Why do I have the gray linen sign in screen?
Please help: Using mid-2011 Imac, upgrading to Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion (12F37), I have had THREE different sign-in screens: first Gray Flannel, then Light Blue and now Gray Linen. I do not know what caused these changes; Apple Care's tech advised: "Don't worry, be happy."
I'd be less worried and more happy if somebody could tell me more about this. Many thanks.
I have file vault 2 enabled. I do not have multiple monitors and never have had. There are no other users except myself.
The Light Blue log in screen is for users who are part of a managed network...does not apply to me (so far as I know...unless somebody adopted me in a hostile takeover am I totally unaware of -- aka "via hacking") either.
Therefore, I am multiply stumped.
I'd imagine Grey Linen is a bit of a step up from Light Blue; however maybe not in the case that a connection to some kind of "virtual" monitor might exist?

Why do I have a gray strip in the middle of my iPad?
Why do I have a gray strip down the middle of my iPad?
New iPad? Some of them have screen issues. I just returned one that had a gray strip down the left side. Actually, I had two like that. It was difficult for me to find a new iPad without screen issues. I actually never did. I gave up at new iPad #6. It's probably best to just bring it to an Apple store (if possible) to have it looked at. They might just swap it for you.

Why I dont have the OS X instead DVD with my MacBook pro?
Why I dont have the OS X instead DVD with my MacBook pro?
If you were running 10.7 or later, and had a normal install, there are two ways to get there
Command-R at Startup is the usual method.
Option key at Startup draws a gray screen and puts up an Icon for each Bootable Volume. Among them should be Recovery_HD. Choose that and proceed.
The Recovery_HD partition is treated as a special case, and is NOT shown by default in Disk Utility. There are parameters you can change to get Disk Utility to show all partitions. -
I can't get the laptop to start. I get to the gray linen screen with a gray apple and stop. It will not ask for log in.
What do I do now?Hold the shift key at boot time, then run through this list, did you install anything recently or perform a update of some third party software? Uninstall it.

Why don't have the MAC computers a hard video card????.....in this case all of my friends buy PC....Because they can buy a PC with 2 GB video card
It partly has to do with form factor. To get a Mac Mini, iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air as slim as they are, the video is always integrated into the main board. Windows laptops are the same way for the same reason. They aren't designed to have a video card that can be swapped out.
The only way to buy a Mac with an actual card is the Mac Pro, where you currently have a choice of the ATI Radeon HD 5770, or an upgrade to the 5870.
Most PCs are towers, which by design always use a video card, so you can choose pretty much whatever you want to stick in it. More than that, PCs still use plain ol' BIOS, which greatly increases the choices of cards available.
Mac Pros don't have that luxury. Video cards for the Mac need Mac firmware on them to be recognized during startup by Open Firmware in older Macs, and EFI in newer Macs. While it's the same PCI 2.x slot, you can't just slap any video card you want in there. -

The response seems to be simple.

As on this forum you will met only users trying to help other users, no one would be able to tell you if what we got is a bug or a design flaw.
Like many of us,
*Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu*, describe what you wish: a way to define the default format used as Automatic date/time.

May i ask why all linksys have the same password.
May i ask why all linksys have the same password. i just edit my password. some one did hack in to my router. next time you make a router. give password out that not the same. some just hack in to my. it fix now. i lost net for 3hr.
You have to understand that linksys produces an amazing amount of routers. They frequently come out with new models and revisions. It would be a very confusing process for each model/version to have a different username and password.
Using a shared default username and password makes the life of computer techs easier because we know what it will be, assuming the user hasn't changed the defaults.
It's absolutely your responsibility to change your default password when you setup your router. Just as it's essential to setup security on your wireless router when you install it. If you're router is being hacked from the outside I would greatly recommend setting up WPA encryption on your router to help stop this in the future.

What do you think of the gray linen background?
Apple has always been known for cool design. I'm surprised at the dull appearance of the gray linen background behind the login screen. What do you think of it? I know there is a hack for changing it, but perhaps if enough people complain, Apple could provide some easy to configure alternatives.
To each his/her own, but this is something I couldn't care less about. I'm at the login screen just for a second or two - to enter my password to login.

TS2570 I have the gray screen problem with the white apple and spinning wheel
I have the gray screen problem when it boots to the white apple and spinning wheel, but when I tried safe booting and doing the fsck thing I think I only made it worse, because it now starts, the safe mode progress bar comes on, (no matter if I press any keys or not) and after a minute shuts down again by itself. I also tried the command option, p, r thing and that did not work either, only brought me to the gray screen with the white apple, spinning wheel, and bar, and it promptly shut down. I am thinking more and more that I need the disk, but im not sure I have it. is it possible to order a new one online or is there another thing I can try? there is not an apple store nearby, and ereasing my data is not an option.
Also Im not sure what my exact opporating system is, but I did buy and download mountainlion in August so It is pretty newWelcome to the Apple Support Communities
The hard disk is damaged. Take the Mac to an Apple Store -

Why does my macbook have the gray screen when it starts up?
my macbook pro has just started doing this - i keep it plugged in most of the time, and this has never been a problem for my previous macbook or before with this macbook until recently. every time i shut my laptop, and then open it later, it brings me to the gray screen with a white bar that loads pretty quickly, and then it brings me to my password login page. however, it takes a little longer for my mouse/cursor to be functional at this screen. any idea why this is happening? i have never had it do this before so i am not sure what is going on because i haven't been doing anything differently.
