My mini-mac is in guest mode. I can not exit this an return to administrator mode. I have tried unplugging from internet and all devices and restarting. Also used all the F keys and the Control, Alt. Delete keys and numerous other combinations. Help

Computer will not boot up to administrator page for sign in and password. It goes to Guest page where I can browse the internet with Yahoo, but can not connect to Safari. It does not show Dock with Applications at all; therefore I can not access network settings or any applications to get out of this mode. I have disconnected every thing connected to the mini-mac and left over night before reconnecting. Same problem as before; then used all F buttons to try to recover factory settings, again nothing help ! Used various combinations of Escape, Delete, Control and Alternate keys. Held D key down while restarting computer and nothing has worked for me at this time. Any suggestions would be appreciated at this time!

  • How do I clear the control alt delete key downs when using input acquire.vi?

    I am trying to monitor keystroks...  When I use the Input Acquire.vi after I log in to my system it says the Control LAlt and the Delete key are down and my code does not like that because the keyboard value is not corect...the Keypressed array always has 3 keys down....
    Is there a way to clear them or send key ups some how to get rid of them.
    Thanks for any help you can provide...
    I am using Labview 8.0
    Thanks

    There is no way that you can press multiple buttons at exactly the same time. Which keys are you trying to press? Are you talking about "PlatMods" (shift, ctrl, etc.)?
    Keep a shift registers with the states of the desired buttons in a boolean array and change the respective elements to true or false, depending on key-up and key-down events. On the Key down events, check if all elements are true and act accordingly.

  • Loosing battery from internet traffic all the time

    because of that my iphone loses battery for 2-3 hours
    HELP ME PLEASE !

    I have another computer connected
    to this network in another part of the house
    If that is a Windows XP computer make sure it is not trying to do an 802.1x authentication since that will cause those interruptions:
    http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/1010.html
    Ensure that the Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network check box is not checked.
    Also, upgrading to Service Pack 2 should take care of that problem.
    Otherwise, Airports are a reliable product so perhaps you are in an area of interference? Pick a different channel - like 9?

  • Firefox start page is several times normal size; takes over the other programs on the computer; requires control-alt-delete to close; closes other programs as well.

    '''bold text'''When Firefox is open, email message opens in Firefox in super-size and difficult to use.
    Remedies tried at suggestion of another technician:
    Reduced zoom level in F.
    Opened in safe mode & checked square icon in top right corner
    Reset toolbars and controls in safe mode
    Uninstalled and reinstalled
    Tried restore defaults
    Ticked all options in Safe Mode and clicked "Make Changes & Restart"
    Pressed F11 on keyboard
    Right clicked on F icon & clicked compatability option.
    Fixed one problem
    Statement : "Firefox is incompatabile"; did not fix; couldn't see any way to fix.
    Note: when I used Firefox before, my operating system was Windows XP. On one window, there was a reference to Windows XP but no way shown to fix.
    Friends, I have been struggling with this problem for serveral weeks and many hours. Internet Explorer has become a nightmare and I need to use Firefox. With all respect, it seems to me the reputation of the organization is at stake. Help!
    One last question: is there someone I can trust who could take over my computer and solve this? Thank you!!!!!

  • My camera does not work on my ipod touch 4th gen. it just goes to a black screen i have done everything from resetting and rebooting... help :(

    I fell down the stairs the other day and busted my other ipod to the gamewerks near my house. the guy said he couldnt fix that ipod so he gave me a new one.. a better one a 32GB, the broken one was 8GB. but he told me the only bad thing is that the camera does not work and he doesnt know why... he just couldnt get it to workkk... any ideas on whats wrong?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • Why does a new tab not open when I click on it? I have just suffered from searchqu and successfully removed it (fingers crossed) but now I have this issue. Please help?

    Since I got infected with searchqu and (hopefully) removed this, when I try and click on the + to open a new tab, nothing happens. I have also tried clicking on file, scrolling to "New Tab" but again nothing happens. However, if I go to file then "New Window" then it will open a new window - but what a nightmare!!! Please can someone help?

  • Why is the latest up grade preventing me from going on the internet. I have tried automatic upgrade twice and I have both times had to restore my settings to the previous session to get on the internet.

    Why is the latest upgrade of Firefox preventing me from getting on the internet. I have tried to upgrade twice and both times I have gotten "Can not display this page please try again later" I have tried to open several different pages. Both times I had to restore my computer to previous settings to get on the internet.

    Hi Skydiver119
    Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my problem.
    Yes the purchases were made though my apple id.
    I have looked at a few other questions on this topic and I have read that the app data is stored in the backup file but the apps themselves need to be synced back onto the ipad. Someome has mentioned right clicking on sync my ipad but I don't know where to find that to right click on!! Lol.
    Again, I really appreciate your time and if by any chance you know where I can 'right click' I would really appreciate you letting me know as I can't get my ipad to sync with my pc at all, although it is being picked up in itunes and it has backed up to itunes okay. GGrrr. Maybe I have something wrong in the settings which is not making them compatible?
