Unable To Change Security/Privacy Level Settings

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.1 (ran the latest updates). When I launch iChat 4.0, I can't add buddies, I can't show status in the menu bar nor (and the most important), I can't set my Security Privacy level. My entire Security window has every selection grayed out. None of the Privacy Level radio buttons are selected which means I can't see any of my buddies online. My buddies are listed and it shows my account available but that's it. I've already deleted all the apple.ichat prefs, rebooted (and relaunched) and tried changing the settings both logged in and off. Help! I need a fix please. Thanks.

Hi,
I have a theory.
I have no hard evidence.
But....
The firewall in 10.5 was reported as not working properly and if Set to Specific apps was in fact Allowing All
Now you are updated to 10.5.1
I have a suspicion that if left at the 10.5 setting the firewall is not properly updated.
Your symptoms suggest you are not logged into AIM fully/properly as the Security tab is only active when you are logged in.
I would do the following.
Use the Logout of AIM item in the iChat Menu list.
Quit iChat as this tends to rebuild the iChat .plists on closing.
I would go to the Mac Firewall and set it to Allow All (if different)
I would then Set it to All Specific and restart iChat.
If this fails remove iChatAgent from the allow list and Quit iChat and restart it which should put iChatAgent back in the firewall list.
If this does not work I would delete all apps from the Mac Firewall - set it to Allow All and then back again and add iChat and allow it to add iChatAgent.
If this still fails I would then delete the com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist that hold the AIM login as there is still the possibility it is corrupt but may need the firewall sorted first.
Summary.
I am suggesting it is a set of circumstances that may need a specific approach to sort and are asking you to test this out.
In essence this is to reset the firewall and possibly delete the .plist involved.

Volume button on iPad 1 not working unable to change volume even in settings or when listening to music

Volume button not working on my iPad. Have tried reset but still no joy. Also have checked that the mute function.

I have the same issue and I don't have a place to enter a user name. So how did you change your user name? This problem is only on my iPad it did not follow my iPhone. It happened right after updating to IOS 7.1.1 and now I can't use Facebook for anything on my iPad. I have not changed my login on Facebook. Very frustrated.

Unable to change Security Questions

So today I decided to make a purchase on a game I've been enjoying for a while now, however to do so I need my security questions I sorted over two years ago, so I have no clue what they could be. I've added a rescue e-mail onto my account as in https://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312?viewlocale=en_UK on step 5, it shows that I should be able to reset my questions with my rescue e-mail, however that option is simply not anywhere for me. Tried calling support and couldn't get through and I scheduled 2 calls with tech support, neither of which happened in a 2 hour window. If I e-mail, I just get the article linked before.
Help would be appreciated. :/

Please call apple @ 1-800-694-7466

you may want to add a credit card to your iTunes account before calling; so they will have a way to verify your identity.

Where do i go to change my firefox level settings?

I have an old Mac and want to optimize it but haven't the knowledge, have a mac ox s 10.4.11,no money to put in want to eliminate not necc. cookies,and when I push on Firefox icon, nothing happens, can anyone help, not that savvy.

The last Firefox version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4 is Firefox 3.6.28.
Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6 (Firefox 16 runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5).
*http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/25.0/system-requirements/
You would have to get a computer with an Intel processor if you want to be able to install current Firefox releases.
For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.10 ESR compatible version that runs on a PowerPC Mac with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at TenFourFox.

Unable to change wireless security settings on WRT54GS v5.1

I'm using a WRT54GS v.5.1 with the latest firmware (v1.50.9).
Set this up this weekend - all was fine until last night when the router stopped broadcasting the signal. I've reset the modem countless times and powered it down and back on again.
The router is now working fine - but I'm unable to change any of the wireless security settings. When I try to change the setting under Wireless > Wireless Security to WEP, it just jumps back to Disable and no changes can me made. Same situation when trying to enable a Wireless MAC Filter?
Any ideas? I don't want to use the router without any security in place!

you can try to upgrade the firmware of your.
try this link :
http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=557&p_created=108421...
make sure to select the correct model and version of your router. if you cant see the model # of your router as one of the downloads, you will need to have the router replace (hope you'll not).
hope this help.

Cant change password in Security & Privacy

Im trying to change apps that control my computer but I can no longer get access to privacy settings in "security & privacy." I couldnt remember my old appleID password so just changed which means I cant update the login password in the general settings either.
Is anyone able to help me out?

That doesnt work unfortunately. I have just changed my appleID but it still doesnt work.
From what I can see I have a login password set in the security & privacy panel but when I go to change the password I get prompted for my old password first, which I have forgotten. Since there is no way to reset this im stuck between a rock and hard place it seems.

Unable to change site navigation settings

Hi,
I am unable to change navitation settings for a site with the site telling me I do not have permissions.
1) I am a site collection administrator and also an owner of the actual site
2) I was able to do it before, for some reason it stoped working and is giving me the permission error now
3) I can use the error page to send request for permission, however, it comes back to me to approve
4) One colleague, although only owner of one subsite, is having the same issue for this subsite. It used to work for him also.
I found this article here and asked our admin to check the permission. He confirmed that running custom scripts option is and always was disabled.
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/283383.aspx?ss=ed09ef80-acbb-48fc-b6e8-0da9bc4e27da
The reason why it stopped working is something else though.
Allowing to run custom scripts can probably solve the issue but I would like to fix it without that. If the reason is elsewhere, so must the solution be.. or, I hope.
Would anyone please suggest where to look?
Many thanks
Jana

I am able to click on the Navigation in the site settings and the site opens fine. I make my amendments to the settings and only when I try to save it, I get the error saying I do not have permissions.
Many thanks for further suggestions

" plug-in name does not support the highest level of security for Safari plug-ins" appear for some plugins in Safari Security "Manage Website Settings"?

Hi,
Wondering why "<plug-in name> does not support the highest level of security for Safari plug-ins" appear for some plugins in Safari > Security > "Manage Website Settings"?
Have been trying to get to the root cause of the problem but did not find much on this. I am trying to figure out what can get the warning to go away completely than using the Allow/Always Allow options for the plug-in
Thanks,
Shyam

Hi Linc,
Thank you for your response. Here is the screenshot of the warning that I am talking about.
Here is what I do:
1. Launch Safari and open its Preferences. I have Safari 7.1 installed on my machine.
2. Click Security Tab and click Manage WebSite Settings
3. A window opens showing me all the Plug-ins that I have (listed on the left hand side).
4. One of them is the Adobe Reader plug-in. When I click Adobe Reader, the following details about the plug-in show up on the right
I was referring to the highlighted section that warns me about this plug-in not using the highest level of security for Safari Plug-ins.
Note: I do not see this for all my plug-ins (QuickTime, Adobe Flash Player don't give me this warning) which tells me that there is a way to make the warning go away.
Thanks again,
Shyam

How do i disable "change password" in "security & privacy"

Hi... i think something might be wrong... I have a standard account (for a child) that is locked down by parental controls by an admin user. I've locked changing the password - "Disable changing the password"... The lock icon is locked for users and groups in the standard account - so that works.
However if i goto System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General/Change Password it allows for changing of the standard account password and does not require the admin password.
Really? Can anybody else confirm this? How do I lock this also?
thanks in advance.

This isn't an answer.
You aren't the only one seeing this behavior. If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.
You might want to submit feedback to Apple so they are aware of the problem:

Windows 2008 R2, Internet Information Services: Changing security settings to change a folder's content by using PHP

Hello,
I would like to ask if somebody's there who could help me:
I am a PHP developer from Stuttgart, Germany.
In my PHP web application I want to edit text files by using PHP code.
These files are created once (by me), so they exist before the PHP application is used by any web user.
My PHP code reads out some text files and other text files' contents are changed.
In my developer's environment (Windows XP, XAMPP) it works fine.
So I'm sure my code is OK.
But the productive system ist a windows server system (Windows 2008 R2 and Internet Information Services).
And here it doesn't work! The text files' contents aren't changed.
I know on windows based webserver systems I have to change the folders security settings
(what I mean: the folders where the text files are placed). I must give the IIS system user (in the past it's name was IUSR..., now it is named otherwise) additional rights, so that it can change folders content.
I did. But it doesn't work.
Some years ago when we used Windows Server 2003 that was the solution that worked.
Giving the IUSR right to change folders content. That was it.
But what is new in Windows Server 2008 that it doesn't work?
I think it must be very complicated. Could somebody help me?
Thanks
Tommy

Hi,
This is IIS related issue, so you may post in the IIS forum.

When I go into settings iCloud my apple ID is listed as my old apple ID and I am unable to change it. Any help?

I recently updated to to iOS 6.1. When I did it asked me to put in my password but my old apple ID came up. I skipped it and the message stated that my facetime and iCloud might not work correctly. I skipped anyway. I have since verified my apple ID online and my facetime seems to be working correctly, However, when I go into settings>iCloud>my apple ID is listed as my old apple ID and I am unable to change it. Any help?
Thanks,
E

Welcome to the Apple Community..
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
