Feb 27, 2013 12:11 AM in response to sanjampetby Sigma2020,This was useful sanjampet, many thanks! While digging round in my keychain and 'uncovering' my passwords, I found that the pwd for my AppleID listed in "keychains - Passwords" is NOT my current AppleID pwd!!!
I've changed this record (I guess it must be a record, not some sort of root file, otherwise I couldn't have accessed stuff protected by this pwd) to the right pwd; but I'd be interested if anyone online knows how this could have happened.

Mar 4, 2015 12:44 PM in response to sanjampetby jimmy5f,I went into the Keychain, and opened up the permissions so all applications could access everything. Two of the keys had no password, and would not allow a password ('identity-rsa-private-key', and 'identity-rsa-public-key'), and also 'Safari extensions list' had no password, and would not allow a password; meaning I could not make it show a password, or a password fill-in form would not come up. But, apparently this has not worked; I still get those annoying popups when my wifi jumps from LTE to 4G and back. This is on a Rogers wireless internet account; there is no cable out here. What else could I do with Permissions?

Jul 30, 2015 9:25 AM in response to christinefromjurien bayby SeamusMcShea,I had the same problem when trying to plug an Android device into my MBP (Running 10.10.3, currently). All I wanted to do was run Android File Transfer to get some files off the device but, even though I tried Cmd+W Several Times and even Cmd+Shft+Opt+Esc, the "NetworkSetup" window *kept* popping up. Then I got an idea for how to stop it without modifying any settings, preferences, etc. and it works - Here's how to stop it:
- Open up a Terminal window (Macintosh HD [or otherwise] > Applications > Utilities > Terminal, Or just Cmd+Space, type terminal, hit Enter)
- When the Login process is complete, enter top and hit enter.
- top is just a utility used to monitor system processes, their CPU consumption, etc. but in this situation, all you're looking for is the PID (Process ID Number) column because you're going to need to "kill" NetworkSetup.
- Once top is running, locate the command called NetworkSetup and it's respective PID.
- In my case, I had another process running called "MotoHelper" which I had to kill first before I could kill Network Setup, but I digress.
- In my case, I had another process running called "MotoHelper" which I had to kill first before I could kill Network Setup, but I digress.
- Now open up a new, separate window and enter the command: kill -9 [process id] but replace "process id" with the PID number (should be 4 digits) that you got from your top window next to NetworkSetup.
- Boom. Dead.
Should work. If you have any questions, I'm happy to help if at all able

Oct 17, 2015 12:21 PM in response to SeamusMcSheaby NotoriousWebmaster,Hi Sheamus:
Thanks for the idea to use top and kill. Sadly, my NetworkSetup keeps coming back, with a different PID each time.
I'm guessing there's some other process which keeps re-running it. Any idea how to find that?
Thanks again,
