Getting Kicked off my own computer...

Greetings all...
I recently updated my PowerMac G4 Quicksilver from 10.5.3 to 10.5.4. After doing the update, I rebooted, logged in, only to be sent back to the login screen after the finder had finished launching. I've logged back in several times after fixing the permissions, or even booting in safe mode and still not more than 10 seconds of my desktop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it sounds like some process is crashing and killing your user session. do you have a different account on your computer? if not try [logging in as root|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1278]. if that doesn't work you probably have a failed upgrade. do you have a backup?

My computer keeps getting kicked off wifi and says there is a connection timeout.

My computer keeps getting kicked off the wifi- it's not s problem with the wifi because all my other wireless products are working just fine. What could the problem be? It will connect for about 5 seconds and then says the there is a connection timeout.

Delete the Wi-Fi connection in the Network preference pane, then recreate it with the same settings. Any difference?

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. It is not an issue with the service/router. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport... anyone know what's up with this?

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?

Try this:
Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
Apply this.

Getting kicked off of VNC connection when logging into server

We have noticed that when we log into the VNC server, and sign into the console of the server, that we get kicked off of the VNC connection. If we wait a few seconds then connect again we get the desktop of the server.
What is causing this? I use JollysFastVNC 0.98.50 (928701) and a coworker of mine uses ChickenoftheVNC, both are on Macs. It is very annoying. I do like that when I'm done and I log off of the console that it also logs me out of the VNC connection. But kicking me out for logging in is absurd.
Thanks,
Ben
PS. The server is Mac OS X 10.6.1 on a Mac Mini last generation, since they just came out with a new one.

I linked to the free client. That is what runs on the computer that you you turn on in System Preferences --> Sharing, so you are going to want to install that on the server, not the machine you are connecting from. If you installed it on both it doesn't matter—it was there anyway as part of the OS. It is built into the OS, but a reinstall can fix problems and makes sure you have the latest version. The ARD application is what you would use to connect with from the machine you are sitting in front of. That is what costs money. Apple calling the software "client" can be confusing.
Have you turned on the VNC option under either Screen Sharing or Remote Management. You will need that to connect with a third party VNC app like JollysFastVNC or Tight. If you don't turn that on then the built in Screen Sharing app should just work (accessible from Safari or the Connect to Server dialog in finder by typing vnc://ipofserver)
It is hard to say if this is a SL bug, or a problem on your network since you only have one machine to test. You could try running Vine Server on your server. You will want to change it's port to something else like 5901, or at least turn off Screen Sharing so it doesn't conflict ports. If you change the port you would connect by typing vnc://ipofserver:5901
In Vine be sure to use System Server (under Server menu) to keep vine running all the time, even after a reboot.

Getting kicked off?

Ok, Can someone please tell me what the heck is going on.
When ever i click on "edit" I get kicked off of dreamweaver. Then i
get this box with this saying: "The application dreamweaver has
unexpectedly quit. The system and other application have not been
affected." This has never happen before. I've only had dreamweaver
for less then 4 weeks, and I haven't downloaded anything new. I
have been using dreamweaver everyday, and this is the first time of
this happening. All the other buttons at the top work just fine.
It's only the "edit" button at the top that makes the application
quite. I have restarted the application 3 times, and each time i
hit "edit" it happens all over again. Please HELP!

Yowsers! Have you restarted your computer? If it still does
that I'd try reinstalling Dreamweaver. If it still does it then I'd
probably call Adobe.

Hello there Joanny,
I have a neat lil gem here about troubleshooting wifi connectivity on the Mac OS platform. Named Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6 it can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628?viewlocale=en_US. I recommend this section first:
Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
And this section if needed: Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet.
Take care,
Sterling

I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop. One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700. How can I get these off of my computer?

I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop. One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700. How can I get these off of my computer?

From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?

Getting kicked off of ichat

Okay, I am getting kicked off of ichat without even knowning that I am offline. I am hooked up through a linksys wireless router wrt54g model. Also, I ALWAYS get an error message when trying to connect to videochat. any help on this would be great!
Thank you in advance.

Hi Trenchtown,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
If you mean that when you have logged in to the AIM servers that you get silent drops in connection...
(iChat looks like it is connected but Buddies report you look off line and during chats the Texts. stop coming and they don't get yours)
Then go to the Airport icon in the Menu Bar if you have it there and Select Signal Robustness.

I keep getting kicked off of my wifi on my macbook pro. It is the wifi in my house. I get kicked off like every few minutes or so. Why is this and how can I stop it?

I keep getting kicked off of my wifi on my macbook pro. It is the wifi in my house. I get kicked off like every few minutes or so. Why is this and how can I stop it?

I think the other devices are fine. I'm not sure. It usually only happens like a couple days out of the week. I do know that the network I'm using when I click on the wifi symbol at the top of my screen doesn't have a padlock on it. It IS MY network that is at my house, but maybe that has something to do with it.

I keep getting kicked off of my wifi with my MacBook Pro but not with my IPAD?

I keep getting kicked off of my wifi with my MacBook Pro but not with my IPAD, what do I do?

Hi, mmayers.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing. However, the issue could be a little more complex. Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology. Below, I have included two articles. The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting. The second article covers the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.
