On a Mac Book Air and a Mac Book Pro we have had a sudden problem. The Air came with Lion installed, the Pro just got upgraded to Lion. We got a new login banner that must be displayed. It is about 10 lines long. We put it in, and on reboot it covers the login boxes for user name and password. We can't find any way to dismiss the banner and login. What can we do.
Info:
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)
How can one modify this banner on the login windows?
Info:
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4), iPhone 4S 64GB iMac 2.93 (2)
I wanted to add a login banner which requires me to paste something into the Security folder. However, I couldn't find it. I opened up my Library folder in Lion and saw no Security folder. No matter how much I look, I can't find one.

I can create and veiw a (PolicyBanner) rtf document just fine. However, the image I placed in the rtf document does not show. (I've tried both jpeg & png) How was the image placed in the sample doc?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi! Im new to the forums but i really need help with something and i was hoping someone here could help me out. So I just installed Tech Tool Deluxe onto my macbook and then shut it down later. I went back to use it again and when i turned it on a login screen appeared asking me to put in my password. I did that and the screen turned blue (looking like it was loading) and then went back to the login screen. Every time i put in my password it just takes me back to the login screen. I have had my mac for a while and i dont want my hardrive to get wiped out so what do i do? Thank you for looking
View 1 Replies View RelatedI work for a company that has several Macs available for customers' use. These are basically demo-machines that they can play with, and at the end of each day, the machines are wiped and rebooted.
The way we do this is simple: the machines auto-login to the Guest account, which will wipe the account at the end of the day. Well, getting a few new Macs in this week, I simply copied over the entire Guest user account to the new machines to avoid reloading all the demo content, preferences, etc. And truthfully, the machines have been working great.
Except one thing. The computer keeps giving me that annoying message that says "Safari (or Finder, or System Preferences, or anything!) wants to use keychain 'login'". And asks for the login keychain password. Well here's the thing: the Guest accounts don't have passwords!
So I looked up a little bit on this topic, and did things like... Went to "Keychain List" in the Edit menu of Keychain Access, and deleted both the "login" and "system" keychains. No help. I went to Preferences in Keychain Access and said "Reset My Keychain". When doing this, however, it asks for the new password for the login keychain.
The problem with this is that I cannot leave the field blank! The Guest account doesn't have a password, so how am I supposed to not create a password?
Okay Mail 7.3 and word 2011 are opening at login. Nothing is selected under user preferences. UI know there's a way to stop it

G4 MDD networked with Mini for approx. 3 years now via a LinkSys BEFSR41 wired router. Ethernet cables are CAT6's with gold-plated ends. Did an erase/install (+ updates) of Panther on G4. ISP is Comcast Cable. Just upgraded my Motorola modem from Surfboard 5100 to SB 5101 yesterday. My network settings are ok...file sharing is turned on...I can ping each 'puter from the other (showing my connection is good).
I have internet access (showing that the router is still good according to Cisco). Now, however, I can't even bring up the window on the G4 asking for my pw....all I get is connection failed, no response from the server. From the Mini, I get Unknown User, incorrect password or login is disabled. I haven't a clue what the problem can be. Everything I do daily depends upon the network connection.
i ve recently activated the default guest account in leopard. However even though when I check in the accounts.prefpane it says that it is on and its 'login only' and when I click on the account it says 'allow guests to login into this computer' and its on.
However when I boot up my machine and click on the guest icon, it wont let me in as it shakes the menu(login failed).
When I turn on lap top (iBook G4 Mac OS x 10.3) i get the following message "Login Window Starting" I followed Apple support guidance - specifically safe start and performing the fsck then reboot process and neither works for me. I don't have the disks any more so I cant use them for reloading the software. I want to sell the laptop so i just want to format the HD. Is it possible to format from command lines?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an iMac G5 1.8Ghz and Today when I logged in, it just froze on the apple OS X background. I waited 2 minutes, and nothing happened. It was weird because it's the first time it happened. Anyway, I turned the iMac off and re-tried. It did the exact same thing. So I turned it off, unplugged everything, waited around a minute, plugged it all back in, and it worked fine.
But yeah, just trying to work out why it would do that... because this is going to my brother and I don't want it to just crash when I give it to him.
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.
I have been helping my sister get set up on a MacBook Pro. It was on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I then installed Lion and I think I got it up to 10.7.2. In the process it did a firmware update. Now when the computer starts up we get to the two users for the system. Clicking on either of the accounts does not bring up the option to enter the pasword and get us to the respective desktops.

My Mac Pro froze and I had to turn it off and back on again. The login page appears but nothing happens when I click my username icon or the Guest icon. I can move the mouse but cant click to log into anything. Starting in Safe Mode has the same problem.

After i updated to 10.7.3, every time i boot my Mac, it plays the boot sound, but after i login there is no output devices so there is no sound on my Mac. I tried to find how to troubleshoot this issue but the only thing that i came across to solve it was restart and boot in Safe Mode and then reboot again in Normal Mode.
I need a permanent solution to this problem.

I have a Mac Mini running 10.7.3 that I made the mistake of unchecking the show input menu in login window. Now I can't log in at all. I have tried to delete the "com.apple.loginitems.plist" using screen sharing, Lion in all its wisdom tells me I don't have permission.
I then tried to create a start up disk on one of my 2TB disks, somehow the system wasn't installed, just all the included apps. I then tried reinstalling lion on the Mac Mini, after over an hour it restarted with the same blank screen. Now when I go to the App Store Lion is no longer available to me.

Everytime my computer goes sleep and I wake it up, I have to login with my password. It's a user account in OS Lion, but I can't see where to turn it off. Don't know how I got it set up this way, but I just want to go right back into wherever I was last, and not have to login.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently got myself a Magic Trackpad for my TV-computer(a Mac mini running 10.7.3). It seems to work fine, but there's an annoying problem. I can't use it to click on things on the login screen. When I've logged in I can click around on various items, but not on the login screen and since this computer have a couple of family accounts it's a bit annoying. I can move around the pointer so it's not entirely dead, but I can't click making it a bit hard to choose the account you want to login as.Is this how it's supposed to work or is there some setting I've missed?

Last week I decided to delete everything on my disc and install Lion on clear disc. But before that I created an Time Machine disc and copied everything to it. I did the installation proces. Everything's worked fine until I turned my MBP off and on again. It has asked me for a password (to log in). It was (and still is) very strange because on this computer I had only one password and it's incorrect! I can't log in, I can't change settings! Every time if I want to use my computer I have to use Snow Leopard's installation disc and reset password. But it's even stranger. After I do this (every time!) the password is still incorrect (if I for example want to change settings or reboot my MacBook).
