Spinning wheel when trying to log into Macbook Pro 17" connected to 27" thunderbolt display

I've got a 17" Macbook Pro connected to a brand new 27" Thunderbolt display.  When I attempt to log in from user screen I consistently get the spinning wheel of death and have to power down on  frequent basis.  More a nuisance than anything but with the amount of money invested on the components in front of me this seems slightly silly.  I can use this work around pretty easily, but my wife isn't real swift when it comes to these things so I'm looking for a long term fix. 

lRlevolution,
if your hard drive has failed, then no amount of resetting the SMC will fix your hard drive — you’ll need to purchase a new hard drive (or SSD), format it in Disk Utility, install it in place of the old one, and install OS X on it. (If you plan on installing it yourself, you’ll need a T6 Torx screwdriver to remove the four screws from your current hard drive and put them in your new drive.) Is there a reason to believe that there might be a motherboard issue involved?

    I would appreciate some help.

    I upgraded to patchlevel 13, which solved the problem.

  • What to do when trying to log into my iCloud and it says "this apple iD is valid, but it's not an iCloud account"?

    What to do when trying to log into my iCloud and it says "this apple iD is valid, but it's not an iCloud account"?

    If you have not already created an iCloud account elsewhere you cannot do so on  PC, and that is the error message you will get. You can create an iCloud account on a Mac or an iOS device and then you should be able to sign into it in the iCloud Control Panel in Windows.

  • HT204408 When trying to log into face time I get the registering device does not have appropriate credentials, I have OSX 10.8.4 on my Mac Pro. I can log in using my IPAD

    When trying to log into face time I get the registering device does not have appropriate credentials after I sign in, I have OSX 10.8.4 on my Mac Pro. I can log into face time without a problem using my IPAD.>

    Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the issue is reolved. If there's no resolution after Step 3, post your results.
    Step 1
    Sign out of iMessage in the Accounts tab of the preferences dialog, then sign back in.
    Step 2
    Log out of your user account and log back in.
    Step 3
    Boot in safe mode and test, then reboot as usual and test again.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. 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.

  • When trying to log into my bank account, I always get a Challenge Page even though I check the box to register my computer as a private computer.

    When trying to log into my bank accounts (2), I always get a security Challenge Page even though I have repeatedly checked the box to register my computer as a private computer. When I attempt to get into these same two accounts using Internet Explorer, I skip the Challenge Page and go directly to the Log In page. What settings do I need to change in Firefox so that I don't get the Challenge Page every time?

    I have had exactly this problem - Firefox - version 11, but when I updated all my plug-ins (go to Customize Firefox - about halfway down - '''''Check your plugins''''') and restarted Firefox the problem vanished. Hope this helps as this seems to be a fairly large issue.

    When trying to log into yahoo mail, I get the message saying 'The page isn't redirecting properly'. I deleted history/ restarted firefox. How can this be fixed?

    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

    Indeed you do, limit of three accounts exists for every device. You can use old icloud accounts or create account on new device and then sign in on that phone. That limit is only for creating and not for use.

  • What display is more suitable for a macbook pro, an iMac or a Thunderbolt Display?

    I am currently deployed in Afghanistan and will be purchasing a Macbook Pro upon my return. This will be my first time owning a mac as I have always been a Windows user so I am unaware of which product works the best with one another. I am curious to know though which display will work the best with a macbook pro; an iMac or a Thunderbolt Display? Any guidance or advice anybody could offer would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Both work very well with the MBP.
    In essence the iMac is the ThunderBolt Display with an added Mac computer inside.
    If you don't need a second Mac computer save the money, get the Display and invest the money in more RAm or a bigger harddisk for the MBP.

  • Lion hangs when trying to log into the administrator account.

    Hello, everyone. Just tonight I tried to log into my administrator account, but when I try to, it opens to a white screen and beachballs. I ran disk utility, rebuilt permissions, etc., but no luck logging in. Has anyone else had a similiar issue?
    Joe

    Hi, Nanotechie1992. I have another piece of the puzzle. I recently bought a Magic Trackpad a few days ago, and it has been working well. However, just a few minutes ago I disconnected it and tried to log in as an administrator. The cursor appeared normal and moved around normally with my Magic Mouse. However, it was just a plain white background, no menu, no dock, no icons. I suppose I can try to reinstall my ram cards, but I have had them since I bought the computer a few years ago.

  • Macbook pro looses login settings with thunderbolt display

    I've noticed that on occasion my MacBook Pro looses its desktop settings when connected to a Thunderbolt display. Why Thunderbolt display discards my MacBook Pro window environment settings upon boot-up is unknown to me. I can tell when this happens when my desktop loads different backgrounds from those on my MacBook Pro.  Furthermore, the option in the System Preferences for changing my desktop background will cease to function. I even notice system wide speed degradation. 
    In order to correct this and reload my MacBook Pro settings I must identify a specific file named “com.apple.loginwindow.plist” and delete it. Doing so resolves whatever existing conflict so that Thunderbolt displays the correct background and enables System Preferrences to work properly.
    I would appreciate very much if anyone has a resolution for this problem.
    Respectfully,
    TomBoltz

    I think you need to do a search of the of these forums to see if there is an answer.  I saw a lot of suggestions, but the #1 solution is buying a brand new cable.  I have personal experience with that.  My son recently switched from an HP to a MacBook Pro.  The HDMI cable worked perfectly with the HP.  It didn't with the Mac.  He got a new cable for the Mac, everything resolved itself. 
    I have heard all kinds of speculation on it, but it happens frequently enough that there must be something going on.  I'd spend $30 on a new MiniDisplayPort to DVI connector or whatever you use.

  • Firefox 15.0.1 gives an error message when trying to log into my account @u.boisestate.edu

    I'm at student at Boise State. When I try to log into my broncomail account, or when I try to access broncomail through the Firefox Mail, I get the following message.
    The page isn't redirecting properly
    Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
    This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
    cookies.
    Cookies are not disabled, and I've not had this problem with prior versions of Firefox.
    The other thing I'm noticing is that the little green circle on the tabs for Blackboard and BroncoWeb often never seem to stop spinning.

    If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the file <i>cookies.sqlite</i> that stores the cookies is corrupted.<br />
    Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

    It was working earlier now after waiting then trying several times I still cant.
