Turn Off Admin Password for Application Install

Hi guys, I am setting up a PPC G4 for a friend and have installed OSX 10.5.8 on it and would like to make it as simple to use as possible. One thing I would like to do is remove all those 'Enter your username and password' dialogs that appear every time you install something. Is this possible? If so, how?
Cheers

It's not possible: it's there for your protection. For example, if you hit some malware that tried to install something it would bring this up to warn you.

I can't turn off "Remember passwords for sites." It keeps coming back on.

No matter how many times I uncheck "Remember passwords for sites" it keeps coming back on.

This issue can be caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

How to recover admin password for macbook pro

I'm assuming my apple id/password are the same for both the apple store & admin... I'm finding they are not. I'm sure it was bad note taking on my part. However, I need help! I am in the "downloading" stages of OS X Yosemite. I'm being asked for my password and what I thought is the correct one, is not. HELP! Thank you!

It's the password you use to open a keychain. Normally, your system keychain uses the same password as your admin account. When you login to your account your keychain is opened automatically. If you have changed your admin password and get a request for the keychain password then look at this for the solution:
OS X Yosemite- About your keychain password
OS X Mavericks v10.9.1- Repeated prompts to unlock "Local Items" keychain
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

I cannot recover my Master Password under 10.6.8. I want to change it. I do have my admin password for my account. How can I create a new master pw?

I cannot recover my Master Password under 10.6.8. I want to change it. I do have my admin password for my account. How can I create a new master pw?

If you are referring the Master Password that can be set in System Preferences>Security>FileVault, then see this thread:
How to reset FileVault master password
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5822772
As explained there, and for obvious security reasons, a new master password created in this fashion way will not unlock any pre-existing FileVault accounts. Resetting the master password is therefore only useful after you turn off FileVault in all existing accounts. You can then turn FileVault back on after the new master password is in place.

All of a sudden, I need to use my password to drag a file to 'Trash'; how do I turn off the password requirement?

I've had this MacBook Air for 9 months and never had to type a pasword in so I could drag a file to the trash.

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Back up all data now. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Recovery screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

5. From the Account Information screen, scroll to the bottomof the page to the Settings section.
Then it said to: 6. Click "Manage" to the right of "Subscriptions".

Streaming audio data won't stop unless I turn off the phone for 5 minutes.

I have been testing the Curve 8330 regarding streaming audio from an icecast server. The address of the station is http://www.AirProgressive.org, click on "listen". (I have already run this by the icecast experts and they say it is a Blackberry "bug")
BLACKBERRY USERS! PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE STREAM (dataflow) DOES NOT STOP WHEN YOU CLICK "STOP" ON THE MEDIA PLAYER! (and will continue for as long as you leave it on, and even if you turn off your BB for less than 5 Minutes.) I'm not sure if you are charged for these streams, but it seems that the battery is depleted rapidly if this continues without aborting it. See details of my testing below:
> Access icecast stream by clicking on the link on the website:
     http://www.airprogressive.org:8000/stream.m3u
> Stream consists of mp3 at 32kbps / 22050 Hz.
> Stock media player launches, stops at "Do you want to open or save the item."
    > No connections started yet (viewing "List Clients" page of icecast admin interface).
> Click "open", stream begins playing.
> Two connections are started instead of just one, always offset by 2 seconds.
    -- but sometimes only one connection starts.
> FYI, Icecast config: <client-timeout>30</client-timeout>
Here is the output from the "List Clients" page of Icecast2 Admin

I can understand that the player may continue to communicate when "stopped" to fill the lookahead buffer, but when it is restarted, it should use the same connection and not start a new one.

So, to stop the streaming server from communicating with the Blackberry handset, you must either turn it off or disable mobile network for at least 5 minutes.
It appears that the handset continues to transfer data (and therefore incur charges, if the user does not have an unlimited data plan) if the handset is not turned off or mobile network disabled for at least five minutes. It also runs down the battery much faster because the radio transmitter is actively being used, even if the user is not listening to the stream.
The Blackberry network has intervening servers that continue to receive data from the streaming server even if the handset is off. This behavior likely has utility to deal with the realities of the cellphone network, to allow the stream to be transferred from one cell to another, and deal with the possibility that the handset may be out of range for up to 5 minutes without "interruption." However, it is hard to turn off the stream.
QUESTIONS:
1. Is there a way to stop this sort of behavior using a configuration setting or something? It seems particularly stupid to start a new stream connection each time a STOP/START cycle is completed, allowing the old connections to continue streaming data (even if the data does not make it to the handset).
2. IS IT TRUE that the user will be "charged" for the data streams that are not disconnected?
3. Is there a way for a developer to send a signal to the intervening cellphone network to discontinue the orphan streams?
THANKS!!

No, I'm using something like this :
to start...
                   channel = new SoundChannel();
                                        soundPlay = new Sound();
                                        urlReq=new URLRequest;
                                        urlReq.url=mylUrl; // url of radio mp3
                                        soundPlay.load(urlReq);
                   channel = soundPlay.play();
to stop it...
                      channel.stop();
                      channel=null;
                      try{soundPlay.close();} catch (e:Error) {} // error or not, the sream won't stop.
Any idea ? Did you try with a NetStream object ?

Turn Off Firmware Password will not accept correct password

Hello communtiy,
A while back I set a Firmware Password on my 15" MacBook Pro Early 2011 and have used it with great success. Now however I wish to turn it off and am having difficulties doing so. The problem is as follows:
I restart my Mac, press and hold ALT to enter the drive selection screen, enter the Firmware Password, and select the Recovery Partition.
Once the screen starts I select utilities -> Firmware Password Utilities and select "Turn Off Firmware Password..." I am promted to enter my old password, which I do, at which point I get the red error message: "The password is incorrect."
As you can see the password should be correct as I entered the ultility window using it, but it isn't accepted by the tool. I've tried every other conceivable option, such as my admin password, old passwords I no longer use, etc. all to no avail.
I receive the same message when trying to simply change the Firmware Password.
Might there be a problem with special characters? My password uses alpha numeric values as well as two special characters: ? and ,
The system currently runs OS X 10.8.2
Any help in solving this issue would be greatly appriciated!

Ah, I didn't know they could. In that case I will see if I can get an appointment. If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know. Would be great if I could work this out over the weekend.
