Login screen shows AM/PM time while resources are in Dutch

I have a strange anomaly.
After startup my Macs show the password screen and at the upper right time is shown in AM/PM.
After entering my password, the time is shown correctly in 24 hour format.
System Preferences/Date & Time/Clock:
- Use a 24 hour clock (checked)
- Show AM/PM (unchecked)
System Preferences/Language & Text/Format:
Netherlands (Dutch)
Any idea what could be wrong or which files should be deleted: perhaps com.apple.finder.plist ?
thx

Nobody, as the same situation is in Mountain Lion

  • System freezes and restart after user login screen shows up

    The interesting thing is thing is that the same thing happens on the bootcamp partition. Every time I turn on MBA mid 2012, when the login screen shows up, the computer freezes and than turns off. Same problem when I boot into bootcamp partition, the computer turns on, pass through windows logo and after the login screen shows, it turns off.
    ...forgot to mention that it's running osx 10.9
    I figure out that I can log in with Sage Mode. Every time I log in with Safe Mode, the error popup message shows up saying about the error and its log. There is the log:

    Any ideas?

    Problem solved... Figure out that in Safe Mode, the bootcamp partition is unmounted. So I thought that it could be the problem, when the login screen shows up, I guess the system was trying to mount the bootcamp partition and for some reason the computer was restarting. That's why the computer was turning off when I was trying to log in into Bootcamp partition also. So I wiped my bootcamp partition and resized the OSX partition. Now I can succesfully log in my user with out a problem

    Try this now.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    Izzy

    When you look at Setting > General > About does it show 550 in Songs? 
    Can you add songs to your phone from iTunes on your computer?
    I did an iOS update to one of the 6.X versions and it wiped out all my music and I had to add it back manually even though I has just done a backup to iTunes.  Restoring from that backup didn't help.  My music was all gone.  But since then I have not had any problems with the updates erasing my music.

  • MacBook Pro Stuck At Login Screen Showing White Screen.

    Hello.
    I recently got a MacBook Pro 13" with Mac OS X Lion.
    After I installed some updates and software, i rebooted and now its stuck
    at the login screen with a white screen. I can still move the mouse but nothing happens.
    I tried to restore my Mac, but it requires an internet connection. My network
    is setup as non-DHCP. I have to setup a manual IP address, but there aren`t any settings to do that.
    Is there any way to restore Mac OS X without an internet connection?
    Thank you for your answers.

    The  only way to use Lion Recovery is with an internet connection.

  • RE: Webclient UI login screen showing mutliple profiles

    Hi all,
    i am working on CRM Security and i have  a issue with the user login.
    i assigned user to a marketing manager profile in PPOMA_CRM in 2 differnt places (for ex north 1000 and south 2000)
    when user was logging in to Webclient UI, it was showing him 2 profiles north 1000 and south 2000 , asking him to select one profile for logging in. once user was in north and want to view south he has to logout and login back.
    i already restrcited user from ABAP side only to view north and south, but the only problem here is user doesn't want the options while loggin in. he wants to go in directly and there based on the ABAP authorizations it should restrict the user.
    what is the wrong i am doing and how can i correct this.
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    SS

    Manfred,
    you are correct, thanks for replying. user was assigned to 2 positions in a company. is there anyway we can prevent the selection of profiles (positions) at the time of login. they want to just login with out any selection and after going in it should restrict through PFCG roles.
    my plan is the below one.
    create 2 business roles and assign only one of them to position. now in PPOMA_CRM i want to assign every user to one position that is connected to businesss role.
    i will assign the user to another position as well which is not connected to business role. i think this way every user can login with the same  position where business role is connected and after logging based on the authorizations of the PFCG role ABAP side it will restrict the user.
    Let me know if this will work.
    thanks a lot in advance,
    SS

  • Why is my Creative Cloud login screen showing a black window and nothing else?

    After using the Creative Cloud installer and the download looking like it was working, what I presume is a login in window has launched but it's just a black window with a white logo at the top. There is nowhere to enter any information and the only button that works in the window is a cog icon which allows me to quit.

  • IMG 1.9 set-up screen shows up EVERY time I turn on my television

    Hello,
    I live in NJ and received the IMG 1.9 update a few days ago. 
    Every time I turn on my TV, I get the set-up screen asking me to choose my television type (standard or HDTV). For some reason, the box isn't "holding" my choice. I tried rebooting, but the set-up screen continues to pop up when I turn on the television. It let's me choose my television type (HDTV) and then everything is fine. But if I shut off the set and put it back on, the set-up screen is back.
    Is anyone else having this problem with 1.9? And if so, is there a solution.
    Thanks for any help.
    Redfran

    Did the Live Chat and here is what became of it, of course the rep proves once again that they never read the information you try to provide, they only know the script.  And they don't get it, asking a question that has been answered tends to tick us off.
    A Verizon Service Representative will be with you shortly. Thank you. Agent Kado has joined. (07:52:31) Kado : Chat ID for this session is 10011174309.
    (07:52:31)
    Kado(07:52:41): Thank you for using Verizon Live Chat technical support, my name is Kado. I apologize for any delays in reaching an agent. I can send a 1 time, informative, email to your listed email address at the end of this chat if you would like?
    DAVID (07:53:05): No thanks I have about 20 of those emails.
    Kado(07:53:35): Ok thank you, For account verification purposes, can I get your name, the account holders name, the physical address where you have the service, and a number where you can be reached, please?
    Kado(07:55:15): Thank you, do you mind if I call you David?
    DAVID (07:55:29): No I don't mind
    Kado(07:55:34): How can I assist you today David?
    DAVID (07:57:18): Last week we got the 1.9 software, and ever since, only on the 7232, we turn on the TV it asks if we have SD or HD, we select HD and continue on. But this happens every time the TV is turned on, is there a fix?
    Kado(07:58:18): One moment please.
    DAVID (07:58:41): I forgot to mention the box has been rebooted and auto corrected many times to no avail
    Kado(07:59:17): ok, do you select the HD or SD option?
    DAVID (07:59:43): I wrote above we select the HD
    Kado(08:00:13): Please turn it off and back on and select SD Kado(08:02:53): How we doing
    DAVID (08:02:55): Can't, it isn't happening when the box is turned on and off so quick. This is the only time it hasn't happened.
    Kado(08:03:25): Turn it off for a minute and then try please.
    DAVID (08:04:33): I am waiting to turn it on, what would selecting SD accomplish? Kado(08:05:13): it gets it out of the loop that it is in Kado(08:05:18): then we can go into the menu and change it.
    DAVID (08:06:06): OK, I'll have to do it later because it is not going into that screen when I turn it on.
    Kado(08:07:02): Ok, try that and it should break the loop and stop doing it. Kado(08:07:12): Is there anything else I can help you with today?
    DAVID (08:07:52): No, that is all, hoping that fixes things, otherwise the new software is much better, we really like it.
    Kado(08:08:22): Excellent! I want to thank you for choosing Verizon and I hope you can rate me a 10, in the survey at the end of this chat. Have a great day!

  • What does it mean when the screen shows only the time and the play button

    what does it mean when i turn on my i-pod and it has a white screen and all it displays is the time and the play button cant get to the main screen to play music

    Is the hold switch in the on position?  Try resetting the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  The iPod may have simply locked up.

  • How do I connect to computers that are being used in the lab, but have no address listed on the "all computers" screen and say "off line" while they are being used?

    Thanks for any help I can get.  I'm the new guy here at school, and did not set up the system, so I'm not familiar with any of the individual steps for correcting problems.  My question is listed in the window up top.
    Jim

    Thanks for the response. I tried to find out what you asked.  For example:
    1. Computer #35 is listed on the "all computers" screen but says "access denied", "not authorized",  right click for " get info" has no administrators listed, and I don't know how to add my computer as one.
    2.  "Scanner" screen # 35 is not listed either in "Bonjour", or "Local Network" (ethernet interface)
    3.  "Scanner 2" screen - same.
    4.  "Scanner 3" screen - same.

  • POP server, v 32.1.0, "Get Messages" get's few messages at a time, while there are 1000's on the server to be downloaded/synched???

    I am trying to use Thunderbird as email client and need to synch 1000's of messages (i.e. download them). Thunderbird only downloads a few at a time --when I click "Get Messages".
    It is a POP server (Google) and I am using Thunderbird 32.1.0
    I would appreciate any pointers/help.
    Thanks.

    Lets get some things crystal clear. Outlook is irrelevant. All other mail client are irrelevant. Second, anti virus vendors are sure to test their junk with the Number one email client in the world. will they bother going further. Apparently not if recent appalling releases from McAfee are anything to go by.
    When you click get messages the first thing that occurs is your anti virus sticks it's head into the process and starts replacing passwords security certificates and generally acting much like a virus. Do not be under any illusions. The first this to do when there are mail issues is disable the anti virus email scanner. The second is reboot your computer in safe mode. The third is ring your provider/ISP and see if they are having issues.
    A work email... there are significant issues being experienced by some Office 365 subscribers with email (or so my Small business mails list indicate)
    So what mail server (exchange is a special case) are you using a VPN or other security software to access the site? RDP perhaps?
    I continue with questions as is your y Is a small number then it would appear your mail server is only reporting a small number of mails to Thunderbird. But as I indicated earlier. Anti virus programs are a wildcard.

  • WiFi problem with iOS 6 and network login screen

    Here is a detail problem description:
    Equipment: iPad 3 with iOS 6
    Environment: corporate network with a login screen that requires login every 24 hours.
    What happens: The very first time I tried to login into the network everything worked fine. The login screen showed up (as always did with iOS 5) as expected. But, the login screen does NOT come after 24 hours (when re-login is required), unless I will reboot the iPad (using the 2 buttons), or I will reset the network settings (which again does a reboot). Switching on-off the WiFi, or any other remedy does NOT work.
    The problem is not related to the network or the particular iPad or iPhone. All iPads and iPhones with iOS 5.2 or earlier work just fine. Only the ones with iOS 6 have this issue.
    I would appreciate any creative idea to resolve the issue. Thank you.

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Win 7/Z580: Black screen on boot up, before login screen?

    Win 7/Z580: Black screen on boot up, before login screen?
    =======================================
    I find some interesting posting in this forum. Thanks for keeping this forum to help windows/Lenovo community. I like to pick up the brain of this forum to resolve the black screen issue. I am not sure, whether it caused by virus. I use Microsoft Security Essentials. I am not able to run this in command prompt.
    I started my laptop this morning & login screen showed up. Once I entered my login credentials, I heard the sound that usually plays once a login is successful, but I ended up with a black screen. After this occurred, I had to hold down the power button to manually shut down the computer. Once I started it up again, I was prompted to do a system repair, which eventually ended up with all successful outcomes, but I now have a black screen with a cursor before the login screen now. I have no idea what caused this to happen. My laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad Model Z580 (500 GB HD, 6GB RAM).
    I am not able to get into safe mode or any other mode, which all leads to a black screen described above. I am able to use the "Repair Your computer" tools after pressing F8 during booting only . All other options leads to Black screen with cursor in the middle
    Last Known Good Configuration leads to same
    Enable Low Resolution Video (640x480) leads to same My Z580 is not responding to CTRL+ALT+DEL Windows Logo keys as well.
    **** I tried SAFE Mode. It loaded couple of drivers and paused at CLASSPNP.SYS load. It went to Black screen with cursor at center.
    I am able to invoke control pannel from Command prompt of working PC by typing control.
    Z580 PC is not responding to control from command prompt (under Repair Your computer)  either.
    Z580 is able to use the "Repair Your computer" tools after pressing F8 during booting .
    Under local user login it provided Start Repair option. As I pick this option, I got the following. Problem signature

    Under Admin user login, it provided system recovery options. It is not picking up the recovery point created a while ago.
    Windows Memory Diagnostics is not launching and shows a black screen without cursor.
    I am able to get into command prompt. I tried the following there.
    I am not able to run cmd as admin
    I reviewed the past posting of this forum on this subject.

    I did not any find ERRORS there, SFC ended with message saying "found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them" . It is misleading. There is no [SR] tag pointing to corrupt files. Does SFC through false positive like this?

  • Login screen comes up repeatedly, booting into safe mode by default

    Good Morning,
    I have an iMac (Lion 10.8) that is having a lot of trouble.  I manage an Elementary School's IT fleet.  At the end of last year, the computer was booting into Safe Mode by default.  Once the system came up, the teacher could use it - but it took so long to boot that she chose not to.  The teacher left the school, and I was planning to just format it and reimage.  Here is what I have happening. 
    Boots into safe mode on it's own
    Once it's done booting, the login screen shows up - but entering any credentials just gets a grey screen, and the login screen comes right back.  Even root.  Which means I can't get logged into the computer at all. 
    Recovery mode will not allow me to erase the drive, says failed and not able to access the drive. 
    Target mode will also not allow me to erase the drive, nor will it allow me to push over an image.  Scanning the drive failed, busy. 
    Disk repair says unable to repair disk - please format. 
    These are the things I have tried. 
    Reset PRAM (three times over the course of troubleshooting)
    Replaced the RAM completely
    Unplugged 15 seconds trick
    Accessing via Target mode - Drive is greyed out, but shows up
    Ran FSCK manually, and it completed
    Tried to do a netinstall, but the disk does not show up in netboot as an option. 
    I thought maybe the drive was bad, but considering that it will boot into safe mode eventually (although you can't login), and FSCK completed successfully -  I'm just not sure!  I just thought I'd pick your brains.  I'm usually a Windows \ Linux Administrator, so this Apple business is new to me   I'm learning!  Although I find them frustrating.  Any help would be greatly appreciated! 
    Thank you

    I thought maybe the drive was bad, but considering that it will boot into safe mode eventually (although you can't login),
    Some part of the disk may be bad while others are good.  i/o could be trying multiple times and eventually succeeding.
    Ran FSCK manually, and it completed
    You run FSCK in single user mode?  This is very surprising.  FSCK verifies the filesystem is in order.  Actual data blocks could be bad. Would be a surprise if no file system blocks were not also bad.
    Except for this fact, it seems like a hd problem.  Intermediate problem.  Heat problem, etc.
    Time to try a different hd.  See if that works.  Could be some other hardware problem.  Try external drive/flash drive, etc.
    Mac OS X is BSD Unix.

  • Login screen crashing

    After starting our solaris 10 machine, the login screen is flashing and eventually the console shows up. I have tried several suggestions from some forum posts and google searchs but none seemed to have fixed the problem.
    What steps should I take to fix this problem? The server runs on sparc and has a xvr-500 video card.
    It is possible someone in the past may have changed the configuration of xorg, gdm, and other things...so keep that in mind.
    EDIT: After a reboot the login screen will flash several times and then freeze completely. I am stumped.
