OS X keeps asking mine account password at login

I have a problem. After starting up mine Mac it seems that I can't login anymore. It keeps asking for mine account password.
I'm sure that I enter mine password correctly. The shaking effect when entering a password does not appear. After entering mine account password the login window will disappear and the screen is just blue. After 15 seconds the login window will appear again.
I've already booted from the Leopard CD and reset mine password. It does not work. It just give me the same effect. Safe boot mode can also not login.
Any other ideas? The only thing I've did was installing the Office 2008 SP1 update.

I had the same problem recently. I have 2 accounts on our mac (mine and my wife's) and earlier this week I could no longer log on to mine. I kept being returned to the logon screen after entering my password. I could logon to my wife's account though.
I did an archive installation preserving user accounts and that fixed the logon problem. However, my home folder was still corrupted so final solution after reinstall was to delete my user account, then create a new one with the same name and restore my files from Time Machine.
A lot of mucking around, but all appears to be OK now.

    Apps are permanently tied to the AppleID that downloaded them and cannot be transferred to another.  Best thing to do is delete the apps and download those you want or need under your AppleID.

  • Just uploaded latest ios6 to ipad and iphone 4gs and the hotmail account keeps asking for a password then telling me it is invalid.  Any ideas?

    Just uploaded latest ios to my ipad2 and iphone 4s and my hotmail account keeps asking for my password. When i input it, it tells me its wrong. Hotmail was working fine till ios upgrade. Any ideas? I have deleted account username and password and reinput but no difference

    Try deleting the yahoo email account, and then recreate the account so you are sure all the information is now correct.  I have had email information get corrupted for unknown reasons and found just removing and recreating the account to resolve the issues most of the time.
    Check the ports, incoming and outgoing, on your iDevices to be sure the same are used on the iMac.

    Ditto. Guest accounts shouldn't have a password. No way to enter one in System Prefs...

  • I changed my email address for my Apple ID but my phone doesn't recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email

    I changed my email address for my Apple ID. When I want to use iCloud my iPhone doesn't seem to recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email. I can't update the new address it keeps defaulting to my old one.

    Hello TirEoghain,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    First I would like you to try the instructions below to sign out of your iCloud account, and then sign in with your new Apple ID.
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud

    Take care,

  • Why does iTunes keep asking for my password when I want to listen to my music on my iPhone?

    When I want to listen to music on my iPhone, iTunes keeps asking for my password.  I am not purchasing anything.  It started today.  Why is that?

    I've been having the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. I talked to Apple customer service this morning. They had me do the following on both devices in the Settings:
    * Sign out of iTunes & App Store
    * Sign out of FaceTime
    * Sign out of Game Center
    * Delete iCloud account
    They also had me restore my iPad due to some glitchy behavior in the Music app.
    Things seemed to me fixed for a few hours until I went into the iTunes Store app on my iPad and added a movie to my Wish List. When I went back to the Music app, the dreaded "Sign In to iTunes Store" popup started showing up again on both devices. Suspicious!
    So, I cleared out my Wish List in both the iTunes Store and App Store. I've been poking at the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad since then I haven't seen that popup once since then. I'm not going to declare victory yet since it's only been an hour or two, but I thought that this was worth mentioning.

  • Keeps asking for my password sometimes takes it sometimes doesn't

    I very much appreciate your help and expertise --- Thunderbird keeps asking for my password. I use it for both a non gmail account and a gmail account. Both accounts have repeatedly asked for the password... however the gmail account seems to work better than the other one.
    It doesn't matter if I click the box that says save this password or not.
    I had yesterday reset the password once on the server side of things and thought that had fixed it... but then again today I started getting the same error message that it cannot login to my server.
    I looked through your help boards and cannot find a solution that I understand. There are a couple that seem like they may work but the things they are naming to reset are things I don't even know what they are... Sorry I'm not very techno savvy --

    Delete the password stored in Tools/Options/Security/Passwords/Saved Passwords, OK, restart TB, and enter the correct password when you're prompted at the next network connection.

  • HT204053 how come i was upgraded iso6 on my iPhone, but now I couldn't link up to iCloud, it keeps asking my icloud password then failed login. But my iPad upgraded it works!! how to solve my iPhone using iCloud?

    how come i was upgraded iso6 on my iPhone, but now I couldn't link up to iCloud, it keeps asking my icloud password then failed login. But my iPad upgraded it works!! how to solve my iPhone using iCloud?

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • TS3297 Redeem Code page keeps asking for iTunes password

    Windows 8. I've bought one movie, but on the second try, the Code redemption keeps asking for my password.
    Thanks for your advice.

    Me too.
    It is asking me for my iTunes password too often.
    I would be okay with it _if it was just for when I hit UPDATE for an application, or buy a new one_... but it seems like it's constantly asking for my iTunes password.
    +I'm not worried about somebody ringing up a bill, If my phone is lost, I can just call Apple and have them remote wipe the phone and adjust my account.+

  • Keychain keeps asking for my password

    Hi,
    I downloaded a twitter application Natsulion, and keychain access keeps asking for my password. I tried looking in keychain access application for where the password is stored but I don't see it in there. I tried doing keychain first aid but that didn't fix the problem.
    I'm having this problem in other applications too.
    Thanks in advance,
    Pete

  • My mac keeps asking for a password when I try to install adobe flash player and even with the hint I

    My mac keeps asking for a password when I try to install adobe flash player. Even with the hint I'm not getting it and also tried uninstall and the same thing occurred.

    It's referring to the MAC password that you have setup.
    A software prompts for a password only when there are restrictions set on the user account for unauthorised access to system files and folders.

  • Why is my iphone4 not letting me delete my pics from my gallery ? InsteAd it keeps asking for a password, what would that password be cause I don't recall ever setting it up to have to use a password to delete pics

    Sounds like you encrypted your iPhone backup, & if so it's asking for the encrypted backup password. Do you have a company Exchange account on your phone?

  • Cant receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when I respond same message- password

    Suddenly can't receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when i
    put it in,same message flashes up, reset does not work, also waiting for apple time lapse, still does not want to give me my yahoo mail on this format, tried talking to apple online contact, cut off, I'm receiving through safari, nothing through my email app

    Give it time. Yahoo has been doing things to their servers that often muck up the Mail app. Usually it takes 24-48 hours to run its course then it'll work again.
    if it doesn't clear up by the end of the weekend, you can remove and readd your account, but chances are it'll just start to work.
