Can not log in due to file vault-protected home folder error

I´m posting this for a friend... apparently his kids were playing with the machine and now he can´t log in... this is what he gets:
YOUR FILE VAULT - PROTECTED HOME FOLDER NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. Options: Click OK to repair folder and continue logging in
When he clicks OK he gets "Unable to log in"
He is stuck at the log in screen and can´t continue.. please help.
Thanks in advance for any help you may offer

Hi Aaron, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), if it logs him in, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Everytime I try and sign into my iCloud account it tells me I can't log in due to a server error, but there is nothing wrong with my server . It also wont allow me to view any of my Photos or Documents that i have backed up.

Hi,
Are you running any Anti-virus software or do you have your firewall turned on? If so, disable them and try again. If that doesn't work, delete the iCloud account and then sign it back on again.
Make sure you are running the most current version of the iCloud Control Panel:

Can not log on due to incorrect e-mail ID

After upgrading to the latest operating system the other day. I now find that if I go to do upgrades from the store I have a problem. Whe I select to update it comes up with two boxes in the first box greyed out is an e-mail address as the I.D in the other box it is waiting for the password. The problem is the e-mail address in the greyed out box (which I can not change !!!!) is the worng one. It is an old e-mail address I do not remember so I of course do not know the password. As it is based on my name I guess it may have been one I used before. So how can I change this. I can not seen to be able to change the wrong e-mail address. Going into apple store requires the password to this old e-mail address to change it. On the Mac at upgrade time I am unable to change it so I can not do the upgrades. It does not give me the option to enter another e-mail address

It appears you will need to contact Apple Support who are able to reset your account details.

Trash operations can not be completed due to file in use.

When one comes across the following message, is there a way to find out which program is using a particular file? Not necessarily this particular digidesign file, but any file in general when one gets this window

hmmm, i tried your tip, but this is all that came up in terminal:
Last login: Mon Jun 8 20:42:26 on console
Evan-Baggs-Computer-2:~ evan$ lsof /Users/evan/.Trash/Digidesign/FireWire/DigidesignFireWireHelper
Evan-Baggs-Computer-2:~ evan$
how long does it take to process? should i just be typing this in the default window that terminal opens up?

I have downloaded the updates on my macbook air but when i restart my computer it says can not install updates due to an unexpected error????

i have downloaded the updates for my macbook air and when i restart the computer it says that they can not be installed because and error occured i have tried 3 times

A common hangup for updates is corrupted file permissions.
Using Disk Utility, perform a Repair Disk Permissions on your main drive, then re-attempt the update.

Solution for File Vault Error.

I just got off the phone from Apple Tech support (Holding for 20 minutes on a 10th attempt) I could not get past the log-in screen. "File Vault error needs to be repaired". This is what Brandon from Apple told me to do.
1)Restart Computer holding down the "c" key.
2)Follow the onscreen instructions until you get to "Select Drive to install to"
3)Select your drive-click customize
4)Select the 2nd option, (install and do back of of files) and uncheck the box below the option...sorry I can't remember what the option is...Im in the middle of trying it now.
5)continue.
6)If you have already screened the install DVD, there is no reason to do this step again, it is ok to skip to install.
If this does not work you need to erase and install, however, you will need to do a file transfer to another mac computer via fire-wire by holding down the "T" key during start up prior to erasing the drive and installation of Leopard.

I would really love to try this, as I am having the same problem, but even after removing everything possible in the customization, I don't have enough disk space to do so. Probably because I used it all installing the operating system the FIRST time. I don't want to have to do an erase and re-install. I didn't back up nearly enough stuff last time because I was assured I wouldn't need to.
Now, it's after hours so I can't talk to apple and I am stuck with my husband's PC. Ew.

Can not open dreamweaver due to missing menu.xml file, how do I fix this problem?

Can not open dreamweaver due to missing menu.xml file, how do I fix this problem?

@alicia - We have seen such issues before
Allow me to quote David Powers from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1192197
The menus.xml file is normally in your personal configuration folder. Before going to the trouble of reinstalling, try deleting your configuration folder. Details of how to find it are here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494812.
When you launch Dreamweaver, it should build a new configuration folder.

Have tried to open my itunes and the message given states that itunes can not be opened due to missing files. Please reinstall itunes. Repeated attempts to reinstall give the same result...any ideas?

Have tried to open my existing itunes but it states that it can not be opened due to missing files...please reinstall itunes. Repeated attempts to reinstall are to no avail....any ideas?

I assume you are talking about iTunes on your computer, if so, you will have to remove all Apple programs associated with iTunes:
iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Make sure everything that is by Apple is removed including Safari. You can sort by "Publisher", when you uninstall programs. Make sure you have at least one other web browser (like Firefox or Internet Explorer) before removing Safari. That way you can go back to the Apple web site and redownload iTunes later.
Reboot the computer then reinstall iTunes. Everything should work normally.

Can not log on after successfull installation - SAP Netweaver Trial JAVA

Hello,
I have successfully downloaded and installed the NW Java trial. (NW_JAVA_700SP14_SR3.rar)
I can see in SAP MMC that all the services was started. At http://vjm:50000 I can see the default page.
Unfortunately I can not log on to any page that need SAP authentication (eg. User management, NW administrator),
but can log to pages which needs just basic browser authentication (eg: Web Service Navigator, UDDI client, System Information).
The portal also does not let me log on (http://vjm:50000/irj ).
When I get the standard SAP NW log on screen, after entering Administrator with the correct master password, simply the log on screen appears again (the password field is cleared). I also tried some incorrect user name / password just to check the difference. In that case I got the correct error message.
I installed the software with WMware, Windows 2003 server, allocated enough disk space and 1.6Gbyte RAM. The installation finished without errors. Prior, I installed the MS loopback too (tried without it too). In SAP MMC everything is green, only have an open alert in J2E 00 -> Services -> Security -> Aggregated Data -> Invalid session count "262 > 200 last reported value above treshold".
I am using the standard internet explorer coming with Win2003 server.
Tried the users: Administrator, SDM, Guest, ADSUSER. I know that the password is correct, because I don't get any error if I use it, just getting the log on screen back ...
Could anyone pls help me how can I log on to the system? Or is there any security trace file or log which could help me solve this problem?
I am desperately trying to install this trial, I completely reinstalled the software 5 times but still can not use it
Laszlo

Hi,
is your problem persisting?
CAVE: If you use a wrong user/pw combination > 3 times the account of the user may be locked!
try j2ee_admin instead of administrator or try adm together with your Masterpassword
Do you have to specify the users pw inside the installation procedure? In "normal" installations this has to be done.
If not the pw´s in the documentation of the previous answer`may fix your problem.
The sap mmc is irrelevant for user authentication.
Green means your system is running, nothing else.
kind regards
Tom

Admin can not log in after migration Teaming

Hello,
I did migrate Teaming 1.0.3 (SLES 10 SP2) to Teaming 2.1 (SLES 10 SP 2) on a different server according to information from this web site Novell Documentation
Everything worked with one exception admin account can not log in :(
The rest of the account works, but users are taken from LDAP.
I tried to use the old admin password as well as a new admin password set during installation Teaming 2.1
In catalina.out log I got:
WARN [http-9080-1] [org.kablink.teaming.module.authentication.impl.Aut henticationModuleImpl] - Authentication failure for zone 1: org.springframework.security.BadCredentialsExcepti on: Bad credentials; nested exception is org.kablink.teaming.security.authentication.Passwo rdDoesNotMatchException: Password does not match for user [kablink,admin]
I think that something has gone wrong with the admin account password after the migration but I do not know how to fix it.
I tried to change the password for the admin account directly in the database table but I do not know what hash algorithm is used by Teaming 2.1
Does anyone encountered such a problem?
How can I set a new password for the admin account directly in the MySQL database?
Best regards,
Piotr Szewczuk

I **think** that hash is specified in the installer.xml file. Try also to post your question on the kablink forum: Installation, Configuration, Customization
