Login shows up twice?

I have noticed that for the last week or so, everytime I lift open the lid, my Powerbook wakes up from its sleep and asks me my password. I type it in and press enter, my screen goes blank, and then the login shows up again. The second time around it always works.
Now this doesn't only happen when I wake it from sleep. Today I was burning a DVD with Toast and my screen would go black like it usually does to save energy. Everytime I moved my finger on the trackpad to wake up the screen the following would happen: The screen wakes up, showing my desktop and open applications for the fraction of a second, then my screen goes black, and then comes back to life again.
This seems to happen right after waking my computer from sleep or the monitor from save mode. Why is this happening? Has anyone had this problem and is it known?
Thank you for any feedback, ideas, hunches that you may have.

Hello Troy,
Thanks for your answer. I don't want to de-activate the login after wake-up from sleep, its just that it would show up twice. Meanwhile I think I found the problem. I have Shapeshifter installed but not working, but it was still active and I believe this is what was causing the bug. I de-activated it, and since, the login window shows up like it should, once and when the password is entered and confirmed, the desktop shows up.
I hope this helps anyone else who has this problem.
Thanks again for your answer!

  • Voice Memos show up twice on iPhone in iTunes

    Hi. I recently had to reinstall Windows and therefore iTunes as well. iTunes wouldn't let me sync my music because the iPhone was being synced with another iTunes library on my PC (which I assume would be my old iTunes install). In order to get iTunes to allow me to sync again, I enabled and then disabled the manually manage songs option. Everything seems to be OK except for my Voice Memos.
    When I switched to manual management of my songs, my voice memos were then treated as regular song tracks. I added them back to my iPhone manually along with my music and videos. Then I turned back on syncing (unchecked manually manage box). When I synced, the Voice Memos playlist was created again and in the playlist were all my Voice Memos, except for 2. Those 2 ones that are not showing in the Voice Memos playlist are the only two files that show up inside the Voice Memos app. Also now all my Voice Memos (except those 2 I just mentioned) show up twice in my Music category on iTunes.
    Is there a way to make it so that the Voice Memos don't show up twice in iTunes, and to have all the Voice Memos be displayed in the Voice Memos app? I would rather the Voice Memos not show up in the Music app. I've already changed the Media Kind to "Voice Memo" and everything. No go...

    Well, after unchecking the Voice Memo genre on the Music tab at the top on my iPhone when connected to iTunes, the Music category (on the left under my iPhone device) stopped showing the Voice Memos twice. They all show up once. The only problem is that now I can't access any of the Voice Memos on my iPhone! They're still on the device though since I can still play them by double-clicking on them in iTunes. Btw, the two recordings that previously showed up in the Voice Memo app are now gone as well...
    If I recheck the Voice Memo genre so that it syncs with the rest of my music, the voice memos get copied onto my iPhone twice, eating up a lot of space! I think my Voice Memos are indeed syncing twice on my iPhone because the Other section is 5.24GB and the files on my PC are 2.62GB, exactly twice the amount of the memos on my PC.......

    that is odd! that should not be happening.
    Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

  • I have two Yahoo accounts and all of my emails in my inbox show up twice!

    I have two Yahoo email addresses, one being primary & one secondary (in Yahoo). When I add them both to my iPhone 4, each email shows up twice in my inbox when I'm looking at the "all inboxes".
    Also, when I go to reply to an email, the "from" is the email address I set as my default, regardless of which email address it was sent to. Is there a way to change that?

    I have uploaded the InDesign file so that you can take a closer look at:
    http://www.hsdesign.comuf.com/downloads/
    The file is called "Template_File.indd"
    So, as discussed the main issues are:
    1) The TOC doesn't generate all the listings (only those with the applied paragraph style "Heading 1 - Appendix")
    2) When I try to create a new pargraph style and apply it to existing or new text, it reads the pargraph style in the Paragraph Style menu, but the style doesn't actually apply.
    Hopefully you can figure something out from this. I really appreciate your help.
    Thanks!

  • What if a person no longer has access to the house in which the card itself, but iTunes recognizes my login, shows my balance, won't let me get past the "code" page?

    What if a person no longer has access to the card itself, but iTunes recognizes my login, shows my balance, won't let me get past the "code" page?

    What pops up is the page that tells me I can use my camera to take a photo - since I don't have access to the card, useless.  I am caught going round in this loop - there's that one button, no other option.  Thanks in advance. 

  • Document types show up twice when creating a new blank HTML document.

    I followed the below instructions for getting HTML 5 as a document type option  on CS4. Although I do have HTML 5 as an option now, my other stock CS4 document type options now show up twice in the menu. Any idea how to fix this?
    To add the HTML document type, however, you need to modify the file named MMDocumentTypeDeclarations.xml. Here’s how to do that:
    1. Find the configuration folder then navigate to the documenttypes folder. The Configuration folder can be found under the folder where you installed Dreamweaver.
    2. Find and make a backup copy of MMDocumentTypeDeclarations.xml (MMDocumentTypeDeclarations.xml.bak)
    3. Open MMDocumentTypeDeclarations.xml in your favorite text editor. If anything goes wrong, you can always get back to the default state by replacing your changes with the backup copy.
    4. Go to the end of the document and find the </documenttypedeclarations> tag and add the following lines just before the </documenttypedeclarations> tag:
    <documenttypedeclaration id="mm_html_5">
    <title>
    HTML5
    </title>
    <doctypedecl>
    <![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE HTML>]]>
    </doctypedecl>
    <rootelement>
    <![CDATA[<html></html>]]>
    </rootelement>
    <dtdcontext>html</dtdcontext>
    <dtdcontext>html5</dtdcontext>
    <dtdcontext>frameset_frame</dtdcontext>
    <dtdcontext>xslt</dtdcontext>
    </documenttypedeclaration>
    5. Save the document
    6. Restart Dreamweaver
    You should now have an HTML5 document type option when you create a new document.
    There was an issue with Dreamweaver CS4 that needed to be fixed in code to fully support HTML5 documents which is why upgrading to CS5 was recommended. In CS4, Dreamweaver’s definition of a well formed HTML document has a meta content type which isn’t required for HTML5 documents so, no matter what we do to CS4, any HTML document created by CS4 will have the following:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    Replace that line with this:
    <meta charset=utf-8">
    You’ll need to do this every time you create a new HTML5 document.
    Once you finish go to Preferences New Document and select HTML5 as default Doc Type...
    Thanks to:
    What I did was create a snippit of the meta and added it to my snippit's meta folder

    Hi,

  • Email from *one sender* shows up twice (but isn't delivered twice)

    Today the emails from one particular sender started showing up twice in the view pane of Mac Mail. They aren't delivered twice - just show up as though two copies have come in. If I delete one copy then both disappear.
    There is nothing special about this particular sender - she is not a "VIP". We have been corresponding for several weeks without anything odd happening.
    I'm running 10.9.5 on my MBP and use POP accounts in Mail. The account to which she is using to contact me is via my personally-owned domain. I receive hundreds of emails on a daily basis to that email address and have no issues with other senders. She is using her personally-owned domain for email as well.
    Any ideas on what is happening?
    For what it's worth, since upgrading to this OS Google Chrome - particularly when using Facebook or performing Google searches - has slowed dramatically. I'll address that in a separate post but thought it was worth mentioning here in case it's related.

    See my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers. Certain combinations of data can cause iPods to display multiple albums even when iTunes doesn't.
    Alternatively there may have been a syncing issue which left orhpaned entries in the iPods database. Try swiping across the album and deleting both copies, then resyncing.

  • Computers Showing up twice in the network list even with Smb disabled?

    I've just purchased an Airport Express and figured it was time to get the network into shape.
    I've got 4 macs (MBP, MB, iMac, and PB) and one Windows box. In the sharing list, 2 of the macs show up only once, and 2 of them show up twice. I think I've sourced this to their names. Two of the computers, Peaches and Footlong have names shot enough that their sharing names match the name WINS gives them, the other 2 computers have names that are longer, Living Room iMac is an example. This appears to be an invalid WINS name so it then shows up again as Living Room iMac with a nice imac symbol, then also as MACINTOSH with a windows box icon.
    If anybody knows how to get rid of this so I will only see the computers as macs and so there aren't these other non existent computers on the network, that would be great!
    Also, I've tried to set up permissions on one computer that I don't have a user account on. When I try to connect using the ID i set up in its sharing preference pane, it says it's invalid, any ideas?

    I think you have answered your own question. I had the same problem and when I shortened the computer's name the problem was solved.

    I put office for MAC on my macbook air--it somehow shows up twice and documents load out there depending on which one you pick. I need to get all of the office installiations off and reinstall but it appears to leave one out there. When I go to applications I cannot see it but I can see it on the icon line on the bottom of the screen. How can I reinstall Office for Mac so there is only one installation on my computer ?

    Unfortunately the information given to you by r8er is incorrect, deleting the Office folder from Applications only partially uninstalls Office.
    Here are the correct uninstallation instructions for you.

  • Why are albums showing up twice as partial albums?

    I have noticed that some albums, when transferred to the iPod, show up twice, but with a couple of songs in one entry and the rest of the songs in the other entry.  I've checked all the metadata, and everything matches.  I've removed the album from the iPod and reloaded it, and the same thing happened.  Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    See Grouping tracks into albums. For a classic either every track from the same album needs the same Artist or the album must be marked as a Part of compilation and compilations must be enabled within the classic's menus. There also needs to be absolute consistency with spelling & capitalization in both primary and sort fields.
