Cannot login after upgrade

Seems to have been covered elsewhere, but not quite the same issue.
Updated to latest verison of Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro and Mac Pro in preparation for installing Lion.
Installed Lion on MBP which all went perfectly and been using it for a week without problem. So, time to install on the Mac Pro.
First, installed it on a blank external disk connected to Mac Pro, as an emergency disk. At the end the MP would boot from that drive and I could log in with the single admin account that I had created. Looking good so far.
Rebooted into SL and installed Lion again, but on the main disc. No errors and was finally presented with the login screen, listing all the correct users. Selected a mobile user account (account is on local SL server) and I was able to type in the password, but then when pressing return (or clicking arrow on RHS of text box) the arrow is replaced with a spinning daisy wheel which spins forever.
Logged in remotely (which works fine) and rebooted machine. Tried to login with a local admin account, but same problem. I can however login in with the Guest account, but if I try to switch users to another more useful account, it's just a big grey blank screen.
So there is something up with Lion being able to log in to those existing accounts.
I tried to boot into safe mode (from the main HD), I get the progress bar which seems to be Lion's way of saying it's starting in safe mode, but then a while after the progress bar completes and vanishes, it reboots all by itself. If i just let it boot and try and login, I'm stuck again (it's obviously NOT in safe mode) and if I hold down shift again while rebooting, I get the progress bar and eventually another auto reboot and so on. IOW, it is NOT possible to fully safe boot.
Since the MBP contained the exact same accounts and it was bouind to the same server when it was upgraded, I cannot understand why it's such a problem on the MP, yet working perfectly on the MBP. Anyone shed any light on this?

Since my original post, I've re-installed Lion, but no improvement. I then clered out the caches as indicated elsewhere - no change. I then noticed that the Little Snitch utility was exiting and respawning continually so I moved out all LauchAgents and LaunchDaemons except for an Apple one for disc repair that also exists on my MacBook Pro on which I can login perfectly. The others did not exist on the MBP so I'm thinking they are the cause.
Even though I now don't have the error messages in /var/log/system.log about Little Snitch, it still gets stuck in the same place with the following entries:
Aug 8 19:08:17 macpros SecurityAgent[118]: Login Window login proceeding

Aug 8 19:08:18 macpros com.apple.netauth.sys.gui[161]: _RegisterApplication(), FAILED TO establish the default connection to the WindowServer, _CGSDefaultConnection() is NULL.
Anyone suggest what is going wrong here?

Cannot login after upgrading to Apex 3.1.2

I have installed the oracle-xe-10.2.1-1.0.i386.rpm onto a RedHat server using
]# rpm -ivh oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm
Then I configure the database
]# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
Then I enable remote access
EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCESS (FALSE);
This appears to work properly and I can log into the Apex page at http://server:8080/apex/apex_admin
After this install I'm attempting to upgrade to Apex 3.1.2 and have attempted this several times. Each time, the result is that I can bring up the web page, but cannot authenticate. All that I see is "error on page" at the bottom left of the window. (IE6 or Firefox).
To complete the upgrade I do the following.
]$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> @apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
After the install runs the last few lines are
Upgrade completed successfully no errors encountered.

I have then stopped and restarted the oracle-xe
Then I have logged back in with sqlplus / as sysdba
and run
@apxxepwd.sql or @apxchpwd (different attempts at the install)
After all of this appearing to run successfully, I cannot log into either the basic apex screen or the apex admin screen.
When it has failed, I have uninstalled the RPM and deleted the remanant folder.
Then re-installed from scratch.
I'm new to oracle, and any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. I get the followin errors while trying your suggestions.

Cannot login after upgrade to 10.5.5 launchd[1] failed

I am not able to login to leopard after the 10.5.5 upgrade. the screen stall at the mac logo and the spinning wheel. I was not able to login in safemode. I logged in using the installation disk and did a disk and permission repair to no avail. I logged in using verbose mode and this is the message that i got (repeated all the time):

any help is much appreciated

Hi Fred_Oregon,
Usually the only reason it will ask you to reboot is if there is a file that must be modified that the updater doesn't currently have access to. You should try running the Firefox program once as Administrator:
* Right-click the icon and choose ''Run as Administrator''
If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.
# Download a fresh copy of Firefox from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/fx/ Mozilla download page] and save the file to the desktop.
# [[Uninstalling Firefox|Uninstall]] your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before running the new installer.
# Run installer
Remember that you don't want to remove personal data when uninstalling. That way you'll still have your personal information.
Hopefully this helps!

Mac pro cannot boot after upgrade to 10.8.3

My Mac Pro cannot boot after upgrade to 10.8.3. Anything firmware I can reset or how should I do.
I am using a early 2008 Mac Pro

Can you boot into safe mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
If not, how about Recovery? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
If you can, run Disk Utlity and repair the disk. You can try rebooting normally, but I would just reinstall after quitting Disk Utility.

Failure: Cannot login after Lion 10.7.2 update

I cannot login after performming the update realeased today.
After boot, at the login screen, I see the user in the circles. Upon selecting a user, entering the password, the spinning circle below the Apple appears. It spins for a few mnutes, then return with a NOT symbol as the spinner contues to spin endlessly. After a while, the fan kicks into overdrive.
I tried to do the boot in recovery, start terminal, resetpassword, restart, login as root steps, but do not see an option to login as root upong restart - just the User circle icon.

I have a similar problem, but it looks like I have solved it.
I rebooted holding down ommand-R to get to the recovery-HD mode. From there I chose the options to re-install Lyon (requires internett access because it downloads a new copy).
Since I have multiple disks attached (the internal and a bootable backup drive) it asked which disk I wanted to use. When I chose the internal drive it told me it was locked and asked for the FileVault unlock code. After that things seemed to proceed properly.
I suspect that the problem is in some way tied to my use of FileVault.

I cannot connect after upgrading Firefox. I work in corporate environment and cannot change security settings. Why this feature was not tested before upgrading to current version?

I cannot connect to ANY web sites (for example, yahoo, google, etc.

Can't login after upgrade to 10.6.8

Hi
I am stuck in a login loop after upgrading from 10.6.4 to 10.6.8, the Login window accepts the password, the screen clears and after a short delay the login window reappears.
Some background info:
this is a 2010 iMac 21.5"
I have replaced a failed drive with a new one, reinstalled 10.6.4 with the install disc that came with the Mac
Did a successful Time Machine restore where the computer would boot and desktop and files were all intact.
A couple of programs complained about the OS needing updating so I used the Update feature to download and install 10.6.8
Now I cannot get past the logon screen.
Any suggestions to get past this screen?
thanks
Bob

Hi Eric
Thanks for your continued help
I borrowed another 10.6.4 DVD and have now managed to install 10.6.4 and update it to 10.6.8 and no longer have the logon loop issue. I've also verified/repaired the disc and repaired the file permissions successfully.
Time Machine has restored the desktop, all the music files are there, Photo's are there and Google Picassa runs, but little else.
Safari complains I have the wrong version of OSX and will not run so I can't browse the net (typing this on my laptop)
iTunes reports it requires 10.7.5 or later as do most other apps I've tried.
Fortunately Finder works, I've run the Software Update and it says I have the latest updates.
If I click on 'App Store', the store opens ok but the only Upgrade option I now see is to Yosemite, if I select that the App Store screen gives a spinning pointer and never does anything, I have to force quit through finder to get out of it.
any suggestions as to what to try next?
thanks
Bob

After installing Yosemite, cannot login after wake from sleep mode

After upgrading to Yosemite this morning, I've had the problem that after the computer goes into sleep mode, I cannot log back in to use the computer because I can't enter my user password. The screen looks fine after I press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse (I see the users and where I would type my password), but mouse clicks do not allow me to activate the password box (however, I do see the mouse pointer and can move it), and any buttons pressed on the keyboard have no effect. If I shut the computer down, I can login without problem. Any thoughts on how to resolve this? I'd hate to have to turn the computer off every time I step away for 10 minutes...

Wiki won't accept OD user logins after upgrading to server 3.1.1

I have an OS X server 3.x running on OS X 10.9.3. I have several WiKi users, most are OpenDirectory (neiwork) users and one is a 'local' user. Prior to the weekend I was running Server 3.0.3 and all was good. Since uograding to Server 3.1.1 none of the network/OD users can log in to their Wikis. The local user can log in just fine. The network users can log in to all their other servcies (Mail, Calendar,Contacts, SMB/AFP shares etc.) just fine. They can also log into my regular SSL web-site which requires passwords. Only the wiki login is broken.
In the collabd.dlog file I see:
May 21 19:28:20 anarion.home.thejenkinsfamily.org.uk collabd[3747] <Error>: [CSAuthService.m:316 5b04000 +0ms] Digest did not validate
May 21 19:28:20 anarion.home.thejenkinsfamily.org.uk collabd[3747] <Error>: [CSServiceDispatcher.m:260 5b04000 +0ms] Caught exception "Invalid Credentials" [CSAuthBadDigest] executing [http]Request{AuthService.validateUsernameAndPasswordDigest:remember:(<<scrubbe d>>)}:
followed by an exception stack trace.
But of course the credential are valid.
Anyone seen this? Any ideas on how to fix it? Might it be fixed in the 3.1.2 update that came out a few days ago (I have not updated to that as yet)?
Thanks,
Chris

Okay, this problem has re-surfaced (on server 3.1.2). Here are the symptoms:
1.    It only affects network (Open Directory) users. It affects all network users.
2.    It only affects the Wiki service; OD users can authenticate for all other services (Mail, Contacts, Calendar, VPN, Time Machine, OS X login on client machines) without problem.
3.    Stopping and restarting the Wiki Servcie and the OD servcie does not fix the problem, but rebooting the server does. Things will then be fine for a while (I have not yet quantified how long 'a while' is) and then the problems occurs again.
4.    When the problem is present, even a newly created user cannot login to the Wiki servcie.
5.    When the login failure occurs, the collabd.log file contains the following:

Folio Builder - cannot login after changing password

Hi all,
I changed my password at acrobat.com, now I cannot login with the new password from the Folio Builder panel in InDesign CS5.5. I'm on Mac OSX 10.6.8. Basically, the panel shows "Signing in..." and the endlessly spinning wheel, which means it's hanging and doesn't let me re-enter my login credentials.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Folio Builder and Overlay Creator tools, and am running the latest versions of each.I've also tried trashing the INDD preferences. No luck. I'd like to avoid uninstalling/reinstalling InDesign CS5.5, but if that's the only solution, I'll do it.
I did create a new user on my machine and that worked — I was able to login successfully with my new login credentials. But moving my production files and recreating all my settings from my account to this new one would take a while, so I wanted to see if there was another solution.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Jason

Hi John,
Yes, I can login successfully there. The problem also appears to be with the CS Review and Access CS Live panels in InDesign.
When I initially open the Folio Builder, I get the error dialog "Sign In had failed. [svr.InvalidLogin]". The CS Review and Access CS Live panels also report an internal error.
This happens in both InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 (both installed on the same computer). Could the CS5.5 and CS5 panels be sharing that info? I haven't uninstalled/reinstalled the panels from CS5, just from CS5.5, which might explain the error, if I need to also uninstall the CS5 panels/extensions.
Thanks,
Jason

Can't login after upgrading to leapord

My accounts show up but when I click on one to enter my password I get the beach ball I've let it run for 20 minutes but the beach ball stays... Am I screwed?

I wanted to post as well so Apple can be assured there is a problem. I am also having the same password issues, after upgrading... only one "backup" non-admin account is accessible. I am positive I am typing everything correctly. Also, when I "log out" of this user, I get the blue screen and the "forever" beach ball as well.
Thanks goodness a friend of mine mentioned he was going to test the new system on his laptop first before installing on his main work computer. I decided to do the same. Good thing I did. I can only imagine the problems that are going to erupt after many people receive their upgrades today.
I am going to try the suggestions listed here - *thank you to those that posted* - even though some of the answers are making my head spin . I am beyond aggravated and disappointed that I am having such an issue and I haven't even gotten into using the new system. This is not the Apple I know and love.

Cannot Login after 10.4.11 Upgrade

I recently upgraded my G4 Quicksilver Power Mac from 10.3.9 to Tiger. The install DVD was for 10.4.6. The DVD installed fine, then I ran the system updater to get the remaining 10.4 updates. It updated Java no problem, then the Mac OS X Update Combined (PowerPC) came back with an error saying the digital signature is incorrect. I then went to the Apple Support Downloads site, and attempted to download an update with Safari. I tried the combos for 10.4.8 thru 10.4.11, and all of them failed verification after attempting to open the download. Very strange. So I went to my macbook, downloaded the 10.4.11 combo update ok, and put it on the G4 with a thumb drive. It opened the dmg file fine, I ran the update, and the system re-booted. At some point before the login screen, it hung up and I had to power it down. After restarting, it now gets to the login screen, and sits there until I move the mouse pointer into the login window. It then hangs there with the spinning beachball. I'm not able to login at all. Same problem when booting in Safe Mode. I've used the DVD to startup the system, and can access the HD using a terminal window. I ran the disk utility, and the HD is fine. I looked at the system.log and don't see anything there that I can identify as something I can fix. There is a segmentation fault at time 22:57:47. I'm including the log below, maybe someone can get something from it. I thought I'd try to re-install the 10.4.11 combo update, and haven't been able to mount the dmg file while running off the DVD. To do that I need to create a root directory on the HD, but it's read-only when running from the DVD. While in the hung login state, I cannot remotely login to the G4 using ssh from my macbook.
So at this point I'm stuck short of trying to re-install from the DVD using the option to archive the current OS before install (the installer recognizes that it is now at 10.4.11, and so it won't do a normal simple install again.) I'd really like to try to fix what is there or figure out how to re-run the 10.4.11 update, before doing the archive/install/10.4.11 update again. Don't want to do all that and end up in the same place.
I'm hoping someone can give me some ideas. Below are the system profile and the system.log. Sorry for the long post. Thanks!!

Have you tried starting in Safe Mode (hold shift key down while starting, be very patient).
[Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
[What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564]
[Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
[Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5 - Computer shuts down during Safe Boot|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24054]
Safe boot mode runs a directory check command similar to that used by Disk Utility's repair. In Tiger it ignores some stored information (cache) that is normally read that speeds up the boot process, and it moves some other caches to the trash. It also uses only System fonts and disables all Startup Items, third party items, and any Login Items.

Mac book pro freezes at login after upgrade to mavericks

Hi Peeps,
I'm new to Apple and this is my first Mac Book Pro... I bought it Oktober last year...
Today i wanted to upgrade to Mavericks... All went well, the mac installed... and now it is done.... The system launches until the login screen and then freezes... I've been reading about it on al possible forums... Don't know what to do and in two days i leave abroad again far away from civilization... this mac is my only connection to home and the normal world so yes..i'm a bit desperate
I tried the cmd+R thing to reinstall the OS X - same result...
Bit afraid to do this erase thing cause i'm not sure to do it right - cannot really afford to loose data on this pc apart from the OS.
Stupid me i didn't make a backup with Time machine or something else... can anyone please help me out here ????
Any advice is welcome...
Thanks all !!
Luc

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Stuck at KDE login, after upgrading

I just upgraded my pc. After I finished, I rebooted my computer. However, the KDE can not started.
It gave me the following the error: /var/log/error.log
Abnormal termination of greeter for display...
kdm received unknown or unexpected command from greeter...
Then, I comment GreeterUID=kdm in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
Then, I restarted the KDE, it started succussfully. However, now when i try to login(kdm), the screen goes black for a second and just returns back to the login screen.
I check the /var/log/error.log and it gives me this error:
Cannot load /usr/share/apps/kdm/faces/.default.face: No such file or directory
I check this folder, and I found it does not exist.
Any help would be appreaciated. I am working on an eassy, which should be submitted by tomrrow.

Well, I don't have an immediate solution, but maybe I can get you through tomorrow.
First, stop KDE (well KDM) like you did, just don't restart it.
Log in, as your user, to a console.
enter the command startkde

Cannot login after upgrade
