Upgraded to Lion, now I cannot log in. System just sits there after I enter my credentials to log in, progress indicator spinning in the password field. Please advise !!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)
I'm having the same problem. It will only log me in as a guest. I can't figure out how to access my regular account.
Hello guys,
I have this problem too. Before installing Lion my account was running under filevault, I read (to late) it was better to disable filevault before installing Lion... Now I can't log me in... I saw (in target mode) there is a Guest Home directory created (during the install I guess...) but cannot log me in to this account with my password... My Home directory seems to be empty, but it's may be the new encryption feature which doesn't display any information about the encrypted folders... well I'm a bit desperate...
I booted into recovery console (cmd+R while booting) and I'm currently copying all of my files from /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/USERNAME over to a USB HDD, then I'm going to do a fresh install. I was not using filevault or any other encryption mechanism.
The other methods mentioned here of booting into recovery console and resetting root password had no effect, I cannot log into the root account after that, same behavior, the system just sits at the login screen but does not go any further.
Booo Apple.
I also had the same problem with my MacBook Pro.
I was able to log in using safe mode by keeping shift pressed during start up. In safe mode I then changed settings so that it doesn't ask password at start up. This way I'm able to use my computer in normal mode till some sort of permanent fix is provided.
Same Problem here. App Store is un-useable for me in Lion. You would have thought Apple would have checked this before releasing Lion? Guess I won't be buying anything from apple. It just says "device could not be verified. Contact Support for assistance." I can log in here, iTunes, & everywhere else?
