Adding Keywords boots me out to login screen

Here's an interesting one for you. So when I try to add a keyword to footage my screen turns blue and I am taken to the login screen. This happens if I use the short cut keyboard command or access keywords through the menu bar. I have to log back and start all over again. This ever happen to any of you guys? I'm scared...is my Mac gonna die???

Yep that worked! Fixed permissions and now I can add keywords safely! LoL! But now when I hit the space bar to play the video in my timeline it takes 20 seconds to play. If it's not one thing it's another!

  • Yosemite installed on iMac purchased with Mavericks now takes 2 minutes to boot and give the login screen.

    Downloaded and installed os x yosemite on iMac that was purchased originally with Mavericks. When power button is pressed I get start up audio tone and then the the black screen with the white apple symbol with the progression bar. The bar moves very slowly two about one third and then the mouse cursor appears and there it stalls for around two minutes. After the wait the login screen appears and it operates normally. This whole process before update would only take maybe 30 seconds. 
    If I try the web recovery process it will revert back to Mavericks any suggestions on what this might be. I do have an external Mac passport pro external drive that does have time machine enabled and has been there for months.
    Thanks

    After spending a number of hours with Apple Care personnel I was connected with a supervisor and finally got the iMac to boot up on every attempt and in a reasonable amount of time. Login screen now comes on in 30 to 40 seconds and computer is usable within a total time of 1 minute to 1minute 30 seconds.
    Here was the process. Tried to download whole operating system with reinstall from utilities menu at power on and at 7 hours progress bar stalled at one third the way. Reason, time machine external hard drive was still connected during process. Disconnected all external connections except power and tried download again. This time whole operating system downloaded in 15 to 20 minutes. Yosemite installed and rebooted automatically and booted to login screen, signed in then to desktop, but boot took around five minutes. Shutdown and connected all peripherals, i.e.. ext. HD, DVD, printers and tried to start. iMac stalled at 2 minutes into progression bar with white apple symbol before login screen. Removed peripherals and tried again and still stalled and would not boot.
    What was done to correct is as follows. Started iMac in Safe Mode, cleared all items in cache from Macintosh HD/Library folder and System /Library folder, system start up items, launch agents, and launch daemons contents cleared, removed printers in system preferences, ran disk utilities verify and repair of disk and disk permissions. Shutdown and removed power from iMac. With no peripherals system then booted normally. Reconnected peripherals while iMac was still on and added printers back to system preferences and all is well.
    So it seems only reasonable that the downloading problem was hindered by the time machine external hard drive, to which an Apple rep. agreed and the extremely slow boot up or stalled boot up was caused by items in the start up and launch folders. I will state here that I was using my ISP's anti virus software for the Mac which was in the launch folders and most likely was causing the boot up problems.

  • ?: Automatically logged out to login screen

    Hey everyone,  I'm currently having an issue with gnome.  My system boots fine up to the GDM.  When i log in everything seems to be going fine,  the desktop loads, but before the panels or anything else loads i am kicked out back to the GDM login screen.  I haven't experienced this before and am confused as to how to fix it from automatically logging me back out every time i try to log in.  If anyone has any suggestions or would like to see any logs just let me know and I will post the logs asked for.  I recently did a full system reinstall but I am very sure I didn't miss anything while reinstalling.  Any help would be great.
    Thanks

    MadTux wrote:So just to clarify things, did login work after you reinstalled your system? It could be a result of any programs automatically started for your user after login. So, you could create another user and try to login with that and see if you have the same problems.
    Hey madtux
        No the login didn't, I had switched to a different distro for a little bit just to try out another, but this time when switching back to arch this problem kept happening so I haven't been able to login successfully from gnome at all since re-installation.  It seems like it just logs me back out to the GDM login screen, and every time i type my password it will start to login but then just kick me out again.

  • I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full scree

    I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen

    I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
    As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.

  • Login screen appears on wrong monitor

    This problem started when I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite 10.10.2. It persists on 10.10.3
    I have two monitors; the main one is 26", the other is 17". Both are NEC. The main monitor connects with a DVI-to-Mini display port adapter. The 2nd with a VGA to DVI adapter. Video card is the stock AMD 5770 with one DVI two mini display port connectors.
    On startup, the Apple logo appears on my main monitor, as expected. Then the login screen comes up on the 2nd monitor. Once I'm logged in, the main monitor becomes the primary display again (according to my user account display preferences).
    I've checked all the preferences, reset the NVram and the SMC, and tried plugging the the main monitor into the other display port. Nothing changes this.
    It's not a big problem, but it's annoying.
    Any thoughts?

    You can change the arrangement of the displays, and assign a primary one in the Displays system preferences (done by dragging the menu bar to the preferred primary display). However, this will not change what display is identified first by your hardware. If you have FileVault enabled, then the login screen you see will be loaded before the operating system is loaded. This login screen simply mimics the OS X login screen, but is in fact stored elsewhere on your disk and used to unlock it. As a result, this login screen will be shown on the display that is identified as the primary one in hardware, and then when OS X loads this may switch depending on your settings in the Displays preferences. Your options here are to either move your monitors on your desk, swap their connections to your Mac, or adjust the primary one along with the arrangement of them in the Displays system preferences (or a combination of these three) to find a setup that works as you want.
    1. When you initially boot and see the login screen, note the connection of this monitor to your Mac. This port is the primary one.
    2. Connect this port to the display you want to be the primary one (to show your login window, etc.)
    3. Once booted to OS X, go to the displays system preferences and ensure the menu bar icon is dragged to this monitor so OS X identifies it as the primary one.
    4. Adjust your display's arrangement accordingly in these system preferences.

  • Startup login screen at low resolution

    -Cause: I connected the mac pro via mini dvi to a low resolution beamer
    Then I turned off the computer and now I'm stuck with this problem

    Thanks for the advise. I was about to follow your instructions. Then came along another advise which seems to be less risky.
    glad you fixed it but FYI resetting PRAM is NOT a risky operation. it's quite on par with just turning the computer off/on. it's an absolutely standard troubleshooting procedure which carries zero risk.
    That solved the problem
    However, I'm thankful for your effort in trying to help me. And I'll remember that the dvd-region setting will remain after a reset.

  • Customizing login screen

    Hi,
    When using Oracle Portal, can the login screen be customized?
    The level of customization I require include:
    - validating username/password against our own database tables
    - adding second factor authentication to the login screen
    How can it be done? Can I customize the default login screen? Or it's possible to create my own custom login screen?
    Thanks,
    Roy

    Yes, at this moment Oracle Portal is only supported with the SSO server in the Application Server.You can however integrate Oracle Access Manager (former Oblix) with the SSO server to get additional features :

  • Satelltie L855-s5155 freeze at login screen or was extremely slow - now need windows 8or 8.1

        I purchased this laptop about a year and half ago.  I have used it a total of 5 times.  It mainly remains in the laptop back int he closet. 
    Model L855-S5155
    Serial Number: XXXXXXXXX
        I turned it on last week and it booted up to the login screen.  I typed my password in and nothing happened.  The cursor was flashing in the password field but when I typed my password, the cursor moved two spaces and remained there for a couple of hours at which time I had to turn it off by holding the power button for 5 seconds.  I repeated this process several times.  At one time it took my password and the dots started going in circles to I guess load the live tiles.  I left that go for about 4 hours at which time I turned it off again.
        Upon turning it on I did get an error message on a bably blue screen that stated 'Windows was not shutdown properly' and it restarted.  At the Toshiba splash screen the dots going in a circle showing that something was loading so I left that go for about 6 hours while it remained still at that screen. 
        At one point I had gotten the maintenance screen upon boot up so I tried a system restore.  That didn't work.  Same issues.  Unfortunatley I hadn't made a restore / recovery disk which I guess being Toshiba that should have been my first task.   As I reviewed the boards I found that the system never shuts down and at the current situation I was in not being able to login to Windows I had to resort to removing the battery for a minute and restarting the laptop to get to certain areas. 
        I attmepted to reset the PC from the maintenance screen in hopes that would fix the problem.  I had upgraded from windows 8 to 8.1, but it was working after the upgrade so I didn't worry about it.  Unfortunatley that didn't work.  When it restarted it remained on the Toshiba slpash screen for 10 hours with the dots going around in a circle.  Knowing some processes take a little time, I have been leaving the laptop on for a while to make sure certain processes have time to finish but 10 hours to me might have been too long after a recovery.   Everytime I turn on the laptop the Toshibal splash screen would come up and the dots would go around in circles.  I left it go over night  one night to see if there was some process that needs longer to run, but no. 
        Being that I purchased my laptop with windows 8, I would like to have windows 8 on it.  Unfortunately I need to laptop for a project so I decided maybe I should put windows 7 on the computer just to get t running so upon restarting the laptop and getting the BIOS screen there was screen that came up that would delete all partitions.  I guess and HDD Recovery. Now that I have run that of course I have, what I think, may be a clean hard disk to start from.
        Something I did notice when I began to install windows 7 is that my 750 gb hard drive only shows 698 gb of free space.  Being that there aren't any disk maintenance tools to let me know if there are bad sectors due to a possibly bad hard disk or is the windows 8 image still hiding on there.  Doubtful if the partitions were removed.
        Can anyone tell me what happened?  Is there anyway to get windows 8 back onto the laptop without buying it again? Any assistance would be greatfully accepted.

    Many thanks

    nb: I fairly sure this started after doing a software update...

  • Login Screen Mouse Setting

    This is only a very minor annoyance, but when I boot Arch up, the login screen seemingly has a mouse with the default X appearance it looks like. How would I get it to kde4 oxygen style? I'm running kde4 as installed via pacman. Thanks for any help you may offer.

    Hi,
    what login manager are you using ? You probably only need to set the default xcursor to be the same as the one you use in kde. The following page in the wiki should help :

  • When I boot up it hangs on the login screen for awhile, why?

    I have a mid 2011 Macbook Air 13".  It came with Lion but I recently updated to Mountain Lion.  When I wake the laptop from sleep everything is fine.  If it's been awhile since it slept (a couple of hours), the login screen hangs.  What happens is that it boots like normal and looks like everything is correct, but it won't let me type in my password.  After 10 seconds or so I can see a cursor come up but it won't let me type (but anything I do type at this point will later fill in the field after another 2-3 seconds or so).  One other thing that's weird is that when the screen first comes up it shows the battery percentage from when I put it back on the charger, then after everything catches up, it changes to show 100%.
    I hope I explained the problem well enough.  Basicly a "wake from sleep" is fine if it hasn't been long since the laptop slept, but if it's been awhile it takes about 15-20 seconds to boot up.
    Ideas?

    Here are some suggestions based on my recent issue with unable to get Mavericks up after upgrade - The Apple geniuses just simply couldnt figure this one out...despite it being in their shop for 3 days (They probably did not look at it...and asked if they can just wipe out everything and install fresh...i had said NO):
    Restart computer and hold Cmd+V when you hear chime. This will start the computer in Verbose mode.
    See the messages and see where the system boot fails. In my case, it was some backtrace IOStorageFamily issue with com.paragon-software.
    Google may be able to solve your Apple issues - just type the error message in and see if you get any useful suggestions. in most cases - this would be some faulty 3rd party drivers.....
    In my case, it was something stupid i had probably installed....I had to boot to safe mode (Hold Shift at boot chime) - open Terminal, delete the folder com.paragon-software.kext from System/Library/Extensions....that fixed the problem. Mavericks is working great now....
    Let me know if your debugging thing works...

  • Is there a way to hide users from the FileVault 2 ''main boot'' login screen?

    After your entire disk is encrypted with FileVault 2, there is a now a ''main'' boot login screen with users displayed--after a full shutdown/restart--as opposed to a ''normal'' login screen when logging users in and out after booting into FileVault 2.
    If that made any sense...there was a way to hide users from the ''normal'' login screen before by running this Terminal command:
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow \ HiddenUsersList -array-add xxxx
    (xxxx being a short user's name)
    How do I do this now for the login screen that comes up on a full/shutdown restart?

    Not really, but you can move them from the home screen to, say, the 4th, or 10th screens. But you do need to have at least one app in every screen on the phone. My idea was to have several blanks before the screen with her apps, but the phone doesn't allow this.
    Sounds like time for the Iron Fist. ::grin:: Putting your foot down. Funny how those two descriptions don't quite match up. Our 5 year old son loves to use the iPhone, and with consistent training we have minimal trouble when he doesn't want to quit.
    Have a great trip. Joel.

  • Computer does not boot up to Login screen w/Safe Mode/Last Known Conf

    Hi, Microsoft Community
    I got a major issue with my PC... I left my PC running and suddenly had a memory dump and computer shuts down and after that it keeps reseting. It doesn't load up to the login screen only the windows loading after that it resets again and again.
    At first I thought its a RAM issue so I took out the 2 RAM sticks, changed them up plugged one in and so on. Still no go.
    I tried the following:
    Safe Mode
    Last Known Configuration
    Repair your computer
    Took out the Graphics Card
    Reseted BIOS (CMOS)
    I got 3 different BSOD Codes:
    0x0000007B (0xFFFFF880009A998, 0xFFFFFFFFC000000E, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000)
    BAD_POOL_HEADER
    0x00000019 (0x0000000000000020, 0xFFFFFA8004A3DEC0, 0xFFFFFA8004A3DED0, 0x00000000050146D0)
    BAD_POOL_CALLER
    0x000000C2 (0x0000000000000007, 0x000000000000109B, 0x00000000046417F0, 0xFFFFFA8004641800)
    I only got these BSOD when I've did "Disable automatic restart on system failure"
    I do not have a repair disk or windows disc since I lost them along with my other discs when building the PC.
    Please Help. Any help is grateful, Thank you! :(
    EDIT: Windows 7 Ultimate, 3.3GHz AMD Bulldozer, 8GB RAM, AMD 7770 GPU

    Hi,
    According to your description, the situation now is that you're unable to boot up the system and we're unable to get the dump file to make a further analysis. Did you get any other additional error messages when booting the system?
    System fails after several attempts, so you might need a external media to recovery the system, or do a reinstallation, you can also take the PC to the vender if it is under guarantee in case it might be related with some hardware issues.

  • OS Doen't Boot - Constant return to login and grey/blue screens

    Hi,
    I'm new to the forums and will look further to find resolutions to this thread, so excuse me if this has been discussed frequently already. 
    My Macbook OS X does not boot up after I successfully login.  It will only display the factory wallpaper, make sounds of loading up the system, flash a blue/gray screen, and then return me to the login screen. 
    I have tried booting via PRAM and inserting the OS X disc while holding down C during start up [and then continuing to open the system utility, follow First Aid instructinos / verifying + repairing the disk].  Disk utility/First Aid said that the hardrive appeared to be ok. 
    Still no luck booting up. 
    Can anyone help me out here?  Let me know if there is anymore information I can offer to help narrow down a diagnosis. 
    Thanks,
    J

    I would reinstall.
