OS X Mavericks :: Can't Login To Update Software / Apps

Sep 9, 2014

OS X - 10.9.4...The issues:

- I can't login to update software/apps. the user /Apple ID part is grayed out as a person. I can't log in properly. It only offers up the password section. I can log into my apple id without problem, but it won't let me change the user name for updates. 

- I use Chrome and it used to default to Google for search. Now it defaults to yahoo! even though in my preferences I have google set as default. 

- I've gone through and deleted start-up software that started showing up (DropBox on launch, ipseacurity something) 

- my background swapped out to a default today without me adjusting it. 

- I used to be able to type directly into the chrome bar. now a chrome extension shows up instead and I have to select all and delete to enter text 

- everything is running really slowly. 

Further background - I'm currently serving in the Peace Corps and have been using a VPN network and modem through Orange to secure my wifi connection. I've tried to be careful but perhaps not careful enough. I have gone through all my extensions and settings and dumped everything I didn't recognize but am not sure what other precautions to take/how to fix things.

OS X Mavericks :: Why Do So Many Apps Require Administrative Rights To Install / Update

Sep 10, 2014

I know that my Mac is technically a multi-user system, but it offends me mightily to have to give administrative rights to programs from Microsoft, Adobe, Oracle, etc when they should clearly be able to function in a single-user install available only to my userid. 

I can see where firewall software and maybe stuff like vmware needs it but there doesn't seem to be a compelling reason for letting nearly every software company on the planet have super user access to my filesystem. Once I give them such rights its trivial for them to set up a set-uid permission as root on some little executable tucked away in their install. 

Any way to force software to just install in your own userspace? Is there some type of jail/chroot I could set up to protect my system from these programs?

OS X Mavericks :: Use Wireless To Login To AD Domain At Login

Jun 25, 2014

OS X Maverick (10.9.3)..I have an iMac I need to have the user at the login window, log into AD.  The iMac does not have an operable ethernet port.  I suspect the iMac is old enough, the thunderbolt port is video only, since a known working thunderbolt to ethernet adapter did not connect (I think the iMac is Mid 2011 and I suspect the iMac is out of warranty).  Wireless works fine, and I have made the iMac a member of the domain using the private network, after logging in locally. I cannot create the user's mobile account, because I need to have the iMac use wireless at login, connecting to the private network, at login.   

Is there a way to have the login process use wireless to initiate the login for the mobile account and creation of said account?I know there is a way to do this under Windows, just hope there is a way under OS X.

OS X :: Delay Startup Apps At Login?

Nov 15, 2008

I am looking for a way to delay the startup of the items in my "Login Items" and Startup items/LaunchDaemons. I have Lingon which helps to easily manage startup but there isn't any option to delay the startup of the app.

Is there any settings in OSX or a 3rd party app that can achieve this?

OS X :: Apps That Start On Startup / Login Without My Permission

Aug 7, 2009

How do I stop intrusive apps from running at startup/login? I checked both libraries > StartupItems and System > StartupItems.

Long version + rambling:

So there is this intrusive app that I installed, and it keeps adding a folder in my Documents folder. Everytime I delete it, it comes back on startup.

I thought it would be much easier to find the file responsible for starting this app on startup, but I was disappointed. But I'm betting it's not as difficult as searching the Windows registry.

Anyway, it's not among the 'login' items, and I searched the main Library, and my User Library, and even the System's 'startup' folders, and found nothing. So what's the deal?

Before you make any accusations, the app I'm using is Parallels, and yeah, there's probably some preference I could change to stop it from doing that, but I would like to do this manually, and learn more about how OS X works. I want to stop the app from running without my permission when I log in. (I'm stubborn, and want to show this app who's boss around here!)

I'm thankful that in OS X, apps are much less intrusive than Windows ones, and they're only intrusive when I give them my password, from my experience at least. Am I right? But goodness I hate how intrusiveness followed me here from Windows. It would have been a deal breaker, had I known how many files (hidden or otherwise) it was going to scatter across my tidy Mac.

Software :: OS X 10.5.6 Update Will Not Allow To Login

Jan 7, 2009

I finally decided to to authorize the OS X update 10.5.6. Upon restart it went to login screen but i noticed my guest account was missing. Trying to login to my main account the screen turned into the default background for leopard, no icons appeared, then screen goes blue and goes back to login screen.

I tried repeatedly to login by restart, by shut down, by unplug the machine but no joy. I can log into one of my other accounts that has admin previledges.

Inside that account I can go to preferences and view my accounts where everything seems fine. The guest account is listed along with all other accounts. Ive tried changing passwords to get backinto main account but still no joy.

When going into finder/accounts the tree for my main account does not give me access permissions to look at or retrieve any of my files from any folder other than applications.

OS X :: 10.5.6 Update - Unable To Login To Bank

Dec 15, 2008

I am suddenly unable to log in to First Direct - I put in my user name and it simply refreshes the page asking me to input it again. It was fine earlier today before I updated. I phoned and they said there was no problem. I used my partner's Mac (with 10.5.5) and, sure enough, it's fine on there. Yet again, a software update solves a bunch of problems and then creates a few more.

When they finish downloading the app, the update is not applied and still shows as an update available for these apps.This happens even if I try to select just one app. I have already tried logging out of my itunes account and rebooting my system, but it hasn't fixed this problem.

ITunes For Mac :: Can't Update Apps

Jun 17, 2014

I have an iphone 5s and from some months now I am not being able to update any apps. It happened all of a sudden, one day I could do it like always and the next day I couldn't anymore. No error sign appears. I changed my Apple ID and I can buy new apps but of course I cannot update the ones I already had with the new ID. If I try to buy again some of the apps I cannot update the Apple Store on my iphone reads it as I want to update them which is actually my problem.

MacBook Pro :: Stuck In Loop At Login After 10.6.4 Update

Jun 17, 2010

This is my first mac, I installed the 10.6.4 update the other day and restarted, since then it has been on or sleeping. I just shut it down and turned it on again and it's asking for my password. Each time I enter it goes to load and then comes back to the log in screen. I know I have the write password because it's a simple 4 digit one that I use for my bank account and if I enter anything else the box shakes and asks me to re-enter it. How do I log in?

Mac OS X Lion Server :: Cannot Login To Domain After 10.7.4 Update

May 16, 2012

Here again dealing with how OS X deals with .local domains I think.Was previously bound and all was working fine.Have just updated to 10.7.4 When trying to login using the "Other User" the button stays red and says Network accounts unavailable.I can ping domain server by name and IP.Permissions have been rebuilt.

Have rebound. Had a problem at first unbinding inside the Open Directory Utility as it said it could not connect with the domain and an unused account would be left if a forced unbind was done. Tried again by using the minus button instead of the Unbind button and it worked without any message.

So then binded to the domain and all looked good. Green button next to Network Account Server in the Users and Groups.

OS X Yosemite :: Login Screen Says (Update Needed)

Dec 7, 2014

My Macbook (2012) has been running incredibly slow since I updated to Yosemite. My apps keep crashing, including safari and chrome and I'm sending about 5 reports a day to Apple whenever they crash.

Chrome crashed while I was writing this - it happens routinely.

But my biggest concern is that when I restart my computer, the login screen looks like this:

It says "update needed" where it should have my name and image.  

I've found a few solutions on here about turning off the firevault and trying to restart the computer again, but this image was taken on my restart try after made that change. I do know that it says I still have a mavericks update available. I'm not sure how that happened because I updated everything before I moved to Yosemite, but my apps store still says I have an update for Mavericks 10.9.5...

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10)

App Store :: Updated Apps Won't Go Away From Its Update

May 24, 2012

I've had this problem ever since upgrading to Lion quite awhile ago. Each update of Lion promises to fix various bugs, but this one just won't go away. Why is it that applications I've just updated (and which show in Finder as the current version) continue to show as needing updates in App Store. It doesn't matter what I do, delete caches, deleting plists, etc, every time I go to the App Store to check on NEW updates, it continues to show me the ones I've already updated, and it becomes my task to sort through the list looking for those updated since the last time I checked The only way I can tell is by update date. If the date is "today", then I know I haven't got the update.
