Can't log-off from Leopard, stuck at log-off screen

I installed Leopard on a stock Mac mini 1.5GHz and it seemed to work just fine, all(most) my apps ran just fine, I was able to get the latest update and restart.
Then I decided to Log-off and it just gives me the blue screen and the spinning circle forever (seems stuck there)...
I can hit the power button to put it to sleep and wake up, but it's still stuck at this blue screen.
Is there any way to get it to shutdown and reboot via some key combo (force quit key combo dont work in this condition) or ssh in?
I'd rather not have to do the hard reboot (holding down power button in the back until it shuts down)...
Or is this my only choice?

If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
I looked up here and solved the problem by changing my apple ID back to the previous one, log off, then changed back to the new ID.

Hi,
I also have a similar issue since upgrading from the 4s to the 5s.
The issue I have is, issue number 2:" If I do receive a text message/iMessage notification, it disappears within 5-10 minutes before I can even check (no other notifications disappear)"
Which also consists of the same events in the last message from monicash "So for example, if i get a text while sleeping... i wake up in the morning to check my notifications and there is nothing there because it disappeared (even though there should be a notification there with my current settings that are ON)."

I can't access data from my iPhone 5 when off wifi

I bought my iPhone 5 two weeks ago from Optus, Australia. I loaded up my back up from the iPhone 4, it all seemed ok. However when I was off wifi I had no data access. I replace the SIM card and Apple even replaced the handset. Neither of those helped.
But finally today, I figured it out with some help from Optus.
I backed up the phone, wiped it but did not restore it from the iTunes backup. I treated it like I'd never had an iPhone before. It worked. It appears there was something corrupt in my back up file.
Everything is in the cloud, mail, calendars, contacts etc and of course all my apps were in iTunes along with music, podcasts etc. so I haven't lost anything.
I just wanted to share this in case you're having the same problem.
Cheers
Derek

Yakkity-Yak,

Can't install Tiger from Leopard

Hi everybody,
I'm running Leopard on my flat panel iMac but I'd like to move down to Tiger.
The iMac recognizes the install disc but nothing happens when I double-click the installer (the iMac just boots to Leopard).
I've also tried holding down the "c" key as I restart but I get a question mark.
Finally, I tried setting startup disc to the Tiger install CD but it just boots to Leopard.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks!
Mike

That is unfortunate, with the G4 Cube.
Did you try the Option key at startup, to get Startup Manager?
If you can't get it startup from that retail Tiger DVD, you could try to do an installation onto the that iMac G4's hard drive, using another supported PowerPC Mac to run the installation. I see you have an iMac G5 in your profile. It needs to be a PowerPC Mac, because there are separate PowerPC and Intel builds for Tiger. This method involves using FireWire Target Disk Mode.

If you have that other Mac and want more details, please post back.

This is a hint to anyone who cannot find their airprint printer from their ipad: after 10 hours of trying everything imaginable, i can now print directly from my iPad by turning off the bluetooth in settings and waiting for 30 seconds. presto!

after spending a full day and a half trying everything imaginable, i finally found a way to get my ipad to find my new airprint capable printer. I could print from email or the cloud, but not directly from my ipad. After reading a discussion about bluetooth printers, i turned off bluetooth in settings, waited 30 seconds, and voila!! I was able to print directly from my ipad. Try it if you are having troubles

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Can I directly upgrade from Leopard to Lion?

Or should I first upgrade to Snow Leopard?

Is one of you knowing an Apple link to this document :

Reading it, it seems that there is no hope to see Lion delivered on DVD.

How can I stop iCloud from wanting me to log in everytime I wake the phone?

Since the last OS update, my iPhone keeps asking me to sign in to iCloud when I fire it up EVERY time. I did this a few times but get tired of it. Is there any way to either get it to accept my sign in as the norm or to just quit asking? Thanks.

Bought used iMac, reinstalled snow leopard, stuck at start up screen

I bought a used iMac from someone who has owned it for about a year. He had upgraded to Lion from snow leopard but I wanted to reformat everything back to the original settings(like new) so I could start from scratch. I used the original snow leopard start up discs that came with the machine and held down c when restarting, the installation went fine but when the computer restarted after the installation the apple in the grey screen appeared and the spinning circle at the bottom spun for a few seconds then froze. I let it sit over night thinking it was just taking a while to start up but in the morning it was still on the same screen, nothing had changed. Any idea what the problem is?

You have to use Disk Utility to erase the ENTIRE boot drive by selecting the drive makers name on the far left, it will have the disk size too.
You need to do this to erase the 10.7 Recovery and reset the partition map back to 10.6 acceptable version so your 10.6 Disk Utility can repair the drive (and get the machine to boot) and remove the 10.7 EFI partition for 10.6 version.
I suggest you also use the Security Option > Zero all data, not for scrubbing the drive, but also for mapping off any failing sectors.
Reducing bad sectors effect on hard drives
Once 10.6 is installed, setup and Software update until clear.
then install programs, then files and only to 50% of the hard drive if possible for best performance.
don't go over 80% as it can start having issues as it gets near full.
Good Luck, setup a clone and then you can boot from the external clone drive anytime and in seconds.

Trying to load windows onto new hard drive from usb, stuck at "starting windows" screen

So I am actually down grading from windows 8 pro to windows 7 pro both 64. I was finally able to get the comp to not only recongize, but load from the usb. My problem is that when it does start up, I get stuck at the "Starting windows" screen. I was wondering maybe I need to format a patition first? It is a new warranty hard drive from Lenovo. (Kind of funny how that send only cds for a laptop that has no cd drive) I looked into formatting from a usb, have had some trouble finding a reliable way.....thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi davefromsb,
Windows 8 computers come with a "UEFI" bios and therefore will come with "Secure Boot" as well as "UEFI Only" booting enabled. Disable secure boot if you haven't already, and switch the booting method to "Legacy Only". The problem is most likely that the Windows 7 image that was burned to the USB stick was burned using a MBR partition scheme instead of a GPT one. Hope this helps.

Is there anyway I can get my photos from my iPhone 5 if the screen is broken? the DCIM folder just shows up as empty?

Is there anyway of transfering photos from my iPhone to my PC, Siri works its only the actual screen that doesn't work but as there is a password on my account I cant unlock it so the DCIM folder shows up as empty.
Thanks all!

No. Not without getting the display replaced first. Many Apple Stores in the US and UK can replace the display on the iPhone 5 or 5c (but not the 5s currently) for $149. Make an appointment at the genius bar.

I updated my phone, and it turned off but its stuck on the updated screen and I cant turn it off ... what do I do ?

I really need help

Problem: installed new hard drive but can´t boot from leopard dvd

So I just installed a new hard drive in my ibook G4. At first I started up the computer using the leopard DVD I had purchased. Got to Disk Utility and after a few seconds in the spin wheel came up and froze. So, I shut the computer down and when I tried to boot it again from the DVD I wouldn´t even reach the apple screen. Tried it a few times unsuccessfully.
As an alternative I just tried booting the comptuer using the original CD and it did read it.
I am currently at the installer page but I am concern about installing the old CD as I really would like to run the leopard dvd 10.5.
Is it that my ibook g4 can´t be booted from leopard dvd?
Please advise. thanks!!

OK, so I decided to leave my computer resting all night and give it a new try this morning.
This morning I was able to boot from the Leopard DVD, so I don´t really think it is a problem with my superdrive. Started to format at 32 minutes to complete. Then towards the 10th minute the spinning wheel appeared, I heard the fan running, then it stopped and then I heard the superdrive making some reading noises. Then all noises stopped and now the spinning wheel continues..not sure what to do now.
In the meantime, I wanted to share also another problem that I´ve been having for quite some time which I don´t know if it is related to my current problem. It is with the computer power:
- I´ve been experiecing load surges that take my computer from 100% to 1 or 0% and then goes to sleep or shuts down. The same thing happens when I am charging the computer.. it starts charging and showing 2 or 3% charge and then jacks up to 100% in minutes.
- My computer also makes like a slight humming noise sometimes when the ring around the power cable is in orange color, so I move it around until it stops. When I do that sometimes it goes from orange to green eventhough it is not fully charged. There has been times that under green it appears to be charging (battery charging icon on desktop shows up), and other sometimes like right now when it is in green color and the battery icon on the desktop says ´99%´. Weird enough, once I get the cable in a certain position it enables the battery to charge, if I keep it without moving it, the load surges disappear (at least for some days).
Should I try resetting the PMU? I´ve not done it because I don´t know what consequences it may have.
NOTE: When I bought the computer I never calibrated my battery because I was (and still are) clueless when comes to computer technicalities. I tried using a different power adapter and get the sample problem.
Below is the information I get from coconut battery:
My battery is in its 256 load-cycle. current battery capacity 58512mAh (original battery capacity: 4400 mAh).
The last system profiler I was able to pull shows:
