How do I permanently shut off icloud from my macbook pro. Safari will not let me shut down

I have a macbook pro 2008 with operating system Maverick.  Today I was asked to join i cloud.  I do not want to join i cloud.  I just want to keep my computer as it is with the new operating system.  It seems I now joined I cloud and cannot shut down Safari unless i sign up for all of the uses of icloud.  Please advise me how to get out of all of this and just go back to my previous set up.  What can I do to get rid of ICloud and shut down my computer (Safari)?

You can shut off iCloud in System Preferences.
If Safari seems hung, click the Apple icon, then Force Quit. If it says Not Responding next to Safari force quit it.

  • I have a MacBook Pro, and will not let me open a file because it says I do not have permission.  How do I fix this?

    I have a MacBook Pro and it will not let me open a file that I have used several times in the past because it says that I do not have permission to use it.  How do I fix this?

    Oops, my bad.  The repair disk permissions in Disk Utility doesn't actually fix the User home folders.  To do that boot into the recovery partition and when the recovery desktop appears select Utilities -> Terminal. Enter “resetpassword” and press return - don't worry you're not actually going to reset your password!
    Ensure that your username is selected from the “Select user account” menu, then under “Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs” click the “Reset” button.
    Click on the Apple menu and restart your computer.

  • HT1338 how do I boot a MacBook pro that will not shut down

    HOw can I reboot shut don MacBook pro that will not shutdown, please help.....?......

    Hi, I'm having similar problem. I just got a Lacie ext drive to back up my photos and vids and now my laptop wont shut down or go to sleep properly.  May or may not be related to Lacie. Could just be a coincidence.
    I first noticed problem when I closed it to go to sleep and the apple logo kept flashing on and off.
    When I opened the laptop the screen was flashing white then black, then white then black.   Had to force shut
    it down (opt, cmnd,power), had to hold it down a very long time before it responded.  However, that didn't keep it shut down. It just started back up again.  But at least it wasn't flashing. 
    Then when i tried to shut it down normally it would shut down, go black for a moment and then the Apple song would play and it would start  back up again.    It also won't stay asleep. It sleeps for two seconds when put into sleep mode then snaps awake.
    strange problem... Very annoying. Next option is to unplug and let battery run out.

  • How can I move my iPhoto Library from my MacBook Pro to my iMac or hard drive??

    How can I move my iPhoto Library from my MacBook Pro to my iMac or to my external hard drive? 'Help' is not helping!!

    To move to another machine:
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    To move to an external disk:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How do I transfer a music file from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone?

    How do I transfer a music file from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone?

    If you download Adode Reader (free but very limited) or GoodReader (many features) - you can use file sharing.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under Devices. Click on the Apps tab in the iTunes window on the right. Scroll down to the File sharing apps window. Click on the file sharing app that you are using (Adobe Reader or GoodReader in this example). Drag the document from the desktop onto the file sharing window on the right side - or click on the add button in the lower right corner - and navigate to where the file is on the Mac and select it that way.

    How can I completely delete an app from my Macbook Pro?

    For programs that do not require an Administrator's password to install on your Mac, drag its program icon to the Trash. For those that require a password, research its developer's website or other support options for specific uninstallation instructions.
    Never use all-purpose "cleaners" or "zappers" or similarly named clever utilities to uninstall anything.

    FCPX crashed and I reported it here. Tom Wolsky suggested I trash prefs, perform an fsck, reboot and redownload FCPX from the App store. The reboot was okay but Safari will not let me access the App Store to redownload FCP. I'm running 10.6.8 but the App Store icon is grayed out. I get a "Safari doesn't recognize addresses starting with macappstore."
    How do I get to the App Store to get FCPX back? I'm using the Trial version now.

    How are you linking to the App Store from Safari? From this page?

    I have cleared history, reset my phone, tried using wifi and mobile data.

    I have this problem too and have tried all suggestions to fix, with no luck.
    Safari did work for a short time by switching to Private, but stopped working soon after
