Set up FireVault, now can't log into any of my accounts...

I just received my Macbook today from my school, so there were no cds included or anything. I set my FireVault and the computer restarted. I tried logging into my account with the master password and the password I used for the account and I tried all the combinations I could think of just in case I made typos, but nothing I try works. When I try logging back into my account with the password I used in the beginning (before setting up FireVault), the screen goes blue for a few seconds, like it usually does when it logs in, but then it just returns back into the login screen. Please help before the 18th, thanks.

You don't need to login with the master password. When you get to the log in screen, just log in as you would normally.

  • My keyboard is writing in Greek? even though the settings and fonts say it's writing in standard Apple font? I can't log into any of my accounts, because even though I type the password correctly, the keys are writing and beings submitted in Greek...HELP.

    My keyboard went nuts...I got on my MacBook today after not using it for about 24 hours, and the fonts all changed to like Greek. No matter where I am at (web browser, word document, etc). I even went into settings and fonts, and it says it is using Arial or some other standard "Apple" font, but the keys continue to write in Greek.
    It gets worse-I logged out thinking I just needed to reboot...but now I cannot get back in because it's still not writing correctly. What's even weired (and I have no idea if this is related or not) but my Capslock Key and my Delete key have like switched roles...ALSO, when I press down the "A" key (as there is an "A" in my password) the keyboard writes it 3 times...even though I only hit it once. SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE. I am a full-time student and need my computer for homework.
    I'm locked out AND if I do get in, the font it still messed up as well as the Delete and Capslock keys...

    It sounds to me like your keyboard has been damaged and needs to be repaired or replaced.  Can you try an external keyboard?

  • I can't log into my mobile me account from my lap top.  Is it because of my operating system?  I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8?

    I can't log into my mobile me account from my lap top.  Is it because of my operating system?  I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8? Every time I try to enter my data in on the control panel I get an error that says; "Your MobileMe member name or password may be invalid. Please enter a different name or password."  I know the name and password is correct because I can log in via the Web.

    Apple discontinued it on June 30, 2012. Many of its services are now provided by iCloud; anything which connects specifically to MobileMe won't work.

  • I can't log into my apple ID account

    I can't log into my apple ID account. every time I try, I receive the message: We could not complete your itunes store request. The itunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

    I am also experiencing this issue. I signed out to attempt fixing a sync problem, and now I can't sign back in. I receive the same message. I thought it might be related to work vs home network connections, so I tried the following:
    disconnected all network connections/reconnecting
    deleted wireless connection (only used Ethernet)
    cleared the DNS cache: sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
    Was still not able to sign in. Anyone have any other ideas to offer?

  • I can't log into any of my online accounts after emptying my cache.

    Ever since I reset Safari to empty my cache, history and such, I can not log into any of my online accounts,such as Safari, eBay,etc... I enter my username and password and click the sign in button and the page goes back to the log in page. I don't know what's going on with it.
    Has anyone ever had this problem? If so, please let me know how I can resolve this problem. Thanks!

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Sounds like you broke the connection between your Password list and Keychain Access. What you may have to do is reestablish those passwords. First step would be to go to keychain access and remove the related entries. Then go back to Safari and access each site. After entering your password information, a prompt ought to appear about keeping the password on file. Select "yes".

  • Got new AIM ID, logged in a few times, now can't log into AIM or Jabber

    I got a new AIM ID using my gmail address, and it worked fine for about a week, but now I can't log into AIM or Jabber using my gmail address. All my passwords are correct!

    Jabber is working now -- I fixed a setting -- but AIM still is not.

  • Deleted English keyboard and now can't log into iPhone from lock screen

    I downloaded SwiftKey for my iPhone 5S after updating to iOS8 and found that it didn't pop up as the default keyboard for the phone.  I went to keyboards and deleted the standard, iPhone English keyboard which then made SwiftKey the default.  In 20-20 hindsight it was a very stupid thing to do, but it really seemed like a good idea at the time, and it did make SwiftKey the default.  Of note, I still had the Hebrew keyboard loaded as a secondary keyboard.
    The problem is that when the iPhone locked out, the Hebrew keyboard now comes up in the lock screen.  I have no way to switch the lock screen keyboard to English characters so that I can input my password.  Effectively, I am now unable to log into my iPhone.  I tried turning it off and on and also tried a 'hard reset' by pressing both the power button and the home button until the iPhone reboots.  Still no access to the English keyboard on the lock screen....
    I have the Phone backed up completely on my computer at home--how do I get the English keyboard back so I can log in?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Okay.  I know I'm not the only one who has this problem, because I just answered another query.  After playing around with the iPhone a bit and talking to the guy in our IT department I found the answer...  I'm posting the answer to my own question so that if anyone else has a problem they can find the solution here.
    You will need a computer with iTunes running and your sync cable.
    Here's what I found out...  If you hold down the power button and the home button for a ridiculously long time (close to a minute and it might cycle through the plain apple picture twice) you eventually will get the a screen that looks that looks like an iPhone sync cord and an arrow pointing to a red iTunes logo.
    You can then hook the phone up to your computer, boot up iTunes, and the phone will be recognized by the computer.  After that, you simply go to iTunes and pick the option "restore iPhone" and that should work...  This will reset your phone to the factory settings.
    Once this is done, you can sync to iTunes again and restore all your phone from your iTunes back up.  If you don't have a back up, this will probably wipe out the data on the iPhone, but at least you'll have a working phone when you are done.
    I'm really kicking myself for removing the English keyboard, but as it was an option to remove it, I couldn't imagine that the phone would have a problem like this if I eliminated it.  Apple will really need to rethink this one if they give the option of removing their English keyboard.
    Good luck!

  • Can't log into any desktop manager KDM set autologin

    Hello, new Arch user. I moved over from Ubuntu.
    I installed arch on my laptop with KDE, LXDE, and Gnome. I had KDE and LXDE set up and working the way I wanted. I tried to log into Gnome. "Something" is wrong with Gnome (no idea at this point). It simply hangs at a black screen.
    I had set KDM to autologin. Now I can't log in, log out, or change desktop environments. I don't know how to turn off the autologin (I turned it on when I was logged into KDE), or force KDM to switch back to a desktop manager that works.
    I found my kdmrc (/usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc). It indicates autologin is disabled.
    I can get to a shell (ctrl-alt-F#). I can't get to any working graphical environment.

  • I can't log into my Apple ID account, I wish to change my email address, as I don't use the one that is already my Apple ID now, and it doesn't exist anymore, but It won't let me log in, it keeps saying username or password wrong, when I believe what

    HHow can I change my Apple ID,, it's not letting me log into my account as I don't use the current email address for that Apple ID anymore, that email address does not exist anymore, and I want to change it to a new one

    Where are you trying to log in? You should be able to change your ID at http://appleid.apple.com - can you log in there?
    Before you change your ID you should log out of the iTunes Store and on any devices which are logged into iCloud. Then once you've changed it you can log back in with the new ID. (Your iCloud synced data will disappear from the device when you do this but will reappear when you sign back in - give it time).
    If you are unable to sign into http://appleid.apple.com you will need to contact Support. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Updated and now can't log into iTunes. I see my apple id on iTunes page, but can't access account info or purchases

    HELP!! I udpated all my itunes etc., and can access my Mac App Store, but can no longer access my itunes purchases or account info. I don't get an error message. But, when I log into iTunes and see my apple ID at top right hand corner, but then go to purchase history and account info, it just keeps taking me back to log in block. I'm not getting an error message, but can't pull up anything, but my name.

    Ok.  Found something that said to shut down and hold the option, command, p, and r keys on restart.  Held them down for a few restarts and everything automatically signed in and works.  Woohoo!!!

  • I can't log into my Frontier email account from my Ipad mini.

    I can't log in to my Frontier email account from my ipad mini. It goes to mg.mail.yahoo.com but the page stays white.

    I've been with this service for nearly 2 years now and the problems just mount up. I had an account for close to 2 years on EE itself which suddenly does not exist. Advised by customer service agents to 'Sign up' for a new one. Try signing up, get to enter Bank account details - can only put in 4 digits. In what millenia were bank account numbers only 4 digits long? Why am I wasting an hour of my time fault finding for your developers? I should charge you £50 a hour for this waste of my time. Fire your project manager for this new website revamp, fire the developers and get someone in who can transition accounts from one system to another without destroying the whole user experience. Absolute disgrace, don't message me about Apps and how I should log in to my account for offers when I can't do any of that. I would advise anyone new to EE here to cancel your account within the 14 day grace period, you'll have neverending issues from fake data charges, extortionate roaming costs, somehow paying for data when on Wifi and much more.

  • Updated MBP from snow leopard to mavericks and now can't log into website I subscribe too.  Can log in on other computers, just not using Mavericks.  Tried safari, firefox and chrome.  Tried clearing cache/cookies/history etc.  Any suggestions?

    Have utilised the website's Help services with no answer.  They report it's fully supported by Mac system.  Have tried turning firewall off.  Nothing.  Assuming it's a privacy/security setting given no success in 3 browsers???  Help?

    Try making a test user account in System Preferences > Users & Groups.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Then log out of your usual user account and try the test user account, and see if the website  will let you in.
    I suspect that the problem is an internet plugin that is not compatible with Mavericks. The old internet plugin will not be in the test user account.
    If the site lets you in with the test user account, then it's a process of trial and error to figure out which plugin is the culprit.
    The internet plugins are found in a few places.
    Most are in /Library/Internet Plugins
    Some may be in ~/Library/Internet Plugins
    ~/Library is hidden by default.

  • 10.5.3 Update - Now can't log into to computer.

    Please help.
    Installed the update from 10.5.2-10.5.3, and now i can't login to my computer.
    It gives me the login screen and I enter my info, and it goes blue for a few seconds then goes back to login.
    I created a root user and it does the same thing.
    I connected with a Target computer and see all my files fine.
    Is there anything I can do to bypass this login screen via my Target by deleting a pref or something?
    It's an older G4 iMac that i primarily use for the internet.

  • Changed Apple ID - now can't log into my iPad

    I changed my apple id because my email address changed. Now, I can't login to my iPad because iMessage is prompting for a password for the old apple ID. It won't login, or cancel, and because it has focus, I can't login to the iPad, nor can I shut it down... I'm stuck.
    Is there anything I can do to get my iPad back?
