Passwords in the  UK using my Mac

When I was in the UK using my Mac I was asked for passwords every few minutes. When I returned stateside the Mac operated normally. Why is that? I am traveling again next week and need to know of I have to change any settings.

I do not recall exactly but I was asked for passwords every few minutes that made using the Mac a waste of time. No matter what application I was attempting to use it asked me for a password. I was primarily interested in acessing my email but I was not asked for email account passwords. They were all Apple passwords. The strange think is that the moment arrived home the issue went away. I apologize for my vagueness.

    I got this iphone from a guy and everytime i tried to update the applications stored in this phone it keeps asking me the password that the guy used to use, even thou i created a new apple ID of my own and updated the account of icloud and everything in this iphone with the new apple ID, it still asks me the password of the account that the guy used to use whenever i tried to update the applications, and i cant find the guy who gave me this iphone...wt should i do???

    Apps are permanently tied to the AppleID that downloaded them and cannot be transferred to another.  Best thing to do is delete the apps and download those you want or need under your AppleID.

  • Change password on the first use - does not work

    Change password on the first use - does not work.
    Created a user and specified 'Change password on the first use' - when user logs in - the 'Change password' window does not pop- up.
    Please advise.

    (APEX 4.0.2) I am running into this same issue - if you don't set the password expiration and locking to 'Yes', the user gets into the app without being asked to change the pw.
    When you do set expiration and locking - after the user logs on with their temporary password, it does take them to the change password page (4155:50) but the username is blank. Because the username didn't get to the page the old password will never match and you get the "Invalid password" message.
    What am I missing? Anyone successful doing this?
    Simple application, default authentication, no javascript, HTTP_SERVER, no ssl.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Welcome to the Apple community Kobra.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • I use Hotmail on my iPad. Yesterday I changed my password on the account using my home PC. Now the ipad requests the new password but when I enter it I get Password Incorrct and it asks to enter it again.

    I use Hotmail on my iPad. Yesterday I changed my password on the account using my home PC. Now the ipad requests the new password but when I enter it I get Password Incorrct and it asks to enter it again. The sticky part is that no matter what app I bring up including settings, the password request pop up appears and the app cant' be used

    I was going to say either that or to remove the email from your email account settings(on ipad) and put it back on. Happens everytime im forced to change my work email password. I need to delete the account and add it again for it to accept the new password.

  • Icons on the screen using a Mac mini

    I have a Mac mini with a Time Capsule connected to it. The onscreen icon for the TC is just a white box instead of the symbol that is in the dock. How do you change the icon?
    I have the same issue with the Plex icon.
    Any ideas out there?

    Here's a screen shot. The tabs used to be at the very top of the window, but now they aren't.

  • While restoring an iPad iTunes asks for the password - which does it want; iTunes password or the one used to unlock the iPad normally?

    I was having issues with my iPad so decided to do a complete wipe and restore.  The wipe went fine, but when I asked iTunes to do the restore it asks, "Enter the password to unlock your iPad backup"
    I tried firstly entering the password I used to lock the iPad previously.  That did not work
    I then tried the iTune password.  That did not work either.
    Can it be there is another password for the back up of which I am unaware?
    Is there a way to unlock the backup and restore it to the iPad?  Can the password be reset somehow?
    What is the point of a backup that you cannot restore?

    So, why is it not the passcode used to lock the iPad?  And why is the prompt not a little more specific, "Use the unique passcode for unlocking encrypted backups" might have been more helpful.  As it was I tried, in my desperation, to use not only a) the passcode with which I locked my iPad, but also b) my Apple ID password (also, I would have thought a reasonable option), c) my usual "master/default password" and d) the PREVIOUS password for the iPad... It was having none of it.
    Curiously, having rebooted iTunes it now is performing a sync with the iPad (it did not even give me the option to do a restore) and this is even more confusing since the iTune screen shows the usage (25 GB free) along the bottom to be the same as my iPad BEFORE the wipe, but the pull down graphic (under the devices pull down menu) show 100% unused...
    To be honest this takes me round in a circle, since my original problem was iTunes saying I had 25Gb free, but the pull down graphic displaying almost 100% full and the system saying it could not copy to the iPad as there was only 1.87GB free...

  • HT5624 forgot my password and the email used is no longer in use... but I bought my apps with that user? how to update email address of it and password? Thanks!!

    I lost my password and my email used to create the account is no longer working... how to reset the email and the password... all apps I bought was under the user created.

    In that case you will need to contact iTunes Support, http://apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html (select Account Security as your help topic)
    Even after you reset your security questions, it is highly recommended you add a rescue email address. To do so, log in at appleid.apple.com and click on Password and Security. Answer the questions and then click on "Add Rescue Email Address:"

  • I try to switch on my WiFi connection at home with ADSL router. Always I get the answer - Wrong password. The pasword used is correct. It works with another hardware.

    I try to connect my iPhone with internet through WiFi with ADSL router. My network is visible. When I try to connect it, I write the password and I get always one answer - WRONG PASSWORD. The same password works perfectly with other two computers and other smartphone.

    Did you already try to reset your network settings on the phone in Settings/General/Reset/Network settings ?

  • How do I change the hostname used when Mac Mail sends EHLO

    Hi All,
    I work for a tech support group and one of our clients is experiencing some trouble sending emails. When they connect to their outbound mail server Mac Mail sends the EHLO command with a hostname like 01:23:45:67:89:ab.home
    Another Mac on the network sends a hostname like 00:A0:C9:14:C8:29.home2
    So they appear to be the a Mac address for the computers NIC followed by a generic location in this case .home, not sure if thats a generic Mac thing or something they chose to configure but because the hostname is not an ip address and contains ".(dot)home" the outbound mail server our client uses believes it to be a domain so then rejects it as an invalid domain when a lookup on it fails.
    I've changed the hostname of one of the Macs using the command "cutil –-set HostName new_hostname"
    This has changed the hostname when checking it by the hostname command in a Terminal but Mac Mail still persists in using the old hostname. We've tried rebooting the machine and rebooting the machine with the left shift key held down as I believe this does some kind of rebuild of configuration files, but still the old hostname is send when Mac Mail sends EHLO.
    How can I force Mac Mail to pick up the new hostname or is there something else I need to do to change it?
    thanks for any assistance you can provide,
    Martin

  • How to sign in to the forum using Firefox w/ NoScript

    Apparently this site uses "suspicious cross-site POST requests" according to NoScript in Firefox.
    Until this changes, you'll need to tweak the NoScript settings a little in order to be able to sign into your community.vzw.com account with NoScript XSS sanitizing enabled.  (I'll assume you've already allowed scripts from vzw.com and/or lithium.com - I'm pretty sure you'll need those enabled in order to use the forums at all)
    1) Open your NoScript options in Firefox:
    Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions (tab) -> NoScript -> Options
    2) In the NoScript options click the "Advanced" tab.
    3) In the advanced tab click the "XSS" sub-tab.
    4) In the "Anti-XSS Protection Exceptions" text box on the "XSS" tab add the following line:
    ^https://signin\.verizon\.com/sso/authsso/forumLogin\.jsp.*$
    5) Click OK and then close the Add-ons window.
    6) Close your tab/window for community.vzw.com and try again.
    7) If this doesn't work you may also need to delete any cookies you have from vzw.com and/or close Firefox all together and try again.
    Details on the problem, how I identified it, and how I came across this solution
    For the past two days I've been trying to get my community.vzw.com account setup and running and no matter what I tried, I would always end up on a screen that said my user name and password was invalid.  To add to the confusion I was able to reset my password on the account using the "Forgot username/password" link and it STILL wouldn't work.
    Then I noticed that for a split second right after I press the enter key to login there is a small notification bar at the top of the browser window.  It goes away too fast to read, but I was able to notice the "NoScript" icon on the bar before it disappeared.  So, I enabled scripts globally in NoScript and STILL had the same problem.  Disabling/Removing NoScript all together fixed the problem and I was able to login.  Of course that's not an acceptable solution, but at least I knew for sure that the problem was being caused by NoScript now.
    Recalling past situations with sites not playing well with NoScript I remembered that there were NoScript messages logged in the Firefox error console (Tools -> Error console) when some actions are blocked.  So, I enabled NoScript again, tried to login, opened the error console and sure enough, there's a message saying:
    [NoScript XSS] Sanitized suspicious upload
    to [https://signin.verizon.com/sso/authsso/forumLogin.jsp<some data here>]
    from [http://www22.verizon.com/content/sso/signin.aspx?<some more data here>]:
    transformed into a download-only GET request.
    So, I took the URL from the "to ..." section of the message and entered it into the equivalent regular expression into the exceptions and tada!  It worked!  I can now sign into the community forums and still have the protection of NoScript to keep me safe from other sites.
    Enjoy!

    Wow!  What a nice description of the issue you are having and resolution steps!  I have also passed this along to our IT folks to have a look.
    Thank you for being so thorough I am sure there are others that may run into this!

  • What fonts are used by Mac OS 10.8.2?

    I am trying to solve the problem of the long loading time of all Microsoft Office apps on my Mac Pro tower. I use Suitcase Font utility so those programs should not have to "optimize every font on my Mac. I looked in the system fonts folder and see All these fonts that were loaded in with the OS (and some I added before I got Suitcas). I want to take all of them out except the ones used by Mac OS 10.8.2. Can anyone tell which ones they are?
