After installing Mountain Lion, mac won't let me type password to log in.

I installed mountain lion about 6 days ago and whenever i startup my computer it is really slow. Then when i go to type in my password nothing will type and i cant use the trackpad either. To be able to log in, I have to sleep my imac and then retry and then usually it will let my type. It is also really slow when i am running more than 1 program at once. Any solutions?

Are you clicking the password field or just tapping? Tapping does not work in the login screen.

  • Mac pro won't wake up after installing Mountain Lion

    After installing Mountain Lion in my Mac Pro it won't wake up after long periods of sleep. I have tried unplugging it for 15 seconds and plugging it back in and starting it back up. No help. I've reset the Pram with no change.

    Two calls into tech support, but I think they may have helped me fix this.
    CHECK:
    \Library\LaunchAgents
    \Library\LaunchDaemons
    \Library\StartupItems
    remove any third party software and set aside.  (they told me I could keep some adobe, microsoft and HP items)
    THEN CHECK:
    System Preferences --> Users + Groups -->Login Items
    remove any third party stuff from in there.
    I'll know tomorrow morning if this REALLY works, but it dfefinitely allowed my computer to sleep and wakeup over a short period of time.

  • Numbers does not open with the main user after installing mountain lion. It works flawlessly when I use the second account on my mac. What got corrupted in the admin-account, something in the user-library? How can I fix it? I´m kinda desperate...

    Numbers does not open with the main user after installing mountain lion. It works flawlessly when I use the second account on my mac. What got corrupted in the admin-account, something in the user-library? How can I fix it? I´m kinda desperate... (the same happens with the other iWork-Apps!)
    Looking forward to hearing from somebody with a littlemore expertise than me, Chris

    you can remove preferences files by navigating to the Preferences folder for your user as follows:
    0) Quit ALL iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers)
    1) from the Finder select the menu item "Go > Go To Folder…".  This will bring up a dialog:
    2) enter the path "~/Library/Preferences" (no double quotes)
    3) find the files:
    com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
    and move these to the trash.  I would NOT empty until later.
    4) restart Numbers

  • Printer won't work after installing mountain lion?

    printer won't work after installing mountain lion?

    Assuming you've first checked Software Update to see if there are any updated drivers and it's still not working, you could try resetting the printing system.
    System Preferences>Print & Scan, Control+Click or Right Click on a printer on the left and select 'reset printing system'. All printers will be deleted and need to be added again.

  • My wifi is very slow after installing mountain lion on my Mac book pro

    My wifi is very very slow after installing mountain lion on my MacBook pro.
    What can I do?

    Ha  ha, I misread that as "My wife is very slow after installing mountain lion on my Mac book pro"
    BTW on my MBPro (late 2009 with max RAM) Mountain Lion runs very well with no slowing down.

  • Why won't iTunes 10.6.3 work after installing Mountain Lion?

    Why won't iTunes 10.6.3 work after installing Mountain Lion?

    Instead of downloading from Apple updates on my computer, I went to apple.com, loaded it from there and the update worked fine. 

  • After installing Mountain Lion my mouse won't scroll

    After installing Mountain Lion my mouse won't scroll up or down.  It will, on occasion, scroll left.

    Which mouse do you have? If it has a mechanical scroll ball on the top then it's simply dirty and needs cleaning. However if you are using Magic Mouse then please click iMac SMC and PRAM reset and do both resets 2x.

    Try a PRAM reset and an SMC reset.

  • After installing Mountain Lion, my Time Machine won't back up ... says the sparsebundle is in use

    After installing Mountain Lion, my Time Machine won't back up ... says the sparsebundle is in use

    Standard problem in ML.. apple do not seem to want to recognise.
    Reboot the TC .. if that fails restart the whole network in correct order.. modem.. router/TC... clients.. with 2min gap.
    There are other suggestions like changing the password.. all they do is the same as reboot.
    Read C12.. most quoted Q in pondini website history. This is asked 10 times a day.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    Here is another way to get a useful utility in ML.. rather than toyland version.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • Time Machine won't work after installing Mountain Lion

    After installing Mountain Lion, I am unable to restore a file from time machine. I click on the time machine icon. It shows the bakups, I click on a previous backup but the screen doesn't roll back to the date. It only shows the current files. Example: I am trying to restore an email that was lost. I try to do a restore and it shows emails up to today even though I am asking for a back-up from a month ago.
    Bob

    Sorry, but I'm still not sure what you're seeing.
    Are you starting from Mail, per the blue box in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15?
    Are you trying to restore emails from a mailbox in the "On My Mac" section?
    Do the older backups not appear in the TimeLine at all, or do they appear but are faded-out?
    Posting a screenshot might help.

  • Bluetooth inactive after installing mountain lion - your computer restarted because of a problem

    Good day
    I read up on forums, and I think my reboot error is due to my bluetooth that is inactive, which happened after installing Mountain Lion
    My Bluetooth worked before under Snow Leopard
    I have deleted the file under library to no avail
    I have rebooted with cmd option P R to no avail
    I have repaired permissions and this is the only message that pops up, and bluetooth still does not work after reboot.

    Please assist and I hope my thinking is correct that this is what is causing my restart error.

    I have been having the same problem for the past 2 days.I installed Mountain lion 5 days ago.There wasn't any problem for the first 3 days but after that my computer won't shut down,it always restarts when i ask it to shut down and i get the same message as dan1101.what is going on????

  • After installing Mountain Lion two drives on my network cannot be accessed.  I am using Parallels to utilize QuickBooks ERP.  The programs and data are on the drives that I can no longer access.  Suggestions?

    After installing Mountain Lion on my Mac Book Pro, I can no longer access two shared drives.  Diagostics cannot solve the problem.  I am using Parallels to run Qucikbooks ERP on these shared drives.  How do I get my Mac to see these drives and access them?

    Don't know what to tell you, but I also have an AEBS-Gen5 with a MBP Retina and Mac Mini using WiFi. Both are running Mountain Lion and I don't have any WiFi connection issues. Two iPhones in the household use WiFi with no issues along with a printer and 2 Windows 7 laptops.
    First thing I would try is to shutdown all computers connected to the AEBS. Then power off the AEBS and finally the cable/DSL modem. Then reverse the order and power on the cable modem, wait for all the lights to be solid, power on the AEBS, wait for the light to show solid green; then power up a computer that uses WiFi.
    If the above doesn't work, you might try repairing permissions via Disk Utility. If that doesn't help maybe a PRAM reset would work.

  • No video after installing Mountain Lion

    I have downloaded and installed Mountain Lion on my Mac Pro.  After the install and restart, my Mac Pro restarts however, I do not get a signal sent to my monitor.  I have attached different monitors and connected to both DVI ports with no luck.

    I just wanted to add to the conversation that this was EXACTLY what happened to me after installing Mountain Lion. All my contacts were gone. It showed the Groups on the side of the address book after one day but the contacts never showed up. I tried unchecking the box for the contacts in system preferences for the iCloud and then rechecking it again.  That didn't help either. Came across this remedy up above about taking the Address Book from the Application Support Folder and putting it in the trash. Viola! It worked. However, I would add that I had to go into the iCloud pane and check the address book box since it then became unchecked. Once I did that, they ALL loaded back up and now they are finally there.

  • Does anyone have an email client that is working with Mountain Lion? I'm giving up on Mail after installing Mountain Lion

    Hi
    I give up.  I just cannot see my exchange inbox in Mail after installing Mountain Lion.  My mail is not being deleted.  Its still in my inbox I just can't see it. I've tried everything suggested on the forums and nothing is working for me.
    My productivity has completely stalled and I really need to move to an email client that is going to work seamlessly with Mountain Lion. 
    Any recommendations?

    I have been having the SAME problem with ALL my Gmail accounts with Mail.app - It is very annoying, especially when you have clients and other important email to respond to.  So you're definitely NOT alone in this department.
    Might have to go back to Thunderbird or something until this gets fixed, which is going to really suck because I have 5000+ emails along with all my Email Folders in Mail not too mention the Rules I have had setup for years!
    AND with the RSS Feeds NOT working in BOTH Mail and Safari!  That was a HUGE MISTAKE and defintely a STEP BACKWARDS on whoever's idea that was for sure!
