Do I need to turn computer (Mac) off before turn LTO5 on?

  • My husband purchased a Mac and without doing anything, it is picking up my itunes library.  How can he get it to recognize his instead? I was told I needed to turn off wifi sharing in mine, but can't find out how to do that.

    What a ding dong, I put my entire question in the subject line.  First time user, sorry.  My husband purchased  desk top Mac, and without importing anything via USB cord, it automatically is picking up my itunes library. He closed out, and signed in with his user id and password, and it still will only pick up mine.  Someone told me it is because I have turned on "share wifi" in my itunes account, and need to turn that off first, but cannot figure out how to do it.  Any suggestions?

    You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here.  If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries.  Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer.  You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
    By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple.  On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application.  So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
    Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.

  • Firefox v15 and up cause my computer (MAC OSX 10.8.2) to freeze for about 30 seconds every 15-30 seconds and forces me to turn it off with the power button

    Firefox v15 and up cause my computer (MAC OSX 10.8.2) to freeze for about 30 seconds every 15-30 seconds and forces me to turn it off with the power button. It only causes this after I have opened Firefox, my computer runs fine before opening Firefox. I have uninstalled Firefox and cleared my personal settings. I have installed future updates (16 and 17) and have run into the same issue. I cannot pull any information on RAM or CPU usage because when it happens it makes my computer unusable. Unfortunately I need to use FF for work and can't. I have tried the different responses on the forums to reduce the amount of RAM and CPU usage with no change in performance.

  • I have an issue where coloured dots (small squares) appear on my screen and it gets to the point where the entire screen freezes although the mouse still moves but nothing works and I need to turn the computer off at the switch. Any ideas?

    I have an issue where coloured dots (small squares) appear on my screen and it gets to the point where the entire screen freezes although the mouse still moves but nothing works and I need to turn the computer off at the switch. It doesn't happen all the time but is very annoying. Any ideas?

    Reset the SMC and PRAM, if the issue continues then you likely have a failing GPU (hardware) that requires repair. To be sure take it in and have it professionally assessed.

  • Do I need to turn off File Vault before I erase a hard drive?

    I have a File Vault 2 password set up on my Mac, in addition to a firmware password.  I'm selling the computer, and I want to make sure everything is wiped out.
    I know how to turn off the firmware password.  However, I was wondering if I need to turn off file vault 2 before I start up the OS in recovery mode, at which point I will erase the hard drive using the 7-pass delete option in disk utility. Or do I not have to worry about that, and go ahead and boot up on the internal system HD in recovery mode to delete the HD entirely, without turning off File Vault first?
    Thanks for the help,
    Eric

    Boot from the installation disc that came with the computer and repartition the internal drive with the default options. Then install the original OS.

  • Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac.

    Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac. I have background switching unchecked in my preferences, and I have never selected it as an option. Also, when I go to my preferences, it will show the icon of the picture I changed it to, even though the desktop itself has switched back.

    I would start with some basic troubleshooting.

    To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
    The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Message "you need to restart computer" when shutdown Mac OS X or WIN7

    On my book Pro with Mac OS X 0.7.2 i creted a new Bootcamp Partition and i installed WIN7 Ultimate. When installation was completed i installed Bootcamp driver. Now i'm able to login with OS x or with Win7 and both system seems to work properly.
    When i shutdown Win7 or OSX a gray window is displayed with this message "YOU NEED TO RESTART COMPUTER. HOLD DOWN YHE POWER BUTTON UNTIL IT TURNS OFF, THEN PRESS THE POWER BUTTON AGAIN."; this message is displayed in 5 different langueges; under the message is displayed a black  icon with the force shutdown / restart button of the mac book pro.
    I follow the required procedure: if i choose to restart with OS X an alert essage is dispayed : "COMPUTER WAS RESTARTED DUE TO A PROBLEM"; dialog suggest to send notification to Apple; this message is displayed in my original language: Italian.
    Some one can help me please?
    Thx

    That is hardware and driver issue and to resolve you are probably going to have to find what was installed and uninstall, and disconnect the device.
    AppleHFS.sys can have trouble mounting drives.
    To write to Windows, NTFS driver (Paragon-Software)
    To stop using AppleHFS, again, replace with a Windows HFS driver
    - if that is the cause
    Apple does not support mounting RAID while in Windows.
    Reinstall won't help. And you can't avoid forever.
    Also boot from Windows 7 DVD and repair - go back to prior restore point.

  • HT4790 how to turn my mac off without waiting filevault back up

    Hi Guys
    Any one can help me out?
    Everytime when I turn my Mac off, it always doing a FileVault backing up before shuts down. This backing up taking a long time, any idea what I shoud do?
    Many thanks
    Charli

    You need not do anything. Leave the computer be. After it finishes the backup it will shut down on its own. You need to let it backup because this is the only time you can backup the computer.

  • I have just synced my iphone to my computer and all of my contacts went onto the computer and off my phone !! i have a mac .when i sync contacts i click on all contacts and only seven are going onto the phone !! can someone please give me an awnser

    When you connect the iPhone to sync with the new computer,  a number of things will happen. If the new computer/iTunes does not contain any music, then yes, you will receive a prompt saying this iPhone is synced to another library, and if you continue, you will lose your music. However, you risk losing a number of other things, such as apps, contacts and calendar data. When you ask about photos, any photos that you have on the iPhone that were synced from the previous computer would also be lost. You need to save the photo folder from the old laptop and transfer that to the new desktop. You also need to sync the contacts and calendar to the same supported application that you were using in the past, such as Outlook, unless you are using an outside web-based sync, such as Google. Also, when you first connect the iPhone, it will make a backup, or at least make sure that it does before you attempt to sync, or you will not have a backup of some of the other things, such as mail settings, SMS, and the contents of the Camera Roll. I would import the photos from the camera roll to the new computer before trying to do anything else in iTunes.

  • Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty.

    Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty. It now has a blank bar under the launch pad and no matter how many times I try re-downloading it or restarting my computer it does not work. I use too play starcraft and other games on this computer although new patched/updates have made it that I can no longer do that now. Really frustrating having to deal with this especially after buying this computer upfront and now out of warranty.

    Go to your Applications folder and find a file called "Install OS X Mavericks".  Send it to the trash and delete it.  Then try the download again.

  • I cannot use ITV player, it says I need to turn off ad blocking - how do I do this? It only began after latest update of Firefox installed.

    I have tried to watch programmes on ITV player, which I have successfully done in the past, but now it tells me it cannot find the video and that I need to turn off ad blocking on my computer. I went into options, but could not find anything about ad blocking. I added www.itv.com to the exceptions list for pop up windows, but this has not helped. The problem only began after the latest update of Firefox was installed. I have never had any problem before. How can I get ITV player back, please.
