Hello,
How do I get rid of the "login" screen when I boot up m computer? I don't have the multiple user ability checked, so my account is the only account on my computer, how do I get it so my computer boots up to my desktop?
You need to
turn off FileVault from the Security pane of System Preferences before you can enable automatic login. If you need to encrypt some of your files and automatically login, use the Disk Utility application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to create an encrypted disk image, and use that to store sensitive data.
When I try to enable automatic login, I check the checkbox, type my password and close the prefspane. But when I restart the computer , the login-screen still appears? And when I check if the preferences have changed they still indicate that Automatic login is enabled...?
I only have one user-account(admin) on this mac, but I have tried to automatically login on to a standard account without any success...
The problem has been there since the first intall of 10.4 Tiger.
Open the Security pane of System Preferences and check that the box for disabling automatic login is empty. If you've recently changed your password through the use of a Mac OS X CD or DVD, look
here for some suggestions.
