Mac OS X keeps logging me out after startup!!

Hello!
I need help! I shutdown my computer last night and when I tried to login again this morning, it keeps logging me out
after I signed in.
After successful authentication, I can see the desktop for 1 second and then .. it signed off automatically and return to the authentication window.
I tried safe mode, file repairs...
I created myself another admin account in single-mode (remove the .AppleSetupDone file in /db and I'm able to use that admin account
to log without any issues!
a) How can I check my original admin account for errors?
b) Where can I see the startup error log for that account?
c) How can I disable all startup items for that account?
d) or .. any thoughts?
Thank you in advance!

Launch the Console utility and look for messages that might explain the problem.

  • Skype keeps logging me out after windows 10 update

    Ever since I updated to Windows 10 a few days ago, skype keeps logging me out after 10 min or so.  I read other posts all which suggested unlinking your account from your microsoft and/or Facebook account, which I tried but it didnt help.  I am not linked to either of them.  I am using the desktop version of Skype, not the windows app.  I never had any problems before this windos 10 upgrade.  Any ideas?  

    http://heartbeat.skype.com/2014/09/i_keep_getting_signed_out.html
    Open your Skype account settings page:
    https://secure.skype.com/portal/account/settings
    If your Skype account is linked with Microsoft account, then try to unlink them.

  • Macbook pro keeps logging me out after using migration assistant

    Hello All,
    I have a Macbook pro (bought it two years ago). It used to shut down automatically. Took it to Apple after backing up using time machine. They installed a fresh OS on it and took everything else out. I made a dummy account and no more shut downs happend so I migrated my old account over using MA. Now all my accounts are there but as soon as I log in, it logs me out !!! no error message.
    Help would be appreciated.

    i have a macbook pro and just recently after a shutdown, it now keeps logging me out right after i sign into my mac. I tried disk repair, file permissions repair and safe mode and none fixed/ nor safe mode got me inside my mac.
    I want to save some files I have on there but can't because I cannot log in.
    How were you able to run a disk repair? Did you do that from an install disc?
    Can you boot into "single-user" mode? If so there are some commands you can run that will allow you to look into logs files, where you might find the reason for your problem.

  • My mac mini keeps logging me out after no activity.

    the option to check/uncheck, "log out after X mins of no activity" is not an option to select.
    when it forces a logout, the screen saver is showing, not moving, and when you move the cursor, it acts like an eraser and removes the part of the screen savor picture revealing the login screen underneath. of course this starts happening when my warranty period is over.
    can anyone help? i've looked all over the net for this issue.
    thanks.

    I had already done that for the screen saver a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, since I'm new to mac I can't do a screen shot, but several users had recommended going to Apple > System Preferences > Security & Privicy > General and uncheck the box " Logout after [______] minutes of inactivity." There was a screen shot in one conversation I had and it showed 5 options under this specific tab, including the auto logout option. My mac only has 4 options and does not include the logout option in this area. So I started looking around under every single app under System Preferences and when I opened Security & Privacy, on the bottom right corner is a button for Advanced. I opened that and the option for Auto logout is there. I unchecked it. So we'll see if this solves the issue.
    Thanks for all the input. I appreciate it.

  • Keeps Logging Me Out After Going to Sleep

    For some reason, my iMac logs me out a few hours after the machine's monitor turns off.  This has happened, I think, almost as long as I've owned this computer, which is about 2 years now.  It's the only one of my Macs that does this to me. 
    I'm running OS X 10.9.3
    Computer Sleep is set to never
    Display Sleep is set to 1 hour
    It's quite annoying since this means that my Dropbox and other TSR's have to load.  Additioanlly, if I leave it to run a project for a few hours, I'll come back and discover a note telling me that I couldn't log out because X process was running.
    Any thoughts on what might be triggering this behavior?

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy
    If there's a closed padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane, click it and enter your login password when prompted.
    Click the Advanced button and, in the sheet that opens, uncheck the box marked
    Log out after … minutes of inactivity

  • OEM keeps logging me out

    I am using OEM DBConsole (database version 11.2) and it keeps logging me out after so many minutes of inactivity unless I happen to be in one of the performance monitoring screen that automatically refreshes every xx seconds.
    I've had the same issue with OEM Grid Control.
    Is there a setting someplace to turn this off so it doesn't continue to log me out?

    Well darn... now I have problems to get it started again.
    I made copies of the file(s) before making changes, and even copied back the original files.
    But when I attempt to start the dbconsole, it says "Failed" and I cannot connect to it using my browser.
    Something is obviously wrong.
    When I check the emctllog file, it shows

  • HT1338 My Macbook keeps logging me out and deleting my work

    My mac book pro keeps logging me out randomly and when i log back in every web page and word document i had open has gone.
    Iv lost lots of work and e-mails through this..... I have just changed the log out time settings to never....hopefully that works but is what my macbook was doing normal!!??
    Thanks

    Are there other users on your Mac? The reason I ask is that when you have to reenter your password if it has logged you out you'll see all of the user names....if the screen just went to sleep and required a password to wake then only your user name will show.
    Are you sure that require password isn't checked in security?

  • Why does FB keep logging me out of my iPhone

    Why does FB keep logging me out after a few seconds on my iphone6?

    Hi beachgirl27,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you mean that the Facebook app itself is crashing or closing shortly after selecting it, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
    iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open

  • My Mac keeps logging me out of my account

    It started this morning immediately after I turned on my Mac Pro. I have 3 accounts on the MP, and I logged in to my usual account, after about one second, after the desktop loads etc, it logs me out automatically. This keeps happening. I am able to log into the other 2 accounts on the same Mac with no problem. Unfortunately, the bulk of my work is in the account that keeps logging me out automatically.
    I have reset my PRAM, fixed and repaired disk permissions etc. to no avail. Any suggestions?

    You probably have a login item or something set to load when you log in that's causing the issue.
    I'd try a safe boot. Power off, then on, when you hear the chime, hold the Shift key. Release it when you see the spinning gear. This boot takes longer than normal because it clears your font caches and runs a disk check. It'll take you to the login window. Log into your account. One of the advantages of a safe boot is that it disables login items, so if you can log in successfully with a safe boot, go into System Preferences > Accounts, select your account, select the Login Items tab on the right, and remove any login items. Reboot (normally this time) and make sure all's well.
    You can also look in Console to see what is crashing, that will helpfully allow you to narrow it down to a specific app or process.

  • ICloud on PC logging me out after a few seconds!?

    For the last few weeks, iCloud on my PC keeps logging me out by "force", suddenly, only after a few seconds of being logged in.  This happens only when I access iCloud from my PC and not with my MacBook Pro.  Any ideas???

    I just came across something which may help in Windows 7:
    --Control Panel
    --Sound
    --Communications
    --set this to "Do Nothing"
    I have been having this problem and have tried what anbudmor suggested. I have a 4 person call in two days. It might take a season before I know if this is the answer, since the problem is only now and again. I have also diabled the auto volume setting on skype as part of the answer.

  • With new WiFi router, iChat keeps logging me out. why??

    Two days since I plugged in new Verizon WiFi router and the iChat application keeps logging me out whenever computer is in idle mode.  I have to go to Preferences and change Port to 443 SSL and when that stops working, change back to 5190.   Any way to set this so I don't have to manually change the setting several times a day?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Can you tell me what you mean by Application Sleep ?
    I have an iMac myself and tend to be using the computer for about 3 hours of an evening then I shut it down.
    During that time any app I have open is in full use mode even if it is not the "front" app.
    An AIM Login has been able to use an SSL Login since iChat 4.
    It has been the Default  option in use.
    However it does have issues if there are micro breaks in the Internet service you are getting.
    This means that iChat or Messages gets Logged out but  the app will not log back in again Automatically.
    Not using SSL has a better record of Logging back in on disconnection.
    The Dropping completely under SSL can only be solved by Unticking "Use this Account" and then Selecting it again to Login afresh.
    It should make no difference if the Buddy list(s) are set to Away as you are still logged in continuously in that state.
    As SSL is supposed to be more secure it needs the definite manual intervention so that it is known that "you" wanted to Login.
    Although micro breaks can happen when using Ethernet they are less common.
    We are mainly talking about WiFi drops that effects constantly connected app like iChat and Messages that can then spot the smallest of "no internet" time that the Mac may not even register with the Menu Bar icon for Wifi and is not noticed in Apps like a Web Browser that then take a few moments longer to show a Page or the Mail app taking just a bit longer to fetch mail as these apps are in fact now the then users of the Internet connection.
    I would try an check if the WiFi signal appears to vary around your house.
    Use the Drop down from the WiFi icon in the Menu Bar to see the Bars  for your device.
    It could be interference from other close by routers.
    All routers can use several Channels (minor divisions in the radio band they use).
    Most come factory set on a middle number of the range that can be applied.
    It may pay to use a number closer to the end of the range (top or bottom)
    iStumbler can be used for closer details including the channel info for close by routers.
    It's last update was for Snow Leopard which means it should work on Intels.
    You may need to go to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > General tab and set the Application Download options to "Anywhere" as it is not on the App Store.

  • Safari 5.1 keeps logging me out of all the websites im signed up to

    Safari keeps logging me out of, youtube, twitter, facebook even sites like raptr and gamersgate. Maybe 1-3 times a day with no warning the pages refresh and i have to log in again. Any help is appreciated.
        Thanks in advance! 

    Go to Safari / Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click Details.
    Delete all the web addresses for all the sites you have problems with.
    Then go to the Safari menu bar, click Safari / Empty Cache.
    Restart your Mac. Try one of the sites.
    If that didn't help, the keychains for those sites may be corrupted.
    Quit Safari. Open Keychain Access   /Applications/Utilites
    Select Passwords on the left.
    Delete the Safari Forms Autofill keychain as well as all keychains for the sites you mentioned.
    From the menu bar click Keychain Access / Keychain First Aid. Click Verify. If necessary, click Repair.
    Relaunch Safari. Login to Facebook with your user name and password. You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain. Click Yes when prompted. See if that helped.
