after typing login password at login screen osx lion attempts to login then returns to login screen, any ideas?

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

    When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, probably remembered password and login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • Progress Bar after typing in password. OS X Yosemite

    I just updated to OS X Yosemite and it seems to be working fine but is any one else experiencing a progress bar appearing after entering in their password to access their computer?
    it seems like this progress bar should show when the apple logo appears and not after typing in password
    is it supposed to be like this?
    MacBook Pro with Retina Display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

    After further investigation, it is not the displaying of "Today" files that is the issue.  It appears that Finder / Favorites / All My Files is not correctly finding & displaying files when using the View / Arrange By / Date Last Opened criteria.  If I switch the criteria to / Date Modified, it finds & displays the file correctly.  See attached screen shots.  (It is possible that this problem existed before Yosemite, as I don't recall which criteria Finder was using before the upgrade.)

  • Wake up at the login screen of lion.  It is almost like the whole screen is painted grey and moving my mouse side to side is like an erase fuction that reveals the login area one little square at a time

    wake up at the login screen of lion.  It is almost like the whole screen is painted grey and moving my mouse side to side is like an erase fuction that reveals the login area one little square at a time. Similar to other posts.

    I was so frustrated I call the Apple Tech Support and they walked me through.  It has been doing great.  The screen still turns black but now, when I touch the mouse or touch pad, I get the password prompt.  The Apple Store did not help but talking the the Apple Tech has helped a lot.  Thank you.

  • 2 log-in screens after turning filevault 2 on in Mac OSX Lion?

    Hi -
    I turned file-vault on in Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3 and now I am presented with log-in screens 2 times whenever I reboot my mac. First log-in screen comes immediately, is a light gray screen with filevault-enabled users, so I enter my password there and after some time I am presented with a second normal log-in screen, dark gray with all users. After entering my password in this second login screen, I am able to use my mac.
    I am wondering if this 2 log-in screens is the normal behavior after turning on the filevault 2 on in Mac OSX Lion?

    Hi Linc -
    That is indeed what I am doing now, it is still decrypting. once it is done decrypting, I will start encryption again. I am not sure why the first screen is coming, just an FYI: I do not have firmware password set in my macbook as well.
    I will post back the status when I get around this, thanks for your response.

  • Frozen after typing (correct) password. HELP!

    Any ideas before I do a hard reset?
    As of last night, my Blackberry isn't fully unlocking after I type my password. I type the correct password and hit enter, the password entry section turns dark (or it will stay on the "Enter Password screen" and appear to freeze). (If I type the wrong password it simply prompts me again, so i know I am typing the correct password). This is after multiple battery pulls.
    Sometimes after typing the correct password, I can hold down the blackberry button and it will bring up the box that lets me switch to BBM, the browser, the Home Screen, etc and I can "switch" to that program, but there is a sort of frozen shadow of the Enter Password box over what ever app I switch to and I can't use the trackball or keyboard in those apps.
    This "frozen box' is preventing me from using any application on my BB!
    I CAN receive calls. Barely. I can only make calls if I pull battery and DON'T unlock the phone and go to the Place Call option.
    I upgraded to OS 5 over a week ago and things were fine until last night. I can hear my BB when it receives messages (the tones work) or txt etc but can't read anything due to the lock up!!
    The only suspect is Google Talk which I installed two days ago and seemed to be hogging resources and draining the battery, however the phone worked fine for about a day with it on. Perhaps Google Talk is launching at startup and hanging things up? I doubt it but this is full disclosure.
    I have also, pulled battery and removed the micro-sd card to see if that had any affect -- alas to no avail.
    One analogy I can think of is it as if the Windows Explorer is hung but everything else is working.
    THOUGHTS? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try this:
    1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
    "c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
    3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
    4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
    5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Try UNclicking on the Google Talk app and remove it from the device and let's see if that is the issue.
    NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
    Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.

  • Resetting a firmware password when never put a firmware password on Macboo Pro OSX Lion

    I have never put a firmware password on my Macbook Pro OSX Lion (2012). But now when I am trying to reset it, its asking for a password how can I reset this or remove it.

    Hi macbookprowilliam, I have the SAME problem, that grey lock just appeared trolling me. I dunno the password and I wan't to sell this macbook! I need the password. Maybe it's a new malware! I don't even know how to set a firmware password and I am the only user on this computer too! I have a thread about that too: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3926399?start=0&tstart=0
    So, did you fix it or got around it? Please reply! I am desperate.
    Thank you

  • HT201177 My new Mac Mini is plugged directly into my tv via hdmi cable and the screen will abruptly go blank and then return after a few seconds. Why is this happening?

    So I recently got a Mac Mini about two weeks ago and for some reason while I am on it the display will go blank and then return after a few seconds. It is happening very frequently. I checked the HDMI cable, I checked my tv and nothing seems to be wrong with them and I don't know what is going on.
    I am getting a bit frustrated because this Mac is brand spanking new and it is totally acting up for no reason whatsoever.
    Could someone please help me with this? I don't want my new computer to be useless. I need it.

    Which TV model do you have?
    Be aware of the fact that very many TVs do expect video signals on their HDMI inputs, not data signals from Macs or PCs. Please consult your TV manual if PCs or Macs can definitely be connected via HDMI, or if e.g. only DVI or RGB/VGA connectors are to be used.
    In case of DVI inputs for data being present, it's not a problem if an HDMI->DVI adapter, or better, cable is being used.
    Many users here are overlooking this potential reason for problems, assuming that HDMI outputs must always communicate with any HDMI input, certainly also because TV manufacturers do not "advertise" such limitations loudly.
    AV receivers with multiple HDMI inputs and a single HDMI video output to the TV are typically more "tolerant" and provide a sort of "converter" function. If present, feed a Mac's HDMI signal into the receiver, not the TV directly. If the receiver does not have enough HDMI inputs, consider to connect rather a video source (DVD player or similar) directly to the TV than the the Mac.

  • Firefox will not launch. The screen goes black for several seconds, then returns to the launcher drawer.

    Installed Fennec 4.0b2 on my Acer Liquid running Android 2.2. When I tried to launch application, the screen goes to black, with a grey bar at the top with the word "firefox" within. This screen persists for several seconds, before the returning to the previous screen.

    Thanks for the report. This is a known bug that only affects Acer Liquid phones. We're working on it, but we don't have a fix ready yet. For details, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606194

  • When I touch Mail, it opens then returns to main screen

    When I touch Mail, it opens briefly and then returns to the Main screen. The main screen Mail icon says there are 73 e-mails but it won't stay open longer than a fraction of a second. This began when I was selecting e-mails to delete; the program shut down and returned to the main screen. What to do?

    Hi: A reset may help. Press and hold the Sleep/On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds. Ignore the slide to turn off indicator, and wait for the Apple logo to reappear. Release buttons. No content will he changed with this process.

  • Macbook pro will not login after typing in password.

    Whenever I type in the password, pressing enter will just highlight the password I typed in and do nothing. Whenever I click the enter button, nothing happens either.  I can still use the media keys and play songs through spotify... I just cannot login.  Whenever I hold the power button down, nothing happens either, I can't even turn it off.

    I closed the laptop, came back and opened it, and that's how the problem happened.

  • Laptop freezes after typing in password at log in screen

    I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 5040 laptop  model 115N-28180, and after I type in my password it freezes on the welcome screen and will not move from there. 
    Sometimes it only gives me a blank black screen when I reboot it.  I can get into the desktop in safe mode without any problems, and have also ran the f12 repair and no problems showed up.  I also tried holding down the power button with the battery out and only using the AC adapter for power.  I changed user accounts and deleted the old one thinking there may be a problem there but that still didnt work.  If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it!!!!

    Do you have a shell initialization script for this remote account?
    Does this shell initialization script echo/print anything to standard out?  If so, this can totally screw up sftp or scp connections.
    Shell initialization files could be one of the following:
    .bash_profile
    .bash_login
    .profile
    .bashrc
    This assumes 'bash' is your shell (the Mac OS X deftaul).  If you have a different shell, the shell initialization file names would different.
    If you are using 'bash', try adding the following to the beginning of any 'bash' shell initialization script you are using
    [[ ${-#*i}  = ${-} ]] && return
    This will stop the bash shell initialization script from running when you are not doing an interactive login, such as sftp or scp.

  • After typing master password in session can I force typing master password again without ending current session and starting new session?

    Sometimes after using the master password to access an account during a given firefox session I would like to "revoke" this ability for automatic access (i.e. require typing the master password again) without having to end the current session and restart firefox.
    While it is nice to only have to type the master password once per session, there are times when after starting some action I would like to leave the browser unattended for a short time but prevent others from accessing sensitive information at other sites if they do not know my master password. Note this is not the same as "locking the browser." Presently the only way I know to force this is to kill the current session and restart the browser but this is not very satisfactory if I actually want to stay connected (authorized) at a particular site. I would hope that adding a button on the security tab to "require master password for current session" would be a simple fix to implement? Thank you for your attention.

    While waiting for a response to this question, I stumbled upon a partial (good workaround) answer to my question in the form of a Firefox addon, Master Password Timeout [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/master-password-timeout/ ]. Among other things it adds "Logout Master Password" as an option under the Firefox "Tools" menu which then gives the functionality I was looking for.
    It seems to me though that this is a basic security option that would be good for a general Firefox user to be aware of since leaving a browser open unattended with no master password required could easily lead to trouble. Before finding this addon I was not aware that Firefox 4 had a 30 minute default timeout for the master password. At least in my case I have left Firefox going overnight on home computers and have not had to retype the master password the next morning... so somehow I missed having this "default" set when I upgraded to Firefox 4.
