Hi Justin. I did try that; I entered my system password and it still came back as wrong. GRRRRR! On Jan 14, 2011, at 10:56 PM, Justin Ekis wrote:
Hi, To me, A prompt to "enter your name and password to allow changes" sounds more like a system dialog asking for the password to your account on your mac, rather than your dropbox password. It asks for your system password the first time you run it so that it can intigrate with the finder. After you enter it, this dialog won't come up anymore. As for stopping it from running, I had to do this once in order to install a new version of dropbox. There is a dropbox icon in the status menus that you have to select in order to exit the program. Voiceover can't see status menu icons for third party applications, so I had to have sighted assistance to do this. Someone posted a hint a while back though about how you can find this icon yourself. I seem to have lost my bookmark for the list archives at the moment. I must have deleted the wrong bookmark. Sorry I couldn't be any more help, but getting past this password dialog might be enough to solve your problem. On Jan 14, 2011, at 10:34 PM, Marlaina Lieberg wrote: Hi all. Drop box seems to be precluding me from installing the firmware update for my newly acquired jambox. Each time I boot up, drop box comes up and says to enter my name and password to allow changes. I do this and get a message telling me that I have entered the wrong user name or passwod, yet when I go to dropbox.com and enter that very self same info, I am logged on to my account. So my nedxt step was, I thought, to uninstall dropbox. I went to the apps folder and located drop box and did command delete only to get a message telling me that drop box can't be sent to the trash because it is open. Of course, I don't see it anywhere. I cycled through open apps with command tab and open windows with command accent; drop box does not appear anywhere. How do I close this darned thing so that I can uninstall it temporarily? I also navigated to it in the apps folder and did a vo shift m, and then a vo m as well and still nothing; both these actions brought up the menu bar for finder. If I do a command o on drop box from the apps folder, nothing happens. I am beginning to regret the day I ever installed drop box. I'm not asking for opinions about the app, just asking for help right now to uninstall it. So I guess the question is, how do you uninstall an app you can't see is running? Thanks for the help.
