HT1338 My MacBook Air froze today after it went to sleep I can't get it to shut off or anything, and the mouse is frozen in the same spot. What should I do?

Please help! I start college again next week and will need it ASAP!

Hi Melissa and welcome to Apple Discussions,
Try Force Quit. Press Alt key + Apple key which is to the right of the Alt key + Escape key top left all at the same time and and a force quit applications window should open. Highlight iphoto and click on the blue force quit in the bottom right.
Hope this helps,
Alan

  • After my mac will sleep, I can't get the monitor back on

    Why is it that about once a week, when my computer sleeps it won't turn back on.  I try waking it with the keyboard and the mouse and nothing works. I have also tried the power button on the back and I have to hold it to turn the computer off and then hold it again to turn it back on... I'm sure that isn't great for the computer, what do I do???

    If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • If i buy macbook air 128GB but i wan to upgrade to 256GB can~?

    i use a macbook air 128GB but i wan to upgrade to 256GB can~?on apple store

    No, or at least not without voiding your warranty.  Neither the RAM nor the storage on MBA or retina MBP is considered user serviceable nor is it an upgradeable part through Apple.
    You really need to buy any of those all-solid state machines with what you want, as that is all it's ever going to have.

    Al that is left are the standard fixes:
    - Reset the dock
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I turned on my Macbook pro for the first time and the mouse is frozen

    I turned on my Macbook pro for the first time and the mouse is frozen since the first screen. I did the start up, but using the comands on the keyboard. I think the laptop is configured to blind people. I just got at the desktop, but the mouse is frozen.

    If this is a new machine, you have 14 days to return the machine for an exchange or a full refund. Your trackpad should work out of the box and what you're seeing onscreen may very well be settings for the partially sighted.

    Hello kanani-2014,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your Mac not turning on. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
    Resolution
    If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
    Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
    If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter. 
    Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
    Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
    If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.

    If you are still unable to start up your computer after trying each of these steps, visit an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for further diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).

    If you use a trackpad and don't want to switch to a mouse, you can uninstall and reinstall all day long and will still have problems, but if you really want to try it, you can download PSE 12 here:

    Try to boot your computer in Safe Mode: restart and hold the shift key down.
