Unable to make changes or download apps

I am able to login to my admin account but am unable to change settings or download apps. I am using the same password I use to login to my account. This just suddenly happened about a week ago. Any suggestions?

You cannot delete all the accounts. Your computer needs one admin user account to operate properly and any time you install a new program you must offer up a password...even if that password is nothing more than pressing return. Which, I might add, is a really bad idea.

Unable to make changes to your software

Hi,
We have an SCCM 2012 client (Vista pc) which was upgraded (SCCM 2007 => 2012 via client push).
We deployed a task sequence with OSD Windows 7. This worked fine untill now.
Suddenly we get the message "Unable to make changes to your software", None of the applications you tried to install began installation succesfully.
There is no smsts.log since the tasksequence didn't even started.
Please advise.

Found the problem. On Vista as well wifi as standard nic are enabled. Although it should not happen, the wifi-address/mac is used to download content. When we added the wifi network as boundary, problem was solved.

Unable to make changes to your software when executing software in SC

I often got below error when trying to execute software via SC. The package is successfully distributed to my DP and I can confirm that the client machine trying to execute the software is within the managed boundaries configured in the console.
I don't know what else that I need to look at to troubleshoot this. What are the log files to look at? execmgr?

Check the boundaries the client will be in and make sure it's reporting back ok to the 2012 site

Why doesn't Apple make FaceTime a downloadable app which forces At@t to allow FaceTime to everyone?

Okay, everyone who has AT&T knows they are messing with FaceTime by restricting its use over cellular. Lawsuits pending unhappy iPhone users. Apple can make this all go away by creating an update that makes FaceTime a downloadable App, thereby forcing AT&T to lift their restriction of buy the data share package to use FaceTime over cellular. I know this is not Apples fault but they were aware that this was in the works prior to ios6 release and the neutrality laws AT&T is using to charge for FaceTime. So, I ask that Apple to look into this possible solution and put an end to all this with one update?

Apple caters to the carriers, and FaceTime over cellular pulls a lot of data. Each carrier who has requested that it be disabled has already stress tested their network and found FaceTime to be an excessive load. Unfortunately, allowing it would slow down data for everyone.

Can't load websites; unable to make changes in Networks

Dear all
I am using a 2.5 yr old MacBook 2Ghz, and have had very few problems during this time. Recently however, I have been unable to connect to the internet. Airport is receiving a full signal but websites fail to load. When looking under System Preferences -> Network, I am unable to make any changes as the following message appears: "Another application has altered your connection settings". I cannot get rid of this message, nor navigate the Network settings and have to Force Quit System Preferences to close it! Could someone pls advise? Any help gratefully received!
Many thanks
Charlie

I am also having this problem, and have been for some time. Look forward to seeing if anyone can answer this. :\

Unable to make changes to LAN Settings in IE after Group Policy Preference is applied

Hi all,
I have an IE10 group policy preference on a Server 2008 R2 domain that is pushed out to Windows 7 SP1 x64 clients. This IE10 GPP is used to push out proxy settings etc. The GPP is applied fine, however when I go into LAN Settings in IE and make any
changes such as unchecking "Use a proxy server..." these changes are not saved. As soon as I click OK and go back into LAN Settings it reverts back to the GPP settings. Are IE10 GPP's meant to allow a user to amend settings in IE? The users have
permissions to write to the Connections key under Internet Settings in the registry. If I delete the Connections key (Which includes DefaultConnectionSettings and SavedLegacySettings) I can then make changes to the proxy (Although without the original settings).
I know their are other, and better, methods of controlling proxy settings for users but unfortunately this is the way the customer has it implemented. All defaults for GP is applied such as refresh rate etc. I've tested IE10 on a Server 2012 R2 / Win8 environment
with the exact same GPP settings and I can make changes to the LAN Settings. Is this possibly a bug? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
So by now we could make it work by deleting the Connections key, in order to change the proxy settings of IE 10-Windows 7 in the Windows Server 2008 R2 environment?
Besides, could it be convenient for us to perform some more tests here? How IE 10 of Windows 7 behaves in Server 2012 R2 environment? And Windows 8 in Server 2008 R2?
Best regards

Administrator's name and password - unable to make changes

I just bought my Macbook about two weeks ago, created a administrator name and password, and it worked just fine. However, for the past couple of days, I'm noticing that I cannot make any changes with Software Updates because when I type in the (CORRECT) name and password, the window says "You must type an administrator's name and password to make changes to Software Update. Please try again." Yes, I've BEEN typing the correct name/password. I've tried resetting the password which works fine, but when it comes to inputting it into a window, my macbook doesn't seem to read what I type in. Does anyone know what is going on here? Please help....

Reply to maurobras.
Seems to me that you have the lost admin problem.One of Leopard'd little ways I have experienced myself. That is the subject of many posts here. Situation (if I am correct in my supposition) is not that you have entered a wrong password, but that what you thought, and what had been till then, was a password of an administrator was not because Leopard had downgraded that user to a non admin.
Look up ' lost administartor' or such in the postings. Put the Leopard install DVD into the machine when booted up.>>>Restart holding down C key. This boots from the install disk. Do not install but look into the menus for the 're set password' option.>>> Choose to re set the root password>>> Write down a good PW for root and write it down.>>>Reset the root password>>>Close the DVD and log in as root with said PW.>>>As root go to System Preferences>>Open the little lock and choose the account that should be an admin>>tick the little box 'allow to administer..'>>>log out of root>>>log in as admin>>open application Directory Utility>> choose to disable root (a safety procedure). You should find now in Sys Prefs that the account IS an admin. Some have found problems getting an option to disable in Directory Utility in that case there is a aTerminal command, disenable root, that works. Make sure of syntax in any Terminal command. Look up man disenable.

Unable to make changes to a jpg file and then save it without the program trying to change it to a psd [was: What a Pile of Crap!]

Can't even make changes to a jpg file and then save it without the program trying to change it to a psd!!!!! No wonder nobody like Adobe anymore.

Do you mean that PSD comes as a default option or that JPEG is not available no matter what?
Did you add a layer? Did you change the bit depth? Did you add transparency? The JPEG format does not support layers, nor 16-bit images, nor transparency.

Unable to make changes in iCal

I've lost the ability to make changes in iCal. Any change I make is lost when I quit and restart Ical. For example: Added event disappears, deleted task or calender reappears, unpublished calender is again marked as published. All looks fine while iCal is running and is undone when iCal is restarted.
I can make changes in e.g. Mail, I removed tasks from Mail and they stayed removed.
Events added in my iPhone gets added in iCal.
/SJ

I can't seem to find any help for this issue either. I don't have a .mac account btw. but here is what happened to me.
I've been trying to switch over from entourage so I organized my recurring events in ical, including a few calendars, a few subscription calendars and the "show birthday calendars" option. Everything was fine for a week. Then i opened ical and all my tasks and some of my events (but not all) were missing. At this point ical began to NOT save anything i entered. I would enter a test task or event and upon reopening the application the changes were not there.
I searched the internet for help. I found no advice except deleting everything and starting over. This i did last week. I even deleted my plists, library etc... Now when i relaunched, I had empty Home and Work calendars and a "Entourage calendar", which i tried to delete multiple times (syncing was turned off), but I can't seem to permanently remove. It will go away if i delete it, but if i clean up the plists and library again it comes back. maybe this is the way it's suppose to work?? In any case, i finally just unchecked it. This time things seemed to work fine for a day. So i finally turned back on the "birthdays calendar", but i was still leery of subscribing to any other calendars. Things were fine again.
Last night I entered my tasks again. No importing, just directly entering the info into ical. This morning I open i cal and i'm back to where i started. No tasks, missing events, and i can't seem to get any new events or tasks to save. I'm so frustrated! I hope someone can help. Thanks!

How do I change a downloaded app from Russian version to English version

How can I change my Russian version of Kaspersky Internet security to English?

The only app I found by that name is an Audio course and it is in Russian.

Just so you know, there are no functional Antivirus suites for iPad or iPhone. Mainly because they are not needed, but also because the way the system is designed it prevents the Antivirus from doing what its supposed to do because it cannot scan any files outside its own protected file area.
Basically whatever you downloaded is unlikely to be a real Antivirus or Security Suite.

Unable to make changes to Users in WGM

Hi. I'm running server 10.3.9 in school and recently I've run into this problem where I can't edit user accounts. It says that I'm "Authenticated as admin to directory /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1/
When I try to create a new user I get this message:
Error of type -14090 on line 1737 of UserAdvancedPluginView.mm
When I try to change a password I get this message:
An unexpected error of type -14090 occurred. All other settings were saved.
When I try and change a user's state (to disable log in) it appears to work, but if I refresh, or leave that record and return to it, the login box is again checked.
This all seems to start when I logged in from home through a VPN (as I often do), selected all users except a couple such as admin, and disabled their accounts. The next day I was able to log back in, enable all the accounts, and it seemed that things were fine. However, I discovered the problem when I tried to change 1 student's login status a couple of days later.
I've tried restarting the server, and have been poking around looking for something unusual--all to no effect. I'd really appreciate any help, any thoughts to try. Thanks!

G4 Quicksilver Server Mac OS X (10.3.9)

David,
The reason I asked about versions was two-fold. 1) To make sure you had the most current for 10.3 server, and 2) To see if you were using 10.4 tools. The latter because there is a problem once you start using 10.4 tools. According to Apple support - once you use 10.4.4 admin tools (including WGM) you can't use v 2.x tools anymore. As for the problem, there seems to be a limit on massive changes. I.E. Making changes to more than say 250 accounts. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't although it appears to. I have over 2000 users and usually update/change in chunks of 200-250. Not sure if this helps.

Unable to make changes after upgrading to the latest version.

I upgraded to the latest version (6) and I am still able to upload to my ftp but no changes actually take place on my site www.professional-liar.com

I still haven't been able to resolve this issue. Using filezilla didn't
work either. Filezilla accepted all the changes, but no changes on the
actual site.
I even tried to uninstall muse and reinstall and rebuild the site with a
new file, but when I tried to upload a test page that did not work either.
Please help.

Unable to make changes to template given to me

Using CS3, I am trying to modify some pages someone gave to me. It was a template so I detached it as a template. However, now, when I try to modify colors both manually, and through search-and-replace in both the XHTML and CSS files, I receive the following message:
"Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or translator. The change will be discarded."
1.) Why is it doing this?
2.) How can I go about making the changes I desire?
Thanks!

In code view, do you see any editable region comments like this?


If yes, open the page in your favorite text editor. I use NoteTab Light for this. And remove all those DWTemplate specific comments. Save. You should now be able to edit the page normally in DW.
