Why i always get "Network is trying to modify the system network configuration type your password to allow this

why do i always get "Network is trying to modify the system network configuration type your password to allow this"

Hello, let's see if this old cure still works...
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.

"networksetup is trying to modify the system network configurations" type your password to allow this.Type your password to allow this. No amount of password typing seems to satisfy the request. The pop up box will not go away!!!!

Hi Glenyse,
Did you find the answer to your question? I have the same problem. Or can anyone else help?
My wife’s 2012 Macbook Pro has Yosemite and is using Wi Fi for the internet connection.
Every time, both on startup and awaking from sleep, a window appears on the desktop with a locked icon saying, “Networksetup is trying to modify this system. Type your password in to allow this”.
The window (which can’t be moved or dragged) shows the computer’s user name. The password has to be repeatedly typed in as many as 10 times and the highlighted ‘modify configuration’ box clicked before the window disappears and the computer then functions normally.
Needless to say, this is driving my wife up the wall… I would certainly appreciate information on how to get rid of this troublesome window!

When trying to delete files, I get the following message, 'Finder Wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.'

I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.7.4 on my iMac and am suddenly unable to simply move files to the trash.
Instead, I get the following message: 'Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.'
When I do enter my password, the file does not enter the Trash but seems to disappear.
I tried to find ways to revert to previous settings that allowed me to move files to the trash, but had trouble doing so.
How can I get my iMac to run normally?
Cheers!

I have a mac computer. I am trying to install flash player but get the message "install adobe flash player wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." I do not use a password to open the computer.

I have a mac computer that uses no password. When installing flash player I get the message "Install adobe flash player wants to make changes Type your password to allow this. I can't get past this message.

Hi,
To change your password you will need to open System Preferences, then open Users & Groups, click on Change Password. Change your password to a temporary one, then when you have finished you do the same procedure to change it back, by typing in the temp password then leaving the new password blank. Hope this helps.

I am trying to transfer files from my old pc to my new mac. When I go to migration assistant, and hit the continue button on the introductory screen, I get a message that says M Asst wants to make changes - type your password to allow this. What is my password or how do I set one up for this?

When you set up your Mac you had to enter a admin password to set up your user account.
If you did not enter one then try using the "blank window" as your password. ie Just hit return with nothing entered.
If that does not work try this reference:

I keep getting a message after start up saying "Completer wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this (which I have not done). Have screen shots. What do I do? Read this is malware. Running Yosemite OS X 10.10.1

Have mac book pro, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I get this after start up: "Completer wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this" (which I have not entered. When I cancel, there is some unknown "installer" icon on my desktop. If I move it to the trash, this all just starts over on the next time it is restarted. Have screenshots, but for some reason I can not attach to this message right now. Heard this is malware...HELP!

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

There should be nothing native to the OS X which would ask for a password
or other information on a restart, unless accompanied by the traditional login
box with your user name.
There are adware or marginal products that could be called malware (bad)
that would impose their presence and some items that could have been
downloaded by accident or through some corrupted free software site; of
those some could ask for and gain permission to go through your Mac
and maybe even run in the background to do other nefarious misdeeds.
You could see if startup in SafeBoot allows you access past that the Completer.
Since I don't have a pile of helpful article links on how to resolve various issues
I'd be looking them up one way or another.
There are some helpful items in the site http://thesafemac.com - see Tech Guides
listed (adware, malware, & performance) plus a link to the adwaremedic page.
Also, Apple support has a helpful page on how to remove adware and other bits:
•Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can you post the permissions on your Home folder?
Open Terminal, copy and paste this command. Copy the output and post here. If you want to mask out your user name, then paste the output into a text editor and use Find/Replace to change it to something like "username" before pasting it in here.

I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
"Restore" functions, not the
"Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
The 3 backup problems are:
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
some recent Windows update. Thanks.

Network Setup trying to modify your system settings...This box won't go away!

OSX Version 10.8.1....Since I have updated, I get "networksetup is trying to modify your system settings. Type your password to allow this" Sometimes there are ten of these boxes on top of each other, so I'm constantly typing in my password or clicking cancel..cancel...cancel... Sometimes it's very difficult to make it go away, and is extremely annoying. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Your key chain probably needs some attention, reset it for the same password thru out. Go to utilities, keychain access, and you might be able to find the offender, also read the following.

Why I always get the error(ORA-00600)?

Why I always get the error(ORA-00600)?
My database Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 I installed Oracle Jdeveloper 9i on my computer.
OS:windows2000
My program:
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
con =java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@server:1521:db","developer","12345");
java.sql.Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
java.sql.ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select task_title from task");
while (rs.next()){
     //getInformation
     String fjbh=rs.getString("task_title");
If I use this in a common java program(like MyParser.java). It will work well:
D:\JavaApp> java MyParser
but If I put the code into a JSP file . It will not work.I tried several times.
I find that the statment:
     java.sql.ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select task_title from task");
will throw the exception.It seemd that I can connect to the database ,
but can not execute some sql statment.
If I execute this sql statment:
     select sysdate from dual ;
     or
     select task_ID from task ; --task_id is a column with the type NUMBER(10)
it will work.
but if I execute :
     select Task_Title from task where task_id=1; --Task_Title is a column with the type VARCHAR(50)
     or
     select t.task_text.getCLOBVal() task_Text from task t where task_ID=1;
               --task_text is a column with the type XMLTYPE, I use this column save XMLFile.
it will not work.
the detail error information as follow:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [ttcgcshnd-1], [0], [], []

It is a database bug (an ORA-0600 almost always is). In this case it is bug# 1725012. You can see the details from MetaLink. There are some patches (by platform) available you should see which may apply to you.

Privacy is an Option in the Settings App, its not in Safari as that applies only to Safaris browsing. Its called Privacy in IOS 6 In previous versions the same thing can be found under Location Services.
