Diagnostics programme has frozen the iMAC ?

In attempting to connect to a vacation wireless network, the Network Diagnostics programme started.
At the screen asking if I use DSL or cable modem ....the curser has turned into a spinning coloured disk , and does not respond.
None of the toolbar icons at the top can be used due to the spinning disk.
I have tried shutting it down , and re-booting , to no avail.
Is there a control / alt / delete??
This is coming from my spouse's Macair , in case you wondered how I am posting.
Any help will be appreciated.

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
If you're still having that problem, hold down the keys command and option, then press the escape key. That should cause to appear a window to "Force Quit Applications". If you see that diagnostic program in the list, select it and click "Force Quit".

  • Time Machine has frozen the iMac

    I have just opened Time Machine for the first time from the dock and the computer seems to have frozen. It opened Time Machine and now I have a screen which says Cancel - Today (Now) -Restore at the bottom and I can see my inbox going back in time. But nothing responds to the mouse and when I press command alt esc together nothing happens either. I am running Leopard not Snow Leopard.
    Please could some one help and tell me how to quit this Time Machine and get back to the normal screen? Apple Phone Help isn't available until tomorrow.
    Thanks very much!

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    You may have to do a force power off of your Mac (hold the power button down until it turns off).
    Disconnect your TM drive before starting up again.
    Once your Mac is up and running, turn TM off (via TM Preferences), and reconnect the drive.
    It sounds like your TM disk is either not set up properly, or something on it is corrupted.
    Start by verifying the setup, via #C1 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    If that's all good, do a +*Repair Disk+* on it, per #A5 there.
    If it finds no errors, or fixes all that it finds, try another backup.

    My camera has frozen, the shutter will not open for me to take a photo.

    try soft reset dude (press and hold power and home button together, NOTE: the only time you let go of those buttons is when you see the apple logo, when you see the apple logo: let go quickly. your iPhone should restart, if NOT, turn it on and do soft reset again)
    then test your camera.

    I have tried to hold - button or main button for suggested 8 seconds to RESET the iPod to no avail. SUGGESTIONS ?? :+)

    Myelo,
    Have you tried restting your iPod?
    You can do so by toggeling the hold switch back and forth a few times, and then holding the menu and the center button in for 5-10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.
    Kind regards,

  • What is the best way to shut down an iMac that has frozen during a data transfer? The disk I was writing to will not eject. Stopping "copy items to" doesn't work either_ it is frozen as well. Is there a way to force eject the disk so I can shut down?

    Some more information on the above: OS: 7.2
    1. None of the shutdown commands would work so I held the power button down and received a prompt that asked if I wished to force eject the drive, I selected
    the force eject and then shut down.
    2. Just recently I installed an eSATA _ Thunderbolt_ port multiplier compliant PCIe card (Seritek Q6G) into a thunderbolt external chassis (OWC Helios) (seritek Q6G).
    This freeze data transfer also happened when I connected a Firmtek 5PM external tower to the iMac via thunderbolt cable.
    The driver for the seritek Q6G was installed in the iMac previous to connection of any of the devices.
    Both external towers mount ok on the iMac but have frozen during data transfer.
    The initial freeze was with the Firmtek 5PM which is (JBOD)_ I thought that might have had something to do with the freeze_ it being JBOD_ so next I tried the Mercury Elite AL Pro Q2- which is formated in RAID 5. But then froze too.
    Anybody have any experience with this?
    Maybe I need another driver?
    Or maybe some update to my OS?
    Any suggestions welcomed.
    Thank you

    Hello BDAqua, thanx for the suggestions. Before I saw this reply I tried to first quit the finder and then to relaunch the Finder but that resulted was a blank gray screen.
    In the end I ended up having to power down the iMac.
    Fortunately the RAID array that was "active" seems to be fine and also has a firewire 800 connection so I can use it_ just not with thunderbolt until this issue is solved.
    I'm going to check in the Applications>Utilities>system log to see if any clues are evident_ thank you for the suggestion.
    PS: Nothing of note was obvious as a root cause in the Activity Monitor though.
    hmmm....I was told that the Helios and seritek card were compatable and that the Helios didn't require any drivers..it will be a drag if there isn't an easy fix for this since this new PCIe card from seritek is the first to offer port multiplier compatibility for eSATA to thunderbolt...since they are both new I'm hoping that an OS upgrade will be the fix (presently7.2)...we shall see.

  • My 2011 Imac 27" has been crashing and running very erratically and slowly. The only change has been the update to 10.8.1, I will paste the consol kernal panic report.  Is there a software conflict?

    Hi, first time posting on the forum. I own a 2011 IMAC i5 with 12gb of ram 27 inch. Over the last five days the computer has been crashing and running very erratically. When the computer has crashed the entire computer has become unresponsive and frozen, requiring a reboot or two. At other times the computer has slowed way down and the dreaded spinning beachball has appeared and the computer takes its sweet time trying to process something. Iphoto has also crashed independently when the beahball will not disappear. THE entire system is running way below its usual stellar quad performance. I have run a ram test and everything has come back clean, I have fixed any broken permissions, and deleted any newly added software (starcraft2). There is over 250Gb of hard drive free and the activity monitor shows no unusual processes. The computer automatically updated it self recently to 10.8.1 has this caused a conflict with some software? Or is there a deeper problem?
    Below are the console reports. There are also reports for unversalaccessd  ,  mdworker, Isregister, loginwindow, iphoto, DMproxy which can be supplied.
    Thanks for any help.

    Since migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and upgrading to iTunes 11, the latter has frozen while syncing my devices, usually while at the “determining apps to sync” stage of the process.  If I am attempting to download app updates before attempting to sync, the problem normally occurs at the first “installing app x” stage.  In addition, the whole iTunes experience is extremely sluggish and will even freeze while searching for a track.  Everything worked fine on Windows 7.  So far, I have repaired the program several times and have checked for compatibility issues, but there is no Windows 8 option in the combo box, obtained after right-clicking the icon and selecting Properties/Compatibility.  As a result, I am unable to sync my devices. If I uninstall iTunes before re-installing, will this affect my iTunes libraries?  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    After going by elimination to isolate if the problem was from (1) iTunes app, (2) my computer or (3) my old iPhone 4G, I figured out what my problem was.
    1) First I deleted & reinstalled iTunes on my Windows PC without succes, my playlist did not changed on my iPhone.
    2) I tested a successful #sync from the iMac at work.
    So my conclusion is: The hard drive on my Windows PC is full and that is affecting iTunes SYNC functionalities.
    So I'll do a back-up then run a "Clean Install" of my Windows OS, hoping that it will fix my SYNC problems.

    If you have additional pointing devices attached, especially a graphics tablet, it is still directing mouse operations at the same time as the mouse you have your hand on. The end result is the SUM of commands from all such devices.

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

    My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
    Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.
