All of a sudden TWO choices for Restart and Shutdown and other issues...

I noticed today that there are now TWO choices in the menu for Restarting and Shutting down for my iMac.
"Restart...
Restart
Shutdown...
Shutdown"
Nothing new has been installed.
Also, now there is a black rectangular outline around anthything that is "selected" on the desktop or in a menu.
My mac mini has also started to act weird all of a sudden. Watching Netflix today, the entire display get s horizontal colored lines and the computer freezes. I have to hold the power switch to turn it off. When trying again, it does the same thing after a few minutes.
Any ideas?
Any help would be appreciated.

The imac problems have been solved.
The Voice Over Function in the preferences was turned on somehow. This caused the duplicate restart and shutdown issue, and the black box around highlighted items.
Now If I can figure out the Mac Mini issue. I hope it's not dying on me...

All of a sudden my iPhone 5s restarts alone and the camera takes green pictures

All of a sudden my iPhone 5s restarts alone and now the camera takes green pictures
I have the iOS 7.1 and for four months it's been working great, not now

First thing to try is a reset: Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
If this doesn't help, back up and restore via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a new device and test. If the problem is solved, there is some kind of corruption in your backup file or maybe it's one of your apps causing problems. If it continues, take it to an Apple Store for evaluation of a possible hardware problem.

I bought a pdf book last year and had no problem reading it for a few months then all of a sudden I could no longer open it and to this day. Any other pdf download off internet I can still open and read, except for that particular book. Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium, Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07. When trying to open file I get msg "You did'nt login or your session has expired. Please log in to read this document for the first time". (Like I said I have read it before). So I log in but that prompts me to give the name of the file I want to export or convert to Word or something else, which is not what I want to do of course. I have not purchased any service from Adobe or Acrobat as I only need to read. Thanks for your help..

My MacBook Pro recently shut down on me all of a sudden. When I restarted it, it popped up with a gray box with 'OS X Utilities,' then listed various options such as 1. restore from time machine backup, 2. reinstall OS X, etc. what do I do now?

My MacBook Pro recently shut down on me all of a sudden. When I restarted it, it popped up with a gray box with 'OS X Utilities,' then listed various options such as 1. restore from time machine backup, 2. reinstall OS X, 3. get help online and 4. disk utility. what do I do now? I have not backed up to Time Machine in a few days, so I'm not sure I should restore from time machine backup, is there something else I can do? Help!

Guitar21,
your MacBook Pro has booted into its Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get to the login screen now?

Actually, it's the no-DRM option. The $1.29 songs are also encoded at twice the bitrate, so they're higher-quality files.
But you can easily go back to DRMed $0.99 music. In your account settings (which you reach by clicking on your email address in the upper right corner of iTunes), click on the "Manage iTunes Plus" button, which will permit you to tell iTunes to stop showing you iTunes Plus songs.

So I plugged my iPhone 4s into my computer to charge it and when it was done charging I fallowed all the steps to unplug it. However when I went into my music all my music was gone except for my purchased music and all of my ringtones were were gone too?

I have it set on manually manage music and videos. So there is no automatic syncing going on or anything like that. Yes iTunes was open and when i plugged in my phone i could see all the music and everything on my phone, everything was working like it was supposed to, I didn't have a problem until I unplugged the phone.

When my phone is powered on and not in use all of a sudden the Samsung Galaxy 5 then Samsung and Verizon logo comes on tell me to check my battery cover, I have checked it and it is secure but it still continues to happen all day long. Has this happened to anyone else?

My phone is 5 days old and does the exact same thing.
Just check the box that says do not show again when it pops up. That should Stop the pop ups all the time.
I am very dissapointed with my phone . My S5 has been very buggy, likes to freeze up , lags , drains battery in about 4-5 hours, loses data connection in "Good Signal" areas ( drops down to 3g and 1x data or says 4g lte but Web pages fail to load , say no data connection). Camera has also crashed on me twice already.

My Mac book pro all of a sudden doesn't have the airplay icon and doesn't work with my Apple TV . Why ?

The Airplay icon will not display if the OS is unable to locate any Airplay devices.
I would check that both devices are connected to the same network and maybe even power cycle the network devices - eg router etc
Maybe even try to connect both devices to another network like an iPhone personal Hotspot and see if that helps to isolate the problem

IMac Restarts on Shutdown and Periodically

Hello - I have a 21.5, Mid 2011 iMac, 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5 running OS X 10.9.5. I recently added 2 2GB memory cards to expand the memory from 4GB to 8 GB.
After about a 3 weeks of working properly, the computer now restarts on shutdown and periodically crashes and restarts--especially when trying to open iTunes when other programs are running. I tried removing the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist. I've tried resetting with the Pram method.
Here are my power settings:
System Power Settings:
AC Power:
System Sleep Timer (Minutes): 10
Disk Sleep Timer (Minutes): 0
Display Sleep Timer (Minutes): 10
Sleep on Power Button: Yes
Automatic Restart on Power Loss: No

How do I keep my tab groups in my toolbar after restarting...all of a sudden they disappear on restart. I have the restore tabs option on but the groups aren't

I have 2 problems.......
1.recently on restarting Firefox, all my tab groups disappear...the tabs there but not in my tab groups.... I have the preference set to open all tabs and can't find anything to say open tabs in groups....can you help? I am working on a Mac desktop version 10.93 with Firefox version 30.0....
2.also on the Firefox homepage there is no "restore previous session" button.....

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

Two choices for System Selection in SMD Setup Wizard

Hello,
we started to install the SMD. First everything was fine, but now we can select two agents for one system in the setup wizard.
The correct system is green lighted because the setup was successful. The other wrong system is not configurd and so the hole system in the overview is grey.
What did we wrong. Can anyone help us???
Thx

ICloud demanding verification all of a sudden, but email for verification is no longer accessible

Basically, all of a sudden iCloud is saying it needs verification.
Problem is, the verfication email adress was hacked years ago.
What do I do? I've tried recovering the adress from Hotmail but it was so long ago, my info has changed so much, and they've denied my application.

If you do not have a rescue email address set up on the account, you will need to contact iTunes Support online: http://apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html (select Account Security as your help topic) or by phone: Apple Support Numbers

JSP asking for restart of Webserver and Appsserver.

Dear Sir ,
New Jsp's to get reflect we need to restart App server
and Webserver in Iplanet running in Solaris.For this
we chaned the oprion in Solaris /iplanet/instance0/ias/CCS0/bin/kregedit then
go to software\iplanet\application server\systemJava \
versioning\disable 1 or 0 .This option not worked.Can you suggest some other option so that
Jsp changes need not require Application restart.

As stated above, I had him clone his MBP HD to two separate partitions on an external HD for safety reasons only. When we tried to add a few (recent) files from his desktop to either of the clones we got a dialogue box that said files could not be added. There was tons of space, and both were fully bootable, so my thought was that there might be some sort of protection software installed on his drive that was preventing the addition of files (which I do all the time to the clones on my machines). It turns out there isn't any strange unknown software, so I'm at a loss to explain the dialogue. It's a good point about the formatting. We made it a two partition drive via disk utility, so I would assume the formatting would automatically be updated to Mac at that juncture, and also each clone is (and has been tested as) bootable.
He currently has a macbook pro 2 running 10.4.11 and is installing to another one of the same. Don't know the model numbers yet. Is there a way to find out whether it's an intel machine without first installing an OS? Adding to our difficulties: it's a used computer from ebay, he doesn't know squat about computers, I'm a thousand miles away.
There is no installer disk being used at all. He is cloning his HD from the computer he has to return to the university to a newly purchased (used) computer. CCC is the software.
It would be nice to get him up and running at least by the time he gets here, although the news today was that the IT guy with the University will upload everything onto the new machine (I guess with Leopard, if necessary) when he returns. so at this point it's a matter of convenience and curiosity.
