Cannot select an icon on login screen

Upon restart of my computer the user icons appear but I am not able to select either of the two of them so as to get the password dialog box. The trackpad will move the pointer but I am not able to select anything, icon or sleep, restart, shut down buttons.

Are you tapping to click or physically clicking the trackpad? Tapping won't work in the login screen.

Cannot select multiple iPhoto events for screen saver anymore... why?

I previously had Lion and just upgraded to Mavericks last week. My screen saver settings were wiped out (no big deal), so I went into the settings to select the events, faces, etc. I had previously selected to run. But when I went to try put things back to normal, it looks as if you can only select one event, face, etc... not multiples. Am I missing something? Or is that the way things are now?

iPhoto 9.4.3

I cannot see website icons on my screen in FastDial after updating to v 7.0.1.

Icons in the FastDial browser window are no longer visible / available. I only see the background color. I am able to add to FastDial and open into FastDial, but none are available.
I am using v 3.5b1 FastDial on Firefox 7.0.1. So all should be up to date.

I tried restore backup but it says that itunes could not restore the iPhone 4s because not enough free space is available on the iPhone.. I did it twice but it kept giving me this message. Should I go ahead and restore as new?

Can't get rid of Login Screen

I recently deleted my guest account (guest moved out, don't need it anymore). I cannot get rid of the login screen for admin (me!) though. Each time I start my iMac, it asks me for a password, even though I deleted the password. I can get in by simply hitting enter, but I'd like to get rid of the login altogether.
Can anybody help?

Hello Brooks.
1. Open System Preferences and click Accounts.
2. If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
3. Click Login Options.
4. Select the way you want users to log in (a list of users or a dialog asking for their name and password).
5. Select "Automatically log in as" if you want the computer to log one user in automatically each time it starts up. Then choose the user from the pop-up menu and enter the user's password when prompted.
If you turn automatic login on for yourself, the computer opens your account when it starts up. If you log out, other users see a login window to log into their user accounts.
Each time I start my iMac, it asks me for a password,
even though I deleted the password. I can get in by
simply hitting enter, but I'd like to get rid of the
login altogether.
IMPORTANT: Be very careful when setting up automatic login. If you turn on automatic login for yourself, another user can restart the computer and have instant access to your user account when the computer starts up again.
I don't recommend deleting or getting rid of your login password and simply hitting enter to login. I'm the only user of my Mac and I've disable automatic login for my account to prevent a guest or anyone else from accessing all of my data in my Home directory by simply turning on the computer.

Non-responsive Screen - can move cursor, but cannot select

MacBook Pro, OSX 10.10, cannot select or click on anything.
Mouse or touch screen will move the cursor, but it's like the screen is frozen.
Message on screen is "carbon coy cloner interrupted logout. Cancel or Try Again."
Control right arrow moves to next desktop (there are five). Cursor stays in same place on the screen.
Removed HDMI connection to external monitor, and rebooted, but cannot click on login in names.
Can move to different login persons using arrow keys.
Pressing Return brings up login password box. typed in password. Login successful.
Using control-Left Arrow will slide over a different desktop. In the first desktop, the there is an open TextEdit document into which I can type successfully.
But I cannot move the document, or save it.
What's happening?

This has happened to me at least a half dozen times since I updated to 10.2.2 yesterday morning. Each time I have restarted using the power button. Basically, the same as you are seeing. The mouse moves but when I try to click to select, nothing happens. I can't even get the dock to pop up.

Safari login screen after selecting guest account

I recently updated my iTunes and machine software and gained icloud. Unbeknownst to me, I somehow enabled a feature in icloud that gives me a guest account screen upon login. I chose that and it gave methe option of using safari only. I chose that and now I have a safari internet login screen, but can only surf the net. I read this is a security feature to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to your files. I understand however, I cannot log back into my account! I tried to reboot my computer several times but get the same safari login screen.
How do I log on using administrator rights to turn this feature off? I can get access using safe mode as intried to change the settings under security nbut have the same result.

Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups.
Click the item "Login Options" at the bottom of the left pane.
On the "Display login window as:" line, checkmark (select) the item "List of users".
Note - you will probably need admin access to be able to make any changes to the Login Options screen.

I have a new Apple TV which is working fine except that I cannot access .mov files which are in my iTunes Library. How can I get to these? I can run them on my computer and select Apple TV on the screen, but the Apple TV goes to a black screen

Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

Power on MacBook Pro takes me to login screen. All user icons appear as normal. Once I enter password for myself (administrator) spinning takes longer than normal and doesn't log in but displays a no sign

Power on MacBook Pro takes me to login screen. All user icons appear as normal. Once I enter password for myself (administrator) spinning takes longer than normal and doesn't log in but displays a no sign (circle w line through it) when attempting to login from guest account it takes me to screen that says that the computer will restart to a safe safari system for the guest user. I waited for a longer time and the grey denim screen comes up. By the apple in left upper corner it said I think LSA? Then safari menu bar. The page it loads to us file:///System/Installation/CDIS/Mac%2005%20X%20Utilities.app/Contents/Resource s/English.iproj/GuestLoginInfirmation.html
Can someone HELP? I'm afraid I might do something wrong

Ix2 fails to respond, cannot get past login screen

I am having intermittent problems with my Iomega ix2 failing to respond. After some time being on the drive fails to respond. I cannot open any files through Windows explorer. If i attempt to connect using the web interface i cant get past the login screen. I put in my user name and password and hit enter. The page simply reloads the login screen. The only solution is to power the drive down using the button on the back of the unit. Powering it up it works fine. Eventually though this will happen again. It's happened a half dozen time or more in the last few days. Now I'm stuck out in the field and cannot access any files. Please help.

No. No errors in the event log of any kind other than the time sync error. I recently replaced one of the disks as it had failed. I receieved a warranty disk from Lenovo/Iomega about a month ago. i installed it and it rebuilt the RAID with no problems. This error has been happening since then. When the time sync error happens i get all kinds of strange behavior. SFTP, which is how I access the files, will start giving Goodsync 'cannt reach end of file error' type errors. Like I've mentioned before I also get an issue where the web login screen gets caught in a loop too. I type in the user name and the password, hit enter, and it just reloads the login screen again. Rebooting the device from the power button on the back is the only solution.

Q10 - I tap the screen to select, the icon changes color (indicating selection) but nothing happens...

I notice an issue that predominantly happens when I use my thumbs to tap but does happen with fingers from time to time.
When I select an icon (say, for instance the lower-right corner icon to jump into camera settings), the icon changes color slightly when my thumb touches the glass, and then when I remove my thumb, nothing happens.
Sometimes this happens more than 5 times in a row. It's one thing if the screen never recognized my finger/thumb in the first place. It is a bit more madening when I KNOW that there was recognition (icon changing color) and yet nothing happens..
Anyone else having this problem? Is there some way to recalibrate the screen?
Right after I posted this message I tried that camera setting button - 7 tries before anything happened with my right thumb, one try with right index finger, then again it took 5 tries with index finger. The frustrating thing is that the icon to load the camera in the first place (lower right corner)... that one almost always works with the first tap...

Login screen sometimes without user icon & apple logo animation

Sometimes when I boot my MacBook Pro the login screen doesn't show my user icon and the apple logo is in it's final position without the sliding up animation. Is this a general know bug/isssue in lion? Luckily the password field is shown...

Still facing this problem running OS X Lion 10.7.2. No one else having this kind of bug?
