Password Problem for some applications:

Password Problem for some applications: I'm unable to download Adobe Reader, Microsoft updates. I have no password set to start the computer, applications such as Pages, Numbers, Keynote require no password for updates.
When I try to update Microsoft or Adobe Reader, first I try with no password, I get a hint and I know exactly what it means, but still unable to download. I don't know enough about passwords as to why some I can download and others I can't. So I don't know what I should read. I'm the only user of this computer and prefer not to have to deal with passwords. I'm using a MacBook Pro, Mac OS 10.9.3

Oh what a tangled web we weave. I read up on keychain and I don't understand what I'm reading. Right now I cannot download my email on my computer, I can access it through the cloud. I'm sure it will be the same for the other iCloud feathers. When I go to preferences and select iCloud when ever I try to sign in I get some dialog box it shows up "A keychain cannot be found to store 1076701306. It doesn't matter whether I reset it or cancel it out iCloud preferences remains grayed out.
In keychain access on the left side under keychains and Read's local item, systems, and systems roots.
When I select local items nothing shows up to the right under the name column even when down under all items is selected nothing shows up. And nothing shows up to the right when under categories I selected the other options password etc. On the other hand when I select under keychains systems, systems roots I do get items to show up on the right side under names under all items, passwords, etc. Where do I start?

What is the fix for some applications repeatedly asking permission to accept incoming connections?
On every restart, AutoPairs and Epson Event Manager asks me to reject or agree to allow incoming connections. It is very aggravating and time-wasting. I know other Mac users who have the identical problem with other applications on their Macs.
Isn't there some way to make my Mac understand that "Yes" means "Yes" once and for all?
I am presently running Yosemite, but this was a problem with prior OS X versions too.

This is a comment on why you might, or might not, want to use the built-in Application Firewall.
The firewall blocks incoming network traffic, regardless of origin, on a per-application basis. By default it's off, and when turned on, it allows applications digitally signed by Apple, and only those applications, to listen on the network. It does not block outgoing traffic, nor can it distinguish between different sources of incoming traffic, nor does it filter traffic by content.
No matter how it's configured, the firewall is not, as some imagine, a malware filter. If that's what you expect it to do, forget it. All it will do is bombard you with pointless alerts.
Consider some scenarios in which you may expect the firewall to be useful.
1. You enable file sharing, and you allow guest access to certain folders. That means you want people on your local network, but not outsiders, to be able to access those shared folders without having to enter a password. In the default configuration, the firewall will allow that to happen. The router prevents outsiders from accessing the shares, whether the application firewall is on or off. But if your computer is portable and you connect it to an untrusted network such as a public hotspot, the firewall will still allow access to anyone, which is not what you want. It does not protect you in this scenario.
2. You unknowingly install a trojan that steals your data and uploads it to a remote server. The firewall, no matter how it's configured, will not block that outgoing traffic. It does nothing to protect you from that threat.
3. A more likely scenario: The web browser or the router is compromised by an attacker. The attack redirects all web traffic to a bogus server. The firewall does not protect you from this threat.
4. You're running a public web server. Your router forwards TCP connection requests on port 80 to your Mac, and the connections are accepted by the built-in web server, which is codesigned by Apple. The application firewall, still configured as above, allows this to happen. An attacker hacks into the system and tries to hijack port 80 and replace the built-in web server with one that he controls. The good news here is that the firewall does protect you; it blocks incoming connections to the malicious server and alerts you. But the bad news is that you've been rooted. The attacker who can do all this can just as easily turn off the firewall, in which case it doesn't protect you after all.
5. You're running a Minecraft server on the local network. It listens on a high-numbered port. You, as administrator, have reconfigured the firewall to pass this traffic. An attacker is able to log in to a standard account on the server. He figures out how to crash Minecraft, or he just waits for you to quit it, and then he binds his own, malicious, Minecraft server to the same port. The firewall blocks his server, and because he's not an administrator, he can't do anything about it. In this scenario, the security is genuine.
6. Here is a more realistic scenario in which you might have reason to enable the firewall. Your MacBook has sharing services enabled. You want those services to be available to others on a home or office network. When you're on those networks, the firewall should be off. When you move to an untrusted network, you can either turn off all the services, or enable the firewall with a non-default configuration to block them. Blocking is easier: one click instead of several.

I have a new email and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address

i have a new email so have a new apple ID now and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address. help!

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

Helpviewer displays empty window for some applications

I just went to check Help in Mail for something and got a blank window. I've seen this before so i walked through the X-Labs excellent "Troubleshooting HelpViewer" article, which has helped me in the past. But the basic dumping of cache files and mail related plist files did not help.
As suggested in the X-Labs article I enabled tracing for HelpViewer, lots of data information when invoking Helpviewer works, but not much when it doesn't, the following is typical:

* Mail, and other apps are otherwise working correctly
* Mail Version 2.0.5 (746/746.2)
* Tiger Version 10.4.4
* I don't know when this problem may have arisen - first noticed today.
Any Suggestions? Only major recent change was the 10.4.4 upgrade a few days ago, but i don't know if this problem existed prior to that.
Thanks for any help out there!

I just went through this and it appears that my Focusrite Saffire was the culprit. I connected all the outputs on the focusrite according to the way the jacsk on the back were labeled and then set up the multichannel speaker setup to match. Then I went into STP, created a pink noise clip and panned it around, the LFE, center and rears were not in the right place.
I reconnected the hardware to match the 5.1 pan pot in STP then changed the multichannel speaker setup to match. Everything appears to be correct now but I would have loved to have been able to just assigned the output busses to correct outputs in the saffire.
Next step is to pan that pink noise around with my SPL meter to calibrate the room.

Java Problems With Some Applications

Ever since I updated Java Web Start at the end of September I've had problems getting some applications to open correctly. I know that's the problem too because it happened right after I did the update. I updated, restarted the computer, tried to launch an application, and it didn't open up. What happens is the application icon bounces in the dock and then shuts down, almost like it's crashing.
What's weird though is that it's only the applications...all web-based Java stuff is fine.
Is there anyway I can roll back to the previous version of Java Web Start?

If you didn't repair permissions after updating, then I suggest that you do so now. Except this time, do so from your install DVD.
Repairing permissions from the Tiger or Leopard DVD
Boot up from your Tiger or Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
If Disk First aid is able to complete the repair now click on the "Repair permissions" button.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer.

See Knowlege Base Article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature

After installing and/or updating an OS (Operating System).
After installing software.
After burning sessions

How can I hide my cam for some applications like messenger, skype, etc.

Hi,
How could I hide my cam for some applications?
Thanks in advance!

There's a support file in the System/Library/QuickTime folder that you can move elsewhere temporarily: QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component. Don't delete it, just move it. Any apps you open from that point will not have access to the camera. Move the file back to re-activate it (you may need to reboot).
There is also an AppleScript to do the same thing, but I can't guarantee it works for 10.8.

MMC Password Problem for E71 and Possible Solution

Hi,
I wanted to share with you the following (took me some time to figure it out...).
On E71 there is a possibiity to remotely lock the phone via an SMS with a specific code you can define. Now if you didn't protect the MMC with an own password before, after the remote lock, the MMC will become protected and the password for it is the SMS code you used for the remote lock. Note that the SMS code doesn't have to be the same as the code with which you unlock the phone itself after the remote lock (except of course if you define them both to be the same).
I hope it helps, at least for some cases. Funny that this is not described in any manual or whatsoever (at least I couldn't find it)....
This was tested on the E71-1 (33), RM-346, product code 0558786), FW Version 100.07.76, with an original Nokia 8GB microSD-HC MMC memory card.
Cheers,
dubi
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had this same problem. My memory card suddenly getting corrupted, but I managed to solve it. I believe the source of the problem is the Remote Lock and the Device Lock of the unit. I have an E63 unit (same as E71).
The problem started after I enabled the Device Lock and Remote Lock of my E63 unit. After a couple of hours, I tried to manage my apps in the memory card. To my surprise, it's corrupted! I didn't panic because I believe I could retrieve the files with my PC. But when I inserted my memory card to a memory reader into my PC, the card is unreadable. I had a feeling that the card is really corrupted. But how? I just got this unit almost a day ago. I didn't do anything odd. I'm an OOP-Design Patterns oriented programmer so I'm not newbie when it comes to best practices.
As I searched the web, I found that there are cases too that had this same exact problem. And their guess is also the Device Lock.
So what I did is I disable the Remote Lock and the Device Lock. I checked my memory card and it's still corrupted!
So, I turn off my unit and turn it on again, it's still corrupted!
I removed the memory card while the unit is on (Make sure you use the remove memory card feature of your unit!!!) and then reinserted the card, and it worked.
In summary, to solve this memory corrupted problem. Try disabling the Remote Lock and Device Lock. To disable the Device Lock, revert the password to "12345" (Do not type the quotes). Remove the memory card (Use the remove memory card feature of your unit!!!). Re-insert card and problem fixed.

Computer iMac7,1 has been giving sundry problems for sometime. Within the last six weeks I have reinstalled the OS (Snow Leopard),without affecting the overall contents of the hard drive.
±3 weeks later the problems became more serious and I againreinstalled the OS and installed OS 6.6.7 from the internet.
I used the option to restore from the external backup driveand went back some time as it was my intention to reinstall individualcomponent in an attempt to find out where the problem might lie. This hasintroduced an entirely new problem! If I open Time Machine from the desktop itappears that all backups from late 2009 to June 2011 are intact. But, in thiscase there are none of the restore functions &c on screen. The latter areonly shown if Time Machine is opened from the menu bar or from the dock but, inthis case, available are only backups in late 2009!
I also opened the Apple Hardware Test in an attempt toestablish the nature of the problem. The ‘quick’ version said there’s nothingwrong; the more detailed one reported “Error detected, 4HD/11/40000004.” I haveagain tried to employ this test but nothing I do can induce it to open!!!
What to do? I need help urgently and would appreciate anyadvice that offers solutions to the problem.

To check your S.M.A.R.T status open disk utility and click on your drive and then click on the info icon.

I changed my I'd and password but for some reason it still shows my old ID and I can't access my app store. Please help

I changed my apple I'd and password because my old ID was not working, but for some reasons I can not get into my app store with the new ID and pass. Please help

Anybody can access the App Store - even without an Apple ID.
What are you saying? You cannot access your purchased apps with your new ID? If you are, that is the way that it works. If you set up a new Apple ID - you can't update the apps that you bought with the old ID. You have to continue to update the purchased apps with the old ID and password since purchases are always tied to the ID that made the purchases.
If you need to sign into your new ID you can do that in Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap th old ID and sign out then sign in with the new one.

(SOLVED) No system sounds, and no sound for some applications

For some reason, system sounds stopped working (like when one takes a screenshot). aplay plays sounds (I mean, no errors whatsoever), but I can hear nothing. Listening from mplayer or vlc still works as normal.
When I 'aplay sound.wav', I see the leds going up and down on pavucontrol, but I hear nothing.
I run openbox and I don't start gnome-settings-daemon with it. It is "pure" openbox.
I checked pavucontrol settings, and also alsamixer but couldn't find anything that could solve the problem. I use pulse-audio, and have pulseaudio-alsa and alsa-utils installed.

Yeah, I can guarantee that I didn't touch alsamixer myself. I didn't even know the F6 option (although, today I realized it is there very well visible). Anyway, I guess an update might have changed something... I saw other people with similar problems in #archlinux this morning.

Applet loading problem for SOME people

Ive made a java applet that works for me and some other computers:
http://strike.insurrection-games.com/loa2%20test/loa%20test.htm
Unfortunately, for some computers, the status bar shows this message:
"class loa2_t1 not found"
Its not a server problem, because those people experienced the same error when running it from a folder on the hard drive (and yes, that folder contained all class files including loa2_t1)
those same people could play almost all other java applets found all over the internet.
what could be the problem?
(i dont use any jar files, just one folder with all necesary files, it runs perfectly for me)

bbrita,
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/develo
er_guide/using_tags.html#ie-nav
doesnt work at all, same errorI just tried switching Sun's JVM to be the default browser for IE. This made your applet work.
Thus, I can say with almost 100% certainty that your problem is exactly what we have told you. Those people that are testing your applet and getting an error, do NOT have Sun's JVM installed or it is NOT setup as default JVM for IE.
You need to go back and reread the documentation on how to use the <object> tag properly. Try updating the link that you posted in your first thread to use the <object> tag. Then we may be able to see what you are doing wrong.

Xfce4 fonts are too big for some applications

Hi there,
overall, my fonts are just fine. However, in some applications (panel and thunar from what I've noticed so far), the fonts are about twice as big. I assume those are applications which are started quite early.
I'm on a 4k monitor, xfce4 desktop environment, dpi set to 96 in the xorg conf.
Any ideas are appreciated

I have done both, doesn't fix it unfortunately
EDIT:
I just tried AGAIN and it worked... Dont understand why but its fine now. For everyone wondering:
- disable custom dpi
- close appearance
- enable again
- restart
is what worked for me.
