Tiger freezes after entering password

Help! Just installed Tiger and thought all went fine, but after I enter my administrator password the "working icon" just spins away and the computer won't respond to any keys. How do I get past the password screen and fix this problem? Thanks in advance!

Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If that works post back for further advice.
Next step, if safe mode did not work.
First: Try a clean install, (you have had a none standard version installed previously) that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
See
* this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Second: try a New Profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
* this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
**[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

Uggh, it's so frustrating! I've googled every search phrase I can think of and this seems to be the only thread describing this exact issue. I'm always automatically logged into Facebook on my MBP but just to be sure I logged out and back in and it worked fine.
I gotta say, I wasn't a fan of the Droid I had preceding this iPhone, and from what I hear the iPhone app for FB is a thousand times better - not that I'd know personally because I can't log in!! - but I could always access my FB account on the droid. Just sayin...

Perhaps a login items issue.
Open System Preferences - Accounts then select the Login Items tab.
Delete all items by clicking then click -
If there's nothing listed there, go to /Library/Startup Items. Move any files in the Startup Items folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

I have reset my apple ID and password again still get a message when trying to download "cannot sign in" after entering password?

How do I download apps when I keep getting a message "cannot sign in" after entering my password ?

Hey sklingen,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues signing into FAceTime. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
You may also want to reset your network settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.
Thanks,

BM 3.9 VPN Client Freezes when entering password

When Running Border Manger 3.8 and 3.9 with the client on XP, the Client PC will freeze after two letters are typed into the password field. The PC must be rebooted and sometimes that helps, sometimes not.

You mean CLNTRUST is running on the PC?
And, I assume you are having a problem when doing SSL proxy
authentication in a web browser? (Which means CLNTRUST is not working
- see tip #15 at the URL below).
Or, so you mean there is a Client32 problem when logging into the PC?
Have a look at tip #1 at the URL below. Make sure at least you have
the correct patches on.

Slim freezes after entering login information

I have a strange problem with Slim. I've used it for a while and everything has always worked fine (indeed, a different computer with similar setup is still fine), but two weeks ago I couldn't log in. The problem did not develop after an update of slim. I haven't found any similar symptoms described in the forums or wiki.
I start slim through the inittab method, and I usually boot into awesome, but sometimes into openbox, so I followed the instructions for setting up slim for multiple environments. Booting into either worked fine previously.
Now when booting, I can get to slim fine. If I immediately enter my user info and then hit "enter" to start the default WM (which is awesome), then slim just freezes. The user and password box disappear, but the background remains, and nothing else happens. I need to use ctl-alt-F1 to login again from tty and reboot. The strange thing is that if after booting, I enter my user info into slim and then hit "F1" then I can select awesome and boot normally. But just hitting enter after user and password (which should boot the default WM, which is awesome) without selecting awesome from F1 causes the freeze. Also, if I use F1 to select openbox, I get the same freeze.
I have tried modifying my .xinitrc just to open awesome rather than using the multiple-environment setup (see below), and with this .xinitrc, I still got the freezing problem, but obviously couldn't get around it by using F1.
Finally, if I get into awesome using the F1 method and then logout of awesome to go back to slim, then logging in to either awesome without hitting F1 or even logging in to openbox work fine. Very strange.
My slim.log has absolutely nothing useful in it. Here are the last lines from the last 7 boots (the ones where it says "Slim: unexpected signal 15" are the ones where I had to use tty to reboot, the others are where I've booted successfully).
slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.
slim: unexpected signal 15
slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.
slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.

slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.
slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.
slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.
slim: unexpected signal 15
slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.
Here's my .xinitrc. When testing whether the multiple-environment setup was the problem, I commented everything except the last line (which I uncommented) and still had the same problem.
#xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/local
#xset fp rehash

# exec dbus-launch openbox-session

Here's my slim.conf. Everything should be the default settings except for the login command (where I added "dbus-launch") and the sessions line where I specify options for awesome and openbox.

# above, so your login command can handle different sessions.

# current theme, use comma separated list to specify a set to
# randomly choose from
current_theme default
# Lock file
lockfile /var/lock/slim.lock
# Log file
logfile /var/log/slim.log
Anyway, I can get around this by using F1, but it is somewhat of a pain as sometimes I forget. Any ideas?

I'm having a very similar problem. My post is in the newbie corner forum. So far, I have not found a solution.

I solved my problem - slim was not the last daemon I started in rc.conf. By moving it to the end, I get password auto-focus and everything works.
Now my rc.conf looks like
# DAEMONS
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus acpid @network @wicd @openntpd @cupsd @crond slim)
I found this recommendation in the Display Manager wiki page while researching the problem:
Ensure you start the display manager last in the DAEMONS array, otherwise X will later allocate a tty device which was previously claimed by Getty (see /etc/inittab). Not placing the display manager at the end can cause X crashes, and is therefore unsupported.
I'd just been lucky before that there wasn't a conflict.
There is a "flicker" during login where I'm shown the XFCE splash, then the SLIM splash again, then the XFCE desktop. Not sure what's going on there, but it's no big deal.
Cheers,

Blank Screen after entering password

I seem to be encountering an intermittent issue when entering my password at logon.
I would enter the password and the little ‘busy’ circle would spin attempting log in but after a few seconds rather than seeing my desktop I just have a blank screen.
I can adjust the volume and hear the sound going up/down, but I cannot see anything.
If I restart or shut down the device, and then attempt to log in again sometimes the same issue happens or sometimes it logs into the desktop.
I have taken the device to an apple store for them to look into, disk diagnostics were performed and the OS X was re-installed but they then brought it down to a hardware issue without specifying which hardware.
I got a replacement MPB Retina however the problem still happens on that device pointing towards the OS X.
Is anyone else having this issue, have Apple recognised the problem and will there be a fix?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have a MacBook Pro that worked perfectly well on Snow Leopard. However since upgrading to Mountain Lion, and it's updates, I have experienced a number of problems, including grey screens when changing from one account to another. Force shutdowns are required to get back to normal. I wonder is a re-installation of ML would fix the problems, but I don't know how to do that. I have made a bootable copy from the installer, but would like some guidance on replacing 10.8.2 with 10.8.1.

After upgrading to Tiger, freeze after waking from sleep on PM G4

My experience with Tiger in the past week as not been great. The reason I upgraded was to get iSync 2.1, so that my Moto E815 phone could be sync'd with my OSX AddresBook and iCal. This wasn't possible with the latest version of Panther.
So, I upgraded to Tiger 10.4.3, and now my G4 freezes immediately after waking from sleep. After pressing the 'return' key to wake the computer, the G4 sends a signal to wake the monitor, but on top of the screen saver is a black text box which states there was a problem I must press (and hold) the power button to restart the Mac. It's written in four languages.
When I installed Tiger, I used the 'archive' option.
My computer is a bit of a FrankenMac: Originally a G4/350 with AGP, upgraded with a Sonnet 1GHz G4 processor card, 1.12GB RAM, a 160GB HDD, an nVidia GeForce3 64MB AGP video card, Samsung DVD/CR-RW drive (Patchburn3) and a Belkin PCI card with 2 additional Firewire ports and 3 additional USB 2.0 ports. When I performed the upgrade, I had the keyboard and mouse plugged into the case USB 1.1 ports, a Logitech Notebook Pro USB camera plugged into the other case USB 1.1 port, and a D-Link BT120 USB->BT adapter plugged into one of the three USB 2.0 ports on the Belkin PCI card.
When I check the Console logs after the rebooting, I see a kernal panic in the panic.log. Apple has received this a number of times from me in the past week as I keep sending them 'talkback' logs after the fact.
I also see an error in the system.log which may reveal what is going on:

I suspect the problem where the USB devices are started, because I had that Bluetooth adapter plugged in at the time of the upgrade. I'm speaking of the lines in the log which start with 'USBF'. The keyboard and mouse are useless when the black screen shows up after waking from sleep.
I've tried some of the suggestions I've found for the iBook 'wake from sleep' postings on macfixit.com and here - resetting NVRAM and removing a few of the .plist files. This didn't seem to help.
I would greatly appreciate help in resolving this issue. I've been a Mac owner since the original Macintosh (it's still in my house) and am frustrated that this is the first problem I've encountered.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks. In fact I had bought a new keyboard and mouse (Macally) and sure enough, if I unplug it before it reboots, the CD drive door stays closed and I can boot from a CD! I did not try any of the other stuff. Is there any way to get it to stop this? Why does a USB peripheral cause the CD to eject anyway? Would love to know!

AirOS (from Ubiquiti) cannot open after entering password with firefox.

Firefox cannot enter the webbased application (AirOS) from ubiquiti networks. This application is used for controlling (control panel) the devices.
In the previous version of Firefox (4.x and below) it can open normally. But in version 5.0 and above it is only open the Login screen. Then after user enter the "User Name" and "Password" the application stack and cannot open the control panel.
I hope it can be fix ASAP. Thank you

>>the user name and password dialog box will pop up; data can be entered, but the "OK" button does not seem to function.
Is OK button disable? if not ...Does it provide any warning when you click on OK without entering user name or password?
>>When the "cancel" button is clicked the message regarding unable to connect to server appears.
This is generic warning.
