Startup doesn't recognize user or password

After leaving the computer quiet for 4 months, on startup the G5 asks for a user name and password when previously none was set up and automatic login was functioning. When I startup with the original 10.3.9 and attempt to reset account password no users are found, the pull down menu is greyed out. To complicate matters I can no longer find my 10.4.3 Tiger disk. Any suggestions ??

    iPhoto Menu ->
    Preferences ->
    Accounts ->
    Delete and recreate your email settings.
    Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

    What do I do?

  • I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected.  It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message).  I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.

    Hello there dinadinadina,
    It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
    Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap the affected email account.
    Tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    What do I do when IPhoto says "mail server does not recognize user name/password?

    Fixed by resetting my password to Apple's new protocol!  In my case, I had to add a capitol letter.

    Hi Cody\'sgirl,
    If you are having issues emailing photos directly from iPhoto, you may want to double check the email account information that is set in iPhoto. You may find the following article helpful (the section below is about setting up a new account, but it should be the same location to check existing account info):
    To set up a Photo Mail account:
    Choose iPhoto > Preferences, and then click Accounts.If you’re in full-screen view, move your pointer to the top of the screen to make the menu bar appear.
    Click the Add button in the lower-left corner.
    Click Email, and then click Add.
    Choose your email service provider.If your service provider isn’t listed, choose Other.
    Type the requested information.If you use the Mail application included with OS X, some account information might be filled in already. If you’re not sure what to type, contact your service provider.
    You can set up more than one Photo Mail account by repeating these steps for each account. When you send an email, you can change the outgoing account by clicking the From pop-up menu and choosing an account.

    What version of iPhoto?
    Assuming iPhoto '11 in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your account and re-enter it

  • Doesn't accept User name + Password after archive and install

    I did an archive and install, when finished the install the computer restarted and came up with the login Name + Password screen. I type in every account Name + Password I know and the login window just shakes telling me its wrong. I don't know what to do from this point, I was thinking about reseting the admin password but I'm not sure thats the problem because we have two admin accounts and I know both passwords.
    I archive and installed 10.4.0 over 10.4.7. And currently on my backup install of tiger.

    I did an archive and install because I had no video, and sometimes could not turn on the IBook. I have had two logic boards that went bad and were fixed free by Apple. When I finished the install the computer restarted and came up with the login Name + Password screen. When I type in Name + Password the login window just shakes telling me its wrong, which it is not.
    It is possible that the administrator or other user on the computer were erased at some point when I thought to get rid of unnecessary stuff (mistake!)
    I archive and installed 10.2.0 over 10.3.7, because I thought the instructions were to use the original install disk.
    I have a backup of the info on this computer on a MacBook Pro that I use all the time, this IBook I only use for email, etc.
