Trying to install Tiger, but it's asking me for a password.....
Hi,
I brought a second hand G4 a while ago, which had been wiped clean and had Mac OS X 10.4.3 installed. I just recently wanted to install a demo version of CS2 but it asked me for a password. The problem is I don't know what the password is and I don't have the original installation discs to change it either. So I thought I'd go out and buy "Tiger" and install that, hoping it would get rid of this problem, but when I went to install it, it asked for my password! ARGH!
If anyone knows how to get around this problem that would be a big help!
Carly, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Look at this link. Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password

Cheers, Tom

I am trying to install an app, I'm asked to enter my password, but my keyboard won't pop up, only the option to paste, but when I choose paste, nothing fills in (which makes sense as I have not copied anything). How can I make my keyboard appear?
Are you tapping on the field you want to enter data into? That opens the soft keyboard. If you touch the field and hold it, the paste option will appear.

It is trying to restore my new ipod from the backup cloud, but it keeps asking me for the passwords of three different itunes accounts, two i know are my friends accounts and I don;t even know whoose the third is. I must have some of their music on my library or something, but it won't backup without these passwords it seems. Is there a way to get around this? I have the music in my Itunes library and can listen to it all I want and burn it on cds but I cant get it to go on my ipod without their passwords. Can i switch it and just have it sync to my computer and not this icloud? My other ipod didnt ask me for these passwords when I tried to sync it.
If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated."If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it. -
My 6+ iphone is not allowing me to access icloud nor any of my email accounts. I've tried to reset it but it asks for my 'restrictions' passcode which I
did not set up. I can't reset it via itunes either because it says I have to turn 'find my iphone' off but it is off. What should I do please?Hi nadzpad,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone 6 Plus. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing or describing. If you are being asked for a Restrictions password, you may find the following article helpful:
About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
If you are getting a message that you must turn off Find My iPhone before restoring from iTunes, then these articles may be more useful:
iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone

You need to use the AppleID & Password you used to set up the iPhone. -
HT204053 I changed my Apple ID online but my phone asks me for my password with the old ID.
I changed my Apple ID on my desktop that syncs with my iphone but when I try to download from the iTunes store it asks for my password with my old ID and then bounces both my old and new passwords.
On your device go to Settings>Store, then tap your Apple ID and sign out.
Also, if you use iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud then scroll down and tap "Delete Account".
You should then be able to sign in using your updated details. -
I am able to log in to Yahoo mail but it keeps asking me for my password every 2 or 3 mins
I have Mac. Since I have updated to firefox 13.0.1 I have trouble with my yahoo mail. I am able to log in but it keeps asking me to type my password every 2 mins. the exact line is this below.
" Sorry, your session has expired. To protect your account, you need to confirm your password periodically." I have contacted to Yahoo help but they said the firefox update problem. Would you know how to fix this problem? Thank youThere is a very long thread here in the forum on this problem.
One possible cause, at least on Windows, is your proxy settings. If you check this deeply buried dialog, you may be able to correct it:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network
Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change. See whether that helps.
More suggestions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/928922#answer-339570 -
please. waiting for your replies.
You should have set up a password. It is important to have one in order to prevent other users from installing applications and to make your Mac safer.
If you have set up your Apple ID, you can try resetting your user password with your Apple ID > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
If it does not work, reset your user password through Recovery > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101 Then, set up a different Keychain password > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1631 -

Please help me with this I am reaaly anooyed because I can't sicronize my music in the cloud
If you mean you mean you need to change the iCloud ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

my friend gave me ipod touch with all his accounts, i created new accounts but when i went on the appstore and tried to update apps installed by him,i was asked his account's password! i dont know his password.how can i use my account to update apps?
You can't. Apps and really all content purchased/downloaded through one Apple ID is forever tied to that Apple ID. In the case of Apps they will always request that Apple ID to update as they are licensed to that Apple ID.
In reality, the Apps were licensed to that Apple ID by the developer. And cannot simply be given away to you for you to use.
He should have wiped the iPod clean so you could set it up for your use without any of his accounts or purchased content as you are not really licensed to any of those Apps.
Your friend should have followed this support document before giving the iPod to you:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
