Leopard keeps returning to the sign in screen after upgrading

Bought a brand new imac. Went through normal set up, then upgraded to Leopard with the included DVD. After "successful" upgrade, I get the leopard sign in screen, enter the correct PW see a quick blue screen and then it goes back to the sign in screen. If I enter the wrong PW the PW box shakes. Any help is appreciated.

I have the exact same problem on our Mac Mini with OSX 10.5.0

I can't log into my main account with my password, always gets me back to the log-in screen after upgrading to 10.7.5

After my routine software update to 10.7.5, I can't log into my main log-in id. Whenever I put my password in, it takes me back to the log-in screen. I'm sure of the password not being wrong because i can access my other admin accounts from which i changed the password. All my files and data is in that id. Please help. Thank you.

TS1702 My garage band app has crashed & keeps returning to the main screen when I try to open it... I've tried most of the trouble shooting options with the exception of re-installing the app, because I fear I will lose a number of recent projects I have

My garage band app has crashed & keeps returning to the main screen when I try to open it... I've tried most of the trouble shooting chart (no updates available, tried restarting app, restarted device) all I have left is to re-install the app... My main fear is that if I do this I will lose a load of recent projects that are saved to the app that I've spent the last few days creating... Help...

I have tried all those things I even updated the software to the new iOS system and it still did fix my problem.
What happened is that my garage band looks like it will open then it shuts down.
I have lot of important things on my garage band and I'm afraid that if I uninstall it deleting it then reinstalling it all my work on it will be gone and I can't have that happen.
Everyday I am hoping that when i go to open the app that is will work but it doesn't it gets ready to turn on then it shuts off , the app doesn't even open all the way and turns off.
I really hope I don't have to erase it.
It'll say it's ,lading my songs then it shuts down .
If I waited for the App Store to come up with an update for garage band should I wait till then to update my app so it doesn't get damaged . I don't want to erase it and all my data get erased . I figured if I wait for an update then my garage band will reset itself but won't delete my data. I'm not sure if that will help. Is there anything you or anyone else might know that can help me with this matter ?
Thank you

Imessage/facetime signout and now won't get past the "What phone number/email would you like to use screen" It just returns me to the sign in screen

I got home from college today and my imessage and facetime are both not working and are promting me to sign in again, however after sign in is complete and I click the next button after selecting my phone number and email it just returns me back to the sign in screen? It has been working for months and has just started this now. I've tried restarting and changing my DNS, hopping on another WiFi etc and can't seem to fix it.

Hi Rilean,

I forgot the sign-in screen password to my Mac G4

I forgot the sign-in screen password to my Mac G4. I had some repair work done on my Power Mac G4 about a year ago. The company that di the repairs won't return my calls. I'm trying to sign in on the start screen, but can't remember my password. Is there a way to override this and reset my password without losing any data?

Trying to redeem a free download for a song from KLove. When I get into my acct & try to redeem it, it just keeps bringing up the "sign-in" box. When I click the button on KLove's webpage to redeem it takes me to that page but does the same thing

Get the redeem code from the KLove page:
http://www.klove.com/music/store.aspx
...and enter it into the Redeem Code box in the iTunes Store.
You will have to sign in to your iTunes account.
It worked fine here. If that doesn't work for you, let us know what went wrong.

The FaceTime app on my iPod touch refuses to go any further than the email verification part of the setup process. It just goes back to the sign in screen every time. How can I fix this?

My built in FaceTime app on my iPod touch will not proceed from the email verification step of the setup process. I have tried going into settings like app support showed but when I click FaceTime it just shows the sign in screen just like before and does the same thing. Please help me to fix this.

Have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!

have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!
The configure bar gets about an 1/8 full and then just does nothing. I think its lists the update as combo update? cant remember with out checking.
I have tried to do the disk verify and repair but this has made no difference.
Please let me know what i need to do, I have reformatted the mac just to start over as was clogged with a lot of useless data, I had installed lion (10.7) from the app store previously and now cant seem to find a way to re install lion. I hope I dont need to pay for it again?

If you erased your hard drive, you'll need to reinstll OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to access the App store. You won't have to pay for OS X 10.7 Lion again. Did you try booting to the recovery partition by holding the command and r keys down? If that's still there, you can reinstall OS X 10.7 from there.
If you're looking to install the current iTunes, you need OS X 10.6.8 at a minimum.
If you're still trying to update OS X 10.5 Leopard, you can download the combo update from here. Download, use Disk Utility to repair permissions, apply the update, then repair permissions again. That will take you to OS X 10.5.8.

TS1248 When my MacBook Pro sleeps, after it wakes the trackpad movement (mouse) reveals the sign-in screen in little squares.

After my MacBook Pro wakes from sleep, the trackpad movement (mouse) reveals the sign-in screen in little squares.

Hello there, peijinc.
I understand your MacBook Pro seems to be taking longer than expected when coming back from sleep. It sounds like you may be seeing the Mavericks feature called Safe Sleep. The following Knowledge Base article offers up an explanation of how that feature works:
OS X: Saving energy with Sleep
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5963
If you feel that this period of time is greater than normal, this article offers some practical steps to troubleshoot your Mac:
OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5357
Although the entire article offers relevant steps, this section may prove most useful:
If the steps above do not resolve your sleep-related issue, try these additional recommendations.
Reset SMC
Reset NVRAM/PRAM
Test with external devices disconnected
Try Safe Mode
Try another user account
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

My iphone keeps flickering on the load up screen and my screen goes from blue to black and keeps flickering any solutions?

as i said my iphone keeps flickering on the load up screen the apple logo goes back and forth and the screen changes colour from black to blue, help!?

You don't say which year it is, but if it's a 13" you're not having a common GPU that some 2010 and 2011 15" models are having.
Since reinstalling the OS didn't help, I'm afraid that the only real choice you have is to take the machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run diagnostics on the machine. It's likely a screen problem, rather than a logic board problem (although that's always a possibility).
The testing is free as if the estimate for repair. There's really nothing else you can do yourself at this point.
Sorry,
Clinton

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Having problems using facetime for ipods. When i sign in and click next it goes back to the sign in screen ? what do i need to do

Having problems with facetime on the ipod. When i sign id and click next it goes back to the sign in screen. Any ideas ??

Have ou tried here:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime
Also try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Just got the new iMac. The screen keeps jumping to the launch pad screen randomly when I am working in other applications. Please help.

I have the magic mouse, don't know whether it is something to do with that? Any ideas?

If gumsie's suggestion isn't the answer, try logging into another account, like Guest, and see if you get the same behavior. You may need to clean the windows on the bottom of the mouse.
