Reader 9 asks for permission to open under Mac parental controls

Reader 9
eMacs running 10.4.x, latest updates
iMac dual core Intel running 10.5.x, latest updates
High school lab, with parental access turned on for students, Acrobat allowed.
Whenever I try to open it as a student, a window comes up asking:
Type an administrators name and password to make changes to Adobe Reader.
If I click on Details it says:
"Requested right: system.privilege.admin
Application: Adobe reader"
If I click Cancel on the approval screen, Acrobat opens and appears to work fine. It is a bit of a pain with 2500 students.

Just to be clear in case others run across this problem too, the resetting of global settings is in the preferences?
Thanks for taking the time to come back and post your solution, I appreciate it!

I cannot get my Acrobat Pro to open. I already uninstalled it and re installed it. But still does not open. The program pops to ask for permission to open the program, but it never actually opens. I trouble shoot it and it says incompatible application.

It sounds like an issue of trying to run XI on VISTA. That combination does not work. Info on both the Acrobat full version (including sub-version) and OS would help. It might also be an issue of running 11.0.0 on a system that needs the updates to work.

Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

Windows 8 fillable fields in Acrobat Reader XI asking for permission

The form was set up to just fill. Any known issues with Windows 8 and Acrobat?
Thanks,

Forgot to say, some fields not even fillable. Form works on another Windows machine as well as Mac.

I can't launch any downloaded applications!!! Don't ask for permission

Normally/Before, when i download an app, i click to open, it will pop up a windows to ask me if i want to open it, for it's downloaded from the internet, i will allow it.
But now, nothing pop up, and if i launch no matter which app downloaded from the net, the icon in the dock keep jumping and nothing happen.
I think its certain a problem of permission. Here is what i have done:
I repaired the disk permission;
I installed the latest system and java update(though i don't know if its relevent);
Check the file permission.
I show the contents of the app package, i try to launch the "XXXX XXXXX" file directly under the file "MacOS". So it's terminal, says:
Last login: Tue May 8 16:48:59 on console
DXMB:~ DX$ /Volumes/ XXXXX\ XXXXX.app/Contents/MacOS/XXXX\XXXXXXX ; exit;
-bash: /Volumes/XXXX XXXXX/XXXX XXXXX.app/Contents/MacOS/XXXX XXXXX: Operation not permitted
logout
[Opération terminée]
I suppose the problem is simple, there is no longer the pop up window to ask for permission?
What can i do?! I searched on the net, but found nothing.....
Thanks!

Thank u baltwo, I know a reinstallation will work out, but i really don't want to, so i come here to see your opinions
Just a reinstall without erase my contents seems not impossible? and won't work?

System asking for permission for incoming connections

When I restart my computer I get messages that ask if I want to allow incoming connections to programs such as qmaster and realplayer. I allow this. The message also says that I can change this in the firewall pane in system preferences. When I go there I see that both already allow incoming connections.
Why is the system asking me each time when I've already said that it is allowed?

I had the same problem for iTunes, Connect360 and Transmission. After reading many forum post and trying many things to no end this is what worked for me.
NOTE THIS WORKED FOR ME, IT MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU, DON'T BLAME ME.
1. Log into an Admin account
2. Go to the Firewall under the Security Pane in System Preferences and remove ALL programs listed under "Set access for specific services and applications." (you can try removing just the troublesome apps)
3. Still in the Firewall tab, change setting to "Allow all incoming connections."
4. In the Finder go to your Applications Folder and drag iTunes (or any other offending apps) to the trash and delete from the dock. *This SHOULD NOT delete your music, playlists, ratings or anything else, it did not on mine. But BACKUP if you want to be 100% sure*
5. In the System Preferences, go to Accounts > Login Items and remove ItunesHelper.
6. Restart your mac and log in as the Admin again.
7. Download any apps you deleted, i.e. iTunes. Link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
8. Install the apps (don't open them after install)
9. Go back into the firewall settings and change it back to "Set access for specific services and applications."
10. Open iTunes and any other apps you reinstalled.
11. Add iTunes back to the Dock.
This should have fixed the problem, and iTunes should act like nothing ever happened...
We still need to add iTunesHelper back to the Login Items.
12. In the finder go to Applications, and right-click on iTunes, select "Show Package Contents.
13.Open the System Preferences and go to Login Items under Accounts.
14. Back in the finder (the iTunes Package Contents) go to Contents>Resources>iTunesHelper
15. Drag iTunesHelper into the Login Items list.
This worked for me. I don't think it ever asked for permission for iTunes. And I have only been asked once for the other programs that used to ask me everytime.
Hope this helps you and everyone else with this problem.

Firewall keeps constantly asking for permission

Everytime I boot my Mac it keeps asking for incoming network pemission for the same applications.
In the individual cases these are the following apps: Billings.app, Billings Server Admin.app, Daylite Server Admin.app, ScanSnap Manager.app.
e.g.
These applications are however, already listed in the firewall list, under system settings.
e.g.
Thanks and great if anyone could help me:
1. Is this an indivudual problem in respect of the very programs?
2. Could certificates be a relevant factor here? If so, what are possible solutions?
2. How is it possible to reset the firewall settings via a terminal command or so and build it up from scratch, if this makes sense at all?

Well, parts of those apps are
1. Is this an indivudual problem in respect of the very programs?
I think so. Especially if the apps concerned want to open non-standard ports for outside apps to connect to, and possibly they are choosing different ports each time. Contact the manufacturers to see if they have some support, forum etc.
2. Could certificates be a relevant factor here? If so, what are possible solutions?
I don't think so; there should be visible warnings about expired or invalid or non-existent certificates. You could check Console, All Messages. Note the time one of the apps asks for permission and see what messages appear at that time.
2. How is it possible to reset the firewall settings via a terminal command or so and build it up from scratch, if this makes sense at all?
I'm sure there is a way but I don't know it. If I find it I'll reply back with it.

Weather Channel App will not Stop asking for Permission

Device = BB Torch 9810
Have installed/removed/re-installed Weather Channel App several times and it Constantly keeps asking for Permission (@ least 10 times a Day).
Solution Please?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Some of these apps get pretty tricky, let's take it on!
You will need to turn your radio off, so pick a time when you can be close to the home phone.
Go click on the options icon>click on device> the scroll to Application Resource monitor turn it on
and let it shut down streaming apps as well. Save and exit. We just set the first trap!
No scroll up one to application management. Click to open and Under Applications select optional.
Now make sure the you delete every instance of the Weather Channel there may be a group of several. Save and exit and open your browser .click>options select clear browsing data. Clear everything cookies pushed content, download list cache, and history. Click the back button twice and leave the browser. Turn your a radios back on. Let's if our trap works and the app is pushing content to your phone.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks,

Script keeps asking for permission to access contacts

I have an Applescript that I've saved as an app. I have it run automatically every night. It goes through my contacts and does some cleanup work for me.
However, the script has started asking for permission to access my contacts on every single run. This didn't happen under 10.9... I believe it started with Yosemite. I'm on 10.10.2 now.
Under Mavericks, if I locked the script, that solved the "ask for permission every time problem." But that no longer seems to work.
Any thoughts?

If you post the script, I am sure someone will have an idea what's happening.

Firewall keeps asking for permission.

Hi,
I've enabled Firewall in OX 10.8 but everytime I open an application that can access the Internet, it keeps asking me that whether I want to allow permission the program to do or not. I checked Firewall in system preferences and it does have list of programs that I allowed to connect to Internet, so why it keeps asking everytime I open those programs?
Thanks.

Hi guys,
I have the same problem and I just want to add my thoughts.
Ok, fair enough, we don't need two firewalls.
But here is the thing that concerns me. The issue for me is, this asking for permission didn't occur on my mac using mavericks and mountain lion. Why should it appear with Yosemite? I don't understand why it needs to ask for permission repeatedly when I have set the program to allow incoming connections from my firewall settings.
It is also the same case with an app that I have allowed access to use the accessibility feature of my mac. Every time I launch, I have to give permission even though it is already listed on my accessibility preference to have permission. I use this app all the time, and having to repeat this process over and over and over again becomes irritating.
As much as having two firewalls on at a time is not necessary, I believe it is even more not necessary for me have to go through the silly questions if I do chose to leave the firewall on (don't forget the accessibility) and have given permission to let these apps do what they do. To this, I vote that this issue should get some attention by mac and the community.
Have a great one guys,
Peace.

After Updating My Mac Keeps Asking for Permission on Certain Apps

Hi guys,
I have this problem where my MBPr asks for permission repeatedly to allow one of my apps to access the internet after I updated to Yosemite (NOTE: I didn't have this problem on my previous versions of OS). It is listed on my firewall as allow incoming connections, and it doesn't make sense for me to have to keep allowing it.
It is also the same case with the app that I have allowed access to use the accessibility feature of my mac. Every time I launch, I have to give permission even though it is already listed on my accessibility preference to have permission.
This is what I have done to try to fix it but to no avail: Deleting the app from both of the allowed list and re-adding it again.
I use this app all the time, and having to repeat this process over and over and over again becomes irritating. I would like to have my MBPr to not have to require to keep asking me this, can anyone help me?
The app in particular is Steam.app
Have a great one guys,
Peace.

Go to your Utilities folder and open Keychain Access. Follow the steps here: Mac OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password.

MBP not consistently asking for password when opening lid

While I'm an IT consultant with 30+ years in the PC world, I'm relatively new to the Mac world having just bought my first Mac, a rMBP 13" Late 2013. While I tend to be pretty decent with troubleshooting, I'm having a sporadic issue with it that I'm not sure how to solve.
My desire is to have the unit always ask for a password whenever the lid is opened.
The problem is that about one out of every ten times, when I open the lid on the Macbook it just unlocks and goes straight to the desktop without asking for a password. Being in IT, and frankly maintaining a lot of confidential/security information for my clients, I'm hesitant to take this unit out of the office until I can resolve this issue once and for all. 9/10 times it opens up to the lock screen and asks for my password, which is what I want. But three times in the past week, it has opened straight to the desktop, ready for use. This is a security concern--if the unit is stolen I don't EVER want anyone to be able to log into it and see the data on it. But if it's just opening straight to the desktop it circumvents that protection.
Under Security and Privacy, I have "Require password 5 seconds after sleep or screen saver begins" set, along with (grayed/checked) "Show a message when the screen is locked" and "Disable automatic Login" set. Each of the times I've noticed the lack of password has been after the lid was closed for a while, definitely more than an hour. Earlier today, it happened after te notebook had been closed for at least several hours. It's happened both with the power connected, and running on battery.
Any ideas? Thanks.

If after you set the Require Password immediately and it still doesn't ask for the password then your Mac is not going into Sleep mode when the lid is closed. I have seen this happen on my 2011 model after it has been running for days, sleeping and awake for those days. I'lll close the lid at night or when I leave for work and the front white light will come on but not flash, on for a few seconds then off for a few.
A restart fixes it but I never had this problem when Lion or Mt Lion were installed. Only since going to Mavericks. I haven't checked it lately since 10.9.2 but I will. I usually shut it down now when I know I'm not going to use for a period of hours.

Seagate External hard drive ask for permission from admin when moving files in and to the drive, but I am the admin?

Today I plugged in my seagate 1TB hard drive and every time I want to move my files to the hard drive or in the hard drive itself, I have to give my admin password. The pop up box says: Finder ask for permission, click on Identity control. I never had this before.. This happened today. The settings are set to System - Read and Write, Users - Read and Write and Everyone - Read
This is very confusing. I can still copy and move files but I have to give my password every single time.
Thank you so much!

Thanks a lot! I have already downloaded Paragon Driver and it works well with seagate external hard drive. I am copying as of now my important files from my mac to it. However, I have only the trial version which will expire in 10 days. I don't have credit card to buy for it.

My MacBook Pro shows the logo in a white screen when I ask for a Software Update under the apple. Actually it stays blank on Featured, Top Charts, Categories and Purchases as well. What up? Thanks.

I am having exactly the same problem right now. After some research, it looked like my HD was toast. I replaced it today, that part was easy, but now I cannot seem to use my original Install Disk to format the new HD. I get a grey restart screen, or if I get to the Language Selection screen, my cursor is frozen in left corner and I can't use it.
Very frustrating, hope someone else has some ideas!
PS My MacBook was about same age, and "expired" in exactly the same way as yours.
