I was trying to update an app but now I can't close it down.  I have tried most things - it keeps saying I must close down the app but it doesn't allow me to do this.  I have powered off the computer but it just comes back.  Any suggestions?

I had been trying to update an app on my IMac and when it came to do it, it said I must close down the app site, in this case WeatherEye.  However, I could not close it down and update says it is waiting.  I have tried everything I know to get rid of this but it remains even when powering off the machine.  Any suggestions?

hey,
try one of these:
open /applications/utilities/terminal.app and type: killall "Applicationname without .app"
open /applications/activity monitor.app press on the app thats buggin ya and press quit/force quit
please share results

  • The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message

    Hello,
    Please help me figure this out. I'm very unhappy at the moment. I'm fustrated and don't have any idea how to revert to the original version before the update was done on iMovie 10. I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again. Please help me. Thanks so much for your assistance.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

  • Error "There was a problem updating your account" and now I can't use editor.

    I've owned my adobe for 4 days now and yesterday I tried opening/editing a photo and it froze up and now will not allow me to do anything because of the error "there was a problem updating your account".  After 4 phone calls of waiting a total of 74 minutes now, I'm a little disappointed at my new purchase & just need help.  Anyone???

    It's a rare day when Windows comes up with an actual solution to an error.
    So, the editor is still shutting down  but the message is now a general "an error has occurred and Photoshop Elements needs to shut down" message?
    See if a reset of your application preference file fixes it.

    Also it's good to look at what the splash screen is saying as it crashes. Usually, it's a good clue.
    If by chance it crashes when reading twain, see this:

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1923 removed itunes after getting error when trying to update. restarted computeer and now i can't download it

    I'm trying to re-install i-tunes on my PC but it won't let me. I had an error message when i loaded i-tunes and then uninstalled it as instructed. what do i do now?

    After I did that I tried to install and it just tells me "Thank you for using itunes" without actually installing it.
    Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    Your apple account is showing you still owe for this download. You wont be able to download anything to you pay your balance. Since it was a "mixup", you should call apple support. Tell them your issue and get your account resolved.

  • HT1222 I was trying to update my iOS to 7.1 but I can't, I have internet connection but if requires WiFi? before I can update my OS just using my phone internet but now I can't. Does OS 7.1 really require WiFi? Thanks!

    I was trying to update my iOS to 7.1 but I can't, I have internet connection but if requires WiFi? before I can update my OS just using my phone internet but now I can't. Does OS 7.1 really require WiFi? Thanks!

    The iPhone requires wi-fi to update if you try to update over the air, since the phone needs to reboot, thus disconnecting itself. You can update via iTunes and the computer, but you would not be able to tether to the phone for the internet connection, since the phone would disconnect. So, you can either update via wi-fi and the phone, or you can update with a computer that has an internet connection other than the phone.

  • I have been trying to change the generes for songs in my I tunes library but it doesn't allow me to do this. Does anyone know how.

    I have been trying to change the generes to some of my songs in my itunes library but it doesn't allow me to do this. Does anyone know how.

    Hello there, reginaairview.
    The following Knowledge Base articles offer some great information in regards to how to change the Genre information on music in iTunes:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
    Edit song or CD information
    Select the song or CD you want to edit, and choose File > Get Info (or press Control-I).
    Click Info and make your changes.
    Tip:   If you’re changing the same information (for example, the genre) for multiple items, you can select all the items and change the information for them at the same time.
    Create your own genre category by clicking Info and typing the category in the Genre field.
    Additionally this article provides some good screen shots of where that is changed under "Editing and arranging content" section:

  • I deleted my iCloud account, but now I can't use Find My iPhone. And I can't setup a new account because it writes that this account was assigned to iCloud already...

    Hi guys. I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5... Its great, I wanted to test out the new iCloud so I enabled it on first iOS 5 setup.
    So now I wanna delete it. So I did. Because my battery just wont work the way it used to on iOS 4.3.5. I guess it tries to connect to the internet so it could auto backup stuff. Well I dont need it. Mainly because I don't want to pay for extra space, and my free 5GB are almost done. Also I rather back it up on my PC.
    I deleted my iCloud account but now I can't use FindMyiPhone! When I connect to the app it wont find my phone. When I enabled iCloud again it worked.
    So I deleted it again and it stoped working again... I tried to setup a new account via MobileMe "Settings> email blah blah blah" and it didn't work because the account was already assigned to use iCloud only I guess...
    What should I do?

    Its solved I just restored it to that point

    Just updated my iphone. Now I can se I have two! iCloud accounts? One of them appears on my phone, and I have forgotten the password. When I try to add the other account, I get the message that this account is already added, but with the name of the first account where there is no available password. I have tried several times to reset the password, bun I don't get the information I need - I have no access to email. What can I do?

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks
