Get logged out seconds after I login

When I log in I see the desktop for a split second and then I get the login screen again. I have run disk repair and repair permissions via the OSX Snow Leopard install disk to no avail. I have a backup bootable disk so I can access the drive. I am thinking some startup preference is corrupted. Are there some preferences I can delete from my user directory?

Check and see if you've got too many things running concurrently. Double-click the home key to see your list of most recent programs. Press and hold the icons in the app tray until they jiggle, and then remove the ones you don't need. Even when programs are "closed" they still leave footprints in memory so that if you were to re-access that program, it will open up faster. This should free up some memory.
If you don't have many apps installed and running, then I am not sure what would be causing your problems.

Its a newer retina MBP. HOW DO I STOP THIS?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line

to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

I keep getting logged out of iCloud and iMessenger on my iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.3

I keep getting logged out of iCloud and iMessenger on my iPhone 5s. I have iOS 8.1.3, I've logged out of everything, restarted, logged back in, I've fully erased and reset the phone, I've done everything every blog has suggested and it is still not working properly. I've even had to fully erase my iPad because it started acting as the primary device so I was not getting any messages on my iPhone. I did update my password a while ago but even after that the phone and iPad were working fine, then within the last few month's I've been dealing with this issue.
Please help, I've literally tried every fix everyone has suggested on this subject and nothing is working. I'm strongly tempted to change from an Apple device at this point.

Reset your phone - no data loss
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If that does not fix the problem - back up your phone to iTunes and restore as new
See if the problem is solved before you restore from backup or load any apps
Please post your results

I keep getting logged out safari iphone

I keep getting logged out of websites on iphone when using safari. ios8.1.2
I have an iPhone 6+ and I find this happens when using the tabs of safari. Each time I swich tabs I get logged out of whatever site/forum i was on.
These are sites I log into and tick the remember box so should stay logged.
I also have an iPad and I don't get this problem on the iPad - the sites keep me logged in as expected.
Can anyone help please?

I had the same problem, and have now solved it.
Go to System Preferences, then Security, and untick "Log out after 10 minutes of inactivity".

I know one of it is when the maximum login time is reach, the user will get logged out but what other scenario's can a user get logged out?

Hi,
One reason is listed in the link below

How do I make sure I don't constantly get logged out of my google account in Safari?

I use Google Reader, Calendar/Tasks etc as a bookmarked site in Safari on my iPhone (4S). I constantly getted logged out everyday and have to keep logging back in, authenticating (2 step auth. setup) and it's extremely irritating and I often just not use my phone and wait until I get home.
Any ideas?
Your help would be greatly appreciated!

The Google app does exactly the same thing for me. It does however keep me logged into the app, but as soon as I choose which Google service I wish to use (ie Reader, Tasks etc) then I have been logged out.
Also, I don't use any exchange features, it's just a personal phone with no special setups.

Always get logged out: OS X 10.7.5, Safari 6.0.3

All of a sudden I am getting logged out of Adobe forums when I quit Safari. This is the only web site where this happens.

Bob,
Good news.
In my case, it was a one-off occurance, and as it matched pretty closely with what Curt encountered, will assume that there was an issue with the Adobe/Jive servers (maybe needing to sync nodes?), and all is good for me now too.
Also, I have encountered a few glitches with my Chrome on a PC, with Adobe cookies. One, or more, blocked my access to the Adobe Store, and I had to use IE, instead. I could have cleaned out the Adobe cookies from Chrome, but not knowing which one(s) caused the issue, would have meant resetting everything, and a "clean" IE was easier on my part. Just little oddities out there.
Good luck,
Hunt

I keep getting logged out when navigating lengthy threads on my website.

Each time I try to navigate off of a lengthy thread on my website I get logged out.
It often happens when I try to submits posts also.

'''PLEASE HELP!'''
This is OP again.
Can someone at least point me in the right direction?
Would it be:
A browser problem?
A computer problem?
A website problem? (issue with FUD etc.)
I am using a dial up service *sigh* and I keep getting logged off more frequently
than ever.
Like nearly ALL problems I have it's most likely a setting that I have screwed up.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

Keep Getting Log Out of Creative Cloud

I've kept getting logged out of Creative Cloud today. What's going on? It was working fine yesterday. But today, I've been asking to log in every time I open PhotoShop CC. Logging in was successful every time, so the adobe server and my account appears to be fine. But why my logon doesn't stick? Plus, shouldn't the CC apps "cache" my status for a month before requiring me to log on again?

After latest update, I keep getting logged out of my email, even in the middle of reading emails!

Approximately two weeks ago, I installed an update to Firefox. Immediately after that, I keep getting signed out of my email, even while I'm in the middle of reading it or composing an email! It's very frustrating!

Check the Security panel of System Preferences and see if there's a select under the "General" tab of "Log out after xx minutes of inactivity". If that's not the case, launch the Console utility and see if there are any messages that might explain the log out.

Please Help. Getting logged out automatically, cant see why!!

Hi all
If we leave our Mac for any time and let it go to sleep sometimes when it is woken up you are greeted with a black screen with a plain text message in blue (which is not in a window but directly on the background) which says...
"You have only one minuet left to use your computer.
Please close your documents and quit your session to avaiod data loss.
Click to continue."
When you click to continue we are returned to our respective account and can continue to work for a Minuet after which time the account is logged out and the Mac returns to the Log-in window.
I have no idea why this is happening and it is getting rather annoying.
First let me say that the auto log-out feature in the Security Sys Pref IS disabled! I haven't installed any new Software recently which is likely to do this.
This morning it happened in my wifes account and I checked the log files in Console for any messages which might help. The system.log stated that "??? crashed". There was an entry written to CrashReporter ???.crash.log at the time the logout occured which I include below...

This log entry is not very helpful at all. It seems to me like a system component crash??
There are 4 user accounts on my Mac. Mine, my Wifes, my Daughters (which is strongly restricted using Parental Controls) and a Test User Account. I have not had a chance to see if the same happens in the Test Account yet...
What is the "System Events" Application? It is in my wifes account login items but not mine which I find rather strange.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey
Will do that. However I think I might have found out what is causing it. I have Watcher installed which will time different users computer use. It will also allow you to assign users so much time for each user befor they will be logged out. I think I have had a prference set wrongly and that is what is happening. After 23hrs 59min any user will be logged out. I have reset the pref and will see what happens.
Thanks for your help amyhow...
