Cannot login to new imac

I have just received new imac. Migrated from time capsule to new imac. All seemed okay but now cannot login to any previous accounts. The password hints tell me that i am using the correct password, but no success. Have restarted computer a couple of times (when in doubt....), but still cannot get past login page. The imac did not come with a cd. Any suggestions?

I think they're open until Sundays but I'm not positive. Also if you have an Apple Store in your area then drop by and speak to a Genius, they'll help you out!
Also this Apple advice letter might help, Resetting an account password

  • Officejet 6500 e710n-z cannot connect to new iMac Mavericks 10.9.5

    I"ve had the Officejet al in one for a year or more now and it has worked fine connecting well to my old Macbookair (10.5.8) with few problems printing wirelessly. Since getting a brand new Imac with spanking new software I cannot connect. There seems to be no printer drivers in the imac so I downloaded the full HP suite. Still using
    system prefs>
    printers and scanners>
    add printer
    nothing appears. Not recognised. At all. Updated OS. REbooted printer. Reconnected to network router (BT Home hub5) form scratch. Only recognised when I attached it to USB, but as soon as I unplugged it was 'offline' despite both imac and OJ being connected to same network router. Can you help...? Your helppages simply direct me to go through the steps referred to above ie how to 'add' a new printer in the OS system prefs (which I can't as it simply does not show up unless connected by wire, which defeats the object...). 
    Thanks

    Hi @trevorpick , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you're running into printing issues.  I would like to help.
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    After the updates, I would recommend readding the printer via OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
    Once it is readded to your system, I would recommend this document on Wireless printing center Troubleshooting Issues.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Old macbook pro hdd cannot read by new iMac?

    hi, i just bought an iMac, my old macbook pro hdd i took it out and put it in a external hdd case but when i plug the usb to the imac it wont detect anything? i need to transfer my files over to the imac as my macbook pro just die on me after so many year. any advise?

    Oh. You don't really know if the drive is ok?
    It is quite possible the drive was corrupted when the mother board was acting up. So, in terms of diagnostics you need to verify the enclosure works and whether the drive is still viable.
    Do you have access to another Mac?
    How about asking the computer store folk to connect the external drive - enclosure with the drive installed - to one of their computers? Is that possible?

  • I cannot connect my new iMac desktop to my wifi

    Whenever I try, a connection timeout error pops up, even though I have full signal strength. The wifi works fine on my laptop and iPhone, but will not connect to the desktop. I am not really computer savvy, so dumbed down explanations would be awesome. I have tried to delete and readd the wifi, but it has not helped.

    I solved my own question.
    After trying everything I could think of, my MacBook said:
    "Another device in this network is using the IP-address of your computer.
    If the problem persists, change the IP-address of this computer or the IP-address of the other device."
    I then went to SETTINGS in my iPhone.
    --> WI-FI
    --> the Network I'm trying to access
    --> static
    -->IP Address
    I filled in the IP Address my internet service provider supplied me when I subscribed.
    And BINGO!!!

  • Catastrophic failure with setting up a new iMac

    I'm kind of at my wits end here. I bought my wife a new iMac to replace her 6 year old iMac. When trying to set up, using the prompt to copy from another Mac when her old one and the new one were connected with an Ethernet cable, they just couldn't find each other. Thinking that maybe the cable wasn't good, I took an Ethernet cable from our Time Capsule. However, I unplugged the cable that got us Internet from AT&T UVerse. Of course we lost our Wifi in the process. So I put the cable back. I have repeatedly recycled both the Time Capsule and the UVerse router. AirPort Utility now insists that the Ethernet connection is not there between the UVerse router and the Time Capsule. I connected my iMac by Ethernet and all is OK on my iMac. But I simply cannot restore the connection between the UVerse router and the Time Capsule. And I cannot get the new iMac and the one being replaced to recognize each other, even though they are connected by Ethernet. Given that I don't have a way to connect them by FireWire (hers has a FireWire 800, which could be used, I guess), I cannot set up her computer. And, since I can't connect her to the Ethernet, setup is not going to be completed.  So it's a bunch of problems that have rendered our household without Wifi and the inability to set up the new iMac. Anybody have any tractable solutions? Thank you.

    First off get the old iMac up and running. I am amazed that so many users have this much diffaculty.
    I AM sure you will probably need this.

    Next all you need to transfer the contents is a USB on both ends and there are several ways to do this but I find the Migration Assistant works the best. be sure you do not have any applications open on either machine when you do this.

    This will take a little time so don't get flustered.

  • Cannot login with AD credentials on iMac

    Greetings:
    I have a brand new 27" Intel iMac that had been allowing AD logins just find until today. Now, no matter what I do, unbinding, rebooting, manually joining domain (dsconfigad), etc I cannot login using my AD credentials. This had been working flawlessly until today. I can bind to AD no problem. When I go to login with my known good account, I just get the window shake. Logging in with a local account, I see error messages in the console of:
    DNS Update Failed & Enter Machine Password
    The machine account is already staged in our OU. I am not clear what the DNS error is alluding to.
    reading through these postings: http://www.macwindows.com/snowleopardAD.html
    I tried disabling creating mobile accounts at login. However that did not fix the issue.
    I believe our campus is running Win2K8 AD servers. Our campus DNS appliance is a separate box, but should know how to delegate to AD (?). The other 10.6.3 machines we have, are authenticating against AD fine.
    Any ideas?

    Marcus is correct - the ZAM administration accounts (ZAM 7.x) are stored (encrypted) within the ZAM database.
    Within ZAM 7.x there is no way to integrate this with AD (either by LDAP referral or some kind of identity / password sync) and AFAIK no plans to add this.
    I believe in the ZCM version of asset (and I hope the standalone version of ZAM10 still in dev) you set up the AD account(s) that is/are allowed Admin etc. access within ZAM, then LDAP referrals are used to authenticate via AD. I don;t know this for sure, though.

  • Cannot send nor receive email on new iMac; migrated settings from MacBook

    I just recently bought a new aluminum iMac. I migrated files & settings, including Mail settings from my MacBook to the iMac. Despite the copied settings, I cannot send nor receive messages on the new iMac. I have always been able to send & receive e-mail on my MacBook, so I would think the same settings should work on the iMac.
    I have tried Connection Doctor, and I am getting successful connections on both the POP Account and SMTP server.
    I have compared settings between the MacBook & iMac, and they are the same. My MacBook uses Tiger and doesn't have the option of default & custom ports. It is set to port 25. I have tried custom ports of 25 & 587 on the new iMac as well as the default port option. None of those seem to work.
    Is there something else that could be wrong or anything else I can try? Thanks ahead of time for any assistance.

    You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
    You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
    There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

    Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
    Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
    But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?

  • I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help

    I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format."  Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist".  Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

    Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion!  "you need to copy that file to your new computer..."  Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export.  Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)?  Copy it to and from a thumb drive?  But then place the file where?  And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)?  Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

  • Clients running OS 10.4.6 on older iMac (slot loading) cannot login

    Clients running OS 10.4.6 on older iMac (slot loading) cannot login. I get:
    “Logging into the account failed because an error occurred. The home folder for the user account is located on an AFP or SMB server. Contact your system administrator for help."
    I have eMacs and iBooks on this network running 10.4.6 and they have no problem. Also the iMacs running 10.3.9 have no problem. Since it’s machine and OS specific I’m wondering if it’s an incompatibility problem. The iMacs have the latest firmware on them. The server is a G5 running 10.4.6 server, DNS and DHCP are setup correctly and the share points are setup correctly.

    Try resetting the PMU/SMU and PRAM/NVRAM. You'd need to identify the mode of resetting depending on the model of your G5 iMac. The Apple support sites that would help you for this are –
