Alternative login screen?

Is there a way to get an alternative login screen, so that instead of clicking on a name you have to type it in? Basically like Windows has the option to do

Doesn't matter, found it in a section of the Account part of Sys Prefs :P

Bypass login screen in Lion OS X?

Is there any way to bypass the login screen in Lion OS X? I find it a cumbersome extra step becuase if I log in with my password, the Wi Fi does not connect so I have to restart. Alternatively if I just press the restart button on the login page, the system restarts without the need of a password (which seems totally contradictory....why ask for a password when on the same login screen you can get into the system without it) and the Wi Fi connection is good.
In any case, it's a waste of time to have to restart every time I boot up my iMac.

Its there for me...
Try resetting your PRAM and SMC to see if the IR receiver shows up after doing this.
Do you see the "IR Receiver" in the "USB" section of the "System Information" utility (previously "System Profiler")?

Smart Card login screen authentication

Apple don't seem to have updated their documentation on this subject since way back in the Mac OS X Tiger days!
I would like to have a setup where a user can walk up to a Mac (which is at the login screen), wave an RFID card over a reader connected to that Mac and be able to then login to that Mac. If it is necessary for a PIN/Password to also be entered that might be acceptable. Similarly if the screensaver activates during their login session, waving their RFID card again over the reader should unlock the screensaver.
An alternative scenerio would be a Mac with a guest login account enabled, and then wanting to use the same card reader to authenticate when requested to a proxy server in order to gain network access.
The cards to make it clear would be RFID based, not magstripe or chip-and-pin. There are suitable USB readers like this one

MacBook Pro will not go past login screen/gray screen/gray Apple screen. Wheel keeps spinning.

I am pretty frustrated right now as anyone would be if this happened.
I was installing Anti-Virus onto my MacBook Pro and the installation finished but the computer froze. I force restarted the computer and it went all the way into my desktop, I could click on certain things but it was loading INCREDIBLY slow. The Anti-Virus opened and everything but the computer was just running much to slow and then froze again.
I hard reset the computer again because it was frozen. The first time I hard reset it went all the way to the login screen, I put my password in and the wheel would just spin. It just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning.
I hard reset the computer again. This time it gets to the Apple logo with the spinning under the logo. Just keeps spinning.
I hard reset the computer again. This time it gets past the spinning under the logo and isn't doing anything.
I hard reset the computer again. Get's all the way to the log in password screen, doesn't even let me put the password in just keeps spinning.
I continued to hard reset and get different screens each time.
I booted into safe mode. Did absolutely nothing for me but run incredibly slow and lag. I am not sure if that is normal or not, as I have never safe booted on a Mac. I reinstalled Mountain Lion after going into I think it was Recovery Mode (Command + R) and that did absolutely nothing for me after waiting over an hour. So now I am very frustrated as I need to do work for my class and this is just a major problem.
I even tried doing the Command + Option + P + R or whatever it was to reset those settings. Nothing is working.
Final projects and computers that don't want to work are not good.

Are you not able to install OS X, then? That is, the reinstall procedure does not work? If so, then you need to erase the drive then reinstall OS X.
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Good news! Removing "other user" from login screen.

I got a brand new macbook pro days ago. All are amazing, except the annoying "other user" on the login screen. I have googled and tried every possible solution such as disabling root user, changing user's name, deleting and etc.
Here is the 100% successful solution.

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

How can I change the background blur effect on Yosemite login screen?

How can I turn off the background blur effect on the Yosemite login screen on my 27" iMac?
Each time my family changes to a different user on the iMac, the wallpaper blurs (other than the small login box). It is as if you have lost your vision temporarily when such a large display becomes blurred. It is particularly bad if there is a lot of contrast in the colors of the wallpaper.

Hi,
the VDI login screen/desktop selector uses the configured default locale from the Sun Ray kiosk session. You can change the default by logging into the Sun Ray admin UI (http://yourserver:1660) and selecting the Advanced - Kiosk Mode tab. Click on Edit and enter the desired locale (e.g. de_utf8) in the Locale field. Click OK to store your changes.
The next time a new kiosk session starts up it will take into account your changes. You can terminate all existing kiosk sessions by executing a cold Sun Ray services restart (see the Servers tab). Alternatively, you can also just quit your current kiosk session by clicking on "More Options - Quit" in the VDI login screen.
Please notice one caveat here: the specified locale must be supported on your system. For example, execute locale -a on a terminal to get a list of all your currently installed locales. If you specify a locale that does not exist on your system, then the kiosk session will ignore this and it will have no effect on the VDI login screen.
Hope that helps.

Installing yosemite on windows login screen

Hi, after something went totaly wrong with my mac, I found myself stuck on the windows login screen (My mac also operated with windows). I didnt remember my windows password and I cant change it via mail or something. So I was really stuck in there and I think I should buy os x yosemite so I can install os x again. But my question is: If I put the stick in my mac, can I reinstall os x again or will nothing happen? Because if I buy it and nothing is gonna happen Ive bought that stick for nothing,
Thank you!

You don't buy a USB drive with Yosemite on it. You download Yosemite from the App Store. To reinstall OS X:
Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

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...

How can I get an Active Direcotry account to show at login screen

I've just Binded a computer to our Active Directory network, and when I log off, I only see the local account listed at the login screen, and it takes 5-10 seconds before the arrow comes up that lets me choose Other.
I want to be able to list the Active Directory account that the user should login with, is there a way to make it stick at the login screen?

You can add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.
You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.

How to pop up a login screen when using menu?

I have created a Menu. Now I want to create a login form, means login form will be the first form where there will be a button of log in. As soon as an user click that button a login screen should be popped up. Then user will enter the login id and password and then he is connected. Now he/she can access to other forms in the menu. Could you please tell me how to do that?

You can start a form without login in by putting "null;" in the on-logon trigger and the put logon in the menu that you want the user to select to login.
Search this forum for the login code. It has some finer points when it comes to exception handling that are not obvious.

How to enable login screen which doesn't require a password

I'm setting up an image for a computer lab. The computers that are currently in this lab auto login. However, in the off case that a student accidentally (or maybe purposefully) locks the computer, we want them to be able to simply click the user account
picture and it logs in without asking for a password. The current Windows 7 PCs in this lab work that way, but whoever set them up can't remember how this was accomplished and I can't figure out for the life of me how to get it done. Currently, if I lock the
PC, it just brings me to the login screen with a blank username & blank password field.
These machines are not on the domain. Does anyone have any idea how to get this behavior out of the login screen?

BYPASS LOGIN
Open a Run window (Windows Logo key+R), type netplwiz and press Enter. Remove the tick from “Users must enter a user name and password” > OK. You may have to type the user account name/password just the once to complete the process.
BYPASS ENTERING A PASSWORD AFTER WAKEUP
To bypass entering a password after hibernation, go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Power Options > Require a password on wakeup (in the left pane) and put a check mark in Don’t require a password.

Can we have two login screens for a particular application?

I have an application which is sso enabled.
Can i have another login screen, which doesnt authenticate SSO?

I a nutshell, Yes you can have multiple login pages for one application. All you will need to do is specify which one you want to go to when you create the link to the application.
E.g If you have an application number of 54321 and within this application you have 2 login pages number 101 and 111. You will need to use the following urls to access each one:
http://server_name:port/pls/htmldb/f?p=54321:101
http://server_name:port/pls/htmldb/f?p=54321:111
I do not know about how SSO works with ApEx as I have never used it. But you can definitly have 2 separate login pages.
Hope this helps,
