Macbook air locked out when password changed. is this normal???

My friend had a macbook air running os x lion. When he changed his password ( while we were air dropping a file ) He decided to lock the mac to see if the password change worked. When he typed in the password the mac would not let him in. He had also put a hint on and there was no hint. He had to restart his mac so that he could login.
So my question is....
Is this normal to have this happen because i have a macbook pro and it dose not do that
Thanks everyone
Matt

I can see it, and I know what you mean.
It is normal, for the reason that Retired Engineer gave in his post. Don't be surprised if after a couple of cycles, the capacity rises to 100%, or near to it. It will go up and down, but slightly more down after a dozen cycles or so. It is completely normal to vary like this.

  • AD account getting locked out after password change in Jabber

    When user changes his network credentials and does not update them in Jabber. Jabber will still try to connect to phone services and voicemail with the old credentials which is leading to their account getting locked in AD after three attempts.
    We are using Jabber 9.6.1, so a fairly new version.
    Can some suggest if there is a workaround?

    Hi,
    We are seeing a similar issue after the user has changed their AD password the account repeatedly gets locked out when they try to log into Jabber. 
    We are also using Cisco IM&P and our CUCM is LDAP synced
    I am interested to know why you are asking if LDAP authentication is configured?

  • I changed the password to one of my gmail accounts. My MacBook Air accepts the new password and shows me email, my iPhone 5s tells me it's not a valid password. In settings, I change the password and pw is accepted. How can I get 5s to accept new pw?

    CORRECTION! GMAIL accepts new pw and shows me email. Mail on MacBook Air and iPhone 5s do not accept new gmail pw. What can I do to get my apple products to accept my new gmail pw?

    I realised that you just need to go to System Preferences > Sound > Input > and uncheck 'Use ambient noise reduction'. mmm answered my own question.

    I just upgraded to a new MacBook and my wife is inheriting my old MacBook Air. How can I change the her MacBook Air to now be fundamentally hers? That is, so the House Icon under Users folder is her name and not mine? Also the default AppleID for purchase stubbernly remains my own.

    You do not mention it, but I will assume you are running OS 10.9.1.
    Go to: Apple menu / System Preferences / Users & Groups. Click the padlock and enter your password.
    Click the + (plus sign) and set up a new account for your wife. You have to enter a bunch of info. And then create the correct Login Options. Automatic login does not require a password from the selected user.
    When that is done, verify the account works by restarting the computer and login as your wife.
    Make sure that any applications in your own Users folder that will be needed are moved to the Applications folder in your wife's Users folder.
    Now go back to Users and Groups, click the padlock and authenticate, select your own account, and hit the - (minus sign). This step cannot be reversed, so you might want to wait a few days before doing it.
    When your wife is logged in, the App Store will know.

  • The screen on my macbook has malfunction. When I change the brightness to zero and return to the first level of brightness it works briefly but then the screen starts to flicker brightness and quickly extinguished.

    The screen on my macbook has malfunction. When I change the brightness to zero and return to the first level of brightness it works briefly but then the screen starts to flicker brightness and quickly extinguished. It seems to be a bad contact, it would not be normal for a quality product that should have, he has less than two years of use. Not because of the bad use or crash. Someone with the same problem or can help me? It's really a contact problem? I've done all the procedures recommended by the online support. Thanks.

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

  • Macbook air lock

    has anyone used the silicon cover and lock?, Macbook air lock: has anyone used the silicon cover and lock?
    http://www.maclocks.com/index.php/macbook-air-lock.html

    I was trying to figure out how the macbracket actually worked, and this youtube video explains it better.  However it does seem fiddly and would take a bit of practice to get used to it.  
    An alternative solution which is simpler but not as aesthetically pleasing is this macbook air combination lock.
    Then of course there are the USB audio alarms, but they won't physically stop someone from running away with your precious MBA.
    Would be interested to know if anyone used any of these products.

A: my MacBook Air becomes unresponsive when logging in, and I decided to reinstall OS X Lion. When running the installer from OS X Recovery, it gave the error message "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again."

I encountered the same exact problem when I attempted to re-installed OSX Lion on an old laptop. The date was set back in 2000, which rendered the certificate obsolete. Here's how I fixed it:
From the recovery menu, select the Terminal application. Run the 'date' command to confirm the date is wrong, then set the correct date using this command: date {month}{day}{hour}{minute}{year}
e.g. date 1219195613
Exit terminal (type exit). Retry the installation.
