i want to turn my macbook air off. the shut down button already appeared but the mouse/cursor just hang and won't work. even after pressing the enter button to shut my mac off won't work. what will i do?

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot.

    Hi Patrick,
    Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

    Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts.

  • Ok so I am having issues with charging my iPad as well. So I took advice from this forum and yes, if you turn the brightness down my iPad charges. Thanks Apple I just went and spent money on a new charger I didn't need. Really you need to fix this issue.

    Wow. Okay...
    I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
    My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

    To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
    4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
    I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

    It's easier to just show you -

    The window keeps popping us as if the power button is continually being pressed... however it's not. I've tried mashing the button a few times to see if I can get it unstuck but no luck. Ugh this is so annoying because even if I leave the message open and continue work on another window, it will refresh and become the active window again making me have to click to a different window again to repeat work. Typing this forum entry, for instance, was a pain in the butt because of this.
    Probably has something to do with the coffee that was spilt on it a year ago... but I haven't had anyissues until now. Please advise, is there away to turn it off? any work arounds anyone knows of?

    Check this or maybe the coffee has finally taken it's toll and you might want to take ot in to Apple.

  • Cm.jar is working even after deleting the jar from Server

    Hi,
    To update the environment with the new changes we had manually copied the cm.jar into the respective folders but due to some class errors Deployment was not successful,So as a matter of trial we had deleted cm.jar from the respective folders and then we had ran the initialsetup,
    Strange thing what we have observed is that all the custom logic which was initially deployed through cm.jar was still exisiting in the applicationserver and are getting executed smoothly
    This is the process what we have followed
    Method 1:
    1)     Stop server
    2)     
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/etc/conf/root/WEB-INF/lib
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/etc/conf/XAI-APP/WEB-INF/lib
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/ splapp/businessapp
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/ splapp/ standalone/lib
    3)     Run InitialSetup
    4)     Start Server
    Method 2:
    1)     Stop server
    2)     Set Exploded directories to true
    3)     Initial Setup
    4)     
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/splapp/applications/root/WEB-INF/lib
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/ splapp/applications /XAI-APP/WEB-INF/lib
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/ splapp/businessapp
    Copy cm.jar to SPLBASE/ splapp/ standalone/lib
    5)     Run InitialSetup
    6)     Start Server
    Method 3:
    1)     Cm packaging.
    Even after removing cm.jar from all places manually my custom code which I deployed initially is working. I could run custom batch and custom algorithm. Very Strange. I am not sure what I missed or where application is referring to.
    We want the old code to be removed permanently from server?Can you anyone help?
    Thanks
    shiva

    Hi Mr Shankar,
    Even if you have deleted the cm.jar file from respective location.It do exist in splapp.war file.If you will extract that file you will find the cm.jar file in /splapp/web-inf/lib/cm.jar location.So whenever you will run the initialsetup it will restore the cm.jar.This thing is happening in your case also.So delete the file from splapp.war and rebuild the war.This will solve your issue.
    Hope it will work for you.

  • Being disabled I use sticky keys and since Firefox 28 (even after Reset) the Alt key doesn't work as a sticky key and Ctrl fires twice eg. Ctrl-v copies twice.

    This still happens after upgrading to FF 29.
    I have a 64bit Windows 7 system.
    Initially, it seemed to be OK but after only a few minutes it was back to this behaviour.
    Other symptoms:
    1. When I also have Accessibility Mouse Keys enabled, while typing it automatically switches the default click button to the Right button
    2. Ctrl-t inserts 2 tab pages and Ctrl-w closes two!
    3. everything works fine if used as normal ie. hold the Ctrl or Alt down while pressing the action letter..
    Running in Safe mode with no extensions didn't help neither did using after Reset

    From your System Details, it looks like user.js is currently active in Firefox. The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
    You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release. You can get to the profile folder below:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Show Folder
    or
    *Go to '''about:support''' and click Show Folder next to Profile Directory.

  • My iPod unexpectedly stopped working. It won't turn on even after pressing the power button for 1 minute. My iTunes no longer "recognizes" the iPod and is forcing me to restore it but I'm not sure if that will work! HELP!!!!!!

    Thank you and please respond as fast as possible -----

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT3964 USB port not working even after resetting the SMC and PRAM, what can I do now?

    Hi All,
    I've got the "USB port draining too much energy" error message a couple of weeks ago and since then I've tried many times to reset the PRAM and SMC but still, one of my USB port is not working.
    Could anyone please tell what I can do next ??
    Thanks a lot

    If you live near an apple store make an appointment.  They will perform a DFU restore using known good equipment.
    If that doesn't work you probably have liquid damage.
