Pass word not working when installing software

My password works correctly all over the computer and at the Apple account, I can change details and so on. But, when I attempt to install software, in this case supplied with a camera, the username/password box appears, and my password is now wrong.
I suspect a mismatch between keychain and the apple password. No remebered previous passwords work, either.
Help???

You might like to read this. Just for future reference. AFAIK, there's no way to set up an Administrator account without using a password. If you want just one password for both you user (Administrator) account and your Apple ID (which you used to log into this forum) then, I suppose, you could have the same password (although Apple ID's require, I think, at least one upper-case letter and (I really don't recall) one number? You could use the same password, but you can't just ignore the passwords.
You can, however bypass having to use your password on start-up by selecting your user account, unlocking the options, and set log-in options to "Automatically log in user clinton," for example. And things are just going to get worse in Mountain Lion! There, security is set-up, out-of-the-box" to not allow you to open any application downloaded from the Internet unless it's from the App Store or a 'trusted developer'. It's an option that you can turn off, but it's just another safety feature - as are Administrator account passwords.
I don't know of any tech note that deals with passwords - let me look around... they're just a necessary evil. I do find that I have to 'clean out' my Keychain every six months or so... always an expired certificate lying around. Don't mean to complicate matters more, but I like to keep a 'clean' Keychain.
Google "apple user password" and you'll come up with some articles. Do not ever set a firmware password - you can get really hosed doing that.
I don't think I really answered your questions too well - passwords are just a necessary evil in dealing with computers these days and OSX is amongst the securest OS around.
Sorry I couldn't have been of more help...

PowerPoint add-in is not working when installed for All Users using msi installer.

Hi All,
I have created PowerPoint add-in using c#-vsto. I have created msi installer to install this add-in with following two options:
1. Just me
2. Everyone
However, add-in is not working properly (Events and custom task panes are not working).
I have created registry key as below
1. for "Everyone" : HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\Powerpoint\Addins\MyAdd-in
2. for Just me : HKPU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Powerpoint\Addins\MyAdd-in
But when I set InstallAllUsersVisible property to False (When add-in is installed only for current user ), then add-in works fine for current user.
Please let me know if anything is missing!!!
Thanks

Hi,
This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office, the issue is more related to develop the add-in, you'd better post your question to the MSDN forum for VSTO

Itunes Not Working When Installing New Version

I installed the newest version of itunes today. I was a bit afraid that it wouldn't work, because the last time I installed Itunes 5, it stopped working. But 3 days later, Itunes started to work again.
Well, the same thing happened this time and it's not working.
I tried uninstalling quicktime and 're-installing/repairing' itunes, but that's not working.
I haven't uninstalled itunes because I don't know what will happen with my purchased music. So, if I did uninstall itunes and later on try to install itunes again, what would happen with my purchased music?
And any suggestions as to how I can get itunes working?
Thanks.

hi thegoodfight!
And yes, I do have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on this PC.
... thought so. every now and then the NIS 2005 itunes "error-message-free" launch suppression problems would clear up overnight of their own accord.
lets give the trusty Lorraine M technique a whirl. (it's the most reliable technique i've seen with regard to fixing the NIS 2005 things.)
Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
if no joy with that, we'll try working through another few possibilities with the error-message-free launch suppression problems.

When I downloaded Lion why did my microsoft word not work, When I downloaded Lion why did my microsoft word not work

Help!! My Microsoft Work does not work with Lion!! Now all my doc will not open

Because Office 2004 is a PPC-only suite and will not work with Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011 for OS X. Or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, whose functionality is similar to Office 2007 for Windows.

Officially CS6 Serial code not working when installing..

In 2012, I've bought CS6 form the Adobe site.
Between 2012 and now I installed this on my Imac and on a Macbook Pro.
Now I have a new laptop and want to install CS6. But when I start the installation it breaks down and tells me my serial code is incorrect or a fake one. This is very strange because I bought CS6 with a official code. But whatever I try I can't install it on my new Mac laptop.
Can someone tell he how I can fix this, and get it to work on my laptop?

Mboy7112,
Can you please share your serial number in a private message so that I can try and check what's going on with the installation/activation.
Cheers,

Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?
This page might help you out...

Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.

I just installed Photoshop CC 2014, but Latest version of Bridge will not work when I want to open it from PS

Any idea why is Bridge latest version not working when trying to open it in Photoshop CC 2014 ? (French version) ? When trying, Creative Cloud app will open to ask if I want to download newest version, which I did numerous times now.
Thank you

Hi Eric,
Here's how a similar problem was resolved between PS and BR.
The issue was confirmed by ChunXiaYang at Adobe staff and solution put in the forum discussion on June 19 (no. 13). Here's a copy:
I have confirmed that this is a known issue before release. And the workaround is to uninstall and reinstall PS 2014. Then Bridge can be launched by selecting 'Browse in Bridge' in PS2014.
Please try the installation, and let me know whether it works. Thanks!
It woks just fine since I unistalled and reinstalled PS 2014.

I did this with a fresh install of the entire CC package. As soon as the CC packages updated, CC Bridge broke. Unistalled CC PS, reinstalled again, CC Bridge works, but CC PS updates itself again, and breaks CC Bridge.
You know... The whole move to CC has been a massive cluster... I've struggled with the CC packages for my entire subscription year, and now I'm 1.5 month away from needing to throw down another $720 for no reason what-so-ever, just so we can Beta test your really screwed up subscription services.

provide solution.

Well I didn't enter a hostname from my ISP, but I did need to enter as a Host Domain the sub-domain (CNAME) that we use for our server. Don't know all the proper terminology, but I hope that's clear enough to someone to help. As soon as I did that, it worked again.
Thanks for the tip,

That error shows up when a phone is jailbroken or you are trying to downgrade the iOS version. Neither of which is supported by apple.

CS3 Postscript fonts not visible when Installed with Suitcase 11.0 Vista Ult64

CS3 Postscript fonts not visible when Installed with Suitcase 11.0 on Vista Ultimate 64bit.
Truetype and Opentype work fine. I have searched through all the forums here multiple times, but not found a solution. The only workaround I found was to manually put the font files in c:/ProgramFiles(x86)/CommonFiles/Adobe/Fonts.
When I put any font files in that folder, they show up in CS3 for use, but not in windows apps. I thought I would make a permanent work around by placing all of my uninstalled font files in that folder, then use suitcase to install them from there. That didn't work because EVERY font in that folder is available to CS3 and turned on. Do they get installed when you put them in there?? It didn't seem like they were installed, and windows apps didn't see them.
These are workarounds anyway. My main goal is to have suitcase work so I can organize my fonts efficiently. Extensis blames the font and CS3. I have read that there are adobe issues with other font management software as well as suitcase. Any help would be appreciated.

Got mine FIXED here is what i did:
Windows 7 64bit SP1, CS 5
Postscript fonts (comprising of *.pfb + *.pfm files) did not show up in any CS5 app, but showed OK in Word, Excel, Notepad etc.
Tried activating through Suitcase Fusion 2 and also through FontExpert 2009 - but neither of them made the fonts visible in CS5 apps
1) open Start Menu/Control Panel/Fonts
2) on the sidebar there is "Font settings" item
3) set the settings as i did
[ ] Hide fonts based on language settings
[ x ] Allow fonts to be installed using a shortcut (advanced)
FIXED mine,
now i can use Suitcase Fusion 2 to install any PFB/PFM fonts without any problems...
PLEASE IF THIS WORKED FOR YOU TOO, LEAVE A MESSAGE HERE SO OTHERS KNOW IF THIS FIX IS 100% WORKING
