Mountain Lion iMovie I deleted files and now I can't log in at all

I was editing a movie in iMac, but when I went to finalize the project, it told me I didn't have enough memory. I checked and re-checked and I could not find what was using it up. My movie/photos etc totaled a litte over 100 gigs out of 1 TB. I downloaded a couple of programs to see what was taking up the space but finally found out that 719 gigs was being used by a huge file called "bands." I deleted the file and now when I try to log in I am told that file vault cannot log me in at this time. I have been trying for two days to log in. I was connected to Lacie 6TB but upon disconnecting the size of the file did not decrease.
Am I screwed? Are there any solutions? Apple refuses to even acknowledge my mail, so I assume this is a problem they don't want to hear about. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using OSX Mountain Lion.

I downloaded the new 5.0b7 version, but I have OS 10.4.11 and now I can't log on at all.

How can I get back to the original version I had before this rescent down load?
I can't even open FireFox now.

Firefox 5.0 is a final release since June 21 and not a Beta as where ever you download the 5.0 Beta 7 is outdated.
Sorry but as of Firefox 4.0 and newer the old Mac OSX 10.4.x is no longer supported as OSX 10.5.x is the minimum along with Intel for Firefox 4.0 and newer including Firefox 5.0.
You can use the still supported Firefox 3.6 which is at 3.6.18 at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html or if you were using a PPC and not a Intel then there was this third-party option at http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

Can anyone tell me how to restore my itunes library and playlists? After I downloaded mountain lion my library is missing and my devices can be synced to only one library ...the missing one

can anyone tell me how to restore my itunes library and playlists? After I downloaded mountain lion my library is missing and my devices can be synced to only one library ...the missing one

That .itl file actually is the library -- at least the critical part of it although the library is actually many files and folders.
Try starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key. When it asks, guide it to the .itl file.
It's really hard to say without being able to poke around your computer. Upgrading should not delete the old library, but still it happens to the very, very few which is why we make backups before updating. If the old library file is gone then so are your playlists. You can always see if the following is of any use:

I used automator to rename some pages files, and now they can't be opened

I used automator to remove some text from the filenames of a group of pages files, and now they can't be opened. What went wrong?

Did you by any chance remove the file type extension?

HT201356 I have accidentally deleted my alternate iCloud (email) address. Are there any possibilities to retrieve it back because my iPad is connected to that email address, and now, I can't log out from it on my iPad, because it doesn't exist?

I have accidentally deleted my alternate iCloud (email) address. Are there any possibilities to retrieve it back because my iPad is connected to that email address, and now, I can't log out from it on my iPad, because it doesn't exist.
I have alternate icloud email attached to my iPad and I accidentally delete it from appleid.apple.com. And now I can't log out that iCloud account because it doesn't exist and it can't recognize my password.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I accidently deleted Safari and now I can't reinstall because it keeps telling me there is a newer version on my computer. The issue is my system does not support the newer version. Does anyone know how I can get around this?

Apple wanted to charge me 50 bucks jsut to talk to someone!
I believe you may be referring to the $49 ASL agreement at AppleCare? That is only when/if you are out of AppleCare Protection.
Can you get to an AppleStore Genius Bar?
They may be able to fix this for you. No charge.
I highly doubt that. There is a $70 charge for troubleshooing software issues, EVEN IF there is AppleCare Warranty on the hardware.
However, since there is no charge for an appointment at a Bar, go make one, and see what options they give you. Let us know how it goes.

I upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5.0 using a drop in DVD and now I can't log in...

I upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5.0 using a drop in DVD and now I can't log in...
This was on a G5 imac. I tried booting to the DVD and resetting the password but this did not help.
I did see the 2 user accounts still there when I reset the password so that gives me hope that my data is all there intact.
I need help getting past this login screen PLEASE!
The login name is blank and I've tried everything to get past it.
I heard from a tech that there was a problem when upgrading from 10.4.11 to 10.5.0 instead of the 10.5.3 or whatever, and it was a known issue when using the 10.5.0 disc to upgrade and he said that there was information on apple's site on what to do when this happens but I have not come accross this info as of yet.
I would really appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Thanks!!!

OK I finally got passed the above problem by just trying to type it in over and over and over and it finally took!
It seems as though I may have typed it wrong or misspelled something but I could swear I put it in the same way everytime!
NOW...
when I type : passwd username
replacing username with the short name it says
paddwd: Unknown user name 'username'
someone told me that possibly the home folder is still there and intact but the login may have gotten trashed and that i may need to recreate the user login. Does that sound like a possibility?

I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud

I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud. In addition I am unable to sign out or exit the iCloud System Preference page and have to force a shut down using the power off button to get rid of it. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

If the Preference Pane hangs, hit comand-option-escape and force quit System Preferences to avoid having to reboot.
In order to sign out you need the original password if you have set up 'Find My ....'. However you can't now change the password back to the original one (as you are not allowed to re-use a password).In this situation only Support can help you.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

A renter used my Apple TV to access Netflix, and now I can't log him out. Besides calling the renter to ask him to fix this, how do I fix this?

A renter used my Apple TV to access his Netflix movies, and now I can't log him out. Besides calling the renter to ask him to fix this using his Netflix.com account, how do I fix this?

There is no option in Apple TV to log out of Netflix. The internet tells me to go to netflix.com to "Disconnect from All Devices". I can't because I'm unable to log in to a renter's Netflix account.
Why is there no option to log out when using Apple TV? I can't ask my next renter to reset my Apple TV each time.

I tried to update my itune with the latest update and now i can't use itune at all . I have tried reinstalling it . all get is MSVCR80.dll and then I get Error 7 (windows erreor 126) . Need help please .

Similar problem here. iTunes11 notified me it was available. However, auto-update failed. So, I downloaded for manual update. That failed with "permission" message. I am administrator on this machine (WIN7). I tried uninstalling old version, but it failed with same permission issue. I now can't start iTunes... throws permission message. So, I'm completely dead in the water. Does this stuff get tested before it's shipped?

Sign out of your Apple ID on the device and sign in with the new credentials.

I upgraded to ios5 and now I can't log into my ipad with my password. How can I fix this?, I upgraded to ios5 and now I can't log into my ipad with my password.

I upgraded to ios5 and now I can't log into my Ipad with the password I had set and been using for the last 2 years. What do I need to do to get logged in?

You will have to format your iPad. Looks like that's the only way to reset your password.
Formatting your iPad
Turn off your iPad, turn on iTunes, hold large button down on ipad while connecting the white ipad cord to your Pc.
When the window prompts format iPad,let the button go and press format button on iTunes.
That is how I solved the same problem.
