Will not let me login on login screen

I just got a new MacBook Pro last night, and obviously this morning I was playing with it downloading some I work programs. As they were installing I shut the lid and when I came back to check on it the login screen came up as usual but I could not login!! I have not changed the password the only thing I changed was my Full name to my nick name but that was it!! Can anyone give me any suggestions on what to do, I can't even shut it down completely!!!
Thank you!!

Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.

Have a AT&T iphone 4 and it will not let me login to the iPhone without a sims card and if you use a AT&T sims card it won't work

Define "won't work"...
You can not activate an iPhone without a SIM. If the phone is carrier locked, you must have a valid Sim from the correct carrier.
What EXACTLY is the message you're getting?

Sign in to itunes store will not disappear and the whole IPad will not let me go into other screens till this pop up goes away. I have entered the password several times and still will not disappear. Turned the IPad on and off but the pop up remain

FIrst try a soft reset by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears then let go & let the iPad boot up normally.
If that doesn't help then to make sure you have a strong internet connection.
Try resetting Network Settings
Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings,
You won't lose any data but will have to log back into your wifi networks.
Once logged back in and when the pop-up appears, try entering your password again.

Facetime will not let me login

I tried to add my friend on facetime today but whenever we tried to call one another it said that the other person was unavailable. I tried to change which email I was using because I have more than one email set up with my facetime, but now facetime will not let me log back in. I have the right apple id and password but it still won't work. Any suggestions of what to do?

I have the same problem! If anyone has the answer it would be helpful, I would love to use my FaceTime again.

MacBook Pro will not go past login screen/gray screen/gray Apple screen. Wheel keeps spinning.

I am pretty frustrated right now as anyone would be if this happened.
I was installing Anti-Virus onto my MacBook Pro and the installation finished but the computer froze. I force restarted the computer and it went all the way into my desktop, I could click on certain things but it was loading INCREDIBLY slow. The Anti-Virus opened and everything but the computer was just running much to slow and then froze again.
I hard reset the computer again because it was frozen. The first time I hard reset it went all the way to the login screen, I put my password in and the wheel would just spin. It just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning.
I hard reset the computer again. This time it gets to the Apple logo with the spinning under the logo. Just keeps spinning.
I hard reset the computer again. This time it gets past the spinning under the logo and isn't doing anything.
I hard reset the computer again. Get's all the way to the log in password screen, doesn't even let me put the password in just keeps spinning.
I continued to hard reset and get different screens each time.
I booted into safe mode. Did absolutely nothing for me but run incredibly slow and lag. I am not sure if that is normal or not, as I have never safe booted on a Mac. I reinstalled Mountain Lion after going into I think it was Recovery Mode (Command + R) and that did absolutely nothing for me after waiting over an hour. So now I am very frustrated as I need to do work for my class and this is just a major problem.
I even tried doing the Command + Option + P + R or whatever it was to reset those settings. Nothing is working.
Final projects and computers that don't want to work are not good.

Are you not able to install OS X, then? That is, the reinstall procedure does not work? If so, then you need to erase the drive then reinstall OS X.
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

New Macbook Pro will not let me login

I have a fairly new Macbook Pro. When I turn it on, the Apple screen comes up, then the user icons. I can move the cursor just fine, but when I try to click on my user icon, the computer doesn't respond when I click on the icon. This is an intermittent problem, and has just started happening in the past two weeks. I have to shut the computer down by holding the on/off switch down, then restart, hoping it will work.
I took it to the Apple Store Genius bar and they ran a diagnostic on it last weekend. Clean as a whistle, and of course, it worked just fine there.
Any suggestions or ideas about what could be wrong? I have Bootcamp and can access Windows on it, no problem. This seems to be an iOS problem.

Tapping to click is not the default behavior of the trackpad, and doesn't work in the login screen or in Recovery. You have to physically click the trackpad button by depressing it.

Will not go to login screen

I was using Facebook and has some other windows open at the same time. I guess I was not suppose to do this because now my computer will not go to the login screen and it just shows the blue screen.

Hi p,
I don't think that what you did was wrong; there was an issue with the MBP and with all that open, the issue manifested itself.
Try booting from your install disc (hold down the c key), open Disk Utility (in the Utilities menu), select your HD, and run Repair Disk.

Macbook will not let me login unless I disconeect ext. display

I have a new, 2months old, that just stopped detecting my external display(Sony tv connected via Mini display-HDMI-TV) When I restart, I can not login unless the extra display is not connected. It just starts to login, then flashes blue like when you connected a display, and then it goes back the login screen. When I do login in, the macbook does not detect the tv, even tho it flashes blue when I connect it. I have done restarts, and pressed "detect displays" button. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

I have replaced cables with new & the tv is set to the hdmi port. It has to be something else. very frustrating. It was working fine yesterday. Any other suggestions?

Using OSX lion and I created an aim account but ichat will not let me login and says my password or username is incorrect!?

I have created an AIM account on my computer. When I go to sign into Ichat it does not let me sign in. It says my username/password is incorrect. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Whenever I have created a Name at AIM then I have received an email to tell me (via the email I listed) that a name has been created.
Such as this:-
Thank you. An AOL account as been created using this email address.
To complete the registration and activate the account, please verify your email address by clicking the link below.
Yes, I made this request and I want to reserve this email address as part of the AOL account service
No, I did not make this request and I do not want my email address registered with the AOL account service
You will not be able to use this AOL account or make changes to the account until the registration is complete.
Thank you,
The AOL Team
(Some lines are links in the original)
The wording in the above is from an older confirmation email, I have a newer one has slightly different wording.
That is then followed by a "Thank for Confirming" email.
An @mac.com Apple ID that is also a valid AIM Screen Name is registered here
Keep the password to 16 characters or less (it's an AIM limit despite the prompts on the Site for longer).
The Apple ID (Using @mac.com) links one email to the @mac.com name. That email is a must but must not already be used with another Apple ID

Safari will not let me login to facebook.

I've had this problem for a while now, and every time I try to login to facebook, I get this error message:
Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “https://login.facebook.com/login.php” because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server “login.facebook.com”.
I can access every other part of facebook besides logging in. My firewall is not on, I've tried other web browsers: Firefox, Camino, and sea monkey, but I still get the same error message of some sort. What do I do? Safari loads every other paige besides this.

I have the same problem, but in my case, it's about whether I'm a admin or not.
If I'm an admin, I don't get any errors, but if I'm not, I get them on every page which requires a secure connection (urls starting with https://)
Really annoying.
I think it started about one or two months ago, with 10.5.2 or so.

Cannot set up Firefox sync on desktop - no recovery key and will not let me login to get it

I downloaded Firefox for my new android phone and wanted to sync my desktop with the mobile app. When I first went in it said I had an account already set up, but since I didn't remember any of the information about it I just ended up changing the password so I could login, and then deleted the whole account.
I went ahead and set up a new sync account, but it never gave me a recovery key. I didn't think anything of it, but then the initial sync failed and I got an error message saying the username or password was incorrect.
This happened twice and each time I went back and either ended up resetting the password or deleting the whole account. But whenever I did go through the steps of creating another account it still never gave me a recovery key.
I looked around and tried following the steps to get a recovery key, but I don't have the option to manage my account (maybe because one was never fully created and never went through an initial sync?), and I keep getting an error message saying the username and password is incorrect whenever I try to go through the steps to reset the recovery key. This is despite the fact that I can login with those same credentials on the Firefox sync webpage - for whatever reason it just doesn't accept them in the normal browser sync tab.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, and version 13.0.1 of Firefox. Any help you can give me would be most appreciated as this has been driving me nuts for the last several hours as I try to work through this.

Thank you for your reply i added the mysqld: ALL to my hosts file as you suggested and now things are working. However i did a terrible nasty hack to make mysql work and i need a hand fixing it. My mysql command prompt skill are fairly weak and ran a command that effectively looked me out of mysql see below or in my past post on this thread. I changed the root users host allow to all and now localhost access is denied the way i am getting around this is by adding skip-grant-tables to the /etc/my.cnf file.
Could you please help me with some basic user management? i would like to set a password for root as right now it has none this i can probably figure out. However how do i change root to only have access to localhost again and my new remote user to have access from any or every remote address? How do i list the users and there permissions/allowed hosts maybe point me to some good docs too thanks.
update db set Host='all' where Db='mydb';
update user set Host='all' where user='myuser';

My computer will not let me download firefox, a screen comes up and says my security settings won't allow it.

This is a lap top. Yesterday nor today we could not display firefox and that is how I would normally logon to the computer. Firefox kept coming up and saying it could not display page. Today I uninstalled firfox and tryed to re-install, now a box comes up and says my security settings won't allow it.

Make sure that you do not run the file directly, but save the file to the Desktop and start the installation via a double-click.<br />
You may need to unlock the file via the right-click context menu: Properties > Security
