Please help!!!!!!!!! My Mac won't let me sign in!!!!

Someone please help!!!!!  Last night after having some issues with my mac I decided that it would be the best solution to restore my mac to a previous version saved on an external harddrive using the time machine!!!  That entire process went great and at the end I was asked to restart my mac and for whatever reason it won't let me sign in!!!!  I know I am entering the right password but it is telling me that I am unable to sign in due to an error that has occured!!!!  That's it, no error code no other reason!!!!  For the love of god someone please help me!!!!!  Everything is on that computer!!!!!  It is running on a Snow Leopard IOS 10.6.8!!!  I can't even get my disk out of it now to maybe try this process again and get it to work!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Please help. Mac won't start.

    Please help me. I have no AppleCare so I can't call them.
    My mother bought me a MacBook pro earlier this year but we didn't purchase apple care. Right now I'm having a problem with startup. Everytime I try to start my MacBook Pro up, it automatically goes to os x utilities. It never did this before and I don't know what to do. Can someone please walk me through how to get my computer back to normal? I really can't afford another computer right now.

    If it's less then a year old it's still under warranty and Apple will fix it free. In fact you can go to the apple.com, support and chat with someone who could probably tell you how to fix it.

  • PLEASE HELP! Photoshop won't let me angle any of my brushes, it makes all of them round. How do I fix this?

    So I ran into a bit of an issue a couple days ago. For whatever reason, photoshop will not let me angle any of my brushes, which a lot of them are (currently working on a digital painting portfolio), so it is a bit of a problem. I have tried going into shape dynamic and making adjustments, etc... I tried clearing my brushes and then putting them back on. No matter what brush set I use, the ones that should show up with an angle, instead are round. How can I fix this?

  • My mac won't let me type in my password. Please help

    My mac won't let me type in my password when I am required to do so to update any software or to unlock system preferences. When I click the lock to unlock in system preferences a box comes up asking me to type my password, however when I type nothing is written in the box. Please help

    Try a device reset. If that doesn't help, you should take your device to an Apple Store for a free evaluation.
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Help!  Just did the Update (ML 10.8.4) after receiving a new HD since mine crashed last week, and now my Mac won't let me past the log in screen even with correct password.

    Help!  Just did the Update (ML 10.8.4) after receiving a new HD since mine crashed last week and the shop didn't update it back to Mavricks which I had previously done...and now my Mac won't let me past the log in screen even with correct password entered. It just spins like I'm logging in and then goes back to the user log in screen.  I did the process where I restarted and pressed control S and created a new user and password, but once created same issue and can't get passed that screen.
    Super frustrated and any help is appreciated!

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

    v10.5.8 is as far as Mac OS X Leopard can be upgraded to.
    To run the latest version of iTunes you will need to upgrade to either v10.7 Lion or v10.8 Mountain Lion.

    You said you updated yur 1G iPod to 4.2.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3 and thus you must have jailbroken it to get to 4.2.1 and that can cause problems.

    I have the same problem.. apps won't download and won't open. I have a 1st Gen ipod touch and recently upgraded my MacBook Pro (2012) and as soon as I upgraded the iPod Touch to 4.2.1, this happened. I restored to factory defaults and still cannot dl and open apps. Any way to diagnose this problem? Apple tech charges $29.99 for out of warranty products and if I am reluctant to pay with them telling me its simply a hardware problem.

    The best approach would be to take the iPad to the school's IT person and see what is going wrong, why it will not accept your sign-in.  That person can make sure the userid and password are correct on the iPad.

  • Mac won't let me move files into a folder bc it THINKS there are duplicate files - but they're not

    Mac won't let me move files into a folder bc it THINKS there are duplicate files - but they're not. There are hundreds of what it thinks are duplicates. How can I get it to let me put them all into a folder and create unique names? If I do one file at a time, it gives me the option to keep both files. But not when I am moving hundreds at a time.

    A reply to an old problem, but I couldn't find this solution anywhere. I had the same problem when I moved my iTunes library to an external drive. As Apple recommends, I used File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to copy my music files from my overstuffed hard drive to the external drive. Copying went fine for a while, adding about two-thirds of my files to the new drive without incident. Then I got the big stop sign with the error message: "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    This turned out to have nothing to do with either the hard drive or the external disk. I had a bad file in my music library that was shutting down the consolidation process. Unfortunately the error message says nothing about which file may be the culprit. All I could think to do was to go back to my original library in iTunes and sort by Artist, select all cuts with artists beginning with A, right click and select "Consolidate Files". Then do the same with B artists, etc. Proceeding this way, files resumed copying but when I got to the "S" selections, the consolidate process failed again. Then I selected smaller and smaller batches until the problem file was identified. Removed it from my library and then Consolidate worked fine through the rest of the library. Problem solved.
    I spent several days working through this; hope I can save someone else the time.

    Please help my mac is so slow coming up and going to different places. the flower keeps coming up all the time?????

    I'm having this problem but only online. I've confirmed that it is the computer (2007 MacBook), and it only happens when I'm using wi-fi connection. My other MacBook (2010) is connecting with wi-fi fine, and when I plug this MacBook into the ethernet connection it is also doing fine. I've re-started, check the memory, deleted cookies, histories, gone as far as uninstalling and re-installing browswers. Used the System Preferences network diagnostics and got an "all good". Ideas appreciated.
