I can't login to admin account properly after installing Lion

It's been a week since I installed OS X Lion and everything was fine until a couple of days ago. When I was logging in to my account (an admin account), I could not get past the gray screen with the spinning rainbow wheel, or my desktop would show up but doesn't show any progress. I've already tried booting on Safe Mode and it worked, except that the audio input/output were disabled. I tried logging in to the other accounts and I didn't experience any problems. Please help me, I really don't know what I should do to fix and resolve this problem. Thanks in advance!

Hi rodeo21
Did you enable this particular admin account when you enable FileVault?
Have a look at STEP 2 on this page: http://www.macworld.com/article/1162999/complete_guide_to_filevault_2_in_lion.ht ml

Why can´t i connect to Windows servers after installing Lion?

Why can´t i connect to Windows servers after installing Lion?

Me too!
MacBook Pro 15" 2011, OS X Lion 10.7

Although I am new to mac, I am not new to computers and purchasing online. I can't sign into the App store after installing Lion. I have had to change my password 4 times in 2 days . I am so sick of this. I am trying to buy a tutorial for Lion.

I recently downloaded Lion and since have had nothing but problems with my new i-Mac. My problem with the App store is only one issue. Has anyone out there had any trouble with their components after installing Lion 10.7??????? After several hours on the phone with a tech my situation isn't any better. I think the tech is sick of talking with me. He was supposed to call me today and the phone never rang. He told me he was working on something to repair my problems and needed to talk with engineers. How long could that take???? If it wouldn't hurt the person who gifted me this i-Mac, I would give it back.

your itunes accoutn have nothing to d with your computer
you can go to any computer with internet access in the world and
login into your itunes account if you have the appleID and password
the itunes account is placed on apples itunes servers

Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server - can't login with admin account

SO....i was having problems setting up network accounts from my mac Mini Server. I took it to the Apple Genius bar one night after work to get some help on why the login screen appears for Other..but could not login into any of the accounts I created.
They made an appt for me for the next morning since they had a "guy" that could help the next morning.
When I got there for my second appt..they said they don't support server issues. Only consumer products..I though the server WAS and i WAS a consumer of their products..so..they gave me a number of a consultant..of course..for pay...
So later that day I was trying some other configurations....the power came out while I was checking a monitor cable..and when I restarted I couldn't login to the master admin account.
Since mac mini server doesn't have a DVD drive..you have to boot up with their Server DVD from another computer and the Server installs it through airport.
So I did the boot up via airport from the server install DVD.
Did the Utility disk repair AND password changed. Got some error about not being to able to login if I don't change the keychains to the account.
Rebooted the server.
It didn't work.
So now stuck with a login window..and NO ACCESS to change anything.
HELP!!!!

You can access to system with root account.
If you didn't enable before, boot from SLS DVD and activate from menu (after choose language).
After that, reset all the passwords (there is a menu to do that).
After that exit from installer and reboot.
At login screen you can try to login with your user and new/blank password.
If it fails, you have to login with user root and the password you choose before.
With root user, you can access to all system, be very carefull.
Now you can create a new user and import all the files (you have to do a little work with permissions)
I hope i help you!

My Window 7 notebook can't log on to my iMac after installing Lion.

I have a home network with my Imac and my wife's window 7 Notebook. Router is an Airport Extreme.
Before installing Lion. I can connect to my iMac from Window using "\\imac name". Also I have a couple iMac's folders mounted as network drives on the Window 7 notebook.
Installed Lion last night. File sharing in itunes is still working. I can still connect to the Window notebook from my iMac. The Mount network drives on the Window notebook are also working, I can still access those iMac folders from the Window 7 notebook.
But when I try to connect to the iMac from Window using "\\imac name". It says the iMac "is not accessible" and I "might not have permission to use the network resource".
Turned off and restarted all the computers and the airport router. Still don't work.

My Mail is not working properly after installing Lion

I just installed Lion and my mail is not working. It keeps asking me for the password and says it can not go online. All my mail folders have disapeard and with them my saved emails! Also the Back to Mac is not able to take my password either.

Ouch...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

My Safari doesn't work properly after installing Lion. Don't like it, how can I uninstall? (Cloud not worth it)?

I upgraded ti Lion 10.7.2 for icloud but it's causing other problems with my mac. My Safari doesn't work properly anymore. Wishing I didn't upgrade, anyone know how to fix this or do i just have to uninstall? Thanks,

Wipe the drive clean and install Snow Leopard from your install disk.
Might be less work fixing Safari. Try Resetting Safari.

I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new passw

I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new password does not match. What to do?

If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information. Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

I can't login because my account has been locked

Good morning! I used my account more than 3 years.And i have lots of apps and musics on my account I'm of your company I have iPhone iPad and iPod. And today, i can't sign in to my account. When i sign in to my account, I have message: "you can not login because your account has been locked" Why i can't connect my account? I have just back to my home durning the vacation. And my friend used my computer.My apple ID:**************@gmail.com
please help me as soon as you can thank you so much

For info we are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iOS device by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support and see if they can/will unlock it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Hello , can you with a single account creative cloud , install on two computers ? (The one from home and one at work)

Hello , can you with a single account creative cloud , install on two computers ? (The one from home and one at work)
This will avoid me lugging around my mac, sorry for my english.
Margaux, photographer

Yes, this has been allowed with Adobe applications going back many years. A program such as Photoshop can legally be installed and activated on two computers at a time for the use of the single licensed user. You can't install legally on your own and a friend's computer for use by the two different people. Prior to Creative Cloud, there was an unwritten limit on how many times a given application could be activated, but there is no longer such a limit under CC. That means you could theoretically install on three or four computers, activating only two at a time, and then deactivating one or both before activating on another computer.

rmelideo,
Firstly, you refer to "WebDB administrator" and "WebDB 1.6". This is not WebDB. You're confusing this with an entirely different product released in the late 90's.
You don't say what your specific error is. But the file does not exist errors in your Apache error log look suspicious. It looks like you have not copied the images directory from the HTML DB 2.0 distribution.
