After update to 10.6.4 MacBook wont login
Hi,
As the title says, I have just updated my MacBook to 10.6.4 (was on 10.6.3) via Software Update. The update went fine, it was not interuppted, and I watched the system shut down and restart in verbose mode, everything looked normal. Upoun the reboot I discovered after entering my password the screen will go blue as normal, but then it goes straight back to the login window, rather than to my desktop. I have managed boot onto the snow leopard cd repair permissions etc, that hasnt helped. I can also boot fine via safe boot. Console does not show anything relating any login problems.
Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
PatrickHave you found an answer to this? I have just updated a MacBook and a New iMac and am having the same issue. The iPod will show up in iPhoto but not in iTunes.

My macbook seems to be going crazy. At certain points (and for hours) I get the oh snap page on chrome, safari doesnt work, macbook wont let me create any files or for example upload music to itunes. I restored my mac so im sure its not a malware problem. The only thing that solves it is switching off and on , but sometimes I have to do that for 6-7 times before its ok or wait for a few hours. Some help please
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
MacBook wont wake up after I open the lid
It has been a persisting (and boring) issue. My MacBook wont wake up after I open the lid. I try closing and opening it lots of times but the screen stays black - it doesnt display the user login screen. Anyone has ever experienced this kind of issue, knows what causes it or has a fix for this bug?
Try resetting the SMC:

my macbook wont allow me to use the same hotmail address as i used on my other computers. How can I keep the same email and log into it on a macbook?
That indicates a hardware failure. Read here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
If nothing works, you most likely have a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple store to confirm. -

My email wont open after i updated to 6.0.1. also my game center wont login
and i don't know what to do... the email account is placed in the settings and my apple id for the game center is correct. still, they wont login
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

My macbook wont boot up. When I turn it on, the screen turns black right away and the cd/dvd drive keeps making a constant "ejecting" sound.
The strange thing though is that once in a while starts up propperly, but suddely goes black again (after a min. or two), and the ejecting sound comes back. What to do, and yh, I've never done a back up so would it be possible to take out the HD and regain whats in there?
Any help would be appriciated!Hello. Try resetting the PRAM and SMC first.

My macbook wont boot up :-( HELP!!!!
Hi
HELP!!! My macbook wont boot up.
I was deleting some files off my system last night, Id put them in the trash and deleted them (there was quite alot!!) and the screen gradually went black and told me i needed to restart my computer by holding down the power key.
I tried doingt this but it wouldn't restart.
I left it a while and tried powering up, it seems to turn over once but the chimes dont kick in and nothing happens, the little light (is it the sleep light?) does come on but nothing else.
I really really hope someone can help!Since you are still using Panther, try booting from your System Install DVD. Try running the +repair disk+ & repair permission options.
See Article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301287 My computer stops responding during startup
If you have AppleCare, suggest that you contact them. -
My macbook wont sync the music i downloaded onto a flash drive and onto the mac book what do i do?
If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc. you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder.
You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it.
You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library.
If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod. I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard. -

Macbook wont go to sleep on its own
hi guys...my macbook wont go to sleep on its own. i mean, Energy Saver Preferences is set to turn-off the display in 1 minute, and to make the computer sleep in 3 minutes - but the macbook wont turn off the display or sleep, based on the settings. Bt the way, when i make it sleep (Apple menu or by using Command-Option-Eject), the computer sleeps - no prob when sleep is manually executed.
Help please!

In my case I think (not 100% sure other than a usb cause) was/is (b); a non-apple usb wired keyboard with its own usb ports or a bluetooth dongle plugged into my 27"s usb port. I am not about to part with either of them. And it just wasn't worth my time narrowing it down any further if that was at all possible so (c).
hi, i take your points, given you start your reply with "yes".
i'm in a similar boat and i've spent far too long scouring the apple discussions for a solution (with some issues you're better off googling than coming here for truth). i have also got a case open with my applecare coverage but the responses so far have verged on ignorant (i think they respond badly so you go away), so on we go.
i'm astounded that the terminal command pmset -g doesn't always provide an answer, but it seems a decent part of the solution. checking over the console and activity help too.
i've never had the issue with other hardware, so it must be a combo regarding the newer stuff + lion, wouldn't you say?
