Leopard Works Fine Except.............

I've checked the thread here for an Administration problem like mine: didn't see any.
Just tried to update iTunes and of course it brought up the screen asking for my Administrator's Name and Password. I typed in my name and password but they didn't work. At the 3rd try it gave me the hint about my password. The hint is correct and my password has 6 letters. Any ideas here would be appreciated.
Incidentally, I've tried holding down the "C" while booting up with the Leopard Disk, and after 3 tries it just keeps going to my screen. Tried the "S" and the same thing - my screen. Keychain locks, and unlock unlocks when I use my password. Go figure!

I have experienced the same thing. I got my macbook today and it is fine, but my imac, which I installed leopard on last week is doing exactly what you are describing. The imac is also brand new, only 3 weeks old, so it is very sad that my new toy ***** now. I also restarted etc, to no avail...If you restart from the finder bar on the top of your screen, you don't have to enter you password to restart, but in my case it didn't do any good. Good luck with yours, I think that I am going to talk to the guy at the apple store where I bought it.

  • Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

    Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

    It should be in the Users/ Shared folder.
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Note the option to check and repair Library Permissions

  • I have a new Apple TV which is working fine except that I cannot access .mov files which are in my iTunes Library. How can I get to these? I can run them on my computer and select Apple TV on the screen, but the Apple TV goes to a black screen

    Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

    I had the same problem.  Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections.  I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked.  This did though:  I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work).  It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer.  I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore.  Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back.  I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~

  • Hello.  I recently pieced together a late 2008 MacBook Pro 15".  Everything works fine except the battery constantly goes between "not charging" and "calculating" or, rarely "charging". It does charge after a long while and will report that it is charged.

    Hello.  I recently pieced together a late 2008 MacBook Pro 15".  Everything works fine except the battery constantly goes between "not charging" and "calculating" or, rarely "charging". It does charge after a long while and will report that it is charged.
    I have reset the NVRAM and the SMC a couple of time but that didn't work so I ran an Apple Hardware Test and while testing the logic board it gives the following error:
    4SNS/1/40000000 LB1T
    I've done some research and found this is a temperature sensor related to the battery, but cannot find where the sensor is located in the computer.  Would you know how I can find the sensor to test it?  Could my battery problem be related to something else?  Would a fresh install of Lion help?
    Thank you!
    Mike
    Two pieces of information that may or may not b helpful, the hard drive is from my early 2008 MBP and the only test disc I have access to is from an iMac.

    Why do you have LION installed on that older machine?
    So you say you built a macbook from a bucket of parts eh?   Kudos

  • HT5622 A month ago I dropped my iPhone in water and it works fine except for the signal  it always says "searching". Can you help with this problem?

    About a Month ago I dropped we went swimming and I dropped my iPhone in water and it works fine except at the top for the signal it says searching. Can you please help me with this problem?

    It's very likely that the phone is permanently damaged - water corrodes the very fine copper strips which form the circuitry very quickly - but only a service engineer can tell you what its condition is and whether it can be restored to health. If possible take it to an Apple Store (make an appointment) for a free assessment. Don't be surprised if you are told you will have to replace it.

  • I just downloaded ilife every things working fine except, when i try to open iPhoto it said ''You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete. i tried to re-download it but my password didn't work for some reason. HELPPPP!!!

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    Happy New Year

  • I had a case that I drop little juice  over my macbook air, I dried it immediately and it keep  working fine, as this happen while I am traveling I kept working on it for around two week, it was working fine except that the few key became sticky.

    I had a case that I drop little juice  over my macbook air, I dried it immediately and it keep  working fine, as this happen while I am traveling I kept working on it for around two week, it was working fine except that the few key became sticky.
    When I back to Jordan I sent it to the authorized support center “ Multivision” in Amman and asked them to help in cleaning the keyboard as it still sticky and I explained to them that the issue and I clarified that all are working fine.
    For a two days they didn’t back to me and they answered that they are still checking it, and then after they just called me saying that my macbook is damaged and not working and its better for me to buy a new one!!!
    They say that the liquid damaged the main board! I explained to them that this can’t be as it was working fine when I delivered it to them and I didn’t ask them to open it I told them to help in cleaning the keyboard!
    I am complaining about this support behavior and they were not cooperative nether polite in communicating.
    I am not convinced that the liquid damaged my macbook and I think that the staff at “Multivision” are not qualified and did something wrong to damage my macbook!
    I need you help to investigate this issue and have a feedback.

    Get the new keyboard at eBay and replace by yourself may be cheaper way, though you're required higher skill and well know about MacBook Air.

    No time member is defined in the last row.
    any idea? Which parameters define the next members, ie how it determines that NEXT(1) of 2009.MAR is 2009.APR?
    thanks for your help,
    Romuald

    Hi,
    I don't have NEXT property. I just have a PRIOR property which is correclty defined except for january. I think that is the problem. I'm going to add PRIOR property value on january members.
    thanks for your answer,

  • I changed my apple id and everything works fine except message and face time. I cannot reactivate imessage and facetime shows my email to send and receive instead of my mobile number.

    I changed my apple id and everything works fine except message and facetime. I cannot reactivate imessage and facetime is using my email instead of my mobile number. How do I reactivated message and use my mobile number on both applications?

    I apologize. I misread your statement.
    The information that I provided about adding the phone number back to the iPad is valid and should work. Now as for the activation of messages, take a look at these support articles for starters. Hopefully, something in one of these will help.

  • My drive crashed. Re-installed CS5. Works fine except that can no longer go from Bridge by clicking

    My drive crashed. Re-installed CS5. Works fine except that can no longer go from Bridge by clicking on small photo there. I found the place to change but CS5 is not an option. Tried to change prefernce in Windows 8 but not there either.

    Thanks.  Before my re-installation if I was in Bridge and found a photo I wanted to edit in CS5 I would just double click it and it would be brought in.  Now when I do this I am brought into a microsoft viewer. To edit a picture I found in Bridge I have to write down its name and directory, open up CS5 (if it is not) and navigate to the photo.  I found the place in Photshop and Bridge where you are supposed to be able to change the default program invoked when you double click on a photo in Bridge but there is no choice given other than the Microsoft viewer.  Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.  At some point some web site I was reading suggested the problem being related to CS5 failing to make some change in the registry when it installed? This, or its solution is beyond my ken... Thanks, RobStl
