?I suggest running Keychain First Aid on your login Keychain via Keychain Access.
The Authenticated POP (APOP) is for the incoming mail server, not for the outgoing or SMTP server. -
I changed my email address, now I constantly get a pop-up asking me for my Apple ID Password, showing my old email address. I am able to access everything but it is annoying.
Try:
Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...now sign back in with your new ID. -

I got an iPad2 for Christmas and went to the Apple Store to have them transfer over my contacts from my iPhone4S to the iPad2. They said they had to do it over iCloud and help me set up an iCloud account. But I had an old Apple ID (one without an "@icloud.com" name or other email address attached to it). When they did that it basically screwed up my whole Apple ID account. Now, both my iPhone4S and iPad2 randomly prompt me to enter my Apple ID password for my old Apple ID!, which they said does not exist anymore. So confused...please advise.
The email you should NOT have published, is your iCloud, not Apple ID
You Apple ID is a valid email address
This is a user forum, not Apple customer service.
I gather the security question did not work.
If you have an email address, why not use that?
If this fails you have to contact support and schedule help. -
My iPad 2 keeps asking me for my apple ID password? Why?

ThanksI had the same problem, and was able to pin-point one of my app called "LINE" by Naver was causing this issue. So for those of you who have this same issue and also have LINE, here is the solution from LINE support, which resolved my issue.
[1] Please update your LINE app from here:
https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/line/id443904275?mt=8
(If you have already got the most recent version please follow the steps below.)
[2] Please try the following steps:
1) Tap your iPhone [Settings]
2) Tap [Store] (On iOS6 this will be shown as [ iTunes Store/App Store]
3) Tap the box that starts with [Apple ID: ] at the bottom
4) Tap [Sign Out]
5) Start up LINE without signing in again and tap [More] on LINE’s main menu.
6) Tap [Settings] > [Stickers] > Purchase History]
7) Tap [Restore Sticker Purchases]
6) When required, enter your Apple ID and password at the pop-up window and tap [OK]
** Don't worry about lossing stickers that you purchased, I completed above process and all the purcahsed stickers are still there ** -
I have just updated my mcbook pro to OS X Mountain Lion. Then Mail hasn't worked properly. Before I updated it, I could use Mail and it worked properly. I have been trying to fix it by stting my e-mail account but it didn't work
Sorry, if I sound silly on this next question, or string of questions, but:
What does EFI stand for?
Is it an acronym for something?
I thought that my MacPro is 64bit? Well that is as far as I remember the salesman telling me, back when I did the B.T.O spec.
I am running 64bit apps [in full 64bit mode] as far as I understand. Like the CS suiite.
If I look at "About Photoshop…" it says — Version 12.1 x64
Doesn't that mean that it is running 64bit apps?
Or are you saysing that the "entire operating system" / "bios" or whatever it is called in Mac language, is not actually capable of running as 64bit?
I need to find my box, that came with the MacPro, ans just have a look at the info that is detailed on it. As as far as I can remember there was even a big "64bit" flashy thing, somewhere on the outside of the box.
But in the meantime, if you can perhaps help with the earlier questions.
And perhaps one more …
Where woudl I find the info / persons that I could investigate that "Hack", as I may need to investigate that a little. If anything just to be better informed, for the future. At the end of the day, if I have to scrub the entire Mac to the beginging, and reload everything, so be it, at least it will be a learning curve in the process.
I have all the legal software installers etc, so all that it will cost me is time, if it does "kill" the operating system … -
I have loaded iCloud on my iPad and I can't purchase anything new through iTunes. The security questions keep coming up. I answer them and then I get a blank square and nothing. Please help.
iTunes has made it a required thing, that even though you are using itunes gift cards you still need to have your billing information filled out.

HELP
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad. Take note of the last part in my post about using recovery mode. That is probably your only option now.

Why is Mail asking me for the name of an smtp server for an email address that doesn't exist?
I've migrated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion on a new Mac, but in trying to use Mail on ML, it keeps asking me for the name of an smtp server for an email address that's never existed. The addy has my user name correct, but the server part of the address doesn't exist, or at least I've never used an email address with that provider. On ML there's no plist file for Mail, so nothing to delete there. What else can I do to get Mail working? The only other option I have is to abandon Mail as being crippled and useless, and use Postbox, which for it's price (US$9.95) is an attractive option. OTOH, I've paid for Mail after all, so it really ought to work. Any clues as to what I can do to stop its nonsensical behaviour? How do I file a bug report?
TIA.
