Can't log in after 10.6.8 update

I just updated to 10.6.8 tonight, and went on the App Store to see if any more news about Lion. Noticed I had 4 updates, selected "Update All" and signed in.... gear wheel just spun and spun and after a minute or two told me login failed. Opened iTunes, shut off home sharing and then attempted to sign in to reopen it, and got "the password you entered is incorrect" (no, it's not). Tried a restart twice, checked my firewall, still no go. Are the servers just bogged down with people updating? earlier this evening when I tried downloading the update, it told me 4 hours(!?!?) to download 275 mb with a simultaneous dual band Airport Extreme, sitting 8 feet from my MBP. Later on it only took a few minutes, but still left me with this problem. Anyone else

Try booting in Safe Mode. Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
It can take a little longer to boot in Safe Mode then a normal boot. Once you are in Safe Mode, go to the Apple menu (top left in your screen) then click: Restart.
I just updated to 10.6.8 tonight, and went on the App Store to see if any more news about Lion.
Lion is not available until July. Apple - OS X Lion - Get Lion in July. Only from the Mac App Store.
And.... launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / View My Account / Edit Payment Information. Make sure the Security code and expiration date for your credit / debit card is available and correct then click Done. This is necessary even for updating software

IMac can't log-in after regular e-update

This is a follow up for my old post.
My iMac-G4(flat panel) can not log-in after the on-line free software e-update provided by Apple weekly. The actual diagnosis is: start up the iMac, when the blue-bar finishes, no log-in box showing up, so I can't log-in to use. I have tried to re-install, but it could not re-install. But I ran the Hardware Test CD, it said OK. I took the iMac to Apple's Hong Kong support center, they charged me HK$600(US$80) for examination fee, then said it was the logic-board problem and needed to replace for another HK$6000(US$800) cost. I ended up not to fix it as too expensive. Anyone have opinion? Because I thought if the logic board died, how can I still able to start up and run the Hardware Test CD?

My iMac just crashed after the latest software update - (iMac 20" Intel Core Duo, 2GB RAM, 256MB-VRAM)
After the latest software update, the screen went grey and black boxes appeared with messages about a "panic". Needed to use power button to restart but I received the same message ("panic" and need to use power button).
AppleCare didn't solve it - They had me "Repair Disk" (it was OK, no repair needed) then they had me try a "Archive Install" but that didn't finish (after about 40 min. it locked-up with only 2 min. to go!). I tried this 3 times with the same problem during the last 2 min. (it was installing iWeb files...)
I have Apple Care but since they couldn't help, I plan to take it to the Apple Store today.
I can't believe your logic board is bad either...
Anyone else having a problem with the latest updates??

Can not log on after successfull installation - SAP Netweaver Trial JAVA

Hello,
I have successfully downloaded and installed the NW Java trial. (NW_JAVA_700SP14_SR3.rar)
I can see in SAP MMC that all the services was started. At http://vjm:50000 I can see the default page.
Unfortunately I can not log on to any page that need SAP authentication (eg. User management, NW administrator),
but can log to pages which needs just basic browser authentication (eg: Web Service Navigator, UDDI client, System Information).
The portal also does not let me log on (http://vjm:50000/irj ).
When I get the standard SAP NW log on screen, after entering Administrator with the correct master password, simply the log on screen appears again (the password field is cleared). I also tried some incorrect user name / password just to check the difference. In that case I got the correct error message.
I installed the software with WMware, Windows 2003 server, allocated enough disk space and 1.6Gbyte RAM. The installation finished without errors. Prior, I installed the MS loopback too (tried without it too). In SAP MMC everything is green, only have an open alert in J2E 00 -> Services -> Security -> Aggregated Data -> Invalid session count "262 > 200 last reported value above treshold".
I am using the standard internet explorer coming with Win2003 server.
Tried the users: Administrator, SDM, Guest, ADSUSER. I know that the password is correct, because I don't get any error if I use it, just getting the log on screen back ...
Could anyone pls help me how can I log on to the system? Or is there any security trace file or log which could help me solve this problem?
I am desperately trying to install this trial, I completely reinstalled the software 5 times but still can not use it

Hi,
is your problem persisting?
CAVE: If you use a wrong user/pw combination > 3 times the account of the user may be locked!
try j2ee_admin instead of administrator or try adm together with your Masterpassword
Do you have to specify the users pw inside the installation procedure? In "normal" installations this has to be done.
If not the pw´s in the documentation of the previous answer`may fix your problem.
The sap mmc is irrelevant for user authentication.
Green means your system is running, nothing else.
kind regards
Tom

Admin can not log in after migration Teaming

Hello,
I did migrate Teaming 1.0.3 (SLES 10 SP2) to Teaming 2.1 (SLES 10 SP 2) on a different server according to information from this web site Novell Documentation
Everything worked with one exception admin account can not log in :(
The rest of the account works, but users are taken from LDAP.
I tried to use the old admin password as well as a new admin password set during installation Teaming 2.1
In catalina.out log I got:
WARN [http-9080-1] [org.kablink.teaming.module.authentication.impl.Aut henticationModuleImpl] - Authentication failure for zone 1: org.springframework.security.BadCredentialsExcepti on: Bad credentials; nested exception is org.kablink.teaming.security.authentication.Passwo rdDoesNotMatchException: Password does not match for user [kablink,admin]
I think that something has gone wrong with the admin account password after the migration but I do not know how to fix it.
I tried to change the password for the admin account directly in the database table but I do not know what hash algorithm is used by Teaming 2.1
Does anyone encountered such a problem?
How can I set a new password for the admin account directly in the MySQL database?
Best regards,
Piotr Szewczuk

I **think** that hash is specified in the installer.xml file. Try also to post your question on the kablink forum: Installation, Configuration, Customization

[Solved] - Can't Log In After Upgrade

Just upgraded and now can't log in. System hangs at 'Reached target Graphical Interace.'
When I go to tty2 and try to log in, I get 'Log incorrect' error message when trying to log in as normal user or root.
Re-booted to runlevel 3 and tried to su to normal user. Get 'su: module is unknown' error.
Checked slim logs and see 'pam_setcred(): module is unknown' error.
Have re-installed pam and pambase.
Still can't log in. Appears to be a pam problem, but after many searches, can't find solution. Any ideas?
Update: I re-installed libgssglue package and that solved the problem. Not certain why that wasn't updated during the pacman -Su command, but I can now log into my system and everything is normal.

Can't log in after recovery from time machine

We had to replace the disk on my daughter's MacBook Pro. We restored her data from Time Machine on an external drive. After completion the system brought up the login screen. In addition to her account, there's one for me and one for my wife. All of them appeared but none of our passwords work. The password hints are correct, but we can't log in. Help!

First, make sure caps lock is not on.
Another reason why the password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. You can select one of the available layouts by choosing from the flag menu in the upper right corner, if it's showing, or cycle through them by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See also this support article.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password. In OS X 10.10 and later, this option also works with FileVault, but only if you enabled it when you activated FileVault. It's not retroactive.
Otherwise*, start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
In the window that opens, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is active.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but the Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as the login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

I can use guest account and create other users with admn privileges, but when I try to log in to my user acct. the system apparently accepts but while the desktop is loading the system goes back to log in screen. Can I downgrade to the previous mac os x version? I can't see any of my files. I tried to restore with timemachine, but it doesn't works

Computer does the restore but, because I'm restoring from other Adm Acct, and system doesn't let me access any document residing on my acct. I'm just seen a lot of files with a red letter h. What thats means??? I'm seriously considering re-install the original version 10.6.4 and then made time machine restore. I can use the computer and mac and a fresh and new desktop with brand new applications on guest acct but where does my files gone?. by the way I don't see parallels desktop 6 for mac applcation nor windows.

I can't log in after I got a start up disk is full message, what do I do? ?

I am having a problem logging in after a startup disk is full message. Is there anything I can do to get it to log in again? I have been deleting large files but I guess it wasn't enough to take care of the problem.

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

Go to Solution.

Stop Skype from running on your computer. Quit or use Windows task manager to kill any Skype.exe processes.
Go to Windows Start and in the Search box type %appdata%\skype and press Enter. Find now a folder with the name of your Skype account. Open this folder. You will find there a file named config.xml. You may see only config but with XML Document in the Type column. Delete this file. Restart Skype.

Macbook takes longer time to launch & log in after 10.6.4 update

After 10.6.4 update,
my macbook took quite a long time to launch the log-in screen page.
Not only that, upon logging in, the dock, icons & toolbars took long than usual to appear as well.
Though, it's just a minor problem, but anyone else is experiencing this problem?

I have experienced slow loading time even after a reboot with 10.6.4.
Additionally, Flash programs are not loading in my Safari 5; experienced problems accessing my new phone upgrade options on the Verizon wireless website and some games will not load.
Also when I mouse over drop down menus on the Verizon wireless website, the screen appears to bulge before returning to a "normal" view.
I'm ready to backtrack to 10.6.3 and Safari 4!!!

Can't enable FIPS after 34.0.5 update

When Firefox updated to the latest version all of my saved passwords disappeared. After a lot of trial and error I found the only way to recover my passwords was to restore Firefox from a backup and disable FIPS before updating. However, now I have updated to 34.0.5 I cannot re-enable FIPS. The instructions to enable it on Mozilla's website are outdated and do not apply to the latest version. The enable FIPS option is still there in security devices but when it is clicked nothing happens, except my passwords disappear again until I restart Firefox, and FIPS remains disabled. Does anyone know of a fix?

After downloading three app updates today, I find that I can no longer rearrange my app icons.
I hold the icon I wish to move and slide my finger once the icons begin to boogie but the image of the icon I'm moving is delayed by a full page distance from my directing finger. Then when I release my touch, the icon I'm trying to move simply snaps back into its previous location.
I've rebooted, reset, and resynced to no avail.
I sure hope I don't have to repeatedly go through the restore cycle to correct this problem.
Also, the backup while resyncing takes forever after this icon problem appeared. Is my iTunes calling home with excessive error reports the cause of this slowness?
Is the app update software is failing to write to disk correctly? There sure seems to be a corrupting influence somewhere in this updating process.
Can anyone offer a cure or even a clue here?

Message (iMessage) can't log in after email change

I recently had to change me Apple ID email address.
I went through the process Of logging out, deleting and logging back in with the correct email address to all the icloud services. Things like FaceTime iCloud time-sharing etc.
I have had no problems with anything on iPhone but then on iPad I cannot login to messages. I tried everything but the old email address was somehow tied to the login screen so I could not login.
As I could not find an answer I find Apple support and the answer was (easy of course) don't try and login with the settings app, but just opened the messages app on the iPad. This then has the option to change the email and login as normal.
The anser was easy (of course) instead of using the settings app, open the actual messages app and this has the ability to change the email address!
I posted this here just in case anyone else has the same trouble and couldn't find an answer just like I couldn't :-)

Did that and now it is asking for security questions that I don't remember answering. Tried to get an email through to support but I can't get an address to send to, the system just keeps looping my around with no resolve to be found. I think they should make it easier to contact them.
