Upgraded to Leopard now password issue

OK I upgraded to Leopard on my G5 and cant log in with my password . I have read this forum and tried some of the related password issues when upgrading to Leopard . I can only log on when I use the root password I created , I think that the main issue with this is in the keychain . How do I disable the whole log in password so That when I turn the computer on it just boots up with out a password as it did before I did the upgrade .
Thanks Mike...

You can use the Leopard upgrade disc to reset the passwords. Follow the instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
To start up in a user account rather than with a login, go to System Preferences -> Accounts. You should be able to change the pull-down menu next to "Automatic Login" to be one of the users or the administrator. This will require you to unlock the little lock and enter your password--which you may need to reset as noted above. Good luck!

  • Upgraded to Leopard, now LEAP doesn't work

    I upgraded to Leopard over the weekend and came into work this morning only to find that LEAP authentication doesn't work anymore. It tries to connect then says "See administrator" which I would do except... I am the **** administrator.
    Luckily Tiger machines are still working around the office. Anyone have any idea why LEAP is now even worse than it was in Tiger?
    Oh and I did try the deleting that kext trick and it is still no good. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

    Just a quicky update to everyone. I'm posting this from another Mac running Leopard right now with a clean install that has to be hard wired since the LEAP authentication does not work. So I don't think there is a difference between an upgrade install and a clean install - it just flat out does not work.
    If there is someone out there from Apple that would like to work and test things with me then let me know. I have ready access to our enterprise network and I can try things out with in house machines or my own. Seems like something like this should have been tested before releasing it to the public.
    Here is some information about this SSID:
    Authentication supported is LEAP
    Encryption supported is WPA Enterprise and WPA2 Enterprise
    Exact problem:
    Network Name: MyNetworkSSID
    Security: WPA2 Enterprise
    User Name: MyUserName
    Password: MyPassword
    802.1X: Automatic
    This will just flat out fail.
    Then if you go under advanced, click on 802.1X, then change the domain to User. Then add a new configuration called WPA: SSID (where SSID is your own SSID) then enter your username, password, wireless network (use the SSID), and check off LEAP authentication and uncheck everything else.
    Then go back to picking a network, enter the SSID, pick the new configuration you just created instead of the Automatic setting and it will authenticate via LEAP BUT it will get a self-assigned IP address.
    So from there I'm lost. I can get it to KINDA work but not really. On my ACS server I can see my ID is successfully authenticating and then there is no real traffic after that - like the Mac just stops talking after that.
    I'm open to suggestions though and I'll try whatever people throw at me. It would be REALLY nice to get this working before the end of December at the very least because I have projects that sort of depend on it.

  • Just upgraded to Leopard now I get constant kernal panics!

    I just upgraded my G4 PPC to 10.5.8. I can do things okay on my computer for a while then it does the kernal panic. All updates have been done except the prokit 5 one (I use logic and the last upgrade messed with it). Could this be causing the issue? Here is the info.

    First, I would disconnect all peripherals except the original Apple keyboard and mouse. Boot the computer into safe mode if possible and do the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your currently installed OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Now, you did not indicate if this upgrade to 10.5.8 was from an earlier version of Leopard or if you first upgraded to Leopard then to 10.5.8 using the combo updater. I'm assuming the former, so after you've done the above repairs reinstall the 10.5.8 Combo Updater. If you did not use a Combo Updater, then you can download it from support.apple.com/downloads/.
    If the above doesn't help then I would suggest reinstalling OS X as follows:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
    And, if the above doesn't help start looking at the probability of bad RAM.

  • Help! Upgraded Snow Leopard now I can't even log in

    Just upgraded Snow Leopard(I think it was the update from 10.6 -> 10.6.2) on my Macbook pro via the software updater. At the end of the installation I got a message saying that there was an error and the update didn't install correctly. I restarted the mac normally and got a log in screen (which I never had previously). I enter my password correctly and then get a blue screen for a few seconds before it brings up the login page again. I can't find a way around this. I know I have entered the password correctly because the login screen doesn't shake.

    You have a hosed installation. Step one is to try to boot into safe mode. Details in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455 If able, then download the 10.6.2 COMBO update and reinstall it. Hopefully, that will fix the issues. If not, boot with your SL install disc and reinstall 10.6.0. Alternatively, restore the bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup of your previous installation. See these for details:

  • Upgraded to Leopard, Now Constantly Dropping Shared Drive

    Just bought Leopard and upgraded. Have had a 1000-Gig hard disk set up for shared access through my Airport Extreme. Until now, all has been well. But with the Leopard upgrade, my Mac is constantly dropping the connection with the hard drive.
    Any ideas?
    .

    Hi,
    This issue has to do with the TC Konnect. Please refer this question to the TC Electronics people.
    Cheers

  • Upgraded to leopard, now iPhoto is gone

    Hello,
    I upgraded my parents' computer to leopard (my mum tried and messed a bunch of stuff up so I just wiped it all and started afresh) and now iphoto is gone. We used to have it on this computer, and when I upgraded my computer iphoto came with it. I'm not sure how to fix this and since iPhoto is one of their favorite features I really need to fix it soon. Does anyone have some advice?
    Thanks in advance,

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    It’s on the System Restore disks that came with the computer. Isert and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only’.
    Regards

  • Upgraded to Leopard, now fonts on clip ids in browser window unreadable

    Running FCE 2.0.2. Program works fine, I just can't read the titles of my clips in the bin in the browser window anymore. They're there, just kind of tiny and bold and mush. Is there a way to reset the display font in the bin/browser window? Ideas????
    Thanks, James

    Wait for 10.5.1, I guess, but you really can't expect FCE2 to run well on Leopard.

  • Lost all autofill usernames & password after migration & upgrade to leopard

    I recently got a new imac, migrated all my old info to the new machine, then upgraded to leopard. now safari has none of my previous usernames & passwords stored in autofill preferences. can i go back to my old machine and find a prefernce list or something to put on my new imac so i don't have to go refigure all my usermanes & passwords?
    i transferred from the old half-dome imac to a new 24" imac, which i LOVE!!

    Be sure to use software update to get the latest version of Leopard 10.5.1. Then, if the passwords still do not appear, try this:
    I found this answer on another discussion question.
    Open Utilities:Keychain Access
    Click on Passwords in left column
    Scroll down to "Safari Forms Autofill" and double-click
    Open access control window
    Click radio button that says "Allow all applications to access this item"
    Close window--you will be prompted for your password.
    Note: this works for other items in the password window.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse keeps freezing after upgrading to Leopard

    My bluetooth mighty mouse has frequent, intermittent freezes (which appear to be a loss of sync to the iMac) after upgrading to Leopard (now 10.5.1) from 10.4.11 on my iMac 24" alum body. This mouse was rock solid on my iMac running Tiger. Luckily I do have a corded mouse which I've been forced to use the past week or so.
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    Thanks.

    I was just trying to help my Dad with the same exact issue (Mighty Mouse stops working on waking from sleep & trying to open bluetooth prefs at that point causes the system to lock up. Have to hold down power button to reboot)
    Oddly I have Leopard on my iMac 2.16 Core 2 Duo and have no issues with my Mighty Mouse.
    Hopefully someone comes up with an answer .... My Dad is 80 and just bought a new Powerbook and Mighty Mouse. It's hard to explain why the mouse doesn't work.

  • Leopard iChat 4 Issues - Breaks Apple Extreme Base Station Connection

    I recently upgraded to Leopard (now running 10.5.1) and I'm having major issues with iChat 4. iChat worked fine using Tiger. I can successfully audio chat, screen share, text and use all other functionality of iChat, but video chatting always locks up.
    When starting a video chat, it usually lasts anywhere from 2 to 12 seconds and then locks completely. Not only does the chat stop working, but my Airport Extreme Base Station stops working as well. I lose all internet connectivity. I still get the green light like everything is fine with the router, but my network connection is completely broken. I can't even log into the base station using the airport utility. I have to unplug it to get it working again. In iChat I always get the error that says something like "there was no traffic for 10 seconds".
    I have tried changing bandwidth settings in iChat and Quicktime. I have tried deleting cache files. I have tried deleting plist files and nothing corrects the issue.
    I see that other folks have had similar problems, but noone else is using Airport Base Station as far as I can tell and noone seems to have issues the their router not working after iChat locks.
    When I upgraded to Leopard, I did a clean install and then imported settings and files from tiger on a backup drive. Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi,
    I would make sure the Mac Firewall is On and iChat allowed.
    iChatAgent should appear later.
    If it was set before the 10.5.1 update I would set it to Allow All then reset the Specific apps after deleting the ones there already.

  • Upgraded to yosemite and now having password issues and slow start up

    I have upgraded my macbook pro to the OS X Yosemite operating system and now encountering start up and password issues.
    Previously on start up my system would go to the log on icon within 10 to 15 seconds of pushing the on button. Now there is horizontal loading indicator bar appearing and takes about 30seconds to 1 minute to go away before getting to the log on screen and if I click on my icon the system goes live on screen without having to put in a password which is an obvious security issue.
    I have tried adding a password however each time I try to put my old password in it tells me it is the wrong one.
    I am operating Yosemite 10.10.2 on a macbook pro with 8gb memory with i7 processor..
    The computer was running perfectly ok before this up grade so I had resisted previous prompts to upgrade due to the bad press this system was getting last year. I thought Apple would have had this all sorted by now??
    I  would appreciate any help if anyone knows how to resolve these issues.

    Install the version of Java they want from here: Java for OS X 2014-001
    See if CS 5.1 launches.
    If not reinstall CS5.1 and any updates.

  • Upgraded to Leopard - I have one iTunes issue now...

    I upgraded to Leopard last night and all went well. This morning I tried deleting a few unwanted songs from iTunes. As soon as I click delete and/or try the delete button on the keyboard, iTunes freezes and shuts down, prompting me to relaunch or report the problem to Apple. This happened about 5-6 times. Anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks!!

    Here is a workaround for not being able to delete songs from the library when iTunes freezes...
    Drag the song from the music folder into the trash bin and empty it so the file is deleted completely...Then you can delete the song from your iTunes library (hopefully)...it works for me...
    Also, my iTunes freezes and shuts down if I'm in iTunes and use the mouse buttons to start Exposé...so many fun problems with Leopard...argh...

  • Upgraded to snow leopard, now safari scrolls a page down when space bar is hit and sometimes crashes.  Any ideas for a fix?

    I just upgraded to the new snow leopard, now my Safari is acting loopy.  At times, the page will scroll down when I hit the space bar.  As I type this discussion the screen isn't paging down, but if I go to the tab where I have facebook loaded and hit the space bar, it acts as a page down key.  I've had safari crash about 5 times tonight for no apparent reason.  The delete key sometimes will act as a page back key.  I really have no idea whats going on. 
    I've had keyboards go wacko on me before due to something being spilled on them or a wireless problem, but this keyboard is a wired keyboard and nothing was spilled on it.  It's rather new and I'm quite certain it's not a keyboard issue. 
    No settings have been changed on the computer.  The only thing different today from yesterday, is the fact that I upgraded to snow leopard.
    Help would be pretty sweet.   
    Thanks,

Maybe you are looking for
