Safety Boot Mode- How to undo stickykeys/ number lock/ anything else

I just rebooted in safety mode and i cannot enter in my password to continue to my desktop screen. It says my password is wrong. But i know 100% what my password is. Is there any chance i hit an invisible number lock key, or hit sticky keys. Please help me.

Safety boot? Do you mean Safe Mode? Start with http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393 and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392. Restart normally, System Preferences->Accounts->your account->unlock the lock->check/reset password.

  • How to activate the number lock?

    Can someone explain how to activate an Apple extended keyboard?

    Hello Timothy,
    Press the Num Lock key. If you have a separate numeric keypad on your keyboard, the Num Lock key is located in the numeric keypad. If you’re using a portable computer, the Num Lock is a function key, marked Num Lock (F6). If your keyboard has a separate keypad but no Num Lock key, try pressing Shift-Clear.
    If the numeric keypad still doesn’t work as you expect, you may have enabled Mouse Keys, which lets you move the pointer with the keypad. To find the option that turns off Mouse Keys, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Universal Access, and then click “Mouse & Trackpad.”

  • How to convert MXF folders into anything else editable by FCP

    Hi everybody. I am quite new to P2 workflow and I need some help on this issue.
    I have imported all the material to an hard drive from the Panasonic 200 using P2CMS.
    Normally, (with other prosumer cameras) I use to have one file for each clip video. Each file contains both audio and video tracks.
    These P2 files, conversely, are scattered. I have a folder for the video, one for the audio etc.
    How do I convert this bunch of folders into a, say, mp4? or a mpeg2?
    Log and Transfer does not work apparently. The only thing that seems to work is: import the mxf, import the audio ( I am talking about FCP), sync the audio and video tracks on the sequence, export.
    anything faster?
    Thanks a lot!!

    To add onto David's post. These are not editing codecs. From P2 you would likely be using DVCPRO HD. That's not the only codec but a likely codec. For a complete list of editing codecs look at FCP's Easy Set Up.

  • Where is browser cache file for Firefox 5.0? For example, if I hear a sound on an url, how do I retrieve it or anything else that's in the cache??

    Where is the browser cache file in Firefox 5.0? It's my understanding that in prior versions, one only had to type "about:cache" in the address bar to retrieve the cache file. But this doesn't work on 5.0. I want to retrieve sound files from Cornell.edu ornithology website but cannot find where the file is located. In IE6.0 one only had to go to tools > internet options > settings > view files = viola!! As for prior versions of Firefox, the plug-in CacheViewer was very helpful but is incompatible w/ Firefox 5.0. Please help!

    A-OK, Xircal. Absolutely correct. I had a space where it should not have been. Problem solved. Thx bunches.

  • Number lock shortcut on keyboard with number pad

    How do I turn number lock back on? Somehow I turned the number lock off, probably while cleaning the keyboard.

    Try the clear button above the keypad.

  • Number lock key (F6) won't unlock

    I don't remember pressing this key down, but it is locked and the green light is on...and I can't unlock it no matter how many times I push it or hold it down. So, the keyboard will only type numbers right now
    I tried rebooting, but it didn't reset.
    I also tried going to preferences and resetting the keyboard to default, but that didn't work either.
    This is basically the first problem I've had with the computer in 3.5 years.
    Any suggestions on how to 'unlock' the number lock?

    Hi, Rachel, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    A Num Lock light that stays lit is sometimes a symptom of a deeper problem. Try resetting your Powerbook's Power Management Unit. Does that help? If not, run the Apple Hardware Test from your Powerbook's original Install & Restore DVD, and let us know what AHT reports.

  • My macbook pro ended up in safe boot mode randomly twice in a row...how do i fix this permanently??!

    And I think this issue is coming from a few different problems I've had with my MacBook Pro on lion...one major thing was probably the fact that I changed from Lion to Mountain Lion...and then changed right back (I think I did back up my stuff first), but somehow it didn't agree with my computer.  Also I've been wearing it out a lot by throwing it with the case into my car frequently...maybe a bit much, idk...also though I have a lot of trouble keeping up with the numerous files that build up on my desktop and don't know where to begin.  Let's just say my computer has pretty much had it, although for months it's been functioning normally.
    ...oh yeah and did I mention I had to get a brand new hard drive, with that not really making a difference as to how bad I, um, throw my computer around (it's not as bad as you think but to be candid, blech). I did bang my computer at one point in a rage attack and made sure no one really knew when I took it to get it fixed?  TMI...that's what I deserve....so.
    I did try this web link the second time in a row this happened which was about an hour or so that I managed to, uh, kind of fix it with the bottom advice on the page:
    http://applehelpwriter.com/2012/06/24/mac-keeps-starting-in-safe-mode/ 
    (sorry I couldn't get this to click)
    Anyways at the bottom of this help article you will notice the very end of PRAM reset directions where you hear the start up chime two times.  That did not happen, but somehow out of nowhere the computer stopped the safe boot mode routine and the progress bar didn't show up as I continued to hold down the given keys.  I really don't know where my luck came from there...and I also found an article that fixed my computer the first time and I cringe to say that it came from a person on Apple Discussions complaining about something similar that one of my friends helped me google. Planning to actually bookmark the applehelpwriter article in case I just happen to need it but i'm pretty sure someone will be on here with an answer at some point.
    SO....I did get my comp fixed twice now, but I hope that somebody will go back and read the beginning of my question explanation to see if I'm doing something that may be overwhelming my computer. If this safe boot thing happened to me instead of me testing the computer myself AND MORE THANA ONCE yikes...something needs to be done. Take note that the only reason I'm asking the community's advice is that I'm past my computer's contract so if I wanted to I couldn't take my computer to get it fixed and I planned to take one or two more classes in college again to complete my certificate.
    Please help, some people must run into this situation at some point, either way if they ask or don't I'm sure they're lucky to get it fixed somewhere.

    Only if your home/renters insurance doesn't cover such damage without raising your rates/dropping you.  Ask first of them if it is worthwhile the claim once you get an estimate for repair.  These repair places are pretty good:

  • How to calculate the number of operations in Undo/Redo stack?

    How to calculate the number of operations in Undo/Redo stack?
    I tried to override UndoManager.pushUndo method and increment "operationsCounter" there, but pushUndo is called each time I make a change in text.
    Another idea was to override EditManager.finalizeDo and use "operationsCounter" there, but finalizeDo is private...
    Do you have any idea?

    Hi Richard,
    Thanks for the reply. I suggested that existed the more simple way to implement this

  • How to control the number of fields in the Advanced mode in af:query

    Hi,
    How to control the number of fields in the Advanced mode in <af:query>?
    Say i have 20 fields in my table and i created a view criteria with 2 fields. It would work perfectly in Basic mode. But in the Advanced mode all other fields selection is possible on clicking the ADD Fields button. I did not want the client to make a search with all 20 fields. Only 10 fields are to be listed in the Advanced Mode even though there are 20 fields in my table.
    How do i control the list of fields in ADDFields button?
    Any ideas?
    KR

    You can uncheck the Querable property of the attributes which you need not show up in the Advanced Mode (but they will not show up in other modes too !) or programatically set the same as mentioned here -
    http://adfcodebits.blogspot.com/2010/11/bit-27-setting-view-object-attributes.htmlAlso you can hide the AddFields button as suggested here - http://www.notjustjava.com/2011/12/cool-tips-to-showhide-components-of-the-query-control-of-adf/
