Intel Mac :: Won't Boot After User Login Page - Error Occurred Installing Updates

Jun 11, 2012

I logged onto my iMac today and checked for any updates. I found updates for iPhoto, Thunderbolt, Airport and I think Safari. After it downloaded the updates and installed them, it wanted to reboot. Upon clicking ok, it went to a grey screen while initializing the updates, or something to that effect. Then it said an unknown error occurred and press ok to reboot. I presses ok but nothing happened, the box disappeared and the blank grey screen remained.

So I rebooted and the logon screen came up. I put my password in, which was accepted and the iMac moved on to blank grey screen with the darker grey Apple symbol in the middle and the the 'thinking' wheel doing its little circling thing just below that. It's sits there like that and doesn't move to the desktop screen. I've tried rebooting but it stalls at the same point. It's running the latest version of X. It didn't come with any disks and I don't have Time Machine.

OS X :: Unable To Log Into User Account - Error Occurred

Dec 7, 2009

Friday, when I tried to enter my computer I have received a log screen. Tried to log but I have received this message "you are unable to log in to the user account "user" at this time because an error occurred" (never happened before). I am sure that the password is correct because the screen doesn't shake, like it happens when I introduce a wrong password. Tried to reboot with "apple S" pressed to go to the root. When I access the directory "Users" I cannot see my user name anymore. Filevault is not activated, never did it. I have very important data from work (my whole year work), I don't have backup and I must not loose it. I was not trying to do an updade or anything, it just happen when I turn on the Mac.

I have tried to do the following things too:
Boot from installation disk #1: Accessed Disk Utility and repaired the disk. There was one error "Mounting of the drive" that was fixed. No other errors found. When I rebooted I got the same message at the login screen. Tried to change the password. I got an error telling me that I don't have permission or an error has occurred. The volume Macintosh HD appears to be ok. Rebooted and still had the same problem.

Windows On Mac :: Installing Win7 - Unexpected I / O Error Occurred

Nov 30, 2009

So I've been trying all weekend to install windows 7 through boot camp. At first, due to a lack of dvds to burn the iso I have, I tried doing the whole usb thing. I got as far as the Legacy Loader screen and could not find a solution. Finally, after getting a couple of dvds I burned the iso and tried to go from there. At first I just got a completely black screen every time I tried to boot from the cd. I tried a lot of the fixed on this forum as well as countless others through which I looked. I reset the PRAM, shut off the computer and disconnected everything including the power plug, waited a while and then restarted, changed the resolution to 800x600. Well eventually I got to the point where I got the black screen but with a blinking cursor.

I waited about 5 minutes and got the this msg: Windows encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.
File: BootBCD
Status: 0xc000000e9
info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred
Waited like 15 minutes to see if anything happens but nothing. They teased me by telling me that if I pressed enter I could continue but in fact nothing happened. I know the dvd works because I tried it on a laptop running windows and when I popped in the dvd the install menu came up.

OS X :: User Account Not Visiable On Login Page - How To Fix It

Feb 4, 2010

I have 3 daughters sharing an eMac running 10.5.8 and one of my daughters accounts no longer is viewable from the login page that has my admin login and other daughters logins.

Under the finder>Macintosh HD>Users I see her folder.

Under Apple>Sys Prefs>Accounts I do NOT see her as an account.

If I try and create the account using the same name it tells me that a folder in the users folder has the same name and would I like to use that folder as the home folder for that account. I have chosen OK but the account is still not visable under SysPrefs or the login page.

I am sure there is a simple box to check some where but can't find it, does someone have a cure?

Intel Mac :: After Migration Assistance / Account Failed Because An Error Occurred

May 7, 2012

Got my new IMAC and set up the Migration Assistance from my Old Macbook to the IMAC...  it finished migrating sometime in the middle of the night and the IMAC automatically shut itself off.. 

I try to log into my IMAC now and get the error You are unable to log into Account (xxxxxxx) at this time / account failed because an error occurred. 

I don't run a Server configuration... and all the help in the community I can find is based on Client/Server 

The MacBook is OS X (10.5.2) Leopard

The IMAC is OS X (10.7. ??)  Lion 

This was out of the box migration, so have never had the IMAC up and running prior to this migration. 

How do I get into my IMAC?

IMac (Intel) :: Logging Into Account Failed Because Error Occurred

Jun 22, 2014

I just had Apple replace the hard drive on my iMac due to a hard drive failure.  I restored my data from my WD back-up drive and that seemed to go fine, but when I try to log onto my computer for the first time since the drive change, I get this error message:  "you can't log into the FileVault user account 'my account name' at this time.  Logging into the account failed because an error occurred."  This comes at the screen where you enter your password for password protected login.  Note that I've always used the password protected login and I have not forgetten my password. I shut down and restarted a couple of more times, but I keep on getting the same message.

Intel Mac :: New "Other" User Account Appears On User-list At Login?

Feb 1, 2012

Today when I turned on my iMac, it went to the login screen and then something odd happened. I saw a second account on the login list that i never made. It is called "Other: and has an icon with lines and spheres (like a networking icon). Also when I click on it, it asks for a name and password.I logged into account and went straight to System Preferences ->Accounts and there is no "Other" in the list of accounts there on the left.just my account. Is this a virus or have I been hacked? Or is this is bug?

Intel Mac :: Stuck At The Choose User Page?

Apr 14, 2012

After disconnecting and cleaning iMac and accessories (external clean!), I am not able to use keyboard and/or mouse at the user page on bootup.  Red laser light is visible on mouse, but nothing from keyboard. 

The first time I booted up, staccato sound from computer (as if key was kept pressed down) but now nothing. 

I have recently installed a new hard drive, but had 2 weeks perfect usage of my iMac before this incident.

OS X :: Tried Installing XP With Boot Camp And Got Disk Error?

Jan 9, 2010

I'm a new MAC user and would need to install XP on my MAC. I'm sure there are thousands of threads out there about this but I couldn't find one. I've tried installing with Boot Camp and got Disk Error. Realised I had Service Pack One. The CPU then wouldn't boot properly as it looked for the WIN CD later so I have to hold down the Option key every time I boot up. I now have XP Pro with SP3 and have partitioned the space (20gb). Just don't want to mess it up so I'll wait for a reply here.

Mac Mini :: The Operation Can’t Be Completed Because An Unexpected Error Occurred (error Code -50)

Apr 21, 2012

I am getting this error  "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)." when I try to transfer files from my Mac Mini to my External Harddrive which is connected to my Airport Extreme. "  The error does not appear to happen all the time.  It does seem consistent if I am transfering files and then try to transfer more.   

The files I am transferring are .mp4.  It does not appear to care about the size of the file, it happens with small files and large files, I can transfer some large folders (2.54G). I can connect the hard-drive externally directly to the mac mini and it will transfer any file.
