How to get out of Safe Mode?

Hi,
I started up in safe mode and was able to trouble shoot a peripheral problem. However, I still have a HD icon on my desktop. How do I get out of Safe mode? I did restart a couple of times but the icon continues to appear.
Thanks!

If you have rebooted, then you are no longer in safe mode. The HD icon is not an indicator of being in safe mode. If you don't want to see hard drive icons on the Desktop, you can set that preference in Finder -> Finder menu -> Preferences -> General.

Hi,
Please see this article: [[Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode]]
I hope that helps. Post back if not.

EDIT: Just noticed that you already rebooted. You say that you "put computer in safe mode". Is firefox in safe mode or your whole computer?
If '''Firefox''' is stuck in safe mode despite reboot
* Check that the shift keys on your keyboard are not stuck down.
* Uninstall firefox and install again (your settings will not be lost as they are stored in your profile folder).
Let me know if neither of those works.

Hi,
To get out of Safe Mode, you can try this:
Control Panel > icon view > Administrative Tools> System Configuration >
Boot Tab > UNCHECK Safe Boot
Then Restart.
If the you still fail to get out of safe mode, considering that corrupted drivers cause your issue:
Please open Device manager, and remove drivers about Video, audio, Network adapter, Bluetooth and additional USB device and try to reboot to see what's going on.

Did you erase it and restore it as a new iPad after you bought it? If not, I would do that first and see if that helps.

Need help getting out of safe mode.

It is my mother's thinkpad model 1838A11, I downloaded games for her through google play store, the apps show up in the apps section in the settings but no where else. Can't find them or play them, then noticed down in the bottom corner it says safe mode, I have very little experience with tablets but safe mode doesn't sound good to me. Could someone please tell me how to get it out of safe mode or tell me what else the problem may be, I've shut it off and back on while holding volume up and other things, but safe mode still pops up.
Thanks.

How to get out of Recovery Mode? Please help!!

Hello all,
I have a Nomad Muvo^2 that is stuck in Reocvery Mode. Turns out that when i loaded recovery mode, i didn't really need it cuz it was just my computer that was messed up. Now with a new computer and me being able to access the E dri've for it and see its contents, i can't get out of Recovery Mode. When i turn my player on it reads this message:
Recovery Mode v.00
Then it lists the different options like PC Scandisk, etc...
How can i get out of it's
Could someone please help me?
Also could i use the Recovery Tool for it even though my specific type of player is not listed?
Thank you

Hi,
What happens when you select the Clean Up option?
Refer to this article for more information on the recovery mode options. The recovery tool is not compatible with this player.

How to get out of recovery mode from a problem in the blackra1n jailbreak

I recently tried to jailbreak my iPhone 5c with the blackra1n app on my mac. It did not work for my iPhone 5c because it was put in recovery mode. What are some methods to get out of recovery mode besides holding the power and home button for ten seconds?

You need to put in in DFU mode (Google it) and Restore it as a new iPhone to get out of that jailbreak.

How do I get out of safe mode in windows 8.1

I entered Safe Mode in my Envy TS 15 running windows 8.1 to fix some issues with my Norton software and now I can't figure out how to exit back to normal mode. Internet is shut off in safe mode (even though I selected safe mode with networking) so I can run any of the Help & Support resolutions. Anyone know how to do this?

Welcome to the HP Forum.
Try / Consider

OR
Another path to the same place:
·         Start the notebook and let it start up in Safe Mode
·         Log in
·         Windows key + R(Opens the Run Window)
·         Type msconfig
·         Opens the System Configuration Menu > Click Boottab
·         REMOVE the tick next to Safe Boot > Applyto save
·         Restart/ Reboot the computer

In addition, you might make sure your security router is set to
Encryption type AES
and
Security type WPA2-Personal

For later, this is real useful to have and it is easy to set up. I have done this.
Safe Mode can easily be added to the boot screen!

How do I get out of Safe Mode?

I have a vintage 2007 iMac that is very slow since the Yosemite and Mavericks upgrades. Apparently I've used up all my RAM (1GB x 2). After speaking to a technical adviser over the telephone a couple of weeks ago, he talked me through a few things within safe mode and said it may or may not help but worth a try. Last night I tried to go through the procedure of removing both the above operating systems, but didn't really know what I wa doing and was guessing command letters on the keyboard.
What I want is to just get back to normal mode so that I can use my slow Mac again. Nothing woks. as you've guessed, I'm a complete novice. Any advice would be much appreciated please. I put in a call to Apple support this morning, waited for half an hour only to find I that I had called wrong support team and was then cut off.
Thanks, Kathleen

Thank you Paul for your quick response. Unfortunately this doesn't work. I must have tried 2 dozen times to restart, sometimes pressing various random keys before the Apple logo appears, sometimes not pressing anything. To get out and back in I have force shutdown.
What happens all the time is that I keep getting the Language window and then a box called OS X Utilities, then I've no idea what to do. The first option "Restore from Time Machine Backup" - I don't even know what Time Machine does. I don,t backup anything - my work production usage is nil.Then "Reinstall OS X" keeps telling me that I'm not connected to the Internet - yes I am. I only have wifi which has never let me down, I'm sending this via my iPad. "Get help online" wants a Safari log-in keychain - don't know what that is and in any case still says I'm not connected to the internet. Finally, in "Disk Utility" I've tried every which way and nothing is accepted wherever I put it.
Any further suggestions will be most welcome.
Regards, Kathleen

I can't tell if I have Mozilla 5 or Firefox 3.6. But it always says it is in SafeMode. How do I get out of safe mode?

There are no more details. Firefox is listed as being in Safe Mode and everytime it opens I have to request that it either open in Safe Mode or choose the settings I want and then start up Firefox, but it never retains the new settings and goes back to Safe Mode.
