Help! Desktop Frozen!

Help! Desktop Frozen!
Here is the deal--
I was uploading some photo Image Files(jpg) to the internet. I was moving a ton of files(over 300) from one folder on the desktop to the trash and accidently moved them onto the desktop, it filled all my spaces and then my power went out.
Problem--
I restarted the MAC and the desktop is frozen, I can go open programs from the DOCK, except TRASH, I cant open up any files of folders on my desktop and when I try I get the spinning circle for 20 secs. I tried to restart, but it won't and I have to pull the plug. I tried that with another startup disk but and it won't start up from another disk--but I can insert a new disk whenever.
I can't even open my hard drive files because there are tons of icons on top of the HD icon, because of all the file icons from the move.
Please help!

Mac desktop frozen blue screen

Need help with frozen blue screen during start up. I have Mac Desktop. Any ideas please?

Try booting in Safe Mode. Power down the Mac, wait 10 seconds, reboot the system... when you hear the system chime, hold down the shift key. Don't press the shift key before the chime, just after you hear it. Release the shift key once the Apple logo appears.
To leave Safe Mode, just restart your Mac but don't hold the shift key down during the boot process.

Help - Lost Administrator Password: Recovery Desktop Frozen

I have an early 2009 24" iMac running 10.7.4. I have Find my Mac active and have somehow lost my administrator password.
I have seen other questions and answers. I cannot log out to reset the password. Command + R takes me to the recovery desktop. Track pad and arrow keys allow me to navigate around the recovery screen but I am unable to select Utlilities>Terminal. In fact I cannot select any of the other options e.g. re-install Lion etc.
Getting desparate, so please, can anyone help?

Thank you. It has taken me months to get used to the light touch associated with gestures. Nice to know that a heavy hand can still be required!!!

Desktop frozen on startup after installing new video card. Please help!

Recently we upgraded my computers graphics card to a Gigabyte Geforce GTX650 and we have also upgraded the power supply to an EX2 525W power supply. When we plug the PCIE into the video card and enable the slot the screen goes to the standard startup screen and says press escape for startup menu but then freezes there. We have tried updating the BIOS and we have made sure that all the connections were secure. If we try having the video card plugged in and run the onboard graphics the computer will beep several times and there will be no screen output.
Power supply: http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?product_id=3082
Video card: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4359#ov
Any and all help is greatly appreciated on this!
-Conner

I understand a new video card isn't working as expected.
What is the product number and model of the PC? The following document details how to find this information should you need it.

Desktop frozen but cursor works

My cursor started acting strangely so I re-started but now my screen is frozen even though my cursor is moving correctly and the desktop info box is open on screen. Help?

Hi MrBradyBunch,
The situation you descripted should be related to a service or software conflict, as well as a hardware driver problem, to confirm this, try to boot your computer in safe mode, Safe mode Starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode
if the problem disappear, indeed, this should be caused by a service a hardware driver, you can log on in normal mode and perform a clean boot to fix this:
1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
2. Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click msconfig.
The detailed steps can be found at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If the problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as possible causes, you shoud turn to the computer vendor where you purchased the computer for harware support.

Help with frozen macbook pro

The other day when wrote my password and I login in my user the desktop got frozen, I couldn't do anuthing, so I turned it off, whrn I turned it back on, the same thing happened: The computer doesn't respond, it is frozen everytime I turned it back on. The applications don't respond, either the finder icon or the keyboard. I tried to turned it off and turned it back on, but the same thing happens. I tried to press comand + R and this kind of combination, and i tried to reinstall the operative system, but still doesn't work. Please help!

When troubleshooting, disconnect all devices from your computer. Was this done?
Can you boot into safe mode? Try zapping your PRAM.
Care to share which OS you are using?

Help, clips "frozen" and blank after import

I imported about 7 minutes of footage from my Panasonic DV cam. Everything looked fine as I scrubbed through it and added clips to the project. I did let iMovie do image stabilization. I added a few titles, and let the project do the "scrapbook" template, and things looked great. I added a song or two, and was adjusting where they begin in the timline, and all of a sudden, my clips were "frozen". I mean, as I would run the mouse over them, there was one frame that played, and nothing else. There were 4 clips like this.
I decided to just replace them with the clips in the lower part of the iMovie window, because they still played fine. I deleted the ones that were messed up, then drug the clip back into the top part, and then they too were broken. Then, in the lower part, the same clip that played fine 5 seconds ago, is now black. (no video)
Any ideas?

No, I didn't try restarting my computer. I don't think it will help, but I will try. I had to pretty much scrap my whole project. I used time machine to get a copy of the files from the night before. This at least saved me from having to capture all over again. (not to mention waiting on the processing time for stabilization)

TS1717 Help with frozen downloads

I downloaded two episodes of Mad Men. Both of them showed up twice in my library, each with an exclamation point next to the title. They freeze minutes into the program. Help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is it frozen or is it stuck on hold? Connect it to your computer. Does it do anything. Does it say Do Not Disconnect when connected?
If not, then the iPod may be frozen, so try to reset your iPod by holding down Menu and Select for 6-10 seconds...
Resetting iPod
It may take several attempts. The above link also has "tips" if your iPod does not seem to be resetting.
Now, if the iPod does say Do Not Disconnect, then the iPod may be stuck on hold. See if a restore helps...

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I suggest this thread:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...
It starts with a process for cleanly starting over, and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, if those are needed. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
Good luck!

HELP Desktop reorganized, file split into 10 different pieces -- any way to revert without losing anything? Urgent!

HELP!
I was showing a friend/client how to take a screenshot of a section of the screen (cmd+shift+4), but I accidentally pressed ctrl+cmd+4 and perhaps a few others (mistake due to using non-apple keyboard with mine), which reorganized her very cluttered but very purposeful desktop!
She was rather upset. It also placed all the files that wouldn't fit in a row beneath her hard-drive icon. Understandably, this is frustrating for her; but what made it worse is that a very important document (is it PDF, .Doc? I don't know...) is, she claims, in TEN PIECES! How is this possible?
I think those are just leftover pieces and the main file is there somewhere, but I haven't heard from her -- this happened yesterday afternoon -- and I don't know if she's even used the finder to locate it (does she remember the name of the file?) -- and now she's going to visit the Apple store, and hoping they can do something for this dilemma!
They can revert to a previous state, but then she might lose recent files.
Is there any way (even intensive) to undo this re-organization of her desktop?
What is the explanation of the important file splitting into ten pieces (apparently from accidentally re-organizing her desktop or pressing a combination of cmd, shift, ctrl, alt, and 4)? Is there any simple way to undo either of these? (I'd gladly suggest a program for her to use to combine pieces of a PDF file or images into a .doc, but at this point, understandably, she is wary of my help. I still want to know what's going on, nevertheless.)
Thank You All!

No way I know of to undo an arrange. And I've never heard of files being broken into pieces, whether PDF, DOC, or other.

HELP! FROZEN NANO

hey my nano is frozen, and NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING I do, unsticks it, I have tried sliding the hold button back and forth, and pressing pause for a gazillion seconds, plugging it in to my lap top, pluging it into the wall, updating itunes ( itunes won't even pick it up when the nano is plugged into the USB)..
I am super mega frustrated because I have only had my nano for two freakin weeks, and I tried online chat support, and it wouldn't let me on, so this is my only recourse it seems, unless I just send it away..
has anyone had this happen? and it's been like this for like 24 hours, and the battery power isn't seeming to go down, well I can't tell because the screen is frozen, it's paused in the middle of a song.. won't it just eventually turn off?
Ipod nano Windows XP

Hi Jennyd,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I am sorry to hear that your iPod Nano is frozen, and that you are unable to fix it. I suggest trying the The Five Rs. If that doesn't work, you might want to drain your iPod Nano's battery completely, and then recharge it till it is full. Usually that will do the trick.
I hope that helps,
Jon
PS When you drain your battery, just let it sit over night or something like that. It might take longer, but it should not have anything on the display when it is completely empty

Please Help! Frozen Buttons on Bottom Bar

Hi -- the four buttons on the bottom bar of the screen (phone, camera etc) are frozen -- ive tried resetting the device, but they still do not work - the rest of the screen works normally...
Does anyone have any ideas to help me? Thanks!!

If a restore does not correct the problem, you'll need to take it into the store for servicing.
