Type password to allow compressord to make changes

I get that message each time I launch a submit job to compressor. I am using Qmaster and I tried reinstalling, deleteing prefs ect. This is with Snow Leopard running the latest FC Studio with all updates ect...
This message appears for each processor, I have 4 instances in Qmaster, so it will appear 4 times in sequence. Oh and I repaired permissions and changes the Qmaster temp folder. Nothing seems to impact this.
Thanks

That message will appear if you attempt to delete items from Applications, among other reasons. It is there to confirm you know what you're doing.
If that dialog appears when you are attempting to delete items from your Home directory, something is wrong.

  • Type an Administrator Name and Password to allow lpadmin to make changes.

    We have a lab full of PowerPC G5 Towers running 10.5 off a PowerPC G5 tower running 10.5 Server. We are using Open Directory and AFP to allow students to login to Network Accounts from Local Workstations. After Archive and Installing two of the G5 Machines and updating them, We encountered the error "Type an Administrator Name and Password to allow lpadmin to make changes." and it freezes up and doesn't allow us to enter the password or username or even move the mouse.

    To use the solution in the link above in this case, here's one way to go about things:
    - Restart while holding down command and s at the same time to boot into single-user mode.
    - Use the following commands to mount the filesystem (these are also listed on the screen when you start up):
    $ /sbin/fsck -fy
    $ /sbin/mount -uw /
    - You're going to need the root password, so if you haven't already set one, type 'passwd', hit return, and set one.
    - Load Directory Services:
    $ launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist
    - Run the command mentioned in that other post, entering your root password when prompted:
    $ dseditgroup -o edit -p -a admin -t group _lpadmin
    - You may need to run it twice, because the first time it may say something about upgrading your groups or something like that.
    I hope that helps. It worked for me on multiple machines affected by this problem.

  • "Type your password to allow Finder to make changes."

    "Type your password to allow Finder to make changes."
    Why am I being prompted to do this 100% more often than I was in 10.5.x? It's been happening a lot when I move files from one folder into another.

    I see this happen on occasion when moving files from a network drive or other computer. The files and folders don't have the proper permissions as I'm not the owner of the files. I usually put all the transferred files into a folder, get info and change the permissions to Read/Write and click on the gear icon to change the permissions to the same settings for all of the enclosed files and folders. This requires me to type the password once for all those files.
    Where are the files coming from that you are trying to move?
    You are awesome! That is exactly what I was doing. I had copied a folder from a network drive to install some files. Then I tried to delete the folder after the install. I was prompted with the message in this thread. I checked permissions and I did not have read/write privileges even though I was logged in as the admin both when copying and deleting. Thanks!

  • Firefox won't open after update, black screen, beep and "do you want to allow program to make changes..."

    Updated Firefox yesterday and now the program will not open on my desktop. Screen goes black for a second, issues a beep and then get box asking if I want to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer. Does not matter if I click yes or no, box disapears and nothing happens. Willing to remove and reload the program but hate to lose all my bookmarks.

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

  • HT2341 why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

    why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

    When you go to System Preferences > Sound what does it say for Output? Have you had headphones plugged in? Sometimes the headphone jack gets stuck thinking it has something plugged in when there isn't anaything there. SMC also has something to do with Sound:
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.

  • Windows 7 Running as Administrator & Allow Program to Make Changes Popup

    Before someone tells me this question is posted elsewhere; I already know that. I've spent hours trying to figure this out. and have yet to find any answers that have helped.
    The only way I can save presets is to run a program (let's say Photoshop) as Administrator (in Windows 7). If - I Run as Administrator - then - I get the UAC popup asking me if I want to allow Photoshop to make changes to my computer. I cannot tell you how annoying this is. I keep having to go back and forth between setting programs to Run as Administrator everytime I want to work with presets, and then I have to go back to Compatability and set the program to Not Run as Administrator, in order to stop getting that annoying UAC popup. I do not want to turn off my UAC! Perhaps the problem is in the location where I am storing my files. My files are in C:\myName rather than in C:\Users\myName. My Creative Cloud Programs were installed in C:\Program Files\Adobe (by default). myName is set as the Administrator Account in Windows.
    Note: I can save the presets at other locations on my computer, just not in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Program Name\Presets\Gradients\(or whatever) which is where they need to be.
    Please Advise.

    If I try to open Adobe by itself, without attaching it to a specific file, same thing- still got command.
    But I can add this:  Somehow awhile back I found the solution on line (if I recall, it was not in an Adobe forum). Kicking myself for not posting here. So I had it working, but then I recently had to reinstall the program and it went back to square one. However,  I instructed the program to open with an previous version (Right click- properties - previous version) and I know can open again without getting that annoying command. Problem is I stll can't remember how I got it that way the first time. I was thinking it may have been tied in with making it compatible to an earlier version, but I just checked Properties again, and it says Windows 7, so that is not changing anything. I am sorry. I have searched and seached again to find that earlier solution, but now I can't find it! If anyone else can figure it out, please post to save the next person a bunch of time. I have spent hours on this already, searching, reading, tweaking.

  • Every time I try to open Firefox, my User Account Control asks if I want to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer.

  • I cannot open itunes. I updated the software yesterday but it stopped working half way though use and now every time i try openeing it it comes up with the message 'allow programme to make changes to your computer?' and on clicking yes doesnt do anything.

    On using my latop yesterday, i opened itunes and  it gave me the option to update to the new software, which i was happy to do. I went through all the stages on installing the software and it opened up for use.
    On using the software to download new music, i found it was freezing quite a lot and just in general wouldnt work. I closed the prgramme after having to use task manager as it wouln't respond. I then re-opened the programme and it came up with the message 'Do you wish to allow this prgramme to make changes to your computer?' i automatically said yes and expected itunes to open however, it didn't. I ran through troubleshoot compatibility however the issue found said 'Incompatibe application' to which i didnt know what it meant.
    I've tried everything to make it work. Re-starting the computer, going on unistalling the programme and repairing it but, nothings worked.
    I dont want to unistall the programme because i dont want to lose my music. I need a way to fix the programme without unistalling it.
    Can anyone help??

    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Must always "allow program to make changes to computer"  upon opening a pdf file with Acrobat

    Whenever I attempt to open a pdf with AA, I get this notificaiton:
    "Do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer".
    Running  Adobe X Pro (10.1.8) on Windows 7, 64-bit. I had resolved this awhile ago,  but recently had to do a reinstall of Acrobat and now the problem is  reoccuring.
    This doesn't happen on my two other pcs, both running Windows XP.
    I  believe in the past I changed the compatibilty to XP (not sure of  service pack). Have tried 2 and 3 to no avail. Tried "Run as admin" and  not.
    What am I missing?
    Thx

  • How can I download Firefox without being asked for "permision to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer"?

    I've downloaded Firefox on several computers and have never had a problem in the past. You click the most recent version and the download process is just as described. However, this time around (maybe b/c I'm using Windows7?) I would click download, Run, and then it would ask if I would give Firefox permission to make changes to my computer. This sounds really weird, and I don't think I was asked that before. If I say no, the download remains incomplete. Why does this happen? And every time I click on the download link, the file name for where it's "From" differs. Why is that?

  • Extreme not showing up to allow me to make changes to it

    After setting up my Extreme, it does not show up when I enter Airport Setup Assistant under the available Airport Base Station names. I select scan again
    though it still does not show up, though my Airport Express does. Interestingly, I am using the Extreme to share music from my mac to the Express. The Express is working with powered speakers, though I am not able to make changes to this either. Any ideas?

    If you are talking about the new AEBS, the Aiport Setup Assistant is not for the new 802.11n Extreme. You need to use the Airport Utility that came with the new Extreme and you downloaded to configure the system.
