Login screen stays not matter what I try

So basically I've been having poblems with my macbook pro. Recently one of my fans gave out and I've been running low on disk space (57 gb left). I've been watching the fan with fan control and it hasn't been overheating. I just wanted to finish out the semester before bringing in my computer because I can't not have it for a few weeks if it does have to get repaired. So today I bought an external hard drive and attempted to connect it to my computer and midway through the installation proccess my computer froze. I turned it off, which I now realize probably wasn't the greatest idea, and now when I try and login after turning my computer on I get redirected to the login screen no matter how many times I put in my password. It seems to accept my password, but returns me to the login screen anyway. I can login to guest account just fine, my personal account is giving me trouble. Is my computer destroyed? Is there any hope?

I tried all the above...
I deleted all the files from the windows/temp directory, still wont uninstall..
I ran the windows uninstaller installer (isn't that an oxymoron??, but this is a windows machine).. still wont uninstall...
There is no quicktime, apple or itunes directories in the program files directory...
I run advanced systems optimizer and cleaned my registry, no quicktime listed.
I ran hijack this, no quicktime listed...
HHHHHEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone have a laser I can borrow to surgically remove this pain in the .......
Thanks,
Don

  • Excel (Office 2010 64 bit) will not connect to Oracle DB not matter what I try

    Hello Everyone,
    I started a new role that requires me to interact with an Oracle DB using Excel.  Currently I have both the 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle clients installed on my Windows 7 PC. 
    Firstly I can TNSPing the database I need to connect to, I can also connect using SQLPlus to the desired database, I can even connect using TOAD.
    No matter what I try I cannot connect using Excel VBA (Office 2010 64 bit).
    The process below used to work for me in a different location, now the objDatabase always is returned "Empty"
    Set objSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
    Set objDataBase = objSession.OpenDatabase("database server", "user name/passsword", 0&)
    I am not even able to set up a simple ODBC connection working.  I get a error "ORA-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable."
    When using a ADODB connection I get this error. Run time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':
    [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and default driver specified.
    I have place the TNSNames file in both Oracle Home's
    I have even reinstalled Office 2010.

    Hi,
    The 12577 error (12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable) is related to Windows Environment or Oracle Home PATH because sqlplus command works smoothly when I execute it inside ORACLE_HOME\bin.
    There are two solutions to this issue:
    1. Put the Oracle DB Home in front of the other paths in the PATH environment variable.
    2. Remove ORACLE_HOME From environment Variable and re-boot PC

    If you have further question about the ADODB, I recommend you post the question to MSDN forum:

  • Can't fix fglrx/Xorg black screen issue, no matter what I try!

    I've tried everything that I can think of or find online to fix this. Please help.
    I'm getting what seems to be an oft-recurring issue where Xorg simply won't start when using the fglrx driver. It boots fine with VESA or Xfree86-ati, but using fglrx I just get a black screen that won't accept any input, although ssh'ing into the box while this is happening still works.
    I've been reading forum posts for *days* now trying to get this to work. I've tried every combination of 12.4/12.6 drivers, Xorg 1.11/1.12 and modeset/nomodeset kernel parameters. I definitely do not have any radeon or other DRI modules compiled into my kernel. I have an HD4200, SLiM/Xfce4, and I'm using the proper catalyst-hd234k package. The fglrx module has been compiled for my kernel and added to my initramfs, and it loads at boot. lsmod reveals its presence and does *not* show 'radeon'. I have uninstalled every video driver aside from fglrx and Xfree86-vesa. Output does not seem to be going to HDMI instead. Switching consoles/typing blindly does not work, and I need to hold the power button for 5 seconds to shutdown. I've run aticonfig --initial and tried aticonfig --acpi-services=off, too.
    I've tried *all* the different tweaks that I've found to try to make a working xorg.conf, but here's what I'm trying to use now:

    I'm sure you've tried reading https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57084
    and http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Configuring
    and I'm sure you've done
    aticonfig --initial
    I had to use https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AT … leshooting, specifically the part about disabling EXAPixmaps to make my card work.
    What model is your ATI card? that would help. A LOT of ATI cards were dropped from proprietary support with the Catalyst driver.

  • Cannot uninstall QT not matter what I try.

    Hi all,
    I was having video issues with my XP Pro SP2 machine and I tried to uninstall iTunes and QT, but QT will NOT uninstall. iTunes Uninstalled, but when try to uninstall QT, it searches the drives and goes back to the window where you click "uninstall"
    If I try to re-install I get a
    "Error: - 1603 Fatal error during installation. Consult Windows Installer help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information."
    I tried several fixes that suggested,
    Deleting the folder QT in the Programs folder (I did, didnt help)
    Run regedit and delete the QT registrys (I did, didnt help)
    and now I am stuck, not QT no iTunes, and now way to fix this.
    Anyone get past this ???
    Thanks in advance,
    Don

    I tried all the above...
    I deleted all the files from the windows/temp directory, still wont uninstall..
    I ran the windows uninstaller installer (isn't that an oxymoron??, but this is a windows machine).. still wont uninstall...
    There is no quicktime, apple or itunes directories in the program files directory...
    I run advanced systems optimizer and cleaned my registry, no quicktime listed.
    I ran hijack this, no quicktime listed...
    HHHHHEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Anyone have a laser I can borrow to surgically remove this pain in the .......
    Thanks,
    Don

  • I have just updated my iTunes to 11.1.3. I followed all correct steps, restarted my computer etc. But iTunes will now not open no matter what I try and do. Please help me!!!!!!!!

    I have just updated my iTunes to 11.1.3. I followed all correct steps, restarted my computer etc but now I cannot open iTunes not matter what I try and do.
    Very frustrating. Have read the trouble shooting info on Apple website but nothing has worked.
    Someone please help. I cannot access any of my music.

    Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.

  • My iMac has a Kernel Panic screen come up on start up and I can't get past it no matter what I try. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    My mac has a "Kernel Panic" screen come up on start up. No matter what I try I can't get past this to fix it. Any hints out there? Do I have to completely wipe my drive and re-install to fix this? I can't even back up my files before doing this as like I say I can't get past the Kernel Panic message.

    There are some fairly informative articles about kernel panics...
    •OS X: About kernel panics:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Note the toggle triangles to get more info in the above article, some are
    important steps, with alternative methods of accessing or performing a
    suggested activity and may vary with the OS X version in use.
    •Resolving Kernel Panics:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
    •Technical Note: TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics:
    https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2063/_index.html
    The above TN covers several technical aspects to identify & troubleshoot.
    Some are above the average user needs, but still can be rather helpful.
    Hopefully you can get past the kernel panic screen, there are several
    ways to attempt to do that, however if the issue is hardware, a reinstall
    of the OS X may not cure the underlying cause of the symptom.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I NEED DESPERATE HELP! ADWARE THAT DOES NOT GO AWAY NO MATTER WHAT I TRY

    So I was downloading something to my computer and, of course, I got stuck with that Only Search thing and no matter what I try it DOES NOT GO AWAY. I tried turning off my extensions, I tried switching networks, I tried resetting safari. Deleting my history. Every. Single. Thing.
    And nothing works.
    Pleas please PLEASE someone help me with getting rid of this I HATE having an adware.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • My login password is not working when i try to log in to my macbook air. what should I do?

    my login password is not working when i try to log in to my macbook air. what should I do?
    Thanks, Debora

    You can reset the password.
    How you do it though depends on the version of OS X you are running.
    On Lion or Mountain Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
    Boot to your Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
    Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.
    If you are using the Keychain, you will lose your existing one, and have to start a new one, unless  you remember the old password.

    I have a perfectly good wi-fi setup but it will not detect my Aiport Express no matter what aI try. Help!

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

  • HT3867 I am connected to the hotel wifi network, but the login screen does not appear.

    Hi,
    I am connected to my hotel wifi network, but the login screen does not appear. I am able to access the login page on my PC, but on the iPhone it does not appear and just tries to connect to the webpage (e.g. google.co.uk), and eventually gives up. I've tried opening pages in Safari and Chrome, but none cause the login screen to appear. I have also tried trying to log into the login page that the PC opens when connected to the wifi, but the same thing happens. I am using a iPhone 3G with the latest iOS version 6.0.1.
    Is there a way to make the iPhone try to open the login page?
    Ben.

    I have the exact same problem as the original poster and I tried many times already the solution proposed by trstark66 and it's still not working. It's not working for both my iPad and iPhone 5. I'm using the latest iOS version available all the time. I have my iPad since 3 years and my iPhone since 1 years and I always had that problem. I'm an airline pilot so I'm always in hotels. I asked my colleagues who also have iPhones and iPads and they all have the same problems from time to time. And when I go in an apple store they all say that it's the first time they hear about that problem. I never have that problem with my PCs, my previous phone and my BB playbook. Only with my iPhone and iPad....since now 3 years...Always the same problem. I'm connected to the Hotel Network, I have an IP address but nothing popup to register with a user name, password or just to access the "I have read and accept the condition.../connect". And when I go in Safari or other Browsers, I am not redirected to a login page. All I have is a message saying cannot access the webpage because I'm not connected to Internet. I tried already hard resets, on/off Wi-Fi, automatic connexion off, forget this network, reset network setting...
    My solution for now is to use my Boingo account. I connect to the hotel Network and then I use the Boingo app to connect to Internet.
    But, sometimes it works the first time or suddenly for no reason.
    Very funny, I was using Boingo on my ipad to write this message in my Hotel room because I was unable to use my free connection as usual. When I tried to press "Add Reply" it failed and I had the message "An error occured while trying to submit your post, please try again". The reason was that boingo was disconnected since I was taking too long to write this message. So I wasn't connected to Internet anymore. I opened a second tab in Safari and what did I see!... the login page to access the free connection from the hotel. This is crazy. Apple, you really suck with hotel/coffee hotspots... I tried for hours and nothing, now hours later I just open a new tab and it works. But tomorrow I know I will try the same and it will not work again. It shouldn't be that complicated.

    Hi Demo,
    Yes, I have not made myself clear, I apologise.
    I have tried downloading apps from itunes in order to set up a game for my son, when I go to click on a link, be this in itunes, or on the web, Safari revolts back informing the address is invalid. I read by coping a link and pasting into the URL, this would do it, but not so.
    My goal then, is to install Minecraft for my son, I would then download an app to allow this but I am unable to get this far due to Safari insulting the address I ask it to go to
