Cant login after upgrade

i bought a second hand macbook last week and it came with the install dvd for tiger, my mum had the upgrade disk for leopard so i tried installing, this took several attempts as it kept on freezing. once i had succesfully installed it i restarted and now it asks for a username and password niether of which i have set, i have tried reseting the password from the install cd but it still does not work.

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

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.

Cant login after wake from sleep

In the last month I've noticed that sometimes when I wake my mac book pro (from a deep sleep?), I cant login. I enter my password and press enter and the textbox disables as if it is about to login but then nothing happens. It doesn't complete logging in. I cant press escape, I cant type in the password text box anymore, I cant click the button next to textbox. Nothing. I have to do a hard power off. I've cleared NVRAM. Which, consequently, when I do that, the mac book usually hangs at half of the progress bar on the black screen with the apple logo. I can only get the system back up by booting into safe mode and then restarting.
Anyone have any idea how to trouble shoot or fix the login issue?
Mikey

Sorry to resurrect an old-ish thread but I'm having the EXACT same issue with my MacBook Pro. I have all the latest OS updates applied..10.6.8 or whatever version is the latest as of 6/27/11. I have taken it into the Apple store three times now...they've fixed permissions and run all the diagnostics and everything checks out 100%. I have even done a complete wipe and reinstall of OSX, but it still locks up sometimes when clicking a user on the login screen.
Have you been able to resolve the issue on your system?

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 NetAuthAgent[161]: 3891612: (connectAndCheck) Untrusted apps are not allowed to connect to or launch Window Server before login.

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 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):
+(computer name) com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.mDNSResponder(270/1/2/3/...): getpwnam('_mdnsresponder") failed+
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 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 !!

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.

Can't login after upgrade...

I've just updated a 24 inch iMac (Aluminium 2.8ghz 4GB RAM 1TB HD) from 10.4.10 to Leopard, and when I log in to the main account (the 501 admin account), the screen fades to blue and then login screen fades back up after a few seconds. It just won't let me log in!
I've tried the solutions here of booting up in single user mode and resetting the password and account privileges on that account in case it's lost it's admin rights. I've also tried logging in using the root account by setting it's password but the same thing happens when I login with that account. I've also tried repairing the permissions and the disk from the Leopard DVD to no joy.
The Tiger system was pretty clean having only had Final Cut Studio 2 and Movie Magic ScreenWriter installed on it. It had been used for about two weeks doing some light-weight FCP work.
+I did the following things before I upgraded to Leopard:+
• Deleted an account (a second admin account)
• Ran software update in Tiger
• Install the iLife Support 8.1.1 update and the iMac Software Update 1.2 (Tiger)
• Shutdown
• Booted off the Leopard DVD and the update seemed to go fine.
I have a feeling that the iMac Software Update 1.2 (Tiger) broke things when I updated to Leopard as there seems to be a separate one for Leopard.
I think I'll probably reinstall the machine in case of any future issues, but has anyone else seen this issue before?
*A word of warning then* - don't run the iMac Software Update 1.2 (Tiger) update then upgrade to Leopard as you won't be able log in, _even as root!_

Hi Andrew - I'm having the exact same problem. Same computer tried the same fixes and getting the same blue screen that fades back to the login screen. The only exception is that I had no other programs installed - I pulled the computer straight out of the box and installed the Leopard update. I did however let Tiger run a software update for iLife and a few other things (I'm embarrassed to say that I didn’t pay enough attention to what was actually updated – too excited about moving on to Leopard I guess.) I was going to try and call tech support later today and will post back if I get a solution to this issue. Thanks for posting it, at least I know there is one other person out there with the same problem.

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 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.

Disconnected from Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 – Production
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.

Cant boot after upgrade with conflicts

hi
always when i install arch and do:
pacman -Syu
i have error:
failed to comit transaction (conflicting files)
without that upgrade i cant install desktop manager so i try:
pacman -Syuf
pacman -Sc
pacman -Syu
and it finish upgrade without errors but when i reboot it want boot:
Unable to find root device /dev/sda10
You are beign dropped to a recovery shell
and my keyboard doesnt work too, only i can i reinstall Arch and when i do that i have same problem next time with conflicting files.
i try many linux distros, gentoo, slackware and every of them works great only arch have stupit conflictioning, is this a bug ?
what can i do ?
thanx

For an explanation about those conflicting file errors (and how to fix them), take a look here.
As for the "unable to find root device" error, you probably borked something by running "pacman -Syuf" (never use the -f flag for a generic update). Take a look here at how to fix that.

Users using Windows Authentication unable to login after upgrade to SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU1

We upgraded from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU1. Upgrade was successful. Users that have SQL Server Management Studio 2012 can successfully log in via Windows Authentication, but users with an older version of SQL Server Management
Studio are unable to log in via Windows Authentication.
The error they receive is listed below:
Connect not connect to XXXXXXX
Login Failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows Authentication.
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452)
If we switch to Mixed authentication, users can log in via SQL Server Authentication.
Our security policy prohibits SQL Authentication.
Outside of having the staff upgrade to SQL Server 2012 SQL Server Management Studio, is there any setting I can set/unset to allow older version of SQL Server Management studio to connect to SQL Server 2012?
Thanks.
DJ

Glad to see that you were able to resolve the issue yourself, but for the curious, could you explain what this
Extended Protection is?
