OS X V10.7 Lion :: Polish Letters In WPA Password – How To Type Them

May 30, 2012

I recently went on a trip to Poland with my Macbook air (OS 10.7.3). As I tried to connect to a wifi network, I found out that its WPA password included a Polish letter (ł), which I couldn’t type in any way. I tried setting Polish as system language, copying and pasting from Word, using both the character and keyboard viewer, but with no results.

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

OS X V10.7 Lion :: 10.7.4 Cannot Change Or Reset My Password

May 16, 2012

I initially tried the normal System Preferences/ Users and Groups approach, unlocked the window, entered my existing password, entered my new password twice...got this...obviously I have edited the image to remove my name...

Recovery mode using Lion results in a very similar message, a box pops up, etc. No go .So I try to reset the Admin password to have a new Admin login which results in the "starting a new machine" screens, etc., so I can then change MY password, etc using this... Boot single user and enter  rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone But the system reports it cannot find the file or directory. So I login as Administrator (I have this password) and using the GUI, the option to change MY password is not showing. So I login as root (I also have this password) and using the GUI, again, there is no option to change MY password. As I upgraded/App Store via the network I do not have a disk to boot from.I do have Time Machine backups, so the notion of restoring Apps and personal files and folders after a complete reinstall is not that hideous, though I have better things to do like most of you. But really, isn't there a way for me to change my password using the GUI?

Info:MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.7.4), cannot change my password, ever

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Unexpected Forced Password Change On Mac User Accounts

May 28, 2012

Recently all the Mac's in my household forced a password change for both of the user accounts that I have on them. These are local accounts not domain accounts. It appears that something has expired the password on all my machines at around the same date. I do not or at least did not have a password policy set on these machines prior to this incident. I have searched the release notes for recent OS X updates and have not found any reference that explains this behavior. Hence, I am concerned that this could be malware/trojan activity however none of the scanners I have tried has detected any malware.

OS X :: Type Administrator Name And Password To Make Changes

Nov 17, 2007

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.

OS X :: How To Change MIME-type Association

Mar 9, 2008

I'd like to change some MIME-type associations, i.e. which program opens which file type. So far I have only found out how to change this setting for a single file (e.g. opening a wmv file with VLC instead of Quicktime via "Open with" ) but I've yet to find the place where I can change this setting globally.

ITunes :: Can't Change The Media Type

Apr 15, 2012

I just recently bought my first MBP and I have been busy transferring all my files from my Vaio to my MBP. I convert all my dvds to digital format and keep them on an external HDD (LaCie 1TB HDD) and was adding them to my iTunes on my MBP. I came across a problem trying to change the media kind for some of the videos. 

I have several shows on my HDD (anime, Dexter, Walking Dead, etc.) but when I go to change the media kind to TV Show, it doesn't let me. The info on the folder says my MBP has "Read only" permission. How can I change this so I can read and write the files for my MBP? This is about the only snag I've come across trying to set up my MBP similar to my Vaio.

Software :: Start Up / Restart / Log In - Type Password?

Nov 4, 2008

I don't know what I did. but I have any item in Keychain access named system I can unlock with my administrator Password from within Keychain Access. It doesn't show up on the Keychain Access item in menu bar. And I get message along the lines of. OSX requires you type password (which happens to be same as administrator password). there are only three items in it. a Dashboard advisory certificate, and the names of two airport Router items I have listed and each password for them

G4-500 1.5GB memory
OSX.4.11 on 80GB WD drive set as Slave.
120gb Main drive set as Master with slave using OSX.3.9.11
There appears no way to set preference for this system Key Chain to automatically open. suggestions? I think I also have a complete and Total melt down of the key chain system on my X.3.9 Drive Because I can't get keychain, accounts, Installer, Stickies, and Pacifist to open. There may be other but applications such as word, Acrobat, and all web browsers an mail/news client I have work fine. I deal with that issue after I get this fixed.

OS X :: To Change Application Icons - Image Type

Aug 1, 2010

After applying an image to be an application's icon, the image does not appear but instead the image of Preview appears with the image's type (for example jpeg) on it. I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong, other than possibly using the wrong image type. Is there a proper image type to use (I've tried pretty much every type but none of them seem to work), or do you have to change icons from somewhere other than 'get info'?
