Why won't login window display for OSX 10.8.5?

I work as a graphic designer. My co-worker and I have been having login issues with the iMacs (3.6 GHz Intel Core i5, OSX 10.8.5) we use. Our computers have CS6, MS Office, FlightCheck, StuffIt Deluxe, and Suitcase Fusion installed as the main applications. The computers are set to put the displays to sleep at a certain time and then require the user to login at that point. Except there are times when the login display won't pop up. I've been searching for and using work arounds like fixing the permissions, resetting the PRAM, unplugging the computer, and unplugging all peripherals. These work temporarily, but nothing has resolved the issue long term.
Has anyone experienced this login issue and resolved it?

Did that days ago with no success.
I have followed every instruction I can find, and even threatened both devices.  Nothing.
I've had Macs for 12 years so am no novice.
Alas, I was forced to get an IPhone 8 months ago because a client wanted to text me, and my flip phone wouldn't cut it.  It has been a source of continual aggravation.  All I want to do is text, make phone calls, and occasionally go on the Net.  No music, no photos, no e-mail, no games, no crazy apps, etc.  Simple.   Well you'd think so.
Genius Bar requires a 25-mile trip, so I turn to the communities first.

    more info would help. If you're using actionscript and
    loading images from a folder maybe your path to that location is
    wrong. It's possible that your images aren't in the right layer or
    level but noticed that when initially published.

  • TS2634 Why won't my screen orient for a movie on the dock?

    Why won't my screen orient for a movie on the dock?  It used to.

    Are you by any chance using Netfix when this happens. If you are, I believe that this changed in their last app update. The movies will only work in landscape mode.
    If you are not using Netfix and you are using the videos app, close the app and reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Login window displayed after logging in

    Since I upgraded to Yosemite I have had some problems with the login process.Hope somebody can help!
    Before upgrading I had my Users & Groups preference set to 'Display login window as Name and Password' and everything worked fine. However, since upgrading, when rebooting, I would be given the list of users, even though the preference was still name and password. If I logged in the system would boot, all of my login items would be started and then the name and password login screen would be displayed and I had to login again! I have tried changing the login option to 'List of users' and now I have exactly the same problem but I see the list of users on both occasions! It's a bit of a pain.
    It's not the end of the world as I leave the machine logged in most of the time but I would like to know what the problem is. I have tried resetting the SMC and NVRAM but it hasn't helped. The machine is a 2011 MacBook Pro and both a firmware password and filevault are enabled. I have another issue where my display keeps going to sleep, which is the subject of another thread on the forums, and I suppose this may be related as the preference in that case is to never let the display sleep.
    Any ideas would be gratefully received.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. Can you please explain why you think this will help before I spend all day Saturday trying it?

  • Why won't they make iTunes for us Linux users?

    There is a large community of Linux users. We have no ITunes nor anything that we can make purchases, upgrades, synch etc. Why won't Apple make iTunes available for ALL users. I keep an old desktop running Windows XP simply for iTunes. Is there a reason Linux users are ignored?

    iTunes does not support Linux. However, Wine may allow you to run iTunes. But you may encounter errors and problems. http://www.winehq.org/

  • IPhoto 11 (9.3) Why won't date range work for 2012?

    We upgraded to the new iMac and iPhoto 11 a couple weeks ago.
    The Smart Albums look to have converted correctly, including the ones I created for any one years' photos "All - 2011," "All - 2010," and "All - Best of 2009," etc.
    Those converted albums contain photos. That is good.  That another album does not contain photos is confusing.
    I created a new "All - 2012," with the criteria "Data is in the range 1/1/2012 to 12/31/2012," and get no photos.
    Scrolling up to "Last 12 months" shows 7,500+, ~ 3,600 of which are 2012.
    So I just tried something...
    "Date is after 1/1/2011" and got an album of all 2011 photos, stopping at New Years Eve / 12/31... there are no 2012 photos.
    Why won't it show 2012 photos?
    It's the same camera.  A large number of the 2012 photos converted into iPhoto; only a few weeks' worth have been imported into iPhoto straight from the camera since the conversion.
    I just don't see a pattern that's causing this.
    On a related note... in iPhoto '11, are the icons for all albums, events, Faces, etc. grey?  Or should the smart album icon be purple, regular albums blue, etc?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    On the basis of eliminating the obvious first - check the date reported on any of these shots, and the date on the camera.
    in iPhoto '11, are the icons for all albums, events, Faces, etc. grey?  Or should the smart album icon be purple, regular albums blue, etc?
    This is by design. iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and let them know what you think.

  • How to set password login window appear for 'Mac Mail' app?

    This is possible, when we remove the email password from my keychain using account preference. But some of our client wants login window password which is different from email password.
    Is this possible??

    no. but if you protect your iPhone with a password, I don't think you need a separate one just for your email.

  • Why won't iPhoto '11 display CR2 tags for Canon 7D raw files

    iPhoto '11 won't display CR2 tags for the raw files from my Canon 7D. I didn't have any problem with my Rebel ST or any previous version of iPhoto.
    Any help to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Allan

    What a pity you didn't make the clear in your initial post. Would have saved us both some time.
    It might also help to clarify some terminology. What you are calling the "image file number" is the Title of the photo. When you haven't added a tite, iPhoto uses the filename.
    You can easily sort Raws from jpegs as Raws are automatically tagged with a keyword on import. So a quick smart album will tell them apart.
    As to why it hasn't been fixed, you will have to ask Apple that question, no one here knows and Apple aren't here.

  • Why won't Firefox 4 on Mac OSX 10.6.7 quit when QUIT is selected? The window closes, but the application remains open necessitating a forced-quit. Until recently it worked fine. I've reinstalled Firefox but the problem persists.

    Firefox 4 on Mac OSX 10.6.7 won't quit when QUIT is selected.
    The window closes, but the application remains open necessitating a forced-quit. Until recently it worked fine. I've Downloaded Firefox again and reinstalled but the problem persists.

    Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
    * [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
    -> Profile in use
    * [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use]
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Can't change login window display

    I am running 10.7.2 on a new MacBook. I've created Admin accounts/users and in the first account I chose "Display Log-in Window as: Name & Password". Now all subsequent accounts/users are set that way and no matter what I do [including unlocking the lock at the bottom of the window], I cannot switch any of them to "List of Users". PS. This machine was not set up from an image.
    Thanks for any help with this.

    Have you tried returning to the school and connecting to the network since your settings changed? I would log into that network again and see if the box is accessible when you are logged in. (If it works, clamp the padlock on that setting.) If that doesn't help, in your shoes my next step would be finding the network administrator for the school and see if they might have a suggestion.
    Caveat: I am new to Leopard and have not been in your situation. But so far nobody has given you any suggestions, and mine won't make things worse.
    Good luck, and please post back with an update.

  • Why won't Internet Explorer display current PDF page?

    Why can't my computer's Internet Explorer display the current PDF page?

    Dear acro123,
        I fixed the problem!  I un-installed two different adobe programs (the current ver.11 and an old ver. 5, which I think caused the problems), went to the registry and removed all folders pertaining to the adobe programs, and decided to re-install the current version (ver.11) for a clean install.  This seams to do the trick.  Thank you for your concern.  By the way it was Internet Explorer, running Windows XP and the Adobe versions were 11 and 5.
        Problem: An old page from April 21st kept showing up instead of a current updated webpage.  It wouldn't update to the current page.  My solution fixed it.
        Thank you!
    Bob

  • Why won't my Frame display?

    I know this is simple. If I change these components to awt (not swing) they display. As written, no labels display. Why?
        JFrame display = new JFrame("Printing Batched Reports");
        JLabel label   = new JLabel("Gathering Agencies To Report",JLabel.CENTER);
        JLabel label2  = new JLabel("Window will close when  complete.",JLabel.CENTER);
      // constructor
        public DisplayWindow()
          display.setSize(400,100);
          display.getContentPane().setSize(400,100);
          display.getContentPane().setLayout(new java.awt.GridLayout(2,1));
          display.getContentPane().add(label);
          display.getContentPane().add(label2);
          display.setVisible(true);
        }I get an empty frame.
    Thanks
    ST

    The setting size was an act of desparation. ;-)
    There must be something going on with threading. I'm using JFree to print. I'll just dumb it down to awt. It worked then. It doesn't have to do much but tell the story.
    Thanks for the sanity check.

  • Why won't Safari 2 display sites with .dll files?

    My new powerbook, running OSX 10.4.3, and Safari 2.02, won't access my brokerage account. When I try to log in, I get a blank browser window, and it downloads a file with a .dll extension to my desktop. The problem is that it downloads the file instead of reeading it.
    My 2 year old ibook (with OSX 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.1) was able to see this site just fine, and no downloaded .dll files.

    DLL files are for Windows and do not run on a Mac. Are there any instructions, readme files, or information about what the file is for?
    What happens if you use Camino or Firefox? If the brokerage firm still wants to have you to install a .dll file, then I would say that the firm does not support OS X.
