Why am I asked for a password when trying to use about;config, where is the password set and can I change/delete this?

I tried to use about:config, but I was asked for a password. I don't remember entering a password and have never used the master password function. Where has this come from, and how can I change the password or get rid of the need for a password?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a template?

Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a Pages template?

You are getting an error message because there is an error.
Knowing wht version of Pages you are using, what template you are attempting to open, and what error message Pages is sending you might help determine why you are getting that specific rror message. Without those, the first sentence above i pretty much all that can be said with any assurance.

Since last update (today) I get invalid password when trying to use back to my MAC, password works everywhere else

since last update (today) I get invalid Apple ID password when trying to use back to my MAC in Icloud app on my MAC, password works on all my other devices. GLITCH ?

Try going to the Apple ID page on your web browser
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
and try to either retrieve or reset your password
(obviously you had to be able to successfully log in to be able to post here)
I was finally able to log in through my system preferences after about three or four hours. I ran a disk utility to repair permissions and restarted and it seemed to work ok.

HT5037 I followed the above instructions and after I choose the library I want to upgrade and hit continue it wants to open my iPhoto to convert, when I click yes it just gives me the original message and sends me back to this page. Am I missing something

I am trying to get photos off of my airport time capsule back up onto my new macbook pro. I followed the above instructions and after I choose the library I want to upgrade and hit continue it wants to open my iPhoto to convert, when I click yes it just gives me the original message and sends me back to this page. Am I missing something?

Is your Time Capsule being used for your TimeMachine back up? Or is it simply being used as an external hard drive?
To use a TimeMachine back up you must first restore it

Believe it or not, it was the FireWire drive that was the problem! I managed to successfully install Windows 7 using an external USB DVD drive!
Well I am truly staggered, I have tried this on two different MacBook Pros, with three different external USB optical drives. Don't know if you googled as I suggested but you would find hundreds of others who have found same thing. The exception is MacBook Air which works with the Apple writer, but I don't know much about this.
Were you doing any of the special workarounds with refedit etc?
What model USB DVD drive?

Getting an error message that unable to check for software update when trying to download new iOS 8.0.2 update ?? Can someone help ???

Getting an error message of unable to
check for software update when trying to update to
ios 8.0.2. Can someone help ??

Howdy there otss1979,
It sounds like you are unable to download the iOS 8.0.2 update either, over the air, or using iTunes. If you are updating the software on your phone in Settings > General > software update I would recommend starting with this article:
Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
If you are using iTunes, I would use this article instead:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
If you are getting a specific error number, the following article will help you get that resolved:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors
If this does not resolve the issue, could you please write the error message you are getting word for word for me?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Why am i asked for security questions when i never filled any out when registering my device

When i now try to purchase something from itunes store i am asked to answer security questions for which i never gave answers to when registering my device

You should have been asked to set them when you created your iTunes account (unless the account was created prior to them being introduced), not when registering a device to your account.
Are you able to set them, or reset them via the Password & Security section on your account on http://appleid.apple.com ? You won't be able to reset them if you don't have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account.
If you can't set/reset them then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

HT201272 Why am I asked for bank details when downloading free apps?

When trying to install and download free apps from the app store why am I asked to enter my bank details and confirm my purchase???

For the App Store you need an Apple ID with a credit card tied to it.
Apple will make an Authorisation Holds for a $1 to verify credit card information but will be not charge.

I used to have an RSS feed to a blog site which is protected by a username and password rembered by Firefox. I am now asked for those details when trying to enter the blog and despite entering them correctly I am denied entry.

My old server (5.5. years) was failing me and loosing some random items. I have accessed this blog site for the past three years and during that period the access passwords and user names have been changed several times. Each time I asked Firefox to remember the correct details and I gained entry with no problems. Before I replaced the equipment I was continually refused entry despite entering all the correct information. I received a message telling me that I was either not entering the correct information (which according to the Blog editor I was) or that my server did not know how to connect to the RSS feed.

Try BottomFeeder for those live feeds.

Why is Acrobat X Pro (CS6, Windows 7) asking for Flash Player when trying to play a video?

I created an interactive PDF from InDesign that includes f4v and mp4 videos. When I click on them to activate I get this message: "To view the Flash® technology content in this PDF file, please install the required version of Flash Player." I checked the version of Flash player on both of my computers and they both have the latest. And, they both worked when tested.
So, what the heck's going on here?

Well, it sounds like Flash Player is installed and running, though I think you might have transposed a couple numbers (it should be 10,3,183,7). Are you having problems with any other FB games? Have you posted on the game's forums to see if any other user has encountered issues recently?

Xp laptop keeps asking for "network key" when trying to connect to airport

Hi all. Just connected a new airport extreme and all went well with the Imac and ethernet connected Vista machine and 3 iphones. Life was good and then I tried to connect my toshiba running xp sp2 and I keep getting a message saying the network requires a "Network Key". This is not the password but something else I can't figure out. Extreme's security level is set a WEP/WEP2 and I have dissabled the firewall on the toshiba. I can get connected when I travel to hotels everywhere just not at home.
Any ideas?

+I keep getting a message saying the network requires a "Network Key". This is not the password but something else I can't figure out. Extreme's security level is set a WEP/WEP2 and I have dissabled the firewall on the toshiba+
Here I think you may have meant to say WPA/WPA2? WEP is normally WEP128 or WEP64, etc.
Anti-virus programs can sometimes prevent connections, so that might be an angle. XP SP2 should certainly support WPA/WPA2 levels if that is what you meant. WEP is another can of worms.
Not sure about the "network key", that's normally simply the "password". Just a hunch here.....
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station menu item (at the uppermost top of the screen)
Click Equivalent Network Password
This will reveal the actual code that is generated by your "password". Maybe the Toshiba is looking for that?

Forms Services: Invalid username/password when trying to use Forms Utility

In Oracle Application Server Control, Forms Services, I clicked on Forms-> Forms Utility-> In the Command text field, I typed "ps" then I clicked <Submit>.
A username/password form is displayed. I entered the username/password then clicked on OK button.
The following error message appeared, although the username/password provided was for sure correct (they are the ones I used when I started the Oracle AS Control in the first place):
Error: oracle.sysman.emSDK.emd.comm.RemoteOperationException Check the User Name and Password
Also I got the same message when I tried to stop a session.
Am I right that I should use the administrator username/password used to start the Oracle AS Control? If yes, why I am gotten this message?

Frank,
- user credential should be OS userid/password of user who installed iAS.
I had tried to log on using OS userid/password.
- set "Log on as a batch job" priviledge.
privilege had been already assigned.
- check if "allow service to interact with desktop" is enabled
it had been already enabled.
- If your system does not have MKS TOOLKIT, it won't work. However, this page is designed for future enhancement. See Online Help.
1. What is MKS Toolkit?
2. It is stated in the documentation that it will be enhanced in the future but the command "ps" should work. It is clearly stated that I should see a list of processes.
Thanks Frank.
Merry Christmas to you by the way.

Why am I getting a "connection error" when trying to buy a paid app in the Mac App Store?

Okay, so I am currently running OS X Mountain Lion on a brand new Macbook Pro 15 inch (early 2013). I haven't had any problems so far. However, today I tried buying a $10 app in the app store, and when I put in my login credentials to validate the purchase, it showed a loading wheel for about five minutes, then showed in red text, "Connection Error," just below the login fields. I've researched this issue and found it to be a bug in Lion... but no solutions for Mountain Lion. Any ideas?
I tried doing the thing with the Keychain Access, but there were no blue pluses under "Certificates." I should also mention that my network connection is fine.
Thanks in advance fellow Apple dudes!

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
