Cannot quit Safari and therefore cannot shut down computer. Any suggestions?

Downloaded software updates, which requires restart. Because Safari won't quit, computer refuses to shut down and restart.

Can you 'Force Quit' as an option?....click the Apple in the upper menu bar and choose Force Quit and then Safari....

Safari and Word keep shutting down, any idea why?

I have a Macbook since a little more than 3 years, but recently Safari and Word keep shutting down. Is there any way to fix this or my laptop is going to die?

Are you sure its those two programs or is it a mac fault, if not you could try reinstalling the software

Iphoto has been importing photos for over an hour and i can't get it to stop. can't stop importing and can't shut down computer.

iphoto has been importing photos for over n hour and I can't get it to stop. Can't get out of iphoto and can't shut down computer.

iPhoto works best when the source (Pictures folder) is on a different disk drive than the iPhoto Library is on.
And you need to have enough free disk space to work with, the faster the better.
Also, do not keep your media folders and those in your home folder on the same drive as the system, also another bottleneck.
Until or unless you have everything on 1400MB/sec SSD PCIe controller, you want
System boot drive
Media and data folders and such
scratch
backup
etc
I put iPhoto on an SSD off an SSD PCIe Sonnet Tempo card
If you stop- it, you will need to trash the Library it was creating.
Reading and writing to/from the same hard drive will be slow.
You don't mention which Mac, or how large you are trying to import etc
Also the support page and link to the iPhoto Commuinity is off this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto
Take a look in Activity Monitor. See what the % being used for iPhoto, how many pageouts, how much free space on the various disk drives, and how much RAM do you have installed?

I am having the same problem with my ipad air but mine is so severe that it's just rebooting non stop. I guess the battery will die eventually but it has rendered the device useless. I guess I will be taking it back to apple. Very disappointed. Never had an apple product in 20yrs have such a severe problem.

Start up sound, apple appears, then shuts down. Any suggestions?

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

HT201401 Safari and Camera spontaneously shut down...help

I have an iPhone 4s. I do all the updates that are available, so I'm at the latest version of iOS available. Safari will open and let me use it, but it spontaneously shuts down frequently...to the point where I don't even use it now, its so irritating. Also the Camera was doing the same thing. I would hit the shutter button and it would shut down. Did that for awhile... couldn't get it to even work to take a picture in a text. Now it won't even open... hit the app and it starts to open and then shuts down. Anyone have similar issues or a solution?
Thanks!

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

My mouse was scrolling 'normally' and has stopped scrolling down. Any suggestions?

My mouse was scrolling down 'normally' but has stopped scrolling down, forcing me to use the less convenient drag-down bar at the right hand side of the screen. It continues to scroll up. 'Settings' doesn't seem to offer a 'restore' scroll down. Any suggestions?

I am having trouble with safari and most apps shutting down when I'm in the middle of stuff what do I need to do to resolve this?

I am havering trouble with safari and apps shutting down on me all the time what can I do to resolve this problem. Thanks :-)

Make sure you have enough free space on your iPad. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free. For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
Also try a reset. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First of all, try closing all applications. To do it, press Command, Alt and Esc keys to open Force Quit, and close all applications except Finder. Finally, you should be able to turn off your MacBook correctly

Just installed Mac OS X 10.6.8 on my i5 iMac and now safari and app store crash my Mac, any suggestions or similar experiences

Just installed a recommended upgrade of Mac OS X 10.6.8 on my iMac i5, now when I launch safari or app store it crashes. I was looking to upgrade to Lion this week but cannot open the app store. facetab, safari and app store all crash so far, every time I open them unfortunatley as I have no time machine back up I don't know what to do!!!

I have the same issue on my macbook - but only with the app store. although, I haven't tried safari since I use FF. Any resolutions out there?? 10.6.8 - cant run the 10.6.6 update combot that seems to fix the issue with other folks.

My macbook pro won't connect to internet and won't shut off. Any suggestions?

My machine appears to be operating normally except that it won't connect to wifi and won't restart or shut down.
I've tried Command q'ing all running programs and still nothing.
Guidance would be much appreciated.

You could also try a Safe Boot - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564 - I would also make sure to get permissions repaired.
There are a host of other means to try, but these are a good start.
