After my iMac has been on for 30 minutes or so it stops functioning correctly it will just spin when i try to close a program or shut it down

after my iMac (intel) has been on for 30 minutes or so it stops working correctly when i try to close a program or shut it down the little ball spins and the computer is frozen and i have to cut power ... the back of the computer seems to be hotter than it should I assume that has something to do with what is going on

Please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

3 year old iMac 24 running OS10.7.4. After it has been on for a day or so, it stops going to sleep and becomes very slow. This only happens when Safari is running. Quitting Safari solves the problem. Has anyone else have the same problem?

Hello Albert, see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

-Connect cable to computer but not device
-Open iTunes on computer

-Hold circle (Home) button
-continue to hold the power button while connecting the cable
-continue holding after cable is connected, until you receive a notice in iTunes that says;

After my Macbook has been on for a little, the light goes out on the screen. When I start to close the screen the light comes back on. I can hold it in this position and keep typing/reading indefinitely.any idea what is the problem?

After my Macbook has been in use for a little while, the light goes off on the screen as if the computer is off. Then, as I start to close the screen, it comes back on fully. If I push it back open it cuts off again. So, I just leave it part way open and turn the laptop at an angle so that I can continue to see the screen & type. It acts like there is a short. Any idea what the problem is?

It does sound like you might have a faulty video connection. See if you can make a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store.

Reader X failing on Save and Save As, after the form has been opened for longer than an hour.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen or maybe can offer a solution. I have several Dynamic XML forms designed in LiveCycle ES2 v9 that since our ministry switched to Reader X have been failing. At first, the save button greys out (even though new information has been inputed) and the form will only save as. Then the save as function will start to fail if the form is left open.
Our users are running Reader 10.1 on Windows Vista and so far its only users that have left it open longer than two hours, or over night. These forms have been Reader extended and at first save without issue.
Unfortunately, just telling the users not to leave it open isn't an option. We just need Reader X to work.
Thanks in advance for any information you can share about this.

Hi Kyle,
Yes there is a lot of code within the forms. Mostly adding instances, and changing the presence on subforms. These particular forms do not have data connections, or execute any code from a server. The script all runs at the client level.
I'm checking with the form content owners to see if I'm allowed to post any of them. If they give the okay then I'll put a sample up here.

I purchased a blu-ray of The Hunger Games and it came with a code for a digital copy. I redeemed the code on iTunes but the download has been continuing for 2 weeks now and it never finishes! The time just keeps going up. Never an issue in the past.

I purchased the blu-ray of The Hunger Games and it came with a code to redeem for a digital copy. I redeemed the code in iTunes and the movie downloaded fine, but the "EXTRAS" have been downloading for 2 weeks! Everytime I launch iTunes it starts the download again and the counter keeps going UP, at one point it said it would take 3 weeks. I have paused and restarted the download, I have deleted the download, nothing works to finish or stop this download! Does anyone have a clue what's up?

ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

Flashing folder icon after Mac mini has been sitting for a few hours

I leave my Mac mini running at time when I leave the office to let it install an update or just cause I forget to close it all down. When I come in the next morning, I have a flashing folder icon waiting for me.
Every single post on the forums talk about this issue at startup. This isn't the case for me; It didn't get shut down. A simple reboot solves it but still an annoying occurrence.

Svchost.exe taking up almost all of my cpu after the computer has been running for a number of hours

My computer is almost a year old and it is a custom build gaming rig with the following specs
Intel Core i5-3570k CPU @ 3.40GHz
8.0GB of Ram
AMD Radeon HD 6870
running windows 8.1
The issue is that after a few hours my computer starts to drastically drop in performance. This is due to two reasons. Firstly explore.exe starts to use up my cpu. I can easily stop this by using process explorer to close the offending thread (only 1 thread
i causing the issue, the rest are using minimal cpu) killing this thread reduces the cpu and appears to have no concequence in terms of functionality of my pc.
After this on average ten minutes later what happen is that svchost.exe starts using from 40%-60% of my cpu at which point if I do not quit any game I am playing my computer will crash. using process explorer to find the offending threads lead me to a thread
with a TID of 1836. If I kill this process I lose internet connection. Yet before this happens there is no sign of this thread. It appears to not be present until the issue appears and when it does appear this process is essential to my internet connection.
Please can someone help me

Ipod 5 will not boot up from no batteries even though it has been charging for 30 minutes.

I bought an iPod Touch 5th generation in December 2013. It is completely out of batteries and when I plug it in it says it's charging but never boots up. Now when I plug it in the iPod doesn't even show the dead batterie sign. I have tried multiple adapters that are certified by Apple but the two USB to Thunderbolt cables I've tried are not certified by Apple. Could it be the uncertified cables are is it a bad batterie? I don't want to buy an overpriced apple cable to find out it's the iPods fault. I have cleaned out the port in my iPod and all the connection that could be faulty, unfortunately I do not have another IOS device that supports Thunderbolt so I can't tell if it's the cables fault. I will probably ask to borrow someones fifth generation device although I am almost 100% certain that it is not the cables fault.

What do you mean by:
- "multiple adapters that are certified by Apple"? Do yo mean wall charger?
- "USB to Thunderbolt cables"? A Lightning cable plugs into the iPod
Yes, a bad USB to Lightning cable can result in no charging. Also, some non-Apple cables do not work.
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod

- Try another charging source I think you already did did this
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

If necessary:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPhone 4 has been crashing for the past week whenever I open an app, I was just wondering if anyone knew what to do?

Any app that I open usually crashes within 30 seconds of opening it. Anybody know what to do?

Try downloading and installing another app. Free, paid for, anything you like. Sometimes doing this knocks something back to normal. Feel free to delete the app if it doesn't work.

HT4718 am trying to install OS X Lion for the first time. So far it has been downloading for about 2 hours. How long should it take?

Can anyone help please?
Lion download to iMac has been running for about 2 hours and is still not halfway yet. How long should it take? should I cancel and start again?

1500Kbs is 1.5Mbs. That is Kilo bits per second. There are 8 bits to a byte so if you divide 1500 (or 1,500,000) by 8 you get 187500 bytes a second. Divide 3.5GBs (3,500,000,000), that capitol B is for Bytes, by that 187500 you get 18666.666 seconds. Which needs to be divided by 60 to get the minutes and then again by 60 to get the hours.
5.1851xxx hours.
I use to have a 3Mbs DSL connection and it took me over 3 hours to download Lion. Now that I have a 19Mbs Cable connection it take about an hour to download and install.
So wait it will happen eventually. If you cancel and start again your are still going to wait 5+ hours.
