10.11.5 el capitan / no login screen / black
After installation, I can not connect to OS X because (speculation: the LoginWindow service does not start).
- Screen black (but always on)
- No "cursor in the corner.
- Occasional spinner
- Finally, turned more
- Cannot start in safe mode
- Reset the SMC
- Reset the PRAM
I can connect via ssh. From there, I can see via system.log that LoginWindow is continually start and stop and it seems to be an auth problem.

A glance at:
http://www.NetworkWorld.com/article/3012241/Macs/a-fix-for-the-OS-x-black-screen - of - doom.html
suggests I should turn to 'use iCloud password' (which can be enabled), but I don't see how to do it from the CLI.
If you do not already have a current backup, please backup all data, and then reinstall the OS. * you don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need the backup unless something is wrong. If the system has been upgraded an earlier version of Mac OS X, you may need to the Apple ID and password to use.
There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.
If you installed the runtime Java distributed by Apple, and still need, you will need to reinstall it. It goes the same for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
Related support article refers to OS X 10.11 ("El Capitan"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions.

Message starts with the iMessage login screen
Mac OS X Sierra Message app starts with an iMessage login screen, however; When I get my good Apple ID and password, nothing happens. When I enter incorrect information, it appears with a red warning text indicating that Apple & /or password ID are incorrect.
How to past the login screen? My information is correct, but the program will not always be in front of the login screen
Hello
He was working before you upgrade to the Sierra?
No chance that your logic/mother Board has been replaced?
This keeps the serial number of the Mac and is used to provide a specific connection of the device.
Go to the Menu icon Apple and select about this Mac.
Tab preview is to display the serial number. (if this is not you must go to an Apple Store or the repairer so it will be again).
Go to the menu icon Apple once again, but hold down the ALT key and select System Info.
Open Hardware > network > locations
The list on the right list en0 for one of your connections?
On the old Mac en0 was Ethernet and Wi - Fi and Thunderbolt on newer Gets the following figures.
There are some Mac without Ethernet en0 so can Wifi
You can also look in Applications/Utilities and open the network utility and use the Info tab and fall down.
Is missing the en0 then you need to remove some system side .plists and restart the Mac.
I saw some information to remove all these
Note the path bar across the bottom.
Simply remove the Airport (WiFi), one maybe.
If they did not work, then after that the appeal of Apple process is lengthy to explain.
(you can get blocked by devices and this requires the server reset on your Apple ID on a single device)

iMac returns to the login screen once logged on 10.11.6 version
After you install the update for El Capitan 10.11.6 my iMac (21.5 "mid-2010) returns to just login screen after I connect. The disc is fine and the permissions are correct. I can start safe mode and connect without problems. Any ideas?
Greetings JPfromFairfield,
Thanks for your post. I see that your Mac goes back to the login screen after you connected. You mentioned that you have done to ensure that the disc is fine and the permissions are good. Those who are very advanced. I know how much I rely on my Mac so I'll be more than happy to help.
With your computer is able to start properly in Mode safe, this indicates that there may be a third-party service that is causing problems. I have some articles for you to check.
OS X El Capitan: If you have problems with startup items
OS X El Capitan: login users & groups preferences pane items
You can remove all items start and the login items, and then test to see if you can boot normally, if you can, you can add one item at a time and continue his tests to see how the origin of the problem.
Take care!

How to you turn off the user invited on the login screen?
How do disable you the guest user account on the login screen?
Basically, I have a brand new Macbook, but can't for the life of me figure out how to get rid of the guest user account.
Summary:
- MacBook 2016
- El Capitan 10.11.6
- FileVault is enabled
- Find my Mac is disabled
- Comments User in users and groups is set to Off
Tried the following from another forum:
1. make sure that 'find my Mac' and guest user are disabled, restart;
2. check if the system integrity Protection is enabled or disabled by running: csrutil status to the Terminal.
3 if she says ' Protection of the integrity of system status: activated. "go to 4.1.
4. If not, only 4.4 and 4.7;
4.1 restart in "Recovery Mode": stop and hold command + R after pressing the power button.
4.2 go in "utilities > Terminal" and run the command: csrutil disable.
4.3 restart;
4.4 open the Terminal and run: sudo touch /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/EFILogin.framework/Resources/EFIResourceBuild er.bundle/Contents/Resources, this will force the update of the connection EFI;
4.5 reboot (again) in "Recovery Mode": stop and hold command + R after pressing the power button.
4.6 go in "utilities > Terminal" and run the command: Activate csrutil;
4.7 reboot and it's fixed!
4.8 re activate 'Find my Mac' as you wish.
- FileVault is enabled
You cannot disable the Guest user. This is especially in the case where you cannot unlock your hard drive. It provides a limited capacity of Safari so that you can access the services of help on the internet.

Login screen of the MacBook is weird.
Hello! Login screen of my computer is weird. The colors are darker and the cursor moves more slowly than usual. Everything started after I updated my MacBook (retina, 12 inch, early 2015) to OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. Everyone knows about this problem? Is it possible to fix it?
If that had happened to me, I would try Safe Mode boot because that passes through a few additional system checks.

login screen Remote desktop showing on mac client connection
Hello
is there a way to prevent the display of the login screen, when connecting to a Remote Desktop client workstation? The connection is already arranged with a login, so now I need to identify 'twice'. First time with AutoConnect when you click on a workstation in Remote desktop and second manually when the other customer's screen opens. This was not in Yosemite, but appeared first in El Capitan and it's kind of annoying.
I use the old worgroupmanager to control the use of USB devices. It interacts with the login screen, too?
Is there a way I can avoid this login screen?
I have a machine that is the Mountain Lion, without Workgroupmanger, and this is the normal behavior without any login screen.
In fact, it was the Workgroup Manager. You need to disable the connection to local users only, which is enabled by default.

Login screen that appears suddenly - while I am using the machine
It started quite recently. Apparently randomly, the login screen is displayed once. If I log in, everything works still.
These are the error messages:

Any suggestions?
I'm on 10.11.1
Check first for what is obvious: OS X El Capitan: set your Mac to connect when not in service
From what you describe, you use actively the Mac in such a case is not likely to be a factor anyway.
- Are a crash reports generated?
- You have any peripheral external display connected?
- Do you know have installed all OS X third party changes, anything, but specifically those who may come into conflict with GPU automatic pass? A sure start will eliminate this uncertainty.
- Reset the SMC.
That's all I can think of for now.

Hello. Since I upgraded to macOS Sierra, my early 2015 MacBook Pro freezes on the login screen. I tried clean install, reinstall, SMC reset, reset the NVRAM. Nothing seems to help. I can finally drag the cursor to the button stop, but it takes a while. Once it starts up again it is fine... until I have restart or stop again. Any thoughts? Thank you.
Try to start in safe mode (hold down the key of the SIFT when starting) once or twice. The login screen freezes?

BONES of Sierra crashing to the LOGIN screen while using the service of mission control.
After Sierra OS upgrade my MacBook Pro hangs on login screen every time I have used the function of mission control.
Hey hernj103,
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. I can see your post after upgrading to Mac OS Sierra that reboots your MacBook Pro, if you use mission control. There could be a number of reasons that could cause this and I want to help you have a reliable working Mac, so I'm here to help! If you have not already done, you want to make sure that you have a backup of your data and you can use the option in the link below:
Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac
Once your data is secure, you'll want to test this function in Mode safe mode and see if you get the same effect. Safe mode (sometimes called secure boot) is a way to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks and prevents certain software from loading automatically or opening. Also, it verifies your startup disk and trying to fix problems if necessary directory and delete font caches, hiding the kernel and other files of the system cache. The following link can show you how to start your MacBook Pro in Mode safe.
Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning
If you continue to have problems after the safe boot mode, let know us and we can continue to solve the problems there.
See you soon.
