Lion does not recognize any login passwords even after PW reset
Hi guys!
While working on my macbookpro with lion, I got a request to write my admin password for uninstall of an app. The thing is that my usual password didn't work. So I rebooted my mac and surprise, surprise: none of the user accounts (3), including root were accepting their own passwords!
So I made CMD+R, Terminal, resetpassword, and changed them all, including ALCs reset: No effect on any user login! still gives me the shake's and after 3 trials the password hint...
I'm hopping not to have to make a complete system restore from timemachine, or a clean install..
I find this problem really creppy,
Any toughts are much appreciated.
Thanks!
Try the steps in another forum this step I found on the by poster named g/re/p:
"Boot into Single-User Mode."
1. Shut down the computer if it is on.
2. Press the power button to start the computer.
3. Immediately press and hold the Command (Apple)
and the S keys until you see white text appear.
At the prompt, type fsck -yf and press the return key.
Type mount -uw / and press the return key.
Type rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone and press return.
Type reboot
When the computer restarts, it should act as if you had
just installed OS X for the first time - it will prompt you
for information to set up an administrator level account.

I Have downloaded M Lion on a 2007 (?) 17" MacBook Pro and now the computer does not recognize my password on trying to restart. Is there anyway to undo the download so I can get my computer back!!????
Hello WadeH3,
You may be able to reset your password using your Apple ID. The following article outlines how to do so:

Server does not recognize my username password
Hello I just tried to change my account on IPHOTO's to email some photo's. I am still getting the message that the server does not recognize my username/password.
I am getting really frustrated. They mention what is my username , using my email address plus smtp server is added to the end of my email address in one place , so I am not sure what this is and why I am having such difficulty.
Thank you for some help here
MaureenHi Bob,
The following is exactly what I do, I go to IPHOTO and click on the photo I want to send, then I go to the Share menu and insert the email address where I want it sent. In that message it shows my other account which is my email address that I use all the time for all my correspondance. So I have that as the address I am sending from
Then I hit send and a text box comes up saying there is some text related to the photo looks like you could put a description here so I just hit Send anyway. Then I hit the send key and that is when the message box pops up with my complete email address with ;smtp.me.com" at the end . None of those letters or characters are in my email address. Any help you can offer I am greatly appreciative!
Cheers

After downloading lion does not recognize blank discs or dvd´s cannot burn anything
I downloaded Lion and now my mac does not recognize any blank cd or dvd and I cannot burn anything, not with Toast 10, or with iDvd still not recognized. Can someone help me??
Hello
I have been trying to fix a similar issue on my wife's PowerBookG4. I cannot pin point when it started, but she noticed it a couple weeks ago when she tried burning a disc. We have come to discover that her drive will no longer mount any discs at all (blank or otherwise burned discs or software). If I had to make a guess it had to have started in the last month or so after some recent update. Maybe 10.5.2? I am not sure.
I am getting extremely frustrated with Apple though on this matter because I have been browsing multiple forums and seeing this exact issue over and over again and nobody seems to have a solution or correct diagnostic for it.
I have tried zapping PRAM, I have tried many types of discs, brands, etc. and nothing works. I know this is a Software issue, it has to be. There are a LOT of people reporting this issue. If necessary I will start linking to all the different posts that I found in the last few days.
Please post some help, ASAP. This has been a major inconvenience and I cannot believe that Apple hasn't discovered the problem with how many people have been reporting it.

Suddenly I can no longer email photos directly via iphoto mail. The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password". I used to be able to re-size my photos before sending so that they jpeg or pixels were larger for publishing in newspapers or magazines, but I can no longer do that. Apple tech support told me to change my iphoto "preferences" to using regular email to send. But that does not allow me to re-size. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't know if there was an update that caused this or what? Please help.
The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password".
That error message usually will pop up, when there is a conflict between the "From" setting for the mail account you are sending from and the selected outgoing mail server. Probably the outgoing Mail server is receiving a user name and password it does not understand. When the mail returns unsent, do you see the "Try again" panel with the option to select a different outgoing mail server?
If you do not see this panel, change the Mail "Preferences > General" to "If Outgoing server is unavailable: Show a list of alternate servers". This way, you will know, which server Mail is trying to send from.
Have you tried to set "From" pop-up menu to one of your other email addresses? If that works, change your settings in Mail to always send from this address. You can set this option in the Mail "Preferences > Composing: Send New Messages from". I have my "Send New Messages from" set to "iCloud". That is working best for me with iPhoto. -
For one Urgent Change while performing the one of the Approval before changing the status to 'To Be Tested'
We are getting below error.
The system does not recognize any changes using the CTS WBS BOM in the development system. The transaction is therefore incorrect or the status was reset by the system.
COuld anyone please help us to know, How it can be resolved?
We also have this below error.
System Response
If the PPF action is a condition check, the condition is initially considered as not met, and leads to another warning, an error message, or status reset, depending on the configuration.
If the PPF action is the execution of a task in the task list, and the exception is critical, there is another error message in the document.
Procedure
The condition cannot be met until the cause is removed. Analyze all messages in the transaction application log.
Procedure for System Administration
Analyze any other messages in the task list application log, and the entries for the object /TMWFLOW/CMSCV
Additional Information:
System cancel RFC destination SM_UK4CLNT005_TRUSTED, Call TR_READ_COMM:
No authorization to log on as a trusted system (Tr usted RC=0).
/TMWFLOW/TU_GET_REQUEST_REMOTE:E:/TMWFLOW/TRACK_N:107
For above error Table /TMWFLOW/REP_DATA_FLOWwas refreshed as well but still the same error.If you are in Test System, you can use function module AA_AFABER_DELETE to totally delete the depreciation area (tcode SE37, specify chart of depreciation and depreciation area), After that recreate your depreciation area and run AFBN. But before you do that, have you created a retirement transaction type that limits the posting on your new depreciation area? If not create one.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!

My imac is not recognizing any external dvd writer drive. I have imac with Core i7 and Mac OS 10.6.8. I have tried external dvd writers from Samsung and Amazon Essentials but the computer does not recognize any of them. Which Dvd writer is compatible?
I have an external firewire burner; it never shows on the desktop unless I insert a CD or DVD - that icon will then show (if I have my preferences set to show those on the desktop). Hae you checked in Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) to see if it is listed under drives?

hi I bought an America iPhone 5 and went on all mobile networks was blocked when I got home in Romania phone does not recognize any SIM not working sorry my english not good please can you help me
Ask the carrier in the US who the phone is locked to if they will unlock it for you - put an unlock request into that carrier.
Other than that and if they refuse to unlock it, then there is nothing you can do except buy a new phone. -
My IPhone 4S does not recognize any wi-fi network. I have turned it off and on a dozen times and tried 6 places which have wi-fi.
I am trying to update to 7.0.2 and cannot because I cannot access a wi-fi.Give this a whirl and see if this helps.
Forget the network on the device and turn wifi off.
Turn bluetooth off. (Not sure why, but seemed to help with others)
Turn on airplane mode and then off again.
Reconnect to you network and open up a browser to confirm connection.
