I can't get into the system osx lion

I can't get into the system of my iMac osx lion

I would recommend that you try rebooting while holding down the Command - R keys to get  into the Recovery Partition.  There, run Disk Repair and then run Repair Permissions twice.  A sizeable number of people have found that these steps solved the same problems that you are having.  If that doesn't completely resolve it the the next step is to reset the PRAM, by rebooting while holding down the Command-Option-P-R keys.  This may also be the problem solver you need.
Hope this helps

  • My kid put a password to my new ipad how can i get into the system

    my kid put a password on to my new ipad 2 and y cannot get into the system what can i do?

    You can't get in unless you know the password so Now you have to restore the iPad in order to unlock it. You should restore the iPad to the same computer that you sync with so that you can restore your app data and iPad settings. You will probably need to use recovery mode in order to restore the device as well.

  • When attempting to reset my password using the Install disc, I can't get into the system since I am asked for my password when I initiate the disc.  What now?

    I lost my MAC password and was advised to use the "MAC" install disc.  With the "install disc" installed, I initiate the program and it asks for my "password" to continue.  What do I do now since I am unable to offer the correct password.  Sure would like to discuss this with a computer expert.  I am really frustrated since I can't update programs due to the lost password?

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    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.
    Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    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 your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.

  • Something wrong with my email it keep eat up my hard drive.  how can i get into the system and delete the mail folder

    how can I delete the mail folder in the hard drive.. it keep redownload the emails and eat up my hard drive

    If you have your mail set up as an IMAP account, then it will download everything that is in your Inbox (on the online site/server) again and again. You can move your emails to another folder online after you've read them or you can also delete them online after you've saved the ones you want to keep.
    If you have your mail set up as a POP account, emails are downloaded once and then reside on your hard drive; you can indicate in Mail Preferences > Accounts if you want the messages online deleted immediately or after one week, etc.

  • IMovie has frozen up on me. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling the apps- no help. I can play some of the files- but I can't get into the libraries.Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a few minutes. What can I do?

    I desperately need your help. I was working on iMovie last night when the thing froze up on me. I've tried rebooting. I've tried reinstalling the apps. No change. I can play some of the files- although I can't tell which ones will play until they magically appear. I can't get into the project library or the event library. The bar that lets me scroll through the clips is gone. Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a couple of minutes and generates a "problem report" that says "iMovie Quit Unexpectedly". This all started when I was adding cutaways- and one clip just would not load. After I tried several times everything froze up. Have you ever heard of something like this? Maybe I pushed a button or somehow changed a setting? Maybe some of the video is corrupt? What do you recommend?
    Thanks for any advice you can offer!

    I have tried all the above and nothing seems to work. Any other suggestions?

  • HT1338 i did an update on my macbook air and now i don't see anything only grayish screen , it won't allow my to get into the system plz help!!!!!

    i did an update on my macbook air and now i don't see anything only grayish screen , it won't allow my to get into the system plz help!!!!!

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

  • HT201365 I've forgotten my passcode and can't get into the phone to turn off "find my iphone" in order to restore it... Help Please

    I've forgotten my passcode and can't get into the phone to turn off "find my iphone" in order to restore it... Can anyone help?

    If you know the password to your apple id login - you can then do a restoration once you have put your device into recovery mode using itunes.
    read this article to give you direction how to put your device into recovery mode.
    Once you have put in your apple id login and password this then will allow you to restore the device once the device is placed in recovery mode.
    good luck!

    recovery mode restore as descibed in HT1808 might be  your last resort though

  • Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

    Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos.  Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

  • I can not get into the iTunes store for the past two days.  I can do a search on the music in upper right corner.  However, the screen is white with "iTunes" in the middle when I do. Any suggestions?  Thank you.

    You're not the only one some European countries (UK, Poland, Austria, Belgium, Germany < these are the countries that have confirmed they are having this problem) are having the same problem. This discussion is also highlighting the same problems you are having:

    I can confirm that the homepage and the music section in the iTunes store are experiencing this problem.

    Hello! A problem - I can not login into the system. After entering the login and password for a second or two there is a blue screen, then the universe, then again a blue screen, and - again, the login window. This happens with just one account of the four on my iMac-2007 with OS 10.6.8. How can I be?
