Why does my G5 not ask for my pswd when mounting a .dmg when my iBook does?

i have an app on a disk that i am trying to put on my iMac G5. it opens but does not ask for my password. when i click the installer it goes through a couple stages but then says "there is nothing to open". so, i take this disk and put it in my iBook, it opens and i get the prompt asking for my password, i type it in, click the installer and the app installs no problem. i've opened apps from a disk before on my iMac with no problems. i get the same error response if i use the diskmounter or disk utility. if anyone has any ideas i'd be almost next to eternally grateful.
cheers.

  • SOST Repeat Send does not ask for new fax number or e-mail address.

    SOST Repeat Send does not ask for new fax number or e-mail address.  It does work for one user but not for any others.  It is supposed to ask you if you want to change the fax number or e-mail address if you were the user that sent the document.  Does anyone know if there are settings that control this somewhere?  Using SAP R/3 vers. 4.7

    Dear Friends,
    Normally, we can change the receipient address, if we send. We can not change the receipient address of another user.
    Check  Note 685164 - Resending with recipient change.
    As per this note Go to SM30 and add parameter "SOST_REC_CHANGE" value "X" in view "SXPARAMS".
    Now, if you click "repeat send" icon, it will ask below two option in dialog box:
    The message is sent again. You can change the recipient before
    sending. The sent message then appears as a
    as a new send request in the list
    Send to same recipients again
    Change recipients before sending
    It is working to me ....

    why does mac os keep asking for keychain password

    I'm getting this same problem. It seems random when it asks for the password, maybe every 3 or 4 days it'll ask when I plug it in at night. I've tried restoring from an older backup, which has not resolved the issue.

  • Portege M400: Why am I not asked for a password at boot?

    Hi,
    I have a Portege M400 and I used the Toshiba Security Assist software to set up a BIOS boot password as well as an HDD protection password. This software, as well as the actual BIOS (Esc+F1 at boot) both show that the password I set is registered/recognized.
    However, I am not actually asked for either of those passwords when I boot the computer!!!
    I have a dual-boot system with the original WinXP for Tablet PC on one of the partitions, and an Ubuntu Feisty on another. My boot loader is GRUB but I don't understand why that should affect the behaviour of the BIOS that should happen before it calls the boot loader...
    Can someone help me with this? It would be really important for me to protect my BIOS and the hard drive.
    Thanks in advance,
    dsokus

    1. Check your security settings with the Toshiba password utilty. Are these configured correctly?
    2. Did you set the user or the supervisor password? If you only set the supervisor password you are not asked for the password.
    3. Try to set the HDD and User pw in the initial bios setup (press ESC when prowering on).

  • Why is Apple putting music on my iPhone that I did not ask for and do not want ?

    I have a Mac Pro and an iPod Classic that I use for my music.
    I noticed today that some of my purchased music was on my iPhone iTunes app. I did not ask for these to be installed.
    Also, I noticed that when I tap on a song, sometimes it plays, sometimes nothing happens.

    Do you mean this
    No.
    These are thousands of songs that I purchased using my Mac Pro.  I sync my iPod Classic with a USB cable to move the songs to the iPod.
    Now, my purchased songs (not the ones imported into my Mac Pro using a CD), are in my iPhone.   I do not use the cloud.  I have been very careful not to sign up for anything related to the cloud.
    I'm trying to figure out why Apple is forcing this on me.
