Cannot Log In After Update to 10.6.6

Title says it all. After the update to 10.6.6, I now get a log in box which reverts back to the log in box after I choose my user id and type in the password. There are only two users on the laptop - a guest account and my account. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.

For me, I am unable to log into my account if my Mac is authenticating against my Active Directory domain controller. If I am quick, and I can enter my password as soon as the prompt comes up, before the Mac has talked to the DC, it will let me log in. If not, I need to log in as the local admin account, disable my wifi connection, log out and log into my account and re-enable the wifi.
Doing this will get me logged in, but if I do anything that requires further authentication (installing apps, su in terminal etc), the authentication will fail unless I disable the wifi first. Quite a PITA, to say the least!
It seems that once I am logged in, I am able to connect to shares on the server, but running apps that access files on the shares, they seem to lock up frequently.
Is there a way to report this bug directly to Apple? Or do we just have to hope that they see this thread and fix it?

TS4002 Cannot locate iCloud after updating to iOS 6

Is the AppleID listed in Settings --> Store and Settings --> iCloud the same?
If it is a totally different ID and not a slight variation of yours, I would definitely take it back to the store. You may have bought a returned item that had been setup previously.

MobileMe cannot log in after Lion update

Note, This is my first post here, as i have never had a problem with any of my mac devices for over 6 years.
iMac 27 core duo 8GBram. after upgrading to Lion, waiting for spotlight to re-index, etc. evrything seemed fine, until i tried loggin into mobileme. Validation Error. ok, I reset all keychinas. No luck. opened a new user, no luck. strange part is... iDisk loads fine, email works perfect, even my contacts are being sent to all my devices, ipad2, iphone 4 x2.... still cannot log into mobileme through preferences. tried for 2 days. validation error... WTH?
anyone with any ideas? went through all the standard procedures.. but i am not very IT minded.
thank you kindly for any suggestions,
m. flowers

First try booting while holding down the 'shift' key to boot into 'safe mode'....you will still be prompted for your password....I am hoping it will be accepted there...
If not follow the instructions in this link...

Cannot Log in after Leopard update

I updated to Leopard. The installation was completed, but now I click on my name to log in, enter my password, and then the log in screen appears again. I repeat the process and it is a continuous loop? The DVD is still in the system. I cannot log in? What can I do?

If your CD is still in the drive, you need to restart your computer while holding the "C" key. You may need to hold the key for a couple minutes. This will bring up the installation again. You will need to indicate that you want to Archive and Install under Options when you upload. On a side note, it is my understanding that you can hold your mouse button while restarting your computer and that will act as your eject button for the DVD drive if you can't get into your system. But, the archive and install does work!

Cannot get mail after updating to 10.8.3

After updating to OS X 10.8.3 I cannot get e-mail any more with Mail. I can send e-mail though. If I log in to the web interface I can see my new email waiting on the server. Is there any workaround to fix it?

It is fixed from the time I signed in to the iCloud. (?) Can someone from Apple explain it?
Thanks to sanjayfromtoronto for his help!

Cannot send email after update on iphone 5

cannot send email from one account after update, states my password and/or user name incorrect. I have it written down,it's not incorrect.

After the iOS 7 update, in order to send email from my iPhone5 and my daughters (also from our iPads) I had do follow Apples reset instructions. Hold the HOME buttton and the START/AWAKE button until your device restarts and you see the Apple logo when your device restarts. You do not have to swipe the message bar which shows up sometimes as your iPhone is shutting down. Sadly to say, but on my daughters iPhone 5, I had to do this 5 times.
If you live near an Apple store, make them do it so that someone at Apple will send a fix for other people. I looked for a simple way to contact Apple and there is none. There is a series of prompts and links that are time consuming to be able to reach support about even a simple problem.

Cannot download Iphoto after updated to Yosemite

I cannot update Iphoto anymore after updated to Yosemite. The system popped up a small window and showed that: update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. But it is my own account, I just changed the password.
Please help me to solve this problem.

That means, that your AppleID is not associated with the iPhoto version you have installed.
Which version of iPhoto do you currently have? Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID (in the Store" menu).
If iPhoto came preinstalled on your Mac, check the "Purchases" tab of the App Store, if there is an "Accept" button besides iPhoto. If yes, accept iPhoto to associate it with your Apple ID. Then try again to update.
If that does not work, uninstall iPhoto - move the iPhoto app from the Applications folder to the Trash and then go to the "Featured" tab of the App Store, search for iPhoto using the Search field, then press the "Get" button to install iPhoto again, this time with your current AppleID:

I cannot run iPhoto after update to Yosemite. I cannot update iPhoto because the application store does not have any iPhoto update available. Anyone can advice how to overcome this hassle?

After update to Yosemite 10.10.3 the iPhoto program icon is banned and there is an error message that an update is required to run iPhoto, but the application store shows a message that iPhoto does not have any update available at this time. There is not even any iPhoto program available on the application store. Any suggestion on how to solve this annoyance?

Unfortunately, Apple has removed both iPhoto and Aperture from the Mac App Store so they cannot be downloaded anymore. This means you are forced to migrate to Photos (included in OS X 10.10.3) or, if this app does not include features you need, look for a different app.
Not true. Apple has removed both Apps from App Store so you cannot buy them anymore. But if you have any of these Apps already purchased in the past, then you can still download them on your Mac.

Open App Store, sign in with your Apple ID and go to Purchases tab. If you see iPhoto app listed there close down the App Store and do this steps as this is what worked for me:
Open Finder and go to Applications folder.
Locate iPhoto app
Drag iPhoto app from your Applications folder to Trash (NOTE: Do not emptied Trash yet)
Open App Store app and navigate to Purchases tab.
Click on Install button which is next to the iPhoto app (on the right hand side).
Once iPhoto is downloaded again, test it if its working for you. If all is ok, you can remove your Trash.

Cannot log in after clean install of Server 10.5.5

Excuse my lack of organization in this post, but i am a bit fried right now from trying to figure this out.
After installing OS X Server 10.5.5 via firewire (from mac mini) to the stock ATA HD in an upgraded G4, I cannot log into the system admin account that was created during the initial setup. I know im typing it exactly correct (what i entered in setup). The setup runs flawlessly and will log into the account after setup is complete, but after a reboot (to get the G4 out of Target disc mode), no dice.
I have even created another admin account (non system admin) during the time i had the option in setup and cannot log into that either. Setting it to auto log in isn't working either, yet other changes i make (such as showing restart and shutdown buttons) are effective after reboot
The only explaination that i can come up with is the way i am rebooting the system after setup is complete (rebooting via power button as shutting down from the apple applet will not shut down the machine in TDM) Obviously, this isn't a best practice, but will it screw up the login creds every time? I have reinstalled the OS 3 times and get the same result.
If it is the way im rebooting the box, does anyone have a better suggestion of getting it out of TDM after the install and setup?

Download and run Pacifist on the system install disks that came with the computer to look for iPhoto. If you find it Pacifist can extract and install iPhoto.
Also if iPhoto came with the computer originally then look for the file shown in this screenshot and use it to install iPhoto:

Cannot log in after archive and install

Hello, everyone. ive been searching the support pages of the apple site for an hour and i cannot seem to find a resolution to this...
I just peformed an archive and install ad now i cannot log in. i think this happened once before and i called apple support and i was told to log in as root. the problem i am having is that the login window does not give me the option to change the user field, it only allows me to type a password. every time i type my password, the login screen shakes. so even if i wanted to type root into the user field, i cant. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
p.s. i was running tiger but lost my tiger disc so i am using the disc that originally came with my g5 which has panther on it...

Hi, Dayna.
1. Be sure the Caps Lock key isn't active: passwords are case sensitive. You may see an exclamation point on the right side of the password field if the Caps Lock key is engaged.
2. There was a similar problem if one performed an Archive and Install (A&I) of Jaguar (10.2) over Panther (10.3): see "Can't log in after installing Mac OS X 10.2 over 10.3." I've not heard of a similar problem with performing and A&I of Panther over Tiger, but it may be related. However, before trying the advice therein to perform the A&I without selecting "Preserve Users and Network Settings" you'd need to have a backup of your data, otherwise you risk losing everything in your account. IMO, the most expedient solution would be to buy a replacement Mac OS X Tiger disc. If there is an Apple Retail Store in your area, that would be the quickest place to purchase one.
Good luck!

HT1430 What to do if the message shows "cannot activate iphone" after updating ios5?

After updating to ios5, got the message "no sim card". I turn off and restart, then reset language, country or region, connect to itune, "cannot activate iphone" I dont know what's going on?

There are several possibilites:
Your security software (antivirus and firewall) is preventing iTunes from communicating with Apple's Activation server, gs.apple.com.
You have a redirect in your hosts file for gs.apple.com. Open the hosts file and delete any lines that contain gs.apple.com. For the location of the hosts file, on a Mac it's /etc/hosts, on Windows it's c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.
Your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it from the carrier it was locked to, and updating it the phone became locked to the original carrier. For this there is no solution that can be discussed in an Apple forum.
