Login Window's Name & Password dimmed & freezed when trying to log in...

This problem keeps cropping up quite frequently, especially if I logged out of a OD account and immediately logging into another OD account: the name and password entered will dim and the Login Window will just freeze. There is no problem for local accounts and I still can SSH into this "frozen" computer and reboot the system. It occurs on all my Mac computers running Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11) whether it is PPC or x86.
Looking at that "frozen" computer log, a successful loggin in will include these lines in system.log:
Mar 18 21:13:49 MH-Production-DC1100 SecurityAgent[141]: Showing Login Window

A unsuccessful logging in will just list these lines:

Mar 18 21:20:14 MH-Production-DC1100 authorizationhost[243]: kerberos authentication for principal [email protected] succeeded.\n
I would not get this and the other following lines of authorizationhost:

Does anyone has a solution?

What is the server (model & specs) & what are the clients ?
Fast clients with a slow server can be one problem, due to how fast OS X boots.
See
Past that, since you can ssh into a frozen client machine, set this up in advance on a couple workstations.
On the client set AFP debugging via, for example:
sudo defaults write -g com.apple.AppleShareClientCore -dict-add afpdebugsyslog -int 1
sudo defaults write -g com.apple.AppleShareClientCore -dict-add afpdebuglevel -int 6
afpdebugsyslog = 1 (turns on debugging)
afpdebuglevel = <1-8>
Then, add the following line to /etc/syslogd.conf
*.debug /var/log/debug.log
Final two steps:
issue
sudo touch /var/log/debug.log
and
sudo killall -HUP syslogd
Then, try logging out and back in with a different usernameloginwindow, and check debug.log
and system.log on that client machine.

Upgraded to 10.5 on windows 7. now itunes freezes when trying to download old apps. any solutions?

10.5 upgrade erased apps & books from ipad. itunes freezes when trying to download from windows 7 computer. Any suggestions?

I am using Window Vista 32bit and have the same problem. After trying uninstall, reinstall, ccclean registry, over and over again and still cannot install itune 10.5. And finally concluded that this might be a registry corruption problem. The following steps is what I did to fix the registry isssue and get my itune 10.5 installed.
- Run Window update - and check the history file, if you see some failures in previous updates, there is something wrong with the registry.
- un-install all the apple related software (itune, safari, boujour, apple update, etc).
- For Vista 32bit, go to the following link and run the script to clean up the registry. I am not sure if other WIndow OS will work or not.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error-8000FFFF
- run the Fix-it script. you have to select the Agressive mode (even thou the pop up window advise not to do this) in order to clean up the registry. When I try without checking the box, and it did not fix the problem.
- reboot PC
- Run window update. It will discover a lot of old updates that need to be installed (I suspect that the fix it script delete a lot of stuff in the registry and removed previous updates). I got 53 updates that need to install.
- run the update and wait for a longtime (mine took ~2 hours).
- reboot PC
- run cccleaner
- reboot PC
- install itune 10.5
Now it works. Hopefully other window OS has similar step to fix this. I can only say it works for me using window Vista 32bit. and so far, my PC works correctly.

Itunes is freezing when trying to log in

When I go log in to my account to the itunes store, it freezes. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how can i fix it?

I have a 2G iPod touch and just last week I downloaded iTunes version 8.0.2, and now itunes freezes. I just tried opening it, and it was frozen. I thought it was just doing it when I connected my iPod the USB. Is this the problem you're having? Has anyone figured out what's going on? I'm totally not computer savvy, so any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Why if my iCloud info is the same as my iTunes login and password does it say the account name or password is incorrect when trying to log in

Why if my icloud info is the same as my itunes login and password does it say the account name or password is incorrect

My mac freezes when trying to log in to my personal user

It started when I was surfing and it freezed all of a sudde and when I rebooted I couldn't log into my personal user account nor guest for that matter. I've tried several things ever since but nothing has ben working. I've had my macbook pro for about 1,5 year and installed yosemite voluntarely when it just got out without any difficulties. This is the first time I'm having trouble with my mac.

Hello user526627 and all,
I also have installed apex 2.2 successfully. At least I've not found any errors and this is the tail of install.log:

Interesting thing is that I am getting 404 when I use suggested http://host:port/pls/apex/apex_admin or http://host:port/pls/apex (I am using host name of the machine or ip address). However the http://host:port/pls/htmldb/ and http://host:port/pls/htmldb/apex_admin works (at least, I am getting a page without images). In addition, when I provide user name and password on the http://host:port/pls/htmldb/apex_admin page and click on 'Login' nothing happens... :(
This is a clean install. I've also used a HTMLDB 2.0 install from companion cd (Oracle10g R2 for Windows) - this had worked ok, however it did stop working when I istalled apex 2.2 on top of it. I've dropped flow-schemas and tablespaces I've created for apex 2.2 install and started the install over again. However, still no luck. Here is the command I am using to start apex 2.2 installation:
@apexins ********** htmldb_data htmldb_files htmldb_temp /i/ none
I have installed oracle http server in a standalone home, the http server works.
Thank you for your time,
Daniel

Skype keeps freezing when trying to log in with Mi...

I always skyped with a good friend of mine, but his laptop had a hardware issue which got fixed recently, so today we tried skyping again but it doesn't work for him anymore. When he opens skype, he clicks on the login with a microsoft account and then Skype just keeps loading and then freezes, he isn't able to log in at all.
We tried uninstalling the skype and downloading the newest skype and installing that a few times, but the same problem keeps coming up.
We tried deleting the shared.xml file in appdata, but after that Skype is nowhere to be found on the computer and when he installs skype again the file is back.
He has windows 8.1, the newest skype and he uses AVG antivirus, it has always worked like that before. I hope someone can help us out.

Try to reset all Internet Explorer settings:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
Next reset LAN settings:
Open Internet Explorer. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings. Make sure that the only option selected is “Automatically detect settings”.
Next clear all Temporary Internet Files:
Open Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> General. In the section “Browsing history” press the “Settings” button and in the next window the “View files” button. Delete all files from the Temporary Internet Files folder.
Reboot the computer and then try to start Skype.

Password not accepted when trying to log off another user

Sometimes I want to shut down while another user is logged in and it asks for admin password. I type in correct password and it says it is invald. Password works the rest of the time. Any suggestions?

found this on the internet. I'm going to try it now.
This might make more sense then the Apple Support Document.
Insert Your Leopard DVD.
Shutdown and restart holding down C
pick your language
from the menu go to Utilities
Pick reset Password
Pick your hard drive (mines Macintosh HD)
From the users list select system Administrator
Enter a password and renter it and select reset
Quit password reset
Then quit OS x installer
Click the restart button
When your system restarts go to system preferences
Accounts and click the unlock button (the padlock in the bottom left hand corner)
It will ask for user name and password
For user name use the name Roots and the password you entered in the password reset.
This should unlock all the greyed out menus.
Check the Allow changes box to give you back Admin status.
Restart your computer.
This worked for me without another install. Hope it helps.

Freezing When Trying to Log

Hello, I'm editing a music video in FCP6, and for some reason whenever I go to log a clip and connect my camera via FireWire, it freezes the whole FC application, and the spinning wheel comes up. When I disconnect my camera, everything goes back to running fine. I downloaded the newest update but it still does the same thing.

Did you connect and poser the camera before booting up or launching FCP? If not, give that a try.
FWIW, even though Firewire is hyped as being "hot-swappable," is is very possible to fry a Firewire port or circuit by plugging in devices while either are powered on. It's best to power down both your Mac and the Firewire device before plugging in the cable.

MacBook Air (mid-2011) updated to EFI 2.9.1 - now password/trackpad doesn't work properly when trying to log in from sleep.

Hi, hopefully someone can help me with an issue I've had with my mid-2011 MacBook air.
It was running fine until I installed the 2.9.1 EFI update from the app store; I believe this fixes problems caused with the 2.9 update however since installing it I've now got a problem when trying to log in. This is what happens:
I close the lid or put it to sleep.
I open the lid and the login screen appears.
The trackpad is non-responsive and I am unable to enter my password as the keyboard is unresponsive.
I then set the machine to sleep, wait a few minutes and wake it up again - still unresponsive.
The only thing that works is to hold the power key down to shut it down and start it up afresh. This time I am able to move the cursor and enter my password.
Its was perfectly fine prior to the 2.9.1 update (and I've not installed anything else in the meantime) but since the 2.9.1 update the above login problem has happened.
This is my Macbook Air's system (10.9.4) info if its of any help to anyone:
     Model Name:    MacBook Air
     Model Identifier:    MacBookAir4,1
     Processor Name:    Intel Core i5
     Processor Speed:    1.6 GHz
     Number of Processors:    1
     Total Number of Cores:    2
     L2 Cache (per Core):    256 KB
     L3 Cache:    3 MB
     Memory:    4 GB
     Boot ROM Version:    MBA41.0077.B11
     SMC Version (system):    1.74f4
Anyone else had similar problems?

Hi Roj,
Since the update, I have a different problem (when the laptop is in sleeping mode, screen turned down, fan runs after a certain...)... Did not have time to contact support yet.
One member suggested me to visit: https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.
Hope it can help...

Lightroom 2.6 freezes when trying to export images

I have been using LR successfully on a Windows XP machine for several years and using version 2.6 for the past several weeks . As of a few days ago, LR would freeze when trying to export images. The export functions of 'Export with Previous' and 'Export with Preset' seem to work without crashing LR but most of my exporting needs me the ability to adjust the export settings. Any advise?

I would guess LR only goes by drive-letter so if you've kept that the same it should be ok. Look for something else.
I would look in your Lightroom Preferences files to see if there is any drive letter that no longer exists.
On Vista/Win7 my LR prefs file is in:
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences
XP has something similar under C:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings (or Application Data)
If you open that file in a simple text-editor like NotePad then about halfway down (at least in mine) there are some export-related things that include the drive-letter and path on your hard-drive to various folders. You can find it by searching for:
AgMRUPopupList_AgExport_destinationFolderPathPrefix
Look through those and see if any of the drive-letters or paths are wrong and look around for other paths. The paths will contain
or
instead of \ because the low-level language routines LR is written with need it that way so if you change anything, keep the number of slashes consistent.
It could very well be that there is nothing wrong with any of the paths, so another approach would be to rename or move your preferences file to see if LR will recreate it with defaults for everything, and see if that clears up the lockups.
Whether you decided to edit or rename your preferences file, please make a backup copy so you can put it back in case something even worse happens and you need it back.

Remote Desktop Crashes When trying to log-in after changing password on the remote computer

Hi.
I use cisco VPN to connect to my work computer.
I can use RDC to connect to any computer on home network without issue.
Yesterday I changed to password on my work computer and now every time I try to log from my home computer RDC crashes.
I've disabled printing/clipboard on local devices and resourses, and I've deleted all the RDC cache files on the computer but I continue to have the same issues.

Hi hg,
I didn’t found relevant settings in remote desktop connection manager, I checked the “Use multiple monitors when necessary” under tools->options, but seems like it is used for span a full screen over multiple monitors. For now I’d suggest figuring out
why your remote session keeps crushing.
I suspect the crash is not related to password changing, similar cases normally occurs after some local device driver, please try to disable the local printer in Remote desktop connection local resources first.

D. Wu

When trying to log on to my personal hotspot on my Ipone, after entering the password the system continues to ask for the password over and over again. How do I fix this?

When trying to log on to my personal hotspot on my Ipone, after entering the password the system continues to ask for the password over and over again. How do I fix this?

Hi SheilaStuhr,
The troubleshooting steps detailed below can help get you connected to your iPhone's personal hostpot.
Basic troubleshooting
See if your iOS device, computer, and wireless plan all meet the system requirements for Personal Hotspot.
Make sure Personal Hotspot is on: Tap Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Check the Internet connection on your iOS device: Tap Safari and load a new webpage.
If one connection type doesn't work, try another. For example, instead of connecting using Wi-Fi, use USB or Bluetooth.
Turn Personal Hotspot off and on: Tap Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Install the latest version of iOS.
Reset your network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If you still see the issue, restore the iPhone.
If you're still experiencing issues, try the steps below.
Wi-Fi troubleshooting
If you encounter an issue using Personal Hotspot with other Wi-Fi devices, try these steps:
Turn Personal Hotspot off.
Turn on Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
Turn on Personal Hotspot.
If another device can't join your Wi-Fi network, make sure the Wi-Fi password is correct.
If the device can't see your Wi-Fi network, check your device name. Windows may not correctly show a device name that uses non-ASCII characters.
See how many devices are using your Personal Hotspot. Depending on your wireless carrier, the number of Wi-Fi connections may be limited to three devices at once.
If the other device still can't connect, turn Wi-Fi off and on for the device.
Make sure that your device can see other Wi-Fi networks.
Note: If you see "Unable to Join" or a timeout error when you try to connect a device using Wi-Fi, remain on the Personal Hotspot screen until the first device connects. After the device connects, you can leave the Personal Hotspot screen and use your iPhone normally. Your device will stop broadcasting Wi-Fi if you put it to sleep or if 90 seconds elapse and no connected devices use Wi-Fi. To share your Wi-Fi network again, tap Settings > Personal Hotspot.

Any ideas why InCopy would freeze when trying to copy content?

Any ideas why InCopy would freeze when trying to copy content? This is occurring on a corporate computer running Windows. We've uninstalled and reinstalled InCopy and are still runnng into the same problem.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am also having the same issue when Syncing my 5th gen Nano. I can sync my iPhone, iPad and my sons iPod Touch but not my Nano. When I click to sync I just get the rainbow wheel.

Firefox freezes when trying to upload or download a file. (Antivirus all disabled doesn't help). IE works fine. Happened with v3 and v4. Any clues?

Firefox locks when trying to upload or download any file, size irrelevant.
I've disabled firewall and all antivirus apps to no effect.
This happens with v3 and v4.
IE works fine.

'''Addendum:''' The freeze is also happening at random even without opening Firefox, it has a chance of happening when I click something. My computer has frozen when I: 1- clicked the "reveal desktop" button to minimize all windows; 2- Attempted to close a tab in Chrome; 3- Clicked "play" in a Youtube video that had been loaded and waiting for some time). It will also almost always freeze when I leave it idle for more than about 10 minutes.
But it will '''guaranteedly''' freeze when trying to open FF, which doesn't happen with any other program.
I think my computer is breaking down. :(
