Login desktop problem

I have two desktops set up in vcenter for testing purposes. After logging in to both desktops, if a third person tries to log in, the first session is closed (even though it is being used) and given to that person. I have been unable to find any documentation on how to control this. Can anyone help?

Microsoft Windows desktop only allows one RDP connection and will give it to whom ever wants to connect. I don't know of a way to prevent a user from stealing sessions. It could be possible but I don't know how to.

Pre-login desktop

Only a small point I know, in an otherwise great installation. The background for the initial login screen looks like a cheap blurry version of the Aurora desktop. Once I've logged in it changes to a much nicer Aurora Leopard desktop. Is there a way of changing the pre-login desktop background?

Same problem here. Snow Leopard seems to use the correct resolution for my external monitor only AFTER the login. With Leopard the resolution was the right one already at the login stage...
Too bad!

Not the usual 'login loop' problem, help.

The login loop problem I'm facing is not the usual login loop problem when starting up mac; it's when I'm trying to log into websites or applications (most of them, eg. facebook, instagram).
I have tried:
using other browsers: Safari, Firefox, Maxthon, Chrome
clearing all cookies / caches / keychains / passwords
repairing disk
deleting launchservices cache
using other userid to login
All to no avail.
How do I solve this without having to reformat/install mac?
Thank you.

Hi, are you using Parental contrils or a managed account, or an admin account?

Fresh install of trial version of Captivate 8 on OS X 10.9.3 - no previous version of Captivate on machine. I've got lots of crashing to desktop problems right off the bat. Is there a patch available?

Fresh install of trial version of Captivate 8 on OS X 10.9.3 - no previous version of Captivate on machine. I've got lots of crashing to desktop problems right off the bat. Is there a patch available? I work at a University and we're evaluating for online courseware - my last experience with Captivate was 5.0. Anyone else experience this with the trial download?

Hi there,
There is no difference in terms of usage and features between a trial version and a licensed version.
Could you tell me do you get any specific error message when it crashes, or does it crash while using a particular feature, or is it random?
Can you also try with a different user account (admin) on your MAC, check if it behaves same there?
Thanks.

HT201321 Finder flashing, "Window Restore", desktop problems

I've never seen this happen before. My finder icon bounces in the dock while a window with this warning is up, "Window Restore problem would you like to restore or not restore?" Since it is flashing on and off you can't click either button. What we found was there was a file on the desktop it did not like, I made a folder inside the main HD and put the items from the destop in it and deleted what was on the desktop. This stopped the Finder bouncing problem but Indesign and Acrobat keep crashing. I can log in as admin and it works well but need to fix the desktop problem. Any ideas?

Hi，
Does the issue occur just after the installation or after some changes?
Please try the follow step to see if it works:
1.Open Task Manager by right-click on Taskbar and select Start Task Manager or by using keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+Esc".
2.Click on More Details button and go to "Processes" tab.
3.Now look for "Windows Explorer" process. As soon as you click on it, you'll get a new button "Restart" at the bottom-right corner of the window.
4.You can also right-click on the process and select "Restart" option.
If it doesn't work,please try the safe mode and clean boot mode to check the result.

Desktop problems after Snow Leopard Installation

After a successful installation of Snow Leopard I am having problems with my Desktop. No matter what Desktop graphic I choose, after 2-3 minutes the Desktop goes back to a plain blue background. Any idea what is causing this? and how to fix it?

Hmm,
I was not familiar with EarthDesk but now that I know about it - I conjecture that application runs in the background, right?
If it does run in the background - then that is the real base of the problem installing Snow Leopard. Others with (other) apps running in the background have experienced repeated run-then-eject-installer problems. One person reported that CarbonCopyCloner's scheduling app caused this specific problem.
Now, I understand that the desktop problem isn't the same as having the installer begin to run, then stop and eject the installer disk. My point is only that apps running in the background are apparently causing (now various) problems with the SL installer.
Glad to see that one more problem has been solved.

Lion login screen problems on Mid 2009 MacBook Pro

After upgrading my wife's Mid 2009 MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Lion we are seeing weird behavior on the login screen after the computer wakes from sleep mode.
The screen is only partially drawn (usually the top left 1/4 of the screen), and the grey background is shown instead of her desktop background picture. When you move the mouse around on the screen, it repaints blocks on the screen where the pointer has been.
This only seems to happen when the machine sleeps for a long period of time, e.g., overnight. When it just sleeps for a little while we don't see the issue.
When searching the forums for anyone else with the problem, several folks said that there was an issue with the video drivers for the 9400M card and recommended switching to the 9600M GT, but her machine only has the 9400M in it.
All other aspects of the system work fine.
Anyone else seeing this? Any clues?

Surprised there hasn't been anyone else experiencing this issue.
I have seen this on 2 new MBP 2.3mhz i5's with the Intel HD 3000 384mb graphics, Lion 10.7.3 & 10.7.4.
Also with the latest Lion firmware for the late 2011 MBP's that addresses compatibility and stability issues.
Hopefully there is a fix soon because the painting on my locked screen to login is getting annoying

Java desktop problem after patch 118870-01 install

FYI
Java desktop stopped functioning properly after the installation of patch 118870-01, part of the recommended patch cluster.
Symptoms included no longer being able to launch mozilla, and upon reboot, no longer being able to login to java desktop.
patchrm 118870-01 fixed the problem.

Found that patch 119593-01 also appears to be causing the problem, along with patch 118870-01.
Fun :)

Blue Background Login Screen Problem

Hello everyone,
I tried to change my login screen's background using sudo commands and now it's this light blue and I can't seem to change it no matter what method I try.
This is the method that messed everything up:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070610164328933
I looked in my computers login plist as well as my CoreServices folder to make sure that the login image is the image I want and they both have the correct folder down. Has anyone had this problem and fixed or helped someone fix this?
This is a purely aesthetic problem but it's really, really getting to me. It's almost to the point where I'm trying to revert to an older time on my computer (Time Machine?).
If someone could please help, it would be greatly appreciated.

I found the solution to this problem on another forum. If anyone finds this, this is what you do:
Delete the com.apple.loginwindow.plist that you can find in the /Library/Preferences folder. After this I recommend using an Application to set your backround (so that you aren't fiddling with things yourself). You can either use Desktop 2 Login or Login Back -- either work. Anyways, I'd back up your plist file before you delete just incase. This worked for me and hopefully it works for you.

OSX Yosemite login screen problem.

Hello,
I've been using a 15" Macbook Pro with Retina Display for almost a year now, and recently got a problem.
The login screen shows some wavy-lines, and they only appear when i start or restart my macbook, and i wonder if it got worse.
If anyone has any fixes, please let me know by replying to this thread.
Thank you,

I have the same thing when I encounter the login screen. I "think" it's just a blurred image of what will appear as your background image on your desktop after logging in.

Remote desktop problem @ MSI P55 GD-65

hello guys. i just bought this board with intel i7 860 and install windows server 2003 on it.
like my previous system, i have a problem when connecting to my pc using remote desktop from outside, it will become "black screen" or "blank screen" after login. after several minutes, disconnected with reason: remote desktop disconnected.
i had experienced the same problem with my asus s755 motherboard with q9550, and someone ask me to enable acpi 2.0 inside the bios. after doing that, i finally can remote desktop my pc from outside.
the question is, i don't see any acpi 2.0 enable/disable inside msi p55 gd-65 bios. or is that anything i missed out
thank you in advance.

UPDATED: already format & install windows using AHCI mode. now can remote desktop. thank you for the solution

Desktop Problem-Icons Won't Work or Won't Adjust

Yesterday my desktop icons decided to not work. I could not open from the desktop, move folders, etc. It is as if they were all locked. I COULD open Finder, go to Desktop, and open files and start apps from there. Then I went to View Options, clicked Snap To Grid, and all icons moved. I then turned it off (None). But the icons won't respond. They are stuck in "Snap to Grid." I still can't open a folder on the desktop, but applications will now start.
This is a bizarre one. Any help would be appreciated.

I've been having this problem as well, restarting only corrects it for about an hour or so. Was not able to find the library com.apple.finder.plist file in my library and then did a universal search using that string and no results. Not sure why other people have that preference file and I don't. This is a frustrating problem that will influence my decision to purchase new Macs in the future. It's a real time waster. In addition, often when I click on a folder, it comes up empty, even though there may be hundreds of files in the folder. It seems it's part of the same problem, inasmuch as the finder can't process data nodes correctly. The only solution is to open the folder, close it, and open it again and then the files inside it appear, albeit slowly.

Cisco VPN Software and Remote Desktop Problem

Hello-
Please have patience as I just got my first mac and I'm really just learning how everything works.
Anyway, I'm trying to connect to my office network from my iMac (OS X 10.5.3) using the Cisco VPN client ver. 4.9.01 (0030) and the Remote Desktop Connection v2.0.0 Beta 3. I'm able to connect via the VPN but I cannot connect to the remote machine using either the machine's hostname or IP address.
In order to troubleshoot the issue, I tried to ping the remote machine after connecting via VPN and it fails. The name is resolving but ping fails with a "No route to host" and then "Host is down error." However, I know the host is up since when I connect via VPN from my PC I can ping the remote machine without a problem.
Anyone have any ideas? Does the Cisco VPN client for Mac not work well? Is there some simple configuration setting I'm missing somewhere? BTW, I'm connecting to the Internet via WiFi and am using a Linksys WRT54G router.
thx,
ian

Hello Ian:
Welcome to Apple discussions (and to the wonderful world of Macs). I think you will find these forums represent the best on-line community anywhere - and everyone is a volunteer!
I am no help with your problem as I have not used a Cisco VPN. However, in my previous business life I did connect my home Mac to my business VPN. I found that our IT people were most helpful in smoothing connection issues.
This forum addresses connection issues if you want to post there:

Portege m700 Tablet Extended Desktop Problem

I've looked all over and can't find a good answer to this, so I figured I'd better check with the source! I have a Toshiba Portege m700 tablet PC, which has an LCD monitor connected using the digital cable.
I have the external monitor set as my primary, with the notebook monitor set as the secondary, providing extra desktop real estate to the right of the first monitor.
The problem is that when I use the touchscreen, the mouse controls are only active on the primary monitor (the external one). What I'd like to do is have the external monitor be primary, the notebook monitor be secondary, and be able to drag items to the notebook and use ink, or onenote, or other touchscreen apps on there. I want the touchscreen to control ONLY the secondary (notebook) monitor. Is this possible?
It seems like there should be some way to just instruct the computer to map the touchscreen to the secondary monitor instead of always just mapping to the primary.
However, if there is not, what I did experiment with is having the notebook as primary and the external as secondary, and then using some sort of multimonitor software to manage the taskbar and such to create the illusion of the external monitor being primary. The problem here is that while the notebook is 1280 x 800 resolution, the external monitor is capable of 1280 x 1024, but when set as secondary will go no higher than 1280 x 800. Is there a way to force the external monitor to run in 1280 x 1024 if I'm using it as the secondary?
Is this something for which I need an updated graphics driver? I tried to get a newer version of the Intel GMA, but it actually removed all extended desktop options for me, so I rolled it back. The version it's running is 6.14.10.4837.
Thank you in advance for anyone pointing me to any driver updates, configuration directions, or external software that can effectively manage all these options of extended desktop, screen resolution, and what monitor is assigned to touchscreen control!

I've just tested the "Extended Desktop for Tablet PC" powertoy, and that doesn't solve this problem. With the tablet set as the secondary monitor, when I move the window onto that screen, it just recurses the image over itself, which isn't really useful.
No one has any other ideas about this?

IMac 27" extended desktop problems

Hi!
I own a 2011 iMac 27" and I am having issues using a Samsung SyncMaster T240M display as extended desktop.
It works fine when I am just using the computer for a while, but if the displays go to sleep mode, when I return to the computer the iMac display restores right away but then the Samsung display starts to go on and off repeatedly until it finally stays on, but then all my applications are on the iMac display.
It is pretty much like what would happen if I had unplugged the monitor and plugged it back in.
Is there a way to fix this or do I just have to live with that? Has anyone experienced the same problem with other displays? Maybe this Samsung display is not syncing well with the iMac?
Anyway, any help will be very much appreciated.
See you,
JP

If the machine is covered by warranty or even better by AppleCare then contact AppleCare. They will be able to do in-home service if you are within 50 miles of an AASP. You will have to request this service but they will do it.
