Can't login into OS X Lion

I justed bought a new Macbook Pro 13'' with OS X Lion. I migrated from my existing Time Machine (previously working under OS X SL). After some reboots #, the boot process didn't end. Only solution was to reset PRAM and repair the hard drive via recovery mode. I read about some other problems where people can't login after installing Lion. The solution seemed to be to reset the passwords. But this doesn't work for me.

As I said, reparing hard drive and resetting the PRAM worked for me. But since I installed updates (iTunes, Thunderbolt and another) I am not able to login anymore. The login view appears, I can type my password, a grey background appears and I am back to the login view. This happens all the time now. Now resetting PRAM and repairing hard drive doesn't work for me anymore.

I was able to copy the system.log in recovery mode. Here it is at my last login attempts:

I was able to fix this by using the terminal (either in recovery or singler user mode) and removing the file /var/audit/current. It's supposed to be a symbolic link pointing to the most recent file, but it seems like it gets corrupted.


So for the single-user fix:


Reboot and hold Command+S for singler user mode.


Once you get a command prompt mount the partition for write access


/sbin/mount -uw /


Then remove that file.


rm /var/audit/current


I tried many other solutions that involved removing various cache entries and changing password which seemed to work for some people, but this is what worked for me given the same issue. YMMV. :-)

This works brilliantly - so easy and painless.


I had the same issue and had wasted hours trying all the other fixes with no success. I was about to clean install Lion and restore data from Time Machine, fearful of restoring the corruption in the process, when I decided to do one last search and came across your post - and very glad I did! Less than 5 mins later all is back to normal.


A very big thank you! 🙂
