Cursor speed on Log on screen

Is there a way to change the mouse cursor speed on the log on screen? Once I log in it's the speed I'd like. Please help!

No. None of your settings take place until after you log in. If you wish you can setup automatic login which bypasses the login screen. You do that using the Users & Groups preferences. It's a login option.

Could not click on anything in Recovery disk and log in screen, but I can move the cursor around. Using 10.8, not sure what's wrong, anyone have an idea?

So the problem is, I cannot click on anything in the Recovery Disk and Log in screens (to enter your password), but I can move the cursor. My trackpad works fine everywhere else except for these screens. If I connect a USB mouse, I am able to click on things in these screens.
NOTE: I am not just tapping, I am really clicking on the trackpad.
I recall some time ago when this wasn't happening, not sure if that was when I was on Leopard. I sort of suspect 10.8.x, but I'm not too sure.
Has anyone else experienced this? Would appreciate help. Thanks!

Try an SMC reset. The article covers when this is required, but doing this will not affect anything.

MacBook Pro w/10.6.8 requires me to sign in twice at initial log-in screen before loading

My MacBook Pro w/10.6.8 requires me to sign in twice at initial log-in screen before loading.. In addition, after Safari 5.1.7 has been open for a few hours the browser stops loading pages and then the entire computer freezes and I have to do a forced reboot with the power button. The first push of the power button brings up the four options screen: "sleep, restart, turn off, logout" but they don't work. I have to force shutdown.
I don't have either of these problems from a safe boot. However a boot from a clean "Test" administrator account still requires me to login twice before the desktop loads.
If I login once as either Test or my User Name then choose the " back" button then switch to the other login option before pressig the return key, I only have to login in once at the new login screen.
This problem began after I partitioned my 500GB HD with a 10.6.8 partition--the problem partition-- and a Lion 10.7.4 partition (to avoid iCloud issues with Snow Leopard). The Lion partition does not require double login. I have not done anything yet with the Lion partition except software updates.
I have also been having LCD problems (according to recent Genius Bar visit, not related to the NVIDIA 8300 problem). Sometimes (every 2-3 times I start the MBP) the MBP will reboot but the screen will be so dark I can't see the cursor and can barely see the desktop. The brightness is set at max and pressing the buttons up/down don't affect the dark screen. Usually I restart and the screen appears normal. This problem occurs with Safe, Test and User Name boots.
Thanks for any suggestions

I have the same issue and eventually revirted to logging in web wise to emails and have found that its not so bad- but the moment app wants to access mail it slows down and have had had issues again.
I know that Mac products when accessing emails have a tendancey to semi download images- and was told that this can be the issue by a friend( not sure how rellable this is) but have noticed a coralation between the two factors.
I know that there are issues with hotmail when on certain devices ( had the warning form hotmail's site)- but still have yet to be shown how to remove my email from Mail- if yo have any ideas I might try it.
Please if you have any advice of how to remove main email that would be great and it may be a option for you.

Touchpad doesn't work in log in screen

My MPB randomly returns to log in screen

I have a:
Model Identifier:
MacBookPro6,2
Processor Name:
Intel Core i7
Processor Speed:
2.66 GHz
and am currently running 10.6.8...
I use my laptop in lectures a lot and it seems that randomly (usually when I'm typing quite a lot) the whole screen rotates as a cube and returns to the log in screen asking me for my password.
Once I log in it rotates back exactly where I left off, only there will be a chunk missing from audio (if I'm recording)
It is really anoying, if anyone has any advice how to stop this it would be much appreciated...
(It began doing it when I uprgaded to Lion so I reverted to Snow Leopard but now that I'm back at university the problem has reappeared even in Snow Leopard... just not quite as frequently as before.)

Sorry.
Yes I can log in but as soon as I do the same malware message pops up then my mac resets back to the log in screen and this loop just keeps repeating itself. Log in, when I do at it loads I get the malware sign, then it crashes and returns me to the log in, repeat. After logging in, my mac is unresponsive so I can't seem to do anything before it goes back to the log in screen.
I'm able to use my mac as normal when opened in safe mode, and I have tried turning off the log in password screen. Then when I try to use my mac out of safe mode the same message comes up then it just crashes, reloads then crashes again.

Leopard hangs before log-in screen

Just got my Leopard installed, I upgraded my existing Tiger installation. But the time it got to reboot it loaded up that blue screen you see before the log-in screen appears.
Over here it seemed to load up twice but then nothing happens. I see the mouse-cursor and it works, but my fans start spinning but there is nothing happening.
Anyone knows what this could be?

We've already had this problem all day in Australia

GDM Cursor 'busy' at Log-on.

Hi, all!
Just a slight niggle with my GDM set-up. When GDM is waiting for me to enter my log-on credentials, the cursor appears 'busy'. Usually with other applications, a 'pointer' or 'arrow' would appear and only turn into the 'stop watch' when it really is busy. I have not seen this behaviour on other distros. Do I need to do something to enable my cursor to change to a 'pointer' whilst at the log-on screen?
Thanks,
Chris.

you will need to put some extra lines in the users ~/.bashrc file in their home directory.
I use this :
if [[ -z "$DISPLAY" ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/vc/1 ]]; then
startx
fi
Taken from here Start_X_at_boot
Te effect of the above lines is that when user C logs in on console 1 X is automatically started, & from other consoles just gets the console.
Other users are not affected.

I cannot log onto sites that require my log in and password. I get no error message, fire fox just goes back to the same empty log in screen. this problem is not limited to one site. I reloaded firefox with same results.

When i type in my log in and password and enter, the site either returns to the blank screens or does nothing. This is not limited to one or two sites. all of my financial institutions, electric company, insurance companies, even trying to register here so that i could ask this questions. In this situation, when i hit the register button, nothing happend, its as iff the button is inactive. i had to go to IE to register and post this question. I just tried to enter my new log in and pw on the screen in fire fox and nothing happens. Some sites behave differently when i hit the submit or log in button. the information seems to be transmitted but the screen comes right back to the original log in screen with blank fields. there are no error instructions that something does not match or is missing. then i go to IE and it works.
This started a few weeks ago. I cant identify anything that was added around that time but i tried a system restore and that did nothing. i deleted fire fox and downloaded the latest version 3.6.13 and it is still happening

Macbook Pro unable to get pass the Log in Screen.

Hey hope someone can help.
Okay so last night I was using Windows, I shut down, then a few hours later I switched it on to go onto my Mac, but it took forever, I left it though and eventually I got to the log in screen, I entered my password and it was loading then the screen went blue/gray (not sure I think both) and went back into the log in screen again... I did this numerous times before giving up and shutting down. Went to sleep, woke up and resumed this...so I decided to see if I could log into my windows, which it did just fine, I'm on windows typing this right now.
I have run the apple hardware test, extended too, and I have recieved the error code: 4SNS/1/40000000:Th2H-63.000 (No idea what that is)
I have also tried booting from my start up disk that came with my Mac. It gives me the Apple logo on the gray screen then ejects my disc, gives me this long story... kind of goes: panic (cpu 0 caller 0x00431da3):"unable to blah blah... Tells me to restart or shutdown.
I looked at my disc and I think its cracked, So I have to get that replaced.
I think I have to archive and install, I really don't want to lose my music, as I haven't backed it up. 400 songs or so nothing much, I'm not worried about the other stuff as that is all backed up.
Long story short can someone tell me what's going on with my Mac? why am I still able to use windows fine? Has windows done a hit on Mac OS? lol. Is the solution to replace my install disc at Apple? I really don't know, any help would be greatly appreciated thanks, I'm just too tired and can't Google anymore :P
(I have a small partion of 32GB dedicated to Windows Vista.)

"I have run the apple hardware test, extended too, and I have recieved the error code: 4SNS/1/40000000:Th2H-63.000 (No idea what that is)"
Neither do I. Suggest that you take your MBP to an Apple Store or an AASP.
"Is the solution to replace my install disc at Apple?"
Yes. You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support for a nominal S&H fee. *You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.*
Since you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -

How can we take the cursor to a different sub-screen from the BADI?

Hi,
We have to do some validation on Header, Operation and Relationship of any work order (IW31, IW32). We have checked that validations can be done at BADI WORKORDER_UPDATE in the method u2018AT_SAVEu2019. But user wants us to take the Cursor back to the field and screen due to which the error is coming. How can we take the cursor to a different sub-screen from the BADI?
Thanks in Advance,
Pranav

You 'ran out of room' because you tried to put your entire question into what is the 'Topic line' of the post.
This is a fairly common error, as a scan of the topic list will show, and likely due to a design flaw in the layout of the composition page.
Most posters who make this error do so on their first post, and are able to avoid a similar misstep on their second and subsequent questions.

Wife's Mac Book Pro locked up will not allow her to log on, it froze up on her so she did a hard shut down by holding power button until it shut down. Will power up but not allow her to log in on the log in screen. Any suggestions?

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

HT204053 I rfor ntly changed my email address and apple id- when accessing app store from my iphone the old id (email address) still apears on the log in screen - cant change and access app store

I recently changed my email address and also my apple id to match- this is all working OK and I can access store ,apple account etc - however when I get notifications on my i phone to update apps via app store the log in screen still show my old apple id -email address which is no longer valid. when I enter my password I am denied access - there is no comand on my i phone to change the log in id for the app store ( there is for changing password or forgotten password only) does anyone have the solution for me please - many thanks, fijijohn

when I get notifications on my i phone to update apps via app store the log in screen still show my old apple id
That's because apps are forever tied permanently to the Apple ID that bought them, even if they were free. That is the only ID that can ever update them.
Unfortunately you went about this the wrong way. Rather than making a new Apple ID with the new email address, you should have just changed the name and email address associated with the old ID. Now you are kind of screwed because it's too late to use the new email on the old ID since you used it to create a new Apple ID. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another and Apple doesn't merge IDs.
You can try to resurrect the old Apple ID with a new email address and maintain two Apple IDs, or decide which ID and it's content you wish to abandon.
