After upgrading to Yosemite cannot load past login screen (FREEZE w/IMG)

I JUST updated to Yosemite, that went fine on my 2012 iMac. However I kept getting this MLB..... type plugin notification that would not go away. Even if i press more information or "ok" it would pop back up again every 10 seconds and kept it as an active window every time. I got very annoyed and started a purge of plugins and extensions that I read online that would relate to it.
So I guess somehow in my successful purge I deleted an essential start up extension/plugin. Because I can login successfully, but then when it attempts to load my account I get a freeze on this screen.
Yes I attempted to start in safe mode, it kept giving errors that start up failed to start properly
I attempted also disk repair. I repaired and verifyed disk through cmd + r and it said everything was fine. Rebooted, still got crazy start up screen
I also attempted D for a start up command, gave me an archaic verifying for hardware. Again it said nothing was wrong. I did the quick version, currently doing the more through version which takes up to 1+hrs and nothing so far.
I am asking can I put a start up disk, or some file on a USB start there and try to put back a correct set of start up files? All while trying to preserve my current files?
Thorough and general help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Natalie

After upgrading to yosemite, cannot login as mobile user

After upgrading to Yosemite, I can no longer log on to the Mavericks server as a mobile user. The password prompt is first on the server instead, because only after I do I remove all network connections or disable, I can log in.
The connection to the server is running AFP. If I remove the binding in the user settings, then it goes without problems. Also, the Sync works to profile server. I create the new binding, I can do this only with no name / password, otherwise it returns an error message.
What can be the problem? Must necessarily be 4.0 installed Yosemite or server on the server?
Thanks for a tip!

Quick tip: try logging in and don't use capitals or spaces in your username.
So instead of: Bram From Maastricht, use bramfrommaastricht

Ix2 fails to respond, cannot get past login screen

I am having intermittent problems with my Iomega ix2 failing to respond. After some time being on the drive fails to respond. I cannot open any files through Windows explorer. If i attempt to connect using the web interface i cant get past the login screen. I put in my user name and password and hit enter. The page simply reloads the login screen. The only solution is to power the drive down using the button on the back of the unit. Powering it up it works fine. Eventually though this will happen again. It's happened a half dozen time or more in the last few days. Now I'm stuck out in the field and cannot access any files. Please help.

No. No errors in the event log of any kind other than the time sync error. I recently replaced one of the disks as it had failed. I receieved a warranty disk from Lenovo/Iomega about a month ago. i installed it and it rebuilt the RAID with no problems. This error has been happening since then. When the time sync error happens i get all kinds of strange behavior. SFTP, which is how I access the files, will start giving Goodsync 'cannt reach end of file error' type errors. Like I've mentioned before I also get an issue where the web login screen gets caught in a loop too. I type in the user name and the password, hit enter, and it just reloads the login screen again. Rebooting the device from the power button on the back is the only solution.

MBP running Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8 cannot get past login screen even in safe boot

Help! I have a Macbook Pro purchased in 2009, running Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8 which froze while running Adobe Illustrator. On reboot, it won't allow me to go past the login screen. I tried starting up from the disc, running disk verification and repair and repairing disk permissions, and trying to start up in safe boot, all to no avail. When the login screen comes up it gives the name of my hard drive with a (2) after it, which seems strange. Any suggestions short of reinstalling the system software? I don't want to lose my applications/data!

My 1 year old MBP running OSX has got more sluggish. The little multicolored spinning timer wheel keeps appearing a lot more now, and I hate it! My MBP takes drastically longer to boot when i turn it on as opposed to when I just got it. My web pages take a long time to load. Can anyone help me? WHat can I do to speed up my MBP. I am a novice mac user. Again my mac is getting slower by the day and i dont know how to increase its overall performance. Is there any simple software that can boost overall performance or will I have to reformat my MBP? I have a 200gb HD with 50 gb free and 4 gb of ram.
Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Launch the Activity Monitor utility. Pull down the list near the top and set it to "All Processes". Click on the "CPU" column heading to put the highest CPU consumers at the top. Also click on the "CPU" tab in the lower part of the window to check the value for "% Idle". If that value is much above zero, check the other categories for signs of resource problems. If nothing there points to a possible problem, launch the Console utility and look for messages that might suggest a problem. If you see messages that you have trouble interpreting, post them here and someone should be able to help.

After upgrade imac won't get off login screen

My harddrive died on my imac 24" mid 2007 and I replaced the harddrive. I chose to migrate my data from an external drive. After waiting for all of that, my password didn't work, so I find the solution in the forum and was able to log in.
Everything was working fine...able to change the password. When I checked for software upgrades, it said to upgrade to 10.6.8 (from 10.6.3). I did that.
Now my imac loads, asked for my password, starts, goes to blue screen, and then comes back to login screen.
I have tried all the special keys to launch from my install CD, whatever, and get the same result...it always ends up at the login screen.
I can't get the computer to launch in safe mode or anything...just the login screen...so I'm basically stuck.
Does any one have any ideas or solutions? I would love to just format the drive and forget the migration, but can't even do that.

You can't boot off the DVD? Try holding down the option/alt key during a restart and see if you can select the disk there to boot from.

Cannot get past login screen

I cannot get past the login screen. I ran the disk utility to verify/repair my hard drive. The tool fixed a minor sequencing issue which resulted in a "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be ok. That did not fix the problem. Next, I tried booting in safe mode. I cannot. I'm thinking my next step is to reinstall the OS X from the Mac Utilities Suite. My fear is that it is going to erase my Hard Drive. True? Will performing this function erase my locally stored data (files, photos contained with iPhoto)?

Start up in Safe Mode.

VMware - I cannot logon to Windows 7 after upgrade to Yosemite

After upgrading to Yosemite, I cannot logon to Windows under VMware Fusion 7.0. It was working fine prior to the upgrade. The message I get when logging onto Window is,
"The User Profile Service service failed the logon.
The User profile cannot be loaded."
I'm running on a Mac Pro Mid 2010 and Yosemite itself is otherwise working fine. VMware was not running during the upgrade and re-start of the Mac. I'm stuck and need to get this resolved any help is appreciated.

I found the solution, I would have found it much earlier but just too tired and stressed from the week I guess
Anyway it is NOT a Yosemite or even VMware issue, it figures it's just a good old Windows issue that dates back to at least 2010, why am I not surprised. Probably as Windows was booting up and giving me the logon it was running anti-virus in the background and the user profile was corrupted, which means that Windows as usual was also not displaying a precise error message, just one that was close enough for Microsoft work.
The solution is easy especially if you can handle booting to Safe Mode and using Regedit, easier still if you have two user profiles in Windows even if one is just a duplicate of emergency uses, say like this. The details can be found here, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215
I was up and running within two minutes. Whew.

After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade my iPhoto, now the full res versions of my images cannot be found.

After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade my iPhoto, now the full res versions of my images cannot be found. I had created a book to print (before upgrade) but, after the upgrade the book can't be created as I get the message that images can't be found. However, if I search for the filename I can find the image. I tried repairing library as per support instructions but it hasn't helped. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.

Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - apply Option #4, Rebuild Database.

You don't need to go to the App Store to for support for Steam and Minecraft. You need to go to their website(s).
You're welcome

BTW. I have seen posts suggesting age of Mac has an affect. Mine is MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
The mail I am having problems send is Exchange and google mail. The google client I re-installed and this had no affect.

in response to Pita Fito
I have contacted three more people that made the upgrade and they have the same problem. My advise is not to upgrade until Apple solves the serious issue, I would hate to have to re-install Outlook...

I can send e-mails just fine with apple mail on yosemite...
Might not be a generic problem but rather a personal problem..
You should try find a fix rather than waiting on apple.
Hopefully somebody can help you out.
More than happy to help with your settings/preference pain... And compare mine with yours...
If you send some screenshots... I can send you my equivalent... So maybe you can figure it out.
Is it a gmail or icloud email acount? Can be of more help if it is.

WIFI connection issue: After upgrading to Yosemite, I lose my connect in SOAS, university of London. Overtime, it rejects me as Authentication fails in this network. Even the school technicianer cannot fix. I wonder how to downgrade or any solution?

After upgrading to Yosemite, I lose my connect in SOAS, university of London. Overtime, it rejects me as Authentication fails in this network. Even the school technicianer cannot fix. I wonder how to downgrade or any solution? I never encounter this issue with Mavericks or the one before.

I also have the internet diagnostic report, but it is nonsense to me to read it.

I cannot update apps after upgrading to Yosemite. Please Help!

Hello,
After upgrading to Yosemite, i wanted to go on to iMovie, but i have to update. So i try to update but it refuses and tells me: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
So what i understand is because i bought this mac in the US and I'm using it in the UK its not letting me update it. But what i don't understand is that i was able to upgrade to Yosemite with my mac knowing i was in the UK.
How can i update my applications?
Thank you for your time,
TOAOMA

Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept it and the other iLife/iWork applications into your Apple ID, do so.
2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
4. Buy them.
