HT201276 The "Force Quit Application" window keeps popping up. We only have 3 things running...how do we make it stop?

We do not have many ap's downloaded but this message pops up all the time.

Do any of the 3 show red & not responding?
Could one or more of the Option/alt+CMD or esc key be stuck?
If you detach the Keyboard does it still pop up?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

The 'drag to application' window keeps popping up when I open up Firefox on my Macbook

I just purchased a Macbook and downloaded Firefox a few days ago. At first it showed a Firefox application window for me to drag into the App folder. After doing that everytime I log onto my computer and open Firefox browser, the ' Drag Firefox Application' still pops up. It gets annoying at times how am I able to stop this?
Thanks

I discovered that Flash gets disabled after making this about:config change. Firefox claims that Flash is "out of date" when the latest version is installed. So if you use Flash, this tweak won't work.
I don't really need my browser telling me what I can and can't run...

Application Not listed In Force Quit Applications Window

I running an application that is not displaying in the Force Quit Applications window.
When Adobe Lightroom 3 is running it is not listed.
I have quit the application and relaunched it and it still is not appearing in the list of Applications that are running.
What may have happened? How can I remedy this issue?
Thank you.

Why do you need to invoke the force quit? Are you experiencing hangups, freezes, or ?
When you have the Help section pop up window of an application open, the app itself stays "hidden" until you close the help window - you have to get used to closing that first.

Hi LP700CR7,

My address book is being filled with hundreds of duplicates of the same contact. My Imac then is filling my iphone with so much informatoin it freezes. How do I make it stop, i just wanted to share my contacts through icloud.

They both use AT&T and it is not jailbroken. I have figured out that you need to wipe it and reset it. The big part I have a question about is reading different posts here and other sites say you need the original sim card to make it work, and you cant use a different one. If thats the case I need to know basically the steps after the reset to get the phone to have only my friends info on it.

How do I get rid of the Java Script Application that keeps popping up and saying 'invalid XMC value'?

Every time I click to add something to a message, this pops up. It is very irritating and I have no idea where or how it came from as it just started today.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

The application HP device monitor quit unexpectedly window keeps popping up

Help
I installed driver from HP for my version 10.5.8 and I now get the above message popping up every 5 seconds and I cannot get the printer to work. How can I remove this message and get printer to work wirelessly? I have removed all the files (HP) I can find and restarted comupter but message keeps coming up.
I am very frustrated.

This can depend on whether your iMac running Leopard 10.5.8 is an older PPC (G4 or G5) iMac or a post-2006 Intel based iMac.
They would need different printer drivers - check with HP that you have the right one.

I recently downloaded google chrome and everytime I open it to use,a window keeps popping up to drag it to apps. How can i stop this?

I just want to know how to stop it from appearing everytime i open my browser.

Do as it says and then launch it from the Applications folder. If there's a Dock icon pointing to the instance of it on the mounted image, drag that to the desktop.

Receiving the same text message multiple times when person only sent it once. How can I make it stop?s from

I received the same message multiple times and the person that sends it only did it once. Also, I have trouble getting texts from non iPhone using friends.

It's actually probably a carrier (or hardware) issue on the sender's end. Tell the sender to pull the battery from their phone (or reset it if the battery is non-removable). I've seen this issue with certain HTC phones (HTC did release an update which solved the issue on my Thunderbolt). As far as I knew, I only sent the message once. However, it would show up multiple times on the receiver's phone. Pulling my battery would solve the problem for a while. It did take the software update to stop it permanently.

Why does my macbook pro keep showing me the force quit screen and states that there is not enough memory? The activity monitor shows that there is plenty of memory available.

The message displayed in the Force Quit Applications window says "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. The only applications that I have open are Safari and Finder and I am simply reading a discussion board.

It would appear that this error can be caused by an excessive system demand for swap space that exceeds the maximum allocation. Just try restarting the computer.
I found a possible solution for finding the cause of the error. Open Activity Monitor. Be sure you have the Real Memory column showing and the Processes dropdown menu set to All Processes. Select the Real Mem column and sort in descending order. Leave Activity Monitor open. The next time the error appears the application at the top of the column is the one causing the error.

Another window keeps popping, how to get rid of that

another window keeps popping in spontaneously. Have i got a virus/malware.
Mac cleaner keeps popping in.
How do I avoid that?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
There may also be a file named
           com.something.helper.plist
in the same folder.
Leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the word something is exactly the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified these three files, back up all data, then drag the three files you found to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
(where something is the same word as before), drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually another folder, though it has a different icon. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

HT5557 My IPad keeps kicking me out on Ibooks, why? How do I make it stop?

My IPad keeps kicking me out of IBooks, why.? How can I make it stop?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.

My apps keep closing suddenly. How do I make this stop?

If I'm using an app, I can use it for a bit but then it suddenly closes. I was in the app store and it was doing the same thing. How do I make this stop?

Try this.
Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Every time I hide the add-ons bar, it re-appears on startup. How do I make it stop?

Well, It's just like it says in the question title. I don't want to see the add-on bar at the bottom (or at all, for that matter), but I want to keep my add-ons. Every time I open Firefox, there it is, and I right click and uncheck the "add-on bar" option. But it keeps showing up every time I restart Firefox. How can I make it stop reappearing?

In order to switch to another persona that you had previously installed, do the following:
#Go to ''Tools'' and click ''Add-ons'' (or click the Firefox button at the top left and click ''Add-ons'').
#Switch to the ''Appearance'' tab. You should find your previously used personas in the list.
#Find the one you want to use and click the ''Enable'' button.
To uninstall the other ones you can click the ''Remove'' button on them and they'll be uninstalled instantly.
