Disappear login. Please HELP!

Hi, i have a Macbook 13'' (one of the previous gen. black) with OS X Leopard with i believe 10.5.8
I'm having a similar problem as:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8106830
and
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8053014
My login disappeared and I only have "Other..."
a few differences though is that for some reason it takes about 3 minutes or so get to the login box, and mine failed to boot back up properly from sleep mode (lid closed then reopened later, so i hard reset)
It also takes about as long when i tried to boot off my Leopard install disc.
Unlike jatoskep it actually shows my account (which i named Home) to change the password.
Now here comes the problem. I read the solution V.K. proposed and tried enabling my root account in Single User mode, which didnt work. So i booted from disc and changed the password to the root account. Then came a window that said something about that this does not change the keychain login password or something... Anyway, i exit and boot from my OS X 10.5.8 and try to log in as root (Name: "root" (w/o the " " of course)) but after like going slightly dim as its trying to log-in, it eventually fails.
Oh and in Single User Mode, it says that my drive "Home" is "OK" (not sure what that means)
Am i doing something wrong or is there some bigger issue? The lag time in booting concerns me.
I have not installed anything new in the past few months, and had not touched any system preferences or setting at all either.
Someone told me that it maybe my problem with my harddrive considering the excessive boot time.
PLease help!

    I have just upgrade my Ipad3 to IO6 and for some reason the youtube app just gone disappeared. Please help!!

    The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

    why everytime I purchased a song on my iphone and 1 day after downloaded it, the artwork disappeared? please help. iOS 8.1.3 iphone 5s here.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Only root user can login, Please help

    Hi all, Iam new to solaris.
    I installed solaris 10 and configured SSH service.
    only root can login to console throught GUI let it be JDE or CDE while other users can't.
    Other users can only login through SSH or through command line prompt( before the GUI starts).
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Well, the GUI read/writes a lot of configuration files and otherfiles in your HOME directory, if it failes doing so the different services which makes the GUI fails to function and it will exit.
    The users can probably login through the GUI even if they don't have a proper $HOME if they choose the Option->Session->Failsafe session.

  • Photocast Login - Please Help

    I just created my first photocast, which is password protected. I am testing the login settings and I cannot seem to login from another browser. I enter the username (all combinations - username-Public, username-public, username, public, Public) and the password and the authentication box keeps popping up. What could be wrong? I am beyond frustrated with this and I am about to just go with Snapfish, Shutterfly or something else that actually works. Please help and thanks!

    Well, I finally gave up on the password-protected photocast idea. An alternative (and this is not a commercial!): Shutterfly. They have a nice tool that integrates nicely with iPhoto, your photos will be password protected and best of all, *it works.* I like the photocast concept via iPhoto but in my experience, at least, it has a lot of maturing to do. Good luck.

  • MBP freezes at login - Please help!

    hey all!
    please,please, please help me...
    ...just now it started that my mbp crashes (or freezes) at the login.
    yes, i have installed all updates and firmware etc. but days or weeks ago and till now it worked without any problems.
    i get to the login screen and see the cursor blink once and then it is gone and i can't sign in.
    i did a restart in safemode and repaired the rights and checked the volume (which is ok) but still it freezes.
    adobe version cue is not installed (or any other startup item).
    i'm quite new to the mac so could anybody please help me out here?
    thank you!

    Oddly, mine is doind the same. It was working fine on Monday. I left it overnight to let the UNIX processes run overnight.
    Had a day off yesterday. Came in this morning to find the machine locked solid and roasting hot!!
    I have used the install disc and repaired permissions and repaired the disc. No use.
    I have reinstalled the OS from the supplied discs and run the updates and still it freezes at login. I get as far as selecting my user and typing the password and then it freezes.
    I'm now going through the safe boot option. After that I'm going to have to rebuild my account since it is the only thing left.
    I don't understand how the machine can chew itself up so much overnight that it hangs.
    I have to be honest and say that I'm less impressed with the MBP. My old 700MHz G3 iBook works better than this.
    The powersupply (I think) whines at me.
    The wireless connection is a best, flakey
    The OS seems to want to crumble under it's own weight.
    Oh...and now the it has rebooted it can't get past the 'Starting Mac OS X....' screen.
    If anyone has any bright ideas I would appreciate them. I'm now going to boot in single user mode and do apples recommended pokes to see what happens.

  • Spinning Beach Ball at login--please help!

    Hello! Today I booted my iMac and when I clicked on my username as usual, the spinning beach ball appeared. It was working fine till yesterday! The only two unusual things were yesterday evening, when Safari died on me when a Flash ad loaded and then all the rest of my open applications started not responding (I forced-shut down my iMac and went to sleep), and the Apple firmware update I did on Monday (but again, it was working fine till yesterday). What do I do now if I can't login? Please, please help me! I was very stupid and did not backup the data in my FileVault, so I really need to access my Vault!

    Cleaning global and user caches didn't work, cleaning user preferences didn't work, Safe boot didn't work, single-user mode didn't work, the only option left to me was Archive and Install, which fixed my problem.

  • All of my Itunes has disappeared! Please help

    I've had iTunes on my Windows for quite a while and I have frequently used it. Unfortunately today, another family member used it and now for some reason or another all of my music, playlists and videos have disappeared. I was able to retrieve all my music, but I lost all of the playlists and play counts and such. This makes it very frustrating as I had which songs I wanted included on my iPod in a seperate play group and now I have to redo that and resend them onto my iPod. Is there any way to fix this without having to go through all that trouble? Plus I would really like to have my play counts back if possible. The guilty person has no idea how they caused this to happen, so they're off no help there. I would really appreciate your help. What should I do to fix this?

    Is your Itunes program gone? If not then open up your my computer, go to program files or something on the lines of that, then find Itunes and look for playlist and import them back into Itunes =)

  • Tabs and Breadcrumbs Disappearing! Please help

    Hi, I am currently using APEX 4.2.
    Every time I view a page which is a member of a standard tab, all the tabs and breadcrumbs disappear and I don't know why. They're all part of the same tab set, and related parent tabs, and all the pages have the same template of two-level tabs. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Just noticed that on "Managed Tabs" and "Standard Tabs" all the pages are there, but on the "Tabs" section, they are not, only 1 page on each parent tab.

    To fix the tabs, you need to re-associate the pages with the associated standard and parent tabs.
    1. Click on a page which the tab isn't working
    2. In the tabs section on that page, click "View" (The pencil icon)
    3. On the right-hand side, click "Associate Page(s) with selected Standard Tab"
    4. Click "Apply Changes"
    Note. You may need to perform this operation more than once, and also for each parent tab section.
    Still unable to find a solution for the breadcrumbs not working but I believe it is the same problem, they do not appear to be associated with a region on the page.

  • Beachballing Upon Login - Please Help!

    Hello.
    When I log in with any account on my iMac, the dock appears along with my wallpaper, then i get nothing but the beachball of death. The menu bar at the top on the screen does not display, and there are no icons on desktop.
    Booting in safe mode works fine.
    I tried cleaning up my cache using Smasher, but this did not work.
    The problem first started (but not every time I tried to log in) when my iMac was connected to a central server - so I presume this did something to the local accounts.
    I updated to v.10.6.2 last week, and my computer is no longer connected to this server, and now the problem occurs every time I try to log in
    Help required, I have no ideas!
    Thanks in advance.

    You might give this a try:
    If you were able to log in, this may work for you (it has for others). Just don't type 'exit'.
    You will need to clear out your caches and some of your preference files. Try these commands—I recommend you print this out in a largish mono-spaced font so you don't miss any spaces (or add extra ones).
    Be careful. Some of these commands are dangerous.
    sudo -s
    You will be prompted for your password, which will not be echoed. Type it and press return. Now you are root, so be especially careful!
    cd /Library/Preferences
    rm com.apple.loginwindow.plist
    rm com.apple.windowserver.plist
    cd /Library/Caches
    rm *
    cd /System/Library
    cd /System/Library/Caches
    rm *
    reboot
    This should now take you to a proper login screen after the normal boot sequence.
    If you get error messages saying files do not exist, don't panic.
    The problem most likely is in your user account and caused by something that's corrupted.

  • "Starting Window Login" PLEASE help

    I have a blue G3 running Panther. I've had it for about two years (bought it from a friend, so I have no disks) and a couple of months ago I tried to start it up. However, it stops loading right before the login screen. It says "Starting Window Login" and never takes me to the login screen.
    I have no disks for this computer. I really need these files. Is there any way I can get to them?
    I have a Mac Mini with the Tiger disks, but I have no idea where to go from here.
    I bought an external HD enclosure and put the G3 harddrive in the enclosure, but it will not mount on my Mac Mini. Could there be something wrong with my HD?
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Welcome To Discussions lehatch!
    In the interim, I strongly suggest that you find a means of trying to access your files, to attempt to do a backup!
    If your Mac is Firewire enabled, and you have access to another Mac that is also Firewire, you could try Firewire Target Disk Mode.
    Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
    Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
    If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
    Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
    Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
    Unless purchased from AppleRescue, the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade on them.
    Additional info in these links.

    Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
    If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.

    Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media."

  • Login (please help!)

    I have this code, and I want to do something like that but without the (button3), wants to normal login (without registration)
    this code:
    Form1:
    Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    If TextBox2.Text = "PASSWORD123" Then
    Form2.Show()
    Me.Close()
    MsgBox("zostales zalogowany")
    Else
    MsgBox("Zle haslo")
    End If

    Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
    If TextBox1.Text = "LOGIN" Then
    TextBox1.Enabled = False
    TextBox2.Enabled = True
    Button3.Enabled = False
    MsgBox("login jest poprawny , jeszcze hasło")
    Else
    MsgBox("wpisz login który istnieje i jest poprawny potem kliknij przycisk")
    End If
    End Sub
    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
    If TextBox2.Text = "PASSWORD123" Then
    Form2.Show()
    Else
    MsgBox("ZLE HASLO LUB LOGIN")
    End If
    End Sub

    First: Using Form default instances will only create problems. I promise. Many brains here were used up searching for a problem only because the wrong Form instance was accessed. So, if you want to show a Form, create a new instance (e.g. "bla = new
    Form2").
