Firefox distorted large, scaled images

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with Firefox 3.5.5-1 (it persists in 3.6b5 from AUR) when zooming large images that extend beyond the screen.
Using this random test image: http://homepage.mac.com/tribe3/.Pictures/test.jpg my browser produces a correctly scaled partial image while loading it: but when its finished it switches to a completely distorted version of a part of the image: .
If I zoom in and display the image in its original size everything is fine.
Another problem that may relate to this are some small images (i.e. logo) on youtube .
I tested it with a new user, so it is not dependent on any addons or profile settings.
I am using the radeon driver with an x1800 mobile.
Does someone know whether firefox uses some library/non-mozilla code to display images and rescale them? Then I could test whether this is actually a bug with firefox or maybe some driver/X/etc. issue.
I searched and found no directly related problems and no similar bugs at the mozilla bugtracker, so maybe I should open a bug there. I think however that it is somehow related to my Arch install, as my Ubuntu 8.10 install does not suffer from this (using older Xorg/driver versions however).
Any hints on this problem? Anyone experiencing the same?

For the scaling problem, actually there is no solution yet.
If i wasn't wrong, in the past (years ago) mozilla pointed to a cairo issue.

When I open firefox a large blurred logo show up with a figure holding a sign that says click here. Is this caused by a virus? What's going on?

Every time I open Firefox a large distorted logo (world image) shows up with a figure holding a sign that says click here. I'm concerned that I'v picked up malware/virus? I rebooted and it still occurs. Any thought?

If you prefer not to see the snippets on the about:home page or otherwise experience problems with a snippet then you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page.
Delete the storage\persistent\moz-safe-about+home folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Exit/Quit) to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default snippet set.
You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref via the right-click context menu to the default value to re-enable the snippets and make Firefox recreate the moz-safe-about+home folder.
You need to close and restart Firefox after changing the value of the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Firefox doesnt load an image when *lots* of tabs are open

Hi,
An old website I created has a problem displaying a very large background image when *loads* of tabs are open (which makes me think its something to do with memory).
An example page of the site in question is:
http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/about-us
The white background image (which is super large for reasons not to discuss now) will show fine when, say, up to 10 tabs are open. However, if you have loads and loads of tabs open, this image doesn't display/render (even though firebug says it has).
Some info about the image:
http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/sites/all/themes/southbank-centre/images/template-3-col.png
79.6kb
940px by 23000px (super huge I know)
The problem is when it doesnt load, the copy is hard to read (as you can imagine).
This doesnt seem unique to my computer. It happens to other peoples firefox browsers (and they have slightly different versions and different plug-ins).

I'm not having any problems on that page with over 80 tabs open and the number of tabs shouldn't matter.
Did you check if you can reproduce it with a clean new profile without extensions?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Scaled image doesn't appear

Hi, can someone tell me why the scaling of the image does not work in the code below.
I making a board game application with these inherited JLabel components used to display each players piece on a background created using an inherited JPanel. The image is correctly displayed on the JPanel at the correct location.
The problem I'm encountering is that when I attempt to scale the image used the scaledInstance method it doesn't appear on the board but appears perfectly if I use the default image (comment out the scaled instance part of the line).
I've tried downscaling as well increasing size, in case the image is too large and putting absolute values in but to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
package UserInterface;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class PieceIcon extends JLabel
    //Create new image with the piece (symbol) chosen by the player
    public PieceIcon(String symbol,int pNum)
        playerNumber = pNum;
     pieceImage = new ImageIcon("./Images/"+symbol+".jpg").getImage().getScaledInstance(10,10,Image.SCALE_DEFAULT);
        // above line works if scaled instance part removed, even though scaled image smaller
        setOpaque(false);

Is this a way of scaling images?

Hi,
I've got a few questions regarding image scaling and need some advices on whether my method is correct or to throw away as quickly as possible...
I've defined all my website images in "ems" so that they rescale when the user zooms in/out the page or decreases/increases the font. I thought this would be good for accessibility purposes (?).
There are 2 tedious things with that system:
1. the image dimensions must be computed in ems,
2. the image dimensions depend on the text font size used on the page.
If I change the page font size but want to keep my images as they were previously displayed, I need to go through these calculations again. It very quickly gets seriously annoying.
I found one way of avoiding this: I define font-size:1px for each image. The great thing is that since I have body {font-size:100%}, it turns out that when the image has font-size:1px, then its dimensions are the same in pixels or ems. I mean that if I want to display my image with width:50px and height:10px, then I just need to specify width:50em and height:10em. Or at least the result is close enough not to be seen different to the naked eye. This only is useful if I am not modifying too much the page font size, e.g. font-size:0.95em to font-size:1.05em. So I thought this is great! But... there always are associated problems.
Problems found so far:
1. This only works if applied to the image, not its container (e.g. a floating div), so that the font-size doesn't propagate to any child element, e.g. a caption below the image.
2. If the image is inside a div that is floated, then I need to set a width for that div and this width needs to be calculated with respect to the normal page font size, not my 1px—if this makes sense. If I were to change my image dimension, then I'd need to change this width too.
3. It works fine with IE and Firefox, but no Safari and Opera.
Hence the following questions:
- Is this method totally absurd (as it probably sounds after my description) and/or infringing some basic rules?
- Is there anything simpler?
- Why doesn't it work in Safari or Opera?
I'd be very grateful for any comment on this. Having started HTML and CSS only 1.5 month ago and not full time, I have no feeling at this stage whether this is a correct or acceptable way of thinking or not...
Emilie

- Is this method totally absurd
Yes. Scaling images is very easy. Unless all your images are the same width, you will need to create an attribute selector for each image, but the principle is the same for each one.
Let's say you have an image called mypic01.jpg, which is 600px wide.
Remove the width and height attributes from the <img> tag. This displays the image at its normal size.
Create the following style rule:
img[src$="mypic01.jpg"] {
width:50%;
max-width:600px;
This makes the image 50% of the size of its parent element, but ensures that it never grows bigger than its maximum size. Just use the image name in place of "mypic01.jpg", and adjust the correct value for max-width.
The only drawback is that this won't be supported by IE6, which will simply display the image at its normal size. If it's important to support IE6, change from an atttribute selector to an ID selector like this:
#mypic01 {
width:50%;
max-width:600px;
Add the ID to the <img> tag:
<img src="mypic01.jpg" alt="my scaling image" id="mypic01" />
IE6 will ignore the maximum width, but will scale the image to 50% of the size of the parent element.

After rotate, display of large JPEG images very slow.

I am loading and displaying images using JAI and Java2D.
When I load a large grayscale JPEG image (300 dpi, letter size), it displays fine.
After a rotate, the next display is incredibly slow.
Source is a RenderedImage loaded from a JPEG file using:
     FileSeekableStream ss = new FileSeekableStream(file);
     ImageDecoder dec = ImageCodec.createImageDecoder("jpeg", ss, null);
     RenderedImage source = dec.decodeAsRenderedImage(curPage);
I create a scaled image using:
     interp = Interpolation.getInstance(Interpolation.INTERP_BILINEAR);
     ParameterBlock params = new ParameterBlock();
     params.addSource(source);
     params.add(xZoom); // x scale factor
     params.add(yZoom); // y scale factor
     params.add(0.0F); // x translate
     params.add(0.0F); // y translate
     params.add(interp); // interpolation method
RenderedOp image3 = JAI.create("scale", params);
And display inside the paintComponent() method of my JPanel-derived class using:
     AffineTransform transform = new AffineTransform();
     transform.translate(shiftX, shiftY);
     Graphics2D G2d = (Graphics2D)g.create(); //copy g
     G2d.drawRenderedImage(image3, transform);
If I add a rotate step after the scale:
     ParameterBlock paramsR = new ParameterBlock();
     paramsR.addSource(source);
     paramsR.add(TransposeDescriptor.ROTATE_90);
     // Create an operator to turn image.
     source = JAI.create("Transpose", paramsR, null);
Then the next display for a 300 dpi 8 bit grayscale JPEG file can take up to 60 seconds.
The bulk of the elapsed time is inside: Graphics2D.drawRenderedImage(image3, transform);
Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?
I am relatively new to using Java Advanced Imaging.
Thanks,
T.J. Brown

Sorry, a correction.
The file is actually JPEG-compressed data inside a TIFF file.
So the decode step uses:
ImageDecoder dec = ImageCodec.createImageDecoder("tiff", ss, null);
JPEG inside a JFIF file is much faster.
Thanks,
T.J. Brown

Large Still Images into PE - One Workflow

Everyone wants the highest quality that they can obtain when doing their videos. It’s natural to want the best. Well, when dealing with still images, bigger is not necessarily better, for two reasons. First, overly large still images can really tax a system and second, one is limited to the frame size of the video, so these have to be resized somewhere - this resizing can be in the NLE (Non Linear Editor) program, or in an image processing program like PS (Photoshop), which does a better job anyway. Doing this in PS, or PSE, will result in better resized images, and they are easier for the NLE to work with. Quality is as high as your Project’s Preset will allow, and you are more efficient, with fewer crashes, slowdowns and hangs. It is a win-win situation.
Here is my normal workflow when dealing with still images. This workflow is for NTSC 4:3 720x480 with a PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio) of 0.9. If your Project’s Presets are different, use those specs to resize to.
Since I shoot my still images in RAW, I Copy my files from the CF card to my system and catalog these images by location, subject and date (if necessary). I’ll do a quick conversion and Save_As Adobe DNG for backup. I then process these RAW images in PS with the ARC (Adobe Raw Converter), correcting them and then doing a Save_As PSD into a sub-folder. All of this is in my still photo library.
Normally, I will edit these PSD’s to find the images that I wish to use in a Video Project, and will Copy the selected images to another folder. You’ll see that I work with a lot of Copies, so my original files are always untouched and stored elsewhere. This guards against anything happening to them.
At this point, I’ll decide how I wish to use these selected images in my Video Project. Let’s just say that they are all horizontal images, and are still full-size from my camera. As stated, my Video Projects are DV-NTSC 4:3 720x480 PAR 0.9. [Remember, your Video Project may vary, so you will need to plug in the dimensions for YOUR Video Project in that case.] I also will have done my Cropping on each image individually, to get them to 4:3 Aspect Ratio. I do this my eye and by hand, rather than via an Action, because I want full aesthetic control.
In PS, I have a set of Actions for Video. An Action is like a Script, but less powerful and less involved in the writing. As I have already done all of my image enhancements and additional processing before I did my Copy to the selected folder, I only have to worry about my Action resizing these selected images for use in my Video Project. My Action here is to resize to 720x480 with a PAR of 0.9, and I normally use the Action that does this with a particular resizing algorithm, Bicubic-Smoother (though I also use Bicubic-Sharper on occasion).
For the next step, I go to my folder structure (remember, this folder contains copies of my selected still images in PSD format), and create a new sub-folder "[Project Name]_720x480." Back in PS, I choose File>Automate>Batch. Here I set my Source Folder, my Destination folder and the Action to perform. In my case, it’ll be the Destination Folder, that I just created, [Project Name]_720x480, and my Action will be my NTSC 4:3 720x480 Smooth. I check to have the Open command by-passed, because I do not need to see this take place on my monitor. When I hit OK, PS grabs all files in my Source Folder, runs the commands of my Action and does a Save_As for all files into my Destination Folder. I can process hundreds of large images down to a great 720x480 PAR 0.9 via Bicubic-Smoother interpolation, in moments. Now, I’m ready to go. Last, I Copy my Destination Folder to my Video Project’s folder hierarchy (usually on another HDD), and then Import these processed stills into my NLE.
What if I need to pan on one, or more of these images, while they are zoomed out completely? I don’t have enough pixels in my horizontal dimension to do this. I am just filling the frame with my still. Well, if I find that there are such images, I go back to my folder with the full sized images in my still images library, and select the ones that need to be larger. I run another Action on these, but it’s one that resizes to something larger than 720x480, say 1000x750. Now, I have another Destination Folder with the name [File Name]_1000x750. I’ll Copy this over to my Video Project, and Import these into the NLE. Here, I can go to Project Panel and remove the 720x480 versions if I so choose, but since a Premiere Project file (.PRPROJ or .PREL) is only an XML database, I may just leave them. It does not contain any media files, just links to where they are on the system and to what operations are performed on them.
By doing my resizing in PS, rather than in Premiere, I have accomplished two things:
1.) I have better quality resized images, using the algorithms in PS, plus have a choice of several interpolation methods to work with.
2.) I have lessened the processing load on my NLE and on my system, while doing the editing
I get higher quality and lower resource overhead - hence my reference to "win-win."
Now, back to my aesthetic control. I do not do any automatic zooming or panning. If one allows the NLE to do this, then they will want to probably process all of their images to 1000x750 (remember, this is for an NTSC 4:3 Project, so you will need to calculate what YOUR Project will require).
The two programs that I use are Photoshop and Premiere Pro, but Photoshop Elements can do the same things, though the exact commands might be different. Premiere Elements will handle the resized still images, just like Premiere Pro and the only difference will be the terminology used when one wishes to Import the still images.
I also keep all of my images in .PSD (the native format of PS), and do not convert to JPEG, or other. If one’s camera shoots only JPEG, I suggest writing the Action to do the Save_As to .PSD, as another JPEG compression will cost one quality. Yes, the JPEG’s will be smaller, but remember we are looking for the ultimate quality, so larger file sizes are just part of that equation.
One does not have to deal with all of the Copies, as I do. However, this allows me to go back to the originals, or to the processed full-sized .PSD’s at any step along the way. There is only one thing worse than not being able to go back to an intermediate version with full Layers and Adjustment Layers, plus any Alpha Channels, and that is finding out that you’ve lost your original RAW and DNG backups! That’s why I do a lot of Save_As and also work from Copies all along the way.

Your workflow looks good. I do similar, but use PS, in lieu of LightRoom. I also do DNG's for my archives.
Provided that one chooses a JPEG compression algorithm setting that does not do too much compression, I doubt that anyone, but the most very critical, could tell the difference in Video. Most of my tests on PSD vs JPEG have been for print. There, one can more easily detect the differences. Video "hides" some of that.
To date, I have not had a Project where the Asset size differences between equally sized PSD's vs JPEG's caused any slowdown, or problem. There could be a resources savings with the smaller JPEG files, but there is a tiny bit of overhead dealing with the JPEG compression. I have never tested this, so can only guess that the smaller Asset size of the JPEG would trump that overhead - just a guess on my part.
For me, keeping the images in PSD does save a tiny bit of work in my Action (basically one less operation to perform), but I doubt that one could measure that time difference, even over the automation of hundreds of images. Besides, it's only one additional line in the Action. My feelings on JPEG vs PSD is firmly based in my print experience, and I am probably being too critical with images going to video. When I move up to HD and BD authoring, I need to apply a very critical eye, to see if I can tell the differences on an HD TV. So long as one does not apply too much JPEG compression, the differences should be very slight, at the worst, and maybe not even noticed, at best.
I do minimize the impact of many files on my Project by sizing to what I need. If I will not be doing any pans on zoomed-out images, I size to my Project. For pans on zoomed-out images, I calculate just what I will need for those pans, and might end up with several groups of sizes, to accommodate each. Still, the vast majority will be sized to exactly what I need for the Project - very few extra pixels.
In my case, and yours too, I have my RAW, my DNG, my working Layered PSD's, and then my sized output. I always keep all working PSD's, as I might change my mind, or my client might change theirs, and I do not want to have to go back and redo work, if I still have those working files. I also do as little destructive editing, as I can, using Dupe Layers, and Adjustment Layers, whenever possible. If I can, I never Flatten, or Merge Layers, so I can make any/all changes at any time, and only have to do the resizing via the same Actions. That is basically a "one-button" solution, once I have made the changes required.
Good luck,
Hunt

I don't want Firefox to "remember" the folders I've saved in from websites before. How do I return Firefox to its old image saving habits?

I recently got a new computer and upgraded to Firefox 8. Now, when I save an image from a website, Firefox will "remember" and, the next time I save an image, open a random folder that I saved an image in last time I was on that site, and choose to save it there. This wouldn't be a problem if, 1) it wasn't a random folder out of the several I save into, and 2), if I have to cancel out of an image for any reason, the next time I go to save (seconds later, without refreshing/leaving a page), it will have chosen another random folder for me to save in and I'm misplacing my files.
I'd like to return Firefox to the previous image saving habits, where I have to choose the folder each time, and it doesn't "remember" anything that I've done, as it is only causing headaches.

I have been frustrated by the same aggravating Firefox 8 "improvement".
I have several hard drives, several partitions on each hard drive, hundreds of folders on in each partition, and hundreds of subfolders below them. When I am researching something, I download whole Web pages, PDFs, JPEGs, FLVs, and many other files from all over the Web. It is totally frustrating to be taken to different drives all over my computer each time I want to download a new file to the same folder I jut downloaded to. I have to drill up and down drives and folders to get back to where I was.
In previous versions of Firefox, Save As opened in the last folder I saved to, and all I had to do was create a file name and hit Save. In Firefox 8 I am taken to some totally unrelated subfolder on some totally unrelated drive. The folder in which I last downloaded a file from Wikipedia, Fox News, BBC , Flicker, or any other URL usually has absolutely nothing to do with what I am presently researching.
Why would anyone want to make the default download be the desktop? Total clutter and confusion. All I want Firefox to do when I hit the Save As button is to open the same folder I last downloaded '''''anything''''' to irregardless of the URL.
Is there some way via modifying the about:config file that I can change this behavior of Firefox 8?

How do I place a large format image into Illustrator

I am trying to place a large format image that I created in Photoshop into Illustrator. I have tried PSD, TIFF, and JPG. I have even cropped down the image into smaller portions to try to make it easier to work with. Every time I try to Place the image I get a dialogue box saying,"The file 'Water 1.jpg' is in an unknown format and cannot be opened.' Can anyone help with this?

I would guess the file is simply too big. Make sure the document is in RGB mode. If I were you, I would never submit a file that size at 300ppi for large format. Large or grand format printers only need around 100 to 144ppi at 100% final size. Also, set the Illustrator file up at 25% scale and place the image at 25% @ 300ppi ( image resolution ends up around 75ppi which is still plenty when enlarged 400% to final size ). Getting back to the original error message, it could be the system is running out of both RAM and scratch disk space and cannot deal with the preview required. Better to scale the file down for large format.

How to import many large graphic images to fit into column width?

I have a 2-column layout and about 150 large graphic images which must be imported so that they fit exactly into the column width. These are bitmaps which have all the same dimensions. All of them will need a border (stroke). And they should be inline graphics because they belong to exact positions in the text flow.
What would be the sensible approach to that (apart from scripting which I have not done yet)? I tried to define an object style which has the attribute "Fit content to frame", but this does not scale the image to the column size. How can I avoid to format 150 those images manually?

It may be easier to change the ppi in photoshop so the image can be placed at the exact size.
so if the image is 10 inches and the file is 300 ppi
with resample image unchecked change the width to whatever you want it say 2 inches no the ppi will automatically change to 1500 ppi. Save. If you are creating a PDF make sure these images are not downsampled if you need the resolution.
another way if all images are the same size would be to size one and place it where all the images go and relink to the other pics, when you relink it should retain the properties of the previous pic.

Firefox won't save images or web pages, even after upgrading, reinstalling and resetting... How do I fix this?

A couple upgrades ago, I noticed that Firefox wouldn't boot properly. According to "Task Mgr.", it would load partially with a "*32" after it's name in the listing, but not enough to display a window on screen. After ending the process, and restarting the program again it would usually boot fully. (not always, but usually) The "*32" confuses me as I run a 64bit Windows 7 system and during installation I was sure that I saw mention of a 64bit program being installed. Apparently, after the last upgrade, that issue was resolved; but Task Mgr. still lists the program with a "*32" after it.
The issue now at hand is that Firefox won't save images online or save web pages. I'll right-click and select "save image as" or "save page as" and... nothing. No box appears prompting me to name a file or designate a location to save that file to. Nor does anything happen when I use the "File" menu for the same function either. This is, to say the least, is very frustrating. There may be other things not functioning that I'm not currently aware of, but I haven't been able to or had time to do a complete check of the functionality of the program. I've never had issues of any significance with Firefox in the past. It's always been very reliable for me, so I'm hoping there's a relatively quick fix that I simply haven't been made aware of yet...
Thank you for your suggestions and time looking into this matter...
Curtis Laipple

It probably will take a little time to work through this troubleshooting article, but hopefully you will get a complete solution: [[What to do if you can't download or save files]].
Regarding the *32, I see the same thing on Win 7 Pro x64. No worries. Firefox for Windows is compiled only as a 32-bit application.

Scaling image files for Slide presentation in Keynote

I have had great problems importing and scaling images for Keynote presentations with approx 500+ images. Having tried to adjust the image to fit the full screen the scaling results in unacceptable pixelation. I seem to have solved this now by batch processing my image files and saving them as PDF files. These are then imported from the Aperture Library as iPhoto wont recognise the PDF file format!
It's a pity that Keynote has so many restrictions for use in Slide/music presentations, having seen incredible professional results with Pic2exe (which unfortunately at present is not available in Mac format - tho the Win exe file will run I am told).

Please tell us what you are really trying to do!!
You know like dumb stuff like where are the images from? What's their resolution? If you';re using Aperture you can't be a newbie.
You can achieve incredible professional results in Keynote, but you need to know how it wants to work.
Kelly is right. This is not just a ***** session but a place to get real help from real people.

Black background when scaling images with transparent background

I am implementing Zooming functionality for reports which have some icons. I am trying to scale icon by scaling its image. But the problem I am facing is that the icons have transparent background and the scaling puts a black background in place of transparent. Is there any way to maintain its transparency or better yet, Is there anyway to put a white backgound instead of the black one that is created by default ? Here is my code
     public static Icon getScaledIcon(Icon icon){
         if(icon instanceof ImageIcon){
              Image outImage = ((ImageIcon)icon).getImage();
                  return new ImageIcon(getScaledImage(outImage));
         }else{
              Image outImage = new BufferedImage(icon.getIconWidth(),
                        icon.getIconHeight(),
                        BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
                JComponent comp = new JComponent(){};
                icon.paintIcon(comp, outImage.getGraphics(), 0, 0);
                return new ImageIcon(getScaledImage(outImage));
    public static Image getScaledImage(Image image){
         image = image.getScaledInstance((int)(image.getWidth(null) * getScale()),
                       (int)(image.getHeight(null) * getScale()), Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
        return image;
    }I haven't done much image manipulation , so I would really appreciate any help or advice.

I have also not done much of image work. But I guess you could achieve your functionality of showing scaled image in the screen by not scaling the image and show it, instead scale the image in paint method by calling g.drawImage giving the height and width. But use high resolution images so that scaling is good.
If you do in this manner, you could give any colour you want as background to fill the transparent area or leave it as such.

__Can I merge one large Bitmap image into another?

__Can I merge one large Bitmap image into another?
I have 2 very large hi-res Bitmaps that I want to merge together into 1 file without converting to grayscale or anything. The problem is the second Bitmap is like a 'patch' and I want to insert it into the other like a puzzle piece, while maintaining corect registration (the bitmaps combine to a 4 colour seperation).
Thanks in advance!

1bit Bitmap offers no layer capabilities so going through grayscale seems advisable. (Edit: Naturally one should at the end of the combination process convert to bitmap again.)

Safari, firefox both stopped loading images suddenly

Everything was working great, then suddenly both safari and firefox stopped loading all images. Ebay, Amazon, Netflix and so on, even the mac store site will not load the images. I am using Safari 6. I have done all the updates, cleared all the caches, did all the suggested things the forums said. Change DNS and so on, nothing is working. I don't understand how this could happen. Can someone please help!!!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
