I can't login into my  macbook pro under my user , only as a guest.

My MacBook pro is taking forever to load. I can't login using my user name, but only as guest. When I finally make it into Guest User, it takes forever to load anything and everything. I want to know if I can still retrieve my pictures. I tried going thru iPhoto under guest user and importing the pictures. However, a red exit sign appears on all the files under that username. Please help  ;(

Hi rosaqt,
I see that you are having some issues with your ability to log in to your user account on your computer. If this issue is related to passwords, you will want to see the information in the following article:
OS X Mavericks: If you forget your login password
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14120
However, if this issue is unrelated to your password for your user account, you may need to provide more information in order for me to properly assist you. In the mean time, you may wish to boot into Safe Mode to see if that affects your ability to log in to your user account:

Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

    Yes,

    And you can't turn it off or your computer won't work, however saving grace is the hacker has to be pretty close to your machine to do it.

  • How many RAMs can i install into my macbook pro-13 inches?

    I'm considering to buy RAMs for my mac, originally there are two 2GB RAMs installed,is there only 2 plugs? Do i need to replace the original RAM or i can just add the new RAM into my mac?

    There are 'only' two slots for RAM modules in the 13" MacBook Pros.
    So you have to replace the RAMs that are curently in it.
    Pick the one you have from this list http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/index-macbookpro.html to see how much RAM you can out into it.

  • How much RAM can I put into my Macbook Pro?

    Here's my info:
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro4,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache:          3 MB
      Memory:          2 GB
      Bus Speed:          800 MHz
    I want to upgrade my RAM, as the computer is showing a bit of age at 3 years old now.  I looked at this support page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270#link8
    And judged the installation to be easy enough for me to do, but I'm confused as to how much RAM I can buy.  The conflict I see is that "Additional notes" says I can use up to 8GB of RAM, but the table says only 4GB.  What's throwing me off is basic math -- is that 4GB only referring to my slots (thus 4+4=8) or is it saying that anything over 4GB will not be recognized by my computer?
    I spoke with someone at Apple, but he seemed a bit confused by my question, and eventually gave me a "yes" that was timid enough that I felt the need to post here.  So, I'd appreciate the support!  Thanks a lot, everyone.  I'm just looking to not spend more than I need (in terms of buying excess RAM), and make sure I don't ruin my Mac in the process.

    The MacBook Pro 4,1 can acces a maximum RAM of 6GB
    However RAM comes in 4GB modules and you have two slots, so you install 8GB (two 4GB modules) and can only access 6GB of it according to MacTracker.
    Use the free Crucial.com site to make sure your getting the extact specified RAM specs, you can buy it anywhere if you like.

    The largest 2.5" SATA HDDs of 9.5 mm thickness that I am aware of are 1 TB in capacity.  There is a 12.5 mm thick  HDD that will fit some MBPs.  But I have not seen any of larger capacity. 
    Are there now 2 TB HDDs available for MBPs?    If so, I am interested.
    Ciao.
    Both OWC and Crucial have SSDs of about 1 TB capacity.

  • Can I get a new macbook pro under the warranty?

    Its been two months since I got my macbook pro. I got the newer 2011 version. Less than a month into getting it my keys started falling off and less than 2 months later my hard drive went out for no reason and I had to get it replaced. And now my other keys are all falling off too. I don't understand. I feel like I was sold a refurbished mac because everything keeps breaking. Do you think its better to just get a new macbook pro? Is that even possible? I also feel like it takes a while to turn on than when I first got it. How long is the normal start up time?

    If you have had this Mac for less then a year then the computer is still under warranty.
    I also feel like it takes a while to turn on than when I first got it. How long is the normal start up time?
    It depends. If you have applications set to launch when you startup the Mac, that can slow down the amount of time it takes to boot your Mac.
    Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Login Items tab.

  • I can't remember my password to log into my macbook pro. Help?

    I can't remember my password to log into my macbook pro. Help?

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    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:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) 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.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
    If you forget the password and FileVault is on

  • I can no longer login to my Macbook Pro.

    Hello everybody,
    I am the owner of a Macbook Pro (bought it in 2010) with the newest Maverick software. There was an new update to be done (I don't really know which one), which went without problems. Afterwards I wanted to open mail, but I got a notification that the program needed to import all my mails and data from the program to this new version. I pressed the 'OK-button', but my laptop was not able to perform this task: I got a notification that there was not enough storage room for this action. I thought this was rather odd, becaus I had never had any problems like that. So I decided to restart my computer, hoping that I would work again afterwards.
    Unfortunately, now I am no longer able to login to my Macbook Pro! Even the guest user-account doesn't work. Once I type the password (which I know for certain is correct), a white screen appears, then a quick lightblue screen, then again the white screen with a grey loading-sign and then It goes straight back to the login page...
    I have already tried this a dozen times as well as logging in with the Safe boot, but that doesn't work either.
    Can somebody please help me? It is finals week, so this is like the worst timing ever!
    Thank you in advance!
