Only Guest user is available to login after updates.

Hello,
One day i was editing a picture and listening to my music on iTunes, then the mac software updater pops a window out, saying that i needed to restart my computer to conclude all the four updates that he downloaded. So i saved my picture and clicked on "restart". Mac closed my profile and there was only one window left that was installing the updates (like all other updates i ever did). When mac finished this, he restarted. After restart, when i was about to grab the mouse to click my profile icon, it disappeared (i had 2 admin accounts and both disappeared at that same moment). Then the Guest account was the only one left. I restarted computer and because guest was the only account mac automatically asked me for the password to enter Guest account!
Awkward.. Guests have no password... so i clicked on the button saying "Back" to check if my accounts were there. And there was nothing but Guest... I clicked Guest this time and it logged in without asking me for the password. Every time i reboot he asks for that password (is not none of the admins passwords) and i have to click on Back and click again on guest to enter without pass...
Inside guest account i don't have any privileges and when he asks me to put an admin password to access some program none of the admins passwords are accepted!
And thats my problem.
I wrote this topic in this guest account because i have no other computer, and if i go to a computer store they will probably make me spend a lot of money.
PS: I have no installation CD (computer went to repair and they installed SnowLeopard in the process giving me no CD or anything at the end).
(I have important files on my missing admin account)
I really hope that someone is able to help me!
Thank You all for helping me, i hope you can do something for me.

Also having the same issue, although i wasn't updating at the time, was just doing a restart/refresh.
You should be able to still see your account in your user directory (even from your guest account), if so then grab yourself another mac and target disk your broken one to the one thats working http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661 - after doing the your old mac should load itself on the other mac asthough it were an external HD. You can should be able to drag and drop your files and retrieve any files/folder no already backed up (that is if you dont/ haven't run TimeMachine.
Now you're at my stage, i am hoping that a reinstall will fix. Pain in the backside to have to kinda start over. The files i have on my MacMini aren't to precious (as i use it mostly as a Plex server). This is a fairly extreme measure to goto and please hut around for possible Single User Mode fixes is you dont feel like this is right for you. Hopefully this will at least enable you to get your files back.
Dont forget to grab your user>username>Library>Mail folder in order to keep all email.

  • Guest user account won't login

    In OS 10.10.2 the guest user account won't login, all we get is the spinning ball.
    How do I fix the problem?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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 in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is 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 login 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 the test.

  • Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options.

    Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options. I was able to select the account under "parental controls", but again, could not delete it. Why Apple? Why?!!????

    SOLVED Ok. I actually was able to disable it. I had to actually log in as the guest user to make it accessible in the preference window. Then I disabled it and logged out. Apologies if this was obvious for some people, but I have had some sort of issue with something every update since Snow Leopard.

  • Messages - no user is allowed to login after server reboot

    Hello all together,
    I had to reboot a XServe with Mac OS X 10.8.3 and Server App 2.2.1 installed using the command line because I couldn't connect via ARD anymore at that time and the users couldn't login at all with their OD accounts.
    After the reboot no user was able to login to the messages server which wasn't any problem before this reboot. "User ID or password is wrong". The messages service in server.app is running. I restarted it twice without any advance. The passwordservice server log shows up all requests and the passwordservice error log has no entries at all. I couldn't find any related entries in any of the logs I searched in, especially not in the system.log.
    The users trying to login are local network users which are allowed to use this service and are all members of one group which is also allowed to use this service.
    If I turn the messages service off and try it again I get the same error. Therefor I can't even say if the service is definitely running but port 5223 is opened.
    Any suggestions?
    I really appreciate your help!
    Kind regards,

    Hello,
    for information purposes:
    A second server reboot resolves this issue!
    Thanks!

  • Facetime: user not available right away after dial

    When I am trying to do a Facetime Call (Audio and Facetime video), it gives right away a message of "User not available for Facetime". This number used to work no problem before. I tried to do a test with another Iphone to find the reason why this happened. So I found out that it couldn't be a number block nor a Facetime being turned off. Anyone know the reason why it jumps directly to the message of "User not available"?
    It seems like an auto-decline incoming calls, but Iphone does not have such option.
    Thanks

    Theres nothing wrong with your phone, it could mean any if the following:
    The person(s) you are callig have blocked you
    The person(s) have a dead phone
    The person(s) aren't accepting calls
    Hope I helped!

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.  
    These steps are to be taken while booted in safe mode.
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    for k in /Sy*/L*/Ex*/{,.?}*.kext; do test -f "$k/Contents/Info.plist" && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :CFBundleIdentifier" "$_" | egrep -qv "apple|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|CalDigit|HighPoint|hp-fax|JMicron|print|SoftRAID|stex" && echo $k; done
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered. You can do that by copying and pasting as well. Omit the final line ending in “$”. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 3
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null 
    Remember, steps 1-3 are all copy-and-paste — no typing. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Windows 7 Bootcamp is no longer available in startup after updating to Yosemite 10.10

    I updated my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) and then after updating I could no longer see my Windows 7 bootcamp when starting up.  I followed this tutorial to try to get it too work again without losing any information: Windows 7 Removed after update Yosemite.  I got to the part where we rebuild the MBR, but I got to part 8 and then it said that partition 4 is either too big or does not exist. 
    I do not know what to do from here and was wondering if I had done something wrong and/or what I can do to fix it?
    Thanks in advance

    You seem to have found the correct partition. The following table has your values. (ASC thinks I have invalid characters in my table, so this is a screen shot of the MS Excel spreadsheet).
    Leave your Testdisk display and start a new Terminal Window. You need to use the following steps. If you see any error messages during the following steps, please stop and post back here with the error message. The following steps have values from your Testdisk output (and you can verify) in Steps 7 and 8.
    Rebuild GPT4 using start/end offsets

    P           (print list of all parts just to see what changes will be made)
    W         (Write the new GPT)
    Y           (Yes! really write the new GPT)
      This will delete and re-write the GPT partition info for /dev/disk0s4.
    Rebuild MBR to match the new GPT information thus resetting the Hybrid MBR. Use defaults for other questions (like partition codes). The only values that need modifications are the Boot flags and step 6. Accept all other defaults that Gdisk offers.

  • Incorrect FileVault Password on login after update from OS X 10.7.4 to 10.7.5

    Today I encountered a minor bug in the update to OS X 10.7.5, found the solution and thought it might be helpful to others:
    After updating my MacMini 2007 (running OS X 10.7.4, with Server services active) to OS X 10.7.5,
    the machine did its normal-post-update restart routine.
    When prompted for the FileVault 2 password, the password I entered was incorrect. I tried several times without success.
    Then I entered the password using the keys of the US-keyboard layout instead of my the german keyboard layout that I actually have.
    Success.
    I live in germany, use a german keyboard, BUT have my system language in english. No clue if that's what confused OS X.
    Bad thing is that there is no indication whatsoever to make you aware of it, no country flag in the corner, no regular text field where you can see what you type.
    Anyway, it was only for the first restart, after that it was back to normal.
    Already posted an Apple Feedback.
    Maybe this post helps some people with the same problem.
    One more thing, the same happened here with the 10.7.4 Install ESD starting from external drive, when I tried to unlock my internal disk via Disk Utility. The password dialog sets the input source ALWAYS to US-keyboard layout, and on the top left corner it can't be changed... a bit annoying when you have millions of special characters in your disk password. But at least its shown in the top right corner... thats why I figured out the problem with my password after the update to 10.7.5, otherwise I would have been quite clueless and probably ended up erasing the whole disk.
    Cheers everyone!

    Hi!
    Thank you for posting this!
    I can verify this issue.
    Search for "us keyboard layout" and you can bring up a picture that will help you find special characters.

  • Guest user account showing on login screen - how to get rid of it.

    I disabled the guuest account and my iCloud account is not set to track my Mac what can I do. The guest account is asking for a user ID and password, how to do I reset this password.

    I'll answer your second sentence, as I don't understand the end of the first.
    You're probably being asked for an administrator username and password to take the action of disabling your guest account.  Try entering that.

  • [SOLVED] Plasma workspace crash (SIGSEGV) at login after update

    Hi all,
    after I updated via pacman -Syu last weekend and rebooted my system I got a plasma workspace crash at the login which happens ever since.
    I get:
    The application Plasma Workspace (plasma) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV).
    Please help us improve the software you use by filing a report at http://bugs.kde.org. Useful details include how to reproduce the error, documents that were loaded, etc.
    and the following bug report:
    This backtrace appears to be of no use.
    This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

    You can find old packages here:
    http://arm.kh.nu/
    That repo has saved my life a number of times. Especially with BLUETOOTH GRRRR.
    As for getting all your old settings back, I didn't investigate this enough because i only have opensuse for curiosity as I think they do some really great stuff.
    Basically I hadn't yet isolated what was causing the problems before I gave up because every time I tried to merge my old settings in to the new user account, I recreated the problem. No logical (subjective term obviously) separation of what to merge and what not to merge worked. So I gave up and just did everything manually. Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful.

    When I type in my password, it shows a black screen for a second or so and then goes back to the login screen. It doesn't show any errors or anything and I can't switch to a virtual terminal to try and see what's going on (though I am downloading the Arch Linux ISO since I lost my CD).
    My user shell is zsh and both /bin/zsh and /usr/bin/zsh are listed in /etc/shells (since I know another person had a similar-ish problem).
    I use openbox but I also tried logging into awesome and i3 sessions without any luck.
    EDIT: To anyone else having this problem, the solution here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1326033 fixed it for me.

    EDIT: As far as the ConsoleKit question goes, no. My xinitrc is just `exec openbox-session` and ConsoleKit is not referenced at all in my openbox autostart/environment files. Plus, that wouldn't explain why this is the first boot to get this error.

  • Skype cant login after update to 7.2 cant retrieve...

    After the upgrade to 7.2 skyped logged me out and never allowed to log back in. My password must have been reset. The dilemma: the email provided to send a temp password to was discontinued before I could change it in my skype settings. So now I am stuck in a loop of not being able to get a new password since there is no valid email to send it to on file. To seek help I filled out the Skype Account Verification form with a promise to get a response withing 24h which I get...an automated email to fill out that form again. So I do...and 24h later I get the same automated email again to fill out that form...this is the definition insanity. Any chance to talk to real people?
    Kind regards,
    Anselm

    Any takers? This is becoming a massive help desk fail! How can a company the size of MS/Skype have vitually NO support for a product this popular?!?
    I filled out the Accoutn Verification Form 4 times by now only to receive an email to fill that same form out again. This is becoming sillyness!!!
