After logging out, can't log back in without restart.

My Mac Pro just made a strange error. After waking it from sleep, I logged out of one account, & tried to log in to another. The Mac rejected the password! I tried the other 2 accounts, and both also rejected their passwords. Each password field had a little gray upward-pointing arrow graphic at the right end, which I have never seen before. I tried each account again, to make sure, and all passwords were rejected. Finally, I restarted, and everything was back to normal. This does not give me a feeling of confidence in my Mac. Why would this happen?

The grey upward arrow is the symbol for the shift key. You've got the Cap Locks key set.

    evertime i try to log in creative cloud it keeps saying im logged out when i log in. but im not logged in

    You will need to go to the folder where the database is stored on your computer (location is dependent on Mac or Windows system) and either delete two folders or rename them.
    I am on a windows 7 computer so your file locations may be a bit different than mine especially if you are on a mac.
    Close the manager. {this requires right clicking on the manager's icon in the taskbar} (Clicking the X in the upper right hand corner does not shut down the program, it only hides it)
    In windows Explorer go to the following folder location: C:\Users\{Name goes here}\AppData\Local\Adobe
    Find the folders - 
    AAMUpdater
    OOBE
    Rename them
    AAMUpdater.old
    OOBE.old
    Start the manager, type in your username and password then OK the license agreement.
    At this point you should be ready to go.

  • HOW can I FIX Mavericks and Safari 7.0 to allow Gmail to work?  Gmail has been FUBAR'd since downloading Mavericks today.  Finally found the brute-force logout site to just getr logged out; can't keep doing that.  Other features no longer work, either.

    Made big mistake of downloading Mavericks today.
    Been struggling with all the FUBARd messes it caused, ALL DAY.
    Google basic buttons don't work--can't log out or other basic functions.
    Website use is impaired.
    It took almost 3 hours to do a basic online order on one of them--at this rate, I'll be out of business soon, and it's seriously impairing Christmas preparations!
    Google Voice/Video are screwed up, had to RE-download their voice/video plugin all over again--again.
    Voice/video quality is REALLY poor.
    Lag times in so many things are bad.
    Thought this would download WITH the better writing/bookkeeping programs--NOT!
    Mac Maps is piddle compaired with GoogleMaps.
    The Email program on the desktop is REALLY hard to use, has few useful functions.  It's MAYbe good if one only has ONE email; using it with severeal various email accounts is a serious liability in many ways--like filing, sorting, marking, etc.; no clear way to move email files to an external drive to save, to unload the HD.
    HOW can Safari and Mavericks be fixed?
    IF not, HOW can I REMOVE Mavericks and get back to Mountain Lion--which was not too great, but certainly more functional than Mavericks!
    I NEED my web-based emails to work--NOW...NOT when Mac finally gets around to fixing things sometime later.
    I NEED online ordering to work--NOW--not later when Mac finally gets around to fixing things.
    PLEASE someone--any help out there?  I couldn't even find but a rare hint that Safari 7.0 even exists--much less that anyone admits it's got problems, nor fixes for it.
    What to do?  Throw the whole unit out? Wipe and reboot?  Dumb it back to OS 10? HOW? WHAT?
    [freaking out here...]

    Zak Adelman, LexSchellings,
    It's a shiney new computer.  Came loaded with Mountain Lion.
    Too busy learning to use the blessed thing, to download anything....except...
    The only pluggin that had to be loaded, was Google Voice-Video pluggin, while Lion was still it's OS.  [AND been using the Safari that came already in it.]   Had to do that a couple times--nothing new there--that plug-in had to be re-loaded when using a PC, too--THAT happened even before Google slammed everyone into coerced use of it's Google+. 
        [I understood from others, that Firefox won't work in Mac units--or I woulda put that in it to see if that solved anything]
    This unit seemed a bit sluggish from the git-go, out-of-the-box. 
    I figured that was probly the local DSL here---rural DSL is...um...our DSL's not something to brag about, but it's the best we can do...
    The difference between speed of loading pages, etc. on the new Mac, was --not-- toooo terribly different--though yes, slower on Mac....and chalked it up to my inexperience with Mac. 
    Been trying to get things up and running for a bit over a month now.
    NOT doing very well at it--just barely getting by; rapidly falling behind what needs done [work]. 
    Google worked just --OK-- when OS was Lion, as did the Google voice/video--slower, and voice-video was kinda scratchy or glitchy, but worked enough to --get by--.
    Loading Mavericks, ruined that.  
    VOIP calls via Google talk have bad echio, static, cut-outs; video calling was pixilated or not working; WAS cued to re-load it's Voice-Video plug-in....which seemed to help a bit, though not very well; it only helped the Voice-Video some, not all--figured that was probably Google issues, less than Mac's, since Google has been increasingly dysfunctional as they have twisted it to be a social media-dominant thing.
    [[now seeking an email venue that does what Gmail was good at, including the Voice-video calling, that has no intention of turning itself inside out to be "social"]]
    Can't sign out of Gmail or Google+, nor use buttons in upper right corner with the drop-down menu.  
    NO buttons in upper right corner cluster on Gmail work, except the name+ button to toggle over to Google+---which I don't need! [yeah--THAT's a Google problem!] 
    Can only switch to HTML version by catching that button as the account signs in--if one fails to be fast enough with their fingers, it goes to Google+; can't get to email unless type in mail.google.com.
    Managed to catch that button today, and clicked to use HTML "permanently" until these issues get solved.
    ALSO:
    Have fairly new [about 1 year?] HP bluetooth printer-scanner. 
    BUT, after Mavericks loaded: it HAS the unit listed, HAS drivers for it, HP unit IS listed as default printer, everything --seems-- "go",
    .....except Mac keeps posting it's out of ink, and/or, not hooked up, and/or not turned on--even when it is on.
    It's SUPPOSED to be blue-toothing that printer/scanner.   
    It did it for Lion, before loading Mavericks, even though it was troublesome to get it to work, it at least HAD printed one document when Lion was the OS.  
    Thank you...Downloaded EtreCheck: 
    BTW:  Trying to copy/paste data from that check list, to this post, was achaic: 
    had to use Edit, select all, then use edit again to get it pasted--the mouse buttons weren't allowed to copy-paste using right-click functions [is this a relic limited-function "thing" with Mac?, or is it because I wanted to keep using this new wirless, non-Mac mouse?].
    Advice?

  • TS3276 Old email pops up for apple login? Logged out of store and back many times

    I cannot upgrade App Store downloads since the old email is not my apple id anymore.
    I was told by support to log out of store and baxk in and this would fix the problem, not so.

    If you created a new ID, you have to use the old ID in order to update apps since your purchases will always be tied to the ID that you used to make the purchases.
    If you changed the name that you use for your Apple ID go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and sign into the changed ID there. You can also sign into your ID in the bottom of the app store and the iTunes in in the lower left comer of the main screen in each app.

  • Log out of computer -- logs out of Internet connection also?

    I would like to Log out of my account for a minute, to log in again, making a GUI system enhancement work from something I did with ShapeShifter. I never log out; I always shut down the computer when I'm done with it. So the internet is always working properly when I turn the computer back on. If I log out, does the Internet connection/IP reset? Or do anything else where I would need to log in some foreign way? (foreign as in, not my regular name and password log in).

  • Log out in iMessage, log out in iMessage

    I would like to log out in iMessage and use another Apple ID to log in again

    Hi,
    Actually open the Messages app.
    Go to Preferences > Accounts.
    Select the iMessages account
    Use the Sign Out Button.
    I prefer Quitting then Restarting the app.
    Go to the iMessages account again and click the Details button if the Apple ID minus the password is not showing.
    Add the new ID in either case.
    There is no iMessages account setting in Internet Accounts
    Even if you use an iCloud ID (It does not have to be) then there is also no setting for Messages there either.

  • IMessage turned off how can I turn back on without remembering Apple ID?

    So, my friend has the iPhone 5 on Verizon. Someone turned their imessage off and it would be easy to turn it back on but she doesn't remember her apple ID password. Can imessage be turned back on without remembering her apple ID? I thought I fixed it for her because even without knowing the password it turned back on but today it seemed to turn off again. Do I need to know the password or will it automatically turn off without remembering the password?

    Yes so I'm aware of the difference between imessage and text....but imessage was turned back on last night for some time, then this morning it was turned back off. And if imessage requires a password, then if I switch it off on my iPhone, why doesn't it need a password to turn back on when on hers is requires it?

  • I can't find sweetim, but everytime I log out of Firefox and back on, it shows up as the default keyword search. How can I fix this!!!!!

    I have checked my installed programs, the list of add ons on internet explorer and the one on Firfox, and cannot find sweetim. However, when I try to do a keyword search in the location bar, I am only able to do it twice, until I switch to a new tab. After that, the keyword search no longer works, and gives me a message saying that I haven't typed in the URL correctly or it doesn't exist. There seems to be some connection to www.amazon.com, because everytime I open a new tab and try to do a keyword search in the location bar, amazon.com moves to the top of the small search window, and google moves down. I cannot search in the small window when amazon.com is up, because it won't let me overwrite.
    When I check the about:config, and reset to the defaults after 2 keyword test searches, it sets back to the sweetim.toolbar as the default again. I was just resetting Firefox, but I think I've done that 8 or 9 times now, and I still have the problem.
    What should I do next to fix this?

    HI Noah:
    Thanks for your answer. I'm working my way through the blog, and trying to take all of the steps. Hitman Pro did find 5 trojans, and many remnants of other malware, so hopefully that will help. I'll post again when I've finished trying everything else.
    I had already run Malware Bytes, It did not find/remove the sweetim toolbar, but found a different trojan. Something is up with my antivirus I think.

    After I highlight, copy and paste info into search box look at what I want, after leaving firefox and after manually deleting history and leaving firefox with setting to delete history upon leaving, when I re-enter firefox with cursor in search box right click and old info is still there. I also made sure to clear search history.Doesn't matter what website yahoo google, google maps, put cursor in search box right click and it's still there.
    Thanks.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the formhistory.sqlite file that stores the "Saved Form" data.
    Try to rename or delete formhistory.sqlite and other possible formhistory.* files like formhistory.sqlite-journal and formhistory.sqlite-corrupt in the Firefox profile folder.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Mountain lion on Mac Pro...after boot camp can't get back into OS x!!!!

    Hey all,
    Not sure what is going on?!?!? I sucessfully set up windows on bay 3 of my mac pro following the Apple documentaion....success!  However, when I go and try to boot back into OS X, I can't. All I get is the chime, then a white screen and pause. If I let go of any of the key combos (see below), it boots right back into windows. 
    List of things I can't do on boot are :
    - hold shift and go into safe mode
    - hold Command + R and go into recovery mode
    - hold alt and look for boot drived
    The only thing that I have succesfully done is gone into target disk mode and checked the drives on my macbook pro. They seem fine in disk utility.
    Please help! I don't want to be doomed to life with only windows 7 on my mac pro.
    Much thanks
    D

    As an ammendment, on my macbook pro, I have succesfully mounted my MAC PRO boot drive (mac pro is in target disk mode). Everything looks fine. So summary is...
    -Can't use any of the options to force a log in to my mac pro.
    -I can mount my mac pro boot drive to my macbook pro and boot it there
    -allways defaults to windows.
    Any knowledge (even obvious) is much appreciated.
