A VIRUS? the computer screen darkens like a shade and freezes!

A curtain of shade comes over my screen and then the computer prompts me to restart my computer. WHAT'S WRONG?!!
it has happened twice.
Also, when I am on the internet, my window closes for no reason.

I don't know anything about computers. What does this mean? Thank you SOOO much for all your help so far.

Periodically the computer screen darkens and requests shutdown

Periodically the computer screen darkens and requests shutdown
this problem inturrupts almost everything and it started happening ever since i installed snow leopard
i want to format the computer and reinstall regular leopard because of this problem
Basically what happens is:
•The System freezes and the screen darkens a few shades.
•A message appears requesting that i hold the power button to shut off and restart.
•When i restart a message appears that says, "You shut your computer down because of a problem"
and it requests i report it
so i reported it its happened at least once a day everyday since i installed leopard on the 28th

This is, what they call a "Kernel Panic" - a unrecoverable error encountered by the Operating System during operation.
I assume, that you did a Upgrade Installation from Leopard or Tiger. There is probably some incompatible KernelExtension or Application remaining, which causes the problem.
Can you open Console.app in Applications > Utilities. Inside Console, you go to Diagnostic Information > System Diagnostic Reports. Here's a list of all recent Application / Kernel Crashes. You are interested in the following files: "kernel_<date and time of the Crash>". Click on a few of these. You will find some Information about the crash inside. If you're lucky, there's something like this inside: "BSD process name corresponding to current thread: <APPLICATION NAME>". This can help identify the faulty App.
Also you might want to try starting in Safe Mode. If the Problem does not appear there, it's most certainly some Issue with old Software.

When i plugged my ipod into the computer it started to make buzzing and screeching noises. It became hot so i removed it and then the screen froze while it continued to make these noises. I have never had anything like this happen.

When i plugged my ipod into the computer it started to make buzzing and screeching noises. It became hot so i removed it and then the screen froze while it continued to make these noises. I have never had anything like this happen. (never gotten it wet or had it exposed to extreme temperatures) It is also unresponsive to any buttons on the ipod and it didn't show up when i plugged it into my computer. What do I do? Also if it is unfixable could i get a free one from apple?

Hey briannagrace96,

I dropped my iphone, it cracked (it alredy had some cracks in it) and the screen is black but sometimes has a background light.. When i plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not recognize it. What can I do?

I dropped my iphone 4 pretty hard, it cracked (although it already had a few cracks in it) and now the screen is black but sometimes has a background light turn on and then off. Holding the home button and off button at the same time do not work. When I plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not seem to recognize it. It gets really really hot when plugged in (which I don't think is normal). icloud does not recognize it under "find my iphone" either. What could the problem be? I am wondering if dropping it dislodged something inside. if so, what did I dislodge and is it possible to fix this myself?
Thanks

Sounds like that drop was a critical one, my friend. I would make an appointment at your nearest Apple Retail Store, because you're going to need a replacement. Also as a side note: the reason that the charger is making the phone vibrate over and over is because there is a disconnect somewhere in the charge port of the phone, causing it to plug in and out over and over.

Where in the System Preferences do I increase the computer screen text size

Where in the System Preferences do I increase the computer screen text size

What you need to change is Screen Resolution.
You can change the screen resolution in System Preferences / Displays. On that pane you will see numbers like 1440 x 900. The larger the numbers the smaller the text on the screen. (The current setting is shown in grey.) Just experiment with other resolutions til you find one that suits you. You want to move down in the options to increase the size of the displayed text.
When you select a new resolution, you have to confirm that it's what you want, else the computer will revert to the previous resolution.

When I restart my Mac, the grey screen appears like usual. But it takes more than 40 minutes (more) for it to load to finish restarting the Mac. What should I do?!

Disconnect all devices from your computer if you have not already done so. Restart again. If the problem has been resolved, you had a peripheral conflict. You will then have to reconnect the devices one at time, restart, to locate the culprit.
Login Items is another culprit. Check your login items.
System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items
Delete/disable all you do not need or want.

Is there a way to get lightroom to search the computer for catalogs like aperture does?

Is there a way to get lightroom to search the computer for catalogs like aperture does? I've switched over from Aperture to Lightroom, and i liked how in Aperture when i went to open "other library" it would basically scan all connected drives for them, and show me when last opened and what version. Is there a way to do this with Lightroom, either in program or by a third party app?

The user interface is on a level of elementary PC software
something I have deteced till now
no free moving workspace windows
no search function for the whole catalog
no support of mpg files in the archive
no chromatic appararture correction
second screen sometimes gets lost, when moving between screens
no automatic creation of collection ( very risky direct interfacing with the original file system )
wrong counting of objects in catalog folder when creating virtuel copies
What worked good is the import of the APERTURE Archive ( 40000 objects ) took me one night and its there with the above obsticles!!! I am using just three days and I have to say
not user friendly
not workflow supporting
risky user interfacing with masters
As JimHess stated, there is no risk working with the masters.
Chromatic aberation correction is available in Lightroom, searching the entire catalog is available in Lightroom.
With regards to your other comments, the idea that Lightroom should work the same (or very similar) to Aperture is one that you should remove from your thoughts. It will only get you into trouble. Lightroom is not Aperture and will not work the same, and has different underlying principles, and so its pointless to think you will be able to do everything the same way you did it in Aperture. You need to be open to Lightroom's features, and Lightroom's way of doing things. I agree with JimHess that it takes most people a while to learn Lightroom's way of doing things, but your patience will be rewarded.

My baby accidentally hit my key pad and now my computer screen looks like a negative. Does anyone know how to fix it?

My baby accidentally hit my key pad and now my computer screen looks like a negative. What was white is now black, etc. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Press control-option-command-8, or visit System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Seeing and change the display back to "black on white."

Can Apple Tv be used to stream the computer screen

Can i use Apple Tv to display the content from the computer screen on the TV screen i guess like streaming or using the computer wirelessly?

assuming monitor is being used at the same time.
by only using the TV as the monitor at the time it's required then you won't have those issues.
still, i wouldn't be suggesting someone to buy a £600 PC as a solution to what the OP asked.

How to have multiple images on the same screen? like in the movies where you see several actions at

how to have multiple images on the same screen? like in the movies where you see several actions at the same time ....
i don't find a tutorial in adobe tv....
thanks !!

The short answer is that you'll put the source clip(s) for each inset on a different video track, all stacked up. Then use the Scale and Position effects (under "Motion" on the Effect Controls panel) to reduce their size and place them where you want.
If the content of an inset will involve edited content (where you're cutting among various clips or just trimming out unwanted content from a single clip), then you'll probably find it easier to do all those edits in one sequence, then nest that sequence in the master sequence, where you apply the Scale and Positioning effects. That will save the step of applying the scale and position effects to each edited track item.

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

I recently installed iTunes on my new HP laptop computer, authorized it according to the instructions, but now can't get past a screen that tells me that I need to authorize the computer. I purchased an album and it's in the library, but it won't sync.

I have Keynote 6.2 and when my Mac Pro is hooked to a projector I cannot get the presenter notes to show on the computer screen and not on the projected screen. Any ideas?

I have Keynote 6.2 and when my MacPro is hooked to a projector with a slide presentation I cannot see my presentation notes on the computer screen and not on the projected screen. Any ideas?

Somethings obviously gone wrong with your installation of Keynote.
Try this repair for Keynote 6.2, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
2 empty the trash: Finder > Empty Trash
3 Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then hold down the Shift key while pressing the power button
When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
4 Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
5 when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click repair disc permissions
6 when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
7 install Keynote from the Mac App Store
let us know if this helped

HT201300 What cable should be used to connect a macbook pro, 13 inch early 2011 model to an external projector so it will display the computer screen image through the projector?

What cable should be used to connect a macbook pro, 13 inch, early 2011 model to an external projector so the project displays the image on the computer screen?

You will need a cable or adapter with a minidisplay connection for the MBP. That will be inserted in the Thunderbolt port. The other end is dependent upon the connections of the projector which you have not listed.
Ciao.
