Macbook will not let me login unless I disconeect ext. display

I have a new, 2months old, that just stopped detecting my external display(Sony tv connected via Mini display-HDMI-TV) When I restart, I can not login unless the extra display is not connected. It just starts to login, then flashes blue like when you connected a display, and then it goes back the login screen. When I do login in, the macbook does not detect the tv, even tho it flashes blue when I connect it. I have done restarts, and pressed "detect displays" button. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

I have replaced cables with new & the tv is set to the hdmi port. It has to be something else. very frustrating. It was working fine yesterday. Any other suggestions?

My older macbook will not let me log on to the different profiles

My MacBook will not let me log in to my different profiles. This is a school computer and several kids have profiles. The list of names comes up, but it will not more forward. If I put a cd in the drive it wakes it up and moves along. Any suggestions.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

HT1338 I can no longer use Macmail for my btinternet account. I was advised to delete the imap account and begin again with a pop account for incoming mail. My Macbook will not let me do that and neither BT nor Yahoo have been able to help.

Btinternet being your internet service provider? If I'm correct, have you followed their directions:

Have a AT&T iphone 4 and it will not let me login to the iPhone without a sims card and if you use a AT&T sims card it won't work

Define "won't work"...
You can not activate an iPhone without a SIM. If the phone is carrier locked, you must have a valid Sim from the correct carrier.

Macbook will not connect to Wifi unless in same room with router

My daughters 5 year old Macbook will not connect to the internet unless she is in the same room as the router. The internet works perfectly for all the other computers in the house. Has anyone had this issue?

There may be some source of wireless interference. It could be radio interfernce or physical interfernce. You can try changing the radio channel on the network.
Otherwise, the issue would relate to the MacBook computer. Follow HT4628 for some troubleshooting.

Facetime will not let me login

I tried to add my friend on facetime today but whenever we tried to call one another it said that the other person was unavailable. I tried to change which email I was using because I have more than one email set up with my facetime, but now facetime will not let me log back in. I have the right apple id and password but it still won't work. Any suggestions of what to do?

I have the same problem! If anyone has the answer it would be helpful, I would love to use my FaceTime again.

Macbook will not return from login window

Hi,
I ran some updates on my sytem yesterday and since then when I select login window if I am away from my machine and then return, it will not come out of the login window. It does not give me the login screen even? Any ideas on how to fix this?

Probably to late but just in case....
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions.
No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

Using OSX lion and I created an aim account but ichat will not let me login and says my password or username is incorrect!?

I have created an AIM account on my computer. When I go to sign into Ichat it does not let me sign in. It says my username/password is incorrect. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Whenever I have created a Name at AIM then I have received an email to tell me (via the email I listed) that a name has been created.
Such as this:-
Thank you. An AOL account as been created using this email address.
To complete the registration and activate the account, please verify your email address by clicking the link below.
Yes, I made this request and I want to reserve this email address as part of the AOL account service
No, I did not make this request and I do not want my email address registered with the AOL account service
You will not be able to use this AOL account or make changes to the account until the registration is complete.
Thank you,
The AOL Team
(Some lines are links in the original)
The wording in the above is from an older confirmation email, I have a newer one has slightly different wording.
That is then followed by a "Thank for Confirming" email.
An @mac.com Apple ID that is also a valid AIM Screen Name is registered here
Keep the password to 16 characters or less (it's an AIM limit despite the prompts on the Site for longer).
The Apple ID (Using @mac.com) links one email to the @mac.com name. That email is a must but must not already be used with another Apple ID

New Macbook Pro will not let me login

I have a fairly new Macbook Pro. When I turn it on, the Apple screen comes up, then the user icons. I can move the cursor just fine, but when I try to click on my user icon, the computer doesn't respond when I click on the icon. This is an intermittent problem, and has just started happening in the past two weeks. I have to shut the computer down by holding the on/off switch down, then restart, hoping it will work.
I took it to the Apple Store Genius bar and they ran a diagnostic on it last weekend. Clean as a whistle, and of course, it worked just fine there.
Any suggestions or ideas about what could be wrong? I have Bootcamp and can access Windows on it, no problem. This seems to be an iOS problem.

Tapping to click is not the default behavior of the trackpad, and doesn't work in the login screen or in Recovery. You have to physically click the trackpad button by depressing it.

Will not let me login on login screen

I just got a new MacBook Pro last night, and obviously this morning I was playing with it downloading some I work programs. As they were installing I shut the lid and when I came back to check on it the login screen came up as usual but I could not login!! I have not changed the password the only thing I changed was my Full name to my nick name but that was it!! Can anyone give me any suggestions on what to do, I can't even shut it down completely!!!
Thank you!!

Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.

Safari will not let me login to facebook.

I've had this problem for a while now, and every time I try to login to facebook, I get this error message:
Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “https://login.facebook.com/login.php” because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server “login.facebook.com”.
I can access every other part of facebook besides logging in. My firewall is not on, I've tried other web browsers: Firefox, Camino, and sea monkey, but I still get the same error message of some sort. What do I do? Safari loads every other paige besides this.

I have the same problem, but in my case, it's about whether I'm a admin or not.
If I'm an admin, I don't get any errors, but if I'm not, I get them on every page which requires a secure connection (urls starting with https://)
Really annoying.
I think it started about one or two months ago, with 10.5.2 or so.

I am sorry to hear that you are still having this issue. Let me try to help.

You may uninstall Skype by doing the following steps below:
On your keyboard, press the Windows and R keys to open the Run dialog.
Type appwiz.cpl and click OK.
Right-click Skype in the list that appears and select Remove or Uninstall.
On your keyboard, press the Windows and R keys to open the Run dialog.
Type %appdata% and click OK.
Delete the Skype folder.
Then install Skype by clicking the link below:

Let me know i this works for you.
Best Regards,
Akyll

Thank you for your reply i added the mysqld: ALL to my hosts file as you suggested and now things are working. However i did a terrible nasty hack to make mysql work and i need a hand fixing it. My mysql command prompt skill are fairly weak and ran a command that effectively looked me out of mysql see below or in my past post on this thread. I changed the root users host allow to all and now localhost access is denied the way i am getting around this is by adding skip-grant-tables to the /etc/my.cnf file.
Could you please help me with some basic user management? i would like to set a password for root as right now it has none this i can probably figure out. However how do i change root to only have access to localhost again and my new remote user to have access from any or every remote address? How do i list the users and there permissions/allowed hosts maybe point me to some good docs too thanks.
update db set Host='all' where Db='mydb';
update user set Host='all' where user='myuser';
