When I turn on my iMac the circle just spins and my Mac doesn't turn on. I tried holding command and support and that didn't work. Any suggestions?

  • Since i updated to Firefox4 i can no longer save tabs on closing - searched help - says settings may be wrong but no suggestions how to fix. i tried the "corrupted files" change and that didn't work either.

    Why don't my tabs save anymore when i close Firefox. I'm not asked to save and i want to! i've tried looking in the help database and it does suggest settings may be wrong but does not offer any suggestions to fix.

    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session.
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Another possibility is to use:
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
    You can set the warn prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page to <b>true</b> via the right-click context menu or toggle the value with a double left-click.
    * browser.showQuitWarning, see http://blog.zpao.com/post/3174360617/about-that-quit-dialog
    * browser.tabs.warnOnClose, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
    * browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit

    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • The circle just spins and stays for hours on the payment page for Creative Cloud - won't go any further!

    This is all that will happen after i go thru the steps of payment to download PS 6.  I already have PS 5 and would rather transfer that from old computer, so this makes me more mad. I can't find anywhere to use the older version and use my Serial number to use PS5. I appreciate both of these being addressed.  thank you so much

  • So my home button stopped working due to water damage. I put it in the microwave(for real no joke) so the water can evaporate. 2 seconds in and the screen sparked blue and now its not working any suggestions on helping me fix it?

    Please help me guys itll be a great help

    Hey Peter, I think your missing the big picture. Your iPod is past repair, corrosion, is a real issue with water damage, but your problem took a turn for the worst when you attempted to use a microwave to dry it out. I see you found another post from July 2012, where someone else tried to nuke there iPod, and got the same results you have-- a dead iPod. The blue sparks, burnt smell and still not working all confirms one thing... Your iPod is not repairable. What the water didn't damage the microwave did. By attempting to microwave, you for all intensive purposes hit your iPod with an EMP, (Electro-Magnetic Pulse), in the first split second you overloaded the workings of your iPod and burned it up! There is is no way of known which circuits and components have been damaged and to what extend. You may be able to get a refurbished iPod, but it is unclear that Apple will allow it, because of the type of damage, it's not like this was an accident, you deliberately put it in the microwave in a misguided attempt to dry it out. when the microwave turned on it hit ever chip, diode, capacitor etc. with more power than it was designed to handle, in short; you baked it, burned it up, fried it, call it what you want, but it's not going to work! To attempt to repair is a meaningless gesture, (and probably will cost more than it's worth), chalk this one up as bad ideas 101-- learn from it, move on, and get yourself a new iPod. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

  • Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

    Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • When I try to open any applications on my Macbook Pro (including finder) the cursor just spins and nothing happens.

    It loads as if nothing were wrong, but when I try to click on any program, the cursor just spins and spins. Even when I click the Apple in the upper left corner nothing happens. The cursor just spins. When I hit the keys for force quit, nothing happens. Nothing will open.
    I've loaded it in Safe mode, verified the disk (it was okay), and verified and repaired permissions and I am still having issues. When I load in Safe mode, all applications work just fine. I've deleted all contents of my downloads folder (before my computer messed up, the last thing downloaded on my computer was a word document from my friend's email that she'd opened on previous computers with no issue). I don't know what else to do. I have Windows loaded on my Mac and can log-in the Windows side with no problems (that's how I've been using my computer since my Mac side has stopped working).
    I'm running version 10.6.8.
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • In itunes 10.6, when I click to burn a cd, it takes 10 minutes for the  "Burn Settings" screen that allows me to choose which cd burner to use to be displayed. I have tried setting the UpperFilters to "GEARAspiWDM" and LowerFilters to null. Any suggestion

    Many thanks for the diagnostics.
    Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2380.
    Error while opening iTunes CD driver.  This could be caused by a corrupted iTunes file or a conflict with other older CD burning applications, either currently installed or previously installed and uninstalled incorrectly.
    With that one, I'd start with solution 3 from the following document:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install

  • My Photos app stopped working last week.  It opens to the welcome splash screen, but when i select get started, the wheel starts spinning and that's all that happens.  When I try to close it, it says it's creating a library, but never ends.

    I have been using Photos since the update.  I had no problems until last week when it stopped working.  Despite the fact that I've been using it, it opens to the welcome splash screen with the "Get Started" button.  When I click it, the wheel starts spinning and that's all that happens until eventually force quit it using the apple menu.  Can anyone help?

    OK, so apparently you have the MBW connected via the software equivelent of a crossover cable- ethernet frames but no routing.  Not sure what negative impact that has or doesn;t have. Certainly its not how the drive was intended to work - it would be far easier to just have a USB connection for that.
    WD software in general has a very bad history. Note that some drives have been lost entirely due to incompatability with Mavericks - read the tips section here for mroe details, btu i would NOT use it.
    I cant help you with WD software. But the first task is to access the drive and make sure you can communicate with it. I would go to the main drive to do that. From there you should be abke to remove the partition for the backup, and begin over with something less troublesome - such as Carbon Copy Cloner, Time MAchine ( i dont use it and did nt much like it) or , my preferred method, good old unix rsync.
    In any event, your prpoblem is one of authorization. So first see if the drive is responding in general ( try to access it the normal way), then move to that particular volume.

    Everytime I open an app on my Imac the colored wheel spins and computer locks up without opening what I want.  I can't get past my initial screen saver screen.  Can't even go to Apple/AboutThis Mac... color wheel just starts and doesn't stop.

    Care to share which OS you are using?

  • I have a Gotality Heart Monitor accessory and my iPhone 4 is not reading it. I restored the phone and cleaned out the 30 pin jack and still no luck. Any suggestions without going to a apple store. Thanks

    I recieved a gotality heart monitor accessory and my iPhone doesn't read the accessory when attached to phone. The accessory works on my friends iPhone 4, so the accessory works. I restored my phone and cleaned out the 30 pin jack and still no luck. Any suggestion without going to the apple store. Thanks.

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

  • I need internet explorer 5.5 or greater in order to use an online course. I can see that there isn't a mac explorer update but is there another way? I tried the wine bottler app and it didn't work for me.

    Buy and install Windows.
    Then you have IE
    Of course you can always do as I do when some idiot, usually with the government, tell me I need to IE. I say no. After saying no enough times they mail me a form.
    I don't believe in Microsoft.

  • I recently downloaded the iTunes 11.0.5 for Mac OS X and the iTunes store comes up as a blank page. I have already tried re-downloading iTunes and that didn't work... How can I get it to work?

    I recently downloaded the iTunes 11.0.5 for Mac OS X and the iTunes store comes up as a blank page. I have already tried re-downloading iTunes and that didn't work... How can I get it to work?

    I was able to fix mine. I went to software update and updated a few things. I did not update everything, but only what I thought were the essentials, which I believe was Safari, a security update, and a firmware update.
    Then I deleted and reinstalled Itunes yet another time. Now the itunes store is back up again.
