HT1338 My Macbook keeps logging me out and deleting my work

My mac book pro keeps logging me out randomly and when i log back in every web page and word document i had open has gone.
Iv lost lots of work and e-mails through this..... I have just changed the log out time settings to never....hopefully that works but is what my macbook was doing normal!!??
Thanks

Are there other users on your Mac? The reason I ask is that when you have to reenter your password if it has logged you out you'll see all of the user names....if the screen just went to sleep and required a password to wake then only your user name will show.
Are you sure that require password isn't checked in security?

  • Game center keeps logging me out, and then tries to log in with an old email address!

    It will stay logged in for so long and then I will open an app and it will ask me to log in with my old email address, which has been deleted from everywhere I can think of. Help!!!!!

    I've tried all the tricks but have the same issue. iPad 2 with latest iOS update. If I force close all apps and power off then go into settings and sign into Game Center again  it stays ok for about a day. But then it's back to signing in every few minutes as I switch games. Apple it's on you now!

  • BT Openzone keeps logging me out

    Ever since I got my iPhone, I've had trouble using BT Openzone. BT Openzone keeps logging me out and bringing up a login page in Safari, even if I stop using it for only several minutes but stay on the hotspot. I've spoken to Orange and BT, but although they admit there must be a fault, they haven't resolved it. I understand that I need to log in once to BT Openzone using my mobile number and password that Orange give me, and then BT Openzone is supposed to remember my iPhone's MAC address indefinitely if I subsequently connect to any BT Openzone hotspot. The password that Orange issued me (which I can't change) is not designed for repeated use, as it can't be easily remembered or typed. What could be causing this, and should it be Orange or BT whom I pressure to resolve it?

    I had the same problem with BTOpenzone. I resolved it my just turning the option Settings/Wi-fi/'Ask to Join Networks' to OFF.
    Thanks for the reply. However, clearly the problem is server-side rather than client-side, given that returning clients are recognised through their MAC address rather than any client-side settings that a wireless network is unable to interrogate. Therefore I did not expect the advice of changing client-side settings to work, and it didn't when I tried it.
    BT Openzone today told me that when I log into BT Openzone, they transmit my MAC address to Orange for authentication. If Orange doesn't validate my MAC address immeditely, then the login page is presented in the browser for me to enter my user ID and password, which is likewise transmitted to Orange for authentication. BT are blaming this failure to recognise my MAC address on Orange. Are they right?

  • My macbook pro keeps logging me out whenever I try to software update. How do I get it to stop and is this something I need to worry about?

    Recently my macbook started logging me out at random times and then I thought that maybe if I updated the software it won't do it anymore but whenever I go to click on the software update icon it logs me out. I'm worried that this might be something serious. Any ideas?

    You've posted this once already.

  • Macbook pro keeps logging me out after using migration assistant

    Hello All,
    I have a Macbook pro (bought it two years ago). It used to shut down automatically. Took it to Apple after backing up using time machine. They installed a fresh OS on it and took everything else out. I made a dummy account and no more shut downs happend so I migrated my old account over using MA. Now all my accounts are there but as soon as I log in, it logs me out !!! no error message.
    Help would be appreciated.

    i have a macbook pro and just recently after a shutdown, it now keeps logging me out right after i sign into my mac. I tried disk repair, file permissions repair and safe mode and none fixed/ nor safe mode got me inside my mac.
    I want to save some files I have on there but can't because I cannot log in.
    How were you able to run a disk repair? Did you do that from an install disc?
    Can you boot into "single-user" mode? If so there are some commands you can run that will allow you to look into logs files, where you might find the reason for your problem.

  • Icloud numbers wont load and keeps logging me out of icloud

    I'm trying to load up the numbers app on www.icloud.com using a laptop. I can get login to my account but as soon as I try and load the app, it crashes, logs me out and takes me back to the main screen to log back in again. I've tried to load other apps and nothing else seems to have this problem, occasionally it wont log on to the icloud website and kicks me straight back out but if I try straight away to login then it works and gets me to the home screen.
    This is on a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7.

    1. try to sign in once on iTunes
    2. try to get a new password for your apple id
    3. try to restore your iPhone using iTunes

  • Expose keeps logging me out

    Hardware / Software
    Macbook Pro 2.2Ghz i7
    16GB Memory
    AMD Radeon HD 1024MB
    OSX 10.9.5
    So I ran some system update yesterday to stay compliant with my company's security policies, and ever since then my computer keeps logging me out every time I do a 3 finger swipe to show all of my workspaces. I'm used to having 2-3 active workspaces at a time, and I was meaning to re-order some of the workspaces, but as soon as the workspace display drops down, all of the sudden I just logout. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

    Feeling silly now. A simple reboot seems to have resolved the issue.

  • My Mac keeps logging me out of my account

    It started this morning immediately after I turned on my Mac Pro. I have 3 accounts on the MP, and I logged in to my usual account, after about one second, after the desktop loads etc, it logs me out automatically. This keeps happening. I am able to log into the other 2 accounts on the same Mac with no problem. Unfortunately, the bulk of my work is in the account that keeps logging me out automatically.
    I have reset my PRAM, fixed and repaired disk permissions etc. to no avail. Any suggestions?

    You probably have a login item or something set to load when you log in that's causing the issue.
    I'd try a safe boot. Power off, then on, when you hear the chime, hold the Shift key. Release it when you see the spinning gear. This boot takes longer than normal because it clears your font caches and runs a disk check. It'll take you to the login window. Log into your account. One of the advantages of a safe boot is that it disables login items, so if you can log in successfully with a safe boot, go into System Preferences > Accounts, select your account, select the Login Items tab on the right, and remove any login items. Reboot (normally this time) and make sure all's well.
    You can also look in Console to see what is crashing, that will helpfully allow you to narrow it down to a specific app or process.

  • Yosemite suddenly logs me out and in again

    Since updating to Yosemite I am facing some strange issues.
    While surfing of Working on my MacBook Pro (Late 2011) it suddenly logs me out and immediate in again.
    All open windows reappear but the whole startup procedure starts again.
    All connected or opened Drives and Images need to be reopened.
    As I'm working with this Computer also for my DJ-Gigs I think it's a very high risk at the moment to do a gig with this OS.
    I don't want to get logged out suddenly during the audience is listening to the music.
    Any guesses?
    Is it a bug or a new feature which can be switched off?
    I already checked for the Autologout after XX minutes of inactivity - it's not activated in my Preferences.

  • OEM keeps logging me out

    I am using OEM DBConsole (database version 11.2) and it keeps logging me out after so many minutes of inactivity unless I happen to be in one of the performance monitoring screen that automatically refreshes every xx seconds.
    I've had the same issue with OEM Grid Control.
    Is there a setting someplace to turn this off so it doesn't continue to log me out?

    Well darn... now I have problems to get it started again.
    I made copies of the file(s) before making changes, and even copied back the original files.
    But when I attempt to start the dbconsole, it says "Failed" and I cannot connect to it using my browser.
    Something is obviously wrong.
