No text in box asking for admin UN/PW, cannot enter text

I migrated a user to another machine using Migration Assistant. Two odd things have come up:
1. His name at the upper right corner is off center in the menu bar. It's a little too high.
2. A keychain dialog box came up and a dialog box came up for admin UN/PW for something else. There is no text in the boxes and I cannot enter anything.
It's a new image I have rolled out to about 100 users no problem. It doesn't happen with any other user on the machine so I am sure it's something in his home. Is there a preference or something that could be corrupt that is causing this?
Thanks

No can do. Got to be an easier way. HD failing on users old machine. Hardware failure. Deleting profile and moving it over again is the easy way out....if I could do it.

Data merged text into boxes assigned for InCopy doesn't display merged text, only the placeholder

I think I found a bug.
I created an InDesign document for use in InCopy for a client. The end goal is to data merge a whole array of documents for the client, who can open them in InCopy and update the text.
I designed the layout
I created the assignments for InCopy (which stories and images the InCopy user could edit)
I then set up a data merge to pre-populate content like contact details, portrait photos etc
When I merged the final document, two things happened.
The images didn't respond to the Content Placement Options (fill proportionally), they all just got placed at 100% size ratio (they did centre though)
The data merge fields didn't populate the placeholders with the relevant text. All of the fields just came up as their placeholders <<Phone>> <<Fax>> etc
As soon as I deleted the assignments and re-merged, the image settings were being applied and the fields were populating the documents.
I'm using the latest version on CC, 10.0.0.70.
Anyone else had this issue? It's very specific but it is a bug.

A couple of other users have reported similar problems, and it appears to be a bug when you go from preview to merge. If you undo out of preview, or skip it entirely, before hitting themerge button, does it work?

Cannot download Firefox only get a necessay permission box asking for a password and cannot get beyond this.

nothing further happens. I tried tools, security, exceptions but
tools has no exceptions tab. Both on explorer and google, same

I installed the printer everything works until I try to access certain settings in the Embedded Web Server. I pops up a box asking for admin login. Initially, the status page claimed the Admin password was set even though I never set that up. Through chatting with tech support rests cleared this, it is now reporting Not Set. However, I still can not login to check/change settings etc.
I think this printer had been purchased then returned to the store because the manual was missing. I downloaded the manual and did not find any mention of how to access the password settings. So far tech support has not been able to answer my question,
Is there a default?
How do I access the EWS settings -> security to setup a password?

Hello MREnder,
From what I am reading, you may need to call in to get a factory reset done. These resets can only be done over the phone. You can find the number at eprintcenter.com under the support section.

How to disable dialogue box asking for exchange user/psswd

Everytime a particular user sends me an email, just by clicking on that email or opening it, I get this annoying pop up dialogue box asking for name and password.
It looks like an exchange server thats connected to the users account and has nothing to do with my email account. I don't use exchange.
I have to hit cancel 3X and then it automatically prompts me every few seconds.

Solved.
It was because the folder was from time machine backup that I just dragged and dropped to desktop.

You're not obligated to insert a gift code. But you can purchase gift codes on the Apple online store (gift cards or certificates) or Apple Retail store
Gift codes are pre paid cards so you can use credit on the iTunes Store to purchase content

IMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

Is sounds like it might for some reason booting into Safe Mode, which does prompt for a password.
Try a PRAM reset:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If that doesn't help, restart holding down the option key which should take you to the startup manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrows on the keyboard if the kb is Bluetooth), tap 'enter'. Does it boot normally now?

Freecorder asked for admin access & now i don't know what it installed

hi there!
first time writing a thread. i stupidly installed freecorder. it is reknown ... more like notorious for installing all kinds of garbage on windows. they must have just come up with a dmg for mac - as applian's customer service still has no idea that there's a mac app. it asked for admin access during install. briefly afterwards, i realized that that was not normal for an app to do - so i started looking around & sure enough, it's filled with nasty stuff. i have since deleted the app, but wondering what else it could have left on my computer. also if there is a way to see what changes it made, or why it even needed access to my admin ...
i'd be grateful for any help. still getting to know mac.
thanks,
adam

It's normal for your Mac to prompt for your admin password when installing apps.
If the app is still in the trash... drag it out of the Trash to the Desktop.
Then install this utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
AppCleaner will not only uninstall the app but all the associated files.
If you emptied the trash, click the Spotlight icon top right in your screen. Type freecorder in the search field.
Hopefully that will help you find any of the associated files.
You are correct in that it's a nasty one > http://download.cnet.com/Freecorder/3640-2071_4-11594257.html

That would be the password for your FTP server. You can only get this from your web hosting company. You should contact your web hosting company and ask them for your FTP Publishing details.
Then select your web site name at the top of the list of web pages in iWeb. You'll see input fieldd for your FTP details. Enter what you get from your web hosting provider in those fields.

Compressord asks for admin password

We have a Workgroup manager environment with all Applications in the Applications
folder being allowed, including Compressor. Sometimes the Application will hang
in a loop and compressord keeps asking for admin password. An excerpt if the

Ask for Admin Creds. at app startup and not during execution of shell commands

I am developing an in house application in XCode w/ Cocoa-Applescript (ASOC). My application runs a number of commands using do shell script. Some of the commands require admin authentication so when the app is run and the commands executed, the user is prompted to authenticate w/ admin credentials. If there is more than 5 minutes in between commands the user is re-prompted.
My question is - is there a way to ask for admin credentials at application start maybe as part of the on applicationWillFinsihLaunching_(aNotication) function so that a user can run the application and only have to enter admin credentials one time?

Unfortunatly, I won't be able to do that. Defintly something I looked into however. We are reyling on a third party management suite to perform the application installations and AD binding. The app installs and the AD bind don't require Admin authentication because they run as Root through Casper (management suite) and I must wait until Casper has bound the system to the domain in order to create the mobile account. So I can't couple the commands that require Admin authentication together.
I really appreciate your ideas and welcome any other you or any other members might have! This has been very thought provoking.
Your 1st idea is interesting however, I hestiate to store a password.

Acrobat Pro installed as part of CS3 - asks for Admin password at launch

Installed CS3 whilst logged in as Admin, for a Leopard rollout.
All apps in the Suite work except Acrobat Pro, which asks for an Admin password every time it is launched. I have Googled this and tried all suggestions from the simple 'Fix permissions' to editing the ''AcroENUPro80SelfHeal.xml'' and ''RdrENU90SelfHeal.xml''.
Nothing as yet fixes this issue
As a last resort and with no real believe that it will work, I am re installing CS3 again under Admin rights and running every app in the Suite first before adding to the new image. I am sure that when I installed the first time I ran all updates and launched every app in the suite.
Cheers
Phil

Ran all updaters, on 3 Macs. All stil continue to ask for Admin name and password.
Googling around this seems to be an ongoing issue with Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader.
Cheers
