Why is adobe reader asking for a password to open my files

I don't know why but when I try to open most (not all) of my pdf files it is now asking for a password that I did not put in so I cant open them
why and how do I change this to open all my pdf files

Can you post a file you did not lock for us to look at?

Why does it keep asking for my password ?

Why does it keep asking for my password when i open the APP STORE ? Theres no updates and i aint downloading anything. Any help ? Thanks.

It shouldn't really ask you anything. One way to possibly forestall this from happening again would be to register and enter your own ID and password. The system won't ask you for anything else, since it has all the user info it needs.
When is it asking you questions? When the App Store opens? When you click on hyperlinks to documents?

Why does iClod keep asking for my password?

Why does iCloud keep asking for a password? I don't remember asking for this and if I try to turn it off it threatens to delete my calendars off my mac but keep them on some else's server!

Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sing back in (your data will download back to your Mac). See if that stops the prompts for the password.

Welcome to Apple Communities
Your user has a password that you put. It's required for install applications and change preferences

My Mac Mail constantly asks for our passwords before opening our accounts. New iMac with OSX Maverick

My Mac Mail constantly asks for our passwords before opening our accounts. New iMac with OS x Maverick. We get messages such as " Mail can't connect. Appears to be offline due to network problems." or "The connection to the server (null) in port ) timed out." I have confirmed server connections OK with Cox Communication and our Cox Webmail accounts.

Hi Bob13524,
Man, that definitely sounds frustrating! And it sounds like this issue is occurring with several accounts, so let’s see if we can troubleshoot this. The following resource provides some great information for troubleshooting Mail issues, including information on using the Connection Doctor:

Adobe reader 10.1.2 could not open the file '/C/WINDOWS'

since adobe reader 10.1.2 urls don't work in pdf files to folders.
C:\WINDOWS\xy.xls
ok
C:\WINDOWS
not ok > adobe reader 10.1.2 could not open the file '/C/WINDOWS'
C:\WINDOWS
ok > with deactivated protected mode
no problems with 9.5.0 or 10.1.1 with activated protected mode
is that known? any other workaround?
thanks

Hi,
I also have Reader 10.1.2 installed on my machine and I also cannot open a link in the PDF, that will eventually call an exe file. I don't think that there would be different behaviour on your machine. So, I think, now this is the expected behaviour Reader 10.1.2 onwards.

Why does iTunes keep asking for my password when I want to listen to my music on my iPhone?

When I want to listen to music on my iPhone, iTunes keeps asking for my password. I am not purchasing anything. It started today. Why is that?

I've been having the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. I talked to Apple customer service this morning. They had me do the following on both devices in the Settings:
* Sign out of iTunes & App Store
* Sign out of FaceTime
* Sign out of Game Center
* Delete iCloud account
They also had me restore my iPad due to some glitchy behavior in the Music app.
Things seemed to me fixed for a few hours until I went into the iTunes Store app on my iPad and added a movie to my Wish List. When I went back to the Music app, the dreaded "Sign In to iTunes Store" popup started showing up again on both devices. Suspicious!
So, I cleared out my Wish List in both the iTunes Store and App Store. I've been poking at the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad since then I haven't seen that popup once since then. I'm not going to declare victory yet since it's only been an hour or two, but I thought that this was worth mentioning.

Why i always get ask for the password

You purchased the content... the fact that it failed to download does not change the fact that you purchased the content.

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 does iOS repeatedly ask for my password when submitting an App Store review?

I tap Write a Review, it asks for my password.
I write my review and submit, it asks for my password. And again. And again. And again.
Once before, and four times in a row to submit it. Why?
My passwords are generated for me, and I change them regularly, so sometimes I get them wrong while typing them in. If I've taken the time to go write a review and then I get my password wrong one of the four times I'm asked for it, I just get an error saying my password was incorrect and the whole review I've written ust disappears and I'm back on the app overview; I have to go write it all over again and then go through the gauntlet of repeated password entry once again...
This has been happening on iOS 6, and still on iOS 7. (This is the App Store app in iOS on an iPhone, just to be clear; not the Mac App Store or the iTunes Store on OS X. I haven't tried either of those, so I may or may not have the same problem there.)

Entered incorrectly?
Can go to Appleid.Apple.com and select Manage Apple ID - try to sign in, if you are unable to then what is being entered is incorrect.
Reset Password is the next option.
If you are able to sign in then first on your Computer in iTunes go to Store and Select Sign Out - Then Sign back in.
iOS device - Settings - iTunes & App Store - View Apple ID - Sign out / Sign in
That should work for you - however when downloading/purchasing Apps you will most always be prompted to sign in.
And to the comment
[Yesterday I had problems on my desktop but the laptop worked fine.]
Something was being entered incorrectly, passwords do not effect OS's.
Hope the information with Appleid.apple.com helps you out.
If still having trouble no worries contact AppleCare Account Security via Expresslane.apple.com
Just be ready to answer your security questions correctly.

Why does my Mac ask for my password when I try to make a change on my external hard drive with Time Machine?

I recently formatted the hard drive to do a fresh install of Mavericks on my Macbook Pro Retina. I then formatted my Western Digital 2 TB External Hard Drive for Time Machine. I then began storing others files and folders on the external hard drive along side the TIme Machine Backup folder. Everytime I added a folder or changed a foler name it asked for my password.
This has never happened to me before using any other OSX.
I apologize if this has been resolved before, I'm new to the communities and have yet to find a solution.

It is not a good idea to be storing other Stuff on your Time Machine drive. You may need an additional separate hard drive for those things.
Once you tell Time Machine to use a Drive, Time Machine owns the Drive. You (as a User) do not have permission to put things there. If you insist, it will do it, but wants your Admin password to do it.

Why is the program asking for a password to color a PDF. I changed the end to png and it was working and now quit

I was using PDF from a nonprofit i work for to color with PS Elements. It worked and then no longer allows me to drop files into PS Elements.
First I download the PDF's ....then I change the end from PDF TO .png and then drag and drop into PS Elements ....color .....
Then I put the files into DropBox and send them to iphoto to use in Doceri
FIrst the error message was about Parse
Now the message is that I need a password to use the program.
Friends all over the country can get this to work but it is NOT WORKING. I emptied and redownloaded dropbox.....not the problem.
We set up a dummy account and still could nto use.

PSE asks for a password when the file was password protected by whoever created it. You can't really expect decent results if you just change the extension of a file. A PDF is a very different animal than a png file and contains very different information, so it's not surprising your results are poor. That's the sort of thing you may get away with once in a while, but you can't expect to use it as a regular workflow.
Your whole procedure sounds extremely complicated for no particular good reason, at least as you describe it. It would be simpler to open the pdf in Preview and save a copy as a png if that's the format you need, but saving a pdf as anything other than a pdf will generally create a lousy looking file. I would just leave PSE out of the equation here, since you don't seem to be doing any editing with it.

Why is the finder asking for my password now in Mavericks?

Every time I want to delete a file, the Finder asks for my password to do this.
Anyone know how to I can turn this off?

What steps did you perform to install Mavericks?
It sounds like there's a permissions mismatch between your account and those files. If you ask the Finder to do a "get info" (File > Get Info), what do you see in the "Sharing & Permissions" section? Compare that will a file you just created.
There's a way to reset the permissions of your files while in "recovery mode" (boot with command-R held down), but I can't give you details.
