Whilst working on iMovie my screen has frozen. Cannot use any menus or dock icons. Tried turning off but asks am I sure. If I press shut down button it doesn't respond. Any ideas?

Cannot use any menus or dock icons. Tried turning off computer but message appeared asking 'am I sure'. If I press shut down button it doesn't respond. Any ideas? I was dropping multiple  clips into my movie/project when it happened.  It has been frozen for over an hour now. I can't hear the driving doing any work.

Thanks a lot. I had previously held the power button down and up popped the 'are you sure' message whhich provided a shut down button to press but it didn't work. Thanks for you help. I'll have a look in iMovie now to see if I've got any corrupted files. Thanks a lot
Kind regards

    Hello Valerie,
    Have you tried a hard reset yet?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    This may or may not work the first time around, so be sure to attempt this procedure at least 3 times.

  • I have just upgraded to OSX Maverick and now my Apple TV has taken over my iTunes videos. I have tried turning off homeshare and iHave gone into system prefs and disabled the remote, but the problem persists. Any ideas.

    After upgrading to OSX Maverick my Apple TV  has taken control of my iTunes videos insisting I have to watch it on my TV. I have tried disabling home sharing on iTunes and on the Apple TV menu, I have also checked the disable Infrared facility in Systems Prefs Security. Even if I put the Apple TV in standby as soon as I hit a key on my iMac, Apple TV comes back on and on my Itunes screen I get the Apple TV logo imprinted on the screen, meaning I can no longer watch it on my MAC, I have run out of ideas. Can anyone help.

    I think you're headed the right direction. There is an AirPlay icon (on mine it is up near the play/pause controls) that I believe is used to set the default desitination for the video to play.
    I'd never seen your issue before, but opened iTunes on a recently-upgraded-to-Mavericks MacBook and it did exactly as you described. While the video was loading, I switched the AirPlay option to the computer instead of ATV and it began playing locally (after a delay as you'd mentioned). I then read this page, which is actually quite old: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1091073, which lead me to the icon near the play/pause button. It now has Computer selected on it, and defaults to play locally instead of the ATV even after quitting and reopening iTunes. I hope that is helpful.

  • I wish to remain with firefox 3.6, the new firefox is very difficult to use because it has no menus. How can I turn off firefox asking me to upgrade?

    I tried firefox 4 and it was like the new gui of win 7. I hate this horrid hidden menu system. Can I have classic menus with firefox 5?

    I agree with you. Firefox 4 and latest upgrades are not intuitive. It is not intuitive to create browsers that automatically load without a 'Menu Bar'. It would appear that the developers have forgotten that not everyone is super savvy with changing the look of their browser. Not providing a simple 'Classic' button was also a huge mistake.
    However, they did provide a method for changing everything.
    Click on the orange 'Firefox' button located top left.
    Hover over 'Options' and a new dropdown list appears.
    Click on 'Menu Bar' to tick it.
    The Menu Bar should reappear and the orange Firefox has gone.
    To get rid of the 'Tabs on Top' follow the same instructions but this time you can see that 'Tabs on top' has a tick next to it. Click on 'Tabs on Top' to remove the tick and you will find the tabs are returned to the correct position below the Toolbars.
    You may also wish to move the 'Home' icon. You can locate it on the far right of the Navigation pane; a small icon with a little house.
    Logically, most people like this icon to follow the Back and forward buttons, but placed before the address bar.
    To move it:
    Click on 'View' then 'Toolbars' then select 'customise'. With this small 'Customise Toolbar' window open you can now hover over the home icon and the cursor will look like an open hand, so left click and hold to grab the icon and drag to a better position if desired. The 'Customise Toolbar' allows you to add eg: printer or place separators to tidy the Navigation toolbar :)

    Did you try restore from teh AppleTV menu connecetd to TV.
    If so sounds as though something went wrong.
    Hook up to a computer using a micro USB cable alone, run iTunes and select the AppleTV to restore:

  • My ipad has a black screen and won't start, any ideas?

    My Ipad 1 has a black screen and won't start, any ideas?  It is charged.

    If Paul's advice doesn't work try this.
    Hold down on the sleep button AND the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
    BTW ...In order to start up under normal circumstances you only need to hold down on the sleep button for a couple of seconds or so until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

    Try to reboot it. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, about 20 seconds or so. It should reboot and work for you.

  • My e-mail screen has frozen showing the message "cannot download the attachment". Touching the "OK" button does nothing.

    My Ipad e-mail screen has frozen while trying to download a photo attachment. An error message "cannot download attachment" is on the screen but touching "OK" does not clear it. Any suggestions please?

    You can also Force close apps
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen

    You said that you keep getting the error code 1604. Did you try putting the iPad into recovery mode and when the error code appears - close iTunes and restart iTunes while the iPad is connected to your PC?
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
