Root password not being saved

When I enable the root user it asks me for the password, then password verification. Then when I leave terminal I disable the root user. Next time I enable it, it again asks for the password and to verify it, but I can enter ANY password and get into SU in terminal. So anyone that can get to enable the root user and set a password. This is dumb or I am not understanding something here. The computer should remember the last password and use that password and not allow just ANY password to give super user access???

I would be uncomfortable leaving the root user enabled. Frankly speaking the root password should be saved once I set it then disable the root user, saving that password for the next time I enable the root user it. Why is there even an option to change the password if it is not saved. Stupidity. Even setting the password in terminal with the passwd command will not save it. Stupidity. This is not how it worked in Snow Leopard. You set a password and it stuck. What is the point of having a password for root, it anyone can enter anything to reach it. Stupidity
But thanks for the suggestion

Passwords not being saved at all...

I've run keychain first aid, made sure auto fill is checked, etc. ... read the forum, all that. No new passwords are being saved. I cleared the list of former passwords (they were all old anyway) and now the passwords list is blank. Still at log-ins to any site I visit there is no prompt to save in keychain or anything. How to fix?

Actually I think they are being saved, but my main experience with this issue is that passwords are not auto-filling any more. Yes, I do have the boxes checked that I want these auto-filled.
Also, this seems to have started with the last Safari update in mid-March. Help, anyone?

Username and Password Not Being Saved

The option to save my username and pw is not coming up on my banking site, Wells Fargo. I get the option on other sites, I just set up FF.
Also, does FF have a Key Logger Security option?

Hi Matt,
I did previously have "Private Browsing" selected and deselected that and that is when I could set up FF with my username and pw but could not on Wells Fargo. So, I did what you suggested and that was to delete cookies because that seemed like a good reason but alas, it still will not give me the option to set up the username/pw.
I would not be surprised if it is Wells Fargo, they are a bit of a pain. You cannot even save them in Bookmarks because I was told they are constantly making changes to their site and this stops the bookmark from working.

How can I force Safari v.6.1 to Save passwords for sites that request passwords NOT BE Saved"?

Since the last OS X update when Safari was updated to version 6.1, I am having problems with passwords not being saved from specific sites that request that passwords "not be saved".
Example: Adobe.com
I did not have problem with Safari 5.1.
When I go to Safari Preferences and "click on box" "Allow Autofill even for websites that request passwords not be saved", a pop up box opens and refers me to "SECURITY & PRIVACY" indicating that a "SCREENLOCK" must be engged to allow for this action.
I have my firewall on.
I don't understand what they are requesring me to lock & how to do it.
Anyone who understands what I am being asked to do -or- how I can re-enable password saving, please email me.
Thanks,
<Email Edited by Host>

Actually, Linc's reply is EXACTLY the answer that is required.
If you go to the setting he mentions and enable the password after screen saver or sleep, then Safari 6.1 will allow you to save all the autofill login information you like, even the stuff for sites that request not to save them.

Recently, my passwords on many websites are not being saved, forcing me to log in every 15 minutes or so. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am wondering if it is a result of a "bad" update?

For the past few weeks, I have noticed that passwords on many different websites are not being saved. I literally have to log back into each page every 15 minutes or so. Is this the result of a bad software update? Have an appointment at the Genius Bar tomorrow but if this can be resolved without going in, it would be preferred.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

My Usernames Passwords are not being saved, the pop up question about saving a password or not never shows. Please let me know how I can fix this problem.

My usernames and passwords are not being saved. I never get the prompt:
"Do you want Firefox to remember the password?"
I've tried the help screens but I can't find the answer. Please let me know how this can be fixed.
Thanks,
Doug Clarke

Make sure that you have set Firefox to remember passwords.
* Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Remember passwords for sites"
Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

Database/Password Information not being saved in CMC

Product: CR Server XI R2. Server is Windows Server 2003 operating system
An issue just popped up today where the database info for a report in the CMC is not being saved. I'm in the Process tab (database link) of the Report properties of the CMC and trying to enter Custom Database login information.
The Driver is Oracle and the Server and Username fields are set correctly. However, when setting the Password field, regardlesws of what length of a password I use, it defaults to 7 characters when showing on the screen and none of the reports run. Even when I set the password to blank and set the password on the InfoView, the reportsw still error out.
The error message when running the report is always
Error Message: The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.
We've been running these reports for weeks without any issue until today. Are there any known issues with any recent MS patches or anything that could be causing this? The only thing I noticed was a MS Patch (KB960714) that was installed on Friday night. Uninstalled and rebooted and still no resolution.

Hi Eric,
I'm experiencing a similar problem. Did you ever get this problem solved?

I am not able to edit or merge PDF files. I followed the steps mentioned in the Mac support community but the changes are not being saved. Any solution to this?

The link you posted gives be a 404 not found message.
The reason you're getting the repeat is because your site name is wilgenroos.nl and the first page of your site is wilgenroos.
The standard URL for domain names that are forwarded with the CNAME method is:
http://www.domain_name.com/site_name/page_name.html.
You can change the site and page names in iWeb to give you something more informative about the site and page.
If you're publishing to a 3rd party server and want to get rid of the site name in the url and only have
http://www.domian_name.com/page_name.html
do the following:
publish the site to a folder on your hard drive (already done)
use Cyberduck to upload just the contents of your site folder to the root folder of your account on the server.
You should delete the old site folder and files that are currently there beforehand.

Sent emails on my iphone not being saved on my hotmail's sent items

Sent emails on my iphone are not being saved on my hotmail's sent items

Delete the account on your phone under settings> Mail, contacts, calendars> hotmail account> delete. This will not erase anything on your email account as your phone only accesses the server. Then you can add the account again in the same place in settings. Just make sure you have the password so you can add it right away. Sometimes people forget their password because they never use it. If that's the case you can go online and click "forgot password" and resset it before you uninstall it on your phone. Hope this helps.

Messages are not being saved on N96

On my N96 I have set save sent messages and receive report as 'yes' but after updating firmware (20.050) messages are not being saved.Is there any solution to someone.

I have exactly the same problem with my N95 but I can't really say when it started. Suddenly I just noticed my phone didn't save sent messages anymore and hadn't done it for some time, but can't really tell after what it started to occur. Really strange problem, not even reseting back to factory settings helped - after I put "receive report" option back it stops saving sent messages to sent folder. Actually if I go to "sent" folder quickly after sending the sms, it shows there for little moment before disappears. Really strange. I couldn't google any other information about this problem than this topic.

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

File Options not being saved

I appologize if this is the wrong forum, but I did a search and failed to find a related subject.
When I click on File>Options then modify them the way I want to, then close Designer 2008 and reopen it, they're back to the default values.
How can I retain my options even after closing designer and reopenning?
Thanks much!

What version of Crystal are you using?
Are you a local PC Administrator also?
Try right clicking on the crw32.exe and selecting Run As Administrator and then change them.
Are you clicking the OK or Save button after making changes or simply closing the window using top right X button?
Those options are saved to the registry, only reason they are not being saved is you don't have permission or some anti-virus software or Restore Point is writing the original settings back when you close CR.
You may want to check with your IT people to see if they have pushed out some sort our Profile update that doesn't allow you to keep changes to the registry.
After making the changes and you create a new report do you see the changes? Don't close the designer.
Thank you
Don

Table extension not being saved

Hi,
I have implemented Table extension at item level for SC and from the config perspective all looks fine.
1) Created Append struture with required fields
First step: appending the field to the correct structure in SE11 or via transaction SPRO.
Structure names for table extensions are according to the pattern:
INCL_EEW_PD_<x>_CST_<y> with
<x>: HEADER, ITEM
2)
Path in IMG (transaction SPRO):
SAP SRM -> SRM server ->
-> Cross-Application Basic Settings
-> Extensions and Field Control (Personalization)
-> Create Table Extensions and Supply with Data
-> Define Customer Table Extensions on Item Level
Second step: you additionally need to append the new table extension field to the
corresponding INCL_EEW_PD_<x>_CST structure called u2018cross-documentu2019 structure. This can
also be done in IMG
You can explicitly enter the very same field(s) (name and type) into both append structures.
It is recommended, however, to first create another structure with the new field (in SE11) and
then include that other structure in both append structures
(menu path in SE11 screen: -> Edit -> Include -> Insert).
Default append structure names in this example are
ZAINCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CST_SC and
ZAINCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CST
when using the IMG path..
3)
Third step: Set visibility of the table extension.Create an entry with TICUS for item data (THCUS for header data).
Donu2019t miss to populate the Transaction Type field - you could save the table entry without it,
but it will not work!
4)
Fourth step: Configure Control of Fields of Table Extensions. Create an entry with TICUS for item data (THCUS for header data).Donu2019t miss to populate the Set Level field - you could save the table entry without it, but it will not work!
Fifth step: Configure Control of Actions
Sixth (final) step: SM30 - maintain view /SAPSRM/V_MDFSBC_DEFAULT
I have rechecked the config several times but could not find any reason for the data not to be saved.
When I add the data to the table structure and if click enter or check button the data disappears. The entries are not captured in BBP_PDICF table either. i can see the Z structure in se11 for BBP_PDICF.
I have checked doc_change badi for any issues but could not find the issue. Any idea as where I should check for the data not being saved issue?

Hello Srinivas,
Please do this step:
In SM30-maintain view /SAPSRM/V_MDFSBC_DEFAULT
Object set type :TICUS
Structure field name : custom field
Object type : BUS2121
set level : item
Field visible : X
field enable : X
Regards,
Neelima

Window preferences not being saved

Hi there -
Using InDesign CS4 on Windows XP. A few days ago a problem started happening - whenever I close InDesign, my preferences for which windows (Tools, Pages, Links, Character) I have open are not being saved. Takes me 3-4 minutes every time i open InDesign to put everything back the way it should be.
I've installed updates, no dice, and have deleted the preferences file as suggested by this thread:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
Any other steps I can take?
thanks in advance,
Andrew

Those things are saved as part of the workspace. It sounds as if the current workspace file has become corrupt. Close ID, then go to your user profile and you'll find the workspaces folder under \Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\<language>\Workspaces. Delete the "current" xml file for the workspace and restart ID. The workspace will be restored to the conditions set when it was saved, but hopefully will remember changes again when you close the program.
