Log in to account

Hi,
I want to create a simple A.S.S. script that displays some buttons with the names of user accounts on my computer, and that when you click on one, it opens the account, AND logs me out.
None of the accounts have passwords...
Thank you!

The link I gave you is just an account switcher. You'll have to create the shell script I was talking about and you can combine it with AppleScript for the GUI. Just use the "do shell ..." command/function thing. I only know the basics of Unix so you'll have to ask around in the Unix section or just check out this tutorial:

Verify Your Payment message when i log into my account....

Hi, I found out my iTunes account was hacked last year as a hacker using a trojan horse backdoor program remotely controlled my computer. Long story short...i got a better anti-virus program scanned my computer and quarantined it. However, up until this day, everytime i log into my account, the person keeps playing around with it. They have tried to download music and succeeded. They are trying to buy music on my account but can't and now everytime i log into my account i get the message (Verify your payment). I clikc okay and it sends me to my account information pop up that says right next to my name and address (You must verify your payment before you can make purchases). This doesn't happen all the time and that i how i know someone is fooling around with it. Apple support told me how it will ak you that from time to time just so you keep your information up to date (that will only pop up if you are planning on buying something). Are any of you going through the same problem? And the songs on my album that i bought at the store are all in the wrong order. Is that happening to you to? It was never like that until the last iTunes update.
<Edited By Host>

why would a host be editing my post? Is someone from the Apple company doing this? Why would you have to edit my post? Whta right do you have logging into my account to make changes to anything i make?

Is is=t possable to have your phone banned from a app forever???
HELP !!

I just asked the same thing and did some research. Some people have said that the UDID code is like banned from instagram, but your account isn't. I'm able to use it on my phone but not on my iPod.

I need to "reboot" my iMac. Cant log in, profile account file(s) problably missing

I was deleting some applications etc. on my iMac when the screen suddenly toned down
and a message said that i had to restart the computer (by holding the power-button).
After that I cant log onto my account. This message pops up;
"You are unable to log in to the FileVault user account "daniel" at this time.
Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred"
So I guess that I must have managed to delete some file that belonged to the "daniel profile".
This is mainly a problem since this is the only account on the computer with no Guest-
account activated either. Since their is no option to create a new account at the start-up
dashboard... well.. you see my problem.
So what I have done so far is to try a Safe Boot. The support page here on this site said
that this will include a automatic disc check and repair.. However Im not sure if that
worked at all because i still had to (try) to log onto the Daniel profile which didnt work.
And no difference was made after restarting again.
I have no Mac OS X Install Disc avaliable at the moment, hopefully its still around somewhere.
Since i didnt live where I live now when i got the iMac its problably in my former home
(parents).. Not an option right at this very moment.
So instead i am now moving on to the Single User Mode and Fsck. I write the
whole /sbin/fsck -fy and i do get a FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED message (one time),
even goes for some more rounds just in case.
I reboot but the problem is still there.
So instead i tried to create another user through the Fsck with
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
Which take me to the initial set-up screen however i can now not pass the
screen where you choose language (i click a language and the screen goes black
for a sec and then it turns back to the language screen again)
So i do "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone" and is now back to where i started..
Im thinking that maybe deleting the user ("rm - R /users/username") would
be something that might work.. but then again i dont know..
Also im starting to think that some of the problem is in that i changed the account username
it says "Namn" at the login screen but as i wrote "Namn" cant be find in the system,
but the old one "(Daniel") does.
... Any ideas? Is there anything I can do? Will the CD work? If i dont find the CD can i get another one?
Does your average computer store has knowledge about things like these?

Apple Store should be able to help, I doubt just any computer store will know how.
Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

If account was renamed that won't be good at all.
Do you have a Backup?

Error message: "Logging into the account failed because an error occurred."

Hello,
We had an XServe G5 2.0 DP 5GB/80/2x250 running Mac OS X 10.3.9 Server with all updates as a main server for a school. The server provides Open Directory Master as well as File-Sharing (AFP and SMB) and e-mail services to about 30 teachers and 300 students. The user home directories reside on the server. A web server also runs on the machine. The students use a pool of laptops, which are configured with a local guest and admin account as well as access to the server-based home directories with Directory Access. The server had the OS running on the 80 GB hard drive and all data (Home directories, mail database, website, etc. were on the two mirrored 250 GB drives.) All was working well until...
A few weeks ago, one of the two 250 GB died. We decided to use the opportunity to upgrade the server and set it up with 3 x 750 GB, two drives running as a mirrored pair to hold OS AND Data, the other as a stand-by unit to help replace a failing drive.
We migrated the OS and all data from the previous drives without a problem. Since now, all data is residing on one pair of drives, we put the data from the old "Data" drive in a folder on the root level of the new HD pair. We wrote a script that launches at startup which creates the symlink in /Volumes/Data to link to /Data. We thought that with this, all would be well.
However: When any user tries to log into his account from any iBook (10.3.9 or 10.4.11) (wirelessly), he gets the message:
"Logging into the account failed because an error occurred. The home folder for the user account is located on an afp or smb server. contact your system administrator for help"
If the user logs in to the guest account on the iBook, then accesses his home directory via file-sharing, he can see (read/write) all his data. So, the data and privileges seem to be OK, as well as Open Directory working correctly. Mail and the web work well also, as does logging in to a user account from one of the PC's (wired).
Can anyone make any suggestions as to how to fix the situation? Currently, the users are using the guest accounts and accessing their data via filesharing, as well as using webmail for their e-mail, but this is a major nuisance.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Alain Chammas
A user trying to access his account from a PC (wired) has no problems.

A good number of folks are having problems with this same error message at login, and nobody seems to have found a fix.
I believe I have stumbled upon, if not a solution, at least part of the answer. If you're logged into a 10.4 workstation, open a Finder window and click the "Network" icon. The first time you do this, you'll only see "Library" and "Servers" icons, but if you let it sit for a moment, other folders will magically appear. One of these is "My Network" which is the critical part.
In Workgroup Manager, edit one of your users' home directory configuration. There's a URL piece, usually "afp://server.domain.com/Users" (which is what shows up in the window when you click on the "Home" tab for that user), and then there's a "Home" path that is usually something like "/Network/Servers/servername/Users/username". Trouble is, you've noticed that 10.4 doesn't put servers into the "Servers" path, but rather into the "My Network" path.
So, if you change that "Home" path to read "/Network/My Network/servername/Users/username", it should work--with one caveat. Apparently 10.4 doesn't create the "My Network" path on a given client until you actually browse the network on that client. If you haven't logged into a 10.4 workstation and browsed the network, the "My Network" path won't be there, and you'll still get the error. Login as a local user, browse the network (so that the "My Network" folder shows up), logout, and then login as an Open Directory user, and it should work.
I'm betting that 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5 all handle this issue differently, so if you're in a mixed-version situation, you may have to experiment to find a workable fix.
Derndest thing I ever saw.

HT1353 Is it possible to have another iCloud login on my unit without me logging into that account?

Is it possible to have another iCloud login on my unit without me logging into that account?
I lost my iTouch4 last June10 after a party. I stayed in a hotel with my team that night when i lost it --- lost in the hotel not in the party. I just got my new iPhone 4S this June25. When i used Find my Phone app i saw that there are 2 devices: ipod (named after one of my teammates) and iPhone (under my name). whne i check the features of my iPhone, the contacts, calendar, bookmarks and apps i downloaded previously on iTunes are sync to what i entered on my iTouch. My teammate told me that he also noticed that on "his iPod" and he dont know why his apple ID was changed to mine.
Is it possible to get that situation? Or is that an evidence that he has my iPod touch 4? I need help to clear things out. Thanks.

- I do not understand what yo are seeing with the FIndMyiPod app. That app can set up to find any iOS device. you just have to enter the Apple ID and passwords used for that device.
- on your computer go to iCloud, sign into your account and go to FindMyiPhone. What do you find?

My Iphone has family emails that appear randomly when I try to update apps or generally have to log into my account. It comes up as my sister in laws address. She was once connected to our account when she got her phone at first. How can I remove? There are only two other email address's associated with my account and hers was never one of them! I do have a cloud set up on my phone. I thought this issue had gone away when I canged my passwords, but I just registered a new phone yesterday and its happening again!
Can anyone help me?

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, and all future updates will require you to enter the password associated with this ID, whether you are currently using this ID for purchases or not. If you are being prompted for your sister-in-law's Apple ID when updating it means that there must be one or more apps on your phone that was purchased using her Apple ID. (When she synced with your computer it may have transferred this app to your library. It was subsequently synced to your phone.) The only way to stop the prompt for her ID is to delete these apps from your phone and your iTunes library and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

I'm trying to log onto app store, but I keep getting a message that my device or computer is unable to be verify. How do I verify it. However, when I use itunes, I have no problems in logging onto my account with the same apple ID

I'm trying to log onto app store, but I keep getting a message the my device or computer is unable to be verified. How do I verify it when the app store will not allow me to log onto the account even when I use my Apple ID, which works with no problem on itunes. What is up and how do I correct it now!

Check your mac's Serial Number.
Some people have problems with missing serial numbers on their Macs and that's the message you get when this happens.
Click on the Apple at the top left of the screen, open "About this Mac" and click on "More Info". You should see a list with information about your Macbook Air. Check that on the Serial Number field you have your Mac's Serial. If you have "SystemSerial#" written instead then that's your problem.
You can re-enter your serial number if you have a USB CD drive, it's not very straightforward but I can walk you through it if you need it.
Cheers

How can I reset my iPad YouTube password? I can't sign into youtube on iPad. It says Username or password is wrong although both are correct when I log into YouTube account via Google.

how can I reset my iPad YouTube password? I can't sign into youtube on iPad. It says Username or password is wrong although both are correct when I log into YouTube account via Google. I also tried my husbands youtube login and password and the same outcome. Now I cant log into YouTube via the iPad account. I can log into Youtube via Google however my subscriptions and favorites are all gone. Can I reset the YouTube account located on the iPad? I cant seem to reset the password or delete the app and re-add. I dont want to reset the iPad since I have alot of videos and pictures on it.

Do you have Google 2 stage authentication turned on?
If so, you wont't be able to use your normal google password, but will have to instead generate an "application specific" password for the iPad YouTube app in the google security settings section.

How can i log into my account if....

So I just got my own account yesterday and was wondering how could I log into my account. I did the process in store, I'm getting a new phone and I don't have a number yet and I didn't receive any information about my account. Does that mean I don't have one or do I need to contact someone to get it or do I have to wait until the phone come to set up an account ?

Account access is important in order to properly manage things. We can help you here. Is this for My Verizon? If it is, you will need a cellular number in order to get through the account creation. If it's not My Verizon, please tell us what it is so that we can help. Thank you.

iTunes is updated and works fine and I am able to log onto my account. When I go to purchase a song, I get the error message "Your Apple ID has been disabled". I've tried different methods: changing passwords, making a new account with another email address, and emailing itunes tech support. I am curious as to how many others have been experiencing the same issue. When I googled the error, it seemed like it was happening extremely often with many people.
We all love their products, but they always come with a lot of issues and horrible customer support.
My apple Id is [email protected]

My Iphone 4 is telling me the same thing and I believe I figured out what the problem is. I had some fraudulent charges on my itunes account, so I call my bank and disputed the charges. Right after I did that, I started getting the message "Your apple ID has been disabled." I just realized today that the charges are not fraudulent, they are "in app purchases." One of my daughters downloaded the game Top Girl which is FREE, but in the game Top Girl you use money in the game to purchase things. It just so happens that the money you use to purchase things is real money MY Money!!!. My daughter thought she was using play money in the game and had no idea she was using real money. She spent $106.00 buying stuff. Now I have to call the bank and tell them to release the hold and pay Itunes. I'm hoping this solves the problem. Here is the link to learn how to disable "in app purchase" on your iphone or ipad.

Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

Firefox Sync: I cannot log into my account using the sync key that was given to me and nothing I do seems to fix it. Is there anyway I can "reset" my username? I'd like to reopen an account using my same username as opposed to starting from scratch.

reading through that, it doesn't look like you were given up on Candice. you never replied to StarDeb's last set of questions in that thread. she was probably waiting to hear back from you.
why didn't you reply?
