Have been syncing my iPhone to my eMac. as it has my most complete iTunes library. Now when I try to log in, a message comes up. "You are unable to log in to the user account -- at this time". I have restarted the computer, shut it down and tried again over a couple of days. Same message keeps coming up when I try to log in. Help, please!?!

Is this a "User" or "Admin" account that you're trying to log into?

It's an admin account.

To clarify - I am tha administrator of the computer, but this message is appearing when I try to log in from the login window.

The second half would be relevent to you. Almost had to do this for my son's emac, but luckily didn't have to. Attempt at your own risk.
