ColorSync and login

I have a weird issue with custom color profiles and Leopard on my MBP. When I'm logged out (or switched out via Fast User Switching), the colors of my display brighten significantly, becoming washed out. This happens no matter which profile I use, even with stock profiles. This doesn't happen, however, on my Mac Pro (also on 10.5.1), with or without custom profiles. The issue with my MBP occurs both with its own display and when connected to an external display. It's not a huge issue, but kind of annoying. Any ideas?

Does anyone have any idea?

Cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.

I also have the same problem, however if I use Firefox or Opera sites with ssl connection work fine. Still, I can't use Google Chrome (ssl), Safari (ssl), the Mac app store (generally), or the iTunes store (generally). Both the iTunes store, Safari and the app store won't respond, and Chrome displays this error: (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT). The problem persists regardless of what network I'm using. Also, when trying to access the keychain or iCloud, the process will not start (will hang). I didn't have these problems at all before updating to 10.7.2.
Sometimes rebooting helps, and sometimes not. If the problem disappears by rebooting, then it only lasts a few minutes before it reappears. It is very frustrating, especially since there doesn't seem to be any obvious or consistent way of which to fix it.

I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login.

Any ideas how I can get around the password and login. I tried the method where you go into single user mode and type in commands, however that method uses some of the letters that are not working on my laptop.

You didn't mention which version of OS X your running but there are password reset utilities provided OS X: Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier) - Apple Support or OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - Apple Support
Alternately you can use an external keyboard to log in and change the password. Make a backup if you don't have one, it's likely that your problems aren't over. If that water continues to migrate downward and fries the logic board your macbook will be toast.

Open Directory: user authentication and logining takes a lot of time

We have Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with OpenDirectory and some iMacs with Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After adding Network Account Server in iMacs (System Preferences->Accounts->Login Options->Network Account Server Edit) OD works normally and users authenticate and login their accounts rather fast (5-10 seconds). But some days or weeks later the time for authentication and logining takes for about 5 minutes. If I re-add Network Account Server, then all works greatly again. What's the matter? How to avoid this re-adding?

Hello,
can you tell us what is the size of this Universe in terms of:
number of tables, number of objects, size of the .unv file?
Also, is this behaviour specific to this universe or you have other universes having the same problem?
Last, are you 'opening it' as in File/Open or importing it as in 'File/Import...' ?
Thanks

X230 Win 8.1 Pro Fingerprint single swipe power on and login black screen

When i try to log on using the single swipe power on and login feature sometimes the screen will go to the login screen, the finger print scanner will flash, and then i get a black screen. I can see the mouse cursor, but nothing else. If I swipe my finger again, I will see the login screen again briefly, before it returns to a blank screen again. There is no way to get past this, aside from forcing the machine to power down (Hold down power key for 10 seconds).
Does anyone have a solution for this. Powering on the device and logging in with a single swipe is a really great feature, but I need it to not brick logging in.
Thanks for any help or advice.

I apologize I didn't already provide these answers initially.
Questions:1. Does this happen 100% of the time, or is it intermittent?
I have only noticed this intermittently.
2. Does it happen starting from full shutdown (press and hold SHIFT key while you shutdown the computer normally, then swipe to power on and log in).
I have only had this problem when resuming from a state of hibernation.
3. Does it happen starting from sleep (swipe to resume the system from sleep and log in)
I rarely sleep the system, but I recall it hanging once or twice when coming back from sleep as well.
4. Can you check "View all problem reports" screen in Action Center to see if any crash happens at the same time the problem occurs?
the only problem reports that corresponds with the times this has happened today refer to an problem with the Anti malware Service Executable with the summary being MpTelemetry.
5. Can you export registry at these locations:
a. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Credential Provider Filters]
b. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Credential Providers]
I have this, but unfortunately do not see how I can attach it this post.
Edit: Here is a link to download it directly. Once you respond I'll disable this.
Link removed
It should also be noted that I do not have a problem when single swipe is disabled. (So I need to swipe twice. One to power on, and the other to log in.)

How do I get connected to a server on my network via an IP address? When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

I am new to Mac...How do I get connected to a server on my network via a hyper link IP address path? When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

Some of the following is going to use some technical terms — this area is inherently somewhat technical.
If you don't understand some part of the following reply, please ask.
Is this your own OS X Server system on your own network, or is this some other server within some larger organization?
You're posting this in the OS X Server forum, which is a software package that allows OS X systems to provide web-based and many other services; to become servers.
If it's your OS X Server on your network, then the network and DNS configurations are suspect, or the server is somehow malfunctioning or misconfigured. This is unfortunately fairly common, as some folks do try to avoid setting up DNS services.
If it's a larger organization and somebody else is managing the server and the network, then you'll probably need to contact the IT folks for assistance; to learn the network setup and DNS requirements, and if there's a problem with the server itself.
The basic web URL "hyper link IP address path" — without using DNS — usually looks something the following, where you'll need to replace 10.20.30.40 with the IP address of your server:
http://10.20.30.40
UptimeJeff has posted a URL that specifies the AFP file system; an OS X file share. That's used if you're connecting to an Apple storage service somewhere on your network. You might alternatively need to specify smb://10.20.30.40 or such, if it's a Windows file server. (There can be additional requirements for connecting to Windows Server systems, too.)
If there's local IT staff available here, please contact them for assistance. If these are your own local systems and your own local OS X Server system, then some information on the server will be needed. (If you're on a NAT'd network, you'll also need to get DNS services configured and working on your local OS X Server system and your network — you'll not be able to skip this step and reference ISP DNS servers here — or things can and usually will get weird.)

I have tried all of the suggestions -passwords and logins are not saving. The lists are empty. Please help.

I imported my profile from my other pc and my bookmarks are there but my pws and logins were not imported. I figured I would just reset up a master and start over but no matter what I do the logins and passwords do not show up in the list.

What Firefox version is used on the other PC?
Did you use an extension like FEBE or did you manually copy files?
Firefox 32 and later builds store the passwords in the logins.json file in the profile folder and no longer use the signons.sqlite file that has been used before (the matching key3.db file is still needed).

The "Remember Password" extension has been reported to cause issues with the passwords disappearing, so if you have this extension then remove (uninstall) it.

Differences between Roles, Schemas, Users and Logins.

I need differences between Roles, Schemas, Users and Logins. Can anyone help me. Thanks in advance

Roles:
I think of creating roles in the database to group users of like
function. Roles are granted certain permissions in the database. You
should become familiar with the fixed database roles since these will be
utilized once you start creating users within the database. Also, once
you see the type of permissions that are granted to each role, is makes
more sense.
Schema: there can be several schemas in a database,
which will house different types of objects such as tables, indexes,
stored procedures, functions, etc. Users own schemas. Looking into
the AdventureWorks database illustrates this concept, with several
schemas like HR, Production, etc.
Login: Think about login as
gaining access to the SQL Server instance. If a user account is not
granted any permissions within the instance, you basically just were
able to unlock the door and enter the room, by creating a user you then
grant access to the database objects or principals, and can begin to
work with them.
Users: Users own schemas, and as such will be
able to manipulate the objects they own. Some of the manunipulations
are very permissive, such as creating tables, indexes, stored
procedures, functions, etc. These are developers and administrators.
Users
are created and granted permissions for application use, which will
have select, update, insert, and delete and execute permissions to a
finite set of objects in the schema, for which the application will need
to function properly.
In a client server database, as an
example, of the structure. Roles were defined which provides the
permissions to the database objects in the database, which only has one
schema 'dbo'. One SQL server login was created with the same username,
and dbo is the assigned default schema, and the roles assigned to that
username.
In the application, each specific user is given there own
"application" login which is mapped to the one defined sql server
login.

SQL*Plus: Release 10.1.0.4.0 startup behaviour (glogin and login)

Hi,
I'm working in a unix environment where I have a lot of sql scripts to run using different DB users but only one OS user.
I notice that in this version of SQL*Plus something was change regarding glogin and login scripts: they are executed also after a successful connect. There is no warning in the documentation to NOT use CONNECT in these scripts.
What happens is recurrent execution of the same login script if there is a CONNECT command in it up to 20 time (the limit of recurrence in SQL*Plus). The only workaround I found is to put SET SQLPLUSCOMPATIBILITY to a prior version in the same login file before the CONNECT command.
Has anyone a better idea ?
Thank you.

There is no warning in the documentation to NOT use CONNECT in these scripts.the change is documented
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/ch12015.htm
When you run a CONNECT command, the site profile, glogin.sql, and the user profile, login.sql, are executed.
I understand your problem. The best would be to use a valid login and glogin script. I do not recommend big modification in glogin.
Some tools, like OEMGC, particulary hates aggressive staff in glogin.sql, for example ALTER SESSION, etc...
It is not recommended to do a "SET TERMOUT OFF" or a "WHENEVER SQLERROR CONTINUE" or any DML/DDL in your glogin, because it will irreversibily affect some scripts.
The best I can rate you : remove your fancy staff from glogin.sql. If it is about the sql prompt, use 10g feature, like
set SQLP _USER@""_CONNECT_IDENTIFIER>much better than selecting from global name!!!

Whats the difference between Authentication and Login check up ?

whats the difference between Authentication and Login check up ?

Authentification is a more generic term. It's generally applicable to any situation where you check that information comes from where it claims to come from.
Login is just one form of authentification.

How to select the desired language in the item Startup and Login Windows?

Users can individually select the language in which applications are displayed by moving the entries in the Language list of the International pane in System Preferences into the desired order. However, this language preference only affects applications started by each user, it does not apply to the startup phase of the operating system and its login window. Under normal circumstances, this kind of language preference can only be set when installing or reinstalling the operating system.
How to modify this language preference without having to reinstall the system. Select the desired language in the item Startup and Login Language ?

The language used by the login window is written in /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist. The file name begins with a dot . , so it is hidden in the Finder.
If it is OK for you to use unix command line, then you can modify this plist file by using "defaults" command as follows (CAUTION! please be careful no to make any mistakes, and do it at your own risk).
Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app. and type
cd /Library/Preferences
cp .GlobalPreferences.plist saved-GlobalPreferences.plist
to make a backup copy of the plist. (if you get permission error, then try
sudo cp .GlobalPreferences.plist saved-GlobalPreferences.plist
and enter the admin password.)
Then type
defaults read /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences AppleLanguages
to show the current setting. You can rearrange the list of languages as you like, for example,
defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences AppleLanguages '(fr en)'
(or sudo defaults write .... if you get permission error)
I think you may make the list as short as you like.
If you don't like to use Terminal.app, then install Xcode (you can find it in Tiger install DVD, or download the latest version from Apple -- you need to register at Apple website to download it). It will install /Developer/Applications/Utilities/Property List Editor.app. You can edit /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist by this app by typing the following into Terminal.app (it's hidden in Finder so you must use Terminal.app to start editing it by Property List Editor):
open /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist

Can I logoff from my iTunes and login using my family share id, download the apps that I want that waves to apps previously purchased before I linked family sharing

Can I logoff from my iTunes and login using my family share id, download the apps that I want that were previously purchased before I linked family sharing with my unique Apple id, logout, and log back in with my Apple ID to have access to the apps?

If you transfer any iTunes content to the iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first with a warning message provided indicating this beforehand.
Authorize the different computer with your Apple ID with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, right click on the iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases. This will transfer all apps on your iPhone to the iTunes library.
