MacBook Pro :: Cannot Access Any User Account After Update

Mar 15, 2012

Two days ago I updated my Macbook Pro to the latest version using the "Software Update" utility. It restarted and I just shut it down.Yesterday I attempted to log to my account and I realized that it's not possible. No matter the account I try it: 

1. Asks for a password (Enter password correctly).

2. A gray screen appears for one or two seconds as if it's loading the session.

3. It comes back to the accounts screen. 

After many tries then I entered to the Recovery utilities ( Command + R on boot). I analized the disk and it's fine, no errors on it. So I decided to reinstall OS X When I try to re-install it starts to download some components and after few minutes of download it states that it cannot download these components. I thought it was a problem with my wireless network so I plugged an ethernet cable to the mac but the same error still happens after one minute or two.

Note: I checked my network with other devices and it's working fine.

MacBook Pro :: OS Lion Couldn't Access Guest Account And New User Account

May 24, 2012

I bought this new MacBook Pro a month ago.  When I try logging into my guest account, it froze.  I had no other alternative but to get out of it by pressing the power button.  Then I tried open a new user account to see if it also has the same problem.  Unfortunately it did have the same problem - froze after I logged in.  I had done a harddisk check, there seemed to be no problem.

Apr 25, 2012

I just made a TM backup of two user accounts (A & B) on one iMac.I now want to delete the files and accounts from the iMac and create a new user account.(A & B shared this computer and it is now going to be used by a third person alone. I don't want all the additional unused A & B account data clogging the hard drive.) If I delete the original A & B user accounts, will I still be able to access the backed up files? How?

OS X Tiger :: Lost My User Account / Changed Account Name In Finder

Jun 3, 2010

I have just lost my user account that I normally use. It happened after I changed my name for my user account in the Finder. I clicked Get Info and changed the name from Helen Andersson to only Helen. and after that nothing is the same and i cant go back either that I know of. When I start the computer now everything that I had on my desktop and in my Itunes, Icalendar, addressbook, and Aperture are not there. I have found them (well at least what i had on my desktop and my itunes but not the other information), so they are still on the computer but I dont know how to get back to my normal user account.

When I check my System preferences Account I only have one account so its not like I made a new one and have two. But I can also see that the one I am using now that has nothing on it is made today.

So please if anyone can help me get my iMac to go back to the old user and all its settings the same way I would very much appreciate it. Because this user has nothing and I have to start everything from scratch even my internet settings I had to download again to be able to go on the internet. This user has nothing.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Move Imap Account To New User Account?

Jun 25, 2012

Up till now, all the family have been using just one user account on our iMac. (OK, I now know that's not a good idea!) I'm now going to be working from home so have set up a new user as Work. I've been using an IMAP mail service in Mail on the family user account and I've now set it up on the work account. If I delete the IMAP account from Mail in the family user account, will this delete my mail off the IMAP server so I cannot access it on the wrok user account?

I was having trouble with Powerpoint, and an article indicated I might have a corrupt user account. I followed the instructions, creating a new user account, and the problem was solved.

MacBook Pro :: Should I Delete User Account After Migration

Apr 2, 2012

I migrated my old MacBook to my new MacBook Pro without changing the user accounts so now I have a user account on the MBP that I only used for a few days.  I'm trying to determine whether or not I need to keep that new user account.  I didnt put anything on it of substance (set a few bookmarks in Safari and downloaded a couple of free apps). I've read a few things online about issues people have after trying to delete user accounts.

OS X Yosemite :: When Log Onto Macbook / User Account Isn't Showing Up

Dec 1, 2014

There was one time where my wi-fi wasn't connecting so I tried to turn it back on. A window popped up but I had alrdy clicked enter before I read it, but it said something like "...will change settings, is that okay...?" And then wi-fi still would not connect. So I tried restarting my computer, but when it turned on, my user account did not show up and all there was on the screen was two boxes that asked for name and password. I was the only person using my macbook so I never set up a password for it.

MacBook Pro :: OS X 10.9.2 - User Account Deletion Very Slow

Jun 29, 2014

I have a new Macbook pro with OS X 10.9.2. Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3.

In the process of importing all my settings, applications, documents etc. and then updated documents, I ended up with 2 user accounts. 

I've set the 2nd of these to be deleted. The Users & Groups window which says it's "Deleting Account...", and won't allow me to close System Preferences because it "is busy and can't be closed. Users & Groups is removing a user account and Home directory" It's been like this for about 3 hours. There's no indicator showing whether it's progressing or stuck. 

After doing this, I tried deleting an extraneous user on my 'old' Macbook and it deleted it in a few minutes (though in this case there was no question about removing  its Home directory).

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?
