IMAC PAUSES, Stops and Goes HELP!!!

Hello,
I bought my computer in November. It is a 24" Imac. I have a pausing problem myself. It got so bad I brought the computer back to Apple and they reload Leopard for me from the beginning. Again, my computer is pausing when I do everything. It's getting so bad that my wife has noticed it and now asking me why I went from Windows to Apple. (OUCH) Plus, she knows nothing about computers. I need help quick. Any one out there with any answers would help. I am sick of things stopping and going with everything I do.
Thanks
Scott

silentpartner,
Unless your issues match a known problem, (wouldn't appear too likely if no result from the Apple Hardware Test) before Apple will accept your iMac for hardware repairs, you'll have to prove it's not a software issue by reinstalling the OS. FWIW, if it's a hardware issue and in particular if the hard drive needs replacing, you'll want to back up your important data anyway, prior to turning it in for any repair.

  • When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two

    When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two.
    It did it with my old iPhone 4 in last month or so, and it I hoped it would go once I updated to new iPhone 5. The problem has transferred to new phone too.
    I can't sign in to iTunes account on iPhone. It takes the password then resets to baseline. No error message comes up. On the base computer (pc) it will allow me to sign up and buy songs, apps etc. I can then sync the phone and put them on it. It just won't let me buy direct from the .
    As there are no error messages I am at a loss what to do. I have updated the payment details on my account, and my husband has an iPhone 4 and has no such problems. We share the same wifi. I have tried with 3G as well as wifi, with no luck.
    I am pretty much out of ideas, and have tried searching forums but there is so much overlap between queries that I can't find a similar problem from someone else, but I am sure it exists!
    Can anyone please help me?
    Thanks in advance

    I figured it out!
    I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
    Anyone in similar position:
    Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
    Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
    Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
    Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
    Hope that helps

    My iMessage doesn't work on my iPad. My software is up to date, wifi is working, apple ID is working but the verification stops and goes back to sign on. Why does this happen?

    Look at no. 5 in this text which was copied from Apple's support site for troubleshooting Messages and FaceTime activation.
    Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
    After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. You can complete activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
    If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.

    Why won't OS X Mavericks start downloading when I click the download button? It thinks and acts like it starts downloading with the thinking circle moving then stops and goes away. I have tried going to the purchases in the app store and restarting it there and that is not working either.

    Repair permissions, restart your computer & try again. 

  • TS1362 I have downloaded the song "Bruises" by Band of Skulls and it plays to about 1.20 remaining and then just stops and goes to the next song. How do you fix this?

    I have downloaded the song "Bruises" by Band of Skulls and it plays to about 1.20 remaining and then just stops and goes to the next song. How do you fix this?

    I removed the song from the itunes library and then added it again, but the same issue still exists.
    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store, then.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Slideshows Music stops and goes back to the beginning

  • M45 S355 recovery stops and goes to blank screen

    I am trying to do a full system restore on an M45 S355 using the recovery disk.
    It goes through the process, to the screen that says to remove all diskettes and disks from their drives and hit a key to continue.
    So I remove the CD and hit a key.  At that point, the hard drive stops, and it goes to a blank screen.  The computer is still on, it just won't do anything else past this point.
    If I turn the computer off using the power button and then turn it back on, I get the screen where I can choose safe mode, last good config, start windows normally, etc.
    No matter which option I choose, it does the same thing -- hard drive stops and I get a blank screen.
    Any ideas/suggestions?

    Try popping it on charge for 15 min and then pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds.
    Mine did the same thing yesterday.

  • Pause, Stop and Resume buttons

    Hi Everyone,
    I've got a fairly short little animation sequence that the folks here at my work would like to insert into one of our web pages on our site.  It's a demo on how to use one of our products, so I'd like to add a few buttons so the user can pause and then resume the entire movie.  There is absolutely no scripting applied to the FLA right now.
    Could someone please get me started with this?  I've been working on another project that involves scripting some buttons with AS3, so I have some knowledge, but am still having a lot of difficulty, so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    To stop/pause a movie you command it to : stop();
    To play/start a movie you command it to: play();
    That's really all you need to have your buttons do in their event handler functions.

  • IMAC screen freezes and goes blue....

    this just started yesterday - I did not add any programs or update any software recently. I have since added Norton and scanned for viruses.
    PROBLEM: my system freezes and the screen goes blue. It does not "wake" back up right away and after it goes blue a few times, it stays blue and I have to hard boot. If I leave the system off for about an hour, I'll get a few hours out of it before this happens.
    DIAG: As stated above, I checked for viruses. I also ran all available diagnostics, and am fresh out of new ideas. Since I can't open my iMac without voiding the warrantee, I can't check for any possible burst or bulging capacitors. I disconnected all perperials and still have the same issue.
    HYPOTHESIS: I am heavily leaning toward a hardware problem, but before I take the trip to the Apple store, I wanted to reach out to the forum to see if anyone else has had this problem?
    This is an early 2006 Intel based 20" iMac that I have been running (24x7) since late August 2006. I never had an issue with my first iMac (pre-Intel).
    HELP!!!

  • Youtube and videos keep downloading so that the lecture stops and goes on by "increments"each 2 seconds

    Youtube and videos are not running fluently the way they did.  It goes on downloading each 2 seconds. What can I do to solve the issue ? Thank you for your help.

    Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Sometimes it's necessary to uninstall then reinstall that plugin.
    Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
    Now launch Safari and try a video.
    If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
    You may also need to delete the cache associated with Safari .
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy/paste:   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.

  • How do I switch through the English and Spanish keyboards on my ipod touch while I am typing instead of stopping and going into settings?

    I went into settings and added the Spanish keyboard on to my ipod touch. But here's the thing. If I have the keyboard in English, while I am typing I can't use any Spanish because it wants to correct all my words and turn them into English words, and this happens vice versa when typing in Spanish and it makes corrections in English. When I type I am constantly switching back and forth between Spanish and English. Is there any way to change the keyboard language while I am at the typing screen? For example on my Samsung Galaxy 4g, all I have to do when I want to switch languages is swipe my finger on the space bar key from left to right. That way I don't have to stop writing, go into the phone settings and find the language and switch it, slowing me down considerably because I would have to stop every few minutes.  Is there no way to do something like this on my ipod touch?? 
    Sarita

    Use the Globe key.  Hold it down and you will get a list, or just hit it to switch.
    The Globe key should appear if you have more than one keyboard chosen in settings.

  • My ipad just stops and goes back to the desktop?

    This just started this week - each time I access an app - even Safari is just stops working and reverts back to the desktop? Is anyone else seeing this as well?

    Try closing all of your apps completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    For Safari you could also try clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)

  • TRYING TO PLAY CANDY CRUSH AND IPAD STOPS AND GOES TO HOMEPAGE

    Start to play game then suddenly goes to homepage.. very irritating

    Close all of the apps on your iPad, reboot and then try the game again.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    You may need to delete the game and reinstall it if that doesn't work, or you might want to try keeping any other apps in the resents tray to a minimum when you play this game.
