What happened to my login page after display sleep?

I'm not sure what happened but whenever my display goes to sleep and I click the trackpad to turn it back on, a dialog box shows up asking for my password. Prior to two days ago, when I woke the display the login screen would pop up with my user icon (just like the initial login screen, but without Guest), but now it's just the dialog box with a black screen. Anyone have any idea how this happened, or how to get it back to the way it was? I'm running OSX 10.8.4.

Okay. I am still convinced a firmware password. Safe mode wouldn't be a surefire test of this, I was wrong...this would be a test for open firmware password (applicable to machine up to 2010), not EFI password (2011 +). Try Booting into Recovery Mode (command + R) or hold down option at start and select the recovery partition. Are you prompted for a password? If so, there is a fimrware password set and only Apple would be able to unlock your machine. If not, I am out of suggestions. Please test and reply. Thanks.

  • What happened to our web services after upgrading to 701?

    Hi,
    We started using web services on a 700 server. Looks something like this.
    SAP_ABA     700     0018     SAPKA70018     Cross-Application Component
    SAP_BASIS     700     0018     SAPKB70018     SAP Basis Component
    PI_BASIS     2005_1_700     0018     SAPKIPYJ7I     PI_BASIS 2005_1_700
    We could create a proxy in vb.net and call our SAP web services like this:
            Dim ws As New sapserver.webservice1
            Dim input As New sapserver.ZGetuname
            Dim output As New sapserver.ZGetunameResponse
            out2 = ws.ZGetuname(input)
    After upgrading to nw ep 7.1, which looks like this.
    SAP_ABA     701     0007     SAPKA70107     Cross-Application Component
    SAP_BASIS     701     0007     SAPKB70107     SAP Basis Component
    PI_BASIS     701     0007     SAPK-70107INPIBASIS     Basis Plug-In
    We no longer get the same input and ouput classes generated for us when consuming the service. It looks like it is now expected to be called like a function    ws.ZGetuname( param 1, param 2).
    We would like to be able to generate the proxy the same way as before. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    What happened to the file numbers after switching to Photos. It would be nice to still have the file numbers show.
    You mean, the filename with the number on the card?
    Photos does not use the filenames as a title, when displaying the thumbnails. The filename will only show in the Info panel.
    Copy the filenames to the title field in the Info panel and then enable "Metadata" in the View menu.
    I wrote a script to copy the filenames automatically to the title field,  see:

  • What happens to migrated idisk files after June 30th.

    what happens to migrated idisk files after June 30th?

    Just to be clear, there are no 'migrated files'. If you migrate, the iDisk remains untouched and accessible exactly as before (though you may need to sign in at System Preferences>MobileMe again). Whether or not you migrate, the iDisk will be teminated at the end of June and its contents erased.
    iCloud does not provide any equivalent facility, so you will need to find a third-party solution. This page examines some options:

  • Redirecting user to login page after session expiry

    Hi,
    Default session expiry implementation in sap EP6.0 doesn't work properly. To overcome this, we have implemented one component where we check the idle time and throw the user back to the login page if the idle time has exceeded the session expiry period. This component has been added to desktop inner page as an iView. Following is the logic put in this component.
    IAuthentication ia = UMFactory.getAuthenticator();
    ia.logout(httpRequest, httpResponse);
    httpResponse.sendRedirect("/irj/portal");
    We are successfully getting the login page after session expiry. Issue is, our portal server is running on 11111 port. We cannot change this to 80 on unix because of unix limitations for the port number. So we have put one apache web server before our portal server. Apache web server is listening on port 80 and forwarding the request to our portal server.
    Now when user is redirected to the login page, url being shown in the browser is http://<host_name>:11111/irj/portal but I am expecting http://<host_name>/irj/portal (without port). I have tried putting the full url in sendRedirect() method but that too doesn't work.
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Chandra

    Hi Chandra,
    Let the URL be relative in the sendRedirect i.e.
    httpResponse.sendRedirect("/irj/portal");
    However since you have a Reverse proxy in front, the response header for redirect will not contain the address of the reverse proxy in this case, your servername without port. You have to properly configure your reverse proxy so that the HTTP Headers are changed properly before sending the response to the users.
    Check this URL,
    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse
    This gives you the details on configuring your apache.
    Hope this helps.

    P.S. If this helps please reward points.

  • What happened to the 30 inch Cinema display?

    What happened to the 30 inch Cinema display?
    I went into the Apple store to purchase one, all they had was the (too small) 27 inch with the ugly black border.
    I did find a few used 30 inch Cinema displays on ebay, they are over $1100 USED.
    Any suggestions, for a 30 inch display?

    No suggestions, apart from changing to a non-Apple display such as a LaCie one.
    I think Apple really makes a mistake with the new displays - they are nifty, granted, if you want to watch TV or the like, but they'll loose the professionals, working all day long with their displays.
    1. the new displays have an excellent resolution, no trouble there, but they are like mirrors, reflecting lamps, etc. and very tiring for the eyes. That's already a problem with my MacBook Pro but I've got to accept it - what else is there to do - and fortunately it's only my secondary system.
    2. we have gotten used to 30" and do not want to downgrade.
    I am a translator and need to work with technical plants and several open files, so 30" really helped facilitate work. And now that's all gone as the 27" display definitely is not up to scratch for day-long work...
    I ordered a 30" display right when it became available, so it's quite old now. I worry what I'll do when it breaks down ...

  • What happened to ADOBE workspaces files after being downloaded before retirement?

    What happened to ADOBE workspaces files after being downloaded before retirement?

    I had this problem as well! I was working on one of several projects I had, I'm pretty sure they were saved on the computer, my computer started to chug, I reset it, and they ALL disappeared! I can't find any of the files anywhere on the hard drive, but I also can't sign into the cloud to see if they somehow got moved. I reset again, and still nothing.
    When I try to log into the cloud it tells me the sync failed. Since I only just signed up for the subscription I don't know if it's common for it to go down, or what.

  • What happened to my login profile password?

    I recently had my hard drive replaced at my local Apple Store. The drive was failing and my iMac is covered under AppleCare so it was no cost to me and because my iMac is two years old, i got an upgrade from 320 GB stock drive to the current standard 500GB. I returned home and was surprised to find that they recovered ALL of my information. I am thankful for this. The ONLY difference is the login profile pictures have been changed. I thought this seemed normal considering the circumstances, yet when i logged into my profile, the only profile with a password, it did not require a password. I want to make sure my profile has a password on it, and now it doesn't. I go to change it in System Preferences and it requires me to enter my old password. I enter my old password, with my login profile name, and it says it is incorrect. I looked online and found somewhere that Apple Stores are not allowed to change your passwords. I understand in this case that they may have had to, but since it is policy, i assume they did not. If so, what happened to my password? I also see online that you can change a forgotten password by inserting the Mac OSX Install Disk, restarting and changing it there. I began to do this process, but stopped, seeing as before the Restart, it asks me for my login name and password in order to change information. I will try this process, but my original question remains. "What happened to my login profile password?"

    *UPDATE 2*
    so i realized that they changed the admin on my computer, OR when they put all my stuff back on my computer, it automatically made the admin by alphabetical order, since my (old admin) profile is second on the list. i dont understand why the admin profile would change. and there used to not be a keychain password on that profile. i cant even remove programs now. do i have to back up my files and wipe my computer? start from scratch?

  • Opens Webmail login page instead of sso login page after changing the webma

    Hi Gurus,
    I have setup notes webmail in portal which uses SSO. I login to portal and click the webmail link which opens the sso page for authentication(Cuz I have integrated the webmail to use SSO). I enter my username and password. Then it shows my emails, inbox..etc. I logout of portal, Go to Notes client on my PC and change my webmail password there. I go back to portal and log in and click the webmail link on the portal. Cuz I have changed the webmail password, I expected that it will open the SSO page and ask me to enter the password again. It didn't happen. Instead of opening eh SSO login page, It opens the Webmail login page with an error saying "Invalid User Name or Password". I am wondering why it opens the webamil login page instead the sso login page. I can still login to webmail If I enter the user name and new password. But it doesn't update the webmail password which is stored in the SSO. Please post a reply if you have some idea about fixing this.
    Thanks

  • What Happens to Mail on Leopard After Move to iCloud?

    Hi,
    I just ran the Lion update on my MacBook Air, which I use mostly for traveling, and am thinking of activating iCloud. The MacBook I use at home, however, is a few years old and only runs Leopard ... what will happen to my Mail programme after I move to the cloud? Will mail still be delivered and show up without me having to visit the iCloud website?
    I am hoping to buy a new iMac soon, so I don't want to upgrade from Leopard to Lion on my old MacBook.
    Thanks a lot!
    All the best,
    Jana

    Ok, so I just took the risk and moved to iCloud on my MacBook Air and the Mail programme on my old MacBook thankfully still seems to operate without any problems.

  • Web Authentication - Web login page not displayed

    Cisco 4402 WLC running version 5.2.193.0
    Access Points: AIR-LAP1142N
    I have configured an SSID for WebAuthentication. When a wireless client logs into the WLAN the PC will associate to the AP but will then stop at the WEBAUTH_REQD stage.
    Internet Explorer will show the attmept to redirect to the virtual port at 1.1.1.1 but will not bring up the login page.
    IE shows : https://1.1.1.1/login.html?redirect=www.google.co.ukhttp://www.google.co.uk/
    The network is a flat network so this SSID is using the management interface.
    DHCP is being provided by the controller for this WLAN.
    I know the classic design should be for this to be implemented on a separate VLAN but my customer has not VLANed his network yet and this is planned at a later stage. I have implemented this on a flat network before and it has worked.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    I faced exactly the same problem as you have described above. The following is what fixed it for me, i am sure u try it to might fix it for u as well.
    In my scenario i found that my WLC controller had cipher-option sslv2 disabled. I enabled it and that resolved the issue for me.
    This is what needs to be done in order to do it :-
    It's best to enable it on the WLC and this is done from the CLI. It requires a reboot.
    ssh to the WLC
    enter the following command:-
    WLC>config network secureweb cipher-option sslv2 enable
    and then reboot.
    Once the WLC reboots u can check the status by issuing the following command:-
    WLC>show network summary
    The output should look similar to the following
    RF-Network Name............................. GTCR-CH-RF-GA
    Web Mode.................................... Enable
    Secure Web Mode............................. Enable
    Secure Web Mode Cipher-Option High.......... Disable
    Secure Web Mode Cipher-Option SSLv2......... Enable
    As u can see the Secure Web Mode Cipher-Option SSLv2 is now enabled.
    This should work.
    Hope this helps and all the best.
