A black screen come out, pass the power button to should down. (Intel i7)

_*Every times*_ when I click to download a *Windows exe file (.exe)*, a *black screen* to tell me to pass the power button to *should down*.
_*Every times*_ when I using *Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac*, I'm at the Windows XP starting up, and has a *black screen* to tell me to pass the power button to *should down*.

I bring my MacBook Pro (Intel i7) to the Apple store, they said is the Norton Internet Security 4.1.0 causing that happen.
The Apple store said uninstall the Norton Internet Security 4.1.0 and wait for the new version.

  • IPad 2 has a black screen which lights up to a grey black screen when I press the power or home button

    iPad 2 has a black screen which lights up to a grey black screen when I press the power or home button but I dont see the apple logo. The battery is fully charged and when I plug it in to my computer, I can use iTunes to do everythng except backup the iPad since its passcode locked. Please help me resolve this problem. I don't have apple care

    Yup! I've been there! You just have to double-tap the screen with three fingers and the zoom should go back. You have to turn off the feature in Settings>Accessibility>Zoom>and turn the switch off so this won't happen again when you double-triple tap.

  • IMac keep shutting down black screen then have to hold power button down then turn it on again i did this 4 times in all of a period of 5 minutes what to do ??

    iMac keep shutting down black screen then have to hold power button down then turn it on again i did this 4 times in all of a period of  15 minutes what to do ??

    Hmm. The problem still may be the RAM - Apple buys the RAM it puts in its machines from third-party vendors (usually Hynix) so it could be a RAM problem.
    There are a couple of things that you can do yourself before taking your machine into an Apple Store or an AASP... download and run an application named Rember that will run a RAM test for you - let it run for a couple of hours or even overnight. If it turns out that your RAM is faulty, Rember will let you know. If it is faulty, then you have a couple of options - replace the RAM yourself or (particularly if you're under warranty still) take the machine to an Apple Store or AASP and have them replace the RAM.
    If Rember finds no fault with the RAM, then you'll need to take it into an Apple Store/AASP and get a free diagnosis on the machine. Three beeps do usually indicate faulty RAM, but if it tests good with Rember you likely have another problem - it could be something as simple as the RAM, somehow, not seated correctly or signs of another hardware problem.
    Run Rember first... call back with results.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

    My Iphone rings but screen is blank held the power button for more than 10 sec but in vain

    Hello waseem.abdul_hadi,
    It may be that your Screen Curtain has been activated. This can be deactivated by triple-tapping the screen with three fingers.
    Turn the screen curtain on or off. Triple-tap with three fingers. When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off.

  • 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.

  • Safari will lock up on my MacBook Pro. Force quit doesn't help. When I try to restart the computer, I get an error saying Safari cancelled the restart. I have to press the power button to shut down the computer.

    While I'm using safari,  it will freeze up. When I force quit safari and reopen it, I find that I'm back to where I was when I did the force quit and safari remains locked up. When I try to restart the computer, I get a pop up that says that safari cancelled my restart. I then press the power button to shut down the computer. When I reboot the computer and open safari, I see all the tabs and windows that were opened when this issue began, only this time safari isn't frozen. This problem started yesterday.
    Has anyone experienced the same problem? Is there a fix for this problem?

    Try Resetting Safari: Open Safari. Cick on the name Safari in the menu bar. In the drop down menu click Reset Safari.

  • Black screen, powers up without hitting power button

    After 6 months my iMac G5 20" rev. B working fine (other than failing to sleep automatically - will sleep display but hard drive does not power down) I'm having problems. The screen goes black and I cannot re-boot: I get power but the screen either stays black or, sometimes, freezes at gray. I have repeatedly tried resetting PRAM and PMS.
    After 1.5 hours with an AppleCare rep, with no success starting the machine, I took it to my local Apple Store and (of course) they were unable to replicate the problem, although they did run Techtool on it all day and found no problems with either the hard drive or the memory. (I'm a little ticked that they didn't even bother to read the notes from the AppleCare rep - the attitude seemed to be that neither the AppleCare rep nor I knew what the heck we were talking about.)
    So I took it back home and lo and behold it did start up normally. So (after backing up my files) I did a complete erase with only stock Apple programs reinstalled. It worked fine for a few hours but then the exact same thing happened: black screen, unable to start up although I get power (the screen stays frozen at black for about 60 seconds, and then the fans come on full speed which I understand is because there's no OS running to regulate them). Only now there's one new development: whenever I plug the iMac back in - whether by pulling the plug out of the back of the unit, or unplugging the cord at its far end - the computer automatically powers up without my pressing the power button. That happens even after I've used the power button to turn it off. That seems weird as well as potentially a safety issue.
    I have it in for servicing again - this time, to the local reseller I bought it from, because they don't require an appointment and force you to wait around for hours merely watching them run Techtool - after another hour-long session with an AppleCare rep was unable to get it working and the rep said it was "definitely" a hardware problem. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had similar issues: especially the "powers on without pushing the power button" phenomenon.
    I have 2G aftermarket RAM but don't think that's the problem because the same issues occur regardless which RAM stick is in the machine, even after resetting PRAM and PMS and doing the system erase and install. Also, the Apple Store did test the memory with Techtool and said it was fine.

    After again experiencing problems I took the iMac back to the reseller where I bought it. They were able to replicate the defect and I received a new logic board. The invoiced cost (covered by warranty, luckily!) was $1,067 for the logic board and $85 for labor. The hard drive was erased but OSX Tiger was pre-installed when I picked up the computer. (BTW, Backup 3 is a very nice backup utility!) Now my iMac seems to be working perfectly, and the energy saver/sleep function works normally again.

  • Mid-2010 15in. MacBook Pro going to black screen requiring reset by holding power button

    Hello all,
         I have been searching for a problem solution for quite some time now. I have a mid-2010 15" Macbook Pro (2.4GHz Intel I5; 4 GB mem) updated to version 10.7.5. The computer randomly goes to a black screen, while the program / movie / whatever is still running (I can hear the sound) and then stalls. I then have to hold the power button down until it will reset. I will post the error message at the end of this.
         I have wiped the computer clean and reinstalled everything and that did not help. I am no longer under Apple warrenty and hoping that someone has experienced. Short of me finding an answer I will take it in to Apple. Thanks in advance for any help!

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
    Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you'll be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a depot repair. The model was discontinued in February 2011, so the replacement program will be ending quite soon.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.
    If it's too late for your unit to be repaired under the program, and you don't want to pay for a new logic board, you may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

    Hey, since I have updated to 10.6.3 I have a similar issue. When I put my macbook pro to sleep and I come back a few hours later and turn my external monitor on I notice that the macbook is ON, BUT frozen! The time is usually a few hours back, so the macbook must have started up and frozen shortly after I had put it to sleep. There is no way to restart but to hold down the power button, SUPER annoying!
    Hope this will get addressed in an update. Any way your problem is connected to sleep mode?

  • My Power Mac G5 is freezing up. A few days ago my G5 started freezing up, the cursor is unresponsive and none of the keys have any use. I have to press the power button to shut down and then restart. Sometimes on the restart, instead of the Apple logo I g

    A few days ago my G5 started to freeze up while in use. It doesn't matter if in Safari, iTunes, Pages, etc. The cursor will not respond nor does any keystroke, force quit, escape, etc. I have to hold the power button down to shut the computer down. Then, try to restart. Sometimes restart will work and the computer will work for a while and then freeze again. Other times on restart, instead of the Apple logo at start up, I get a Zero with a line thru it, have to power off and restart again. When it does restart, the "spinning gear" takes a lot longer than normal to spin up and take me to the login screen. Have been told it may be my hard drive getting ready to fail. Have looked at disk utilities, S.M.A.R.T looks fine, "verified" and have verified disk, and repaired permissions. In case it is the hard drive, I bought external hard drive and hooked it up to Time Machine. The backing up to a long time, overnight, about 10 hours because it kept freexing up and I would have to shut down and try restarting again. Finally got everything backed up.
    Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!!!   Could it be my hard drive is dying? Is the the normal chain of events or is it something else???

    Ok, to copy the Drive from one to another, get carbon copy cloner to make an exact copy of your old HD to the New one...

    Believe it or not, anything on the Desktop uses 3 times the Resources of the Mac than if stored elsewhere, I can note a slowdown from just 30 items on the Desktop on a really fast Mac, so the less the better on the Desktop.
    DW will not tell you about Bad Sectors, it's just the very best at Repair Directory damage & such.
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • I updated Adobe flash player and now i'm unable to open Opera and I have to use the power button to shut down the computer?

    I updated Adobe flash player and now i'm unable to open Opera and I have to use the power button to shut the computer down.
    How do you delete programs?
    thanks

    If Flash Player is indeed the problem I would suggest using the Adobe Uninstaller.
    Have you tried using a different browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Safari to see if they have a problem with Flash?

  • The power button is stuck down

    Hello all Mac Enthusiasts,
    The power button on MBP is stuck down and the slightest touch activates the computer and when is active the Shut-down menu shows up.
    Should I contact apple? or is there a work around?
    Thank you,
    solar

    I'd contact AppleCare as if it's a physical problem you're not going to be able to do much without opening your MBP and hence, voiding your warranty.

  • My iPad wont turn on, its black screen then i press home power buttons together and white screen with black apple logo come out after 5 seconds black "lighten" screen comes out and its stuck just like that! Whats the problem?

    HI
    this happened today suddenly while i was working on my iPad it kicked my out of the app that i was using then white screen with black apple logo came out, i thought it was an ordinary thing cause this happens all the time with me, but this time it refused to turn on! After the white screen with the black logo vanished i wad waiting for my lock screen but no, a black screen showed up just like that! And could tell it was black "lighten" screen i tried more than 10 times to do the home+power thing but it wont work, whats wrong with my ipad!

    If the battery is completely drained it may take some time while on the charger before the iPad responds. Plug the iPad into the charger that came with it and plug that into a good wall outlet. Wait one hour. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%. If it doesn't start up make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. They will examine your iPad and explain your options.

    HTH,

  • TS3274 has anyone had a problem with the on/off button being stuck down?  my IPad is on, but the power button is stuck down and I cannot power off

    I have and IPad 2.  I realized (while travelling by air) that my power button was stuck in the down position.  I cannot power off my IPad.  Wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue and what you may have done to rectify?  I think Apple may be aware of this problem.  I stopped into an Apple store and they were not supprised, but I could  not make an appt because I was traveling and did not live in the area.  Thanks for any ideas.

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!
