Problem logging into windows user account

Hi, I have been using the fingerprint reader for logging into my user account but recently it has stopped working.I had setup a windows login password earlier and I remember it but when I try to login it never asks for the windows login password. I am only given two options to login, either using the fingerprint reader or a card. I have another user account I am able to access but it does not have the administrator priviledges. Please can you assist me in logging in using my windows password. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I got around to doing a basic test, and was able to successfully grab data from a camera through IMAQ and store it to the disk without needing to log in. The service launched at boot and stored plenty of data before I got the chance to log in.

I am have a problem log into my iTunes account it tell me to verify but not send to my email

Hi Pat. Thank you for the response. I wanted to use the acrobat pdf to word transfer service. I am from London, Uk and I am visiting Cape Town, South Africa. I need for tickets purposes a document which is in PDF but need to work on it and transfer it to WORD as they do not accept any other format. Its all good I opened a new account and have now transferred the file. Thank you for the prompt response.

After Time Machine backs up my file vault files (after logging out), when I next log into the user account it beachballs permanently during log in.

After Time Machine backs up my file vault files (after logging out), when I next log into the user account it beachballs permanently during log in. The backup was successful, as I had to restore after this issue last time. Hard resetting doesn't resolve the issue. Is there a Time Machine setting that I should be aware of?
I have 2011 13" MBP, 10.6.8 and use an external hard drive connected via USB for my Time Machine backups.
Thanks

I was able to get it to work. Thanks for your help. It's unfortunate the two applications do not work well together. This is what I did:
1) Safe boot and logged into the affected user (since the whole issue damaged the account's system settings).
2) Turned off File Vault in System Preferences. I needed to make some space on the hard drive first since apparently the total free space on the hard drive has to equal or exceed the amount of data currently in the file vault. I deleted some files and moved others to the Admin account. This whole process took awhile.
3) Finally, just restarted and logged in. The next time machine backup seems to be a significant backup, I assume because it's backing up the user account in a different way now that File Vault is turned off.
Thanks again!

Cannot log into my user account

After rebooting the MPro I am unable to log into my acount. The system comes up to the login screen and on entering the password to my account it thinks for a while and then cycles back to the login screen. If i enter a wrong password - system rejects it. I can log into guest user though

Symptom: After applying an update or some kind of instance where a shutdown occurred, upon rebooting, Mac OS X will demand a password for System.keychain. No password will ever work, not even root.
NOW FOR THE SOLUTION...
WARNING: This assumes that you are competent with the command line AND you have a working copy of OS X somewhere else nearby, preferably on an external disk partition. I'm not going to explain the basics of using the Terminal or how to access both of your systems at the same time. If you are afraid of screwing up, simply reinstall Mac OS X and say a few prayers that it will fix itself (assuming that another Software Update won't mess it up again).
The problem lies with a file deep in the bowels of OS X. It's /var/db/SystemKey. What it does is that it tells Mac OS X how to unlock the system keychain. It only knows the System.keychain specific to the computer, so if you import another System.keychain as a replacement, SystemKey won't know how to unlock it and you'll keep getting the annoying dialogs prompting for System.keychain's password.
So without further ado, this is how to stop the annoying dialogs once and for all:
1. AS THE ROOT USER, you will need to copy over /var/db/SystemKey from a known good system to your problematic system. Make sure that you preserve the permissions (0400). It is advisable that you are NOT booted from your problematic system.
2. If you have a good System.keychain, copy that over to /Library/Keychains on the problem system. If you accidentally deleted System.keychain, you can execute the following (again AS ROOT):
/usr/sbin/systemkeychain -C -f
This creates a new, working, empty System.keychain and effectively overwrites the old keychain.
3. Reboot to your system. You will be presented with different, more familiar (Change, Change All) dialogs. If you had any passwords saved in your list of preferred networks, just put them back in.
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

Cannot log into windows network account after Bootcamp install

Hi All,
I have a 27" Intel i3 iMac with Mountain Lion 10.8.7. Its connected to a windows server. To access my account on the Mac I log in with a username and password. Yesterday I had Bootcamp with a 32bit version of Windows installed. After the Windows was installed successfully, my 'Helpdesk' had to remote access in and run patches on the windows installation. All good so far.
I tried to log into my mac account this morning with username and password. There is a little red light beside your username. I had no luck what so ever. My account has vanished of my mac. I could 'locally' log in under the adminstrator account. There was no sign of my account in the users & groups.
I had back upped my files except for the download folder. I eventually found the download folder and was able to back that up.
please please can someone explain what has happened here.
My IT guy has no Apple trianing and wants to remove my mac and replace it with the a PC because they support them. I feel it was a bad bootcamp installtion done by the IT tech, he did mention that he installed a 32 bit windows instead of a 64 bit. Its lack of trainign and understanding that has caused this.
I am trying to make an argument to say that it was simplay a bad Bootcamp installtion and try and find simliar cases to back it up.
Please help

Mac partition was still there as I was able to log into the Administrator account on the mac. But when I went into users and groups there was no sign of my account. I'll agree it was a bad install, jsut need to explain it and back it up so that I can make that argument.

IMac shuts down when i try to log into some user accounts

Installed Lion on my mid 2010 iMac.
Now when I log into one of my accounts it starts to log in, then decides it doesn't want to and restarts the machine.
Guest account works fine, and when I made another account that works fine as well. Just keeps shutting down when I try to log into my main account.

Thanks for that. It looks like it is mail causing the problem. Took mail out of launch at start up and seems to be working ok now.
All I have to do now is make sure I remember to turn off mail before I shut down my computer.

I try to log into my user account but I set a master password and everytime I input the password it says login failed any suggestions?

I am trying to login into my user account but I set a simple masterpassword and everytime I input the password it says login failed. Any suggestions?

Or is it because I forgot my username?

I have problem login into my user account

i was using my macbook pro and it automatically logged off to the login window. since then i have been trying to log in but it seems to be login in and shows a flash blank screen and returns back to the login window. pls what is happening help me

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, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Problem Logging into only one of many computers

1. I have two desktop computers. One is hard wired to a linksys router and works great. The other desktop that has a problem logging into my email account. See (5) below. 2. First you must know that I also have an apple mac that is connected via the Router and it also works fine running OSX. 3. I have a Dell Laptop running Vista connected via the Router that runs fine. 4. Have another Dell Laptop running Win 7 is connected via the Router that runs fine. 5. I have this desktop running Win XP pro that is my problem. This is how the problem goes: I get to what appears to the correct login page; Type in the correct user and PW info; execute by clicking on the correct button; Nothing happens; I try several other ways; I click on the "signin" box at the extreme top right and nothing happens; I click on another box that ask for my location and a new window appears asking for my addres and zip code. I eventually get to the email. Now at this moment I look at the top of this my current window and I see that my location is shown and I am signed into verizon to write to you. There is a block that reads "signout". What is going on?

And one more small detail. After I have this problem there's a crash file in ~Library/Preferences called 'com.apple.iLifeAssetManagement.crqash.plist'. It's cryptic, but it says:

HT1452 I am no longer able to log into my bank account, work email or credit card webpages. What can I do?

All of a sudden I'm having having problems logging into my bank account, work email, and my credit card webpages. I'm able to log into these websites on other computers. Im not sure what to do.

If you are using Safari ...
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select the top six boxes then click Reset.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari.
See if that worked ...

Store access problems with different Mac user accounts

Hi,
My daughters account cannot connect to the iTunes store ONLY when she is logged into her user account on our iMac.
When logged into my user account she is able to connect to the store.
I can connect to the store if I log into my iTunes account when I am logged in her iMac user account.
Hope you are still with me!
I am running Mac OS X 10.5.2 & iTunes 7.6.2 (9)
The computers firewall settings are 'allow all incoming connections'.
There have been no changes to our netgear router.
As stated there is no ISP issue here as she can connect on other Mac user accounts and I can connect on her Mac user account.
I have deleted her .com.apple.iTunes.secure.plist
The error message -50 takes about 5 minutes to arrive after the 'accessing iTunes store' eventually stops. We have also had error -4 on one occasion.
It is possible to view her account details but when clicking on the iTunes store icon in iTunes it doesn't connect to the store.
I have deleted the existing iTunes file and downloaded a new iTunes file. I have changed the purchasing from shopping cart to one click in iTunes Preferences.
And I have emailed apple. Their reply hasn't been of help as yet.
Hopefully someone will have some ideas as to what to do next!
Regards, Jon

I've had another reply back from Apple which I am posting should anyone else have similar problems. Sadly it is a very disappointing and I think rather strange response.
+I understand that you are still unable to sign into your accouint on your other computer. I sincerely apologize for any frustration this may have caused you and I would be happy to assist you today.+
+I have looked further into this issue and your issue seems to be caused by a technical issue, which is out of my scope of support. The iTunes Customer Support answers questions about iTunes Store billing and accounts, downloading purchases from the iTunes Store, and iTunes Store content.+
+However, Apple also offers support for the .Mac services. Please visit the .Mac Support website to review the information provided or submit a question to the .Mac Support team:+
+http://www.apple.com/support/dotmac+
+In the future, if you need assistance with the iTunes Store, please don't hesitate to contact us again. I hope that you continue to enjoy using the iTunes Store. Thank you for being a loyal iTunes customer.+
Sincerely,
So my question is Who answers technical iTunes support from Apple?
Don't get me wrong, I love Apple - their design, the fact my computer does 'just work' and the way I now listen to music. Just a bit surprised by that reply.
Anyway fortunately I solved my problem and I hope this thread helps anyone else.

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

Unknown Error 310 when I try to log into my ITunes Account

Has anyone else had a problem logging into their ITunes Account? I cannot log into my ITunes account from my macbook pro for weeks now and I keep getting the following error message
"We could not complete your ITunes Store request. An unknown error occured (310). There was an error in the ITunes store please try again later."
I have been able to log in to my account via wi-fi at home on my iphone...
I have contacted itunes support team and they have not been very helpful suggesting I sign up for tech support contract...HELP PLEASE..........

I had this same problem and discovered that my proxy settings for my network connection were wrong. To fix, I did the following:
1. Clicked on wireless network icon in upper right of screen
2. Selected "Open Network Preferences"
3. Selected the network interface I was using - in my case Ethernet
4. Selected the Advanced button in the lower right
5. Selected the Proxies Tab
6. Corrected my proxy server settings - in my case I did not have a port number set for my HTTPS proxy server.
From what I can tell, Itunes uses both HTTP and HTTPS protocols to connect to Itunes Store and to log in to Itunes Account (respectively). If you are on a network that requires you to use a proxy server, then you will have to make sure each of these protocols is set to use the correct proxy server URL and Port Number. Also, if you are on a network that does not use a proxy server, you need to make sure you don't have a proxy server set for these protocols.
Ideally, the proxy server settings are handled for you automatically when you connect to a new network, this isn't alwys the case however. Some older network don't support automatic configuration of the proxy server settings and you are forced to manually set the configuration. Most wireless and home networks I've run into don't use proxy servers, they are typically only used in large corporations to reduce network load on the intranet, or to manage external security threats.
Good luck

Jabber for windows only allows the logged-in AD user to log into his jabber account only

Hello gang,
I have this strange issue with jabber for windows 10.5. So if you log into a pc with your microsoft active directory domain account and try to log into jabber with the same user credentials, you can log-in fine. However, if you try to log into another jabber account that is different from the AD account that you are logged into the pc with, you will not be able to log into jabber. You will just get an error from jabber that says that your credentials are incorrect. I actually deleted the jabber folders in the local and roming data folders, thinking that maybe it was caching the password but even that did not help.
Has anyone seen this problem before?

I've also experienced this. If you are logged in as a local user on the computer you can switch to any other Jabber user, but if you are logged into your computer with a domain/AD account you cannot login as a different user, only the domain user that is signed into the computer can login to Jabber. Does anybody know of a workaround or fix? Is this a setting that can be changed?
