  • My iphone shuts down randomly and then starts up again spontaeously?

    I used it in the rain a few days ago, it also vibrates despite the setting being off.... any fixes please? Thank you

    Try "Sleep" from Apple menu.
    If that does not help, contact Apple.
    Buying a new one is a good idea.
    Best.

  • HT5361 I can't shut down my computer because it says mail is open.  It says to close mail and continue shut down.  Problem is I can't open or close mail now.  Can't shut down my computer at all.  What can I do?

    I can't shut down my computer because it says mail is open.  It says to close mail and continue shut down.  Problem is I can't open or close mail now.  Can't shut down my computer at all.  What can I do?

    If you cannot get mail to quit/force quit, you can always remove power from your Mac.
    NOTE: removing power is a bad idea, and can result in data loss, but sometimes it is the only thing left to do.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 to 10 seconds, and the Mac will power off.
    When you power back on, the Mac should reboot.

    Which Mail icon? That in the Applications folder, that in the Dock, or some other? You do not have to quit your applications in order to shut down your computer (heck, you hardly ever need to shut down your computer).

    Try to "Force Quit" Safari - either under the Apple menu or by holding down option-Command-esc.

  • Does not start, but when I shut down the computer then the browser shows up right before sytem shuts down.

    I am having problems with Firefox. When I click on the shortcut, or the .exe file nothing happens. I check task manager to see if it is running and it does not show Firefox is running.
    But when I shut down the computer then the browser shows up right before the computer shuts down. I have tried starting the browser in safe mode and the same thing happens. I cannot give any troubleshooting info because the browser is not visible for me to click on help or any other button.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    #Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    #Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • For some reason when I shut down my computer then turn it back on, it comes back directly into my account, bypassing having to enter a password to get into my account.  This works in direct conflict with the parental controls I've got set up.  Any ideas?

    Thank you so much for the quick response to my question.  I tested your directions and it works!!  Thank you.  I would never have figured that out.  I knew I had to go into System Preferences but would not have guessed that I needed to have Automatic Login set to off. 

  • I can't quit mail and thus, I can't shut down the computer. How do you "manually " shut down mail or computer (control-alt-delete in wintel world)

    I cannot quit mail for some reason. How can I shut it down?
    I need to do this before I can shut down the computer.

    To Force Quit a program go to the Apple Logo item in the menu bar and select Force Quit. Select the program from the list and click Force Quit.
    To Hard Power down it is the same as Wintel. Press the power button until the system Turns Off. Not the best solution but needed sometimes. Yes even on a Mac.

  • My Mozilla icon is no longer showing on my task bar AND I can not shut down my computer

    I have been unable, after multiple attempts, to 'shut down' my computer - while investigating possible reasons, I noticed that although Mozilla shows up on my screen icons, the symbol does not show up on my task bar. Not sure if one has anything to do with the other - but my Mozilla symbol has always showed up on my task bar, until now.

    Hi MarilynJ68,
    This may be more of a Windows problem than a Firefox one, but I will make a stab at answering it for you.
    I am not at the moment using Windows 7. I imagine though that by default it looks for running apps and prompts a user to close or save etc. before closing down.
    Use the task manager by I think right clicking the task bar or (was Ctrl + Alt+ Del) '''Ctrl + Shift+ Esc''' That allows you to see running programs and havethe option to stop them.

  • IPhoto update is taking longer so i can't shut down my computer.

    What could be the solution.

  • Imac asking to be shut down and restarted, then does it again???

    My computer all of a sudden starts telling me to press the power button to shut down and then to restart again. Also "Finder" not working once computer started up as well as safari just disapearing. Ran a hardware test and got harware " detect error 4MEM/9/40000000:0xa908b918" error message
    Just realized its been 1 year and didn't buy apple care : (
    Can someone please tell me what this means??

    Hi acj1978
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Sure sounds like a Kernel Panic do to a bad, incompatible or a partially dislodged RAM module.
    *If you have just recently upgraded the RAM:*
    1. Check to be sure that all the modules are in spec and full seated in there slots.
    2. Go back to using only the original modules that came in the iMac.
    *If you only have the factory RAM and not upgraded:*
    1. Check to be sure that both modules are fully seated.
    2. Try the modules one at a time to see if it will boot on either one.
    When installing or upgrading RAM you have to push real hard on each module with both thumbs to fully seat them in the slots. For assistance, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3918
    For replacement RAM, see > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac
    If you are not comfortable working in the RAM bay yourself, take it to your Local Apple Store or Apple Service Provider and have them check it out.

  • When unplugged my MBP randomly shuts down and won't start up again

    When my MBP is unplugged it randomly shuts off and won't restart. To get it to boot up again I have to plug it in.
    Today I was using my computer for about 15 minutes unplugged and it just shut down by itself. I was right in the middle of typing something and it just cut out. The other weird thing is I don't get a low battery warning, nothing, it just shuts down.
    Then I press the power button to restart and I get nothing. Even when I pull the battery out and put it back in nothing. I pressed the battery level button and it blinked rapidly on the lowest 2 lights. Keep in mind I was using my computer unplugged for only 15 minutes immediately after unplugging it from the wall after it had been charing for 15+ hours.
    This makes no sense. Please help me.
    -Jacob

    Sounds like a bad battery and/or problem with the PMU (power management unit) and/or memory.
    "Half the start up sound" is a bad sign as it means it's failing the normal start up tests (I'd guess a Memory problem)
    Reset the PMU and run the Hardware tests from Install DVD1 (hold down d at startup) and see what it reports.

  • I have a Macbook Air (11-inch Mid 2012) that is running OS X Yosemite. Every time that I shut down the computer, then turn it back on I receive a notification as it logs in that says "You shut down your computer because of a problem".

    I can't find out what that problem is. Any advice? Any ideas even as to what it might be? I haven't heard about this happening elsewhere.

  • Iphone 5 has shut down and won't start up again

    hey,
    my iphone 5 was charging while i was sleeping. I wanted to see what time it was but he just does nothing. There us a black screen (no charging icon). My power button is broken so a reset is not possible. If i connect it via itunes on my mac he can't find him. Help me!!!!

    Hello esterke,
    As I understand it you are not able to turn your phone on, and the power button doesn't work so you cannot turn it on that way. You may be able to get it back on by putting it into Recovery Mode, which only requires the USB connection and a working Home button. 
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If not your phone may need service:
    iPhone Repair and Service - Apple Support
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
