A window is frozen on screen won't let me shut it down

was logged into shutterfly  i brought up my photos and it froze my pictures on the scren i cant close the window anything that i do

You can force-quit the browser or an application by choosing to select and quit using this menu option under the Apple icon in finder.
Then, see about discovering the cause of the freeze up.
And if the computer is totally frozen, you may have to
try & make it shut down the hard way by pressing down
the power button until it quits. Not the best thing for it.
Good luck & happy computing!

    1. Quit itunes
    2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator)
    3. Once in the command prompt type the following 3 words starting where your cursor is flashing: netsh winsock reset
    4. press ENTER
    5. Reboot your machine
    6. Restart itunes & connect device to sync
    7. Good luck

    In the middle of the ipad a box says (icloud backup) This ipad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi. It is frozen. It won't let me do anything. You can see the apps behind the box. help what do I do?

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I downloaded the new Firefox but it constantly freezes, doing absolutely nothing, and I can't even close it from my Mac dock bar, I have to turn off my laptop using the power button as Firefox won't let me shut down. What can I do?

    Hi
    I recently downloaded the new Firefox (Firefox 4, I think - you can tell I'm very tech savvy!) and it constantly freezes, I can't do anything with it at all - I can't even close it from the icon in my Mac dock bar.
    I have tried restarting my computer - though I have to turn it off by using the power button as as Firefox is open and totally unresponsive it won't let me shut down. About a minute after re-starting Firefox, restoring my tabs or starting afresh, it freezes again.
    This is obviously very annoying and I'm not sure what I can do about it. Firefox is my preferred browser, and I'd really like to be able to use it again!

    This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
    My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
    The mouse moves, but does not work.
    The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
    I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
    Firefox 18.4%
    Activity Monitor 0.9%
    Firefox Plugin 0.2%
    This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

    Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and shut it down from there. If that doesn't work, save and close everything you can, and then use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit the loginwindow process.

  • Firefox won't fully open, won't quit or force quit, and won't let computer shut down.

    No screen, so I can't start in safe mode; won't quit; won't force quit; won't let me uninstall the app; won't allow the computer to restart because the app is supposedly "open"

    Rebooting the computer should close everything.
    Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift ''(Mac Options)'' >''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
    While you are in safe mode;
    Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
    Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''General.'''
    Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
    Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

  • My computer has been through the black screen of death twice after shutting it down today.

    Whenever I turned it on, only the sound of the disk running and the startup sound was there but the screen remained black. I've been told to do a hardware check using my system software disc but I'm currently abroad and I wont be getting hold of that disc until mid July this year..
    Im scared to shut down my computer again.
    **first black screen: Safe mode didnt work. I reset PRAM, shut it down and boot it again. Worked
       second black screen: Again, safe mode didnt work. had to do PRAM resetting a couple times, didnt work. did an SMC reset, worked.
    I'm worried none of these will work the next time.

    If you don't have an external drive with you, go out and buy one. Make a clone backup of your system. If there is drive failure you want your data backed up. If you have to take your computer in for repairs, you will need a backup in case they wipe your drive.
    Both of these applications can be used to create a clone.

    Do you have FileVault enabled. Under certain conditions this can cause kernel panics.

  • Ipod frozen on screen, won't connect to computer

    My iPod touch from a few years ago is still frozen on a screen showing a USB plug going into the iTunes logo. If I plug it into the computer, a window pops up on the computer saying i must type in my passcode for it to connect, but the iPod is still on that screen. How do I fix it?

    - Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - If that does not work try placing in DFU made and then restore
