IMac shuts down when i try to log into some user accounts

Installed Lion on my mid 2010 iMac.
Now when I log into one of my accounts it starts to log in, then decides it doesn't want to and restarts the machine.
Guest account works fine, and when I made another account that works fine as well. Just keeps shutting down when I try to log into my main account.

Thanks for that. It looks like it is mail causing the problem. Took mail out of launch at start up and seems to be working ok now.
All I have to do now is make sure I remember to turn off mail before I shut down my computer.

Problem logging into windows user account

Hi, I have been using the fingerprint reader for logging into my user account but recently it has stopped working.I had setup a windows login password earlier and I remember it but when I try to login it never asks for the windows login password. I am only given two options to login, either using the fingerprint reader or a card. I have another user account I am able to access but it does not have the administrator priviledges. Please can you assist me in logging in using my windows password. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I got around to doing a basic test, and was able to successfully grab data from a camera through IMAQ and store it to the disk without needing to log in. The service launched at boot and stored plenty of data before I got the chance to log in.

I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone. I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone.

I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone. I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone. Does anyone know how I can get my music? I know longer own the iPad so I don't have access to it, but I don't think that should be a problem.

So you had music on the iPad that is not in iTunes and you no longer have the iPad. Is that what you are saying? If that is what you are saying, iTunes won't "recognize" anything that was on the iPad, that was not purchased from iTunes. If the music was purchased from iTunes, you should probably be able to download it again for free as long as you are using the same Apple ID that you bought it with. Did you try downloading the music again?
Am I understanding what it is that you want to do? If I am understanding you correctly, you will find this to be useful.

I admit that I'm a little confused by your remark about being logged into your iPad account. You should be logged into your iTunes account.

You shouldn't have to change your iTunes account to not have to purchase it twice. If your devices are using different iTunes IDs, just purchase it on one device, then import it to your iTunes library by connecting the device to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Once in iTunes, you should be able to sync it to your other device (assuming both devices are syncing with the same iTunes library). (And even if they were syncing with separate libraries, you could use Home Sharing to copy the app from one library to the other.)
Or, am I missunderstanding something?

but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.

I can log into my iCloud account but cannot access any of the applications.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

HT1977 I downloaded an app on my PC, signed into my iTunes account, but when I connect my iPhone and click sync, it won't copy to my phone. How can I get this app to install on my phone?

Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Apps" tab, you've selected this app to install on your phone, correct? Hit the "Apply/Sync" button, lower right on the Apps tab, what happens?

Also I cant make a right click on the pad. Is that normal?

Your first going to have to remove all your personal data off the machine to a external storage drive, do not use TimeMachine when it asks as this will copy the entire drive and is unnecessary at this time (also takes too long).
You need to drag and drop copy your personal data folders (Music, Pictures, Movies etc) to a external storage drive, once done, unmount and disconnect this drive.

Next your going to follow the Zero Erase and install method for your OS X version, either 10.6 or 10.7, here
How to reinstall just OS X or erase/install OS X
10.7 requires your AppleID and password to install, so make sure to have that ready.
Once you reboot your into the real setup of OS X, which will require your name etc, so it's now your machine.
Install your programs, iLife package is only free for the owner of the machine.
If you have the 10.6 machine specific disks, then it's on there.
If your using 10.7, then you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.
Last, return your files from the storage drive, consider setting up a TimeMachine or clone on the external drive.

Unknown Error 310 when I try to log into my ITunes Account

Has anyone else had a problem logging into their ITunes Account? I cannot log into my ITunes account from my macbook pro for weeks now and I keep getting the following error message
"We could not complete your ITunes Store request. An unknown error occured (310). There was an error in the ITunes store please try again later."
I have been able to log in to my account via wi-fi at home on my iphone...
I have contacted itunes support team and they have not been very helpful suggesting I sign up for tech support contract...HELP PLEASE..........

I had this same problem and discovered that my proxy settings for my network connection were wrong. To fix, I did the following:
1. Clicked on wireless network icon in upper right of screen
2. Selected "Open Network Preferences"
3. Selected the network interface I was using - in my case Ethernet
4. Selected the Advanced button in the lower right
5. Selected the Proxies Tab
6. Corrected my proxy server settings - in my case I did not have a port number set for my HTTPS proxy server.
From what I can tell, Itunes uses both HTTP and HTTPS protocols to connect to Itunes Store and to log in to Itunes Account (respectively). If you are on a network that requires you to use a proxy server, then you will have to make sure each of these protocols is set to use the correct proxy server URL and Port Number. Also, if you are on a network that does not use a proxy server, you need to make sure you don't have a proxy server set for these protocols.
Ideally, the proxy server settings are handled for you automatically when you connect to a new network, this isn't alwys the case however. Some older network don't support automatic configuration of the proxy server settings and you are forced to manually set the configuration. Most wireless and home networks I've run into don't use proxy servers, they are typically only used in large corporations to reduce network load on the intranet, or to manage external security threats.
Good luck

TweetDeck Internal Server Error message every time I try to log into my TweetDeck account

When I first downloaded TweetDeck, it worked great, until about a day ago, then it started giving me an "internal server error" and won't let me log in to TweetDeck. I uninstalled TweetDeck and reinstalled and still the same thing. I can log into my TweetDeck account on my iphone and ipad, just not on my new MacBook Pro. thanks

Well, guys, the only way I could "fix" my problem is to open a new TweetDeck account. It works fine on my MacBook. Still getting the same message of internal server error when I try to use my old login and password, so it was definitely not my MacBook, it had to be on TweeDeck's side. No big deal creating new account, just frustrating not knowing what caused it to quit working. Hope this helps you others.

Cannot log into my user account

After rebooting the MPro I am unable to log into my acount. The system comes up to the login screen and on entering the password to my account it thinks for a while and then cycles back to the login screen. If i enter a wrong password - system rejects it. I can log into guest user though

Symptom: After applying an update or some kind of instance where a shutdown occurred, upon rebooting, Mac OS X will demand a password for System.keychain. No password will ever work, not even root.
NOW FOR THE SOLUTION...
WARNING: This assumes that you are competent with the command line AND you have a working copy of OS X somewhere else nearby, preferably on an external disk partition. I'm not going to explain the basics of using the Terminal or how to access both of your systems at the same time. If you are afraid of screwing up, simply reinstall Mac OS X and say a few prayers that it will fix itself (assuming that another Software Update won't mess it up again).
The problem lies with a file deep in the bowels of OS X. It's /var/db/SystemKey. What it does is that it tells Mac OS X how to unlock the system keychain. It only knows the System.keychain specific to the computer, so if you import another System.keychain as a replacement, SystemKey won't know how to unlock it and you'll keep getting the annoying dialogs prompting for System.keychain's password.
So without further ado, this is how to stop the annoying dialogs once and for all:
1. AS THE ROOT USER, you will need to copy over /var/db/SystemKey from a known good system to your problematic system. Make sure that you preserve the permissions (0400). It is advisable that you are NOT booted from your problematic system.
2. If you have a good System.keychain, copy that over to /Library/Keychains on the problem system. If you accidentally deleted System.keychain, you can execute the following (again AS ROOT):
/usr/sbin/systemkeychain -C -f
This creates a new, working, empty System.keychain and effectively overwrites the old keychain.
3. Reboot to your system. You will be presented with different, more familiar (Change, Change All) dialogs. If you had any passwords saved in your list of preferred networks, just put them back in.
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

When trying to log into my bank account, I always get a Challenge Page even though I check the box to register my computer as a private computer.

When trying to log into my bank accounts (2), I always get a security Challenge Page even though I have repeatedly checked the box to register my computer as a private computer. When I attempt to get into these same two accounts using Internet Explorer, I skip the Challenge Page and go directly to the Log In page. What settings do I need to change in Firefox so that I don't get the Challenge Page every time?

I have had exactly this problem - Firefox - version 11, but when I updated all my plug-ins (go to Customize Firefox - about halfway down - '''''Check your plugins''''') and restarted Firefox the problem vanished. Hope this helps as this seems to be a fairly large issue.

I try to log into my user account but I set a master password and everytime I input the password it says login failed any suggestions?
