My ipad freeze and cannot shut down

My ipad freeze while my daughter is playing her kids game.i try to shut down the ipad by pressing the start button but it wont help and now battery is drained flat.What can i do after recharging it.Tx

I would try letting the battery die completely. After it's dead you should recharge it and it should work. Before you resort to letting the battery die, try holding the top button and the home button for about 15 seconds. This is the restart feature which usually works when your device is frozen. Good luck!

HT6001 my mac has started freezing and suddenly shutting down on me it seems as if every process has slowed down since downloading this last update of 11.1.4, any solutions? Because it shut down in the middle of a test twice now, saying keyboard issue.

What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

Problem deleting photos and cannot shut down or log out

I have managed to put a whole lot of photos on my desk top which I want to transfer to the trash can (over 5000). When I moved them to trash an error message "Item ....jpg is used by Mac OSX and cannot be opened" and you have to press OK. This is happening for every photo. It won't let me shut down or log out. I don't want to have to press OK 5000 times. Can anyone help?

Dr Bettina, I had similar problems with Mavericks. I installed it on a Mini and a 13" MacBook Pro. I can't speak to your disdplay issues, but I can confirm the inability to logout, shut down, or restarft without a forced, power button shut down. I can also report frequent System Prefs freezes and finder issues, like folder contents taking half a minuite or more to render, or not appearing at all. And while a few Adobe CC apps actually ran faster, InDesign ran like molasses uphill in Decemner.
I tried uninstalling or disabling numerous 3rd party apps and pref panes. I unplugged everything but the keyboard, ran DiskWarrier, repaired permissions, did fsck -f, trashed various preference files, reinstalled the OS... You name it, and I tried it — short of a potion using eye of newt.
After two days of totally hosed productivity, I restored OS 10.8.5 on the Mini so I could actually get some work done. However, I've decided to leave Mavericks on the MBP as a sort of crash dummy, and will install and thoroughly test all updates until stability has been achieved. Then — and only then — will I upgrade the Mini to Mavericks, even if it means waiting 'til a .2 or even .3 update.
Good luck to you...

Finder does not autostart and cannot shut down

After installing Mountain Lion the finder application does not autostart (including the top bar and desktop icons). I can start it manually or by opening another application, and all works normally except that i can not shut down, restart or go to sleep from the apple menu. It is however possible to use reboot and halt from the terminal. Does anyone have idears for fixing this? Any help would be appreciated.

Try booting in Recovery HD (holding down cmd-r keys) and repair disk and repair disk permissions (but turn off Filevault if you use it).
Any unresponsive file servers? Have you disconnected peripherals such as flash cards or other drives?
Guess you also could try out the Trash trick:

Hi elizabeth,
Hold down the power button for 5-10 seconds to shut down, then try again.

Several Apps seem to just mysteriously shut down after using for a while. Same with Safari, I will be using Safari and it shuts down. Face book too. I've reset and shut down my iPad 3 and restart it, but it stills shuts down. What to do?

Several Apps seem to mysteriously shut down after using them for a while. Face Book shuts down , netflix, Safari, and other Apps. They work fine for a short while, or a long while, and then shut down and it brings me to my regular desktop screen. I've tried restarting by completely shutting down the IPad until I see the apple pic and turned it back on, but the shutdowns of apps continue. Anyone else have this issue? It generally started shortly after downloading and installing IOS 7......

Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

This is what worked:
"In iTunes, I signed out of the store. I exited itunes and restarted it, logged back into the store (with my apple id), then I pulled down the iTunes menu in the menu bar and selected Check for updates.
At this point it said that iTunes 11.1 was available and I'm downloading now " Quoted from a fellow user.
It fixed my problem.

I cannot quit the icon for mail. It stays on and because of that, I cannot shut down the computer?

I cannot quit mail, the icon stays on and if I try to shut down the computer, the window appears and tell me to quit mail first and then shut down the computer. How do I get to quit the mail?

Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and shut Mail down from there.

My iPad mini is stuck on the Apple symbol. I tried a reset and it shut down. But when I turned it back on the problem persists thanks for any help

my iPad mini is stuck on the Apple symbol. I have tried a reset and it shut down. When I turned it back on, the problem persists. Thanks for any help.

If the reset doesn't help, the next step would be to restore the device to factory settings using iTunes on a computer. If you can backup the iPad first, do so and then restore to factory settings. If it all works out properly, you can restore the backup after you finish. If you didn't or can't backup, the iPad will be erased when you restore to factory settings.

I just got my shipment and My Ipad mini is just shut down without reasons during upgrading. I'm doing restore it. Does it matter for the future use?

ACtually I really really don't want to use it anymore. I'm so disappointed.

Some friends have told me that their phone can last up to 2 days without charging??
If they are getting 2 days without charging, it's unlikely they use their device very much.
A full day is pretty good....and if I'm careful, I can easily get a full day of usage.
For me, normal is charging the iPhone mid afternoon at work, but I use it a lot.
My typical usage is 35 mins of listening to podcasts, checking email, checking my RSS feed, and checking a few apps while I ride my bike when I first get up. Then listening to several podcasts at work.
I typically stream music while working out during my lunch hour and use the Men's Health Fitness app to track my progress.
By about 2pm I'm ready to charge the device as it's getting low (somewhere between 20% and 50%).
I leave bluetooth, Wi-FI, and location services turned on all the time.
Personally, I just do not see the point in going into settings to turn on the feature when I need it... just too much hassle. All of my listening to podcasts and music is via Bluetooth.
I know I'm not the heaviest user, but I just do not see how anyone can realistically make it two days on a single charge, it makes me think they simply do not use the features of the device and would be just as well served with a basic or feature phone.

SQL 2008 R2: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again

When starting SQL Server 2008 R2 it hangs , and I cannot exit...so when trying to logoff to reset I get the following "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again"Any
ideas?

Big edit...
I have 2008 R2 SP2 installed on my Windows 7 Machine which is also fully updated. The marked answer above is clearly not the solution.
The fix I had posted before did not work. It appeared to work temporarily, but now I am back to the same invisible dialogue. I have not been able to identify any pattern by which this is triggered. I can have an entire day without this
issue and then it appears the next.
The invisible modal dialogue is definitely the connection dialogue. The only way out is to hit the escape key to close it, but then I am no better off without an ability to connect to a server. The dialogue is still invisible when I re-open it.
However, even as I type this post, I have just gotten the dialogue to appear after restarting Management Studio, hitting escape, then clicking connect again. That same pattern failed just minutes ago numerous times. Again, I can't find any pattern.
See you in the clock tower.
