Upgrade to OS 10.5 from 10.4.11 - Login Issues?

I just upgraded my 1 GHz iMac G3 from 10.4.11 to 10.5 with no problems...until the system rebooted and presented me with a login screen.  None of my previous identities work - and only an "Other" identity is present.  I have NO idea the login/password combination to use.  Any and all help is appreciated!!
Bill

Hi Bill,
Is it a G4? I don't think G3s can run 10.5
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Change Password from the Installer menu up at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Change Password.*
More if that doesn't work...

  • Hi, I have an iphone 3GS from HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out! When I checked my backup file in Outlook Express it was also wiped out!!! What can I do now?

    Hi, I have an iphone 3GS purchased in HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out. When I checked my backed up file in Outlook Express, it was also wiped out during the synchronization. I tried to restore from backup on iTunes but still, the contact was not there anymore. I have contacted your HK Apple Hotline and talked to a technical support called TIMMY LO, he said there is nothing to do with them and he refused to provide any support to recover my contact, he even said I should try to pay extra money to 3rd party supplier and see what they can do to my iphone, despite the fact that this could be caused by the pre-mature release of 4.3.3 when a bug still hasn't been fixed. I am very disappointed at Apple's service, especially considering that I have been a loyal customer of iphone / ipod touch in the past few years. I need an official reply from Apple on this! How can Apple be so irresponsible to their own firmware failure??

    Install more RAM in the computer; the Mac needs to have at least 2GB of RAM and should have 4GB or more first.

    1. in physical connections part can i use the same work schema
    2. Can i use same contexts created or do i need to create everything as new and then try?
    Thanks,
    Rp.
    Hi,
    As you mentioned that you just upgraded the database, so the data is same and schema is same you can connect with the same work schema.
    Yes, you can use the same contexts , but need to do Reverse Engineering for your new database.
    And about data server, i think you also have no need to create new data server, if hostname,sid and port etc are same as these were with R11(consult with your DBAs regarding it)

  • Upgrading to LR 3.2 from 2.6 - Should I use the LR 3 box?

    As I intend to upgrade to Lightroom 3.2 from 2.6, I wonder if I should use the upgrade box or donload a trial version and insert the key to be found in that box.
    There was a thread lelated to migration from LR 1.4 to 2.2 ( http://forums.adobe.com/message/1394503#1394503 ) that strongly suggested passing over 2.0
    What is best?

    It doesn't matter. The results are the same. Lightroom 3.2 is Lightroom 3.2 whether you download it or buy the box.

    I agree ... skip 2.0, although this seems irrelevant to your title and first paragraph.

  • X220: Cant Upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

    Hi all,
    I cant seem to upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 on my X220.
    Originally during the install it states "This application wasn't installed - view details".
    Then it states "Something happened and Windows 8.1 couldn't be installed. Please try again. Error code 0xc0000005"
    Then it states "Something happened and Windows 8.1 couldn't be installed. Please try again. Error code 0x80246007"'
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Rambler

    Hi,
    According to your description, Windows 8 Operating System installed on your computer, right?
    Did you update to Windows 8.1 via Windows Store?
    If yes, follow Cyber_Defend_Team's suggestion, check if your computer meet the prerequisite.
    After that, try to install Windows 8.1 for test.
    If the issue persists, according to this blog to troubleshoot:
    Something happened and the install of Windows 8.1 can't be completed. (And now you're annoyed)

  • Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty.

    Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty. It now has a blank bar under the launch pad and no matter how many times I try re-downloading it or restarting my computer it does not work. I use too play starcraft and other games on this computer although new patched/updates have made it that I can no longer do that now. Really frustrating having to deal with this especially after buying this computer upfront and now out of warranty.

    Go to your Applications folder and find a file called "Install OS X Mavericks".  Send it to the trash and delete it.  Then try the download again.

  • Step-by-step guide to upgrading a MacBook Core Duo from 802.11g to 802.11n.

    Hardmac.com has post a step-by-step guide on how to upgrading a MacBook Core Duo from 802.11g to 802.11n using an 802.11n card from the Mac Pro desktop. The upgrade was also tested and confirmed to work with the AirPort Extreme 802.11n at 802.11n speed.
    There is no reason that a similar upgrade shouldn't also work with the MacBook Pro.

    Interesting how the Apple 802.11n Enabler installed on the MacBook with no problems using the CD that comes with the AirPort Express.
    I must try that.
