Cannot Login my Mini Mac

I did not realize the ramifications at the time, but I changed the name listed on the "home" icon listed on the hard drive. The name on the icon was my log-on name.
The system soon informed me that my keychain could not be located and asked me to cancel, or go to default. I chose default. Now it makes me log in as a new user and I cannot any of my files, photos, e-mail, etc.
How can I log-in and get back to my files?

If you are trying to do that from the Accounts pane of System Preferences, you can't; it needs to be done in the Finder or another file manager.
If you are using the Finder, give the folder with your files a temporary name before renaming the one with the house icon, or move the folder with the house icon to another location before renaming the other one.

    Hello decetini,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what I understand is that your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes on your Windows PC.  To troubleshoot this issue, please follow the troubleshooting steps in the article below:

  • How can I login to the Mac App Store?

    My wife cannot login to the Mac App Store on her MacBook Pro.  This first happened under Snow Leopard and is now happening under Lion.  I have googled extensively for a solution, but not yet found one that lasts long term.  We have binned a Networkinterfaces.plist a few times and this has given us temporary access to the App Store, but now it's lost it again and we can't even find the plist to bin it!
    The error message we get when trying to login to the Mac App Store is, "your device or computer could not be verified".
    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Thanks for that suggestion. I'll remember it for next time.  We seem to have got temporary reprieve, which we think might be due to resolving a conflict between iCal and MobileMe.

  • Cannot login to .me or .mac accounts on ichat

    Hi,
    I am using OS X mountain lion 10.7.5. When I recently updated my software, it asked me to install ichat (which I did). My problem is that I cannot login to either .me or .mac accounts to see my contacts. I use the same username and password as the one I used to login in to apple's store and itunes. None of them work. How can I log in to these account to get my contact list? I should mention that I can login to icloud just fine as well as all other apple sites and services except ichat.

    Hi,
    This thread is iChat and tagged with "iChat".
    You mention you have Lion which would be iChat 6 and the Message Beta has run out now.
    From there I surmised you were logging your AIM valid Apple IDs into the AIM servers.
    Nothing has happened to any or all of your iMessages contacts (Unless you have deleted your Address Book)
    However you do now need Mountain Lion to login to the iMessages servers (and the Messages app that does that bit for you).

    I cannot get the new mac mini to wake from sleep and trigger the displays - this is the second mac mini I have had and both have had the same issues. It worked before on my macbook extremely well...
    Using 2 displays, connected via HDMI and thunderbolt
    Been on to support a number of times now - is anyone experiencing the same issues?

    BUMP.
    I actually showed this to Apple geniuses when I took my computer to the apple store, and it's still here. In console it says:
    kernel[0]: Previous Shutdown Cause: -128
    I don't know if that's related or not, but maybe helps?

  • Mac OS X Server : cannot login

    I have a Mac OS X server 10.9.5.
    Since a recent update of the Server App, I have the following problems :
    - cannot login via imap and smtp to my server
    - cannot "connect as" my self in Finder any more to see my home directory on the server from an Imac Server running also OS X 10.9.5
    my server is accessed for the email as mail.agilebuild.com and when I connect from the IMac it is known as "agilebuild.local".
    I think that I might have called the server ilantoutseul.agilebuild.com back when I set up Open Directory.
    I see the following messages in /var/log/system.log
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi Antoine,
    According to this log at least the time between the server and client is off.
    Dec  7 14:03:12 192.168.1.79 kdc[57]: Too large time skew, client time 2014-12-07T13:53:17 is out by 595 > 300 seconds -- [email protected]
    Verify that both the client and the server have the same time, otherwise kerberos will not work.
    Then open the terminal.app on your server and show us the output of:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    It will not change anything just give a reply about the hostname of your server.
    That will give us more info on how to fix your problem.
    Goodluck

  • N97 mini - Cannot login to Twitter or my Webmail A...

    why is it, that with my brand new super cool :-) N97 mini I cannot login to my Twitter Account nor to my Webmail Account?
    Both would not recognize my User ID oder my Password?
    What should I do? Ist a question of settings? I allowed already basically everything.. 
    Thanks

    Hi, firstly can we assume that the handset will connect to the web with the standard web browser. If so all you need to do is enter your login and password correctly and they will work just as they would on a PC. Suggest you use non-predictive txt and enter very carefully, particulaly on password. Also suggeat trying the new Nokia social messaging client from Nokia beta labs, works well for twitter and facebook and works as a widget on your homescreen. Also you may find logins to be easier to enter with QWERTY keyboard. If the phone will not login to any site at all, then you need to return to supplier.
    Good Luck

  • Login failure on Mac Pro

    I cannot login to my my '09 Mac Pro. Ive tried restoring the system from my time machine backup, restoring my system from the back DVD that came with my Mac Pror, fixing the disk permissions, and performing disk repairs. None of these thing have allowed me to login.
    Here is some more background
    My Mac Pro has three diffent HD volumes: a 40G SSD boot volume, a 640g Seagate HD that has my var/usr diretories, and applications directory on it, and a 150g Final Cut Scratch drive that has my Final Cut Express projects on it. The SSD drive and the Seagate HD both get backed up via time machine to a 2TB external Fire Wire drive. I am running Snow Leopard on this machine. There are only two accounts on the machine, mine, and my wifes.
    My Mac Pro normally stays on all the time, this is mainly to support Itunes and my Apple TV. The only times it gets rebooted is when I have to do an update that requires one.
    So yesterday I woke my Mac Pro up, and discovered that my wall paper image was gone. I thought this was kind of puzzling, so then I quick switched over to my wife's account on the machine. It was there I notieced that a mail window that she had open contained nothing but NULL characters. This lead me to reboot the machine, and that turned out to be a mistake. Now, after a reboot, the login screen comes up, and it will accept my password, then I see a the blue login bar, and an error message comes up telling me that it cannot login at this time, and that an error occured upon login. Both accounts on the machine give the same login behavior, even after mutiple attemps to restore the system.
    It will boot onto the backup DVD that came with the machine. I can run terminals from here, and I know just enough bash shell commands to be dangerous. From the terminal, I did discover that the name of my 640g HD that contains the var/usr directories had been changed. I think my 22 month old son who loves anything with buttons may have been responsible for this.
    I suspect that somehow the connection between the Operating system on the SSD drive and the user information on the 640g HD has somehow been broken. When I ran the Disk Utility tools, errors were found on the 640g HD.
    Would changing the name of the volume that contains the var/usr diretories screw up the login process? Where can I find the login logs so I can try to figure out what is going on? Could I use the terminal in single user mode to create a new admin account, so I could at least get the machine to login to the GUI?
    I can boot the machine into single user mode, and I still remember some of my VI from college, so I think I can browse logs. I also should note that when I did my system restores, it only restored the files on my SSD drive.
    Thanks in advance,
    C. Alan

    Ok I fixed it.
    For the purposes of helping someone else in the future, I will document how I did it.
    The problem was that the volume that the had the user directory on it had accidentally been renamed. I think the culprit responsible for that was my almost 2 year old son. So when the computer went to boot up, in the user setup it was looking in the wrong place for user information. Thus, the login error.
    There are two ways to fix this (btw, this works for OSX 10.6):
    The first way...
    1. If you know what the name of the volume is supposed to be, you can boot the computer using the back DVD, and let the install progress to the point to where you find the current Volume name that has your user folder in it. Write down the current volume name, and then cancel the install.
    2. Then go to the utility menu, and open a terminal session. you then need to type in:
    diskutil rename "current volume name" "old volume name"
    In my case, my current volume name that my user directory was in was called "ALSKJD", and the old Volume name was "Macintosh HD". After I ran this command, it reset the name of the volume my user directory back to Machintosh HD. Just as a note. If you user volume name had spaces in it, you will need to use quotes around the name.
    Reboot the machine, and hopefully, all will be well.
    Now the Second Way.
    1. Now suppose you really don't remember what the volume name was? This was the problem I had, and because I had no user files on the boot drive, I couldn't boot the computer at all. Well there is a way to creating a new Admin account on a mac without booting into the operating system. As described above, you need to boot the computer with a backup DVD, and open a terminal session.
    2. Then type in:
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    Then reboot the machine. You should see the intro video and be guided through setting up an account on the machine. Then you can use this new login to boot into OSX, and fix the broken user paths using the preference panel.
    What the above command does is to erase a file that OSX places in the db directory after you first setup your machine. Erasing this file (thats what 'rm' does) will make OSX assume that the computer is being booted for the first time, and it goes through the routine of setting up an admin account.

  • Safari is really slow in my mini Mac

    Hi!
    I hope somebody may help me figure out what i can do with my computer.
    - It is a mini Mac
    - OS X Version 10.9.2
    - Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    - Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (what ever that may mean!)
    I have had it for almost 1.5 years, and for almost one year, Safari gets really slow, sometimes. Sometimes it works great, as if nothing, and sometimes it is so slow i cannot open any website at all.
    Emails download fine, and other programms download fine at the same time that safari is not working, so i dont think it is the internet. Also, other devises using the same internet work fine.
    Google chrome works fine, but i dont like using it because it takes too much RAM in the long term, and i have problems with Google Chrome in some websites like my bank. Firefox also works normally fine, but i also prefer the say Safari works (when it works)
    I have checked the Start up. There is no programme running in when automatically when i Log in my account.
    I have checked the Activity Monitor, and even though it is running a lot of programms that i dont really know, none of them is over 0%. And right now only Safari and Google Chrome are running over 2%. Google Chrome sometimes is taking over 30% CPU and hte Google Chrome Helper also, but normaly it takes less than 5%. Safari says many times, but they are all around 2%.
    I have read that the "kernel_task" (which i also dont know what it is) takes a lot of Memory RAM. In my computer it is using around 400 MB, which is 5 times more than the programme following it which is Safari with 80Mb. Seems a bit much, it i doubt that it is what is really slowing down the computer.
    Could it be a virus?
    Hoping that somebody may help. Thank you in advance!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load 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. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up 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 startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • How to allow multiple users login to a MAC PRO without interruption?

    I have a mac pro, which runs Yosemite, (2013 module) to be used as a server. However, I have difficult to let multiple users to use the mac simultaneously.
    Objective:
        One person uses the mac directly on his desktop, while the others to login remotely though VNC from PC (win 7/Linux).
        The users have their own workspace, and they will not interrupt each other.
    What I tried:
        I created two mange accounts on the MAC.
        Account 1 was used to directly login on the mac desktop.
        Account 2 was used to login to the mac from a PC though VNC. (I also tried this from a Centos workstation with the Tiger VNC viewer)
    Problem:
    When account 2 is login, the location monitor will automatically change to that account as well. Both accounts shared exactly the same screen, mouse & keyboard actions. It is impossible to let multiple users to use the MAC pro simultaneously without interruptions.
    If I use "hdiutil attach" to mount a dmg file though SSH with account 2, the folder will automatically show in the local desktop login with account 1.
    Question:
    I read something about the "Per-user screen sharing". It says, "You can remotely log into a Mac with any user account on that computer and control it, without interrupting someone else who might be using the computer under a different login." Is it possible to do this from a PC or Linux client?
    If the problem is simply due to the poor functionality of the build-in VNC service in Yosemite, I appreciate your help to suggest some other decent VNC server for Yosemite. I know the Vine Server (OSXvnc), but I failed to install it on the mac because it is incompatible with the Yosemite.
    Does the SSH is supposed to work in this way in OSX? I mean the local account can see the folder mounted by another account though SSH.
    If any specific version of Yosemite is required to allow multiple users to access a mac simultaneously? Just as the win 7 professional allow only one user to login in at each time. But with the remote desktop server of windows, multiple users are able to use the same computer at the same time without any problem.
    If you familiar with any of the above questions, please help. Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.
    I know the best way to get the solution is to direct call the apple support. However, it is really not easy to call them. Because it always results with long waiting time and then the people pick up the phone will transfer my call to an expert who will make me to describe the problem again.
    Since I'm not interested in the technique details of all the problems, it is also grateful if you would provide a direct instruction to let me setup the computer for the purpose.
    Thanks you very much for your kindly help.

    I cannot help with the screen sharing, although I have just tried it with a RealVNC client on an iPad and it seemed to work OK.
    However on the disk showing on all users desk tops have you unchecked the "ignore ownership on this volume" check box? You can check the drives permissions with CMD i command.
