Password no longer works after installing 4.0.3 !

Brand new Mac mini running 10.10.2. I downloaded the new OS X Server v 4.0.3 app and all installed fine..
I even created a share and transferred some test data okay...
But my main login password on longer worked when I went to go access something in System Preferences!  I also couldn't use it to access the server via Screen Sharing as I had before I installed it ...and after a restart, I couldn't use it to log into the Mac!!  Meanwhile Safari kept crashing ...!  Infuriating !!  But yet it worked when I went to go log into the Server application.  ??? This used to be a piece of cake to install.  What happened to Server.app ???
So I've decided to wipe the system and not use this awful 4.0.3.  I'll just use regular old File Sharing for now.  So annoying, but I can't have it act like this, I've wasted too much time.  It's like I'm running a beta.
Is 4.0.3 just bug-ridden or what ?  What happened to my system's password ???
Bad job with this one, Apple.

At upgrades or major updates I have seen the behaviour that remote access via Server.app and remote access with Screen Sharing/Apple remote Desktop are reset to "not allowed". That only explains remote access not local access though.

  • My ImageClass MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. How can I resolve this?

    My Image Class MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. I have checked with Cannon and they do not list my partricular machine among their driver updates. Is there another place to download a driver suitable for Mavericks?

    Your MF4380dn is supported by the latest UFR2 v10.4.0 driver that supports 10.9. Here is a link from the Canon Australia web site,
    http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100491502.html
    Before installing this driver, please remove the MF4380 from Printers & Scanners (unless you have already performed the reset that Carolyn mentions which will remove it for you). Then run the v10.4.0 installer and when it has completed, open Printers & Scanners and add the MF4380.

    drag and drop to photo shop no longer works after installing Apple "Photos"; It was working fine before the latest Apple update (10.10.3) . what can be done?

    Nothing. It's nothing to do with PSE; this is a limitation of Photos, as is the loss of being able to use an external editor without exporting copies of your images.

  • My telus email no longer works after installing the new os Yosemite

    my telus email no longer works after installing the new os Yosemite

    This is a problem between Telus and Yosemite.  Telus, of course, blames Apple. 
    Check the box that says "Allow insecure authentication"  That will get your email working.
    However, this box will get un-checked when you stop start Mac Mail.  The next time you start Mail, you'll have to re-check it for each Telus account.  (This is the bit that Apple needs to fix.) 

  • Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software update, startup disk, iCloud, etc. no longer will launch. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use. No go!

    Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software Update, Startup Disk, iCloud, Time Machine, Notifications, etc. no longer will launch even though they do show their icons in the system preferences window. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use with a "Cancel" or "OK" choice. After I click on "OK" the window just keeps reappearing with the same choices and the pane I wish to use still remains inoperative. Third party preference panes DO work.
    Reinstalling OSX Mountain Lion did not help. Neither did throwing away preferences.plist.

    Hi Jeff,
    Tried to reply with my iPhone but not easy! Anyway, back on the laptop now. Yes the crash was bad but Tek support at Prism Sound was really good. In the end I rebuilt the whole system on a new disk which took a couple of days with all the plugins, softsynths etc.... but there seemed to be no alternative in my case, and this was agreed with Prism sound as being the only alternative left to me. I still don't really know what caused the crash but ML and Orpheus are both working fine now. Let's face it, you'll have to update at sometime..maybe best to pick some time between projects On balance, I suspect that my problems were unique to my system and that your installation will go ok.
    Hope it goes well,
    Rick

  • Some USB ports no longer working after installing Mountain Lion?

    Some of my USB ports are no longer working after installing Mountain Lion onto my 21' 2011 iMac. I used to plug in my iphone 4S and charge it, or transfer files onto my iPad but none of the ports no longer work to do this. Funnily enough, other equipment plugged into the works. I have tried changing the cable. Any ideas?

    In my experience, the USB ports on the back of an Apple monitor can be re-enabled simply by unplugging and plugging back in the device in question. You might also check to see that the USB Monitor hub shows up in System Profiler. My Apple monitor USB ports experienced no changes in moving to 10.4.7.

  • ITunes no longer works after installing IOS7

  • External monitor no longer works after installing iLife '09

    Before, the external monitor (Apple Cinema HD display) connected via DVI to Mini-DVI adapter was working fine. However, after installing iLife '09 and restarting, the iMac will no longer detect the external display attached to it. I even tried installing a different (but same model) display but it still will not detect.

    I'm not sure how installing an application would cause that to happen. Have you shut down (powered off) the iMac completely, and then restarted, since this problem occurred?
    Some display settings are stored in PRAM, so if you have not already, try resetting PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    If that does not help, you can try disconnecting the iMac from power and reconnecting it, using the reset SMC (power management) procedure.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
    When you reconnect it, initially connect the iMac to a wall outlet, by itself. Leave all peripherals disconnected, except for your USB keyboard/mouse. Make sure it is working properly, then connect only the external display.
    If it still does not work, as a test, start up with your Mac OS X installation disc. You are not installing anything, but note if the second display is displaying the background image or not when you are booted from a different system.

  • Tapping no longer works after installing Windows 7 RC using boot camp.

    After installing it i found that tapping to click no longer works in either OS X or Windows. I've checked system preferences and it is still ticked and all other gestures work except double tap and single tap. How do i fix this?

    OK, here's what you do.  I'm assuming that you've got the partition laid out and your drivers ready:
    Insert your Win 7 Upgrade DVD and hold down the C key while restarting the Mac  This boots Setup
    Run through Setup once, formatting your Boot Camp volume.  For this go-around, use a Custom install
    You will get to a point where you are asked for your Product Key.  Skip this request now!
    Install the Boot Camp software
    Next, go back to your Win 7 Upgrade DVD and allow the AutoRun.  Click Install Now on the window that opens.
    You're in Setup again.  This time, do an Upgrade.  You should be back at your Desktop when this runs through.  If asked for the key again, skip it.
    Click Start > Computer
    Now click System properties
    At the bottom of the System Properties window is a link, Change product key.  Click this link.
    Enter the Upgrade key now while you walk through activation.  It should be accepted this time.
    We've just tricked Windows into thinking it was upgraded, thereby fulfilling the license requirement.  This method works because the installer makes no check as to what specific versions of Vista or 7 the upgrade will qualify on.  In this way, it is possible to "clean install" an upgrade copy for about $100 less than a full copy.

  • All help menus no longer work after installing Mavericks

    After installing Mavericks on my iMac all help menus no longer work. You still get the drop down box which contains the search window and other choices, but if you try clicking on them the screen just flashes or you might get a box that says " safari help is not available". It does this system wide, doesn't matter what application your in. My internet works fine but for some reason in Mavericks the help menus are not accessing this information. Anyone else have this problem? Or an answer?
    Thank you!

    Finally, a quick restart of the mac and all help menus are working again.

  • COM interface no longer working after installing version 7.6.2.9

    I wrote a VB6 application a while back that has always worked fine for me. It referenced the COM interface (iTunesApp type library) of iTunes.exe to pause/play the music when a certain hotkey is pressed among other things. But after installing the new version of iTunes (7.6.2.9) it no longer works. It fails trying to create the iTunesLib.iTunesApp object. I don't remember the version number of iTunes that I had installed before that worked, but it I always keep it up to date, so it was the most recent one before this one. iTunes itself is running fine, but as far as I can tell, iTunes.exe no longer has a COM interface at all (you can't even register it with regsvr32 because it doesn't expose a DllRegisterServer routine).

    OK, before you dive any more into the registry, a simple question. Did you try uninstalling iTunes, rebooting, and re-installing iTunes?
    I do have an entry for 'iTunes.Application.1' (below). However, I'm sure there are many more registry entries related to iTunes. In other words, adding this entry will probably not be sufficient to restore the COM functionality.

  • XPlod car adapter no longer works after installing OS 4.0

    I have a Sony car stereo with the Xplod adapter that allows me to hook up my iPod to my stereo and control it from there. After the recent update to OS 4.0 this no longer works.
    Now when I plug it in; the iPod stops playing sound through it's speaker, but I get no control through the Stereo and nothing plays. It just seems to freeze.
    This has worked perfectly for 2years, and now it's dead. Anyone have any suggestions or fixes?

    I had this same issue after upgrading to iOS 4.0. I could play my iPod touch to the xPLOD through the USB cable but could not control it with the xPLOD, and there were a few other issues too.
    I tried the recommendation to power off the iPod Touch, then connect it to the xPLOD.
    I pressed the top and home buttons until "slide to power off" appeared, which I did.
    I connected the iPod Touch to the xPLOD and set the xPLOD source to USB.
    The iPod started to wake up. The xPLOD timed out with a "No device found" message while the iPod was waking up.
    When the iPod woke up, the xPLOD detected it and displayed "Reading device", then, everything worked fine.
    YMMV...

  • Flash no longer works after installing 9.0

    After installing the newest Flash (9) on my iMac (OSX
    10.4.10), it works in Firefox until I close Firefox but when I
    restart Firefox it won't display flash content unless I install
    flash again. It has also stopped working in Safari. Oddly, if I log
    on as a different user it works just fine, including in Safari!
    I've repaired permissions, I've used the flash uninstaller and
    re-installed and it still behaves in this odd way. Any
    suggestions?

    At upgrades or major updates I have seen the behaviour that remote access via Server.app and remote access with Screen Sharing/Apple remote Desktop are reset to "not allowed". That only explains remote access not local access though.
