Sick of password nag every time I install an app on OSX ver 10.5.6

Hi can some kind individual pls tell me how I can get rid of the stupid nag screen that asks for the password every time I install or change a setting in my mac? Its like that stupid UAC thing in vista. No one else other than my self uses this machine and I am not dumb enough to do something stupid cos I disable this screen.

sorry, I misunderstood your question somehow. I thought you were asking about the confirmation screen (not requiring a password) that you get when you first run an application that you got off internet.
You can't get rid of the password prompts when you install things that require system changes. and that's a very good thing IMO. But you should be able to install most apps without a password if you are using an admin account. only apps that use installers and change some system files require passwords. apps installed by a drag and drop into /Applications don't.

  • Every time I install an update of itunes, I get an error message saying: "/System/Library/Extensions/WkClassicNotSeizeDriver.Kext" was not installed Correctly. Has any one had it? Can you help me?

    Every time I install an update of itunes, I get an error message saying: "/System/Library/Extensions/WkClassicNotSeizeDriver.Kext" was not installed Correctly. Has any one had it? Can you help me?

    Find out what that third party software the kext file belongs to and update or use the developers method to uninstall the third party software responsible for it.
    I suspect it's a iTunes extension perhaps?
    You also can use the manual method of Finder > Go > Computer and opening your drive, then your  System/Library/Extensions folder and looking for the file and moving it out onto the desktop, you will need to be in Admin user and use your password, then reboot to clear the random access memory. However this method doesn't remove the parent program you still need to do that.
    How to uninstall/install software on your Mac
    The kext file wasn't loaded, so it's not running, but removing it from the Extensions folder or uninstalling what put it there will solve your notification problem as that's all it appears to be.

    I have a windows 7 64x SP1.
    Every time I install iTunes 12 I get this message when I try to open it:"This copy of iTunes is damaged and it has not been correctly installed. Please, install iTunes again.(-42404)".
    The instalation process runs smoothly without any error message and iTunes has been installed in my computer before. The problem started with the update no. 12. Any idea what's going on? Thank you

    if itunes will not run, you probably have mangled windows badly
    one feature of windows 8 is the refresh that saves libraries,
    because you are using windows 7, you will need to backup all files to another storage device

  • I'm having trouble with my Apple ID. I changed my email account, and recently (a month ago) and since I switched is requested every time I open any app to Apple ID password to the old email. How can I solve this? Could it be that my iPhone 4S is in sync w

    I'm having trouble with my Apple ID. I changed my email account, and recently (a month ago) and since I switched is requested every time I open any app to Apple ID password to the old email. How can I solve this? Could it be that my iPhone 4S is in sync with my Ipod???

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPhone. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • I made a new apple account but every time i download a new app it says i need to put in my old accounts password and every time I do it says incorrect  how do I fix this?! I need help!

    I made a new apple account but every time i download a new app it says i need to put in my old accounts password and every time I do it says incorrect  how do I fix this?! I need help!

    As rex already mentioned, Apps and other content are forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them. No transfers. No combining Apple IDs. Forever means forever.
    In practice, this means any apps you currently have - free or paid - will need to be either repurchased using your new Apple ID or downloaded again if free. Until you refresh all of your apps, your iPad will ask for credentials to the old Apple ID any time one of the apps is updated.
    Why did you feel it was necessary to create a new Apple ID?

  • "Password required" every time I want to edit my contacts. Why?

    "Password required" every time I want to edit my contacts. Why?
    Since I updated, I keep getting the same request from my contact list on my iPad. Not on my iPhone. I can't figure out where to correct this and it's driving me crazy.

    Yes I'm logged in. It only does it on my iPad. I tried restyling my Apple ID password and it still does the same thing.
    I'm missing something but can't figure out where. It started after I updated to ios7. Maybe there is a setting somewhere I'm missing.

  • Apple ID password login every time I used an application

    Hello,
    I'm getting an Apple ID Password Login every time I used an application, phone (Verizon, iPhone 4), or any other programs.  I login correctly and it still ask me to login again.  I don't think my phone needs to get any updates, becasue I update my phone and applications when I get home at night.
    Anyone having this problem?  This is annoying!
    Thanks

    Are you logged into your account in Settings/Store?

  • Getting prompted for password EVERY time I open the App Store!

    Does anyone have this happen to them? Every time I tap the App Store icon to go browse for new apps, it asks me for my password. Every time. Its driving me nuts LOL. It just started doing it recently out of the blue, so I'm not sure what's causing the issue. I've included a screenshot below...
    Has anyone seen this or, better yet, cured this? Thanks in advance!

    Anyone?
    Totally weird stuff, as it's still doing it. This is after phone reboots, iTunes syncs, etc. etc. I just don't get it...

  • Do I need to download the additional content of Logic Pro X every time I install it on each of my computers?

    Do I need to download the additional content of Logic Pro X every time I install it on each of my computers?

    A poster in the following thread gives a direct download link to the installer package:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22495063#22495063
    ...if that works and Logic Pro X recognises that it's been installed at startup, then clearly you can just download it the one time and manually install it on each computer. Unfortunately the App Store doesn't appear to provide a way to export and subsequently authorise installation archives for downloaded applications, though, so you'll still have to download the 600-odd-MB core of Logic via the App Store on each machine.

  • Why is the CD required every time I install an update?

    Why is the CD required every time I install an update?

    One possibility: in some versions of Acrobat you are offered the choice of whether to copy installation files. If you say no, you will need to refer back to the CD for every update.

  • Admin pw every time I delete an APP

    Is it normal that I have to enter my admin pw every time I delete an app out of the programs folder?

    So if i am correct, all apps installed by the Mac App Store a seen as system applications?
    You can check this without deleting an application. Select it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and see what account is listed at the top in the Sharing & Permissions section. Additionally, an application considered a system one will have a the Locked checkbox grayed out by default.
    And therefor there is no pw asked when installing apps, but when deleting apps the pw is been asked in behaviour to a system change?
    It's always been this way. However, if an application used an installer which didn't ask you for your administrator password when logged in as an administrator, it's probably considered to be one of yours.

  • Renew subscription EVERY time I launch an app??

    Hey guys, I was asked by the AdobeCare Twitter Account to post my issue in this forum, so here I am:
    I recently subscribed to a Adobe CC membership and everything worked fine when I had the CS6.
    Now since the CC Versions were released, I wanted to update of course. So I did.
    Since then I am constantly haveing the same issue: I can not launch an app without having to do so many steps!
    Here is what I have to do in order to open up any app (I have to do this EVERY time I launch an app..meaning when I open PS I do this, when I open ID I do this etc)
    1) I click on the icon of the app (in this example PS)
    2) I get the following "error":
    (it is asking me to renew my subscription)
    3) I click on "try again" and I get this message:
    (it says "Thank you, your subscription for CC is now activated")
    4) I click on "Continue" and get this message (again):
    So I click on "Do you have another Adobe-ID?" and get to see this window:
    ... where I type in my Password and click on "Sign in" resulting in this:
    and finally after clicking on "accept" in this:
    ...which basically is the same windows I get to see right at the beginning.
    At this point I want to mention again that I have to do this  e v e r y t i m e  I start an app, for each app I have to run through all of these steps and if I close an app by accident and re-open it, I have to do this again.
    I already tried to delete that file in the OOBE folder, did not work out.
    Also, I am lacking all the presets in Premiere Pro (Digital DSLR etc) which makes me think, that all of my apps are running in trial mode..? At least I had this issue, when I launched Premiere as a trial in the past.
    Don't get me wrong..But this is totally annoying and kills my workflow.
    Any help? I would greatly appreciate it!
    Thanks and greets from Germany!

    On the device that you don't want the apps to be downloaded on, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads. Once you turn that off, your problem will be fixed.

  • App Store forces me to verify my credit card every time I download an app.

    Hello, whenever I download an app, it asked me to verify my Purchase settings. It does this EVERY time I download an app, and I'm not kidding. I don't usually download an app, usually 4-5 times a week. I am tired of of entering in my password twice and getting those annoying emails that alert me every time I do it, even if I didn't change anything. If this was to prevent people from downloading paid apps, then if they could enter the password the first time, couldn't they just enter it again and say done? Also, they would be able to see someone's credit card (if they had one), then they could possible change other stuff to it.
    So is there any way I could make this happen less often? Thanks for you help.
