Computer is stuck in an endless loop of "this computer is scheduled for sleep in 10 minutes" it's 2 in the morning and I am afraid
My macbook pro (2014, mavericks, I would tell you what specific version but my computer is sick) started acting strangely, the brightness button failed to work and things were loading slowly before I got the first prompt that my computer would be going to sleep in ten minutes. Now the window will not go away. If I cancel the prompt, it comes right on back with a fresh count down. I can't type or do anything or access my library because that stupid window is trying to take over my life. I've restarted my computer multiple times, put it to sleep, let the timer run out, reboot it in safe mode, and none of it has worked. I'm panicking. Please I am so tired I just want to go to sleep without all this fear in my heart. Is this because daylight savings? I hear apple can't seem to wrap its head around daylight savings ?? And that a year or two ago there were folks with a similar issue but their OS allowed a lil way to the library I don't have. Can anyone help me. I am tired
I would first do a SMC and PRAM reset. See this link:

Have you checked on the Epson support site? R200 support is located here.

Time Machine wireless setup failed, now stuck in an endless loop...
Oh dear!
I've had my TM up and running, backing up my main iMac and MBP without problems. I've had it configured to "join a wireless network".
This evening I decided to change this so that the TM would "create a wireless network", with the intention of retiring my existing modem/router.
Something went wrong somewhere along the way and I'm now faced with a Airport Utility message box reading "Airport Utility was unable to find any Apple wireless devices. Make sure ... then click rescan to try again".
I don't understand what this means. Which "wireless device" is being referred to here? The TM or the iMac itself? Having tried rescan a couple of times I thought I'd give up, close down the Airport Utility / Time Capsule setup dialog boxes and revert back to my original configuration.
However, this doesn't seem to be possible. When I reopen the TM part of system preferences and choose "Setup Time Capsule" it seems to jump straight to the "Airport Utility was unable to find any Apple wireless devices..." message. There are buttons for revert and update whilst the "discovering" swirlygig is playing, but these are greyed out. Likewise the manual setup button that appears thereafter. In fact, the only button that is clickable is Rescan, which takes me straight back to "Airport Utility was unable to find any Apple wireless devices...".
So I am stuck in an endless loop with no apparent way out.
Thoughts / ideas welcomed! Thanks in advance, Ian.Could you be a bit more specific, and drop a few pronouns? What I'm understanding is this:
1. You have a Time Capsule
2. Time Machine was functioning perfectly
3. You wanted to create a wireless network (??? You lost me here. Shouldn't Time Capsule create a network already?)
4. You cannot set it up through System Preferences. (You're using so many terms that I can't tell what you're trying to say in the "However" paragraph.
Try using Airport Utility in the Utilities folder, found in the Applications folder.

Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer, I go to Store> Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.
So I am unclear, did you purchase these songs or import them from a cd?
If you imported them and still have the CD try importing them again and see if they work the delete the others.
Or if you purchased from itunes re-dowwnload and see if they work. Maybe they are corrupted files and this should resove it. -
I have a Macbook Pro 13", that was purchased in 2010-2011. So randomly yesterday, when I boot up my computer I got to the boot screen, then code popped up on my screen. ** I have attached an image of the code below.** But after the code pops up, my computer shuts down, and tries to boot up again. This is an endless loop and doesn't get passed the boot screen. The code shows up everytime.
I personally believe this might be a software issue and not a hardware. Please feel free to shoot out any ideas or a translation of what the code is referring to.
THINGS I HAVE ALREADY DONE:
- Reset the PRAM by holding CMD+Option+P+R
- Gone into Safemode and tired to verify the Harddrive.
- Please don't comment saying, "take out the battery." , "hold the power button for.." , None of that sh#* works.
Below is three different links for the same image. (just in case, **** breaks).

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2z82stl&s=8#.U0LJidy4nFIWhat happens if you boot holding the command S keys down?
If it stays running in single user mode
try the command
fsck -fy
You could try holding the option key on bootup, to see if presents you with a startup disk however
It looks as if you need to reistall the OS. -
Stuck in an endless loop during Leopard installation
I just purchased an IMac which came with a Leopard upgrade. I was successful in installing the upgrade initially but had problems with the IDVD application. I browsed for possible fixes and found one which recommended erasing Themes 1 through 4 under the IDVD directory and reinstalling ILife. Couldn't find a separate ILife or IDVD applicatin within the apps package included with the Leopard upgrade disc provided. I then thought that it would be easier just to reinstall the Leopard. Hence, the problem. I left it running most of the night and woke up this morning just to see that same gray screen with the apple logo and still looping so I turned it off. I have always been a big Mac fan from back in the 80s when I purchased the first generation Mac, but was forced to switch to PC because of work. Even so, I've always thought that Mac was far superior the Windows for ease of use and lesser trouble. This is the first time since then that I've finally decided to revert back to Mac for these reasons, but as it is turning out, I might be wrong. Need any suggestions on how to resolve this problem. I tried restarting, and it takes me back to the same gray screen in an endless loop. Not noing what the next step should be, I just turn it off. HELP!!!!!
No problem
Here is how you re-instal just idvd or other applicatons that came with your mac:

ITunes Match Stuck In An Endless Loop...
When I turn on iTunes Match, it progresses to the upload stage, but it repeatedly stops within one to two songs and starts all over again. It will do this as long as I allow it to go without manually stopping it. In addition, it keeps dumping and removing song titles from selected albums and separates songs within albums which I have purchased singles from. Can someone please advise me as to how I can make this program work correctly? It has been a continuous nightmare since I purchased it!
I found this to be an "unofficial" ISP problem. I use WOW/Knology and I read of this happening with Comcast (surprise! surprise!). Evidently, the iTunes Match transfer was using too much bandwidth and WOW clamped down on this.
My iTunes Match was in an endless loop. Following all the instructions that I found about this in the support area did not resolved the issue. I did find two answers claiming to resolve this issue. Both mentioned "port throttling"--that is, limiting the upload speed on a specific port (https--443) or a variety of ports. I tried the easiest and throttled port 433 to 128K max and reran iTunes Match. It complete parts 1 and 2 easily. iTunes Match is working on part 3 currently. Slowly but surely--has has been working steadily for 16-18 hours now (my iTunes library is ~85GB). (The transfer listed each file as it is being transferred. It is interesting to see the transfer penalty of never throwing "anything" away.)
There are several port-throttling programs for the Mac. " Entonnoir " was the one recommended and the one I am using. It is a free download --the publisher does ask for a donation. -
I think my code should work, but it sometimes gets stuck. It's supposed to add numbers of type double and sort them from smalles to largest into an array.
This is my code: //This method inserts a double into its proper sorted position in a sorted
//list. Throws exception if the list is full.
public void sortedAdd(double num){
if (numItems >= LIST_SIZE){
System.out.println("List is full, cannot add more.");
else if (numItems==0){
items[0] = num;
numItems++;
else if (items[numItems-1] <= num){
items[numItems] = num;
numItems++;
else{
int i=numItems-1;
while(items>num){
items[i+1] = items[i];
if (i<=1){
items[0] = num;
numItems++;
else{
i--;
if (i>1){
items[i+1] = num;
numItems++;
But, for example, when I have an array of size 3 that contain 3 identical numbers, like this:23
23
23and I want to add a smaller number, like say: 5.4, my program gets stuck.
It should be like this:5.4
23
23
23Ok, so I got this thing to work, jverd, but I don't really understand it. Can you help me?
This is the answer, and in bold is all I changed.
public void sortedAdd(double num){
if (numItems >= LIST_SIZE){
System.out.println("List is full, cannot add more.");
else if (numItems==0){
items[0] = num;
numItems++;
else if (items[numItems-1] <= num){
items[numItems] = num;
numItems++;
else{
int i=numItems-1;
while(items>num){
items[i+1] = items[i];
if (*i<1*){
items[0] = num;
numItems++;
else{
i--;
if (*i>=1*){
items[i+1] = num;
numItems++;
The only thing I did was move the equal sign from above and place it below. I have to admit, I did this out of desperation and trial and error, so can someone explain to me why this fixes the code?
Thanks again jverd and I'm marking the question as answered. -
Firefox has broken Gmail, and now stuck in an endless loop
Firefox is telling me Gmail is untrusted. Furthermore I click "I Understand the risks' to add an exception and it tells me the Certificate is valid, so I can't add an exception, then it sends me back to the "site is untrusted" page.
The only thing that's changed is that my laptop just came back from repair (I kept the HD). Everything else is fine.
I've tried advice in other articles about clearing cache, removing cookies.sqlite and all that to no avail.
Another thing, possibly related, my ISP has been doing some major repairs on 'International Connections', and the Mozilla also site came up with a Certificate warning as well. It also came up on my phone. Yet, strangely, Gmail works fine on my phone.Check the Date and Time in the Clock on your computer: (double) click the Clock icon on the Windows Taskbar
* '''Date and Time Properties''' -> go to '''Internet Time''' -> select '''Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server
* under '''Server''' select '''time.windows.come''' & click '''Update Now''' button
* click OK
Check and tell if its working. -

My computers uses WindowsXP. The latest Apple Software Update put the latest version of iTunes on my computer, and now iTunes doesn't work. I've tried that instructions on the Apple homepage (delete program, reinstall, etc.), and nothing works. What's worse is that I'm getting error messages every time I log on to my computer. Is this latest version a pile of pooh? Anybody know how to fix this? Or do I need to wait for Apple to figure out where they screwed up?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Every time I close Firefox and try to restart it my computer leaves a message that I still have Firefox running and that it is unresponsive and needs to be closed. The problem is that there isn't a still-running Firefox to be found, consequently it is impossible to close and therefore impossible to open. I have used every form of Firefox and this is the first time this has happened. Please, please don't force me to use Chrome or iExplorer!!
Start Firefox in Safe Mode (above). Wait a few minutes, then close Firefox.
Is there still a problem?
If you are still having issues;
Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press '''Enter.'''
Under the main banner, press the button; '''Copy Text To Clipboard.'''.
Then in the reply box at the bottom of this page,
do a right click in the box and select '''Paste.'''

how to authorize computer in order to sync iphone 4s
have gone to store & authoized this computer but still will not back up 11 items
any suggestions?Those items were probably purchased with a different Apple ID. You will have to authorize iTunes to that Apple ID also. It's OK to have content from more than one Apple ID in your iTunes library, but each of them must be authorized.

My account keeps asking for 2 security question answers saying this is the first time I used this computer not true used this computer many times. Then when I put ansers in says incorrect answers. What's up with this?
There have a few other posts from people saying that they are being asked their questions despite it not being the first purchase on the computer or device.
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team :http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
