Can't click on users during startup screen

Hi,
I am unable to select user accounts by clicking them in the startup screen. But my trackpad is working fine once I am logged in by selecting the user account by pressing arrow. Please advice on this.
Regards,
Adarsh Sudheesan

Try pressing hard the trackpad to register the click.

User troubleshooting steps as outlined in the manual include restart, reset, restore, restore as new. Have you tried any of these? Restart involves powering off your phone and powering back on. Reset involves the following procedure:
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Recent update and now I can't click on user to log in!

The weirdest thing. I accepted an Apple Update - unfortunately I didn't write down exatly what was in it, but I think there was a Java upgrade and a couple of other things. The end result is that when it rebooted, my 2 users come up on the login screen, but I can't click on either one! The cursor moves (either with a USB mosue or my bluetooth MagicPad) but when I position it over the user's name and click, nothing happens. Anyone have any idea what this is and how I fix it? I need to log in but my "mouse click" isn't working!
Mike

What about using the keyboard to type the first letter of the name, then hit return? Does that get you in?
If it does, be sure to run Disk Utility and REPAIR (or Verify if you can't repair).
Also, you have to eliminate a cabling problem, such as the mouse being pulled halfway out of its socket.

Can we Customize Edit User-Defined Table Screen in Fusion Application

Hi All,
We have a requirement to add a ADFDI functionality to the 'Edit USer-Defined Table' screen by adding a 'Mass Upload' Button.
Normally for Some of the screens (Fusion Compensation) i am seeing 'Personalize -> Edit Current Page' Option on Menu items on top. But on 'Edit User-Defined Table' i am not seeing this option in 'Personalize' Menu.
So the questions is is this screen Customizable in Fusion Application? If So What will be EAR file which we need to use for Customization.
The screen where we need to add ADFDI Functionality is under 'oracle/apps/setup' path.
Can anyone point me to the Exact EAR on this and also let me know if we can customize it or not
Thanks
Kaja

Generally the code structure can be observed run-time [url https://blogs.oracle.com/fadevrel/entry/finding_code_artifacts_for_customization]using the composer, however in your case the content comes through a portlet in which case the method does not work as you cannot drill down to the specific region details in the composer. Based on a search through the code I think the regions you are interested are:
<li>hcmPayroll/userTables/ui/public_html/oracle/apps/hcm/userTables/ui/page/UserTableSearch.jsff --> This is the details page with header "Manage User-Defined Tables"
<li>hcmPayroll/userTables/ui/public_html/oracle/apps/hcm/userTables/ui/page/ManageUserStructure.jsff --> This is the details page with header "User-Defined Table: <TABLE_NAME>"
These would presumably be in EarHcmPayroll. I'll see if I can find out how the portlet content can be observed from the RT application..

Any user can unlock any other user password protected screen?

Major problem I'm having...!
On my Macbook Air - both myself and my wife can unlock each others password protected screen saver?
Surely this shouldn't be the case...?
We are both admin - but I would of assumed each could only unlock it's own user password protected screen saver.
Any help would be appreciated.

..."That doesn't make sense...as the login window is available from that password protected screensaver also..."...
The option to switch to the loginwindow only appears if the "Fast User Switching" GUI is enabled in the "Accounts" pref pane. If that option were to be disabled and eg. a user on a shared computer went home without logging out, in the absence of "admin" access, that computer would be entirely unusable to other users short of pulling the plug, which might interrupt any background operations in progress.
I suppose the behaviour could be alterred depending on the "FUS" status, but really, what would be the point since, as you acknowledge, an "admin" user ultimately has the ability to access an open session anyway?
For reference, note that "admin" users, in addition to the "session owner" are granted the right to unlock the screen in the "/private/etc/authorization" file under the 'system.login.screensaver' key so the behaviour can be adjusted from there.

Can't use OSX, stuck at startup screen

I have last year's Macbook White, 2.13 Ghz, 160 GB, 2 GB RAM, and it has quite a problem. A few days ago, the Macbook was perfectly fine, but yesterday, when I turned it on, the chime would come, and the startup screen with the round 'loading' sign and the apple logo would come.However, that screen stays like that for a minute, then another, very similiar screen comes. The loading sign is still there, but where the apple logo was, now there is a 'no smoking' type round cross sign, which stays there. OS X doesnt boot up, the screen just stays like that forever. I CAN, however, use windows. Please give me some advice on what to do.

User defined Selection screen for Logical database

hi all,
       can we display a user defined selection screen instead of the default selection screen in LDB . eg pnp
cheers
senthil

Hi,
to my knowledge, the selection screen of a logical database can only be changed (versions!) in the logical database itself.
What you can do is, write a program with your own selection screen an then either call another program that uses the LDB or - much better - you call the LDB from your program with function module LDB_PROCESS!
Example taken from the example library (TA ABAPDOCU):

Startup failure on PowerPC G5 (OSX 10.4), but can open under alternate user.

After a forced shutdown due to Excel freeze (?), startup proceeds normally thru OSX 10 startup until reach desktop image for one second and then to blue screen for a few seconds, then desktop image for a split-second, then blue screen, then spinning daisy, then desktop image, etc. etc.
I am able to use shift-option-escape to break the cycle and get to an alternate "user" account. By changing permissions I can get to most items under my main user account. But not extensive iPhoto pics.
How can I fix corrupted log-in problem or how can I get to my iPhoto items?

Hello,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc for this Mac & version of OSX installed, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

IMac gray screen (with frozen "spinning gear") during startup

Hello all - my first post to the community, so be gentle....
I'm having a boot issue with my early 2008 Intel based iMac. After a recent power outage, I can't get the machine to boot to OSX - the spinning gear spins for about a minute then freezes. When I boot to Snow Leopard install CD, it gets to the same point then displays a Kernel Crash screen. I can boot to Windows using the option key on startup, but Windows runds a little weird...mostly graphic display errors (dragging windows and scrolling in web browser is slow and jumpy, games crash with strange graphics displayed). I suspect a graphics card malfunction (the machine has an NVidia GeForce 8800GS), but I'm not convinced and I can't figure out how to test it. Here's more info:
- I'm running OSX version 10.6 with a Boot Camp XP partition.
- I've disconnected all peripherals except keyboard and mouse (including Ethernet)
- I've reset NVRAM/PRAM
- Safe boot, Single-user mode won't boot
- I haven't pulled and reset any RAM modules yet.
Any thoughts would be appreciated - I'm three hours from the nearest Genius Bar, so I'd like to try as much at-home troubleshooting as possible.

Restart during Maverick download, computer now at startup screen

Downloading stalled about a quarter of the way through during my Maverick installation so I restarted my computer. After restarting, my computer entered the start up screen asking me to either reinstall, start from time machine, etc. I do not have my operating disk handy and do not have time machine set up. Is there any way to revert back to Lion to attempt a fresh installation of Maverick? I don't want to loose all my files as they are not backed up. I am running on a 2012 MacBookPro. Thanks in advance!

If the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
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. Alterhatively, 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 Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Lenovo 3000 N200 - Blue Screen during Startup

I have a 3000 N200 laptop running Windows XP which has begun showing a blue screen error then restarting during startup.
When turned on, it shows the Lenovo logo page then a page saying Windows did not start successfully last time. When I choose to start Windows in both normal and safe modes, the XP startup screen comes up then a blue screen flashes up for 1/2 a second then it restarts. I disabled restart due to system failure and read the error code, details are below:
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
Technical Information:
*** STOP: 0x000000ED
(0x86F5F030, 0xC0000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
Choosing to start with command prompt loads files up to...system32\drivers\mup.sys, then freezes and restarts.
I have tried to enter the rescue and recovery using the LenovoCare button and F11, but this begins to load then freezes on the first screen.
I rang Lenovo and they sent recovery discs but these have not worked, bringing up the Rescue and Recovery first screen with the Boot CD and freezing as with the LenovoCare/F11 buttons.
I will be ringing Lenovo again tomorrow but any advice in the meantime would be much appreciated.

Screen Goes Black During Startup (after login)

Hello,
I have a 2005 Mac Mini PPC OS 10.4.11. This is the first problem I've had since purchasing the computer. This problem popped up out of nowhere. The screen goes black during startup just after I login into my account. I can hear the hard drive spin like it is finishing the startup process. The monitor power button blinks green.
I'm using the digital video cable. I tried switching to the VGA cable but the screen then goes black before the login screen.
The computer will startup in Safe mode.
I've tried Disk Utility (repair disk and repair permissions), Techtool Pro, Drive Genius, ColorSync Utility, Reset Pram, installed latest OS updates, and even re-installed the System twice (once because I removed all the Extension files and then the computer would not startup at all).
I've also tried removing cache files, plist files, startup files, preference files, and some or all of extension files.
The only applications I have recently installed were QuickTime Pro and a .flv movie player; both about a week before this problem started. I tried to uninstall them but could not figure out how.
What is the problem? How can this be fixed?
Thanks.
Richard

Howdy. I have Had the same problem as you in regards to a ViewSonic Monitor and the Mac Mini. This is my post:
Monitor failure when switching resolutions
Using Displays with the Mac mini, Apr 1, 2008, Replies: 2
Running 10.5.2 on Mac Mini G4 1.42 Ghz with ATI Radeon 9200, 32 MB VRAM and ViewSonic VX922
When switching resolutions from 1280x1024 to 800x600 or vice versa, the monitor will cut to black and the power light on the monitor switches from solid green to flashing green. Only by combinations of powering down the mini and starting it up again with the monitor on or off will bring the monitor back to life. This problem makes it difficult to play World of Warcraft amongst other games. Any feedback in regards to this problem would be appreciated.
Thank You!
At this point, I am unable to switch Monitor resolutions. If I do, the monitor goes black, and I have to power everything down and wait a while before I can restart.
I've resigned myself to not switching resolutions, but I'm wondering if you've had any luck.
Thanks for your time!
Kevin
