Does anybody know if it's possible to hide your identity from any network administrators, etc., who could be watching your web page views and downloads on your browser? If so, how would I do it?
View 3 RepliesI have bought a new mac and transferred all the old data in. I do not want it to live in the old identity though, i want it to be in the new ID on the new computer. Is this possible?

So I see all these weird PCs in my Finder, and I wish to not see them at all. I only want to see the Macs. Is there a way to hide PC network shares?

I've tried resetting Safari, cleaning history/cookies, etc.
Anytime I open the preferences in Mail and click on the "accounts" button, Mail prompts me with the "Mail can't verify the identity of Account" window and asks me to verify the certificate. This wouldn't be a problem, except I deleted the account months ago since I let my domain and account expire. I even opened my keychain and deleted all instances of the domain login details and certificates, and yet it still pops up in Mail. What gives?

WIth using 2 desktop iMacs, we are both getting messages that 'Safari can't verify the identity of the website' or we get a message that the website cannot be found. Earlier today it could not find Apple Support Discussions. It does open some pages, but slowly. We use Airport Express, in between the iMacs, and have not had this problem before. I read on another site that I can power down the router.
What will happen if I unplug the Airport Express? Do I loose my settings? Also, what causes this issue? It appears that other Mac users are reporting it now too. If unplugging is an answer, is there any specific order? Also, is there a way to turn off AIrport Express first, and should I do that?

I have Office 2008 Home and Student installed on my MBP. I recently upgraded to a hosted Exchange solution and they offer a download of Entourage 2008 that will allow Exchange Server interaction. When I loaded that version over top of my install, Entourage will not open. It gives me an error about the identity not being able to open the item.
Oftentimes when I visit credible websites I get the following dropdown message: "Safari can't verify the identity of the website [URL]"." I've had my MacBook Pro for over four years and the problem just started last week. I am running OS X (10.5.8).

I installed 10.6.3 on my 250GB USB drive - no problem.
But I can't log in as the administer.
I changed the password in the System acc.,
reset it on the installation disc, and still no go.
Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?
BTW,I'm using 10.4.11 now.
After upgrading (and having the install fail once, and then have the new mac version of blue screen of death) I have now noticed that the admin privileges on my account are now gone.I cant authenticate anything and my account is listed as "Standard" in the preferences pane.I came home from Florida last night and left the install disc in my dorm. Any way to do this without using the Password Reset on the dvd? Regardless, I dont think it would help, since there isnt even an admin account listed.

View 20 Replies View RelatedWhenever I download applications, I always hope to get just the application so I can drag it to the desktop and not have to install it to applications. But whenever I download a .mpgk file, which opens in installer, I have to install it to applications, so i need to have an administrator password. (specifically I'm trying to install mono or the C# plugin for Xcode). Is there any way to change the install destination ON macintosh HD, and move it to my user desktop?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI was trying to change a file entry in the system files. After making the changes I clicked on "save" and was then told that I do not have the permission to write to this file. I checked the "get info" to this file and saw I can only read this file. I am however the administrator so why can I not make changes?
This is what I was trying to do:
Getting rid of Tynt in OSX
Mac OS/X
In Finder, from the Go menu, choose "Go to folder."
In the "Go to the folder" dialog, type "/etc/".
From the /etc/ folder window, open the "hosts" file in a text editor.
Add the following to the hosts file in its own line, using the site that applies to you:
127.0.0.1 tcr.tynt.com
Save and quit.
At this point I was told that my changes could not be saved as I have no rights.
In System Accounts I am set as the administrator. I am on automatic Login. I was asked for my password in order to save my settings in the text editor which I entered but was then again told that I do not have the permission. The "get info" on the host file shows me as read only. How can I change this?
I have no administrator accounts on my imac! After upgrading to leopard, everything changed to standard accounts, even my root user. I tried to do what the apple website said, and change passwords and check off the "allow user to administer" box, but when i log out of root user and back into my main account, the box is not checked off. Nor when logged in as the root user will it let me to lock the settings to make sure it goes through.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have tried to connect my PowerBook G4, OS X version 10.4.11 (Tiger) to my wife’s Mac Book (Intel) OS X version 10.6.8 with an Ethnet cable. I go to Network and change Location to Automatic and Show to Built-in Ethernet, I then open Sharing preferences on both computers and turn on Personal File Sharing. On the PowerBook I realize it does not have a Computer Name. Click the Lock logo to add a name. Authenticate window opens and I enter my Name and Password (definitely correct), but I keep getting message: “You must type an administrator’s name and password to make changes to System Preferences. Please try again.” Try several times, with no luck. Disconnect Ethnet connection and try again, no different. Shut Down and Restart Computer and still will not verify.
Why would Administrator’s Window stop excepting correct Name and Password?

I just bought a used Emac running 10.3.9. The previous owner does not remember the administrator password nor did I realize how important it is to have. I have the original install discs and did boot using the disc. I then went under the install menu and chose reset password. I changed the user password but have been unsuccessful at changing the admin password. The drop down menu in password reset gave me the option of Administrator (root), Application, or finally user. I have read a couple of articles cautioning not to change or work with root changes.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe had a HDD fail on one of our office Mac laptops (a power pc G4). Apple repaired it and I restored all files etc from a backup. I was the administrator during the restore. Before I could get back, the user changed that account to a standard account and changed the name. Now there is no way to change the account back, because there is no admin to authenticate the change. Anything I can do? I am not an advanced computer/Mac person.
View 2 Replies View RelatedA week ago, my computer (Macbook) "crashed". When I powered it up, it would go to the grey apple screen, then it would go to a blue screen, then it would switch to a light blue screen, then back to the darker blue screen, etc and never fully boot into OSX. I finally found my install discs for OSX and reinstalled my operating system from scratch, formatted my hard drive, and started new. Once I reinstalled, I realized how outdated and different everything looked... and I realized I was running OSX 10.4. So from there, I found my Leopard disc (10.5), put that in, and "Upgraded" my system to 10.5.
And basically here's where I'm at now:........................
After upgrading to Leopard, when I try to install or update any program on my computer it asks for the Administrator username and password. Well that should not be a problem seeing as how I am the administrator and so I type in my name and my password and it says "you must type an administrator's name and password to make changes to software update." So I went to system settings and checked and it no longer has my account as the administrator and I can't make any changes because I am not the administrator no more. After installing Leopard, this has happened. What should I do? (I am fairly new to Macs, I have had my Macbook about 3 months.) I also noticed that my Macbook (when I shut it) has started to wake itself up from sleep mode and stay that way while it's still closed.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been reading the documentation and googling but I haven't found a way of getting Parallels to start XP and log in with anything other than Administrator. I created a proper account in XP with admin rights which I was intending to use for the three or four applications I still need Windows for. However, when starting the VM I have to immediately log out and log back in with this username, which is getting annoying. I suppose I could just use Administrator for the apps, but I'd rather have a proper named user account. Anyone know if it's possible to configure the VM in some way so it uses a different username in XP?
