During the start up of my imac, logon failed

during the start up of my imac, logon failed and the user doesn't exit anymore . i have performed a password recovery and i'm using the mac root user. is it possible to recover my user and my profile ? and how ?
this problem exist from the moment in which i had change my id apple .
thanks

Ifd you go to /Users does your home folder still exists? If so, then go into Accouns and make a new user account with your same name, and this is very important, same short name. When you do, you will get a message that a home folder already existsd and would you like to use it, say yes and then log out and your account should be there. If there is no home folder your only option is to restore from a backup.

Qosmio F30 starts with blue stripes during the start screen of Vista

My Qosmio F30-114 runs since years without Problems with Vista Ultimate.
Since some Days there is a huge Problem.
The Qosmio starts with blue stripes during the start screen of vista.
So I deleted the driver of the graphic card and used the standard vga card driver. the hardware assistent found a driver on the system.
For a short moment i was very lucky.
After a restart, there was a blue screen. after the next restard, again the standard vga card driver.
What can i do?
The download section of toshiba has no drivers for graphic card.
And really ... i wonder - how does it works all the years without problems...
Has anyone a solution?
thanx
toshibalover ;-)

Hi!
First of all do you have this issue on an external monitor too or only on the internal monitor? Maybe its not a problem of the graphic card so check this with an external monitor.
I have checked the Toshiba website and there I can find some drivers for the Qosmio F30:

How can I shut down the start sound on my IMac under OS X 10.9.5

How can I shut down the start sound on my IMac under OS X 10.9.5

Did you try using 'mute' in the System Preferences> Sound> output>
control panel? This usually will mute the startup sound; you may have
to try a few things to be sure only the startup will mute, not all sounds.
Of course, you could likely write an apple script in automator or in
text edit, that could automatically mute before shutdown and then
in startup items, have the script un-mute the audio for everything.
There are possibilities that do not include the command line; but
if you learn how to use that, without messing up other functions,
then even more custom control is possible in Mac OS X.
With that, you could write a substitute 'sound file' with white noise
or nothing in there; so instead of Bong, it'd be as quiet as a mouse.
PS: You may have a local reason why the site link posted above
does not work for you, but it does function and if the product is
free to use, and does not include adware or malware, here is an
untested download link from their site. (I can go there, easily.)
http://www.allvu.com/index.php/sndownloadpage.html
and note:
http://www.allvu.com/downloads/StartNinjaInstaller.dmg is the
actual DL link for this product. Mouse over the buttons to see it.
(The other downloads are highly suspect; even this one is to me)
There may be a reason in your Mac OS X 10.9.x for gatekeeper
to not allow odd download installations, there is a way around
that feature, but I do not recommend using unknown software.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

During the verification phase of burning photos it fails yet it seems that all the photos are there?

during the verification phase of burning photos it fails yet it seems that all the photos are there?

Greetings,
Verification occurs after the burn is complete. The computer goes back to check the disk it just completed burning for errors. The disk is burned, it just didn't burn to the computer's satisfaction and may contain errors that will prevent it from working either on this computer or others. Then again it may work fine if it is a very minor error.
Common causes:
Low quality DVD/CD media
DVD/CD media that does not match the specifications for the drive in the computer
Resolutions:
Buy a brand of DVD/CD that has a reputation for making quality media
Check to see what speeds your optical drive in your computer supports: http://support.apple.com/specs/#imac
--- Once you locate your model on the specs page search for the word "optical" and make note of the speed of disks the drive uses. If your drive says it burns at 8x for example and you purchase a 16x disk then the disk does not match the drive.
Hope that helps!

My Imac won't go past the grey screen and apple logo! How do I fix the start up in my Imac?

I really need help with this one!
My Imac is stuck on the grey screen with the apple Logo, and it wont go past that.
It does listen to certain keyboard commands to start it up (ive tried fixing it by reading other's posts.) But it will only listen to some commands,
It doesn't start on Shift (safe mode) but it does start on command+shift+(other button) which is safemode viewed so you can see whats going on.
As the letters on the screen type on, it says it's loading something but stays stuck there.
I've heard about a way where you can use terminal from another computer and boot it that way, or using firewire cables.
Please help! and take in mind I'm not really tech-savy with computers, so guides would be helpful!
If there is any way to save the files in the computer that would be great. If it can't be done, it's fine, I just want it working again .
Thanks,
Gian Varela

Hi bluebanana 66,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a few reasons why you might receive this message after installing iTunes. You may need to verify that iTunes has been completely removed before trying to install again. See this article for the steps to completely remove and reinstall iTunes:

Tile or Pixels During the Start Up

Macbook Pro 15inch 2007 last Oct started to exhibit some strange video behavior. Start up is fine until the grey Apple with progress bar appears. Then it's frozen and must be shut down via the power button. In Safe Mode, it works fine with exception the graphics are chunky if moving a window around. The S or verbose mode doesn't exhibit any problems either. Start up Disk also has a working screen and runs.
Connecting the laptop in T mode to a MacPro, it shows up normally and Disk Utility doesn't report any problems. As precaution, I formated the laptop drive and loaded fresh OS. Regular start up mode...laptop still shows the blocky, tiles upon reaching the grey apple screen.
The Apple support pages show there was some warranty extension, but expired 2012. It was about the GPU being a lemon. Anyways, if anyone else had this before or fixed it, I'm all ears!
Thanks
David

Aperture crashed during the starting process

Hi Community,
I´m unable to make it work my Aperture installation.
Basically are this my configuration:
MacBook Pro mid 2009
OS X 10.9.1
Aperture 3.5.1
Final Cut Express 4.0
I just loaded Aperture from the App Store and run the installer. But everytime when Aperture are starting up, it runs into the following error:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager
Referenced from: /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/MacOS/Aperture
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
/Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
Anybody can help me please?
Daniel

Daniel,
you need to reinstall Mavericks. See this support article:
Aperture 3.x: Aperture unexpectedly quits if Final Cut Express 4 is installed
When you installed Final Cut Express, the PluginManager framework has been replaced by an incompatible version, and the safest way to restore the correct framework to your system library is to reinstall MacOS X.
This can be done by booting into the recovery partition and then to reinstall on top of your current system, see this link: OS X: About OS X Recovery
Regards
Léonie
P.S: Don't reinstall Final Cut after reinstalling the system - if you just install the system on top of your current configuration, Final Cut should continue to work.

HT4865 I hadnt had a keychain set up before I updated to Maverick, now its asking for a keychain during the start up and i cant access my mac because of it

I'm not able to use my mac book because i didnt set up a keychain before the new IOS was installed, I've created a keychain on my phone but as of yet have recieved no info as to how to get onto my macbook because irts continueously asking for a "keychain passcode" which apparently I dont have.... I've tried literally every passcode ive ever had for anything and nothing works... please help me :-*(

I responded to your first post and assumed that you didn't have a computer. If I was wrong, I apologize for misreading your question.
Did you totally erase the device and not restore from a backup? If you totally erased the device and set up as new, the passcode should not be on the device.

Black screen (or screen refresh) during the process of start up. T400, Vista home basic.

My 2 weeks old T400 Vista home basic can start up successfully. But every time when I start or restart it, during the start process, after inputting the password, there are 4 times of black screen (or screen refresh). Is it normal? Thanks.

Logon Failed using Crystal Report XI

I wrote a VB 6 app that has the CRViewer and calls (.rpt's). The ".rpt's" use a MS Access 2003 database. This database DOES NOT have any security in the way of passwords. This application runs on a "stand-alone" system NO SERVER IS INVOLVED.
The program and Crystal Reports work fine on my system. About a week ago, I tried to install Crystal Reports Release 2. I had a lot of problems. I deleted it and re-installed CR from my install cd's. Ever since then, I have had the following problem:
I use MS Package and Deployment system to create the "Setup and Install" package. Ever since the above problem with Release 2, when I install and run the package on a different system, when I try to access the reports, I am getting a "Logon Failed" error message. PRIOR to trying to install Release 2, I never had this error message. I have no idea what is causing the problem.
I even deleted and recreated the database--same problem exist.
I have a very small scale-down version of this app. Is there any way I can send a "zip" file to you?
Please, I have a deadline on this project. I need some serious help ASAP.
In an effort to help resolve this problem, here is code from the scaled-down version: Prior to running this code, ReportPath = App.Path and ReportName = "Report1.rpt"
This code is from my CRVIEWER form:
Private Sub Form_Activate()
Set craxreport = craxapp.OpenReport(ReportPath & "\" & ReportName)
    If ReportName = "Report1.rpt" Then
    End If
DoReport:
    DoEvents
' ==============================================================================
    Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
    crviewer1.Refresh
    crviewer1.Zoom "100"
    While crviewer1.IsBusy
        DoEvents
    Wend
    crviewer1.ReportSource = craxreport
    crviewer1.Refresh
    crviewer1.ViewReport
    crviewer1.Refresh
    Set craxreport = Nothing
    Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set craxapp = CreateObject("Crystalruntime.application.11")
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Resize()
Me.Height = Screen.Height
Me.Width = Screen.Width
Me.Top = 0
Me.Left = 0
crviewer1.Top = 0
crviewer1.Height = Me.ScaleHeight
crviewer1.Width = Me.ScaleWidth
frmCRPrint.Refresh
End Sub
This code is the "Connection" string:
Public ReportPath As String
Public craxapp As New CRAXDRT.Application
Public craxreport As CRAXDRT.Report
Public CRXDatabaseField As CRAXDRT.DatabaseFieldDefinition
Public ReportName As String
Public pconSports As ADODB.Connection
Public Sub OpenConnections()
Set pconSports = New ADODB.Connection
        pconSports.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & App.Path & "\Sports.mdb" & ";Persist Security Info=False"
        ReportPath = App.Path
    pconSports.Mode = adModeReadWrite
    pconSports.Open

OK, a few details to go over.
You do not need all of the below references:
Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Library 11.0
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Design and Runtime Library 11.0
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Library 11.0
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Run Time Library 11.0
As long as you are not using report creation APIs, you only need
Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Library 11.0
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Run Time Library 11.0
Which means you'd be using the craxdrt.dll (Dim myApp as New Craxdrt.Application), and the MSM files you need would be; crystalreports11_RDC_Runtime.msm, crystalreports11_RDC_license.msm (you need to add the keycode to this) and crystalreports11_RDC_reportEngine.msm.
If you are using report creation APIs, you do not need Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Run Time Library 11.0.
Re. creation of deployment package:
I reloaded CR XI on my Development System Build 11.0.0.895
I installed CR XI on my other PC(Test) Build 11.0.0.895
During the creation of the Install Package using MS Package and Deployment System
I do not believe the MS Package and Deployment Wizard that came with VB 6 can handle MSM files(?). To use MS files, you have to use something like MS Visual Installer, InstallShield, Wise, etc.

CRVS2010 Beta 2 - "Database Logon failed" Error, after Upgrade

Hi,
Generally: we are using the Crystal Reports in combination with a DataSet, that is filled during runtime and pushed to the report, using "SetDataSource". The Project is an ASP .NET 3.5 Project, published on our server.
I upgraded my development-machine to CRVS2010 (installed both packages - the CRVS for VS 2010 and the runtime) last week and changed some fields in the Report. The DataSet was left unchanged. Everything is working well on my development-machine, but when I publish the Project to our server, I get an "Databse Logon failed" Error, when I want to create my Report. The CRVS2010 Beta 2 redist Runtime is installed on our server. Here is the code, we use:
// create new Report
var report = new Reports.repMyReport();
// DataSource ds was filled correctly (we checked with export to XML
report.SetDataSource(ds);
// Set several Parameters to Report
report.SetParameterValue("test", "test");
// Export Report to PDF-Format and open in Browser
report.ExportToHttpResponse(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, false, "reportName.pdf");
Response.End();
The error I get is:
Database logon failed.
[COMException (0x8004100f): Database logon failed.]

I already tried everything, found googling the web and/or searching this forum:
e.g.: perform "verify Database" on all Reports and map the DataSet.xsd again to the Report
Is that a known issue on the Beta and we should wait for the RC, or does anyone have an idea how to fix that one?
This error is really annoying!
Many thanks for your help.
kind regards
Reinhard

Dear Ludek,
Many thanks for your quick reply. Currently, I have to finish some other things. I will try your ideas next week and give you some feedback then, to keep you informed.
best regards,

Hi daveormond,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iMac. If you continue to have issues with your Mac shutting down part way through the boot up process, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful (given your description, it sounds like it could be either issue, or a combination of both):
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup - Apple Support
