login screen

Hello everybody, yesterday I had an update on opencore and I did it normally, after the update and the restart of my MacBook pro (13inch 2014) I press my password and my MacBook stucks on logging screen (with the rolling thing) and I haven't access on my Mac and my files. Now my problem is my...

It has always been a challenge to change the keyboard layout of the login screen. My password wants the keyboard layout I am accustomed to, whether that be French or English/US101 aka QWERTY. After I bought my new M2 MacBook Air, I found it had the English/US101 aka QWERTY. Search here was...

Two questions for you guys (and gals)... 1) I noticed (at least with Monterey) that the user login photo, which comes up when you first turn on the computer is a lot larger in size than previous Mac OS's. I find it unsightly, to be honest. Is there a way to turn off the photo and rather have...

Mac mini M1 (Mac OS 11.2.3) - When waking up from sleep(usually a night) the login screen keeps repeating as if I am pressing some key and would not let me input the correct password. I have tried following things: switching to a different user. RESULT: same issue, immediately after I press...

Hi everyone, So I've got a Mac installation (swapped between machines) running Catalina 10.15.7, and the login screen is missing styling on the password input box. It still works, but it's super trippy to use compared to my perfectly functional MacBook. Here's what it looks like: I have...

Any help is appreciated: I have a Macbook Pro 16" that's less than 1 month old and on 10.15.7 and I'm already facing 2 instances where the system froze on startup. Everything booted fine, and it freezes after I enter my password and press enter. It's a bit annoying to have this on a new...

Hi guys! I got an old MacBook Air late 2011 and I installed High Sierra 10.13.6 on it, works fine though but every time I power on or restart the machine I get a Grey login screen like in the photos i stead of a normal login screen, what can it be? The machine works fine overall but it kinda...

Hi, so far I was running a Mac Mini 2018 (i7, 32GB, Mojave 10.14.6) with an LG 5k monitor without any issues. Since the UI performance was a bit choppy, I added a Blackmagic eGPU (580x) today. The Mini is connected via Thunderbolt to the eGPU and the eGPU is connected via Thunderbolt to the LG...

My iMac pro is booting in mirrored mode when I don't even have that selected. If I do command + F1 it shows the extended desktop mode which is how it should be but this is only a temporary fix. I'm using a thunderbolt 3 to HDMI adapter for my 1080p television. I have reset PRAM and SMC to no...

At some point when using El Capitan, I moved one of the home folders out of the startup disk and onto a second internal hard drive, due to space constraints. This caused that user to no longer show up on the list on the login screen, though it could still log in by selecting "other…" and typing...

Hi, I'm setting up my new Mac Mini (2018) as a home file/video/etc server. Old one (2011 server) reconnected to Wifi after remote reboot withawithoutout any problem. New mini unfortunately connects to WiFi only after login which makes it unusable for remote work (I need to reboot now and then...

After logging into my Mac, give about 30 seconds and I am sent back to the lock screen. This happens repeatedly. I’ve tried starting up in Safe Mode, resetting PRAM, and reinstalled the whole thing.

Hello, Thanks for reading first, I am new to this forum. I got a problem about using the Touch ID to unlock my MacBook Pro 15. When every time I lock my screen by click the Apple Icon -> Lock Screen (or cmd + ctrl + Q), Mac locks me out and shows me a password window (first screenshot), and I...

Hi all, I decided to reinstall 10.13.2 today because a third party application I use for work (scientific software) wasn't opening (I know, brute force method, sorry). After reinstalling the OS I arrive at the login screen but it's entirely unpopulated and when I enter my UID and PWD from this...

I know that it is possible to create a lock screen message on a machine that is running FileVault, but is it possible to create a login screen message? It seems that this might be tricky since the boot process does not really even begin until a password is entered. Any thoughts?

Hi All, My school installs an extra start up screen in the macbook and macbook air when you start the machine. the company logo comes up and you have to hit the enter key, then it goes into the regular start up user screen. Where you THEN pick a user and login name. HOW can I remove this first...

Hi everyone! My Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) shows up a console-like screen when starting up and logging in. I can't remember when it started (I think when I tried updating to Sierra but paused it). Here is the screenshot when I login at startup: It doesn't really affect...

Hi, I have different questions that are probably linked to the same problem. Last night when turning on my laptop, i had an unusual login request where it asked my login and password, and couldn't recognize my usual password. I have then searched the forum to look for similar problems and...

Hi, I want to set up my desktop wallpaper as my lock/login screen wallpaper. I have selected a wallpaper from the Mac gallery and have also checked the Caches folder where I have the same image but in blurred format and named as "com.apple.desktop.admin.png". However, my lock/login screen...

Hello. I have two accounts on my mac. Both are administrators. But for some reason, only one (the least used one) is an option for login when the mac is first started up. Once I log into the one account then log off, they're both present. But why is only one of the accounts a login option when...
