Burning DVD's on my external shuts down the computer...
I just bought a Kanguru QS Slim from NewEgg to use on my PowerPC G4. It play DVDs well, and it plays and burns CDs well. It is even compatible with Lightscribe. Everything works fine until I try to burn a DVD. It freezes the computer and tells me to restart, leaving a slightly burned, unreadable, and unusable disc. I've tried saving as a disc image in iDVD, which worked fine, until I tried to burn it outside iDVD, which gave me the same result. The computer I am using doesn't not have a lot of memory, but from what I understand in iDVD, it should be saving to my external hard drive. I don't think this is the problem because I believe that the extra space is needed during the encoding process and the error is occurring when I start the burning process. Despite this, I tried burning a very small DVD that my computer had more than enough memory for and, again, achieved the same result. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The hard drive says there's about 3 gigs left, but I can't clean it off because the rest of it is shared with my family. In the system profiler under "memory" it says 512 mb. I don't know how to find which apps are crashing and I could not find the panic log, but I did find a disc burning log. I've tried burning from iDVD and from Disk Utilities with the file already encoded. Also, there are a couple burns from iTunes in the log which worked. Thanks for the info hope this helps...

The new firefox twitter app (mini tab on left of page) is great - except it disappears every time I shut down the computer and I have to remove and then reinstall it every day!?? It won't appear on the page until I do. I am working on an iMac - if that is causing the problem ...? Thanks.
Eustace, thank you so much for writing back. I will try what you suggested!!
thx for your reply - apparently when I went to the Apple store a long time ago, they restore maybe photos and itunes etc from my external hard drive (passport). I guess at that time they reinstalled an earlier operating system than my macbook came with and that somehow corrupted FileVault. apparently there was no sparse bundle (whatever that is) for my old admin account and they said that ever since the install of the older OS that it was actually NEVER backing up anything in my admin account.
Then, I bought Time Capsule and starting backing up to that instead. I started having problems with it being slow etc and then StartUp Disk full errors and didn't know what to do, so I "Restored" from Time Capsule and that's when I lost everything in my Admin account and was locked out when I tried to log in - it said File Vault error ..."
anyway - that's THAT sad story. I was told to create a new admin account and I've basically been trying to start over - even though I have a partial save of my computer in Crash Plan and I DO see a sparse bundle listed in there, but I just don't know enough about computers to know if it's something I can get back or if I am just totally doomed.
I'm afraid to reinstall anything because if there is even a remote shot that the other files are still floating around in my computer, I feel like that chance will be shot forever. I need to hire McGee from NCIS, I just KNOW he could get those files back for me!!! -
I'm trying to delete a video to free up space on my mac. I've moved it to trash and when I try to empty the trash it keeps coming up with...."The operation cannot be completed because the item " ......... .m4v is in use". I'm not exactly computer literate - I don't even know what the m4v is, but I've read some discussions saying to shut down the computer - which I did - nothing everything else I've found on the m4v is too technical for me to grasp. Can anyone help me?
Sorry, didn't notice that you cd'd into that directory. Can't explain why you can't delete it, but I don't do server or NAS stuff. You might want to repost to the Unix forum.

While I'm using safari, it will freeze up. When I force quit safari and reopen it, I find that I'm back to where I was when I did the force quit and safari remains locked up. When I try to restart the computer, I get a pop up that says that safari cancelled my restart. I then press the power button to shut down the computer. When I reboot the computer and open safari, I see all the tabs and windows that were opened when this issue began, only this time safari isn't frozen. This problem started yesterday.
Has anyone experienced the same problem? Is there a fix for this problem?Try Resetting Safari: Open Safari. Cick on the name Safari in the menu bar. In the drop down menu click Reset Safari.

Shut down the computer from a java program
Hello!
Can anyone tell me if can be made an java program that can shut down the computer (windows 2000 operating system) and forces all the programs to close?
If it can be made, can you give me some tips?
Thanks
KataThat's possible
but you don' really use java but Windows (only available for 2000 and XP)
you should try that
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("shutdown -s -t01") // stop
}catch(...
or
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("shutdown -r -t01") // reboot
}catch(...
or
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("shutdown -l -t01") // logout
}catch(...
you're welcome.

Is it possible to continue downloading OS X Lion after shutting down the computer?
I am downloading the OS X Lion app on my MacBook Pro and is only at 180mb after an hour. I am downloading this app for free because I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. Is there a way I can continue the download even after shutting down the computer? Will I be charged the next time I try to re-download the app--as in, will the code for downloading the app for free expire?
Thank you SO much!I downloaded OS X Lion over the period of a day or so and what you have to do is pause the download (for a snow leopard user that should be in your dock) and then shut down your machine. When you boot it back up, you should be able to resume the download by clicking the OS X Lion logo and typing in your Apple ID info and the download should resume at the same spot where it was when you left it.

I can't close safari (option is greyed out) and I can't shut down the computer because of it. How do I fix this?
Try to "Force Quit" Safari - either under the Apple menu or by holding down option-Command-esc.

How to remove black "blocked plug-in" window that opens with iPhoto. It covers iPhoto and everything under it. I've right and left clicked the black window, restarting the computer, shutting down the computer, but the window always appears when I open iPhoto and it will not move or go away. It stays on my screen (covering my desktop icons) even after I quit iPhoto. How can I get it off my screen?
Which version if iPhoto and MacOS X do you have?
Do you have any iPhoto plug-ins installed?
Open the folder /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins/
To navigate to that folder, open the folder "Library" directly on your Macintosh HD, then inside the Library folder go to Application Support, then iPhoto. Is there anything installed? -
When I started my iMac today, it started beeping like an alarm horn. I shut it down, and held the startup button a little longer to get it to start. Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer. I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again. What's up? Am I screwed? HELP!!
What you are seeing is a kernel panic, often but not always connected with a hardware or peripheral issue, so, unplug everything except mouse and keyboard, reboot and hold the shift key as soon as your hear the chime, continue holding it until you see the Apple Icon and spinning progress indicator, then post back.
It will take noticeably longer than normal to start. -
I cannot quit mail for some reason. How can I shut it down?
I need to do this before I can shut down the computer.To Force Quit a program go to the Apple Logo item in the menu bar and select Force Quit. Select the program from the list and click Force Quit.
To Hard Power down it is the same as Wintel. Press the power button until the system Turns Off. Not the best solution but needed sometimes. Yes even on a Mac. -
I am having problems with Firefox. When I click on the shortcut, or the .exe file nothing happens. I check task manager to see if it is running and it does not show Firefox is running.
But when I shut down the computer then the browser shows up right before the computer shuts down. I have tried starting the browser in safe mode and the same thing happens. I cannot give any troubleshooting info because the browser is not visible for me to click on help or any other button.Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
#Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
'''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
* '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
#Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
#In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
#Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
#* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
#* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
#Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

[Solved] Pressing AltGr for a few seconds shuts down the computer
Hi
A couple of months ago I had some water damage on my Thinkpad x220. Cleaned it dried it and everything expect one keyboard key works fine.
The problem is when im pressing the AltGr key for longer than a second it shuts down the computer. It basically acts the same way as my power button. It's even possible to turn on my computer with the AltGr key. I know its caused from the water damage and it would be easier to buy a new keyboard but a couple of days ago I booted up a Ubuntu on a usb stick and the AltGr key worked as expected. So instead of buying a new keyboard I thought maybe its possible to re-map my key somehow so it would work as its supposed to.
I tried to identify the keycode. When I push the key for a short time it gives me:
[root@arch:erykroom master▲]# showkey --keycodes
kb mode was ?UNKNOWN?
[ if you are trying this under X, it might not work
since the X server is also reading /dev/console ]
press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress).
keycode 100 press
keycode 100 release
When I try to get the keycode for the longer press it just shuts down.
Any help would be appriciated
EDIT:
Managed to solve the issue.
I had to edit my /etc/systemd/logind.conf and change the power key to ignore
HandlePowerKey=ignore
