Log-ins don't work after an OS X Leopard Time Machine restore

I upgraded the RAM and HDD on a Santa Rosa MacBook and then did a Time Machine restore from my old iMac G5 Time Machine backup.  Everything seemed to go well but afterwards my login and admin passwords were no longer accepted.  Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • After upgrade to Snow Leopard, Time Machine not working

    Hi all,
    About two days ago I upgraded my MacBook 4.1 to Snow Leopard.
    Now Time Machine cannot backup to my external HDD anymore. One error message stated that it would not fine the settings file.
    Please help.
    What do I need to do to get my backups working again?
    Thank you

    Pondini - I have an issue too. And so I went to the troubleshooting tips you listed here and was not able to find a solution. Specifically, I don't get a message. I plain ole don't get nothing. After I installed Snow my first backup failed. Funny thing is the backup on my wifes computer also failed. She does not have an Intel Mac. It's a PowerBook G4. Hence no Snow Leopard there. I have a iMac 24 Aluminum. My Time Capsule backup worked fine until Snow. My TC is wired via ethernet. There is no latest date. When Time Machine backup starts the TM preference pane says it's "Making disk available" Something to that effect. And that's where it stays. If I then try to do anything with the preference panel - like close it - I find out the Preferences are not responding. So I force quit. I try to stop Time Machine backups and it's no good. The TM indicator - that little backwards running clock - in the menu bar just keeps on it's merry little way. The only way to stop it - shutdown. Strange thing is shutdown then refuses to - well, shutdown. I end up having to hold the power button for 5 seconds. I don't get error messages. I get nothing indicating what may be causing this problem. I have been searching these and other forums looking for an answer. I had hoped the user tips you listed would have a solution, but, alas, no. I deleted the timemachine plist in the "higher" library. No luck. I have powered down everything. No luck. Those were two ideas I saw that said they worked. So where do I go from here? Where do I look for error messages that will point me in the right direction? I'd appreciate any help from anybody.

  • IPhoto won't open after clean install followed by Time Machine restoration of data.

    Hello.
    I've just completed a clean install of OS X Yosemite followed by a restoration of my data from a Time Machine backup on my Mid 2010 iMac i3 3.2GHz.
    Since the install iPhoto will no longer open. The icon in the dock bounces for a short while and then I receive the following error: iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. It then shows problem details and system configuration, the top part of which I post below:

    I then get a long list of binary image data which I haven't posted here (but can if required).
    I believe the version of iPhoto I have is 9.6 as that update was installed a short while before I did the clean install of the OS.
    I would try reinstalling the iPhoto again but cannot see a way to uninstall or to download again from the app store.
    Has anybody seen this behaviour before and/or know of a fix or workaround so I can get my iPhoto program working again please?
    Many thanks for your time.
    Alex

    Looking at that report I would reinstall iPhoto as a first step:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Magic Trackpad System Pref disappeared after Time Machine Restore

    My Magic Trackpad was working fine until I did a Time Machine restore. Now only the old trackpad Pref is available. Software Update does not show Magic Trackpad as an available update. Yes, my computer is compatible with Magic Trackpad - it worked before the TM Restore. I paired it before trying SW Update. I unpaired it and paired it again. I restarted zapping PRAM.
    How do I get the Magic Trackpad to work again?

    Hazem -
    Thanks. I downloaded the Magic Trackpad 1.0 update and it worked. I did not realize that you could download from Support / Downloads in addition to Software Update.
    BTW I just installed the Seagate Momentus XT 500GB internal hard drive. The best speed upgrade I've ever done. Of course, apps don't run faster, but startup of often-used apps is 2-3X faster, including system startup. It gives an overall feeling of improved speed.

  • Disks Locked after Time Machine restore

    All my disks appear locked in the finder after having to do a Time Machine restore. I can't write to them.
    If I go to "Get Info" there's nothing indicating that it's locked.
    I also tried changing "Permissions" to everyone Read & WRite, but it wouldn't let me and repairing permissions.
    What's going on here? Some kind of permission problems I assume.

    It keeps on asking for the password but won't let me type, or it just gives me a new line:
    Last login: Thu Apr 10 11:47:39 on ttys000
    new-host-2:~ erland$ ls -aldeO@ /Volumes/"Samples"
    drwxrwxr-t 16 erland staff - 612 Oct 29 12:43 /Volumes/Samples
    new-host-2:~ erland$ sudo chflags nouchg /Volumes/"Samples""
    sudo chflags nouchg /Volumes/"Samples"
    This is what happened with the second command:
    Last login: Thu Apr 10 11:47:39 on ttys000
    new-host-2:~ erland$ ls -aldeO@ /Volumes/"Samples"

    You need to edit your network preferences to order the network selection list.  Goto this support page  Using network locations (Mac OS X v10.6 and later) and edit your selection list.

    Hi Jim,
    You're welcome
    Is the version of Windows 7 Ultimate you have installed 32bit or 64bit?
    Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers - do you see an existing entry for the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC listed here?
    There is an alternative IDT Audio driver you may wish to try on the following link.

    Let me know if you get the same error with this version.

  • Buit in ethernet don't work after installing Lion

    Built in ethernet don't work after installing OSX 10.7 on my MacBookPro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 15.
    Someone else has the same problem?
    On my MacPro 2 x 2.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon it's not working good, i have to do a restart to get internet connection.
    Is there somebody who has te same problem and has a solution?

    Something does look odd to me unless it's a typo in your post.
    This look like what I'd expect from the NetGear Router - not form the modem. That is when You browse the router stats (http:/192.168.1.1)
    I work with a modem with te folowing preverences:
    Wan IP address    87.211.205.210
    Lan IP address     192.168.1.1
    Primery DNS server       62.58.50.5
    Secondary DNS server   62.58.50.6
    and a separate router Netgear WGT624v3
    This is not exactly what I would expect from System Preferences/Network
    the system preferences for the network are
    Configure       by DHCP
    IP address     192.168.1.15
    Subnetmask  255.255.255.0
    Router           192.168.5.1  <<<<<<<<<<< this should be 192.168.1.1??????
    DNS              208.67.222.222
                         208.67.220.220
    The Router address in System Preferences/Network should be the same as the LAN IP Address. In this case it's on a different network.
    If this is not a type then this is a problem!
    Not sure how it got to be that way.
    Does it persist when resetting the modemand router?/
