HT1492 My new macbook pro will not recognize my password

I opened my macbook pro 13.3 last nightt for the first time, when I went to shut down it asked for my password. I entered what I thought was the same password I have for my other coomputer. This morning it won't recognize it. I must have made a keystroke error but there is no way to change  it. I can't get beyond the user picture, Shouldn't I have a secodn chance, It's very unforgiving.

  • My new Macbook Pro will not recognize my iphone in itunes...

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro and was able to get all my files and such from my old computer, which was a Macbook about 4 years old. But the problem now is that when I plug in my iphone to the new computer it will not recognize the phone in my itunes. I authorized the computer for my itunes account and everything is updated I'm pretty sure... so how can I get my new computer to "accept" my iphone?

  • Macbook pro will not recognize startup password

    my macbook pro  ( one month old)is running the latest yosemite and suddenly will not recognise my startup password. after trying a few times it does not give me option to use my apple id to change the password. It just jitters and doesn't start up. How do I recover.

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    Another reason why the password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can select one of the available layouts by choosing from the flag menu in the upper right corner, if it's showing, or cycle through them by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password. In OS X 10.10 and later, this option also works with FileVault, but only if you enabled it when you activated FileVault. It's not retroactive.
    Otherwise*, start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
    In the window that opens, type this:
    resetp
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is active.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but the Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as the login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

  • Macbook Pro will not recognize my external hard drive

    I just updated to a newer MacBook Pro.  I ran Time Machine on my old Macbook from a 2TB external USB hard drive.  When I hooked the hard drive to my new Mac, it wouldn't allow me to select it as the drive for Time Machine.  So I dismounted the hard drive and hooked it back to my old macbook to see if it still registered there (which it did).  Now when I try and hook the hard drive to my new macbook, it will not recognize it at all.  First question, why will it not recognize my new macbook, and second question, why does Time Machine not recognize the hard drive?  It has my old time machine files on it...hopefully I don't have to reformat it and lose all my backup??

    My hard drive is now connected.  But Time Machine will not let me select the hard drive as my back up drive. This hard drive was used on another Macbook, so Time Machine doesn't seem to recognize the hard drive on the new one.  Do I need to reformat the hard drive? I hate to do that because I have the previous backups on there.

  • My macbook pro will not recognize my WD external hard drive 1tb

    My macbook pro will not recognize my WD 1 tb external hard drive that I have as my time machine backup. I worked just fine for a long time now The only way I can see it is through Disk utility. And when I try to repair the disk it say it cant be repaired, and i need to back up files and reformat. All my backups are on the hard drive. How do I back up the back if I cant get it recognized? Uggghhhhh I have several years of info on the hard drive .. PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hi cterry66,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand you would like to reset the user account password on your computer but do not know the original password. If you set up your Apple ID with that user account, you can use that Apple ID to reset your OS X user password. Please use the information provided in the attached article to complete the process.

  • Server on I-Photo on macbook pro will not recognize my ID, password combination?

    Server on I-Photo on my MacBook Pro will not recognize my ID/Password combination

    Details help - is this trying to sent email? What version of iPhoto? Of the OS?
    The general answer is
    in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
    OR
    IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

  • Since I installed the last Mavericks update, my MacBook Pro will not recognize my Nook ebook reader

    Since I installed the last Mavericks update, OS 10.9.2, my MacBook Pro will not recognize my Nook ebook reader.  Maybe it's a coincidence; maybe not.  Any ideas?

    Check the Barnes & Noble or Nook websites to see if there are any Nook driver or software updates for OS X Mavericks.

  • My 2010 13" MacBook Pro will not recognize or start a DVD or a utility CD. It will play a music CD

    My 2010 13" MacBook Pro will not recognize or start a DVD or a utility CD or boot up from either TechTools Pro or DiskWarrior. I tried to just install these on the computer with the computer running and it will do the same. When pressing the C key to start from the disc, it still does not accept it. It will cycle several times then reject disc.
    It will play a music CD.
    OS 10.6.8
    CD/DVD Player.
    Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Fijim

    Thanks for the reply!
    I had set up an appointment at my local Apple store previously so they could reinstall Mavericks, so I just went in a little early, showed them the error message, and they determined that it just needed to be reformatted. I didn't have anything on there that I needed, since I hadn't accessed it for a few years, so we wiped the drive, reformatted and now I have my back-up.
    I appreciate the suggestions

  • My Macbook pro will not recognize external devices

    My MacBook Pro will not recongize external devices such as hard drives

    I know that is of no help, but I have the same problem with a Toshiba harddrive. My wifes Macbook Air recognizes it. No problem with the hd I guess. But my macbook pro won't show it in the Finder, About this mac or disk utility - even though it is running. I would also be glad to get a solution to this.

  • New Macbook Pro will not let me login

    I have a fairly new Macbook Pro.  When I turn it on, the Apple screen comes up, then the user icons.  I can move the cursor just fine, but when I try to click on my user icon, the computer doesn't respond when I click on the icon.  This is an intermittent problem, and has just started happening in the past two weeks.  I have to shut the computer down by holding the on/off switch down, then restart, hoping it will work.
    I took it to the Apple Store Genius bar and they ran a diagnostic on it last weekend.  Clean as a whistle, and of course, it worked just fine there.
    Any suggestions or ideas about what could be wrong?  I have Bootcamp and can access Windows on it, no problem.  This seems to be an iOS problem.

    Tapping to click is not the default behavior of the trackpad, and doesn't work in the login screen or in Recovery. You have to physically click the trackpad button by depressing it.

  • Old Mac running Mountain Lion 'sees' Canon IP5000, new MacBook pro will not. No driver available from canon. Is there a way of transfering whatever is working from old mac to new?

    I have two older macs running Mountain Lion that have been upgraded over the years from Leopard. They have continued to be able to print to a Canon IP5000 and use a driver that is fully functional. On the new MacBook Pro, the printer is found, but no driver is available for Mountain Lion from apple or Canon. Is there a way of getting the driver info from the old mac so that it will work on the new one?

    Sorry, it says "New Event," not "New Entry." My bad.

  • New Macbook Pro will not shut down.

    Hi,
    So I just got a new Macbook Pro four days ago from the Apple store and I'm already running into a little bit of trouble, that being my macbook will not shut down. Once I open the shut down window, the normal countdown that comes with it usually will not appear and I am incapable of clicking the shut down button. I have not downloaded anything onto my mac besides Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flashplayer, and a pdf document of my receipt from the apple store. I have burned some of my music CDs into itunes and browsed the web (nothing fishy; just some shopping, movie streaming from netflix and youtube, and reading articles online published by universities). Should I take the computer to the Apple store or is this something I can fix on my own?
    Thanks so much

    If I were you I'd take it back to the Apple store and let someone at the Genius Bar take a look at it. The worst case is you made an extra trip, but at least this way you can exchange it immediately if there's a problem. You only have a 14 day window for this, might as well take advantage of it.
    The only other thing I can suggest is to open the Force Quit option from the Apple icon in the upper left corner. See if there are any apps that show Not Responding. If there are any like that, force quit them then try to shut down.
