Computer will not progress beyond signing into my user account so I can't any desktop items to click on.  Please help!

After signing on to my account, the computer won't progress in the usual way to the desktop where I can click on the various icons to run any apps.  It seems to be stuck at the screensaver.  Please help!

One more intermediate step you can take before re-install.
Hold down the Shift key at Startup. This invokes Safe Mode. It spends five minutes doing a Disk Utility ( Repair Disk ) and then loads the smallest possible set of Extensions, and presents the login screen, even if you normally auto-login.
If this works just fine, and regular boot does not, the difference is the additional extensions, including those for your graphics card.
If you continue to have problems, you should also run Apple Hardware test from your original DVD, if available.

  • My Ipod Touch will not let me sign into my apple account without adding a credit card number

    I don't have a credit card, or a gift card; an when I go to download an app I log into my account; but it wont 'Fully' log me in until I press 'review', then it does the whole "Your credit card number is a required field". Thus resulting in me not being able to download my desired app, even though my account is verified on the sight ect. But even still, when I go to save my "billing" information on the sight, my "Credit card number" is STILL a required field..! I don't have a credit card..! So how can I download apps without a credit card..?

    Try logging into your account in iTunes on a computer and setting the payment method to None.
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    Last, contact iTunes.
    You can always
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    In order to use your Apple ID to create an iCloud account, the primary email address associated with the ID must first be verified.  To do this, Apple will send a verification email to your account and you must respond to the email by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

    They are updated through the Software Update facility, not the Mac App Store.
    Thanks for popping in....
    My iLife apps are all from retail install disks predating Lion/ML; I am running 10.8.4 and as soon as I choose Software Update from the menu, the app store 'Updates" window opens with "checking for updates". I believe that behavior (SU being directed to MAS) was changed with ML?

  • HT4759 the system will not let me sign into an I cloud account

    I can log into my apple account, but i can not login to i cloud

    - Try contacting iTunes for the password problem:
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    - For the other problem you can try a reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - The next standard thing to do is to download/install a new app but you cant 'do that.
    - Instead, try restoring from backup.

  • My computer will not access the sign in page for hotspot

     I am using a Toshiba laptop w/windows 7. I am connected to the xfinity hotspot but it will not redirect to sign in screen. I have tried typing in the direct URL and it tells me no internet activity can be detected, page not available. I have used multiple URL's I found listed on another board and none get me there.

    On Comcast.net go to your account / services / xfinity internet, there is a link to manage devices for xfinity wifi
    Your device only needs to sign in once to xfinitywifi, then it automatically logons on from there on.  Look at that manage devices page and see if your equipment is listed.  You might want to clean up devices that are not familar, or even delete everything and start over.  Then see if you can connect to a xfinitywif hotspot.
    There is no url to go to, it either connects automatically, or a sign in page will pop up only the first time with that device.

  • Upgraded to win7 from xp. Now some songs will not play without signing into an old Itunes id account.

    Installed Windows 7 from XP. Downloaded itunes and imported the music library.
    Now some songs will not play until I authorize this computer by signing  in using an old apple id. Now when I do that the message says too many devices on that id.
    Is there a way to convert those songs to my current Apple id? Or is there a way to download them again under the new id?

    Content is permanently tied to the Apple ID that it was acquired with.
    If you desire the conent on your current Apple ID, purchase it with the current Apple ID.
    For future reference, do not create a new Apple ID simply because of a change of email address.  Instead, update the Apple ID with the new email address.
