Now that I upgraded to Maverick on my Mac air, I can not use the power button to shut down the computer anymore. any suggestions?

Now that I upgraded to Maverick on my Mac air, I can not use the power button to shut down the computer anymore. I now have to go to the apple icon in the upper left corner.  Any short cuts instead of going to the apple in the top left corner and hitting shut down.  Doing that all the time, I feel like I am back at work using a "Windows" computer.

This a is tricky one, but you can still do it. Instead of pressing the power button, hold it down for a few seconds and then you'll see the shut down options dialog pop up.
I guess they were trying to prevent accidental touching of that button. They did something similar with the Eject button a few versions ago, where you have to hold down Eject instead of just tapping it so that you don't pop out a CD by mistake.

  • I have an iMac that has no connectivity with the mouse.  I have replaced the batteries in the mouse.  As a result, we can not use the computer as the mouse won't move

    I have an iMac which the mouse has lost connectivity.  Batteries on mouse have been replaced and green light on mouse is on.
    I can now use the computer as it does not respond to mouse or it appears to the keyboard.  Just not sure if it is a problem with the computer its self?
    Thanks

    I would highly recommend you run a test by trying another mouse with the iMac and see if that fixes it.  That would tell you the problem is Not with the iMac itself.
    Hope this helps

  • My main account on my iPad is based off an email address that no longer exists and can not be recreated.  On top of that I forgot the password and answers to the security questions.  So I can not reset the password.  any suggestions?

    I Now get constant pop ups to logon to iCloud but it wants a password that I forgot.  I also forgot the security question answers.  It can not email me a password reset because the email no longer exists and Verizon won't let me recreate it.  I know this will sound crazy but when I created the original Apple account with the old email address I put in a bogus birthdate because I do not like giving out personal info.
    i Just want to do something to stop the iCloud popups.

    Try contacting Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset its password.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've done that update the primary email address on the account to be an account that you have access to e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com

  • Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow.  Any help anywhere?

    wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.

  • Since upgrading to mavericks my applications crash when i try to use the print dialogue

    since upgrading to mavericks my applications crash when i try to use the print dialogue

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • I downloaded the full Ultimate Christmas.  I have a corrupt song.  I have Windows XP so I can not use the iTunes Cloud.  It says that is the only way to re-download songs now is via the Cloud.  How do I get a uncorrupted version of my song?

    I downloaded the full Ultimate Christmas.  I have a corrupt song.  I have Windows XP so I can not use the iTunes Cloud.  It says that is the only way to re-download songs now is via the Cloud.  How do I get a uncorrupted version of my song?
    When I thing of the Thousands of dollars I have spent to get a 2000 song library and how Applle keeps screwing Windows users (no back-up of songs) I just think what a fool I was.

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

    Hey everyone-
    Im in the same boat, started a thread . My hands free system worked fine with iOS 8 out of the box new iphone 6. Did the update this morning and i can stream music perfectly fine however i cannot make or receive calls through hands free system.
    I have not tried resetting the settings like most people indicate is working. I feel like I shouldn't have to reset anything, even less mess with settings with an update coming from apple. it should "Just Work"
    Some people who reset said it works for a few hours, other say it don't work, and I don't know what I should do.

    NOTE: I was able to replicate the issue in my wifes Hyunday Elentra 2013.
    This is how I know its not a defect with the BT in my car.

    You did the wrong things. In the future it's a good idea to remember not to do something when you don't know what you are doing and what happens when you do it.

  • My daughter disconnected her iPod nano from the lead before ejecting the device.  It no longer syncs and we have re-set the device, but it now only occasionally appears on the computer screen any suggestions please?

    Restoring the iPod will do nothing to his iPhone.
    When you restore it wipes the iPod clean no matter what computer you use.
    The only plus to doing it form your home computer is if you have a backup stored there, then you can restore from the backup once it's done wiping.
    If you are away form your home computer, go ahead and use the computer you have to restore it, then when you get home, you can restore form any backup you may find. You can use this to help you do that when you get there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

  • Updated to Mavericks and I get the upper left quarter of the screen blacked out on Time Machine. This means that I can't see the files. Any suggestions for getting rid of the black square?

    Ive tried disconnecting and reconnecting the Time Machine. And I've tried rebooting the iMac, but I still get the top left hand quarted of the screeen blacked out. I can scroll back through the back-ups but the back square means that I can't see the details of any file.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
