Remove Admin's pass request on Network Settings...any idea?
Hello,
I am going mad with this question/problem!
I need to have one user account that has access to network setting without being asked for Admin's credential.
Now, i am using Parental Control to limit this standard user just to see Display & Network settings, but, while with the Display Setting there is no request with Network Settings there is!
I installed also the Server Adminstration kit, i saw that with Workgroup Manager i found many useful thing like adding user to differnts groups but nothing about "suppress" this passwork request.
ANY IDEA???
Please!
sorry, I'm not a big expert on modifying /etc/authorization as you can really mess things up there.
*You don't want to do this* because you need to change system.preferences right in /etc/authorization. This affects not only the network preferences but some other preferences like sharing, security and startup disk. Do you really want to do this? sounds quite dangerous to me. I definitely wouldn't. I don't think there is any way to change the right for network preferences only.
as to how to modify this right, as i said, I'm no expert but the following will work.
First, I suggest you make a backup of the existing /etc/authorization file. Then
open /etc/authorization with TextWrangler. modify the section
<key>system.preferences</key>
<dict>
<key>allow-root</key>
<true/>
<key>class</key>
<string>user</string>
<key>comment</key>
<string>Checked by the Admin framework when making changes to certain System Preferences.</string>
<key>group</key>
<string>admin</string>
<key>shared</key>
<false/>
</dict>
You can change admin to staff.This will let any user on the system to unlock system preferences. Or you can make a new group. Include yor main admin user and the user you want to give extra rights to. then put the name of that group instead of admin in the above.

Hi there,

I am having trouble looking at video podcasts on my ipod touch. they are all greyed out. I have tried removing them and resyncing. this did not work. any ideas?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all media and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
my iphone4 says its cinnected to 3g but when i use safari it says "could not activate mobile data network". Any ideas please?

When I try to connect to the wifi it will not unlock. It will not even search for a network. I have reset the phone and reset the network. Any ideas.
I Can do that for home but not at friends and work places, nobody else has any problem joining it!! I'm wondering if restoring factory settings will solve it but don't really want to do that as its a hassle to reinstall everything for it to not solve the problem!!

any idea or solution?
ThanksHey mjmsurrey60,
It sounds like the iDevices have gotten out of sync with the home network. I would advise a full power cycle of the circuit involved.
Unplug the 8600 while powered on
Unplug the power from the router
COMPLETELY power off the iDevices, not simply put in sleep mode. Click here for information about how to do so on an iPhone. The steps are similar for other iDevices.
Wait 30-60 seconds
Plug the router back up and wait for it to completely power back up
Plug the 8600 back in for power
Power the iDevices back up and wait for them to sync with the network again
Try to print again
Let me know the results.

Our airport extreme network works fine with our 6 devices. But when someone comes over and tries to log on, they can't until we restart the airport. Then they can get on, but it knocks one of our devices off the network. Any ideas?
I have not done a factory reset, I was trying to find out if I had some setting configured wrong first. I figured I'd just make things worse if went through a reset!

I have roommates and it's their wi-fi I'm using, but everytime I enter the password I get the "Unable To Join Network" screen. I read on another forum that maybe I'd need to change the wi-fi frequency, but I'm unsure how to manage that. Extreme layman here, any ideas?
You will have to enter the password again because you reset your ipad mini

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through regular internet connection. Lately, when I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear, downloaded anew from the server and marked as unread. My e-mail Advanced Settings are selected for "Remove from server when moved from Inbox." Even when I access the e-mail accountfrom my desktop and delete the e-mails, the re-appear on my iPad. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and what I can do to actually delete them?
Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest.
You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit.
You may find the following article also helpful for this issue which is the same resolution:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/05/17/empty-cn-servers-container-causing-issues-with-public-folders-on-small-business-server-2011.aspx
I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

I have a network of 9 macs that connect via ethernet and a router. All of a sudden one of the macs cannot be connected to. It can connect to all others and the internet, but no one can connect to that one. I have appletalk active and file sharing on, but everytime someone tries to connect to it, it is not on the network. Additionally, the personal file sharing keeps turning off even though I have it locked. Any ideas?
Hi orangekay
not sure where you got the idea that I have
bizarre encrypted filesystem plugins and scripts you have manipulating them all the time
because I do not have any such running, just normal Applescripts that do tasks that could be done by hand. -
Ipad won't connect to 3g network. Any ideas?
It is saying searching for network, then Network not found. Changed data cards still same issue. Reset networks and still same issue
Maybe your just in a dead zone of your network.
Thank you for choosing Apple. -
How do I connect my macbook pro to my samsung smart tv its the D7000 and has all share?
My suggestion is to get the magic trackpad, magic keyboard and magic wand and connect a DVI to HDMI cable and use the MBP in clamshell (closed) mode. This will allow you to run 1080P into the TV and essentially use the Samsung as a HUGE monitor. At that point you can use the TV itself to display whatever you want off the laptop or simply switch inputs and stream stuff out of smarthub as usual. I tried to connect mine via allshare (by the way samsung has the free allshare download of software for the PC but not the mac.) and while i DID have some succes (under windws) i had to run a non secure connection and in the end the cool factor wasn't worth the hassle, to me anyway. It was sort of a "cool i did it" now why bother..... Hope this helps.
