Applications Not Quitting and Restart Hanging

I have recently converted to OSX with Mac Pro from PC but I have had trouble with various programs (Pages, Photoshop for example) hanging and when I try a force quit, the applications can not be restarted without trying to restart the operating system. I then try to restart by selecting "Restart" and all of the icons disappear, but the background stays on and the computer hangs in that state without rebooting. The only way to resolve the situation is to turn off the computer with the start button and then restart manually. This is continuing and is a nuisance, if nothing more. Any suggestions?

HI,
You have a bevy of issues there.
How much free disk space is there? Control or right click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop. Click "Get Info". Under the General tab you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is at least 10% available disk space, 15% is better.
As Sig suggests... check the hard disk for errors.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode

Safari 5.1 will not change my privacy settings without quitting and restarting the browser.

I have installed Safari 5.1. When I attempt to change the block cookies setting in the privacy preferences, the browser will not change the settings until I quit and restart the browser.

Quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left.
Open the Library folder then the Cookies folder.
Move the Cookies.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, quit Safari. Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.

"The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook" in Exchange 2013

In Exchange 2013, Outlook finds a new connection point made up of the user’s mailbox GUID + @ + the domain portion of the user’s primary SMTP address. This change makes
it much less likely that users will see the dreaded message “Your administrator has made a change to your mailbox.”
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298114(v=exchg.150).aspx
Although the error message in the topic has been already improved a lot in Exchange 2013, the users may still encounter them in some specific scenarios. We have collected them and let’s discuss them in this thread.
Symptom
=======================================
Consider the following scenario:
Exchange 2013 was installed for a migration from Exchange 2007/2010.
The legacy Exchange server is removed after successful migration.
Exchange 2013 may be updated to Exchange 2013 SP1.
Some users were being randomly prompted with a popup in their outlook client with the following message when connecting with Exchange 2013 server:
“The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook”
Cause
=======================================
The issue may be caused due to Public Folders.
The msExchHomePublicMDB attribute on Exchange 2013 databases was set to deleted legacy public folder object.
Solution
=======================================
Removed the Public Folder from all the Exchange
2013 Databases. To do it, we can use ADSIedit.msc and remove the arrtibute - msExchHomePublicMDB from all the Databases:
1. Open ADSIEdit.
2. Connect to the Configuration container.3.
Expand Configuration, expand CN=Configuration,DC=Domain,DC=com.4. Expand CN=Services -> CN=Microsoft Exchange -> CN=Domain -> CN=Administrative Groups -> CN=Exchange
Administrative Group -> CN=Databases.5. In the right hand pane you will see a list of databases.6.
Right-click the listed database object -> Properties.7. Check whether the msExchHomePublicMDB value is set to an unavailable value. If you see reference to the old database,
please clear the value.8. Click OK.9. Check the rest of the databases to make sure
that they are not populated in the same way.

The Microsoft Exchange administrator has made a change that requires you to quit and restart outlook.

Then I get this once outlook is open:
Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The operation cannot be performed because the connection to the server is offline".
Outlook 2013 client
Exchange 2010 SBS
I have recreated the profile, doesn't work. Recreating the OST doesn't work. Starting Outlook in any safe mode doesn't work. Disabling hardware acceleration and add-ins does not work.
repair account does not work - I get the Congratulations message, confirming it was able to get everything from the server... and when I restart Outlook:
"The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you to quit and restart Outlook".
BJN
Also the user in question is not getting new mail.
And I have tried this
outlook /resetnavpane to no avail.

Hi,
Please confirm if the issue happens to all users in your Exchange server.
In client side, please check the Connection Status when the issue occurs:
Please open Outlook - press CTRL key - right click on the Outlook icon from right bottom corner taskbar –Connection Status to check the connection.
Please notice the Server name, status, protocol and Type information.
In Exchange server, please check whether all Exchange services are started and running in Exchange 2010. Also check whether there is any error information in Event Viewer.
If the issue only happens to one user, please update the Outlook client with the latest patches and service packs to have a try.

Exchange 2013 SP1 users randomly prompted with "The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook"

I got a call to check an issue with a Exchange Server 2013 SP1 environment recently. All server was upgraded from Exchange server 2013 CU2 to Exchange Server 2013 SP1. It was done successfully but many users were being randomly prompted with a popup in their outlook
client with the following message:-
“The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook”
Although there wasn’t any changes of late in the environment there were random popups like these for multiple users. As the behaviour was not consistent and effecting the entire upgration population
Please suggest us how to resolve the issue.

Hi,
Does the issue happen to all Outlook 2013 users? Please create a new Outlook profile to have a try.
If it fails, please check the msExchHomePublicMDB value in ADSI Edit:
1. In Adsiedit, expand Configuration-->CN=Services -> CN=Microsoft Exchange -> CN=domain -> CN=Administrative Groups -> CN=Exchange Administrative Group -> CN=Databases.
2. Right-click the listed database > Properties.
3. Check whether the msExchHomePublicMDB value is set to an available value. Please change the value to <not set>.
4. Click OK.
Then check whether the issue persists.

My Black Macbook froze using Safari. I forced quit and restarted. Before the chimes there was a single buzz, from below the keyboard. What's that all about?

Might be RAM related if the above tip describes what happened.
If not, and your data is not backed up, and it won't startup, read this tip:

Mail Missing Plug-in after sending; quit and restart Mail fixes it

mail > Missing Plug-in after sending; quit and restart Mail fixes it.
Its very obnoxious after all these years to have Apple Mail continue to complain about Missing Plug-in
This happens for PDFs, .zips, .jpgs and other types.
Any ideas why Apple cannot seem to fix this?

Back up all data.
Boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

MS Outlook 2013 Error message "The microsoft exchange administrator had made a change that requires you to quit and restart outlook"

I am currently running 2 HP Servers, SAN Storage. I have Exchange 2013 installed and MS Outlook 2013 randomly appears with the message
"The Microsoft exchange administrator has made a change that requires you to quit and restart outlook" It is happening very frequently and is appearing every few seconds on a lot of users.

Hi WeeMac22,
If you migrated from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, I found a KB for your reference:
Outlook 2013 cannot connect after an Exchange Server 2010 mailbox is moved to Exchange Server 2013
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2934750/en-us
If not, I suggest using OWA to verify whether this issue remains.
1. If everything works well in OWA, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
I suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
I suggest re-create profile to refresh the caches.
I suggest re-install the Outlook if all methods above not working.
2. If this issue remains in OWA, please verify whether all users on the Exchange 2013 have this isse.
If only one user has this issue, I suggest create a test user to check whether the test user has this issue.
If the test user works well, I suggest try to re-create the specific user account.
Please make a full back up before re-creating.
Thanks

The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you to Quit and restart outlook in Exchange 2013 CU3

I have a Exchange 2013, That has been running for a few months now since we moved it over, but now I get the Microsoft Outlook Message "The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you to quit and restart Outlook." It only
shows up on certain users but not on others. What could be the problem? The only answers I have seen are for Exchange 2010.
All Help is much appreciated

2013 SP1 problem - the microsoft exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart outlook

I've looked at other answers to this problem but they seem to relate to multi server environments or new migrations - neither apply here. The Exchange 2013 server was implemented last year as a migration from Exchange 2007. It has been running well since.
I upgraded to SP1 on Sunday night and since then all users, regardless of Outlook version, are continually being asked to "the microsoft exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart outlook". Clicking OK loads Outlook
normally (no restart). I can delete the Outlook profile and set up a new profile OK but the issue comes back again. Deleting the users roaming or local profile does not help either.
The CAS seems to be set correctly - when I run Get-MailboxDatabase | fl RpcClientAccessserver it returns the correct server.
There are no public folders set up.

Thanks for the update. It was the PF that caused the issue.
When I removed the old Exchange 2010 server it did not remove everything for AD. Had to manually remove the older sever.

The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook

Hi
We have 2 separate Exchange 2013 organisations in Our Company. All mail comes in on the first server registered With domain1.com and if it is mail Connected to the second server it is forwarded to server 2 which is registered With domain2.com.
When the users Connected to server 2 sends out mail they have default mail address firstname.lastnameATdomain1.com so the default address policy points to an email address registered on server 1. We have added a GPO for the domain2 users so that
Autodiscovery updates with the right domain name.
The problem is that every time a user With Outlook 2013 starts Outlook he gets an error saying "The Exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart outlook". This Message shows about every 10 minutes in Outlook. I think
this has to do With the autodiscover settings, but I'm not sure.
Any Idea how to remove this Message?
Regards
Anders

Hi,
From your description, I recommend you follow the steps below to repair the Exchange email account and check the result.
1. Start Outlook. Click File, Account Settings, and then click Account Settings.
2. With the Exchange email account selected, click Repair. In the Repair Account dialog box, click Next.
3. After the configuration finishes, restart Outlook.
After you restart Outlook, the status bar may show your status as Working Offline. To connect it, click the Send/Receive tab, and then click Work Offline to turn off this feature.
Hope this can be helpful to you.
Best regards,
