My username is not appearing as an option on the login screen

While using my Mac today, I went away from it and left it idle. When I returned to put my password in, the info went to grey and and the spinning wheel was present for hours. I then decided to reboot the machine and when it restarted; it took a bit longer than usual to restart. When it finally went through, it only gave me the option to sign on as a guest and would not show my account as a login option. However, I can spotlight certain files and the actual user folder from my main account. It won't let me few or use any of the files/applications because it's saying I don't have permission. I enabled the Apple Setup upon reboot because I had to have an account in order to complete a project I was working on and access the internet and such. How can I access my original account? Even on my new account I created, It's not letting me access any of the applications or desktop/downloads/music files because it's still saying I have no permission.
It might help that I recently downloaded OS X Maverick. But I've had it for about 2 weeks; though, and have not had any issues.
Extremely desperate, please help!!!!

i solved the issue. I created another new account with the original name and it asked if i wanted to use the existing accounts home folder. clicking yes restored everything i had. thanks for your concern

Hi,
It's enough to modify the instanceconfig.xml file.
you have to properly set the AllowedLanguages tag:
<AllowedLanguages>en, it, es</AllowedLanguages>

HT2731 I have a student who is trying to set up an account however it is asking for Credit Card information. The choice of NONE does not appear as an option with the credit cards. Any assistance?

I have a student trying to set up an App Store account (she has an Apple ID), however she is being asked for credit card information. The option of NONE does not appear as one of the choices with the other credit cards.
Any assistance?

There are instrctions on this page for how to create a new account (it won't work with existing account) without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 e.g. select a free app in the store and click on 'create Apple id' when 'buying' it.

OraOLEDB not appearing as an option in the 'Providers' list SQL Server 2008

Hi there,
I'm trying to create a linked server to an Oracle 10g database from SQL Server 2008 R2, but the required OraOLEDB.oracle driver is not appearing in the list of providers. We are trying to recreate our prod environment where we use the 11g client to connect to the 10g db, so I downloaded the installed the 11gClient ODADC (11.1.0.7). I have the Oracle folder in my 'Start' menu (Windows 2008 O/S), and it looks like the Oracle install was successful but in the registry (regedit) I don't see Oracle listed as 'software' in the local_machine/software listing.
I set my Oracle home to C:\Oracle and the path under there is
product\11.1.0\client_1
I've also read in some other posts that I should have both a 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle driver installed - I'm assuming that 11g is 64-bit and 9i is 32 bit?
Should I be able to install just the client or do I need to install the Server as well?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for...

I figured this out - we didn't have the 64-bit version of the driver.

Guest user Appears as "other User" at the login screen?

Hi every time i enable Guest user.
it displays as other user and asks for a user name and password

thanks in advance!

Toggle it to 'Name & password' & flip it back
Are you also using any Network accounts from a server? These can also specify the preference that controls the login window. Network accounts are also shown in Users & Groups under the 'Network Account Server' item.
You could probably delete the preference file from /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist & reboot. That should cause the login window settings to go back to default values, double check the settings afterwards. NOTE: you will need admin privileges to delete this file.

When right clicking to send a link , the` send link` option does not appear as n option on the menu list.

the ``send link`` option just disappeared..It happened immediately after an automatic update to firefox when my computer has to be restarted about a month ago.
sometimes a ``copy link location`` will be on the list...and that will allow me to send on a link..but normally now it rarely appears and send link has disappeared entirely from the right clicked menu box.

hello bblauman, mozilla does clean up the interface of the browser from time to time - a user study has shown that this context menu entry is only used by a small fraction of the users. however, in case you miss this functionality you could use an addon to recover it: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/send-link-in-context-menu/

Hi, Samanthacarol.
If you are able to see the backup file in iCloud but unable to restore from the backup, then the article below will explain the solution.

My brand new back up drive is connected but now time machine has disappeared after working perfectly for a week. - no icon, not appearing as an option to save to - have rebooted everything a few times.

It's not clear whether you were able to do any backups to this drive at all. If not, it's probably not formatted properly. See #5 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for instructions.
If you did get any successful backups, there may be a problem with the drive, or the backups may be corrupted. Try to repair the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

For some artists in my Music app on my I-phone, the songs do not appear when I search by the artist. However, if I search the album name, all the songs show. How do I get the songs to show under songs?

Hi Spam_Valley,
I understand that you are having issues with your music displaying correctly. This may be an issues with the metadata stored within that song, and iTunes interpretation of that info.
We may need to repair this. See the following resources for information:

Or if you've recently got the phone unlocked then you'll need to connect it to itunes and then do a fresh restore to unlock it ,although for most users simply connecting to itunes for few seconds did the trick.

what can in do?

Well unfortunatly that advice does not always work. I bought a unlocked iphone4 from apple several years ago and went to att on a no contract basis. Six months later the phone crashed while updating the operating system. Apple replaced the phone with a new one. All is fine till I got a iphone5 and gave te phone to my cousin. The phone is now locked to att but att says the IMEI number is not a valid ATT IMEI and therfore cant unlock it. Apple says there is nothing They can or are willing to do so now I am stuck for a 600.00 phone that can't be used.
If anyoun knows a way naround this situation mI would appreciate a heads up.

Try the basics from the manual:
restart.
reset.
restore.
