Put my password in and nothing happens same screen

recently i am having the weirdest of things happen with my mac desktop.  i put my password in and the screen goes to the next screen like it normally always did, but then it takes me right back to the sign on screen where my password is being prompted.  strange. 
i have tried everything I know to do including the command plus option plus r plus p at the same time, and that did nothing.   so i don't know what to do, the store i thought of but there is the store genius manager person at the beverly center that is disgustingly rude AND so inappropriate, i swore i would never darken their doors again.   i hate to go back there, she is the one that probably caused this very thing.  please help.

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. 
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.

  • I put a install disk into the computer and nothing happens

    I just bought the Macbook pro and im tring to install Photoshop elements 10. I put in the disk and nothing happens. I'm used to a window opening saying "install" on my PC. Does this not happen on a MAC? how do i install new software?

    First you have to check to make sure software works for your operating system (10.7) first.
    Ok, it is

    Ok, next you need to log into Adobe forums here and ask again

    Usually what occurs is a disk shaped object appears on your desktop and you double click it to open and inside will be a installer pkg or dmg you doubleclick to install the software.
    Ask over on Adobe forums for assistance.

    Hello tkproducer,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities
    After entering your redemption code and clicking redeem, your download should begin.  You can monitor what is currently downloading by selecting "Purchases" at the top bar of the App Store.
    Click Redeem in the Quick Links section.  The Quick Links section is located in the right part of the window shown when you click Featured, Top Charts, or Categories in the toolbar.
    Enter a gift card or download code, and then click Redeem.
    If you’re not logged in to the computer as an administrator, enter an administrator’s name and password.
    If you’re not signed in to App Store, enter your Apple ID and password, and then click Sign In.
    If requested, click Billing Info to enter or verify your billing information.
    Click Done.

    Hey there Tonyaokb,
    It sounds like you are trying to update some of your apps and when you tap the update button, the update does not happen. I recommend starting by closing the running apps on the phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that, sign out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes and App Stores, and restart the phone and try to update them again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists I would next verify that you can find it in your purchased history with ths article:
    Tap App Store.
    Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    Tap Updates.
    Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
    So that you can then delete the app and re install it:
    Reinstall the affected app
    Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
    Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-left corner of the app.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the app and download it again.
    Note: If it's a paid app, make sure you're using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it isn't, you may be asked to purchase the app again. Learn more about downloading previously purchased items.

    Hello ..do you have a history on the phone? did you get it wet? was it dropped? have you been using an authentic ORIGINAL apple charging cable?
    this problem occurs when there is a short circuit  in the phone... you  most likely got  it wet at some point and maybe didnt even realize it? The moisture in the phone hasb probablly  oxidized one or several capacitors, integrated chips thereby short circuiting the phone. that is why he phone  is acting erratic because these short circuits inadvertently "activates" other circuits.. eventually the phone will not turn on anymore- the heat will stress the citcuit board and you will have discontinuity along your main power lines and the phone will cease to function..i see this alllll the time in our shop
    the fact you upgraded to ios6 will even work the phone harder because its a more powerful operating system taking full advantage of the A4 chip..

  • Search does not work. Put something in search, press search and nothing happens

    "Search" in the middle of the page does not seem to work. I put something in there, press search and nothing happens. I have to go to the top right hand corner (Google) and put it in there and then it takes me to where i want to go. Once there if i want to use search it works once it has taken me to a web site. How can i fix this?

    Hello Albert,
    the web dynpro applications for internal and external candidated existed with eRec 6.0 SP 7 (or 9 depending if we count delivered or working ) so the were available before SES and are working with the old TREX setup as long as the SES business function is not activated.
    As a general issue you could check IMG node "Assign Search Template Groups to Search Applications". The web dynpro applications use new CompIds (the ones with capital letters). Check if the Ids are existing (you might need to compare with client 000) and if the Search Mask Group Ids assigned are correct.
    Furthermore check the application log (SLG1). If there is some configuration issue in the search masks a log entry should be written. If you need assistance with the log entry, just post it here and we will see if we can help.
    Kind Regards
    Roman
