Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Why don't all users show up at startup screen?

My wife's user icon doesn't show up as a user option at the start up screen. Only mine and the guest user shows up. This frustrates her to no end. What do I need to do to have both her and my icon to show up?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Hello!
My computer was turned off for no reason today, few hours ago. I wanted to turn it on but did not pass the gray screen with apple, loading circle and bar below.
I had to force booting from cmd + s with the following: /sbin/mount -uw / then I wrote chmod 775 / and then logout
He started but now my user does not appear in the login window.
The user that appears is one I created for my job a few months ago, but does not have administrator permissions.
FileVault is not enabled, what I can do?

Thanks in advance!!
