Password Problems when trying to network two macs

Hi, every time I try to network my MacBook Pro (running 10.5) to my G4 FW800 (running 10.4) as a Registered user I get asked for a password. No matter how many times I put in what I think is the correct password it keeps telling me it's the wrong password. The passwords I'm using are the same ones I use when asked to allow installs and other system operations on each machine - I even tried using opposing passwords the G4 on the MacBook and vice versa) Obviously there is a another, secret password that I know nothing about and I'm buggered if I know what it is, where it is or, how to change it.. Can any one PLEASE PLEASE help me here??????

OSX is designed to handle multiple users, and each user account (normally) has a password. Since there can be many user accounts (I have at least 3), you log into a specific account with it's password. You can also set a preference to automatically log in, which sounds like what you have done.
When you first set up your machine, did you specify a password? When you install applications, what password do you use to authenticate as an administrator? The password that you set up for a user account on a particular machine is the one you need to use when connecting to that account from a remote machine.

  • Username and Password problem when trying to conne...

    I decided to try and connect to a BT Wifi hotspot for the first time the other day, but when i enter my primary bt usename and password it says that the username and/or password is incorrect. I know they are the correct ones as i can log into the bt wifi website from my pc at home and it confirms that i have infinity 2, am opted in to the wifi scheme, and shows that i havent used any minutes yet.
    I have tested this by connecting to the wifi hotspot that my own router puts out as a test, but it gives the same error.
    I was wondering whether it may be because i have been with BT for quite a while and my primary email is an @btopenworld address which is causing some issues?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    Solved!

    You've probably answered your own question. BT Wifi will only accept btinternet.com email addresses from BT Total Broadband customers; no problem though as the domain name is interchangeable with btopenworld. (In fact to access BT Wifi you only need to enter your user name and can omit "@domain".)

    You stated; " I have been successful with My Power Mac "
    A Power Mac is incapable of being upgraded to Mavericks. It is a PPC Mac which can only run versions of OS X up to 10.5.8 and no higher. Any version of OS X higher that 10.5.8 requires an Intel processor to run.
    Does the iMac meet the hardware requirements for Mavericks?

  • GenericServiceFactory initialization problem when trying to load Web servic

    Hi,
    I am making a Guided procedure that calls a webservice. I have created a new Destination Template and was able to load the webservice definition successfully, but when I test the callable object I created for that same webservice y get the error:
    GenericServiceFactory initialization problem when trying to load Web service model for WSDL.
    Somehow I think there is something wrong with the user authentication. The Destination template has a user and password but somehow I think the callable object test is not using this information at all.
    Can anyone help ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Hans,
    Have you verified if you can call any external web service calls from your J2EE engine?  Go into the SOA Management / Global settings (if you are on CE - if you're on 7.0 it's in manage WS desintations).
    Look at your proxy settings and set them like your web browser that enables external calls.  For example, in the SAP network I set my global proxy settings on my local J2EE engine to be:
    Proxy host:  proxy
    Proxy port: 8080
    Exclude list:  *.sap.corp
    Does that make sense - have you verified if your settings are correct for your company?

  • Password error when trying to connect icloud for PC to Outlook 2007

    Hello,
    I have somme password problems when I try to connect to Outlook 2007 with ICloud 2.1.2 for PC on Windows 7
    When trying to creating connection to Outlook, I have always the message: invalid password or AppliID.
    I try to disconnect, then reconnect: nothing done.
    I try to reboot: nothing done.
    Note: I need to use the Administrator mode for starting Icloud.exe: otherwise impossible to open the Icloud utility

    It's any network. If I reset network settings, I can connect at home, but I get the "wrong password" but not at work. Then, if I reset it again, I can conect at work, but not at home.
    Only way to switch Wifi network is through a "reset network settings" operation.
    On my wive's iPhone 5 this problem does not exist. She can commute seemlessly among WIFI networks.

  • How do i deactivate a device through icloud if the device is broken and i am unable to turn on find my iphone? Also i do not own a apple id as ive been using a family members due to problems when trying to make one?

    How do i deactivate a device through icloud if the device is broken and i am unable to turn on find my iphone? Also i do not own a apple id as ive been using a family members due to problems when trying to make one?

    Hey tyjox,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to deactivate Find My iPhone on a device that does not work. You will need to work with the family member of the account the iPhone is registered with. I would recommend that you use this article to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702
    Remove an iOS device you no longer have
    If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, then select the device.
    Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
    When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased and someone else can now activate the device.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • Problems when trying to migrate from 6.0 to 6i

    Hi,
    I'm having problems when trying to migrate a Designer 6.0 application to 6i.
    When I get to start the migration after having selected the source application, the process fails immediately after I've pressed the button.
    I'm getting the error: CDR-21244: This process has been aborted and the advice to check the log file. But no log file is created.
    I've read Note 234984.1 which gives two suggestions in this situation: That the ORACLE_HOME environment variable is unset, and that the LOG_DIRECTORY_RAU directory is writeable. Both is fulfilled in my situation. However it seems that the migration procedure tries to start imp - I've noticed a short flash with the command prompt screen - and when I try to start imp manually from the command prompt I get errors. I was able to fix this error by setting ORACLE_HOME and ORA_NLS33. But the defining ORACLE_HOME is "illegal" ref. Note 234984.1. Of course I tried to leave it anyway, but that didn't help neither: The migration still dies a quick and silent dead.
    So now I'm stucked. How can I carry on?
    The source is on version 6.0.3.5.0 running on 8.1.5, and the taget is version 6.5.92.1.9 running on 8.1.7.4.
    Regards, Michael

    The migration from Designer 6.0 to 6i requires careful planning. Please read the migration guide on OTN (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/designer/index.html) for advice and to assist you with the migration.
    Regards
    Sue

  • Problem when trying to place a post wrt BSP

    Colleagues,
    for a few days i am encountering problems when trying to place a post regarding BSP issue. I am not sure if this is just an IE settings problem or sth on the SDN forum side.
    Another option is to check for customized corporate settings of the current project owner.
    Any cool ideas are warmly welcomed.
    Cheers, Harry
    OK, this has been working fine. So what is the problem on the BSP forum? SAP buddies, please assist!
    Many THX in advance!

    Your launch services database, which stores information about which applications should open certain documents, may need to be repaired. Open the Terminal application found in /Applications/Utilities and paste in this command (all one line):
    System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/La unchServices.framework/Versions/Current/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain system -domain local -domain user
    Hit the return key, log out and log in.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • PCManFM Segmentation fault when trying to open two windows

    Hi
    It seems to be a bug, but I don't know if it's Arch, or upstream related, so first of all I will post here.
    What happens: When trying to open two different windows of the file manager PCManFM, it crashes systematically.
    How to reproduce: Open an terminal, type "pcmanfm"; pcmanfm is now open. Open another terminal, or another tab, type "pcmanfm"; pcmanfm is now closed. Go back to the first term, and you'll see "Segmentation fault"

    ozar wrote:While PCManFM is broken and rather annoying, note that you can open new tabs and windows from within the PCManFM window that already have open.
    Yep, I'm using this function since I noticed that bug but it'll be cool if this problem could be fixed in the near future ^^

  • I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture.   It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button. even though when i  hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top

    I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture. 
    It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button.
    even though when i  hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top on the back and the home button is on the bottom on the front.
    This problem is irritating me....?

    To take panorama
    - ensure that the panorama option is on
    - press the shutter button once
    - you will see a line with an arrow
    - move around in a circle  ( I keep the camera steady and turn myself around in a circle)
    - as you do this you will see the arrow moving across the screen as it captures pictures
    - at the end of the capture, you will be able to see your panorama picture
    I hope that this helps, do report back.

    I am using Lightroom 5 and am hapy about it, but recently I hav encountered a problem when trying to edit an image in another program, i.e. Elements. I used the clone tool, saved the result and went back to Lightroom to open the image there. I did find a second copy, but this is identic with the one I already had in Lightroom, and I can see noe result of the clone process.

    At the moment I would say it is uncertain whether Acrobat is completely ignoring the change, or whether the changes you are making aren't affecting the ink density. I have a suggestion for a test you could make to see which is the case.
    When editing in Photoshop just add a box or mark on the image, for your tests.
    - If this box does not appear in Acrobat, you know Acrobat is not seeing the edit
    - If this box does appear in Acrobat, you know the problem is that your tool for changing ink densities is not taking effect.
