Can't even log into the desktop

I got a crash or something last night when I opened 2 webpage loading with flash applications, and the system slowed down and then later on can't even get any response.(Still my mouse can move and the screen show the 2 pages without response) I couldn't click the force quit or restart it so I pressed the back button to force switched it off.
After that in this morning when I turn it on again, It stopped at the loading page and couldn't get into the desktop.
I tried several times reboot, and now when I turn it on, a floder button flash on the middle of the screen and I don't know what to do.
Please help thank you so much.
PS: I am not sure what my OS is, it's likely 10.4.(something)

Hi konrinn, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this since it is Disk Problems likely...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, 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. (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 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.)
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all?

DNS -
Some folks resolve download and other connection issues by using either OpenDNS or Google Public DNS services. The best use is to use it as the DNS configuration in your modem/router/gateway device, but often the configuration in the computer or iOS device will over ride the other configuration if you don't have access.

Nothing shows up on my Desktop. I can put a file into the Desktop folder but it will not appear on the DTop. The HarDrive is not on the DTop either.

Nothing appears on my Desktop. The Finder seems to work, so I can place a file into the DTop folder, but nothing appears on the DTop, not even the HarDrive.

You can temporarily hide the crap on your desktop. Edit the CreateDesktop key in com.apple.finder:
defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool false && killall Finder
Then, to get my clutter back:
defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool true && killall Finder

Users are being logged into the desktop before the mapped drives GPO takes effect

We are using a Group Policy object to map network drives to our users. We are getting reports that the user are being logged into their desktop before the drives are mapped, causing a program that points to the mapped drive to not be able to access
files on that drive. Once the user goes into Computer and double clicks on the drive, they are then able to see the files on the drive and the program is able to access them as well.
We have added another GPO to institute the "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" policy to try to fix the issue, but it has not solved our problem.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

TS1368 Why can't I log into the iTunes store

When I try to update my apps, i get a comment saying...can't log into iTunes store. It's odd because I can download new apps. My password works. I just can't see my purchased items and can't update my apps. Im also shown as logged in at the bottom of the page on categories and other tabs.
Any help very appreciated.

Because there problems at the moment with the iTunes Store, try again later.

HT201441 if i can't contact the owner then what must i do? or if the owner have forgot the password and security answer to reset password and i can't even get into the phone to delete or reset it, what must i do?

bought this phone long ago and take it to a place to set it up both security and iclouds, now i dont have access to this phone anymore and i took it to him, he said i would have wrote it down then and he don't even usersname and password for both store and icloud find my iphone, i don't have access to the phone, can anybody help me out plz.

There is no way around activation lock, and no one can help you but the previous owner. If he can't remember his Apple ID ("user name"), he can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. After finding the ID, he can then reset the password if he doesn't remember it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787. If he is unable or unwilling to do this, you will not be able to activate and use the phone.

I started to delete my sparseimage file, but stopped it after it deleted 8 of 27k files. After rebooting, I can no longer log into the computer. It says that there is an error with FileVault. Please advise

Also, I have a time machine back up on an external drive, but im hesitant to use it. I have some VERY important photos that are not axles up. Does anyone know if unbacked up data is erased when you restore from time machine? I have already tried the disk utilities to repair the drive and the drive permissions.

Next step:
If I use the lvclass directly in my application, IT WORKS with remote debugging:
If I use the same class in compressed lib, it does not work:
(then error ocuures as described above)
Any Idea?
I have tried several property values of the compressed lib:
-"Fehlersuche aktivieren" ic checked (enable debug)
-no excludes (unchecked remove Typedefines...)
BTW: It does not update the version number of library. I set checkbox to automatically increase version number, but when I insert this lvlibp into small app, and open properties of this lvlibp, it tells me version 1.0.0.0
I have attached Source Code of small application using lvlibp library (MidSmallUsingClasses)
and of lvlibp project itself (TestClass)
Please help me: try to build, include in some application as packed library and remote debug.
Thank you in advance.
Please help me.

If you want to fix your Google search to a specific Google location, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:
http://www.machangout.com/
which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! Such as enabling Safari to run full-screen, and more.)
(It adds items to Safari Preferences).
Not only does it already list a number of search engines and regions, but you can also add any other search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:
http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine
Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.
(Glims does not work with Tiger)

Are you connected via wifi? If so, and it is an option, try connecting using a ethernet cable. It sometimes seems to help as it can give a more reliable connection for the 5.3gb download.
If you do manage to download it you may want to make a copy of the installer file - which gets downloaded to the Applications folder - before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation. It may save you another monster download in the future.

HT204266 I can not log into the App Store, even though I am logged in to iTunes. ? Help please :)

I can not log into the App Store, even though I am logged in to App Store and my password is entered into the settings. This appended after I accidentally switched to the British version of iTunes and I logged out and back in to get to the US. Now, I keep getting an error message that I can not log into the App Store. I have tried updating it to the computer and restarting, but still keep getting the error message. Help please! :)

I am afraid all apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and are not transferable.
Your son have to buy those apps with his own Apple ID and start from scratch.

APP-V 5.0 VDI A Temporary Profile is created when I log into the Virtual Desktop

Dear Sirs
I'm Enzo , an Italian System Engineer. Together with other fellows we created a test environment :
- a VDI machine (POC-VDI,10.102.94.219, Windows Server 2012 R2) with
RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker, RD Virtualization Host, RD Session Host Installed
The Hyper-V Environment includes :
- DHCP Server (to provide addresses to Virtual Desktop Collections)
- APP-V_5.0_Server , Application Virtualization Management Console 5.0, with 2 published packages (Office 2010 and Open    Office 4)
- Sequencer_W8-1, Application Virtualization Sequencer 5.0
- Client_8-1 , Client Windows 8.1 with Application Virtualization Client 5.0
From the Client_8-1 we can download and run the two published packages from the server (user VDI_TEST_1)
The Client_8-1 has been used as the template (sysprep /oobe /generalize /shutdown) for the Virtual Dektop (APP-0 and APP-1)
included in the collection 'APPV' (Pooled, Automatically Manage Virtual Desktop, Roll Back Virtual Desktops Enabled).
I connect to the 'RD Web Access' ( http 10.102.94.219 RDWeb, user VDI_TEST_1) , I then connect to APPV collection .
When I get logged into the Virtual Desktop (APP-0 or APP-1, user VDI_TEST_1), a Temporary Profile is created. Why ?
We configured :
User Profile Disk : share Location 10.102.94.219 UPD
   UPD : Share      Everyone Full Control
                              Security   SYSTEM    Full Control
                                         Network Service
Full Control
                                       POC-VDI$   Full
Control
                                         Administrators (POC-VDI\Aministrators)
Full Control
                                         Users (POC-VDI\Users)
Read & Execute
I am puzzled as long as when I get logged into the Virtual Desktop, a Temporary Profile is created. Why ?
Thanks in advance for your kind attention
Enzo

Highly unlikely it has anything to do with App-V.
Start troubleshooting by looking at permissions on shares and folder under the shares for the profile.

Can not able to log into the BPM workspace ?

Hi All,
I am using ALBPM 5.7 enterprise server and deployed my project into the enterprise server.
After the deployment when I tried to log into the workspace it is not taking any of the password.
PS: Before deployment I never tried to login to the workspace since I do not have user id for the project.
There are users in the participant wizard and I even tried to reset the password of existing user but it is still not working. I even tried to create a new participant but still it is not taking the password for the same user.
Is it like the new password/participant will get active only after certain time interval say 24 hrs.
But this is not the case of ALBPM 6.0 as far as my knowledge is concern.
Can somebody let me know where I made anything wrong.
If somebody has BPM administration document (Password Reset/Create participant in 5.7), please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you are trying to log into the workspace with the admin user..... not a participant.
The participants need to be set up in the Process Administrator, (which you will log in via the admin user / pass that was created for the engine).
Here are the 5.7 Documents: [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13165_01/albsi/docs57/index.html|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13165_01/albsi/docs57/index.html]

Wheel of doom spinning before I can log into the pro. Never happened before. The wheel spun a lot when i was using it yesterday and slowed down usage

wheel of doom spinning before I can log into the pro. So signing in was a panic attack in itself.
Never happened before.
The wheel has started to show up spun a lot when i was using it yesterday and slowed down general usage.
what is happening to the mac and what can I do to bring it back to life (before the rainbow wheel of doom)

If this has started happening suddenly without your having made any changes to your configuration, the it's likely that the boot drive is failing, or that there's some other hardware fault. Back up all data immediately, then run the Apple Hardware Test.

Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

Desktop site logs into the mobile site on 7 and 10 tablets?

In the past few months I have noticed that every time I log into the community from a tablet (7 inch or a 10 inch), the login page loads the mobile site when I originally started with the desktop view. The only way I could prevent it is to set the check box "request desktop site" beforehand. Once I'm logged the desktop view will stay from the bookmark until I report the first post in a thread to the Moderators for review. If I don't have check box for desktop activated before, the report script loads the mobile site instead. This didn't used to happen. For most of the year since the last forum "update" the desktop view would load all the time on the tablets. If I wanted the mobile site, I would be reading the forum from my phone not my tablet. The 10 inch tablet would easily be able to use the desktop view effectively has it has a similar screen size to some of the smaller netbooks and chromebooks available. Yet this site loads the mobile site which is nowhere near as powerful or useful as the desktop view.
Has anyone else seen this behavior on the login switch or reporting posts?
This isn't the first odd thing I have seen occur in the past year. Many of those things still happen on here. It would be nice if some of these things got fixed.

Yep, A BUNCH OF CRAP!!!!
They are forcing us to "THE COMMUNITY" in the hopes that someone in "THE COMMUNITY" is smart enough to have figured out a BLINKIN' ANSWER INSTEAD OF HIRING AND TRAINING THEIR OWN FRIGGIN' SUPPORT STAFF!!!!!!!!!
As Ann154 indicated - NO FRICKIN' SUPPORT here!!!!!!
Apparently they are willing to force all these **** changes on us and have us figure them out.
No one here (including me) apparently wants any of these new MOBILE 'hybrid' apps on our desktops and/or tablets - BUT WE SEEMINGLY HAVE NO CHOICE except to switch carriers.
This is why I have not renewed my multi-phone contract because my intent very soon is to bail for Sprint or T-Mobile - their coverage "IS GOOD ENOUGH" for us to use.
First, Verizon Fios forces this recent USER INTERFACE on us with the crappy colors that MANY people actually do believe is horrible. --- And next, they push this MOBILE interface on ALL OF US as if we ARE ALL DOPPIE teenagers without a full brain.
This kind of activity causes even more attrition, more folks leaving their subscriber base - what a waste.
