Switching accounts problems

I have four macs at home connected with airport extreme. On only the Intel 20" iMac I am unable to switch between users. In fact, if I ask for a login window I get a blank blue screen and power off is the only solution.
However, if before switching I turn airport off the problem goes away! In other words to switch between users I need to first turn off airport, then switch, and then turn airport back on again. On my Intel powerbook everything is just fine.
Any ideas? I am stumped!
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Nobody here would know why. What happens when you try? What messages do you get?

How do i fix this billing account problem?

I just got my bank card updated, received it in the mail today and when i put in the activated card in my billing account iTunes said i need a proper code. i typed everything and click done and it said the same thing again, there's no button next to the billing card info to remove the card information to switch to gift card as well.

I soon realize that to fix the billing account problem was to redo my card information save, go back on it again found the none button on the end of the creditcard and paypal logo's, i clicked "none" then clicked save, it did give me an error at first but then i just went back clicked none again clicked save and i no longer have this billing issue anymore.

Switch statement problem

I am doing a question in which I have to make a simple ATM program that can withraw and deposit money as many times as the user wants. To exit the program the user has to hit "x". I have to use a switch statement. Im getting incompatible type errors after compiling it. Can anyone help me? Sorry if the formattings not too good.
//ATM.java

Caldav Account problems

I noticed a forum regarding Caldav account problems for the Iphone, however, is there one for the Ipad? I have tried the suggestions of logging into my yahoo account, searching for my password under settings/mail/account, etc., and that has not worked. I have also gone into my calendar and unchecked my name as to unsync my calendar/caldav. I still cannot get into my Ipad, it has locked me out and asked for the Caldav account password. Does anyone have a solution for the iPad Caldav issue?

Error when switching accounts in XP

I get an error when I switch to another account on my win xp prof.
the error message is "
Core Center
Failed to load hardware monitor driver
When I click OK I get the next error message "
No Hardware Monitor !
After clicking OK again the systems craches en reboots
Anyons know how to fix this ??
TiA

I personally don't reccomend the use of "corecenter" and I don't have a solution, but what it sounds like to me is a poorly scripted peice of software. See, when you "switch" accounts, but don't log off, some of the registry remains, and possibily the software doesn't see that you have switched users, so it's looking around for something that isn't there.
So in other words, I don't like corecenter, most of us around here use speedfan.
So if anyone knows of a solution....

Icloud signin maximum account problem

When i signin Icloud it shows MAXIMUM ACCOUNTS problem.. Anyone helps me in this regard. I'll be thankful.

Create your new AppleID on a computer or other Internet capable device.
Once created, you will be able to use that AppleID on your iPhone.

Issues syncing 4S with iTunes - account problem?

I have an iPhone 4S and iTunes 10.5. This morning I was going to sync my iPhone when I was prompted to authorize my computer - the same MacBook I've been using to sync with for the past two years, the same one I used to setup my 4S last week, etc. Then I was prompted to enter my AppleID to authorize auto-purchases. First I tried my Apple ID with the @me.com domain and the correct password, but the credential entry/auth window appeared again. Re-entered credentials, it reappeared.
So for the third try I entered my old Apple ID, (which was my email address) and password, and the auth window went away. But now iTunes is sitting on step 7 or 7 (synching Genius data) and the status bar says "Waiting for Objects to Copy", but it never goes further, and I end up ejecting my phone.
I can't tell if this is an iTunes problem, iPhone problem or account problem. Any ideas?
PS: apologies if this is in the wrong forum, please move as needed...

If you only want the free iPhone apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.
Note that this only applies to the App Store; you will not be able to get any of the free content in the iTunes Store without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.) And since you already started to create an account, you'll probably have to start over, which will mean selecting a different email account; you can set one up temporarily in a free service such as Gmail if you don't have another permanent email, and then go in to your account afterwards and change the email address.
Otherwise you'll have to enter in some sort of payment method, either a credit card (it can probably be one of the "prepaid" ones many banks offer) or a prepaid iTunes card.
Regards.

The Problem is when you "switch accounts" the screen will stay blue

UP

Make sure that your boot drive is selected as the Startup Drive in System Preferences. What you describe is very unusual behavior. If your Startup drive is selected in Preferences, try booting to your Recovery partition (holding down Command and R on startup) and using Disk Utility to verify and, if needed, repair your hard drive.
If this doesn't help, you may have to take your MBP to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

Big installation and switching IP problems with FIOS

     Okay, here's my problems. A little background first. We ordered the FIOS bundle for our computer and also for our son's computer. He will use the router and go wireless. We had Verizon DSL with AOL, he had MSN dial-up. The tech installer arrives yesterday. Does everything he's supposed to--I guess. But, when he's almost finished, he mentions we need an ethernet adapter for my computer and my son needs a wireless adapter to pick up the signal. My son runs to Best Buy and purchases both. It cost $97 for both. First, I THOUGHT this was all supposed to be included! Why did I have to spend an additional $97 on these items? Shouldn't they have been included? As my son arrived back from Best Buy, the tech guy was in the process of leaving. He told us WE were supposed to install the ethernet adapter and the wireless adapter ourselves--AND HE LEFT!!! Luckily my son is somewhat computer savvy and did it. We now have FIOS internet thanks to our son! However, the tech guy did absolutely nothing with my son's computer.
     Second, we sit down to check out our new FIOS cable. One problem, the channels weren't even comparable to our old Comcast cable HD channels. Not even close. The HD channels had a line running through them and weren't even in HD! We called tech services. The same tech guy comes back, hands us 4 bundles of cables, tells us to take out the coax cable and instead use the new A/V--Red, Blue and Green cables, AND LEAVES.....AGAIN!. WE, more precisely, our son, had to install them on both T.V.'s because tech guy had another home to do and didn't have the time. My son did it.....we now have FIOS cable--in HD, thanks to our son!
     Third, I would like to drop my AOL and my son would like to drop his MSN and we would both like to use Verizon for our homepage and receive email through them now. We've read the FIOS internet and TV user guide and WE STILL cannot figure out how to switch over. I did manage to get my Verizon.net email and have used TrueSwitch, But we're afraid of cancelling our AOL and our son is afraid of cancelling his MSN for fear we won't be able to log on to a homepage. There's no icon on our desktops for Verizon's homepage. Tech service has been no help. My son has no clue how he can change from his MSN homepage from to Verizon Central because there is no mention on how to do that in the book or on any of the help pages. He has no clue how to change his account (email, homepage etc), from MSN to Verizon. The book is unclear and hard to follow. The help sites are the same. Links don't work, downloads won't download. I have a college degree and can't even follow these directions! It makes me want to cancel the whole thing and go back to regular cable. There's not even a button to log off the FIOS internet on my computer or on my son's computer. I think FIOS has been running for 2 days--even when the computers are shut off. Is it supposed to do that?

Verizon has no way of knowing what your PC has prior to showing up... It is assumed that your PC's are already up to snuff as probably 99% of PC's now-a-days have a Ethernet card built in... Since your Pc's did not have the hardware neccesary to use the sevice, you are responsible for your PC's... The field tech is not responsible for installing third party equipment of any kind

That was wrong, the Field tech shoudl have setup your HD box with your HDTV witht he proper HD cords, the first time... and certainly should have done so the second time
     Third, I would like to drop my AOL and my son would like to drop his MSN and we would both like to use Verizon for our homepage and receive email through them now.
    Feel free to cnacel the other guys... Verizon is your Internet Service Provider.... The Internet is already being provided.... AOL and MSN are mearly Content providers... To set you home page inside internet explorer, click on Tool and then itnernet options... you will see the section for homepage... type in www.verizon.net or whatever you want it to be

I have some residual songs from a US account that I want to upgrade to plus but it says I have to wait 6 months before switching accounts back

So a while back I used an itunes voucher to buy songs but it was with a US account (my brother in-laws) Now I want to upgrade that part of my libray to itunes+.
I have allready done this but only for my UK account. To do the US account I would have to wait six months before switching back to the UK one I think.
Anyone have a suggestion?

Switching accounts is extremely slow in Leopard

I've just updated my iMac to Snow Leopard and all seemed work fine until i decide to switch to another account I have on my Mac: logging out and logging into an account is extremely slow and seems to freeze leopard (it requires about 2 minutes to switch and there are no possibility to control the machine). Someone experienced the same problem or can help me?
I've looked around my configurations and all look fine...I think!
Thanks in advance!

The second disk is the one where I've Time Machine configured to start backups. It looks like Snow isn't able to correctly access the disk. I've never experienced something like that with Leopard. I will try to initialize the disk again with Snow and let you know soon.
Anyway, I'll check inside my console again if there are more errors on third part software.
Ciao
