Why is preview asking me for an owner password when I want to save a PDF document to my computer?

Every time I have a PDF document opened in preview and want to save it to my computer I'm asked for an owner password.  However, my computer password does not work.  These are not documents sent from some crazy source...I've sent them to myself from an online contract site for my business.  I'm so frustrated!!  Please help!
Thanks!

You shold post exactly what the message is.
It is possible that the documents are protected against modification. Open one of the documents in Preview, Tools > Show Inspector (if it's not already displayed). In the Inspector window, go to the Encryption tab. What does it say under Permissions?

  • I recently loaded Mac OS X Snow Leopard and now cant save PDF files It ask me for my Owners password. Cant remember it

    I recently Loaded Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on my MacBook. Now I cant print or save PDF files. I am asked for my "Owners Password" I bought this mac new, 3 years ago and dont remember my Owners password only my admin. How can I fix this?
    Please Advise

    That is your admin password. You might try this:
    To fix Home folder permissions
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder.  At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    Press RETURN.  You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.
    I would also do this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    And, consider downloading either Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update Combo or Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo and updating the system, but only after doing the above suggestions.

  • Why am I asked everytime to enter a password when I send an email?

    I go to write a new email and when I go to send it it asks for my password. I do not have to enter it everytime just the first email of the day I send. This is the same password for getting my emails and I do not have to enter that password.

    The server that you receive email from is either a POP or IMAP server. It will prompt for a password to use its services. The server used to send is an SMTP server. It will also ask for a password. If you do not want to be bothered to enter the password yourself, click the check box in the password dialog box for Thunderbird to remember your password.
    Thunderbird does not ask for an email password. It just passes the server request on to you.

  • When I want to open a PDF document The box that pops up asking if I want to open or save does not come up and it always saves. I need this changed.

    When the window opens to ask if I want to save or not comes up it does so for WORD documents just fine, however, for PDF documents it never asks (it used to). Now it just automatically saves them without asking. I need this changed. I went into applications and changed the setting to always ask but it still is just saving, them no window pops up asking what I want firefox to do with the file like it does with a WORD document. IF I cannot get this resolved I will not be able to continue using firefox. I teach and I have students submitting articles etc in pdf format, I cannot constantly save all pdf files. I just want to open them, review them and then move on. There must be a way to change this so that the window asking what I want firfox to do with the pdf files opens.
    thank you,
    kkwright

    Deleted it, restarted it. tried it again. no change. repeated the whole cycle. no change. thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling, but that won't reallyk change the settings.

  • Why is it asking me for credit card info when I create an account?

    I used a prepaid credit card on my account because I'm only 16 and don't have my own real credit card. This apparently screws it up, so now I can't use that account. I want to make another account, but now it's telling me that credit card information is required to create an account.

    For a standard acccount you need a CC.
    You can however set up a NEW account f w/o a credit card by following these instructions:
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

  • HT1620 Why is it asking me for a pass code and I didn't set one?

    Why is it asking me for a pass code and I didn't set one up. This never happen before when I updated to the most recent IOS on my Ipad2?

    It is most likely asking for your Apple ID password, but that is just a guess.
    Then again as KarenSelena says if someone set a passcode without actually telling you (maybe a Settings -> General -> Restrictions passcode), that might be why you are getting a passcode request.

  • Firefox is asking for an administrator password when none exists. I can't install. WHY

    I am trying to install firefox. I've used explorer, chrome, opera. None of them are working. It keeps asking me for an administrator password. My account on my computer is an administrator but I don't have a password. I even went and created one and it still says bad login information. I tried to download from the stub, I tried to download from the full version. I'm about ready to give up but I really like firefox. I'm on windows 7

    Download and save the full Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon.
    You can find the full version of the current Firefox 26.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
    *http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    You probably need that password to set up the Mozilla Maintenance Service to male it possible to install updates in the background.
