GDM crashes when I enter the password of any user and try to log in

It crashes and starts over again with no error message whatsoever. It won't let me log in as me or as the root user. I had to boot the kernel into single user mode to remove gdm from the daemons array in /etc/rc.conf.
This is a fresh install of arch, I just installed it last night from the netinstall image and I haven't touched gdm or any of its configurations. Can anyone help me find out what to do now?
Booting gnome after I login from the shell works fine.

Now I log in from the regular login shell after I had removed gdm from the daemons array in /etc/rc.conf. The system is currently up to date.
After poking in /var/log/gdm, I got this ":0-greeter.log" http://paste.pocoo.org/show/323740/
I think at the end that's what causes it to crash:
gnome-settings-daemon: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.
gnome-settings-daemon: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.
I think it might have something to do with me installing gnome-settings-daemon-pulse replacing gnome-settings-daemon last night. Was I suppose to configure it further?

I am being asked to verify my Apple ID. When I enter the password I get the message it is wrong. It says the e-mail address is already verified for another Apple ID and then it says it is sending an e-mail to my e-mail account that I then never receive.

This is most likely caused by an iCloud sign up (which forces you to use an email address as Apple ID).
Here's the workaround fix I found after some online research:

I already checked that one.
I'm baffled, especially since it will usually give you the Invalid user name or password entered message. I'm not getting that. Instead the password field just jiggles back and forth. Very odd.

I am unable to connect to my WIFI.It keeps asking for a password and when i enter the password it says that is unable to connect or i have entered an incorrect password

I am not able to connect to my Wifi. It keeps asking for a password and when i enter the password it either says Unable To Connect or Incorrect Password.
This occurred only after installing a new Wifi router from Qtel (service provider). any assisyance is greatly appreciated.

You should call Qtel technical support and ask for help.
Where did you get the password that you are trying? What does it look like? (Length, type of characters)
Do you know what type of security is being used? WEP, WPA, WPA2

I am unable to restore my subscription. I receive the following error message when I enter the password: " Apple ID doesn't exists or the password is wrong".

My Apple TV recognises my wifi network but will not connect to it, when I enter the password

Help please - my Apple TV recognises my wifi network but will not connect to it, when I enter the password - it just says 'there was a problem connecting to the network - check your settings and try again (5).' What should I do next?

people repport that apple products in general I believe have problems with support for the outdated encryption type called wep encryption which is also pretty useless and easy to break
if you use that try disabling it or changing to wpa encryption
if you use MAC address filtering in your router then you need to add the appletv's MAC address to the positive list

Music purchased on ipad wont play on computer. I get a message which says that the computer is not authorised to play the track but when I enter the password I get the message saying that the computer is already authorised. I have the opposite problem transfering some but not all music from computer to ipad. Can anyone help?

Interesting. Maybe it is more of a DRM issue than an Apple ID ownership issue. There is actually an iTunes Support section here on the discussion boards. If you wish to continue troubleshooting, you might post your question over there and refer to this discussion thread. You can also contact someone in Apple iTunes Support.

Kernel panics are usually hardware.
Hold down 'd' key and it should boot into Apple Hardware Test, or insert your OEM install DVD to do so.
No, we are mere users and mortals and usually you need to do some troubleshooting by trial and error and testing. Schedule an appointment.

I saved docs from a iMac to a flashdrive but when I plug the flashdrive into an iBookG4 and try to open the docs on the flashdrive, I get this message: Doc 2 cannot be opened. The required index.xml file is missing. Does this mean that I can't use the info on the flashdrive with the iBookG4 or can I do something to get the required index.xml file?

Hello everyone, So When I use the eraser on a photo and try to save it as jpeg is makes is save it as a copy but the parts that I erased are replaced with a white background and thats not what I want

Hello everyone, So When I use the eraser on a photo and try to save it as jpeg is makes is save it as a copy but the parts that I erased are replaced with a white background and thats not what I want

That may not be what you want, but Jpeg images are flattened, without transparency. Every pixel has a color value, with the default background usually being white. If you want to crate an image that leaves the erased area transparent, you will need to use an image format such as .gif or .pnc.

I cannot get past the password screen on my old laptop - I'm entering the password I always used and it is not working

I am trying to log on to an old laptop and I cannot get past the password screen - I'm using the password I always used and it is not working. Even the clue doesn't help. Is there anything I can do. The last time it was turned on the apple staff transferred data to my new laptop. Help

If the old Macbook(?) has Snow Leopard 10.6 installed, and you have that retail install disc or the system disc of the current (base level) system on it, you could use the installer disc as a boot volume and use the utilities on the booted install disc to reset the password. It should be a menu option in the booted Install disc, way short of any effort to re-install anything. And if your computer can do this, the same DVD has Disk Utility, to check/repair the Mac HDD.
What OS X version do you have, & what MacBook, etc is that?
Good luck & happy computing!

My iPad 2 will not connect to wireless. It recognized the wireless address but when I enter the password it just spins

My ipad2 will not connect to wireless. It recognizes our router but when I put in password it just spins.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Crashing when I enter the Explorer

Got my upgrade yesterday see specs below. Installation went OK. I have managed to flash the BIOS to 9.1. Right now running memtest on RAM, seems to check out OK. BUT...
3 times out of 4 when I´ve tried using WindowsKey + E to enter the explorer, I get a black screen. System reboots by itself. This problem seems very basic but is brand new to me.
Any thoughts or tips would be greatly appreciated!
Lupander

Also have you tried Memtest86 The reason is that there are many utils called Memtest but you need to run the right one to do a good low level test.
What is the diference between http://www.memtest.org and http://www.memtest86.com?
Thanks
