Why doesn't my computer recognize my password

Reset my admin password and it works when I start up my computer. But when I go to install or change any settings it rejects my information. PLEASE HELP!

Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried that, but I still can't make any changes.  Everytime I go to change a setting or install an update/new program it asks me for the Admin Name and Password.  When I enter this information it asks me again and again until it presents my password hint (to the same admin password I entered).  I know what I entered is correct-it is the same Admin Name and Password I use to access the computer from turning it on.  I also only have one Admin.  Could it be that the computer locked me out? I'm not sure how to fix this.  I can't update anything and now my iTunes is out of date so I cannot access my iPhone!

  • Why doesn't my itunes recognize my ipod nano 6th gen anymore?

    I recently purchased a lot of new songs and downloaded the newest version of itunes.  Now when i plug my ipod (6th gen) into the USB to sync with itunes it shows that it is charging ("connected - eject before disconnecting") then it ejects itself and the whole time itunes never registers my ipod.  So frustrating!!  I've restarted my computer many times, i've uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes many times.  I've tried holding the sleep/on/off button with the volume down button to restore it then i get a message  from itunes saying that it can't restore my ipod because of an error.....  What can I do???  Please Help!!!!

    Why doesn't my iTunes recognize my "Songs for Japan" CD,
    iTunes gets information about all CDs from a database called Gracenote (which has nothing to do with iTunes/Apple), but if no one has entered the information about that CD into Gracenote, that's why your iTunes cannot fill in the track names. You could send that information to Gracenote yourself by completing the track names and artists and then clicking on Advanced/Submit CD track names. That would help everyone else in the future.
    However, you then go on to say;

    If your iTunes cannot get any track information for any CD, then either your iTunes isn't connected to the internet, or your iTunes setting have changed. To check your iTunes settings, go into Edit/Preferences/General and look at the tick-box (check-box) named Automatically retrieve CD track names from the internet. There should be a tick (check-mark) in the box.

    Why doesn't my computer download the songs from my iphone with clouds next to them?

    You can copy iTunes purchased songs over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, or have you tried going to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes and seeing if you can redownload them on your computer ?

  • HT4623 Why doesn't my iPad recognize an update to iOS 7?  When I try to update, it says, "iOS 5.1.1   Your software is up to date."

    Why doesn't my iPad recognize an update to iOS 7?  When I try to update, it says, "iOS 5.1.1   Your software is up to date."

    Because you have a 1st generation iPad and iOS 5.1.1 is the last update for it.
    It will not get any further iOS updates beyond 5.1.1
    iOS 7 requires at least an iPad 2

  • Why won't my computer recognize my iphone 5?

    I have an iphone 5 that in the past has had no trouble connecting to my windows computer. Recentlly though, it is syncing my pictures and music just fine though wifi, but when I try to plug it in through the USB port, my computer nor itunes recognizes my iphone. When I pull up the computer folder, all I see is "icloud photos" system folder, where my iphone should be.
    Things I have tried:
    1. I am running version 11 of itunes, and no updates are required.
    2. Turning my iphone on and off
    3. Restarting my comptuer
    4. Restarting itunes
    5. Turning off and on the Apple Mobile service and also making sure it is set to starting automatically
    I have not uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes but that will be next step. I'm not sure if that is necessary. When I run the itunes diagnostic, it says it doesn't recognize an apple device connected to it.
    I am running Windows XP if that helps. My iphone does not have the latest upgrade because I need to delete its photo library though itunes before I can download it. And I can't do that unti iTunes and my computer recognize my phone.
    Appreciate any help!

  • Why won't my computer recognize my ipod when I try to restore it?

    I've had a problem with my ipod saying "do not disconnect". I've gone through every step to no avail. When I tried to restore the ipod and launch the updater, it's telling me it "can't mount ipod". My usb port is fine and the computer recognizes the fact that something is plugged in, but isn't recognizing the ipod. (It still says do not disconnect) The only other thing I can think of is that it might be the cord, but we were able to use it once (only once!!!) and download music. It hasn't worked since.

    You must mean Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Shockwave Player. Get the latest versions here:

  • Why doesn't Creative Cloud recognize my Adobe password?

    I can't use my Adobe password to download and install updates with Creative Cloud account manager. Are there 2 passwords?

    Hi moenigw@ottawasenators,
    No, to install Adobe apps and updates it doesnt require 2 passwords. You may be asked to enter you computer admin password to authenticate the install.
    Hope it answers your query.

  • Why won't my computer recognize any disks that are inserted?

    My computer says theres no disk inserted into the diskdrive, but there is. It's not just certain ones, it's all disks that give me this problem.

    Hi PWolves04, the fix bobapcoed described probably won't help you because your computer still "sees" your CD drive--it just doesn't read the disks you insert. The fix makes your computer see your drive again when it has completely disappeared from "My Computer". Speaking from personal experience (I've had to replace three CD/DVD-Rom drives over the years) one of the first signs that they're dying is the inability to recognize and read disks.
    If you want to try the "Fix" before you move onto other troubleshooting avenues, here is a link to one thread that discusses it:

    I recommend that you search the Importing and Burning Category for entries by "toonz" for more information if you really think this will help.

  • Why won't my computer recognize that I am plugging in my ipod? itunes will not recognize it either

    I keep plugging my ipod into the computer and it will not recognize that anything id plugged in. Also, itunes will not recognize that it is plugged in either. It is a 2nd generation ipod

    I'm having the exact same problem with my iPod Nano 2nd Gen.  Neither the new MacBook Pro nor the 1 year old Mac Pro will recognize it.  I authorized both computers but the Nano doesn't show up on either.  Strange because I have the iPod Classic (from 2000) and it works fine.

  • Why won't ANY computer recognize my i4?

    Why I first bought my Verizon 8gig iPhone 4, I plugged it into my laptop and began following all the steps to link it to my itunes( upgraded from black 8gig i4 to this white one) it was working fine, and my laptop died halfway through the process. Ever since my laptop never even made the noise when I plugged it in. It wasn't a huge issue, as I only used my phone for pictures, texting, and calls, and facebook, but now my memory is full and I need to get files off it. I borrowed my girl's laptop and i found out that it doesn't get recognition from ANY computer. What is wrong with my phone??

    Unless these "other" computers have iTunes installed you will not be able to manage the content on the device.

  • Why doesn't Migration Assistant recognize my backup disk after rolling back to Mountain Lion from Mavericks?

    I rolled back my OS from Mavericks to Mountain Lion and now the Migration Assistant isn't finding my Time Machine backups.  Any idea why this is?

    One reason may be a different computer name.  Check System Preferences > Sharing and make sure your computer name has been the same through all your various OS X iterations.

  • Why won't my computer recognize my Canon XHA1s via firewire anymore?

    My Windows 7 HP computer will not recognize my camera (XHA1s) anymore.  I used it two weeks ago to record and transfer the video, and everything went just fine.  I went to use the same exact setup two days ago and the computer will not recognize the camera.  I tried the firewire cable I have been using and I even went out and bought a new one to see if a new cable would solve it, but neither worked.  I am at a loss cannot figure out what happened/went wrong.  Any help is appreciated.

    Do you have any other firewire devices you could connect to the computer to test the port?  When you have the camera connected does anything show up in Device Manager?  You could try uninstalling the driver for the port and then reinstalling it to see if that helps.

  • Why won't my computer recognize my brand new iPod Nano I purchased today?

    I purchased a Nano 3 weeks ago and it quit holding a charge. I couldn't use the wall charger (Apple product) and then when I tried charging on my computer, nothing happened. I returned it and went to set up the new Nano today on the computer and the USB isn't recognized. It briefly recognized it and I saw that software was being installed.  It then stated that the USB device was unknown.  I then came here got some ideas and tried uninstalling the driver, but there was not type of un-named driver and nothing identified as Apple.  I tried my iPhone and that did sync up.  I updated my iPad a few days ago.  What is wrong with these darn Nano?  It looks like I will have to get a Samsung if this doesn't work.  I am not a high tech computer person and I don't have all the time in the world to figure this out.  Help.
