Hi guys, had a bit of an unusual occurance when upgrading from 10.5 to 10.6.
The login screen now shows as this:
(excuse auto image rotation!)
I've tried running Onyx to clear the font cache but it hasn't fixed the problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ian

AFAIK, rebuilds the font caches correctly. I never recommend something like Onyx, since I don't know what it's doing behind the scenes.

Hey NicolasZen,
Thanks for the question and welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you are experiencing issues with “No Service” or “Searching” on your iPhone. The following resource provides some great troubleshooting steps that you may wish to try:
iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4429
Your iPhone may have one of these symptoms:
- iPhone displays "No Service" or "Searching" in an area of good coverage
- iPhone doesn't regain service when returning to an area of coverage
Resolution
If you encounter either of the above symptoms on your iPhone, follow these steps to attempt to resolve the issue. Test after each step.
1. Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
2. Turn iPhone off and then on again.
3. Remove the SIM card and verify that it's a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it isn't damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
4. Check for a carrier-settings update. Connect to a Wi-Fi network. Then tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, iOS will ask you if you want to install it. If Wi-Fi isn't available, connect your device to iTunes.
5. Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
6. Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
7. Restore the iPhone.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I recently upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, but now all songs purchased from iTunes will not play via my phone. Any idea how to fix this problem?

I upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, after a few initial problems and two restores, everythings seemed to be working...until I went to play some music, all music loaded to itunes via CD's played, but ALL purchased music from itunes does not play...i click on the song and the screen flashes to the image then goes back to the list of songs, so the purchased music shows up...just does not play. Can anyone help resolve this problem? Thanks!

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

HT4528 i upgraded from an iphone to a Samsung galaxy and now i am unable to receive text messages now from iphone users.the iphones think that my number is still another iphone and always sends a message as imessage.

Upgraded from iphone to a Samsung and now i am unable to receive text messages from other iphone users unless they disable imessage .
Being my original number was on an iphone is why this is happening .
Please help. Almost everyone has an iphone

You should have turned iMessage off before disabling the phone. Do you still have the phone so you can turn iMessage off? If not, you will need to go to Apple support on their website and delete the product from your profile.

I upgraded from firefox 3.6 to 4.0. Now have to plug in all user name & passworgs to every website that asks me for it. Used to be automatic. Need a step by step to resolve it. Can you help ?

Upgrade from firefox 3.6 to 4.0.
Every website that have my username & password asks me for this info. before letting me in.
Need a step by step solution for this.
Thanks.

I, too had my book marks disappear when I upgraded to FF 4.0
I am now back and enjoying FF 3.6.17 (my original) yet I am still
without my book marks and am floundering trying to recoup.
Any help appreciated. If unable to see my book marks in the near
future I will definitely jump ship. It's too bad that FF people have
created this problem. I am mystified and disgusted with their actions.

Is there a way to hide users from the FileVault 2 ''main boot'' login screen?

After your entire disk is encrypted with FileVault 2, there is a now a ''main'' boot login screen with users displayed--after a full shutdown/restart--as opposed to a ''normal'' login screen when logging users in and out after booting into FileVault 2.
If that made any sense...there was a way to hide users from the ''normal'' login screen before by running this Terminal command:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow \ HiddenUsersList -array-add xxxx
(xxxx being a short user's name)
How do I do this now for the login screen that comes up on a full/shutdown restart?

Not really, but you can move them from the home screen to, say, the 4th, or 10th screens. But you do need to have at least one app in every screen on the phone. My idea was to have several blanks before the screen with her apps, but the phone doesn't allow this.
Sounds like time for the Iron Fist. ::grin:: Putting your foot down. Funny how those two descriptions don't quite match up. Our 5 year old son loves to use the iPhone, and with consistent training we have minimal trouble when he doesn't want to quit.
Have a great trip. Joel.

When I restart my computer instead of the gray screen that is supposed to appear before the login screen it shows a screen with a lot of letter

I upgrade my ssd for my macbook pro retina from the 256 to 480 GB but when I tunr it on or restarted the computer the gray screen that is suppost to apper dosent show insted a screen with lettler show before the login screen besides that the computer works fine.

I cannot decipher what is written on the images you have posted but they are reminiscent of what I have seen when a MBP is dealing with some totally incompatible software or perhaps in your case hardware.
How and or who installed the larger SSD and what manufacture is it. I suspect that is the problem.
Ciao.

Htmldb 2.0 login screen not showing proper screen and login does not happen

I installed htmldb 1.6 from the comapnion disk (10.2) and everything
worked fine. I could log into htmldb.
I then upgraded to htmldb 2.0 with no problems on the DB side.
I copied the images dierctory from the compaion disk to the right location
but when I try to log in I get a login screen that does not have the 2.0
splash screen and then when I type in my credentials nothing happens.
I am running:
[oracle10@testdb1 htmldb_2.0]$
/u01/oracle10/OraHome2/Apache/Apache/bin/httpd -version
Server version: Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.2.0.0

I copied the install image directory to this (as you can see)
I.e cp -rf htmldb/images /u01/oracle10/OraHome2
but when I log on to htmldb
(http://xxxx.domain:7777/pls/htmldb)
I get the htmldb logon screen but not the 2.0 splash screen. It's like
its not seeing the gif files.
I enter the workspace /username/password but nothing happens, no
errors, no web page cycle, nothing.......
[oracle10@testdb1 home]$ ls /u01/oracle10/OraHome2/htmldb/images/

It looks like your copy command was wrong.
cp -rf htmldb/images /u01/oracle10/OraHome2
will copy the images directory to /u01/oracle10/OraHome2, it won't copy htmldb/images.
You want to:
1) cp -rf htmldb/images /u01/oracle10/OraHome2/htmldb
2) Remove the directory /u01/oracle10/OraHome2/images that you created

Please help ASAP! I downloaded an app to change the Windows 10 login screen & now the screen flashes

I downloaded Windows 10 Login Background Changer and now when my laptop starts I can't even get to the login screen. After the Acer screen at startup, it says "Please Wait...." but then the screen just flashes continually. Please help ASAP! Thank you!

I did the exact same thing and had a very similar issue (flashing lock screen and couldn't get past the lock screen). I tried a system restore, resetting my PC, doing a clean install of Win10, and both methods of booting in SafeMode -- none of these methods worked. Called Microsoft several times; Level 1 tech told me to do a USB installation of Win10 (couldn't get my laptop to restart the way the USB installation needed); Level 2 tech told me to do a USB installation of Win8.1 (again did not work because my laptop could not restart properly). Gave up with tech support. The only way i was able to fix this problem was by choosing the "restore PC to factory settings" option. All your files and programs will be lost, but all of mine were already lost anyway after I tried doing a clean install of Win10. My laptop (S7-392) restored to Win8; I updated all my drivers and then made a recovery drive; did a USB installation of Win8.1, updated drivers and made another recovery drive. I have since done a USB installation of Win10 and upgraded my drivers. IF the same issue happens again i'll just end up reverting back to Win8.1 for a while.

My Aluminum iMac wont go to the login screen, just shows the Grey screen.

I have had my iMac for a little longer than a year, and the warranty expired last month. When i turn it on, i get the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning gear, it wont go to the login screen. I have restarted it a few times, but nothing is working. A few weeks ago I had a similar problem where i could only log into my guest account and not the main account on the computer, i restored my system from time machine and it has worked fine until today. The hard drive has been making weird noises for quite some time now, but i havn't had other problems besides that. What should I do?

I have done this many times, and it says that everything is fine. There is probably some hard drive problem from what i have heard, but i just restored the system from time machine again and everything is working...when I did this last time, within a week or two, it went back to the problem I had in my original question. I am thinking of reformatting the hard drive, and putting all of the files and programs that I need onto the external drive, so I can have a fresh start. Do you know if this might solve the problem? Are there any other options? Thanks

OIM 11g Login Screen not showing up

Hi,
I installed OIM 11g and could able to login successfully.Couple of days back,my database has got some problem and I solved it and restarted my OIM.OIM server is starting up but when I try to access the admin console,it is just saying "Loading" but the login screen is not getting displayed.
In the server log,I could see the following error during the server stop
"javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: java.lang.SecurityException: [Security:090304]Authentication Failed: User xelsysadm javax.security.auth.login.FailedLoginException: [Security:090302]Authentication Failed: User xelsysadm denied
at weblogic.security.auth.login.UsernamePasswordLoginModule.login(UsernamePasswordLoginModule.java:199)"
and the following error which accessing the admin console.
" [HTTP][java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError]] [dcid: 11d1def534ea1be0:41b34a55:12b9b675a66:-7ffd-0000000000000026] incident 20 created with problem key "BEA-101017 [HTTP][java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError]"
Any idea what might be going wrong?
Thanks,

What did you solve *? ? ?* That's where lies your solution. xelsysadm is being denied the access, so could be something on password front. If you have the DB backup, revert to an older state and it would be fine.

Using lion 10.7.4, can`t login as administrator or root (both enabled) at login screen. it shows other but when selected it will not accept correct entry.

using lion 10.7.4, can`t login at login screen as administrator or root user, both properly enabled. the option other will not take the proper entry. it will accept the standard user login.

Try resetting administrator password or resetting home folder ACL's for root user.
