New login window over previous one

last night I was using my mini and installing some applications when the entire system frooze up. Did not see the beach ball at all and couldn't do a "force quit". so I did a hard shut-down. When the system rebooted, I was taken to the login window but non of my profiles were listed. I was presented with a new login window and had to enter a user name and password. but none was working. I then rebooted with the system disk, repaired permissions, but the same thing happened. I also tried to reset the passwords via the system boot disk, but it's saying that I have no users.
how do I fixed this?

hey Douglas

Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) HELP!

Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) and requires the password to do anything. Everytime I go onto the ICloud page it shows my old email and requires the password, but I can't exactly type in a password because that won't work. I can't find a way to change my email or delete ICloud.

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

HT4623 I have a new handset as my previous one was damaged. With regards to backing everything which option do I choose when backing up, set up as a new iphone or, restore from this backup iphone?

I have a new hanset as my previous one ws damaged and everything was lost. When backing up which option should I use "set up as a new iphone or, restore from this , back up Jo's iphone"..

You may do whatever you like.
If you want to set it up using the backup of your old iphone then choose that.
If you do not then choose as new.

Login window only shows one user account

Hi,
Anyone has an idea what's happening?
I'm running Yosemite on MBPr 15" Mid-2012
When I power on or reboot the laptop, on the login window it only shows one user account, my account which is the Admin account. It doesn't show the secondary normal user account I created for my wife. However once I'm logged in and I hit log-off, then it shows the 2 user accounts available for login.
Thanks in advance!

The lock is on the bottom left not bottom right. Sorry mixed that up.
Letting other users unlock the drive
If you want to make the Mac available to a user that doesn't currently have unlock capabilities, log in as a user that can unlock the disk. When you see your own desktop, choose "Log Out (user name)" from the Apple () menu. Also, you can unlock the disk, then switch to another user from Fast User Switch menu in the menu bar.
If you want to grant existing users the ability to unlock the drive on their own, open the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences. Select the FileVault tab and click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window. Enter your admin privileges when prompted. Click the "Enable Users..." button to add existing users to the list of accounts that can unlock the disk.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Prohibiting running a new package while the previous one is still running

Hi Colleagues,
I'm looking for a way to prohibit a new package running while the previous one is still working. Is it possible to make a sequence of "to be run" packages, when the next one starts right when the previous one finishes?
Or maybe just prohibit starting a new package while the some package is already running.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Sergey

Hi Sergey
If you want to restrict the concurrent execution of data manager packages, you will have to edit your data manager package and add custom code.
For example:
You could put in queue based logic, when the package is first run, it inserts a record into a 'Queue' table, then once it completes the execution of its tasks, it deletes the record from the queue table.
So, if anybody runs the same data manager package, it checks to see if the record exists in the queue table, if it does, it ends the execution of the package.
I hope this helps
Kind Regards
Daniel

Office documents en Webadv : how to avoid to have new login windows ?

We are using the webdav module of IFS 1.1.9 to manage
Office 2000 documents.
Problem : each time we open a document, Windows asks to authenticate (the login window appears) whereas it is not usefull at all.
I thought it was a problem of Office (I've updated my Office 2000 with the SR-1 patch). But the problem is still here.
Does anybody have a solution to avoid these logins ?
Thanks

I've only seen this problem when with office 2000 not having SR-1 or if the permissions on the files are not sufficiant based on the original logon.

How do I reset my original Icloud account on my new Iphone as my previous one broke but everything I need is on my origianl account??

hello everyone
unfortunatly my daughter broke me previous iphone which had my original icloud account with everything on it, my new phone has a newicloud account automatically made which has no data on it.

my question is how do i make my original icloud account on my new phone my main and only one, i thougt that was the reason icloud was invented to be use as a whole on different phones.???
thanks guys

Did you delete the account that was automatically set up on your new phone before signing back into your old one? If not, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account at the bottom. Then set up your old account and turn your data syncing back to On. (When prompted, choose Merge.)

Outputting Servlet information to a new browser window

I have a simple form that has a few input text fields and a button. When the button is clicked, the information is submitted to a servlet that uses the information to generate XML and display it on the browser window.
My question is that is it possible to output the XML to a new browser window not the one where the information was submitted from?
Example, I submit some information, a new window pops up displaying the XML. The form window remains as is and outputs a submitted message.
Any code would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rizwan

well thats realy not a servlet q, but a html/jsp q..
your form submit should go to the same page as the form resides on..
in your servlet you process and prepare the response
in your formpage you should detect when a submit has taken place (request.getParam... some variable added in your response prepare
if this is the case, use java script to open a new page (also posting your response information)

I recently had to get a new windows computer, old one crashed. My tech guy got all my itunes library over to the new one, and all my songs are there. However, some won't play and ask me for the password for the apple id they were purchased under. 2 of these ids are obsolete and I have no access to those accts. The songs all played on my old computer without prompting me for a password.
Any ideas how I can get around this hassle and get them all to play? We're talking about 800 songs that are being obstinate. The new computer is authorized under my "new" Apple id, which I have used for years.

New windows not opening in front of previous ones...

I do not know what happened, but at one point if I was on Safari and had a webpage open and then clicked a link to a new page, it would put the new page on "top" of the previous one(s) which makes sense. Now all of a sudden when I click a link or open a new page it pops up the previous page(s) and I have to close them to find the "buried" new page I want to see. <Edited by Moderator>
Thanks!
Casey

Did you check your preferences to see if they were correct? If you go to Preferences > Tabs, is the box that says "Select tabs and windows as they are created" checked? If not, check the box and then new windows should open in the foreground.

After login I get a blue screen and then back to login window, but only for one account

When one of the users on the iMac tries to login it goes to a blue screen and back to the login window. This only happens with one of the users - I've tried doing a safe boot, running disk utility, and using Time Machine to restore the user's libray back to pre-problem timetable. When I run repair permissions I do gt a SUID file "usr/sbin/vpnd" and "usr/sbin/pppd" have been modified. Any ideas?

Try this...

If that doesn't help I'd make a new user & use an admin account to move the old folders over & change rights to the new user.

Whenever I launch a new Google window, Google immediately re-opens all other windows I happen to have open but minimized. I then have to either close or re-minimize each window, one at a time. What a pain!!

Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
Here are some other things to check:
(1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
(3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
(4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Hopefully that cures it.
